Chapter 635: Reaction
There was a crisp "clang", and the expensive and delicate teacup shattered, and the tea splashed all over the ground, and even some splashed on the skirt.
But Mrs. Zheng didn't notice it, she only clenched Gu Xinian's hand with a pale face, and her voice trembled: "Xinian, is what you said true?" Concubine Zheng Guifei really looked for a short time, and now she doesn't know whether she is alive or dead? ”
Gu Xinian looked at his mother's pale face, and felt a little sorry in his heart, and nodded slowly: "Yes, I just received this news too." The queen mother strictly ordered the people in the palace to spread the news, so I don't know very well. I only heard that the concubine Niangniang used white silk to find a short-term yesterday, and the imperial doctors have been treating the concubine Niangniang's bedroom. It hasn't come out until today! ”
Madame Zheng's hands trembled, and her eyes flashed with water.
Ye Qinglan saw her mother-in-law so sad, and her heart was heavy. Hurriedly opened his mouth to comfort: "The noble concubine Niangniang has a great life, and she will definitely be fine." The imperial doctors in the palace are highly skilled, and they will definitely be able to save the concubine Niangniang. You don't have to worry. ”
Mrs. Zheng's heart was so confused, where could she still listen to these words of comfort, she just sat on the chair dejectedly, tears falling down her eyes.
Gu Xiyu didn't know how to comfort her, so she timidly came to Mrs. Zheng's side and held Mrs. Zheng's hand.
Gu Hong sighed lightly: "The concubine is your own sister, and if something like this happens, it is inevitable that you will be sad." But the situation in the palace is very delicate now, and we really shouldn't get involved. Only when the concubine is well in the future, I will think about visiting. ”
Hindering the face of Empress Gu and the crown prince, even if Mrs. Zheng had the opportunity to enter the palace, it would be inconvenient to visit Concubine Zheng. This. How could Mrs. Zheng not know? can think of the dying Concubine Zheng, Mrs. Zheng's heart seems to be tightened. Tears kept falling.
Mrs. Zheng's low mood naturally affected everyone's mood. There was no word for a while.
It's been a long time. Mrs. Zheng's crying gradually stopped, and she asked with red eyes: "Does the third prince also know about the matter of the concubine?" ”
Gu Xinian nodded: "Got it." I heard that he went to the palace this morning to ask to see the emperor. Without waiting for everyone to ask, he told what he knew.
After a night, the news reached the ears of the third prince. He was so anxious that he immediately entered the palace to ask to see the emperor. The emperor refused to see the three princes at first, and the three princes knelt outside the door for a long time, and finally the kneeling emperor relented and saw the three princes. When the emperor and the three princes were talking, there was not even a eunuch left next to him. No one knows what exactly was said. However, after that, the third prince went directly to Concubine Zheng's bedroom and stayed by Concubine Zheng's side
In this way, isn't the day when the three princes will be postponed?
Ye Qinglan glanced at Mrs. Zheng, who kept wiping the corners of her eyes, and silently swallowed this sentence.
finally appeased Mrs. Zheng, and the husband and wife returned to Izumozen. As usual, I looked at the child before I went back to the house to talk.
"The emperor's soft-heartedness should not change his mind. Don't let the three princes go to Fandi! Ye Qinglan asked worriedly.
Gu Xinian was not worried, and even smiled faintly: "The holy decree has been made, and there is no room for negotiation in this matter." However, Zheng Guifei made a fuss. The emperor probably wouldn't be so ruthless and immediately let the three princes leave the capital. Looks like we're going to have to delay a few more days. ”
He said it so confidently that Ye Qinglan had no choice but to relax and not think about this annoying question for the time being
Gu Xinian was very calm. The prince is not so calm. After learning that the third prince had entered the palace to accompany Concubine Zheng, he was even more anxious. Think about it. I decided to go into the palace again.
Mo Shi stopped the prince: "Your Highness, are you planning to enter the palace?" ”
The prince snorted.
"Please listen to your concubine." Mo said euphemistically: "Concubine Zheng hasn't woken up yet. Reasonably, the father and the emperor could not refuse the pleading of the third emperor's brother. At this time, if His Royal Highness goes to admonish, I am afraid that he will end up with a reputation for being mean and unkind. According to the concubines, it is better to wait and see. ”
Being reminded by Mo's this, the prince was also shocked to realize the inappropriateness of his behavior, and suddenly came to his senses: "What you say is reasonable! I really shouldn't have entered the palace! ”
Seeing that the prince listened to his words, Mo Shi's mood suddenly improved a lot, and he said with a smile: "Actually, if you think about this matter the other way around, it is not a bad thing. The uproar of the noble concubine can certainly make the father and emperor temporarily soften. But it doesn't help at all. The holy decree has been given, and the father and emperor will never take back the fate. Even if the third emperor brother stays in the capital for a few more days, when the concubine gets better, he still has to go to Fandi. The love between the concubine and her father is not a little left after being so troubled. In the future, in this palace, there will be no one who can compete with the queen mother. ”
The prince's mind gradually cleared up, and after a moment of silence, he finally showed a smile: "You're right, I thought too much before." I'd better stay put. ”
Mohs pursed his lips and smiled
In the dead of night, Concubine Zheng's bedroom was still brightly lit. Several imperial doctors stayed up for a day and a night, and all of them were depressed and looked haggard. But no one left.
