Naturally, these words were not only said to the empress, but also to the emperor, and both of them were touched by their hearts, one stopped, and the other lowered his head, as if thinking about something.

"Empress......" After a quiet moment, the emperor opened his mouth first, but he didn't expect that he was still interrupted by the queen.

She said calmly: "Your Majesty, the concubine should be dead." ”

In a word, the emperor's heart ached, and the disgrace just now was put aside at once, turned around and walked to the side of the bed, and said in a low voice: "The imperial doctor said that the situation is not very good, but you have to believe in their medical skills, they will do their best to save you, and you have to stand up yourself." ”

The queen smiled bitterly, "Chang Jue Lanyi, as well as water chestnut and them, are like this, coaxing the concubines, making the concubines believe that this disease can be cured, and gradually extending the lives of the concubines to this time, but the emperor, the concubines themselves know in their hearts, today is the time limit, and the concubines don't want to go, so they have to go." ”

The emperor's lips trembled slightly, and he couldn't speak, but it turned out that the status of this wife in his heart was still different from others, even if he didn't like her, he never spoiled her like he spoiled Concubine Ying, but he never thought of leaving her one day.

The Empress stretched out her hand tremblingly, this is an action she would never take the initiative to do before, the Emperor sighed, put her thin and withered hand in his palm, shook it tightly, and said gently: "I have good news for you, Lan Yi is giving birth right now, I and you, we will see the little grandson soon." ”

These words really made the queen's eyes light up, but then there was worry, "Giving birth to a child is a ghost gate, I don't know, I don't know if Lan Yi can survive it." ”

The emperor smiled and said, "Are you still worried about her?" Lan Yi, this girl, Pei Gui is well taught, and her courage may not even be comparable to that of idle men, and I look at other princesses who have given birth, and there is no one better than her. So having a baby may be a trivial matter for her, so don't worry. ”

The queen tried to bend the corners of her mouth and smiled, "How can the emperor know the pain of giving birth...... However, it is also borrowed from the emperor's auspicious words, Lan Yi must be smooth. After a pause, she took a few breaths before she said again, "Your Majesty, in fact, the concubine just wanted to tell you that the concubine was going to die and pushed you to Changfu Palace, but it was just a bit of anger, who wouldn't want to have a husband by your side at this time?" ”

The emperor's eyes suddenly became hot, and he said: "It's so early, Empress, you always refuse to be thousands of miles away, and I don't remember how you lived when you first married me." ”

At this time, Gonggong Liu cautiously moved in, bent down and whispered, "His Royal Highness King Gong is asking to see you outside." ”

Before the empress could speak, the emperor had already said quite majestically, "Let him wait outside first, I and the empress have something to say." ”

Gonggong Liu didn't dare to ask more, but the water chestnut took the initiative to get up and saluted, "Your Highness is the most filial child, I heard that Niangniang is seriously ill, I must be very anxious, let the slave go out and talk to him." ”

The emperor nodded solemnly, and then stopped caring about what was behind him, and turned his face away, only his wife in his eyes.

However, behind his unbeknownst to him, the water chestnut secretly glanced at the queen.

This look is very sad and very determined.

The master and servant have been like sisters for so many years, and the queen understands what she means.

Before dying, the water chestnut hoped that the queen could say something to bring back the emperor's heart, at least, to think of something to make Changjue's life easier in the future.

The queen lowered her head and thought about it, but she was dizzy and uncomfortable, and she couldn't think about anything at all, so she could only say casually, "The emperor always doesn't fake his color to Changjue's child, and the concubine knows that it is because you don't like the concubine, so you are angry with him." ”

"It's nonsense again." The emperor frowned, but his hands did not let go, but tightened even tighter, "Wife and son-in-law, how can I not value it, but I have high hopes for Changjue, so I am more strict." ”

How many of these words are true and how false, the queen doesn't want to care anymore, she can see that the emperor wants to make her go at ease, but as the water chestnut said, some words that are held in her heart, if you don't say it at the moment, you will never have a chance to say it again, she earned it up, and said: "The emperor just said that I don't remember how I got married just now, how did I live that day, in fact, the concubine is not, the concubine only remembers that there are more and more women around you, and I met Concubine Ying...... The six palaces have no color so far. ”

