Therefore, all year round, no matter when you step into this Kunning Palace, you can't see a trace of decadence, there is spring in spring, and there is winter in winter, and it has always been full of vitality. Can ...... now If you don't see it with your own eyes, Hongshi can't believe that this is the Kunning Palace where the Nala clan lives, looking at it, except for a few evergreen trees in all seasons, all the rest are ruined, how can there be a trace of vitality at all, such a scene, it is uncomfortable to look at, I really don't know what kind of mood the emperor faces this scenery every day.

The more Hongshi thought about it, the more uncomfortable it became, the tip of his nose became sour, and he was about to walk in again, Xiao Ningzi came out with a gargle, and when he saw Hongshi, he was excited, and quickly stepped forward and said in a trembling voice: "The slave asks for peace for the second elder brother, and the second elder brother is blessed!" ”

Presumably, Xiao Ningzi has never been so happy to see Hongshi in his life as he is at this moment, it is like seeing a living Bodhisattva.

"Get up." Hongshi suppressed the thoughts in his mind and said, "Where is the emperor's mother?" ”

Xiao Ningzi hurriedly replied: "If you go back to the second elder brother, the queen mother is lying in the inner hall." ”

Hongshi glanced at the sky and said a little strangely: "It's all this hour, hasn't the emperor gotten up yet?" ”

He remembered that Nala was very self-disciplined, and he would get up at dawn every day, and then he would sleep for a while in the afternoon, but it would never exceed half an hour, and now it was not three quarters, how could he still lie down. Thinking of this, his eyes swept over the slug that Xiao Ningzi held in his hand, his heart tightened, and he said, "Is the emperor's mother sick?" ”

Xiao Ningzi sighed and said: "The slave doesn't dare to hide the second elder brother, since the master was grounded, the use of the palace has been cut clean, except for three meals a day, there is nothing, all winter, not even a piece of charcoal, the master is so hard to boil, and now he finally boils out, coughing all day long, and he doesn't even have the strength to get up in the past two days, and the slave has begged the doorkeeper several times to ask a doctor to show the master, or else it will be okay to report to the emperor, but they just don't agree, The slave is very worried, and he doesn't know what to do, Second Elder Brother, you are here, Second Elder Brother, you are here, does it mean that the grounding has been lifted? ”

"Not yet." These three words made the expectation on Xiao Ningzi's face instantly turn into astonishment, and he said after a long time: "Then why can you ...... the second elder brother?"

Hongshi was in no mood to explain to him at the moment, so he only said: "I'll talk about these words later, I'm going to see Huang Eniang now." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Ningzi also reacted, hurriedly turned sideways, and said with a smile: "Second elder brother forgive the sin, the slave was so happy that he forgot about business, please hurry up, if the master sees you coming, he must be very happy, maybe this disease will be cured." ”

After Xiao Ningzi put the gargle in his hand on the ground, he accompanied Hongshi to the inner hall, because there was no window, the more he went inside, the darker it looked, and I don't know if it was Hongshi's illusion, I always felt that there was a rotten breath in the air.

As soon as he stepped into the inner hall, he heard a few coughs, Hongshi's footsteps paused slightly, and his expression became complicated, he heard that this was the voice of the Nala clan, and it seemed that the emperor's mother was very sick.

Xiao Ningzi was about to speak, but Hongshi raised his hand to stop him, and could only watch Hongshi walk to the bed step by step.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Nala opened his eyes, because the room was too dark and the person was sick, so he could only roughly see a figure, and said: "Xiao Ningzi, stroke the back for the palace, the palace feels very uncomfortable." ”

Hongshi didn't speak, just walked to the side of the bed, and then leaned over to help Nala, one hand supported her, and the other hand gently stroked her back, after feeling that Nala's breath was balanced compared to just now, Fang said loudly: "Is the emperor's mother better?" ”

As soon as he spoke, Hiroshi felt a stiffness under his hands, a stiffness that even stopped breathing. Nala turned her head stiffly, staring at Hiroshi with wide eyes, trying to see him clearly, but the room was too dark, even if it was so close, she couldn't see clearly, raised her skinny hand and gently stroked Hiroshi's face, stroking it several times, before she said tentatively: "Hiroshi...... It's you, right? ”

That call almost made Hongshi cry, and hurriedly held her hand and said, "Yes, Huang Eniang, it's Erchen, Erchen is back." ”

Nala wept and said: "It's really you, Hongshi, Eniang's son, Eniang thought she would never see you in this life!" Listening to Nala's voice seemed so excited that he even confused the name.

Hongshi hurriedly said: "How can the emperor say such unlucky words, isn't the son by your side now?" ”

Nala nodded vigorously, and after seeing the figure behind Hongshi, she said, "Xiao Ningzi, hurry up and open the window, let Hongu take a good look at Hongshi, Hongu hasn't seen it for almost a year." ”

Xiao Ningzi hurriedly opened the window that had been closed, and let the bright sky light pour into the hall, dispelling the darkness that had been shrouded in the hall.

By the light of day, Nala Shizai looked at Hongshi carefully, and said very distressedly: "I have lost a lot of weight, look at this cheek, there is no meat, the emperor heard that you went to Henan to implement the new policy, is it true?"

"Yes, it was originally going to go for a year, but the implementation of the new Henan policy went smoothly, so Erchen was able to return to Beijing ahead of schedule." Saying this, Hongshi choked up and said: "Erchen is just a little thinner, but the emperor is too thin, and she is sick and haggard, and the son is not filial, and he failed to serve the emperor in front of the bed, please punish the emperor." ”

Without waiting for Hongshi to kneel down, Nala had already held his hand tightly and said, "It's no wonder that you have this matter, it's the emperor's mother herself who has nothing to do, and she is so good that she is getting sick, which is really getting more and more useless." ”

"It's not that the emperor's mother is useless, but today's Kunning Palace is not a place where people live at all, Xiao Ningzi said that this winter, the internal affairs government has not sent a piece of charcoal to the emperor's mother, and it is nothing to want." Speaking of the back, he choked up more and more, and said with red eyes: "I really wronged the emperor's mother." ”

Nala shook his head slightly and said: "Huang Eniang was not wronged on the first day, there is nothing to be sad about, it's just that these days, I have been missing you very much, Hongshi, don't you hate Huang Eniang?" ”

As soon as he heard this, Hongshi hurriedly knelt down on the bed, choked up, and said: "The emperor's mother is dedicated to her son's ministers, but the sons are provoked by traitors, and they say disrespectful words to the emperor's mother, and the sons are not filial, and the sons should die!" ”

Nala was greatly moved when he heard this, stroked Hongshi's cheek, and said softly: "Don't say such things, it's not your fault for all this, and the emperor has never blamed you, scolding you at that time was just a moment of anger, not a heart." ”
