The little eunuch gently told outside the door, saying that the medicine had been prepared, and it stands to reason that Lotus should be picked up and sent to the emperor, but Lotus was the first day to do this work, and this business trip hurt his hand, and he was scared when he heard the voice outside the door. Chang Gui glanced at the lotus flower, and asked the little eunuch to send it in by himself.

"Send it in, with a light foot."

Chang Gui shouted softly outside, and the little eunuch pushed the door in, lowered his head and held the plate tightly, and knelt in front of Chang Gui. Lotus stood uncomfortably on the side, clasping her hands and not knowing what to do. Chang Gui leaned down and took the medicine tray.

"Alright, you can get out."

"Yes."

The little eunuch was nervous, his head hit the ground heavily, and he stood up tremblingly and withdrew.

Chang Gui didn't care, he was too scared when he was taken into Zhengyang Palace by his godfather for the first time. These newcomers to the little palace daughters and eunuchs, after a long time, will get used to it. Chang Gui stood up and walked inward. Lotus was still standing in place, not knowing what to do, Chang Gui turned around and called her.

"What are you doing, keep up."

"Yes, yes."

Lotus cheered up 120,000 points, followed Gong Zhu into the inner hall, and saw the emperor lying on the bed.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, have you woken up, it's time to take medicine."

Chang Gui bent down and gently called the emperor, and the emperor on the bed raised his eyelids and opened his eyes.

This emperor, who was supposed to be above 10,000 people, now looks like a dying old man, even if he is lying on the dragon bed, he looks no different from those lonely old people in the village who are about to die. There is no ninety-five honor, there is no ten thousand people, and now lying on the sickbed is just an ordinary man who can't get out of the world, breathing for a long time, with the last trace of residual thoughts, living in this world. Is this really the emperor? This is the emperor of the Northern Qi Kingdom? Thinking like this, Lianhua forgot that the person in front of him was the emperor, on the contrary, she also felt that the person in front of her was very pitiful.

"Your Majesty, it's time to take today's medicine, huh."

Chang Gui put the plate aside, stepped forward and gently helped the emperor up, leaning on the pillow.

"Oh? Who is this little girl? ”

The emperor noticed that the lotus flower was standing there, so he asked Chang Gui. Yes, this Zhengyang Palace, this inner hall, has not had a newcomer come for a long time. Lotus was in a daze, startled, and quickly knelt on the ground.

"Slave, slave damned."

"It's the new Xiaogong daughter, specially transferred over, adding popularity to us here, and relieving your boredom."

"Hmm."

The emperor turned his head slowly and looked at the lotus flower carefully. I want to say something, but I can't say it. Chang Gui looked at it in his eyes, and he was very sad. The medicine is getting heavier and heavier. Half a month ago, the emperor was not so confused, and now he can't even speak. Chang Gui had medicine in his hand, and he really couldn't bear to pour it on the emperor. The people who stay in Zhengyang Palace know that this medicine is strange, not to cure diseases, but to kill people.

When the emperor fell ill, maybe he still had some doubts in his heart, but when the imperial doctor gave him a trembling look, he suddenly seemed to understand something. He conspired with the emperor and cut off the medicine for a few days, and sure enough, the emperor's illness was getting better day by day, but the imperial doctor ran to him again to ask for help, and in desperation, he had to drag Gonggong Wei and a craftsman to send it to Gongzhu. But Grandpa Wei went and never came back.

That day, he was about to pour out the medicine bowl with him, but he was stopped by the emperor, who took the bowl and drank the medicine himself.

"Your Majesty. You are. ”

"Even if I don't drink it, this medicine will end up in my mouth."

"But you."

"As soon as there is the slightest bit wrong, the queen will start to do something, and it is better to do what he thinks than this."

"But."

"Chang Gui, remember, even if one day, I can't drink it, or I don't want to drink this medicine, you have to pour this medicine into me."

"Your Majesty, you, why are you suffering?"

"I may not have any thoughts anymore, let's just end it like this, I don't want to care about the outside world, let it be God's will."

Chang Gui thought back to the scene of that day, at that time, the emperor still had some spirits, although he was sluggish, but it was not like this.

"yes, yes."

The emperor read it in pieces, Chang Gui didn't say anything, silently picked up the medicine bowl, and sent medicine to the emperor's mouth spoonful by spoonful. At first, the emperor frowned and closed his mouth and refused to take the medicine, but Chang Gui glanced at him, and he obediently opened his mouth to take the medicine. Chang Gui didn't know what his eyes were like to make the emperor so obedient.

Lianhua kept kneeling on the ground, but Chang Gui ignored her, so she became bold, raised her head, and watched Chang Gui feeding the emperor medicine. Spoonful by spoonful, the expression of the person who fed it was painful, but the one who drank the medicine was like a person who was fine. In fact, Lianhua is very curious, why there are only so many people in the sleeping palace of the Emperor Tangtang, and no one is usually waiting by the emperor's side, only the Grand Duke goes in and out alone, and no one else is allowed to stay in Zhengyang Palace.

How does Lotus know, this is carefully arranged by the queen, even if at any time, the emperor does not come up with a mouthful of phlegm, can't he also lose his breath.

"How old?"

After the emperor drank the medicine, Chang Gui wiped his mouth, and the emperor seemed to suddenly remember something, and hurriedly turned his head and asked Lotus.

Lotus was stunned by the question again.

"Ten, seventeen."

"Oh, the queen is a year younger than you."

Lotus was confused, she didn't understand what the emperor was talking about. Chang Gui was also taken aback, what, is the emperor really confused?

"Sixteen years old, oh, no, hehe, the queen was not a queen when she was sixteen years old, she was a concubine."

Chang Gui breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the emperor is not confused.

"At that time, the queen was sixteen years old, and not long after she entered the palace, she liked to paint, so I gave her a courtyard closest to the imperial garden, and when she was free, she went to paint flowers, and the house was full of paintings she painted. Once, the flowers in the imperial garden bloomed, and they were very beautiful, and she asked someone to send a message to her, saying that she asked me to go and see it, and she really agreed, and gave back a poem. However, I was delayed because of official business. It was raining that day, and when I got there, Concubine Xi was still standing there, hugging the painting tightly to her chest, not letting it rain, her own hair was wet, but when she saw me, she was still very happy to take out the painting and show it to me with a smile. At that time, I really liked Xi Concubine. ”

Chang Gui didn't speak, and listened quietly. Lotus was too, quietly listening to the muttering of the old man on the bed.

After a while, the more the emperor spoke, the quieter his voice became, and after a while, he closed his eyes and fell asleep again. Chang Gui gently put the emperor down, pressed the corners of the quilt, and motioned for Lotus to go out with him. Lianhua got up from the ground, followed Chang Gui out of the inner hall, and glanced back at the sleeping Northern Qi Emperor.
