Song Qingjin wiped the tears on her face indiscriminately, and ran behind Xiao Yixuan to the old concubine's yard.She felt extremely sad in her heart, but apart from being sad, she couldn't believe it.All this happened so suddenly, she looked fine yesterday, although she was a little worried, but she never thought that such a thing would happen anyway.

Xiao Yixuan walked quickly in front of Song Qingjin, but after a while, he turned around suddenly, held Song Qingjin's hand, and then went to the old concubine's yard again.Song Qingjin put her hand in his palm and felt that her palm was covered with cold sweat.Song Qingjin couldn't help but hold it back tightly.follow him.She knew that the servant would not lie about such a big matter, but she just couldn't believe it.

She had no choice but to comfort Xiao Yixuan and said: "My lord, don't worry, nothing is certain!"

Xiao Yixuan did not speak, and held Song Qingmei's hand all the way to the old concubine's courtyard.It was already full of white eyes, and there was a lot of crying.Song Qingjin felt that she could no longer walk.There seemed to be a heavy weight under her feet, and she walked into the house step by step.She looked into the bed, and the old concubine was fully dressed, lying on the bed with her eyes closed.

The two ran over immediately.Xiao Yixuan took the lead in stretching out his hand to test the breath of the old concubine.But she was completely out of breath, obviously dead for a long time.Xiao Yixuan's legs softened and he sat on the ground.Song Qingjin couldn't help stretching out her hand, and touched the cold fingers of the old concubine, tears rolled down unconsciously.She called several times silently, but the person lying on the bed would no longer answer her.

Xiao Yixuan's face was pale, and he didn't know what to say.Song Qingmei turned her head and asked, "Nurse Sun, when did the old concubine die?"

Grandma Sun cried and said, "Girl Qing, the concubine is gone this morning. When the servant brought water in, she realized that something was wrong. When the old dowager's bed curtain was lifted, she had already passed away."

Song Qingjin wanted to ask something more, but Xiao Yixuan turned around and groped for the old concubine's bed as if something had sounded.After a while, he found a hand letter.That should be the old dowager's suicide note.Xiao Yixuan stood up staggeringly, and tore open the letter with trembling hands.Song Qingjin reacted immediately and told all the servants in the room to retreat.

Song Qingjin didn't go over to read the letter with Xiao Yixuan.Maybe this time he should be alone.Ankang also understood what Song Qingjin meant, so he didn't bother him.But he saw that after reading the letter, his master actually covered his eyes with one hand and shed tears.

Song Qingjin bit her lip.The pain of losing a mother is not something ordinary people can bear.She walked up slowly, came in front of Xiao Yixuan, and said: "My lord, why don't you take a good rest for a while, if you trust your servant, the old concubine's funeral will be handed over to your servant."

Xiao Yixuan didn't reply.I don't know how long it took before he said in a hoarse voice, "Okay. I'll leave it to you."

Song Qingjin turned to Ankang and said, "Ankang, you send the prince down first. Let him have a good rest. Then bring me the token of the palace."

Ankang nodded, and helped Xiao Yixuan to leave amidst the cries of a group of servants.Song Qingjin resisted the pain in her heart and said, "All the mothers and sisters have worked hard. Let's all go back and rest first."

The staff dispersed for a while.Grandma Sun still stayed there.Song Qingjin then said to her: "Nurse Sun, please take someone to guard the old concubine's body first, don't let anyone come near, the servants outside have already guarded it, and now it's getting hotter, Just don’t cover the concubine with a golden quilt. Someone will bring in ice in the afternoon, so just watch and put it by the bed.”

Grandma Sun agreed one by one.Song Qingjin wiped away the remaining tears on her face.After leaving the courtyard, he quickly walked towards Ningshuang Pavilion.When they got there, they saw that Baoxue and Cuimeng had all changed into white linen clothes, and even their belts were changed into white.Song Qingjin walked in on her own, went to the copper basin, and washed her face quickly.Both Baoxue and Cuimeng knew that the old concubine and Song Qingjin had a very good relationship, seeing this situation, how dare they persuade them.

Song Qingjin hurriedly went to the shelf to give her a towel, but when she handed it to her, she found that Song Qingjin's eyes were already swollen, like walnuts.She took the cloth towel from her hand, wiped her face a few times indiscriminately, and then thanked her in a low voice.Just as she was sitting at the table combing her hair, there was a knock on the door.Cuimeng immediately went to open the door, but Ankang was standing at the door.

He was also dressed in white linen clothes. He lowered his head and approached Song Qingjin's eyes, and said, "Sister Qingjin, the lord asked me to bring you a pair of cards and plain clothes."

