Chapter Eighty-Nine: Waking Up from a Dream

Li Hui stood quietly in the corner, motionless and staring at the bed that was full of people not far away.

The frightened and hurried palace people, the anxious and nervous imperial doctors who were drenched in cold sweat, and the family members who were sad and worried, tearful and low-pitched. The figures of □□ were constantly shaking in front of them, coming and going, going and coming. Someone seemed to try to talk to him, but he couldn't hear anything. It was clear that all the scenes were close at hand, but it seemed to be far away from him, like a silent acrobatic play—a miscellaneous show that he alone watched.

Many years ago, he also had this experience of separating the world from himself, and he was unconscious. Grandpa died, and his brother left Junzhou with A-Niang, leaving him alone. For a long time, he couldn't accept this reality, and the marriage that he hated made him more and more depressed.

However, this is no longer the case. He is no longer the young man who can't stand being lonely, and he is no longer a stupid person who is only immersed in his own love, but Li Hui, the king of Xin'an County, who is determined to protect his family. He just woke up from a wonderful dream created by his grandfather; He just needs to wake up from the confusion brought about by the illusion of family harmony; He just needs to force himself to adapt and deal with the coming treacherous waves immediately.

Yes, he was sorry - this wonderful dream was too short, and the carefree days brought to him by his loving grandparents were too short. From the bottom of his heart, he prayed that this dream would last longer, and that his grandmother and grandfather would live a long life, but it still backfired. Perhaps, this is the destiny that cannot be disobeyed.

From now on, he must no longer indulge himself. No one will spoil him and protect him without a bottom line, and he has the ability to indulge him. Although he is the son of King Pu, his future is destined to be impossible. But he is still very grateful that he is the continuation of his grandfather and grandmother's bloodline, and he can still support his healthy and carefree grandfather and aunt in the future.

Greed is not enough to swallow an elephant, and in this year, he has received a qiē that far exceeds that of more than twenty years in his previous life. Best friends, grandmothers, grandfathers, cousins, cousins, cousins...... He should be satisfied. He also needs to return to reality as much as possible and be more prepared for the future of King Pu.

Although he couldn't think about it more clearly, Li Hui's heart still uncontrollably welled up with deep grief. Reason told him that the most important thing he should do was to cry out loud, tell the prince's uncle about his grandfather's fall, and win more sympathy and distress in front of the prince's uncle. However, the tumbling emotions in his heart made him unable to say anything, unable to do anything—he really couldn't do it, and pretended in front of his seriously ill grandfather.

"Brother!" The red-eyed county lord of Changning walked over gently, clutching the corner of his sleeve tightly, "Brother...... Grandfather must be fine, right? Woo woo, grandmother is gone, is it possible that grandfather will also leave? No, I want my grandfather to live a long life!! Grandfather can't go! Grandfather can't leave us! I can't bear him!! As she spoke, she couldn't help but cry, her eyes full of fear and anxiety, as if the scene had reappeared half a year ago.

"......" Li Hui opened his mouth, wanting to comfort her, but before she could say anything, tears had already burst out of her eyes. He wanted to wipe away his tears a little wolfly, but the more he wiped them, he could only choke up and say, "Grandfather will be fine, don't worry." Grandmother...... Grandmother has a spirit in the ground, and she will definitely bless her grandfather. Yue Niang, we're going to incense our grandmother now. ”

The county lord of Changning was slightly stunned and nodded vigorously. Li Hui led her to the outer mourning hall and respectfully offered incense to Queen Qin. Because when the saint fell, he was a little flustered, and accidentally tore off a white hanging tent, revealing a corner of Empress Qin's coffin - now that the army is in chaos, no one can care about replacing it for a while, and it looks more desolate.

So, he stepped forward and pulled the hanging tent next to him, trying to cover the coffin, and the county lord of Changning also helped. As soon as the two of them stood in the tent, they heard the voice of Princess Anxing outside. There was no one in front of the mourning hall, and her voice was very low, but the two people behind the tent could still hear it very clearly.

