Ma Xiuying walked into the imperial study, compared to the bright sunlight outside, the windows and doors in the hall were closed, it was dim, and there was no one serving in the palace, only broken porcelain and rotten paper all over the ground. Ma Xiuying bypassed these broken porcelain and rotten papers, and walked quickly to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang's whole body strength seemed to be drained, he leaned on the back of the chair tiredly, his eyes were open, but he was as blank as the eyes of a dead fish, and he didn't speak when he saw Ma Xiuying coming. A few pieces of crumpled paper were thrown in a mess, and a blank piece of paper was scribbled on: "I have a thousand lines of pig iron juice, and I don't cry for my children in my life." Suddenly, I heard that yesterday was often public, and tears were sprinkled with wet grass and trees. ”

Ma Xiuying noticed that there were still a few tears on Zhu Yuanzhang's face, and she felt a pain in her heart, and persuaded softly: "Your Majesty, vent your sadness, don't suffocate yourself." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes moved, a smile that was more ugly than crying opened, and he said in a dumb voice: "Queen, you are here." ”

Ma Xiuying stepped forward and comforted her in the softest voice as much as possible: "Your Majesty, please mourn and change." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang trembled, "I don't want to mourn, I don't want to die in spring, he still wants to send his daughter to marry." When he went on the expedition, I smiled and said that I came back to celebrate his achievements, who would have thought that this farewell would be separated forever......"

"Your Majesty!" Ma Xiuying burst into tears, "The concubine knows that you feel uncomfortable, but you have to take care of your dragon body, and I believe that the spirit of the Duke of Eguo in the sky does not want to see the emperor sad for him too much." ”

She can understand the grief in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart. Chang Yuchun has an upright personality and no scheming, and he has always said something in front of Zhu Yuanzhang. Moreover, he fought bravely, never shirked when encountering problems, and made countless contributions since he defected to Zhu Yuanzhang in the southern and northern wars. Zhu Yuanzhang likes such an obedient and loyal courtier the most, and regards him as a henchman among his henchmen, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is his right-hand man. Now that the most loyal courtier has died of illness, Zhu Yuanzhang is really more uncomfortable than having a broken arm.

Zhu Yuanzhang said to himself: "Before the Northern Expedition, I reminded him that as a general, he would take care of the corner with the small school, and he definitely didn't put my words in his heart. This damn bastard doesn't know how to take good care of himself, and I'm going to punish him......"

Ma Xiuying had to interrupt his hysteria loudly, "Your Majesty, the Duke of Eguo has gone." ”

"Poof!" Zhu Yuanzhang sprayed a mouthful of blood on the dragon robe, and the whole person fainted.

"Your Majesty!" Ma Xiuying's scream penetrated the door panel of the imperial study, "Zhao Cheng quickly pass on the imperial doctor!" ”

Zhu Biao and Zhao Cheng hurriedly rushed in, the two shouted a few times, seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang had no reaction, Zhao Cheng's face changed drastically, and he ran away quickly, and after a while, the imperial doctors in the palace rushed to the imperial study.

Everyone carefully lifted Zhu Yuanzhang to the soft couch, and Zhu Biao and Ma Xiuying stayed by the couch without leaving.

Looking at the unconscious Zhu Yuanzhang, Ma Xiuying suddenly found that this strong man was also old, his temples were black and white, his skin was furrowed, and his hands and feet looked so fragile when he rested weakly on the couch. She held Zhu Yuanzhang's calloused hands and muttered a prayer: "Wake up quickly, my child and I can't live without you." ”

Xu heard Ma Xiuying's prayer, Zhu Yuanzhang's throat slidied, and his eyes slowly opened.

"Wake up, wake up, the emperor is awake!" The Imperial Physician shouted excitedly, with the excitement of the rest of his life on his face.

"Father! Erchen is so afraid! Zhu Biao knelt on the edge of the couch, crying silently.

"I'm ......" Zhu Yuanzhang motioned for everyone to get up, struggling to sit up.

