As soon as the hot and stuffy autumn tiger passed, Ma Xiuying was sick again, coughing all the time, and Zhu Wenzheng's matter made her feel depressed, she took a few pills and never got better, she had no energy all day, and she was lazy and sleepy in bed.

Xun Ying was so anxious that she tried her best to make her happy, and wrote to Mrs. Wu to ask for advice on how to relieve her depression.

Mrs. Wu replied that there was no cure for this kind of heart disease, so she could only slowly sort out her mood or use other things to divert the patient's attention.

Xun Ying kept telling Ma Xiuying about Zhu Biao's brothers, from the content of the class to the number of bowls of rice eaten in a day.

Ma Xiuying barely cheered up and listened, her sons are her treasures, and no matter how energetic she is, she can't ignore the condition of her children.

Steward Ding suddenly appeared outside the door and said anxiously: "Princess, Mrs. Wang is no longer good." ”

"Tell someone to prepare the carriage, and I'll go over. Ma Xiuying struggled to get up and instructed Xun Ying, "Bring me the iron pillar and send someone to inform the prince as soon as possible." ”

Xun Ying hesitated: "Your body ......"

"Hurry up!" Ma Xiuying scolded.

Zhu Shouqian was brought, and there were ink stains on his clothes, apparently coming directly from the school. He asked a little nervously, "Where is my uncle and grandmother taking me?"

"Your grandmother misses you, let's go see her. Ma Xiuying took his hand with pity, this child has lost the care of his father and mother, and is about to lose his dearest grandmother.

"Well, I miss my grandmother too. Zhu Shouqian was overjoyed, his face showing joy. Although Ma Xiuying and Zhu Yuanzhang treated him very well, they were not as carefully cared for as Wang as an eyeball, that was the real fear of holding it in the palm of his hand, and he was afraid of melting in his mouth.

Ma Xiuying wanted to speak and stopped, coughed a few times sullenly, and hurried to Zhu Wenzheng's mansion in Yingtianfu with the support of the maid.

Wang was terminally ill, his cheeks were like withered leaves, yellow and dry, without a trace of blood, and his deep-set eyes were misty, like glass beads covered in thick dust. Hearing Ma Xiuying's voice, her eyes rolled weakly a few times, her mouth opened slightly but she couldn't speak.

Ma Xiuying hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her hand, choked up: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will raise Tiezhu to be a person, and the prince also said that he will be knighted in the future." ”

Zhu Shouqian broke free of Xun Ying's hand, threw himself on the side of the bed, and shouted loudly: "Grandmother, grandmother, what's wrong with you? Your grandson has come to see you, get up quickly......"

A room full of people couldn't help but rub their eyes, and some even sobbed lowly.

Although she had long known that the Wang family was not pretending to be the destiny of heaven, Ma Xiuying still couldn't hide her grief in her heart, the death of the Zhu family's room, and the prisoner was left with a childish child to support the lintel. As Zhu Yuanzhang's relative, it is really regrettable that he fell into this situation.

Wang's fingers moved a few times, and there was nothing she could do to touch Zhu Shouqian as usual, she opened her eyes wide and looked behind Zhu Shouqian desperately.

Everyone knew what Wang was waiting for, and she wanted to see Zhu Wenzheng before she died, but this scene would never appear.

Ma Xiuying turned her face sideways and told a white lie, "The prince has forgiven Wen Zheng, the child is on his way, you get better soon, and the family can be united." ”

"Good ......" Wang seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and a good word rolled out of his throat, and he lost his life, and an expression that seemed to be smiling was still fixed on his face.

The servant in the house knelt down and cried out, "Old lady!"

"Grandmother!grandmother!" Zhu Shouqian shouted, feeling bad, but not realizing that the Wang family had left him forever.

Ma Xiuying held back her tears and comforted: "Tie Zhu, your grandmother is tired, so she fell asleep." ”

"Uncle and grandmother, is my grandmother really asleep?" Zhu Shouqian pulled the hem of Ma Xiuying's clothes and asked hurriedly, as if to get reassurance from her.

