Chapter 365: The Remains
Liu Ruoxi's tone was calm, and she couldn't find fault with what she said. Su Shi didn't pay attention to it because of this, and only praised Su Qingnuan for being good, and at the same time secretly felt in his heart that although Liu Ruoxi was not good, her recent performance was okay. No matter what Liu Ruoxi thinks, this can always make everyone get by on the surface.
Su Shi ate a few bites of bird's nest and put the bowl down. Although Su Qingnuan was comforted from time to time, the old prince's situation, Su still didn't know how to eat. Everyone persuaded Su Shi to rest, but Su just refused.
And they had no choice but to give up. Although I don't say it, everyone understands it in their hearts. This night will be a crucial night for the old prince and the entire Yongjing Palace. The old prince may wake up. And if the old prince doesn't wake up this night, then everyone will have to face the situation that the palace is suddenly out of the top of the pillars.
Everyone stayed in front of the old prince's bed, although they were exhausted, but everyone tried to cheer up and refused to let go of any little change in the old prince on the couch.
"Father's hand, it seems to have moved just now......," Rong Chenghan said suddenly.
To say that his eyes are good and his physical strength is good, there is no one in this room who is stronger than Rong Chenghan. Therefore, it was Rong Chenghan who first discovered that the old prince had signs of awakening.
When everyone listened to Rong Chenghan's words, they couldn't help but be surprised and delighted, and at the same time they couldn't believe it. Until everyone saw it, the old prince's hand under the quilt did move lightly again.
The old prince not only did it move, but the eyeballs under his eyelids also turned slightly.
"Hurry up and ask for a doctor!" I don't know who said this, but immediately someone went to the next room and called the imperial doctor who was waiting there.
The imperial physician came over and immediately diagnosed the old prince's pulse, but this time, the imperial doctors did not use medicine, but an old imperial physician who was proficient in acupuncture and moxibustion gave the old prince an injection. The old prince's mouth let out a soft moan/moan.
The imperial doctors all retreated, and Su, Rong Chengyi, Rong Chenghan and others hurriedly gathered in front of the old prince's bed.
"Lord Wang......" Su Shi shouted.
"Father ......" This is Rong Chengyi, Rong Chenghan and Rong Chengxiang.
Su Qingnuan hadn't left at this time, and when she saw that the old prince had signs of awakening. Su Qingnuan simply stayed by the old prince's side. At this moment, the attention of the people in the room was on the old prince, and they didn't care very much about Su Qingnuan's stay or stay.
The old prince groaned softly again, and only then opened his eyes slowly, apparently with great difficulty.
The old prince opened his eyes, and everyone, including Liu Ruoxi, was full of joy in their hearts. Everyone moved a little closer to the old prince.
Although the old prince opened his eyes, his eyes were no longer bright at this moment. Seeing him slowly look around in front of everyone, his eyes did not see a trace of clarity.
Liu Ruoxi's heart sank again. At this moment, is the old prince still sober? Does he still recognize these people in front of him? These are his family, his blood, the people closest to him.
"Oh......" the old prince muttered. While slowly raising your hand.
"Father...... "Everyone doesn't understand what the old prince means. The old prince's hand was not pointed at anyone, but at the soles of his feet.
Everyone didn't understand, but the people who served the old prince did.
"What the prince wants, isn't this it?" A little servant took out a brocade box from the old prince's feet. The little servant held the brocade box in front of the old prince, and opened the brocade box to the old prince.
"Hmm." The old prince nodded with some difficulty.
Rong Chenghan was standing next to him, he glanced at the brocade box, and he immediately understood. In the brocade box, there is a written notebook.
It's almost conventional, and the ministers of the court know that their fate is not long in coming. will prepare the last piece of the fold. This kind of twist is often referred to as a posthumous fold. Generally, after the death of the old minister, it is handed over by the family. Some old ministers will send someone to hand over the fold when they are dying, when they finally retain a trace of sobriety.
There was still a faint scent of ink on the folds in the brocade box, which was the kind that Rong Chenghan smelled in the old prince's house when he came over last night.
This letter is a fold. It was just prepared by the old prince yesterday. Obviously, the old prince had foreseen that he might not get better, so he was ready to play a twist.
Rong Chengyi and Rong Chenghan stood side by side, Rong Chenghan could see it. He saw it too. Unlike Rong Chenghan, Rong Chengyi also knew that the old prince had always been prepared to leave a legacy. The old prince has been fighting horses all his life. Always ready to sacrifice his life for the country, so he has made complete preparations for a long time.
Speaking of which, even if the old prince is suddenly gone now, there is no need to prepare a new one. But the old prince is still ready.
That is to say, the old prince himself abolished the previous folds.
So what will happen in this new fold? After all, if there is no change, the old prince's current spirit will not bother to prepare for the twist and turn.
"......," the old prince said something vaguely, gesturing with difficulty.
"Father wants to send the music into the palace now?" Rong Chenghan asked.
