Empress Pei lay on the bed with a miserable face, her eyes closed.

Cheng Jinrong looked solemn, used the golden needle as Queen Pei's acupoint, and prescribed another prescription. Yu Meiren refused to fake others and personally boiled medicine for Queen Pei.

Empress Pei was in a coma, and she still had the instinct to swallow. Most of the decoction was fed, and a small half overflowed the corners of the mouth.

Cheng Jinrong secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as you can drink the decoction, it's fine.

Concubine Gu Shu's face was full of worry, and she asked softly: "Imperial Doctor Cheng, how is the situation of the queen's mother?" ”

Cheng Jinrong cheered up and replied: "The queen mother is sad, tired, and overly unconscious. Sleep for two days, drink some decoction, and you'll be fine. ”

Concubine Gu Shufei also breathed a sigh of relief, and sighed in a low voice: "The emperor died, and no one was as sad and sad as the mother. These days, Niangniang kept watch in the mourning hall day and night. Being able to survive for half a month, this perseverance has made me feel ashamed. ”

Cheng Jinrong also sighed lightly: "Weichen can accompany Niangniang here." Concubine Niangniang should go back to the mourning hall! There are so many people inside and out, and it is all up to the lady to respond. ”

There are more than 20 harem concubines in the mourning hall, dozens of ladies of the rank of Decree, as well as the young granddaughter of the princess and the pregnant Princess Kangning. When there are more people, it is inevitable that there will be many things.

Concubine Gu Shu was duty-bound and stood up: "From now on, let the queen mother rest." I was in the mourning hall. His eyes swept and fell on Yu Meiren's body: "Yu Meiren, you stay with Imperial Doctor Cheng to take care of the queen's mother." ”

Yumei nodded in response.

Gu Shufei then stepped to the mourning hall.

……

At this time, it was already dark, and everyone in the mourning hall had eaten a simple dinner, and one by one they were sleepy.

After the first seven days, the rules of the wake were loosened a bit. Gu Shufei commanded softly: "Everyone has been kneeling all day, and now they are all tired." Retire and rest for three hours before coming back. ”

Everyone is waiting for this sentence!

In less than a moment, it was a clean retreat.

Zheng Jieyu and the others also got up and left.

When Concubine Wei Xian walked past Concubine Gu Shufei's side, her legs were weak and she stumbled under her feet. Concubine Gu Shu immediately stretched out her hand to support Concubine Wei Xian, with concern in her eyes: "Be careful!" ”

Concubine Wei Xian didn't have the slightest sense of appreciation, and suddenly withdrew her hand. Seeing that Concubine Wei Xian's eyes were full of resentment and anger, she coldly spit out two sentences: "I'm all dying, what's there to be careful about." It doesn't hurt to fall to death. ”

Gu Shufei: "......"

All the words of comfort pale in comparison.

The funeral was Emperor Xuanhe's last will before his death. Even Empress Pei and the crown prince failed to change Emperor Xuanhe's mind. Not to mention others? In the past half a month, Concubine Wei Xian and the four of them have been like walking corpses, she doesn't feel good in her eyes, and she feels uncomfortable in her heart, but she can't comfort her.

Gu Shufei's heart was extremely bitter, and her hand stretched out in mid-air slowly fell.

Concubine Wei Xian continued to stare at Concubine Gu Shu fiercely, gritted her teeth and whispered: "In the past, I often made fun of you for having no children under your knees and only giving birth to a princess. Now that feng shui is taking turns, it's your turn to laugh at me! What if you give birth to a prince, you end up like this. You have won the trust of the emperor, and you will be in charge of palace affairs in the future and enjoy the scenery. ”

Concubine Gu Shu was silent, allowing Concubine Wei Xian to vent the resentment and dissatisfaction in her heart.

Concubine Wei Xian held back her anger for half a month, and at this time she leaned out: "In the emperor's heart, there is no one else except the crown prince. Before he died, he didn't forget to plan for the crown prince, so that a few of our concubines who had princes were martyred......"