"Heh, Grandpa has read everyone's name, but there is no ...... If my brother is still alive...... Who will forget him? This noble lord was dressed in green clothes, and looked coldly at the spiritual position of Empress Qin, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be hooked as sarcasm. This kind of disrespectful attitude towards the deceased mother-in-law made Li Hui and the county lord of Changning look awe-inspired, and they invariably showed disgust and vigilance.

Beside her, Concubine Yang De, who was wearing plain clothes, was silent for a long time, and said: "You still remember him, you still remember him for your mother, and you will never forget him." "She was very well maintained, looking at about forty people, fair and smooth complexion, and her bearing was quite outstanding, and her gestures were like the most perfect woman of the family. Even if she is dressed very simply, she can't hide her appearance, which is enough to make people understand why the Huai King and Princess Anxing she gave birth to are quite favored by the emperor.

"Really?" Princess Anxing snorted with a smile, lowered her eyes, and walked out slowly. Concubine Yang seemed to want to call her, but after hesitating, she just looked at her back in a daze, and then turned around and returned to the inner room. And Princess Anxing actually didn't go far, and went around to the side hall.

Li Hui lowered his eyes and pondered carefully, and always felt that there was a deep meaning in Fang Cai's words. However, he didn't have time to think about it, so he listened to the county lord of Changning: "Li Qianniang came in crying all the way in with a fake cry, and when she saw her grandfather, she fell to the ground softly and was also carried to the side hall. Aunt An Xing was so disrespectful to her grandmother, she couldn't say that they would speak ill of her grandfather and grandmother behind their backs. No, brother, I'll have to take a look. Before the words fell, the little guy called the two palace maids, excused himself to change his clothes, and left in a hurry.

Li Hui wanted to stop her, but he couldn't call her after she brought out the excuse of changing clothes, so he had to go back to the inner room to find the crown princess Du. Only when the Du clan arranges people to protect the county lord of Changning can they be above board enough. It was the little guy who accidentally taught Princess Anxing and Li Qianniang to find out, and they didn't dare to do anything.

In today's inner room, Concubine Wang Xian, Concubine Yang De, and Concubine Yan Shu are all hiding behind the screen, and they are almost crying with pear blossoms and rain. Wang and Yan were supporting Du Shi to stand on the side of the sickbed, anxiously watching the Taiyi acupuncture; Li Kun, Li Heng and Li Tai knelt in front of the couch, nervous and weeping; Princess Qinghe sat on the edge of the couch, holding the saint's hand tightly, and her whole body seemed to tremble; Princess Linchuan is ordering her attendants to summon all her grandchildren into the palace-

At this moment, except for Li Hui and the county lord of Changning, Li Qianniang who stayed in the palace for some reason, and the two grandsons of the East Palace, the rest of the people have already left the palace. Li Xin returned to King Pu's Mansion and would soon be able to enter the palace; And Li Wei and Li Jing brothers went to watch the lanterns, it may be more difficult to find, so they have to call everyone else in Yue Wangfu first. As for the grandsons and granddaughters, they naturally had to come quickly to serve the sick.

"Ah Hui." Yan Shi saw that his son, who had been stunned in the corner, came to his senses, and the worry in his heart was also reduced a little, "Good boy, go and accompany your grandfather, just now he called your name......"

"The child understands." Li Hui's mood was even heavier, and he whispered to Du Shi: "Uncle, send a few more people to call Yue Niang in, grandfather can't say that he is also thinking of her." Just now, when the two of us were offering incense to my grandmother, she seemed to see something, so she rushed out, and could not stop her. There are so many irrelevant people around him that it is naturally inconvenient for him to speak out.