Song Qingjin said thank you, first took over the two pairs of cards, and then looked at the wooden plate, which was a set of pure white plain clothes.She stretched out her hand to look through it, but the specifications of the clothes were made according to the grade of the princess.Song Qingjin immediately said: "I don't dare to wear these clothes, I don't have plain clothes here, just borrow a set from them."

Ankang immediately said: "Sister Qing, the lord has said it. Now he is really powerless about this matter. He originally troubled you to do this matter, and he was afraid that because of your status, the servants in the mansion would not listen to you , makes you angry, that’s why I asked you to wear this, and you don’t need to explain to them, those servants will listen to you.”

Song Qingjin was still a little hesitant, but Cuimeng had already taken the clothes and said, "Miss Qing, don't think about these things at this time. What the prince said makes sense, let's change it first and then talk about it."

Ankang also said yes.Song Qingjin had no choice but to accept it.After changing it as a last resort, he said to Baoxue and Cuimeng: "You two first help me to clean up the hut in front of the old concubine's yard, and then call all the servants in the mansion, after half an hour Everyone wait in the courtyard. I want to order the messenger."

After the two left, Song Qingjin sat on the chair again and counted carefully, all the twelve pairs of cards in the palace were in her hands.Song Qingjin was a little surprised while being emotional.Xiao Yixuan actually trusted her so much, this means that the entire palace was handed over to her.For some reason, Xiao Yixuan trusted her so much.

Song Qingjin sighed.Although she is also very sad now, but the deceased has passed away, and she must handle the funeral of the old concubine well, and no mistakes can be made.For the deceased old concubine, for herself, and for Xiao Yixuan.

She got up and left her seat, arranged her clothes for the last time, took the pair of cards in her hand, and went to the building where she was going to assign tasks.Nanny Sun had already been waiting for her outside the courtyard, leading her all the way there.Song Qingjin was a little nervous, but she forced herself to calm down.When they reached the closed gate of the courtyard, Nanny Sun pushed the door open.

The servants who were gossiping in the yard stopped, their eyes shot over here in unison.At that moment, almost everyone was stunned.There was a beautiful young woman standing in front of her, wearing a mourning dress of Su satin, but the luxurious material could be seen.With slender hands and slender eyes, she looks like a hibiscus emerging from water, like a concubine or fairy.

Some of the servants in the palace had never seen Song Qingjin, and they were all guessing at this moment, could this woman be the concubine that Xiao Yixuan married without telling everyone?Her eyes were a little swollen, as if she had just cried.Nanny Sun cleared her throat, and followed Song Qingjin slowly into the Baosha.Baoxue led her to sit on the wide couch covered with soft mattresses.

Nanny Sun communicated with the butler for a while, then stepped forward and said to the servants in a dark room: "The old concubine has passed away. The prince is not in good health now, and there are many things in the palace, so we invited the lady Song from the palace to come to us." The mansion has been in charge of the affairs of the past half a month, and now it is an eventful time, and you need to be more careful than before when you are on errands."

After Madam Sun finished saying these words, she turned around again, saluted Song Qingjin, and made a gesture of respect.Song Qingjin was still a little nervous when facing so many people at the same time.But she also knew that now was not the time to be nervous. She cleared her throat, sat upright on the couch, and said, "The old concubine died in the mansion. It stands to reason that when the concubine in the palace dies, the palace concubine should pass away." But in the morning, someone came from the palace to spread the word, saying that it is the funeral of the old concubine, and it is better to leave it to the palace."

At this time, a bold nanny stepped forward and said: "Miss, we all know this. But since you are a female official in the palace, you must have a noble status, and you can't stand the hard work. If you have something to do, you can Just go back to the palace and leave the old concubine's funeral to us servants. Don't worry, girl, as long as there is some help from the prince, we will definitely handle the old concubine's funeral in a proper and considerate manner, and it will be beautiful. "

Cuimeng is impatient, she just wanted to go up to speak, but was stopped by Song Qingjin.She tidied up her sleeves, and said lightly: "Madam, I want to ask. What are you in charge of in the palace?"

The nanny straightened her body and said proudly: "Back to the girl. My surname is Ming, but I am an old man in the palace. Three generations of my family have served in the mansion. I came from Suzhou with the old concubine. "

Another elderly woman also stepped forward and said, "Yes, girl. Mother Ming is the most senior person in our house. You have..."

Song Qingjin glanced at her coldly and interrupted her: "I asked what do you do? You just need to answer me what do you do. I don't have time to listen to you counting your qualifications here."

Ming's mother's complexion changed, and she said: "Return to the girl's words. The servants are in charge of the records and distribution of personnel in this mansion."

Song Qingjin smiled and said, "This is a good job. I think there must be hundreds if not thousands of people who have passed through your hands."

Mother Ming raised her head confidently.Song Qingjin suddenly changed her tone and said, "Since mother has done so well in the house, why doesn't she even know who I am?"