When the old prince heard Rong Chenghan speak, he turned his head slightly to look at Rong Chenghan, and then nodded his chin.
Obviously, this is exactly what the old prince meant.
The brocade box containing the fold was not locked, and the fold was not sealed. The old prince seemed to mean that he didn't mind that his sons knew the content of the folds.
Rong Chenghan took the brocade box from the little girl's hand, turned around and solemnly handed it to Rong Chengyi.
The old prince saw Rong Chenghan's move in his eyes, and his face showed a look of relief, and then he closed his eyes again and fell into a deep sleep again. The doctors were invited again, but this time, they refused to administer medicine or injections.
They have done their best, and now they can only resign themselves to the destiny of heaven.
"The prince is in good health, God bless, maybe he can survive it......"
This sentence is good, but it can't hide the depression in the words.
Rong Chengyi retreated to the side of the Su family with the brocade box, and beckoned Rong Chenghan and Rong Chengxiang to him.
"Father's recital, do you invite the mother to ......?"
"I'm in a mess right now, you can make your own decisions." Su Shi waved his hand and said, "Since your father hasn't sealed it, it's okay to look at it." "Since it's not a secret fold, let's take a look, and when we get to the emperor in a while, it's better to talk.
Rong Chengyi also meant this, so he looked up at Rong Chenghan. He was asking for Rong Chenghan's opinion.
Rong Chenghan also nodded lightly.
"The mother concubine said, the eldest brother will take a look first." Rong Chengyi didn't ask Rong Chengxiang's opinion, but Rong Chengxiang opened his mouth first, "My father has been for the Rong family all his life, so it's really out of the way." What did my father say in the excerpt, long live the lord will never treat us badly. ”
Generally, when the widow of the old minister goes up, His Majesty the Emperor will always have a corresponding grace to give it. Or give glory to the old minister's back, or give all kinds of grace to the old minister's back.
King Yongjing did pay a lot for the imperial court and was deeply respected by the emperor. The old prince's letter is folded, and it is not surprising that the palace will receive a lot of grace. Long live the Lord will not forget the three sons of the old prince.
Everyone didn't answer Rong Chengxiang's words, Rong Chengyi just took out the fold and opened it.
Rong Chengyi quickly finished reading the recital, and handed it over to Rong Chenghan. Rong Chenghan also watched the folds, but did not make any comments.
This letter is obviously sent by at least one of the Rong Chenghan brothers, but the palace is also inseparable from people at the moment.
"The eldest brother will send the fold, and the family will hand it over to me." Rong Chenghan said.
"It's better for the third brother to send it." Rong Chengyi thought about it, but shook his head.
"Okay, just big brother." Rong Chenghan did not distinguish with Rong Chengyi, but happily agreed.
Liu Ruoxi followed Rong Chenghan back to Yunshuiju quickly, and found clothes to change for Rong Chenghan.
"What does my father say in his recital?" Liu Ruoxi asked softly.
"Hmm......" Rong Chenghan groaned slightly, then took out the fold from his chest and handed it to Liu Ruoxi.
"Show me?" Liu Ruoxi raised her eyes and glanced at Rong Chenghan.
"It doesn't hurt to see." Just don't say it.
Liu Ruoxi saw that Rong Chenghan was like this, and there were no outsiders in this house, so she didn't excuse herself, so she simply opened the recital and took a look. It was written by the old prince himself, and it is easy to see that it was written in the past two days. The old prince's handwriting is very good, but on the fold of this letter, it is obvious that the pen is a little unstable.
In normal times, this may be a bit irreverent. But at this time, it is even more obvious that the old prince is sincere. I think that the emperor can already be moved without reading the content.
What's more, the content of the old prince's fold is even more moving.
Almost every word in this fold is a big, blood-soaked "loyalty". The old prince knew that his fate would not be long in coming, and what he was thinking about was still the foundation of the Rong family. Liu Ruoxi looked at the old prince's recital, and couldn't help but think of the famous teacher table of the previous dynasty.
In addition to the foundation of the Rong family, the old prince rarely mentioned his own family and his own aftermath in the twists and turns. The old prince only said that his funeral should be simple and must not be extravagant. As for his own children and grandchildren, the old prince simply wrote a sentence.
The descendants are stubborn, please spur them on by the emperor.
Putting down the twists and turns, Liu Ruoxi felt a lot of emotion in her heart.
"This is Father." Rong Chenghan said in a deep voice.
"Yes." Liu Ruoxi nodded, this is King Yongjing. Although Liu Ruoxi was a little dissatisfied with some of the old prince's practices, none of these could change a fact. The Yongjing prince's generation of heroes is admirable.
Hand it back to Rong Chenghan,
"Now when you enter the palace, you have to wait in front of the palace gate for half an hour." Liu Ruoxi said, "At this hour, the cold is the heaviest. Hey......"
Liu Ruoxi sighed, obviously feeling sorry for Rong Chenghan. (To be continued......)