Du Shi has been pregnant for seven months, and has been standing with her stomach upright for a long time, already a little shaky. Hearing this, she couldn't take care of herself for a while, so she immediately ordered the palace maid to go out, and said softly: "Ah Hui was frightened, right? It's okay, we all know that Ah Weng's illness has nothing to do with you, and you don't have to blame yourself. Go, go to the couch to accompany Ah Weng, he must be happy in his heart. ”

Li Hui also came to the sickbed and knelt down, looking at the white-haired old grandfather, and suddenly felt sad. Xu heard the crying of his children and grandchildren, and the saint vaguely called out their names. Whoever is called, he answers. Li Kun, Li Tai and Li Heng agreed the most, followed by Princess Qinghe, Princess Anxing and Princess Linchuan, and then Li Hui, Lord Changning and other grandchildren.

After a while, the sage evoked Empress Qin, Li Song, and Li Ju again, but no one could respond. His face seemed to reveal disappointment, Li Hui looked distressed, and whispered to Li Kun: "Uncle should go down, so that my grandfather can rest assured." He just wanted to agree, and he couldn't do it without permission.

Li Kun looked at him with red eyes, took him into his arms and patted him gently, which was regarded as accepting his advice. Sure enough, after that, every call of the saint was answered, and his expression seemed to be much calmer. And after several rounds of injections by the imperial doctor, he gradually calmed down, and closed his eyes as if he had fallen asleep.

At this time, Li Xin and the others finally came, and the Zhou family even came over with Xiao Shouniang. She was both a granddaughter-in-law and a granddaughter, and she had always admired the saint, and of course she did not want to sit in the delivery room anymore. Moreover, if you talk about it carefully, she is already about to come out of the moon, and it should not matter whether it is physical or taboo customs.

"Your Highness, the saint's head wind has attacked, and it is already in the form of wind evil. Although they are sleeping peacefully, whether they can wake up or not, the ministers dare not guarantee. If you apply needles every day, you can't say ...... I can't say that I can be more awake, but the body paralysis is difficult to relieve. Ministers...... Done the best we can. Several imperial doctors knelt down in front of Li Kun and pleaded guilty.

Li Kun looked down at them, and there was still a little choked in his voice: "No matter what, you must do your best to save Grandpa." Grandpa is the son of heaven, and the will of heaven will never treat him lightly!! He was also reluctant to leave behind the Tang Dynasty, the thousands of Li people, and our brothers and sisters......"

"Yes, the ministers obey!"

Because the saint needed to recuperate, the crown princess Du invited Concubine Wang Xian, Concubine Yang De and Concubine Yan Shu to return to the palace to rest, and ordered someone to relocate another side hall of the Lizheng Palace for the royal people to rest temporarily. The Wang family, the Yan family and the others just withdrew from the inner room and came to the mourning hall of Empress Qin to wait quietly, and did not dare to take a rest seriously. As for Li Tai and Li Heng, they had already been helped out by the palace people due to excessive grief, and only Li Kun and Princess Qinghe remained in the inner room to serve the sick. Li Xin and Li Wei replaced their own grandfather and were busy greeting King Jing, King Peng, King Lu and other clan elders.

Because the atmosphere was too somber, the county lord of Changning and Li Jing couldn't help but lean on Li Hui's side. The three of them sat silently in the corner, the county lord of Changning was still sad and frightened, and Li Jing was sad with guilt. Li Hui knew that he was regretting that he was only playing naughty tonight and did not accompany his grandfather well - however, he has always been a young man's heart, thinking that it is understandable that the Shangyuan Festival is lively, but he never thought that the old man would be accompanied by one day less.

"Ah Hui, Ah Jing, come here." The Wang clan and the Yan clan seemed to have discussed something, and suddenly they were two of them.

Li Hui and Li Jing sat down close and were held by their respective aunts. I heard Yan Shi say softly: "Sister-in-law and I have thought about it carefully, and Ah Weng has never been able to let go of the lifelong affairs of the two of you in his heart. It's better to take advantage of the present time to quickly set your marriage, so as to teach Ah Weng to feel at ease. And if he is happy, he can't say that his condition will get better......"

Hearing this, Li Hui and Li Jing were stunned.
