Chapter 257: The Emperor Cried

The matter of the Empress Dowager ended like this, the Xue family did not heal her, although she was not punished, but the little emperor's attitude towards them was obviously a lot colder.

Old Lady Xue naturally knew his current situation, and he didn't want to dangle in front of the little emperor more, lest he look at himself unpleasantly.

For a while, the Xue family suddenly kept a low profile.

Because he had been busy with the affairs of the Empress Dowager before, the little emperor didn't pay much attention to the Empress Dowager's body.

By the time he found out, the Queen Mother's situation was much worse than before.

He couldn't help but feel guilty in his heart.

He complained about her before, the Queen Mother was at the funeral, but the Queen Mother's behavior was so cold, when the Queen Mother was alive, the two got along so well.

Now that I think about it, at that time, her health was no longer good.

The little emperor thought that the Empress Dowager had just left him, and if the Empress Dowager encountered another accident, then he would really become a loner.

"Queen Mother, this is Imperial Doctor Bai, let him diagnose your pulse." The little emperor sat aside and said.

Standing beside him was a young handsome man, who had just been brought up.

"Let him go back, I don't want to see the doctor." The Queen Mother's voice was very soft, and even the little emperor could hear the weakness inside.

The little emperor pouted, he knew the queen mother's temperament.

Although she is only a woman, her temper is more stubborn than anyone else, as long as she makes a decision, no one can persuade her.

"You go down first." The little emperor waved at the white doctor, since he couldn't make the queen mother change her mind. Then there is no need to stay.

"And you, all of you, go down." The little emperor said to the palace people waiting on the side.

The little emperor has spoken, and they naturally dare not leave.

Only Mama Lu accompanied the Queen Mother in the inner room, and she didn't make any moves because of the little emperor's words.

"Mama Lu, you can go down too." The little emperor continued.

That Mama Lu is an old man next to the Queen Mother, and she is deeply valued by the Queen Mother, so he naturally wants to save some face for her.

When Mama Lu heard the little emperor say this, she subconsciously glanced at the Queen Mother.

Now that the Queen Mother is in such poor health, how can she leave with confidence.

The Queen Mother nodded slightly at her. Motioned for her to listen to the little emperor.

Although Mama Lu was a little reluctant in her heart. But walked out anyway.

When everyone was gone, the little emperor walked into the inner room and suddenly threw himself on the side of the queen mother's bed: "Queen Mother, don't you want a son!" ”

Nobody knows. The death of the Empress Dowager. How much did it affect the psychology of the little emperor.

I haven't given him enough time to recover. The Queen Mother has become what she is now.

Although the little emperor is an emperor, he is only an eight-year-old child in the final analysis.

He may be mentally more mature than his peers, but most of the time. He's still vulnerable.

The little emperor's behavior just made the queen mother's heartbeat faster, and there were not too many waves.

Compared with the younger emperor, she is more at ease with Ah Xiu.

Although the little emperor is young, he is the emperor, and the ministers of the court can be regarded as keeping to themselves, even if he dies like this, it will not have a big impact.

But Ah Xiu is different, she hasn't married yet, and she hasn't even set a good family affair yet.

Her achievements in medicine have not yet been fully accepted by the world.

If she dies, who can be her backer.

But the body is not something she can say.

"Riel." The Queen Mother coughed lightly a few times, and only after recovering did she say slowly: "You are no longer a child, you have to look like an emperor." ”

The little emperor listened to the Queen Mother's words, and his eyes suddenly turned red.

He didn't quite understand why the queen mother didn't like him.

She is her only child, but since she was a child, she has not been willing to be close to herself.

When she was young, she didn't even want to look at herself more.

Later, when her father died, she seemed to smile a little more at herself, and she would care about herself from time to time.

But he didn't have the kind of doting that the imperial grandmother did for him.

He used to think that she was cold, but he had obviously seen her smiling and doting on Ah Xiu.

Even Na Rong'an waited for more attention than himself.

"Rui'er, do you remember what the queen mother told you before, you are a little man, you can't just have red eyes, otherwise how will those ministers obey you." The Queen Mother touched the little emperor's head.

For this child, her feelings are also more complicated.

His birth made her feel ashamed.

She knew that she couldn't be angry with him, but she was really afraid that she couldn't help but do something to hurt him, so she let him be raised under the knees of the Empress Dowager since he was a child.

Even so, she was reluctant to see him.

Before he was one year old, she went to the Empress Dowager to say goodbye, but she didn't want to look at him.

Later, when he got older, he began to call himself the queen mother, and her heart slowly softened.

It's just that she can't do it if she wants her to be like a normal mother who dotes on her children.

His existence is always a reminder of his life of failure.