"Yes, Grandmother is asleep, let's not disturb her. Ma Xiuying was extremely bitter, and led Zhu Shouqian out of the door, and happened to meet Zhu Yuanzhang who came in a hurry.

Tie Zhu stretched out his hand and repeated loudly: "Uncle and grandfather, grandmother is asleep, we can't disturb her." ”

"Asleep?" Zhu Yuanzhang cast his eyes on Ma Xiuying.

Ma Xiuying nodded and shook her head sadly, at this time, the servants should be dressing the Wang family in a shroud, she didn't want Zhu Shouqian to see this scene, so she took him out of the door.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything more, picked up Zhu Shouqian reflexively, and said kindly: "Grandmother can't play with you when she is asleep, but uncle and grandfather can play with you." Whatever the little iron pillar wants, your uncle and grandfather will promise you. ”

Zhu Shouqian lay on his chest and said longingly: "I want my mother and father, I haven't seen them for a long time." Uncle and grandfather, can you get them to come back and see me?"

"This ......" Zhu Yuanzhang paused uncomfortably, not knowing how to answer for a while. Just boasted that Haikou could promise Zhu Shouqian anything, but he immediately broke his promise.

Ma Xiuying glanced at him complainingly, but did not say a word, and deliberately left this problem to him to solve by himself.

At this time, the concubines and children who heard the news of Wang's death almost came, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up, put down Zhu Shouqian, pointed at Zhu Hu and said: "Uncle and grandfather have something to do, your fifth uncle is naughty, you help me watch him, don't let him damage your things." ”

Zhu Shouqian heard that Zhu Hu might damage his family's things, and immediately ran over to guard Zhu Hu, wherever Zhu Hu played, he followed him, and enthusiastically introduced the situation in the house to Zhu Hu, and he also looked like a master.

Zhu Yuanzhang sent a few guards to protect the two children, so he had time to ask Ma Xiuying about the death of the Wang family.

Ma Xiuying finished talking about the situation at that time and sighed: "My sister-in-law has been reading Wenzheng, and I have to lie to her that Wenzheng is coming back." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent.

Zhu Biao stepped forward and asked, "Father, I heard that the eldest aunt has passed away?"

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said: "People are old, no, your aunt went a few years ago, and now your aunt has also gone." Alas, go in and see her one last time, and say goodbye. ”

Zhu Biao replied respectfully: "The child is going now, will Brother Wen Zheng, the funeral of the eldest aunt, come back......

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly changed color, "Hugh has to mention that son! If it weren't for him, your eldest aunt's body would not have been defeated so quickly." ”

Ma Xiuying and Zhu Biao both mentioned Zhu Wenzheng, and Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know where the mother and son wanted to intercede for Zhu Wenzheng and release him. But he has already ordered Zhu Wenzheng to be imprisoned for life, how can he go back on his word? This is not only a matter of a family, but also related to his prestige in the court.

The fury of the thunder shook everyone to look at each other, and they did not dare to make a sound, and the room was so quiet that even the sound of a needle falling to the ground could be heard.

Ma Xiuying's chest was tight and short of breath, she couldn't help coughing, and complained in her heart that Zhu Yuanzhang was in a bad mood and took out her anger on her son.

Zhu Biao hurriedly supported her, "Mother, you go back to the house to rest first, we are here." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang softened his tone and instructed Zhu Biao, "After sending the eldest aunt, I will take your mother back." ”

Ma Xiuying shook her hand, "I still have to arrange my sister-in-law's funeral." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang blurted out, "Don't worry about it, I'll let Guo Hui handle this matter." ”

Ma Xiuying was reluctant to let Guo Hui take power and use the resources of the palace, and said: "Let Concubine Lian go, I heard that the main body of Ningguo County is weak and sick, and it is important for Concubine Hui to accompany the children more." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said to Guo Ninglian: "Sister-in-law's funeral will be handled by you, and she will be buried with her eldest brother." After speaking, he didn't say a few more words to the concubines and children, turned around and left.
