From spring to summer, from summer to autumn, although there has been a lot of medicine, Li Yan's body has never been very good, since autumn into winter, but it has become worse and worse, not as good as before.

"It's snowing, it's snowing!" There was a soft cry from the palace people outside the hall, Li Yan lay on the couch and sighed softly, closed her eyes, and the snow last year seemed to be in front of her again.

"If you hadn't been drunk and lying in the snow that night, why would you have been sick all year long?" Every time she thinks about it, Li Yan can't help but regret it in her heart, now that she is lingering on the sickbed, Jun En is not as good as before, if... If so, what happened to her, then her son, her brother... Li Yan suddenly paused, not daring to think further.

"It's time for Madame." The palace maid who was waiting with her brought the medicinal soup and said in a good voice: "Madame has drunk well and slept well." ”

If it was earlier, Li Yan would have forced herself to drink the medicinal soup, but now that she has been drinking the medicinal soup for more than a year, her body has never improved, which makes her more and more unconfident. "Take it and don't drink it." Li Yan stopped.

"Madam..."The palace maid was very embarrassed, "Imperial Doctor Feng said that the medicinal soup can't be broken. ”

"What's the difference between interrupting and continuing?" Li Yan whispered, "I've been drinking this medicinal soup for a long time, if it can be better, it will be better a long time ago." ”

"Madame, don't be discouraged, if it's cold today, it's normal for the symptoms to recur, if Madame stops the decoction, it's not easy to see a good deal." The palace maid comforted her.

"Oh, that's it! Come on. Li Yan sighed, and finally frowned and drank. The palace maid waited for the medicinal soup to bottom out, and carefully spooned a little honey for Li Yan to pass her mouth, and then waited and fell asleep again.

When the palace maid gently closed the door of the palace, Li Yan did not feel the slightest sleep, and in the faint candlelight, she stared at the embroidered flowers on the top and thought for a long time.

"Sister!" In the Zhaoyang Palace, Li Yannian said with a hint of complaint: "I heard today that Your Majesty came to visit, but you rejected him from the palace on the grounds that he was haggard, is this serious?" ”

Li Yan leaned on the soft pillow, her expression gloomy and said slowly: "This is indeed the case." ”

"Sister, are you sick and confused?" Li Yannian said, "It's hard to ask for your kindness, Your Majesty came in person, it is a good opportunity to ask Your Majesty for mercy, how can you turn it away?" ”

Li Yan shook her head with a wry smile, motioned to the surrounding palace people to retreat, and said in a low voice: "Brother, do you know that those who do things with lust love relaxation, love relaxation and love relaxation." I have been bedridden for more than a year, and my complexion is no longer what it used to be, and if Your Majesty sees me again and is so haggard, it will be difficult to have pity in my heart. If I want to see it, it will make him think of the past and it will be difficult for him to let go of it, and even if something happens to me in the future, the grace will extend to my son and family. ”

Hearing Li Yan say this, Li Yannian suddenly realized that he was busy saying: "It's still my sister who is thoughtful, but my brother is stupid." But sister, you can always get better when you take care of your body, so don't give up first. ”

Li Yan shook her head sadly when she heard this, and said, "Brother, don't comfort me, my body understands by itself, although Imperial Doctor Feng didn't say it explicitly, but I know that it can't get better, so it is also necessary to arrange things in the future as soon as possible." ”

"Sister..."Li Yannian's throat tightened, holding back the emotions in his heart, thinking about how to comfort him, Li Yan stopped and interrupted: "Brother, don't say it, can you play a song "South Wind Chang" for me?" ”

"Okay." Li Yannian tried to squeeze out a smile, got up and said gently, "I'll go get the piano." ”

After a while, the green piano was taken, and Li Yannian tuned the strings and stroked his fingers. The sound of the piano is astringent and low, and the overtones are tortuous and reciprocating, as if telling the depression and heavy heart, which can't help but make people sad and sad. Suddenly, the style of the song changed greatly, from gloomy to cheerful, the sound of the piano was pleasant like the smoke of the wind, "The smoke of the south wind can relieve the sorrow of our people; When the south wind blows, it can help the wealth of our people. Li Yannian was intoxicated, playing and singing, the piano sound was joyful, and he jumped to the sun. Li Yan also seemed to be infected by it, whispered and harmonized, the brother and sister stroked the piano and sang harmony, occasionally looked at each other and smiled, the time was calm and warm, and everything seemed to return to the past.

----

Since Li Yannian left, Liu Che has come to Zhaoyang Hall twice, but he was rejected on the grounds of "his unbearable appearance in illness". As the Ninth Five-Year Venerable, Liu Che had never had such an experience, and after being rejected several times, he was extremely angry, and by the third time, no one could stop him from entering the Zhaoyang Palace. Seeing that the people in the front palace couldn't stop the holy car, and before they could report to Li Yan, they were pulled over by the small yellow door beside Liu Che, and watched Liu Che go straight into the inner hall.

The inner sanctum, as ever, is still quiet and fragrant. The green silk piano was placed on the case, Xu was not played for many days, it was covered with a thin layer of silk to cover the dust, Liu Che took off the thin silk, stroked it lightly, its strings were clear, elegant and lonely, Liu Che sighed slightly in his heart, put down the piano and went to the inner room.

Walking through the colonnade, the palace people who were waiting in the inner hall saw Liu Che, and they all didn't dare to squeak and bow down to the ground, Liu Che didn't stop for a moment, walked to the front of the palace door, but suddenly hesitated, and after a while, he finally stretched out his hand and gently pushed open the lightly covered temple door.

