The emperor wants to go out of the city to greet him, and it is not only the Ministry of Rites that is involved.

Xiao rode out in all directions, investigated and controlled suspicious events and candidates in Beijing, and would rather catch mistakes than let them go.

The shadow guards in Beijing were summoned by the shadow thunder, and tomorrow they will appear around Emperor Qinglong in various capacities, and they must not let anyone have a chance to assassinate.

In the Xuanzheng Palace, Emperor Qinglong moved his body under the support of Wu Guangqi.

His body was declining day by day, and even with Su Liangzhi's secret method of applying needles, it was no longer possible to stimulate the potential of his body.

Wu Guangqi felt uncomfortable, but he knew the most important thing for Emperor Qinglong, so he never persuaded him, and only served him with all his heart.

Jiang Bingwei's recovery is much better than that of Emperor Qinglong. She is younger than him, and although she has lived a hard life over the years, she has not spent much effort, and she is not as overdrawn as Emperor Qinglong.

The poison has been solved, and all that remains is to recuperate. Su Liangzhi concluded that in less than two years at most, the residual poison on Jiang Bingwei's body could be cleaned up.

I have to say that some people are the darlings of God. This poisoning did not leave too many traces on Jiang Bingwei's body. Her eyebrows and eyes still look as clear as distant mountains.

After this catastrophe, the resentment of these years faded from her eyes. It seems that he has a more sparse look than when he first returned to the palace, and his demeanor is much softer.

Since she stayed in the palace and planned to accompany Emperor Qinglong to pass, she no longer regarded herself as a dust-breaking layman. Changed out of the gray monk's robe, wore a light-colored palace robe, and his hair was simply pulled up and fixed with a hosta.

From her body, there is a kind of indifferent temperament.

Knowing that Emperor Qinglong's lifespan is limited, in Jiang Bingwei's heart, the power and wealth she used to care about have become floating clouds. The Buddhist scriptures she disdained now became the sustenance of her spirit.

In the palace, every morning and evening, she insisted on doing morning and evening classes. Only she knew that she was praying for Emperor Qinglong.

Pray that he will be able to do everything he wants, and that after his death he will return to the Pure Land of Western Bliss.

"Lang Jun," Jiang Bingwei walked out from behind, stepped forward and grabbed the other arm of Emperor Qinglong, and said, "Tomorrow when you go out of the city to work, you can take care." ”

Now, between her and Emperor Qinglong, she only uses the old name, just like ordinary people.

A smile appeared on Emperor Qinglong's face and said, "Don't worry, my body won't be able to die for a while." ”

Jiang Bingwei knew that he had something to do, and he no longer persuaded him, but only asked Wu Guangqi: "Do you have a doctor to accompany you?"

"Yes, Zhao Yuan's envoy, Imperial Doctor Hu, and Su Juma will follow. Please rest assured. ”

Wu Guangqi is an old man who served Emperor Qinglong, and he knows very well the relationship between the two of them.

Wu Guangqi is extremely grateful that Jiang Bingwei can let go of her resentment and accompany Emperor Qinglong to spend her last days wholeheartedly. The attitude towards her is also very respectful.

Emperor Qinglong's time is short, and he is worried about national affairs. Jiang Bingwei can forgive him and accompany him through the last road, which is the best ending for him.

The Xuanzheng Hall is very large, and after walking two laps, Emperor Qinglong was so tired that he sat down and gasped for breath.

He sat down and smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "Sure enough, it's old." Back then, I didn't feel tired when I ran ten miles with you. ”

Speaking of the past, Jiang Bingwei's face also showed a look of reminiscence, and she smiled and said: "After so many years, it's hard for Langjun to remember." ”

"How can you not remember?" Emperor Qinglong raised his eyebrows, and Jiang Bingwei seemed to see the high-spirited young man again.

Wu Guangqi quietly took two steps back and let his apprentice Xiao Quanzi step forward to wait. Tomorrow, Emperor Qinglong will go out of the city to greet him, and he, the chief manager, has many things waiting for him to arrange them one by one.

In the Yurong Palace.

Concubine Shi De leaned on the chaise longue with a blank face. The palace man behind him bowed slightly, standing quietly on the side.

"Duchess An Guo has arrived!"

"Xuan. Concubine Shi Defei's voice did not carry any emotional temperature.

Mrs. Zhuang came in behind the chamberlain, and Concubine Shi De was now the eldest sister of An Guogong. The Anguo Mansion made a mistake back then, did not support the crown prince of the year, and chose to side with the king of Ruyang.

After Emperor Qinglong ascended the throne, the Shi family paid a heavy price. Lao An Guogong committed suicide by taking poison and took all the blame for the crime. and sent Concubine Shi De into the palace before she died, and she was called a concubine, but she was actually a hostage.

If it weren't for that, how could Emperor Qinglong allow the Anguo Mansion to continue to exist?

Concubine Shi De's life, from the day she entered the palace, was ruined.

With the betrayal of the Anguo Mansion first, how could Emperor Qinglong have any good face for her. In view of the fact that Lao An Guogong committed suicide to apologize, and when he first ascended the throne, he needed to appease the ministers, so he made her one of the four concubines.

Concubine De, this beautiful title, only she knows the true meaning of it. Emperor Qinglong was reminding her not to forget her virtue from time to time, and not to forget the kindness of the Duke of Anguo that he would no longer pursue it.

An Guogong is both respectful and ashamed of this eldest sister, over the years, there has been a step-by-step visit, and there has always been a layer between the two, and they can no longer find the sister-brother friendship of the year.

Mrs. Zhuang also knew that she was having a hard time in the palace, so she never bothered her with the affairs of the house. I'd rather go through Xu Wanzhen to follow the path of Empress Dowager Xiao than make trouble for her.

At this time, it is not a New Year's Day, what is she doing when she declares herself to enter the palace?

After seeing the ceremony, Mrs. Zhuang sat down cautiously. She really couldn't understand the purpose of letting her enter the palace, so she waited for the order.

Concubine Shi De waved her hand, and the maids who were waiting in the palace came out. In a few breaths, only the two of them remained.

"Are you thinking about the purpose of letting you enter the palace?" Concubine Shi De was the first to speak, and immediately spoke to Mrs. Zhuang's heart.

Mrs. Zhuang said with a smile: "I haven't seen my eldest sister for a long time, and my brother-in-law is also very worried about it. ”

A sneering smile appeared on Concubine Shi De's face, and she said, "There is no need to say these kind words. I have called you today to discuss important matters. Come to me. ”

Mrs. Zhuang's heart tightened, and she stood up and walked to Concubine Shi De.

Concubine Shi De leaned into her ear and whispered, "The body of the saint may only last next year." ”

"What?!"

Mrs. Zhuang was startled and staggered backwards. But she is also a person who has seen the world, and after a moment of contemplation in her hand, she remembers a little unreasonable clues.

The prince was suddenly deposed, and this time he used Guan Jinghuan's case to uproot the prince's power. None of this happens for no reason.

Could it be that the prince did something rebellious?

Mrs. Zhuang looked at Concubine Shi De in shock, only to see Concubine Shi Defei nodding slowly, confirming the guess in her heart.

Concubine Shi De is in the palace, even if she is not valued by Emperor Qinglong, she is also one of the four concubines. With the support of the Anguo Mansion, there is no shortage of money in her hands, and over the years, she has also managed her own eyeliner force.
