After giving up being the wife of a powerful official, Ling Yunlu became a concubine

The second prince took a look and saw that it should be a huge rock that fell during a landslide.

He nodded and was about to hide.

A guard handed over his coat and said, "Your Majesty, please change your clothes with me."

The second prince pulled off his coat and threw it to the guard.

The second prince hid behind a rock, and the remaining two people protected the person pretending to be the second prince and started climbing up again.

The Second Prince and all the masked men followed the guards, and as they went up, they quietly walked out.

He knew that not far behind the mountain was the temple where the princess was.

He was not sure if there were other ambushes on the way back.

The safest way is to return to the temple and see if he can contact the guards to pick him up.

Because the guards changed their clothes, all the masked men chased after them.

There was no one at the foot of the mountain, and the second prince didn't dare to ride a horse, so he could only run forward at full speed.

Fortunately, the mountain is not too far from the temple.

The maid was also surprised to hear that the second prince had returned.

"Tell your princess that I have been ambushed and will need to stay here for a day or two."

The second prince was in a very embarrassed state at the moment, still wearing the clothes of a guard.

When the maid heard this, she hurried into the house and reported it to the princess.

When the Second Princess heard that the Second Prince had fallen into an ambush, she couldn't help but sit up suddenly.

After all, they have been married for many years, and she is full of worries.

"How is the prince? Is he injured?"

The second prince heard it clearly outside the door.

"The king is not injured, he just needs a change of clothes."

The prince had been pampered since childhood, and even though he was demoted to a commoner, he was not as embarrassed as he is today.

But where would the Second Princess find men's clothes?

"Then wait a moment, Your Majesty. I will ask the maid to do something quickly."

The Second Princess asked her maid to help her up. She walked to the box and took out a piece of silver-gray cloth from it.

The maid cleared away everything on the table and brought out the tools for making the work.

The second imperial concubine picked up the scissors and cut the cloth in no time.

"You sew the hem of the trousers, and I will sew the shirt."

The maid hurriedly stopped her, "Princess, please let me do it. Your body can't handle it."

The Second Imperial Concubine asked her maid to help her to the bed. She half leaned against the headboard and took two breaths.

"It's okay. This is the last thing I will do for the prince."

The lights in the house were on all night, and the second prince was wandering outside the house.

He didn't understand, since the princess was willing to make clothes for him, why didn't she see him?

On the afternoon of the second day, the Second Imperial Concubine and her maid finally finished making the clothes.

The Second Princess tried to open her eyes wide and looked at the clothes in front of her.

"It's a pity that the time is too short, and there are no beautiful patterns embroidered on this dress."

Because of the short time, only the collar, cuffs, etc. can be embroidered with a circular pattern.

The maid looked at the dying Second Imperial Concubine and suppressed her pain.

"Princess, this is beautiful. The prince will definitely like it!"

The Second Princess nodded weakly; she felt her life slipping away.

She stared at the maid.

"Remember, you must not let the prince see me like this!"

The maid nodded while crying.

The Second Princess lay down and closed her eyes. She was indeed very tired.

The maidservant watched the Second Imperial Concubine die and cried silently.

The second prince happened to hear it and asked, "What happened?"

The maid took out a white silk handkerchief and covered the Second Princess' face with it.

Then he let down the bed curtains and opened the door.

She handed the clothes in her hand to the second prince.

"My Lord, the dress is ready. Please try it on to see if it fits you."

The second prince took his clothes and went to the ear room to change.

The silver-grey dress was the perfect size.

The second prince came out and said, "It's very appropriate. Why were you crying just now?"

The maid collapsed at once.

"My Lord, the princess is gone!"

The second prince thought he had misheard, "Where did the princess go? Wasn't she still in the room just now?"

"This servant said that the princess passed away!"

The maid burst into tears and the second prince rushed into the room.

In the room, the Second Imperial Concubine was seen lying quietly on the bed, a small heap.

The second prince pulled aside the curtain and saw the princess, who was so thin that she no longer looked like a human.

"Impossible! She was talking to me yesterday! How could she be gone?"

The second prince reached out to lift the veil, but the maid rushed over to stop him.

"The princess said that she doesn't want you to see her in her current state."

"She said that this way, your heart will still be as beautiful as when you first met."

The second prince let go of his hand dejectedly.

He recalled the scene when he first met the princess.

At that time, it was spring and flowers were blooming, so he and his classmates from the Imperial College went out for an outing.

It just so happened that the Second Imperial Concubine was secretly flying a kite in the suburbs with her maid.

At that time, the charming and lovely Second Imperial Concubine immediately caught his eye.

After he returned to the palace, he proposed to his mother that he should marry the daughter of the Minister of War as his concubine.

Just like that, the two of them became a family.

Who would have thought that now, his princess would pass away before him!

"Why is the princess so thin?"

The second prince looked at the lying princess with heartache.

"In reply to your Highness, the princess has had difficulty eating since the eldest son passed away."

"Plus, the princess was seriously ill and didn't have much time left. She worked for two days and one night to make clothes for the prince, so..."

The maid couldn't continue speaking and she covered her mouth and cried.

When the second prince heard this, he realized that it was because she was rushing to make clothes for him that the princess passed away.

He stood up and was about to take off his clothes.

The maid knelt down hurriedly: "Your Highness, please put it on. The princess said that this might be the last thing she would do for you."

The second prince felt two lines of tears flowing down his face.

In the evening, the second prince's guards finally came.

"Please forgive us, Second Prince. We are late!" The guards knelt down one after another.

The second prince waved his hand, "Everyone, get up!"

Now that his pick-up person has arrived, the Second Prince is about to set off back to the capital.

He deposited the princess's coffin in the temple, preparing to have someone escort it back to Beijing the next day.

As for the princess's personal maid, she also followed the second prince back to the capital.

When the prince heard that the second prince had returned alive, he called the guards to his presence.

"Didn't you say that the Second Prince had no chance of survival after falling off the cliff? Why is he coming back so brazenly now?"

The guards also had their grievances cut short.

At that time, they clearly saw the second prince jump off the cliff.

They also went to see that the cliff was bottomless.

The Second Prince is not an eagle, how could he survive after falling from such a high cliff!

The prince was so angry that he whipped the guard severely.

"If you mess things up again next time, you won't have to keep your head!"

The prince's gloomy tone made the guards tremble like sieves.