With a "squeak", the door was pushed open, in addition to the familiar fragrance in the room, there was also a smell of medicine, as far as the eye could see, as in the past, the person he was reading was now separated from him by a carved screen, but Liu Che's heart felt nervous for some reason.

"Who, don't you know that the lady is sick, why is the door of the temple not closed?" Behind the screen, there was a rebuke from the maid, and when she turned to look, her face was as frightened as earth, and she immediately bowed to the ground: "Slave... The slave didn't know that His Majesty had arrived, and begged His Majesty for forgiveness! ”

"Your Majesty—" The man behind the screen was startled. Go down! Liu Che scolded the palace maid, and the palace maid hurriedly thanked Enfu and lowered her body and hurriedly retreated.

"Your Majesty, the concubine is not well-groomed, please forgive the concubine for the crime of not welcoming him!" There was a faint sound from behind the screen.

"Yan'er..." Liu Che quickly turned the screen, but saw Li Yan in the Luo tent turning her body inward, leaving only a bedridden back, Liu Che was worried and angry, and said, "Yan'er, do you have to be so to me?" ”

"Your Majesty...", a choked voice came from the person in the bed, "The concubine's face is no longer what it used to be when she is sick, it is really difficult to face Your Majesty, non-concubines don't miss Your Majesty, but the concubine prefers that Your Majesty's heart retains Yan'er's beautiful appearance, Your Majesty, please go back!" ”

"Yan'er, no matter how your face changes, my heart for you has never changed, so let me see you to comfort my longing!" Liu Che said earnestly, and seeing that Li Yan was still reluctant to turn around, he said again: "Didn't you always ask me to reward your brother Li Guangli before, if you are willing to see me, I will reward him with a thousand gold and make him a marquis!" ”

Li Yan said quietly: "Your Majesty, the rewards of the marquis are all in your Majesty's thoughts, not in seeing or not seeing. ”

"Are you really going to see me?" Liu Che's intolerable anger finally flared up, and he asked sharply.

"Your Majesty..." Li Yan lowered her whimper, but she still refused to turn around, and after a long time, Liu Che's face sank like water, and he shook his hand, and walked out of the inner room without looking back.

As the footsteps walked away, the room was quiet again, Li Yan turned to the side slightly, closed her eyes, and let out a long sigh. In this sigh, mixed with all the unwillingness and reluctance, but, fate is destined, what can everything do?

----

By the middle of May, Mrs. Li finally passed away with a wisp of incense, and Liu Che was grief-stricken, although Li Yan's illness made him very angry, but now that the man had passed away, the pity in his heart became deeper and deeper. After Li Yan's funeral was over, Liu Che pointed out the famous teacher Daru to carefully teach him and Li Yan's son Liu Ji, and gave Li Yannian and Li Guangli daughters as a show of gratitude.

----

"Has Your Majesty ever drunk health soup today?" Wei Zifu gently asked the little yellow door guarding under the outer corridor of the hall. Since Li Yan's death, Liu Che has been in a bad mood while grieving, often sitting alone in the Gui Palace, looking at the portrait of Mrs. Li before her death, sighing, although Wei Zifu has been comforting from the side, but has never been able to relieve his sadness, can only often care silently from the subtleties.

Xiao Huangmen shook his head helplessly, and said respectfully: "Back to the queen, since the health soup was sent in, Your Majesty has never drunk a sip." ”

Wei Zifu sighed slightly and said, "Go in the palace and take a look at Your Majesty." ”

The little yellow door responded to the promise, hurriedly bowed and opened the palace door, and when Wei Zifu entered the hall, he gently closed the palace door and quietly guarded to the side.

The light in the hall is very good, and the early summer brings a bit of hot breath, but the Gui Palace is wide and heavy, and the hall is deep and the beams are high, and it is quite cool to be in it. Wei Zifu turned the main hall, and saw Liu Che's back standing with his hands in his hands, and there was a picture of a banana beauty hanging in front of him. Wei Zifu retracted his gaze and bowed his head: "Your Majesty! ”

"Why is the queen here?" Liu Che's inquiry was not surprised, as if he was casually asking.

Wei Zifu said slowly: "Mrs. Li passed away, Your Majesty is worried, and the concubines can't share your worries for Your Majesty, and you are afraid in your heart, I hope that Your Majesty will take care of the common people in the world and take care of the dragon's body!" ”

Liu Che sighed slightly, nodded slowly, turned around, and said, "The queen has a heart!" The Si people have passed away, and I can only contrast with the paintings of the past to send my thoughts. ”

Wei Zifu lowered his head and said in a good voice: "Your Majesty is affectionate, and the concubines feel it, but if you think about it seriously, your Majesty must also take care of your body." The concubine looked at the health soup on the case, His Majesty had never drunk a sip, and the concubine asked His Majesty to agree, so that the concubine could take care of His Majesty's daily life during this time? After saying that, Wei Zifu touched his forehead with his hand, and Ying Ying bowed.

Liu Che hurriedly supported each other with his hands, his face was a little moved, and he nodded: "Okay!" Fortunately, I still have the queen by my side! ”

Wei Zifu held Liu Che's hand and stared at each other, the hall was silent at this moment, but they clearly felt a warm current surging in their hearts.

----

The pace of time is always imperceptible, and before you know it, the heat gradually fades, the cool breeze gradually rises, and under the careful care of Wei Zifu, Liu Che's mood has also improved a lot, from the initial reluctance to the occasional thoughts later, and the mood gradually calmed down as before.