"Concubine Xian!" Concubine Gu Shu, who had been silent, finally opened her mouth: "This is the mourning hall!" The emperor's soul is not gone. How can you talk nonsense here! ”

It was also a pity that there were no others in the mourning hall at this time, only the two of them. Concubine Wei Xian said these rebellious words, but they did not fall into the ears of those who had a heart.

Concubine Wei Xian nervously tugged at the corners of her mouth, and her smile was more ugly than crying: "Hehe! I'm gibberish! I shouldn't have said anything! I don't deserve any thoughts or grievances! I should be grateful to Dade and die gratefully! When I get underground, I will continue to serve the emperor! ”

The more Concubine Wei Xian spoke, the more indignant she became, and the more she spoke, the more excited she became, her eyes full of water.

The harem is a long time, and the concubines who are not favored have a hard time. Over the years, Concubine Wei Xian and Concubine Gu Shu have been in contact with each other the most, and they have some friendship with each other.

At this time, seeing Concubine Wei Xian's appearance like this, Concubine Gu Shu's eyes were also red.

She stretched out her trembling hand and wanted to shake Concubine Weixian's hand. Concubine Wei Xian pushed her hand away, then covered her face and cried bitterly. The mournful cry penetrated the thick night and came out of the mourning hall.

Concubine Gu Shu also cried: "Concubine Xian, I know that you have hatred, resentment and anger in your heart. But this is the emperor's will, and no one can change it. I can't help you! ”

Concubine Gu Shufei reached out again and held Concubine Wei Xian's cold hand.

Concubine Wei Xian didn't push her away again this time, and threw herself on her shoulder and cried bitterly.

……

Concubine Wei Xian cried for nearly half an hour, crying until her throat was hoarse and her eyes were swollen.

With tired and weak steps, she slowly returned to the room to rest.

There are many empty houses in the Jiaofang Palace. There is one room for two ladies and one room for the harem concubines. The ladies were ordered to enter the palace to guard the spirits, and even the maids could not bring one. However, the concubines can bring two palace maids to serve.

Concubine Wei Xian pushed the door, and the room was cold.

One of the two maidens went to light the candlestick, and the other went to lay the quilt.

Concubine Wei Xian, who was extremely tired, had just laid down, and before she could close her eyes, the door was pushed open.

Concubine Wei Xian's reaction was far less sharp than usual, and she was stunned for a moment before she opened her eyes. What caught my eye was an old and haggard face.

It's Zheng Jieyu.

In recent years, Zheng Jieyu has aged extremely fast. The glamorous and charming is no longer charming, and there are many wrinkles on the forehead and the corners of the eyes. At first glance, she looks like an old woman in her fifties.

Queen Pei and Zheng Jieyu are the same age, but they look like thirty, graceful and moving.

This is the difference between a woman who is favored by the Son of Heaven and a woman who is treated mercilessly.

Concubine Wei Xian sat up straight, and her voice was cold: "What are you doing here?" ”

Zheng Jieyu's gaze swept over Concubine Wei Xian's red and swollen eyes, and she instructed the two palace maids to retreat with a faint expression. When there were only two people left in the room, Zheng Jieyu stepped forward and sat down on the edge of the bed.

The two were less than three feet apart, staring at each other.

Concubine Wei Xian's eyes were full of vigilance.

Zheng Jieyu's eyes flashed with mockery, and she pulled the corners of her mouth: "We are all dying people." Why, what are you afraid of me calculating on you? ”

Concubine Wei Xian snorted coldly and sneered at each other: "You don't care about me, why did you come to me?" ”

They have known each other for 20 years, and they know each other very well.

Zheng Jieyu didn't go around the bend anymore, put away her sneer, and said in a low voice: "Don't say dark words in front of Ming people. I am not willing to die like this, so I have to fight hard. Do you want to die? Do you dare to fight again? ”
