C276 A Heavy Heart

Mu Ruqing woke up and felt that her head was a little heavy. She rubbed it. "Lingyue? Lingyue?"

"Princess, what's wrong?" Lingyue brought Mu Ruqing to wash up.

"Where's the Royal Highness?" Mu Ruqing walked around and did not see Yu Longchen. She felt a little worried.

"I did not see him either. Maybe he went to the upper court."

" Oh. " Only then did Mu Ruqing heave a sigh of relief. She used a handkerchief to wipe the water off her hand. "Then where is the little girl? Did you go to see her? "

"I did. She woke up and was still arguing for the deer." Lingyue sighed with regret and helplessness," Princess, who do you think is more trustworthy? "

"I don't know either. They are only children, so how could they think of such an idea?" Mu Ruqing raised her eyebrows. It was better to investigate this matter clearly. "Later, we will do this..."

Lingyue listened carefully and nodded before retreating.

Mu Ruqing looked at herself in the bronze mirror and touched her lower abdomen. A sense of happiness spontaneously arose in her heart but she felt inexplicably panicked in her heart.

It was almost time. Mu Ruqing went to the children's place by herself.

Lingyue followed Mu Ruqing's instructions and sent a lot of jewelry for them to choose.

A few children crowded around. The child who made a mistake last night hid behind them and lowered his head, not daring to go forward.

"You guys come quickly. What are you doing there?" Lingyue's face was full of love as she waved at them.

The children were overwhelmed by the favor and their eyes were full of joy. However, in an instant, they became sad and their faces were full of grievance and sadness. "We have made a mistake and do not deserve such a good thing."

"The matter has already happened. If they were to say something wrong, the deer would make the most mistakes. You're just victims. Alright, come over quickly. This is what the Princess used to comfort you about last night. I scared all of you, but you are in the Imperial Residence, what happened in the Imperial Capital... The scary part is still to come. Last night could be considered as a training experience for you. " Lingyue walked forward and caressed their heads as she smiled gently.

"But elder sister, regarding the matter of the deer, we cannot absolve ourselves from the blame. We are willing to go to the Unfettered Hall to protect her spirit." The children lowered their heads and looked at each other, full of guilt.

"That's good too, it's rare for you to care about your sisters. It's not good for me to stop you. Why don't you follow me now? " Lingyue did not wait for the children to agree. She walked in front and motioned for the children to follow.

The children looked at each other and cowered. They did not dare to follow until Lingyue turned back to look at them. "Quickly come. The Imperial Residence is so big. You did not go over there. I don't know where it is."

... "Yes." After a long time, they finally said something. They walked very slowly, and their eyes were filled with confusion.

"What's wrong?" Lingyue saw that they were walking very slowly and also slowed down her footsteps. She asked if they were feeling unwell, "But are you feeling unwell? If they were not feeling well, then go back. As for the deer, if you don't want to go, you can choose not to. After all, in the end, the deer has let you down. She doesn't care about the relationship between sisters. You don't have to do this to her."

When the children heard her, they thought it was a release. It was only later that they heard it clearly. If they left just like that, they would be able to prove their lack of affection. It was no different from a deer, but just now, they said how they paid attention to their relationship as sisters. If they backed off now, Lingyue would probably misunderstand.

"Sister, we are fine. Maybe we were too frightened last night and haven't recovered yet. We are guarding the spirit of the little sister. It can be considered to be the last of our brotherly love." One of the children said sincerely with a slight blessing.

"Alright, I wasn't wrong about you. The Princess likes people who value friendship." Lingyue's words became more and more firm in the hearts of the few children who were guarding the spirit of the deer. Lingyue's meaning was that they would be loved by Mu Ruqing.

She only wanted to guard the coffin for a few days in exchange for the favor of the Princess of the Imperial Residence. It was worth it.

"Thank you elder sister." The children were quite polite. Lingyue was indeed satisfied.

After a quarter of an hour, they arrived at the courtyard of the mansion. Mu Ruqing cleared out a small room and placed the deer's coffin in it.

In other families, how could there be such a good thing? servant girl had died. It would be good if someone carried her out. Who could interfere with your funeral?

"The Empress values relationships and loyalty. As long as she serves her with all her heart, she will never forget. Although the deer was too much, the Wang Fei still cared about the deer's feelings. All of you have seen it, but if you betray the Princess... The consequences are even more terrifying than what you've seen." Lingyue said as she walked. This was a warning and also a favor.

The children looked at each other. No one knew what was going on in their minds. At the same time, they replied, "We are loyal to the Princess."

Lingyue did not turn around. She only glanced at them out of the corner of her eye and walked in to offer incense to the deer.

They looked at the rising cigarette of Miao Miao and the token of the deer. They felt goosebumps all over their bodies. They couldn't help but take a step back.

Lingyue stood by the side and said, "Come quickly. The mourning attire is on the stool beside you. You guys can change it yourselves."

"Yes." The children walked over one by one.

After a while, they came out wearing mourning clothes. Their eyes were hazy. They lit incense and bowed to the deer.

"It's our fault. If I had let the little deer go, this wouldn't have happened. I should have let the little deer go"

"Little Sister, you go away, it's my fault"

"You've always been our little sister It's all our fault "

As they spoke, they cried, their tears falling to the ground. Lingyue looked at their expressions and felt suppressed in her heart. Covering her face, she retreated and stood at the door. Back! Tears flowed out of his eyes. Little deer, go.

Lingyue turned around sadly and saw a little servant girl walking over from the side. She nodded at Lingyue and hid.

Lingyue wiped away her tears and looked at the children and said sadly, "You guys stay here and watch over the little deer. I still need to serve the princess. Dinner will be sent over. "

"Thank you Ms Lingyue."

Their eyes were red with tears. They could not say anything other than gratitude.

Lingyue left and the children knelt for a while. Seeing that no one came, they ran to the door and sat down.

"It's all your fault." The child sitting on the left looked at the child in the middle and complained.

"What did you say? It's still not you!" The middle child was already depressed in her heart. She pointed at her nose and cursed.

"If it wasn't for you, how could we have used it in such a gloomy place?" The two of them started to criticize each other, neither of them giving in to the other.

"It was clearly your fault, but you still pushed it all on me." How could the middle child tolerate it? As he spoke, he clawed over.

The child who was criticizing her dodged, and the anger in his heart was immediately released. He directly ripped off her filial piety hat and pulled her hair.

The other child only tried to persuade her by the side, but was instead hit by the two of them a few times. She no longer had the mood and just looked at the two people fighting by the side with a sullen face.

The two of them had their own color on them, so the child could not bear to watch any longer. He said unhappily, "If you guys continue to make a fuss, when the Princess comes later, we'll see how you guys explain it."

The two children who were fighting stopped and criticized a few more times. They straightened their clothes and obediently entered the mourning hall. One of them still did not like the other.