Only Ah Xiu, that child, she is the favorite child in her life.

As long as she's okay, then she'll be relieved.

"Has anyone else seen it, Queen Mother, don't leave Rui'er, okay?" The little emperor held the queen mother's hand with both hands, unwilling to let go.

Although it is winter now, the temperature on the Queen Mother's body is frighteningly low.

The little emperor remembered that on his last night, the hand of the Empress Dowager that he touched was also so cold, and he cried out with a "wow".

Are you really going to lose a loved one again?

The Queen Mother saw the little emperor crying so badly, and she didn't know how to deal with it all of a sudden.

Her heart soured slightly.

For this child, she is sometimes not guilty, but as long as she thinks of his father's treatment of her and the Lu family. What the Tang family did, her heart hardened all of a sudden.

"Riel." The Queen Mother picked up the handkerchief that was put aside and wiped his tears carefully: "You are still young, and you don't understand some things." ”

"If you don't say it, how can Rui'er know?" The little emperor looked at the Queen Mother with some grievances.

As long as she is willing to tell herself, then she will definitely understand.

The Queen Mother looked at his red eyes, but she didn't know what to say.

None of his own thoughts can be taken out and told to him.

"You're still too small, wait until you're big. Experienced a lot of things. And you know. The Queen Mother said slowly.

Although she was reluctant to Ah Xiu and that person, she was really tired.

Trapped in this big cage every day. There is not the slightest bit of freedom. She was exhausted.

"But what you're talking to me now. I'll understand it now. The little emperor looked at the Queen Mother with some stubbornness.

The Queen Mother looked at his eyes that looked like the first emperor, and couldn't help but skim her face.

He looks a lot like the first emperor, which is one of the reasons why she can't be close to him.

The "Queen Mother ......" saw the Queen Mother's subconscious refusal. The little emperor only felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

"Ahem!" The Queen Mother coughed violently, and in the end, she even coughed up some blood.

The little emperor was still sad in his heart, but when he saw the queen mother like this, he panicked all of a sudden.

"Queen Mother, Queen Mother, let's ask for a doctor, if you don't want to see the imperial doctor, then I'll go and find you a good doctor in the people, you will definitely get better!"

As long as the Queen Mother is willing, he will definitely be able to find a doctor with excellent medical skills among the people.

"No...... Ahem. The Queen Mother covered her mouth lightly and coughed again.

"Mother." Mama Lu shouted outside, "Ah Xiu has come to see you." ”

The Queen Mother's eyes were originally a little godless, but when she heard this, she suddenly brightened up.

The little emperor naturally didn't miss it, and there was a sour feeling in his heart.

But for some reason, he couldn't have a trace of disgust for Ah Xiu.

He seems to have an innate affection for Ah Xiu.

"Let her come in quickly, it's cold outside." The Queen Mother said, took out a small box from under the pillow, picked out some rouge contained in it with her fingers and wiped it on her cheeks, so that her complexion did not look so bad.

The little emperor watched the queen mother's movements, biting his mouth, but did not make a sound.

Ah Xiu entered the door and saw that there was no palace person inside, and he immediately felt surprised.

But when I saw the little emperor, it was clear.

Presumably this is a mother and son whispering.

If you really talk about it, Ah Xiu and the little emperor are half-siblings.

Ah Xiu can now understand why they naturally had a good impression of each other when they first met.

The bond of blood is sometimes so magical.

"See the emperor, the queen mother." Ah Xiu bowed slightly to them.

The Queen Mother naturally couldn't wait to let her get up.

"I heard that Niangniang was unwell, so I made some pills." Ah Xiu took out a small porcelain bottle.

This pill was not made by himself, it took Daddy several days to make it.

Of course, this medicine is also based on what Ah Xiu said before, the Queen Mother's illness.

Because the queen mother's body is too weak, she can't use heavier medicines, so she chooses medicinal materials with milder medicinal properties.

"Good boy, you have a heart." The Queen Mother's eyes were also full of tenderness.

If she could see Ah Xiu every day, she might still have some hope, but she also knew that this was impossible.

"Mother, do you want to taste it first?" Ah Xiu said with a smile, as if what she was enthusiastically selling now was not medicine, but food.

The Queen Mother was obviously stunned by Ah Xiu's words, after all, there was really no one to let people take medicine, and they had to "taste it" first, but because the other party was Ah Xiu, the Queen Mother obediently picked up a pill and put it in her mouth.

No matter what the medicine is, her condition won't be too bad anyway.

It's really getting worse, she doesn't blame Ah Xiu, she's happy.

It's just that......

When the Queen Mother tasted the medicine, her expression was stunned for a moment.

Inside this medicine...... (To be continued......)
