His eyes swept across the inner room, and several elongated shadows were reflected on the richly blooming rosewood screen. They were the queen's maids and nuns, helping the sleeping queen clean up.

Outside the house, the palace maids, eunuchs, and doctor Wenpo who had exited were all standing in the courtyard.

In recent years, royal families in various countries have been very vigilant about the birth of children. Even if an unpopular concubine gives birth, the emperor will personally watch over it.

In addition, except for necessary personnel, no one else is allowed to approach, and the number of insiders is limited, so the possibility of leakage is much smaller than before.

More importantly, starting from the Nanming Kingdom two hundred years ago, Princess Xiyue's lifespan changed. A hundred years ago, the Longqing Kingdom unexpectedly lived to be nineteen years old, a full six hundred years earlier than the previous pattern.

Will she live longer this time?

Emperor Xuande clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "She should be hungry, so take her out to feed her. You should also go back. As the emperor's brother, you must be well prepared for the baptism ceremony in three days."

Ji Yun's body stiffened for a moment, and then he replied: "Yes!"

He slowly walked out of the palace door with the baby in his arms and looked up at the sky. The autumn moon was hanging high, as bright and clear as the first sight of the Mid-Autumn Festival that year. The moonlight fell from the gaps in the sycamore leaves above her head and fell into her clear apricot eyes.

His figure is reflected on the ground...

"Father, can I give her a nickname? How about Jiao Jiao?"

Emperor Xuande was slightly startled. Since he wanted to hide his identity, the title Xi Yue could no longer be used, and the character Yue could not be used either. It would be a good idea to give him a nickname.

Thinking of this, he nodded and said: "Okay."

In the side hall, Jiao Jiao puffed up bubbles after finishing her feeding and then fell asleep. Ji Yun looked at her sleeping face, a tasteless sadness blooming on his lips, brother and sister...

Boom boom boom!

After a gentle knock on the door, the voice of personal chamberlain Xiao Xizi sounded outside the door: "Your Highness, it's getting late, we have to go back."

Ji Yun ignored him and sat quietly next to the cradle, looking down at the ground not far away. After a long time, he opened his mouth and his voice was so soft that he almost whispered: "I have been waiting for you in Huangquan for more than a hundred years. You

Why didn't you come?"

What answered him was the sweet breathing of a baby.

Early the next morning, Ji Yun ate a few mouthfuls and hurried to Weiyang Palace. As soon as he reached the door, he heard crying suddenly coming from inside. His heart tightened, and he quickly walked in and bumped into a eunuch who came out.

Seeing the person he bumped into, the eunuch hurriedly confessed: "This slave deserves to die!"

"What happened?" Ji Yun's heart was high.

"The Queen is bleeding profusely and has died!"

"What?"

Ji Yun couldn't believe it. When he left last night, he heard that the queen had woken up once and had taken ginseng soup. How could he suddenly bleed heavily?

The eunuch was in a hurry to run an errand, so he said, "I will go to the various palaces to report the news," and ran away.

Ji Yun captured another little eunuch and asked, "Where is the little princess?"

"The little princess just finished feeding and fell asleep. The eldest princess clamored to see the queen, but Aunt Ganoderma stopped her..."

Just as he was talking, he saw a group of people dragging a few bloody corpses out. Ji Yun, the eunuch and maid of Weiyang Palace, didn’t know many of them, but he knew the imperial doctor, Wen Po, several aunts and eunuchs in charge, and they were all dead.

.

"What are they?"

"The empress passed away, and Your Majesty was so angry that they didn't do their best..."

Ji Yun felt a chill in his heart and instantly understood what the massive bleeding was about.
