In Jingyang Palace, Guo Hui sneered at Guo Xia with a note, "Ma Xiuying wants to deal with this palace, hmph, she can't protect herself, and this palace depends on how she deals with this palace." ”

"No matter what, she is always the queen, and the mother must be guarded against. Guo Xia cautiously reminded that she already knew that the person who reported to Guo Hui was Bai Ling, and she was surprised that Guo Hui could buy Ma Xiuying's henchman palace maid, but she was worried that Bai Ling's words were true. It would be bad if Ma Xiuying really wanted to deal with Guo Hui, after all, it was Guo Hui who escaped punishment last time when she was pregnant.

Guo Hui thought about it and asked Guo Xia to call the palace maid Ping'er.

Guo Xia couldn't hide her jealousy and sourness, Ping'er was originally a palace maid who served Li Meiren, but for some reason she fell into Guo Hui's eyes and was left to serve by her side, and even sometimes Guo Hui only let Ping'er accompany her, and this trend is faintly surpassing her status as the first confidant. She found Ping'er and said in an unkind tone: "Niangniang asked you to see her, hum, you are now a celebrity next to Niangniang." ”

"Sister Xia said with a smile, you have worked hard and served by Niangniang's side for many years, and Niangniang trusts only you the most, and Ping'er also respects you very much and is willing to obey your dispatch at any time. Ping'er smiled flatteringly and quietly gave Guo Xia a silver ticket.

Guo Xia's face only improved slightly, but unfortunately when she entered the inner room, Guo Hui was the only one left in Ping'er, her good mood suddenly disappeared, she glared at Ping'er angrily, and reluctantly retreated.

Guo Hui looked at Ping'er for a while and asked, "Are you still unwilling to tell the master behind you in this palace?"

Ping'er replied respectfully: "The master said that the time has come, and the mother will naturally know who the master is." The host also said, please rest assured, he absolutely supports you, and he will try his best to meet any requirements of Niangniang. ”

"Hmph!" Guo Hui snorted dissatisfiedly, eager to give Ping'er a slap, and a little palace maid dared to take Qiao in front of her. But thinking of the useful news that Ping'er brought her these few times, she let go of her fist, smashed the paper ball on Ping'er, and said stupidly: "Since your master's tone is so big, is there a way for him to let the emperor come to Jingyang Palace more during this time, and the palace is worried that Ma Xiuying will be unfavorable to the palace." ”

Ping'er spread out the paper ball and read the contents, and said, "The slave will go and tell the master." ”

Guo Hui's eyes widened, half-convinced, except for Zhu Yuanzhang's own selection, the matter of serving the bed was generally arranged by Ma Xiuying or Sun, Ping'er's master really has that much ability?

In the evening, Zhu Yuanzhang really came to Jingyang Palace. When he came out of the Fengtian Palace, Zhao Cheng asked softly, "Is the emperor going to see the eleventh prince and the princess of Ningguo?"

Guo Hui was shocked that Ping'er's master's power was unfathomable, and even Zhu Yuanzhang could say that she could move, so she hurriedly greeted her with a smile and asked people to bring Zhu Tan and Ning Guo out.

Ning Guo was restrained and happy when he saw Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang talked to her pleasantly, and then went to see Zhu Tan, the eleventh prince who had not paid much attention since he was born.

In the end, it was his own child, the strange feeling was quickly replaced by a strong blood and family affection, Zhu Yuanzhang hugged Zhu Tan and was amused.

Zhu Tan did not have Zhu Yuanzhang in his impression, so he naturally had to hide back.

Guo Hui scolded: "This is your father, don't call him father yet." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Tan'er is still young, take your time." ”

"Other children are as old as him can call their father, but this child has hardly ever seen you or recognized you. Guo Hui said very sadly, and tears flowed from his eyes.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt uncomfortable, after Guo Hui was grounded, he did rarely come to Jingyang Palace, he took Guo Hui's hand and said softly: "I will often come to see Tan'er in the future." ”

Guo Hui burst into tears and smiled, and snuggled into Zhu Yuanzhang's arms, "I hope the emperor will do what he says." ”

Seeing this, the palace people hurriedly took Zhu Tan and Ning Guo down.

Guo Huimei's eyes were like silk, and her breath was like an orchid, "Your Majesty, the concubine hasn't seen you for a long time, and the concubine misses you very much......" She said while gently teasing Zhu Yuanzhang with her fingers.

Zhu Yuanzhang understood, picked her up and went into the inner room, and slowly took off her clothes......

In the sudden wind and rain, Guo Hui closed her eyes proudly, as long as she regained Zhu Yuanzhang's favor, what could Ma Xiuying do to her?

In the middle of the night, Ma Xiuying fell ill without warning, at first she just kept coughing, and then she coughed up a ball of blood, which frightened Xunying and hurriedly went to the imperial doctor and notified Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Guo Hui were sleeping in each other's arms, and when they heard that Ma Xiuying was sick, they quickly got up.

Guo Hui helped him loosen his clothes and said worriedly: "Why did the queen suddenly get sick, isn't she angry and broken because of the recent incident?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's face sank, the recent incident was nothing more than Shen Wansan's matter, Ma Xiuying didn't care about his body for an outsider, he even suspected that Ma Xiuying was deliberately pretending to be sick and wanted to intercede for Shen Wansan.

Guo Hui said again: "It is estimated that the queen heard the news of the emperor's disposal of Shen Wansan, so she is a little uncomfortable. If she offends the emperor with her words, the emperor must not worry about her, the queen is that kind of person, the most righteous, and can stick a knife in both sides for her friends. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang became more and more unhappy, Ma Xiuying could stick a knife in both sides for her friend, so she didn't think about her husband? The treasury is so empty, he didn't seize Shen Wansan's wealth to improve this poor country, and how can a flat-headed ordinary man have assets richer than the emperor, this in itself is Shen Wansan's contempt for imperial power, and he didn't execute Shen Wansan on the spot.

Zhu Yuanzhang appeared in Kunning Palace with dissatisfaction, and when he was still in the outer room, he heard Ma Xiuying's heart-rending cough, he frowned and came to the bedside, and saw Xun Ying wiping the blood on Ma Xiuying's mouth, just wiped it clean, accompanied by a burst of coughing and wheezing, and blood flowed out along the saliva.

At this moment, the dissatisfaction and resentment in his heart were all gone, and he rushed to Ma Xiuying in two steps, and shouted nervously: "Empress!

Ma Xiuying opened her mouth and was about to speak, when she coughed violently again.

"Stop talking, rest and rest. Zhu Yuanzhang comforted Ma Xiuying and anxiously asked the imperial doctor, "Why is the queen's condition so serious?"

The imperial doctor trembled, knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "The queen mother, this is a blood stasis cough." The queen mother is often congested in the chest, resulting in the blockage of qi and blood, the lungs are full, and the phlegm and blood stasis hinder the normal breathing of the queen mother, so she is short of breath when she moves. If you cough violently, you will cough up blood in your lungs......"

Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted the Tai Doctor's babbling explanation, "This disease can be cured?"

"Because the blood stasis in the queen's chest has accumulated over the years, it must also be recuperated for a long time, and the most important thing is that the queen cannot regain qi, otherwise the condition will become more and more aggravated. The imperial doctor looked at Ma Xiuying on the bed uneasily, and he persuaded Ma Xiuying to relax during the day, but as a result, the stasis in Ma Xiuying's chest increased, and he didn't know what could make Ma Xiuying angry like this.

Can Zhu Yuanzhang tell the imperial doctor that Ma Xiuying is because he is angry? He yelled angrily: "No matter what, we must cure the queen as soon as possible." ”
