Chapter 165: Serious Illness
Jinghu didn't have a chance to figure this out in a short period of time.
Concubine Xu has already been grounded, but the king of Yongning County has not stepped into her room again during this time. The matter between Jinghu and the prince of Nanyihou did not succeed, and the prince of Nanyihou himself and the prince were even imprisoned, and the plan of the king of Yongning County naturally did not come to pass.
And on the day Jing Hu came back from the outing with the princess and Jing Xun, she had so fiercely confronted her father, and the result was just as she said. For so long, she hadn't even seen her father's face.
It's better not to see it. After all, he is her father, and there is an unbridgeable gap between father and daughter, once so close, but now there is nothing left to do.
In the first half of May, Jinghu hardly went out, and this time she was more hearted than any before. Because Concubine Xu was really seriously ill this time.
Since she was born and remembers, Jinghu has never seen her mother so seriously ill.
Her mother is often sick, after all, this is the reason why she has repeatedly invited favor in front of her husband, and she can also think of herself as a princess who thinks very highly of herself, but in fact has almost nothing.
But not this time. The pot of coral flowers that Jinghu specially let people move in in the Qixue Pavilion bloomed very well, and Concubine Xu faced it every day, but she became thinner and thinner.
"Mother, there are only a few sips left, you should drink it." Jinghu sat in front of Concubine Xu's bed, holding the medicine bowl handed over by Mama Zhao, and feeding her mother one by one.
Concubine Xu was only wearing snow-white profane clothes, her complexion was haggard, leaning on the snow-blue pillow, her face was completely bloodless, and she was as pale as a piece of white paper.
"In the past, you coaxed me to drink medicine, and today it is rare for me to coax you again. If you want me to be obedient in the future, you have to listen to me today. ”
Concubine Xu originally wanted to say something, but waved her hand at Jinghu, and when she heard her daughter say this, she was patient and drank all the medicinal juice she fed.
She knew that these medicines were useless, and there was no medicine in this world that could cure heart disease.
Seeing that she drank it all in one sip, Jinghu became happy and beckoned Doulu to bring the eight-color box she brought over today.
"Mother, here are all the best dim sum preserves I think Sanqin Zhai has carefully selected, you can try it."
Now she always unconsciously talks to her mother with a little caution, as if she is talking to a very young child. She had never seen her mother lying so weak in bed.
I don't kill Beren, but Beren dies because of me. Even though she is completely innocent about the matter of Nanyi Hou Shizi, after all, this is the cause of everything, and she always feels a little guilty in her heart.
Concubine Xu obediently picked up a piece of dried apricots and tasted it in her mouth. It's just such a simple action, it seems that she will also spend a lot of effort.
Jinghu didn't dare to look at her mother again, she was afraid that she would cry in the face of her haggard appearance. During this time, she took care of her mother, and she was actually under a lot of pressure in her heart.
She chattered, "It turns out that the mother concubine likes to eat dried apricots, and I thought that the mother concubine would taste the pine nut candy first, after all, the pine nut candy in Sanqin Zhai is the most famous, and I think it is better than the one rewarded in the palace." ”
"But this dried apricot is not bad, I heard that the apricot trees near Yanjing have suffered from insect plagues this year, this is still the apricot collected by the shopkeeper of Sanqin Zhai from Jiangnan, and I didn't eat any difference......
Jinghu's words came to this, and Concubine Xu suddenly grabbed her hand hard.
She didn't know what was going on, she was shocked by Concubine Xu's actions, and almost knocked over the box. Hurriedly handed the box to Doulu, who was standing aside, and held Concubine Xu's hand with both hands, "Mother, what's wrong?" But what's uncomfortable? ”
Concubine Xu also seemed to be aware of her gaffe, and hurriedly comforted her, "It's nothing, it's nothing." It just came to mind something. ”
She seemed to be in a daze for a moment, and then said, "Hu'er, since you went down to Jiangnan the year before last, haven't you been thinking about Jiangnan?" It's better to let the mother concubine send you down to Jiangnan to have a fun in a few days. ”
Jinghu felt a little inexplicable. When she just came back from Jiangnan the year before last, Concubine Xu missed her for a long time, and she couldn't wait to take her everywhere, look at her, and even ask her to move into Qixue Pavilion to live for a while.
Later, because Jinghu was so naughty, she couldn't stand the noise, so she moved back to Fang Shixuan.
At that time, she didn't understand Concubine Xu's concern, and felt that she was making a big fuss, she went to her grandmother's house, and she didn't suffer any grievances outside. Although she sometimes misses her parents, she is not to the point where Concubine Xu treats her like this.
Now I gradually understand that even if it is a temporary farewell, she does not want to be separated from her mother, especially when she is still sick.
Jinghu shook his head, "Why did the concubine suddenly say that?" Now I don't miss Jiangnan so much, not to mention that you are not in good health, how can I leave you alone to go to Jiangnan to have fun. ”
Concubine Xu held Jinghu's hand and sweated slightly, because her body was too weak, "The mother's illness is not so important, and the doctor also said that she can get better by taking some medicine." ”
"You are so well-behaved at home these days, and you are still feeding your mother to drink medicine, and your mother is really ironing in her heart, so I want to reward you."
As if he felt that this reason was still not convincing, "Besides, a few days ago, my mother and concubine received a letter from Jiangnan, and your grandfather and grandmother, and your two uncles miss you very much." ”
"The mother concubine is not filial, she married Yanjing early, became someone else's concubine, and there is no matter of going all the way down to the south of the Yangtze River and returning to her parents' house. Your grandfather and grandmother are old, and if you go down to Jiangnan again and visit them for your mother, you can be regarded as doing your filial piety for your mother. ”
Jinghu still shook his head, "If you want to be filial to your mother, you should be filial to your grandfather and grandmother." But now that my mother's illness has not recovered, I went down to Jiangnan, and my grandfather, grandmother and uncles asked, how should I reply? ”
She was really playful now, because she was so afraid of losing.
As a concubine, her husband's favor is the foundation of everything she stands. In fact, the children can't fight for her too much, if she falls out of favor and loves the house and Wu, she and Jing Shen will not be too valued by her father.
What's more, her mother became like this because of her after all, how could she just remember to go down to Jiangnan to play at this time. It's like raising her for nothing.
Concubine Xu looked a little relieved, and looked at her with a little gentleness, "The concubine is really fine, if not, let them arrange it first, if the concubine can't get better by then, just give up." ”
"The Yongning County Mansion won't even be able to afford to waste this little bit of money." Speaking of which, it was inexplicably a little cold.