The emperor had an order, and before Zheng Guifei woke up, several of them must stay in Zheng Guifei's bedroom and be on standby at any time. If Concubine Zheng really had three longs and two shorts and died like this, the lives of several of them probably wouldn't be saved.
Although everyone sighed in their hearts that they were unlucky, no one dared to reveal it. Even when the third prince shouted with red eyes, "If you quacks can't save the concubine, I will personally cut off the heads of several of you", he had to squeeze out a smile to comfort the almost hysterical third prince: "Your Highness, please rest assured, the officials will definitely do their best"
The third prince couldn't even listen to half a word, his eyes were staring at Zheng Guifei, who was almost out of breath with a pale face, and his heart was in sharp pain as if he had been pricked by a needle.
If it weren't for him, my mother wouldn't have lost her mind and done such a thing.
If those palace maids find out a little later, their mother and son will really be separated forever!
As soon as he thought of this, unprecedented remorse and pain echoed in the hearts of the three princes. It's all his fault, if it weren't for his ambition to be the crown prince, if it weren't for the fact that he angered his father and the emperor, and his pampered and beautiful mother, how would he have fallen to the point where he is today
He slowly sat down on the edge of the bed and subconsciously held Zheng Guifei's hand. The soft hand was cold and unwarm. Tears seeped out of the corners of his eyes at some point. Suddenly, my father's calm face appeared in my mind.
"Are you really going to accompany your mother?" Father asked lightly.
He knelt deeply to the end, and replied sonorously: "I ask my father to fulfill the filial piety of his sons." If the father still can't trust his son, the son is willing to swear here. As long as the mother concubine can wake up safely, the sons will immediately leave Beijing for the domain, and will never stay for one more day, and as long as there is no call from the father and the emperor in the future, the sons will never leave the domain half a step without permission. ”
……
The father finally nodded and agreed to let him enter the palace to accompany Concubine Zheng. But he knew very well in his heart that his father's love and love for him had come to an end. What awaits him will be the fate of leaving the capital away from his mother. And what will be waiting for the mother?
Before you know it, tears blur your vision.
"Mother, why are you so stupid......" he choked up and whispered, "My father has already made a holy decree, how can he take it back again?" You're just tossing yourself up. Father hasn't even come to see you until now......"
Concubine Zheng on the bed still looked miserable and lifeless.
"As long as you wake up safely, from now on, I will never hope for anything that does not belong to me. Mother, I beg you, open your eyes quickly......" The third prince couldn't say any more, and tears kept pouring out of his eyes. He trembled and buried his face in Concubine Zheng's palm, and the hot tears quickly moistened her palm.
The fingers of Zheng Guifei's other hand suddenly moved, and the movement was very subtle, and if you didn't look closely, you wouldn't be able to notice it at all.
The third prince still lowered his head and cried, not realizing that Concubine Zheng had woken up.
Concubine Zheng Guifei struggled with all her strength, and finally opened her eyes, and her dry lips squeezed out a faint shout: "Zhang'er......"
The third prince was shocked, and raised his head in disbelief, his eyes full of ecstasy: "Mother, you are awake!" ”
Concubine Zheng's voice was so weak that she could barely hear clearly, and said intermittently: "Zhang'er, I went to beg your father, but he refused to see me." I'll die to show him now, and he'll never let you go again......"
Tears that had been stopped welled up again without warning. The three princes' hearts were like knives, and they could hardly speak.
"Don't cry, I'll be fine." Zheng Guifei tried hard to squeeze out a smile, and there were bursts of burning pain in her throat, and she couldn't speak in pain. She strained hard, and the pain in her throat grew: "I'll be fine." You have a rare opportunity to enter the palace, you must find a chance to beg your father ......"
The third prince trembled and opened his mouth and said, "Mother, don't talk yet, I'll let the imperial doctors come over." ”
As he spoke, he quickly got up and called the Imperial Doctor.
At this time, it was already the third watch. Only one of the doctors stayed at vigil, and the others went to sleep. As soon as Concubine Zheng woke up, the imperial doctors were also woken up and rushed over.
After checking the pulse, we discussed it again, and finally decided on a prescription. The palace maids went to the hospital overnight to get medicine and boil medicine.
When the hot medicine was brought over, the third prince refused to fake others and personally fed the medicine to Concubine Zheng.
Concubine Zheng Guifei didn't have the strength to sit, she was half lying on the futon softly, and opened her mouth to drink the medicine that was handed to her mouth. The hot and bitter liquid slid through the burning throat, and suddenly brought an unbearable tingling pain.
But Zheng Guifei didn't say anything, and swallowed the medicine little by little.
ps: Although the third prince is ruthless, cunning and ambitious, he is still very filial~