Ma Xiuying hurriedly put a pillow on his back, crying with joy, "The imperial doctor said that you were very angry, and you were angry for a while. ”

Zhao Cheng brought a bowl of soup and medicine, Ma Xiuying took it, took a sip, the temperature was suitable, and then handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth.

Zhu Yuanzhang was drinking medicine, and the chamberlain told Concubine Hui, Concubine Ning and other concubines and several princes to ask to see him.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, "I'm fine, let them go back, especially Concubine Hui, don't run around with a big belly." The officials of the province and the six ministries came to see me, and I wanted to make proper arrangements for the funeral and funeral of the Duke of Eguo. ”

Ma Xiuying persuaded: "You can rest for a while." ”

"When I think of Eguogong, I am not in the mood to rest." Zhu Yuanzhang insisted on summoning the minister.

"The concubine body avoided it first, please take care of the dragon body, don't overwork. The concubine will come to visit the emperor later. Seeing that persuasion was ineffective, Ma Xiuying stood up and sighed, and asked Zhu Biao to take care of Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang closed his eyes and waved his hand, and Ma Xiuying and the imperial doctors all retired.

Out of the imperial study, Ma Xiuying saw that the concubines and several princes were still standing at the foot of the steps, all looking forward to it, with a worried or sad look in their eyes. She stepped forward and said, "The emperor has woken up, all the concubines and princes should go back first, and the minister will come to see the emperor in a while." ”

Everyone asked for peace, Guo Ninglian hugged the child and asked eagerly: "Is there anyone around the emperor to serve?" ”

She had just come out of confinement and was happy that she had given birth to a son, and she was stupid when she learned that Zhu Yuanzhang had an accident, her son was so young, if she lost her father, what would the mother do? This will hear that Zhu Yuanzhang woke up, and his heart slowly returned to normal.

"The prince is in it to accompany the emperor to participate in politics." Ma Xiuying looked at Zhu Tan in swaddling clothes, and said: "The tenth prince is so small, it's not good to see the wind, you take him back quickly, if there is anything, the palace will let people inform you." ”

Guo Ninglian really couldn't rest assured of her child, and immediately bowed down and said, "Since this is the case, the concubine will retire first." ”

Concubine Cheng Mu followed and said: "It's inconvenient for us women to stay in the imperial study, let's all go back." ”

As soon as she opened her mouth, the other concubines and princes naturally wouldn't stay longer, and they all bowed and left.

Guo Hui straightened his stomach, and said with a smile: "The concubine is inconvenient and can't salute the queen, please forgive the queen." ”

She was about to give birth, her belly was as big as a ball, and like Guo Ninglian, she was also worried that her child would have an accident before Zhu Yuanzhang was born, so despite the dissuasion of the palace people, she had to come to the imperial study to visit Zhu Yuanzhang in person. This will be blocked by Ma Xiuying, she has a fire in her heart and can't have a seizure, so she deliberately stabs Ma Xiuying with words.

Ma Xiuying mockingly hooked the corners of her mouth, "This palace has long said that as long as the concubine is pregnant, she can be exempted, and Concubine Hui should be treated equally." However, just now the emperor mentioned in the imperial study, 'Especially Concubine Hui, don't run around with a big belly', Concubine Hui will have to remember it in the future. ”

A few concubines who hadn't left suddenly laughed, the concubines who could come to the imperial study were all of high grade, and their status was not much worse than Guo Hui's, and they didn't care about Guo Hui's face and mood.

Guo Hui was so angry that her face was flushed, and she scolded Li Meiren for helping her on her shoulders, and left in a hurry without looking back.

Li Meiren frequently looked back at the majestic palace, she was not qualified to walk freely in the palace, this time she was able to come to the imperial study with Guo Hui's momentum, but unfortunately she still couldn't see Zhu Yuanzhang.

Ma Xiuying was not in the mood to measure the thoughts of these concubines, so she sent away the concubines, and she slowly left the imperial study, and happened to meet Liu Ji, Li Shanchang and others who came to Feng Zhao on the way. 10
