Fu Yuanling and Xiao Jiuqi sat opposite each other, both of them were not in a good mood, and they were faintly a little frizzy.

Fu Yuanling didn't know why he was upset today, a few days earlier, Concubine Tan Guifei led a group of concubines to visit the queen, and was reprimanded by His Majesty after knowing about it.

The visit at this time is a burden for the queen mother, after all, if you want to see their mother, you have to get up and make up, Fu Yuanling is very impatient, but her status makes her unable to directly compete with the concubines, so she can only let Xiao Jiuqi go to His Majesty.

This time, it was rare that Concubine Li De did not come to make people suspicious, the king of Chu came to visit the queen mother a few times, and a few times when he had free time, the king of Chu would also stay here in person.

Fu Yuanling couldn't see anything from his face, but she couldn't help but worry in her heart, if there was no queen mother in the harem to suppress Concubine Li De, I don't know what the situation would be in the future.

"The mother is awake." Yingcai came out and said with a smile at Fu Yuanling.

Fu Yuanling stood up violently, took a breath, and looked at Xiao Jiuqi, "I'll go in first and take a look, you can go in later." ”

Xiao Jiuqi nodded, the queen mother woke up, and she had to clean up.

He rushed in, and it was not appropriate.

Fu Yuanling walked into the dormitory quickly, and when she entered the door, she had a relaxed smile on her face, but looking at the queen mother in a formal dress with light makeup, her heart trembled.

"Mother, are you awake?"

When the queen mother heard this, she turned her head to look at Fu Yuanling, and only a layer of skin and flesh hung on her emaciated cheeks was hanging on the bones, which looked distressing.

"I seem to hear Meng Jiang's voice." The queen looked at Fu Yuanling and spoke.

The queen's voice was weak, and it could be dispersed when the wind blew, but her eyes were bright.

Fu Yuanling walked quickly to the couch and squatted down holding the hand of the queen's mother, looked up at her, and said with a smile: "You are really amazing, you heard it right, it was the eldest sister and brother-in-law who came back, went to the front hall to see the emperor, and came back soon." ”

The queen squinted her eyes and smiled, looking at Fu Yuanling with a soft gaze, because she had lost a lot of weight because she took care of her, she patted her hands, and said slowly in a slow voice: "Yuanling, this palace has nothing to worry about you, the only thing that is not at ease is only one thing, that is, Concubine Li De." ”

Fu Yuanling's heart trembled, "Queen Mother, you will be fine." ”

The queen's eyes were more kind, "Silly child, people always die, the queen mother is not afraid of death, but I am afraid that no one will protect you in the future." ”

Fu Yuanling's heart was sour, and his eyes were red, "Queen Mother......"

"Here's for you." The queen mother took out a slender box from the side of her pillow, and stuffed it into Fu Yuanling's hand with shaking hands, "You will open it after the palace is buried in the future." ”

Fu Yuanling stiffened, no wonder he looked good at his mother before, this ...... Is it actually a testament to return to the light?

Fu Yuanling held back tears and took the fluttering box, "Don't worry, I will listen to you." I let the prince in? ”

The queen nodded, "Go ahead." ”

Fu Yuanling went out with red eyes and called Xiao Jiuqi in, but he stayed outside the door and did not come in.

Xiao Jiuqi knew that something was wrong when he saw his daughter-in-law's expression, his hand hanging by his side clenched slightly, and his steps were a little fluttering into the dormitory.

The queen looked at her son's stiff appearance and patted the edge of her couch, "Sit." ”

Xiao Jiuqi walked over and sat down stiffly, trying to squeeze out a smile, only to find that he was so scared that his hands were shaking a little.

When he went to the battlefield, he had never been so afraid of death several times, "Queen Mother." ”

The queen looked at her son, "Xiao Jiu, there will be no protection from this palace in the future, you have to learn to protect yourself, protect your family, and don't be impulsive in doing things." The only thing this palace is worried about is you, you remember the words of the queen mother. ”

Xiao Jiuqi's tears fell suddenly, "You will live a hundred years, and you will look at me if you say yes." ”

"Yes, the queen mother wants to too." The queen looked at her son with a smile, "Don't cry, now that you have both children and daughters, and the husband and wife are harmonious, the queen mother can be blinded even if she leaves." Don't be willful in the future, do things well. ”

Xiao Jiuqi choked up, "Yes, my son listens to you." ”

"Good boy, your daughter-in-law is a good one, don't let her go. Wait for the future...... If you like it, you can go out and have a look, and you don't need to stay in Beijing all the time. ”

"Queen Mother's ......"

"Concubine Li De's palace will be settled there, you can rest assured." After speaking, the queen patted her son's hand, "Go, wait for your sister and brother-in-law to come back, and then let them in." ”

Xiao Jiuqi grabbed the queen's hand and didn't let go, and her tears fell down one by one, like a child.

The queen patted him on the shoulder, "How old is it and crying, go ahead, don't let people see jokes." ”

Xiao Jiuqi thought to himself, who would dare to look at my jokes!

But he couldn't say anything like that to his mother's smile.

He felt bad, but he didn't know what to say.

The queen looked at her son's back with his shoulders slumped and left, and slowly closed her eyes to block the reluctance in her eyes.

As soon as Xiao Jiuqi went out, he happened to see Princess Jin'an and his wife coming back, so he didn't talk about the old days, and directly let people in.

Xiao Jiuqi thought about it, but still went to the front hall and personally invited his father.

When the emperor came, his body was already slightly rickety, and his steps were staggering, but he still tried to straighten his back.

"The daughter-in-law visits her father." Fu Yuanling hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Get up." The emperor waved his hand, his eyes couldn't help but look in the direction of the dormitory, but he didn't ask a word.

Xiao Jiuqi helped the emperor sit down, and Fu Yuanling came up with tea with his own hands, looking at the ground with a pair of red eyes.

The atmosphere in the hall was dull and oppressive, and no one was in the mood to gossip at such a time.

Xiao Jiuqi sat silently beside Fu Yuanling.

The emperor looked at the equally red and swollen eyes of their husband and wife, and sat there calmly with his sad faces, but the slight trembling hands and feet revealed the unstable hearts of the two.

They are nervous, scared, worried, sad, but suppressed.

Looking at them like this, the emperor slowly lowered his eyes, and his wrinkled palms were placed on the armrests, and the slightly bulging green tendons made him clearly know that his life was also slowly passing.

Today is the Queen.

Tomorrow may be him.

Soon Princess Jin'an and her husband came out with red eyes, and Princess Jin'an was even more sad and couldn't stand, so she walked out with the support of the horse.

Seeing that the emperor was there, Princess Jin'an suddenly pounced, hugged the emperor's legs, and tears rolled down her face, "Father, the emperor ......"

The emperor raised his head and patted his daughter gently, then slowly got up himself, "I'm going to send the empress." ”

Yang Jiying hurriedly stepped forward to help his wife to make way for His Majesty.

Xiao Jiuqi went over to support the emperor, but the emperor waved his hand and walked in step by step.
