Chapter 144 Lin Zhaorong dies
As soon as the two finished speaking, a childish voice came from outside the hall.
"Mother, my child is back!"
It was the palace servants who brought back the eldest prince and the second prince.
Seeing this, Concubine Xian hurriedly stood up and whispered, "I will take Yuchuan out, and you and your son can have some heartfelt words."
Lin Zhaorong smiled gratefully, "Thank you, Her Majesty, for your understanding."
"What's there to thank me for? Just wait in the palace. I'll take Yuchuan out."
After saying this, Concubine Xie led her maids out of the palace and stopped the man at the corridor.
"Yuchuan, how about letting Big Brother talk to his mother? Don't you want to see the red plum blossoms? How about mother taking you to the Imperial Garden?"
The second prince pondered for a while with his little head, and said in a baby voice, "Okay, big brother will go with mother, and Yuchuan will also go with mother."
"Yuchuan is so good.
Concubine Xie smiled gently and picked him up herself.
Before leaving, she patted the eldest prince's shoulder and said, "Yuqi, come into the palace. Your mother is waiting for you. After you finish talking, let the palace maid take you back to Yichun Palace. Thank you, Her Majesty, for letting the palace maid make your favorite snacks."
The eldest prince bowed and said, "Yuqi thanks the queen."
Concubine Xie said gently, "Go."

Inside the hall.
Seeing the eldest prince come in, Lin Zhaorong quickly composed herself and smiled softly, "Yuqi, come here, mother."
The eldest prince stood obediently in front of Lin Zhaorong.
"Mother."
Lin Zhaorong first straightened his clothes and then fixed his hair crown. There was a look in her eyes that the eldest prince couldn't understand yet. She tried to keep her tone light.
"Mother has something to tell Yuqi. Yuqi is so obedient, will he agree to it?"
The eldest prince nodded solemnly: "My mother said so, and I will definitely do it."
Lin Zhaorong forced a smile, suppressed the sob in her throat, and then spoke.
"From now on, Yuqi, you must listen to your father and mother. Do whatever they say. Don't make them angry and don't do things they don't like. That's the only way to be liked by others."
"When it's cold, have the palace servants put on more clothes for you. When it's hot, have the palace servants put an ice pot in front of your desk where you do your homework. If you want to eat something, have the imperial kitchen prepare it."
"You are a prince. If something is inappropriate, just give the order directly. Don't compromise. Do you understand?"
The eldest prince said with red eyes, "I understand. But mother usually takes care of everything, from the cold to the heat, the schoolwork to the food. Why are you giving me orders now? Could it be that mother doesn't want me anymore?"
"How could that be?" Lin Zhaorong said, fighting back tears. "Mother thinks Yuqi has grown up, so she's training him."
"So, mother wants to train me." The eldest prince nodded, looking somewhat discouraged. "But I'm useless. I can't even redress mother's grievances. That Lin..."
Lin Zhaorong looked at him fondly. "Empress Xie has already told Mother about this matter. Mother believes that your father, the Emperor and the Empress, will definitely give Mother justice. Don't worry, Yuqi."
The eldest prince was still worried: "But..."
Lin Zhaorong straightened her face and said, "Could it be that Yuqi doesn't believe in Mother?"
The eldest prince immediately said, "Believe it!"
In this world, the person he trusts most is his mother, who would never lie to him.
Lin Zhaorong's expression softened. "Yuqi is so obedient, he really is like a big boy. Since he is a big boy, then mother will give Yuqi another task."
"Mother said I will do it."
Lin Zhaorong took off the red jade bracelet from her wrist and handed it to him, "Hide it well. When Yuqi finds a girl he likes in the future, give it to her."
Yu Qi took it over: "What kind of girl do you like?"
Lin Zhaorong patted his head and said, "Yuqi will understand in the future. Just remember what mother said."
Yu Qi put the jade bracelet into his clothes and nodded, "Okay."
"Let mother take a good look at it again."
Lin Zhaorong touched his whole body with tears in her eyes.
There is an indelible reluctance in his eyes.
At the end, Lin Zhaorong suddenly hugged him in her arms, murmuring, "My Yuqi... My Yuqi..."
The force felt a little painful on the eldest prince's part, but he did not struggle and obediently let Lin Zhaorong hold him.
After a long time, Lin Zhaorong let him go and smiled lovingly, "Go, return to Empress Xie's Yichun Palace."
The eldest prince was reluctant to leave: "Mother, I will definitely find a way to come and see you again."
Lin Zhaorong nodded slightly.
"The child is gone."
When the eldest prince was about to step out of the door, a heart-wrenching cry came from the palace.
"Yu Qi!"
The eldest prince turned around and said, "What's wrong, Mother? Do you have anything else to tell me?"
Lin Zhaorong was heartbroken.
She turned away and wiped her tears hurriedly, then turned back and smiled again.
"Yuqi, you have to be good, okay?"
The eldest prince nodded: "I know."
"Go ahead."
It was not until the figure disappeared outside the palace gate that Lin Zhaorong covered her mouth and burst into tears.
Her trusted maid Xiuping came to support her, crying, "My Lady, even if the days ahead are tough, I will always be with you."
Lin Zhaorong cried and did not answer her.

The wind and snow are getting stronger.
The biting cold wind wrapped in ice crystals was howling between heaven and earth.
Inside Yichun Palace.
After covering the eldest prince with a brocade quilt, Concubine Xie hurried to another side hall.
"How is Yuchuan?"
After returning to the palace after admiring the plum blossoms today, the second prince became feverish.
After the imperial physician gave me acupuncture, he prescribed a prescription. The fever had gone down before, but it came back up again.
Hua Ying, the confidant of Concubine Xian, was holding a bowl of pitch-black medicine and feeding it to the Second Prince spoon by spoon.
"I'm feeding her medicine. If the fever doesn't subside in a while, I'll go get the imperial physician."
"Okay." Concubine Xie took off her cloak and walked to the bed. "Let me come."
Huaying handed her the bowl of medicine.
Concubine Xie was very patient and slowly fed the medicine to the Second Prince. There was regret in her voice.
"If I had known this, I wouldn't have taken him to see the plum blossoms! Why would I freeze him to death just for a momentary beauty?"
Hua Ying comforted her.
After feeding the medicine, Concubine Xie sat beside the couch and kept testing the temperature of the second prince's forehead.
“Squeak!”
It was the sound of the door opening inside the hall.
A little palace maid came in hurriedly. Hua Ying was about to step forward and scold her, but she heard the little palace maid say,
"My Queen, something happened in the palace!"
"Lin Zhaorong is dead!"
The corners of Concubine Xie's lips curled up slightly, and in an instant, she put away her expression and stood up suddenly.
"how so?!"
