In the harem of the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Hongzhi and Empress Zhang stood side by side in front of a small couch, looking at a small body on the couch with a loving face.

It was a baby girl, a baby girl who was only two years old. Normally, a baby of this size should be when the milk is fat, and it will look round and smooth.

However, the child in front of him looked extremely thin. The delicate skin has an unusual paleness, so that even the cyan blood vessels are clear, and against the white skin, they are like earthworms.

The girl had a faint hair, but it looked charred and dry, like straw that had lost its moisture. I can already see the delicate face, even in a deep sleep, it shows a little weakness from time to time.

"Woo......"

Empress Zhang looked at her daughter's sleeping face stupidly, and saw her unconsciously frowning little brows, and suddenly felt sadness coming from it, and couldn't hold back her grief anymore, and let out a suppressed low cry.

Emperor Hongzhi's face twitched slightly, and he glanced at his daughter again with pity and reluctance, then turned around and hugged Empress Zhang, hugged her to the side and sat down, and comforted her softly: "Empress, don't cry." It's going to be fine, I promise. Our Taikang will get better soon, she will grow up slowly, she will laugh and laugh around our knees, and then she will gradually grow into the most beautiful princess in the world. When the time comes, I will definitely find the best colt for her, so that she will be happy for the rest of her life. Yes, she will be! She is my Taikang, I am the Son of Heaven, I inherit the mandate of heaven, I give her the name Taikang, she will definitely be healthy, she will definitely be ......."

He muttered, at first he was just comforting the queen, but when he arrived, it was like a murmur, his eyes were full of tears, but his face was full of hope.

Empress Zhang nodded vigorously and looked up at the emperor, wanting to make herself smile. But the smile immediately closed, and immediately turned into tears on his face, and he threw himself into the man's arms with a wow, and cried loudly.

The tears in Emperor Hongzhi's eyes finally couldn't be suppressed anymore and slipped down silently. With a slight force in both hands, he hugged the queen tightly, as if he could give her his own strength and make her feel her firmness.

The white-haired man sends the black-haired man, this deepest sorrow in the world is repeated in him again and again, which makes the most noble couple in the world unbearable.

“…… Since I ascended the throne, I have been conscientious, dreaming and worrying all night, never daring to slack off, and only hope that all my subjects in the world can enjoy a peaceful and prosperous world. Nowadays, although there are small flaws, the flaws are not hidden, and they can be called ZTE. I may not be as good as the Tang Dynasty and Song Ancestors, and I may not be as good as the Taizu as an ancestor, but I should also be regarded as a qualified son of heaven, right? Therefore, God will definitely bless me, and I will definitely be. I've lost Wei'er, I won't ...... I shouldn't take away my Taikang anymore, no! I won't......"

He muttered as he muttered, his voice getting quieter and quieter, but full of endless pathos and unwillingness. The distracted eyes stared vacantly into the void, as if he saw the master of the underworld, and he was pouring out and pleading in grief and indignation......

Empress Zhang's sobbing voice turned low, raised her teary eyes, and looked at the man's side face. Reach out and gently grab the man's broad palm, and hold it slightly hard. There was sadness and worry on his face, and a tingling pain in his heart.

They are rich and wealthy, and they are the most noble beings in the world, so they can take anything and ask for anything. But he couldn't keep the little life of his beloved son and daughter, what a sadness, what an irony.

's husband, a dignified generation of emperors, has worked hard and hard for the sake of this world. Now he is only about 30 people, but he is already full of flowers, and he is declining before he gets old. As he himself said, he is a good emperor, he has paid too much for the world, but why does God want to condemn the two like this?

Heaven is unfair!

Empress Zhang screamed in her heart, but her lips were tightly pursed on her face, and she let the tears flow freely. After a moment, he tried his best to suppress his sadness, and said softly and hoarsely: "Your Majesty......"

Emperor Hongzhi stopped muttering, looked down at the queen in his arms, and reluctantly made a relieved smile.

Empress Zhang also tried her best to respond to a smiling face, but she didn't know that her smile at the moment was not much better than crying. It's like a knife, stabbing deeply into Hongji's heart.

Emperor Hongzhi secretly gritted his teeth and hugged the queen tightly again. The husband and wife hugged each other and sat quietly without a sound.

The moonlight on the horizon is vague and unclear, and every inch of space in the room seems to be filled with a sad atmosphere. The wind blew, and one of the red candles flickered a few times, flickered, and then went out with a pop. The whole room was a little darker......

The palace maid standing outside looked inside, hesitating whether to go in and rekindle it. It's just that the corner of his eye glanced at the two figures hugging each other slightly, and then turned into a gloom, and took back the steps he was about to take.

