Chapter 57: Another National Funeral
When Ruyue was sober, she knew that she had given birth to a princess, although she was a little disappointed, but when she saw her daughter, the disappointment in her heart also faded, and the whole person seemed to have grown up suddenly, and her body also exuded a soft light.
The east hall of Cuizhuxuan
A woman in a flag suit, sitting on the bed in a daze, the tears in her eyes kept falling, the original plump body is now thin, and the whole person looks pitiful, but except for a few maids, there is no outsider.
"The poor fourth elder brother of this palace, if it weren't for Eniang's low status, how could she let you be held by someone else to raise?" said that, there was some expression on the woman's face, but the kind of hidden pain was even more uncomfortable.
When the maids around them heard this, they couldn't help but shed tears, they knew their master's suffering, but they had no choice but to take care of their master as much as possible, hoping that she could get the emperor's favor as soon as possible, and live well in the palace.
It turned out that this woman was Wu Yashi, and in the past, she knew that her son would be taken away and raised by Concubine Tong, but when it really happened, she knew that she was not so strong at all.
She is a woman, a child's mother, but she just looked at her son and was taken away by Concubine Tong's grandmother, but what could she do? Her status is low, and she is not qualified to raise her brother at all, besides, she also knew that her son would definitely be taken away and raised by Concubine Tong.
"Master, otherwise, let's go and beg Guo Niangniang, if she is willing to help, Niangniang may be able to meet the fourth elder brother. ”
A maid looked at Wu Yashi and said.
Hearing this, Wu Yashi looked at the maid slightly, only to see her shake her head gently, and said: "Guo Niangniang has just given birth to the fifth elder brother now, and she has not even come out of confinement. ”
The maid beside her naturally knew that what the master said was right, but she really couldn't think of any way, so she lowered her head with some guilt.
Everyone also knows that what their master said is right, not to mention, Guo Niangniang is not suitable to see people at all now, even if she is in good health, she may not necessarily help her master.
Seeing their foreheads, Wu Yashi smiled reluctantly and said: "Don't think about it too much, this palace has known that the elder brother she gave birth to has to be handed over to Concubine Tong to raise since the day she went to bed, but every time I hear about the fourth elder brother announcing the imperial doctor, this palace feels uncomfortable." ”
"That's the elder brother who was born ten months pregnant in this palace, and this palace has never fulfilled its responsibility as a mother, so it was taken away, and it was this palace that was sorry for him!"
Time flowed slowly, and the fourth elder brother was diagnosed with a low-grade fever, and the imperial doctor prescribed a few pairs of medicines to control it. The rest of the Empress Niu Colu was not so lucky, I saw that she had a high fever, and although the imperial doctor prescribed countless decoctions, there was no way to control her condition.
When the fifth elder brother was three days old, the empress dowager handed over this matter to the empress dowager to preside, first: she wanted her to have a good relationship with the people of Guo Luoluo's family, hoping that the emperor could let the empress dowager raise the fifth elder brother born to Guo Gui. Second: Queen Niu Colu has a high fever now, and there is really no other suitable person except for her, the queen mother.
Ruyue heard the grandmother next to her talk about the fifth elder brother's washing of the third, and then she realized that something was wrong, why didn't her sister come forward, but it was the queen mother who presided over the fifth elder brother's washing of the third?
After inquiry, she found out that her sister was actually sick, which made her anxious, so she hurriedly asked the grandmother next to her to see her sister's condition.
And Niu Colu, who was lying on the bed, did not have much spiritual energy now, although she was still taking the decoction, her body still did not improve at all, and she even had a premonition that her days were numbered.
"Mama, the body of this palace may be dying. ”
Niu Colu looked at his grandmother weakly and said.
"No, the mother will definitely get better. When the grandmother next to her heard Niu Colu's words, she was so frightened that she almost burst into tears, and her hands trembled a little because of the fright.
Niu Colu shook her head slightly, looking at the upbringing who had been with her since she was a child, her heart was also very uncomfortable, but she had to think about her sister, at the moment: "Mama, you have been by the side of the palace since you were a child, taking care of the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the palace, and in the heart of the palace, you are equivalent to the mother of the palace." As she spoke, she couldn't help but smile.
"Mother....... Mama shouted quietly, she choked up and couldn't speak, and the tears in her eyes slowly flowed, she knew that what her master said was true, but when she thought of her master's body, she was very sad.
"Mama, this palace knows that you are sad in your heart, but there is not much time in this palace. As she spoke, she gasped uncomfortably, looked up at the grandmother beside her and said, "You go and prepare a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, this is all that this palace can do for Ruyue, and I hope that my Niu Colu family can continue to maintain the prosperity of the past." ”
Hearing this, Mama's heart was very uncomfortable, but she couldn't refuse her master's request, so she could only nod her head and take a piece of stuff from the study.
Niu Colu sat up slowly with the support of her grandmother, but this fluttering feeling made her clearly know that her time was really running out.
Gently pinched the brush, dipped it in the ink a few times, and then slowly wrote on a piece of rice paper, one wrote the list, the other wrote the instructions, and when the writing was finished, a smile was revealed.
At this time, the grandmother next to her took out an envelope from the side, and she took advantage of the candle that the grandmother raised, and struggled to seal the letter, and when she finished this qiē, she fell on the body of the grandmother, and under the service of the grandmother, she lay on the bed again.
"Mama, this letter, please pass it on to Ruyue, and when the time comes, please help me take care of her a little more. As he spoke, Niu Colu handed the envelope in his hand to his grandmother, and a tear fell from the corner of his eye.
Mama took the envelope in her hand, gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and barely showed a smile, then looked at Niu Colu and promised: "Niangniang, don't worry, as long as the slave is in one day, no one will hurt the second miss." ”
Receiving this assurance, Niu Colu smiled with relief, and then slowly closed his eyes.