As a harem attendant, she empathizes with the grief of His Majesty and Niangniang. But her view of heaven at the moment is different from the two inside: heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs. It is the respect of the emperor in the world, but there are also dreams and unexpected expectations. It's just that the poor little child has just opened his confused eyes, and he has not even seen the world clearly, so he wants to go like this. It's sad and deplorable......

A silent figure appeared in the shadows, like a ghost. The waitress who was lamenting woke up, raised her eyes, and couldn't help but turn pale with fright, and went down in a panic.

The old eunuch Du Fu waved his hand gently, his eyes swept in the slightly dark room, and then let out a silent sigh.

After a slight pause, his feet deliberately increased slightly, and he stepped up the jade steps. It's just that the people inside still don't seem to be aware, so they have to cough lightly again, and then they call softly: "Grandpa Qi, Niangniang, Xiao Jing is back." ”

There seemed to be a slight condensation inside, and then there was a clang, as if something had been turned over. Du Fu was taken aback, and subconsciously wanted to run inside, but when he heard the sound of footsteps, Emperor Hongzhi had already rushed out first, not realizing his gaffe at all, so he grabbed Du Fu's sleeve and said urgently: "How is it, how is it?"

With the sound, Queen Zhang also appeared behind her, her clothes were slightly disheveled, and her eyes were red and swollen to look at this side.

Du Fu's heart was beating wildly, he didn't dare to look at it anymore, he hurriedly lowered his eyes, and replied softly: "Go back to grandpa, say it's done." At this moment, Xiao Jing is waiting in front, but do you want to announce his audience?"

Emperor Hongzhi immediately nodded, and opened his mouth to agree. It's just that he suddenly paused again, turned around and looked at the queen who was following him, then took a deep breath, calmed down his beating heart, and then said in a deep voice: "Let him wait in the hall, and I will pass." I want to know every detail, every detail!

Du Fu said yes respectfully, bowed to the two, and then went backwards and turned around.

Here, Empress Zhang was full of excitement, looking at the emperor and opening her mouth to speak, but her lips closed a few times, and she didn't say a word.

The emperor found a way that might save his daughter, and Du Fu's reply just now seemed to be feasible. But she suddenly didn't dare to ask out loud, lest the result of asking out again would be bad, and she would fall into despair again.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the queen's eyes of gains and losses, and he didn't understand his wife's thoughts. Unconsciously, he felt another pain, but he tried to pretend to be calm, and said softly: "I believe that I am the Son of Heaven, the Son of Destiny favored by God." Go ahead, take a good look at Taikang, and wait for me to come back. ”

Empress Zhang raised her hand to cover her mouth, whimpered and nodded vigorously. Emperor Hongzhi gave her a deep look, then turned sharply and strode forward. Behind, several palace maids hurriedly ran to follow, the lights and shadows flickered, and they quickly disappeared in front of them.

"The old slave knocks to your majesty. In the side hall, Xiao Jing was already prostrate on the ground, bowing to Emperor Hongzhi who rushed in two steps.

"Don't talk nonsense, get up and talk back, what's going on?" Emperor Hongzhi waved his sleeves impatiently, turned around and lifted his robe, and sat down behind the imperial case while drinking.

Du Fu waited next to him, and took a blue and white porcelain cup from the palace maid and put it on the desk. Inside is just a good ginseng soup, Emperor Hongzhi is weak, and often stays up late, but this is a customary thing.

However, at this moment, Emperor Hongzhi didn't even look at it, just stared at Xiao Jing below, and his face unconsciously showed a little nervousness.

Xiao Jing didn't dare to slack off, and he didn't get up, so he changed directions on the ground and bowed again: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, that Su Mo really has the technique of returning to the sky." The tester that the old slave found today, after his conditioning, is already very good at the moment, and there is no need to worry about his life. ”

Emperor Hongzhi's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he slapped his palm on the case, Huo Ran got up and shouted, "Okay!"

After saying hello, his face flushed uncontrollably, and he paced back and forth a few steps around the desk with his hands behind his back, as if it was difficult to express the surging joy.

"Okay!" and said hello twice in a row, then he suddenly froze his body, turned his head to look at Xiao Jing and said, "Xiao Jing, good, you are very good, I am very satisfied." Get up and talk to me about it. Well, I want to listen to the details, every detail. ”

Xiao Jing responded respectfully, then got up and described in detail what happened during the day. After finishing the details, he hesitated slightly before he said: "Your Majesty, according to the old slave's guess, Su Neyan's so-called need for the cooperation of the doctor may not be credible. It's probably just a cover-up, not wanting to be noticeable. ”

Although he decided to befriend Su Mo, that didn't mean he would hide it from the emperor. No matter what Su Mo was thinking, or whether it was really as he guessed, he would give it to the emperor without reservation.

This has nothing to do with good and evil, nor does it have anything to do with morality, it is the duty of a slave of heaven. From beginning to end, Xiao Jing has always adhered to the principles.