The emperor sighed, "At this time, you still want to eat this kind of vinegar?" I am the emperor, you are the queen of the world, I have no choice but to do it, and you must be tolerant. ”

The queen said bitterly: "Your Majesty, you listen to the concubine first, the concubine is not complaining that you put Ying Guifei on the tip of her heart, the concubine wants to say, since you already have a woman you really like, the concubine is a wife, in addition to being tolerant, what else can you do?" You said that the concubine refused you to be thousands of miles away, but you never thought that the concubine came out with a heart to you, you don't want it, how can the concubine keep holding it, holding it until others point to Weiyang Palace and sneer, and the person who holds it on the tip of your heart is not pleasing to the eye, and the concubine, the queen, is really nothing. ”

After saying this, his heart cramped, he couldn't support it, and he lay down heavily, but fortunately, the emperor reacted, raised his hand to hold her, and the queen fell into the arms of the long-lost one, and somehow, her eyes were red, and she shed tears.

She still muttered to herself: "The concubine hasn't cried for a long time, as a queen, how can she cry, you have to wipe it clean and slow down later, and then let Changjue come in." ”

"You, alas." What he said just now was not only the queen sad, but also the emperor's heart, which was not comfortable, he knew that the queen was reasonable, and it was precisely because of the reason that he couldn't say anything to refute.

Concubine Ying is more important than the queen in his heart, even at this time, he thinks so.

But such a ranking is meaningless at all, even if the queen is the second and third most important in his heart, she is also an important person, and he can't bear to watch the worst result come.

"I don't want you dead, Queen." In the end, he could only say this, "I know what you have paid for the harem, what you have paid for our children, and what you have paid for the world, only you can be the queen by my side, if you have any three strengths and two weaknesses, I will not stand ...... again"

"Your Majesty, don't promise your concubines." The queen said, "The concubine doesn't know where people go after they die, in case they become a wisp of soul, they can hear and see, seeing that you didn't keep your promise, the concubine's heart is broken in this life, and at that time, she will be hurt again." ”

The emperor said bitterly: "Do you have to say this? I've broken your heart, and that's the biggest rebuke to me. ”

"Or else? The concubine didn't want to lie to you at this time. The queen's tears soaked the emperor's clothes for a small time, "If there is a next life, the concubine hopes that you and Concubine Ying can meet and be an ordinary couple, she only has you, and you only have her." ”

The emperor was silent for a while, and then whispered, "Empress, you ......"

The queen smiled, "Concubine...... Your Majesty, are you still worried about your concubines? The concubine looks forward to the next life, don't meet you, don't meet Ying Guifei, if God is merciful and rewards the concubine for a single-minded person, the concubine must also live a good life with him. ”

This is a great rebellion, but the emperor doesn't care at all. He just suddenly understood that he was abandoned by the person next to him, and he felt like this.

"Sure enough, at this time, you still don't want to change at all." The Emperor shook his head slightly, a little paranoid, "You don't want to see me again?" ”

The queen laughed weakly, "If you meet, it's okay, maybe the concubine is a poor girl, and a shed in the suburbs sells herbal tea to passers-by, and the emperor is the son and brother who went to Beijing to take the exam, rest here with the concubine for a while, drink a bowl of tea, and continue on the road." That's it, it's enough, the rest of my life......"

She didn't say anything more, just quietly stopped talking, and the emperor didn't ask. The two of them snuggled up like this, and the tranquility in the Weiyang Palace really seeped out of the bones, but the pain hidden under this tranquility was also unforgettable, revealing the suppressed sourness in the deep palace all the time.

In this life, the knot in the chest of two people can never be untied.

"Let Changjue come in and talk for a while." In the end, it was the emperor who proposed first.

The queen let out a soft "um", as if she had fallen asleep.

After Wei Changjue came in, he saw the intimate situation between his father and the queen mother, and he was a little uncomfortable for a while, but his mother was still alive, which was good, he bent down and arched his hand, "Please forgive the queen mother for being late." ”

The queen whispered, "How can I bother with you about this." But you left Lan Yi alone at home, how uncomfortable is she? This woman gives birth to a child and is confined, which is the most important thing in life, don't let her feel cold. ”

Wei Changjue lowered his head in response, his whole body was tense, both sides were worried, but after all, he could only take care of one head, and he was always tasting the helplessness of life over and over again.

And the water chestnut came in after him, and at this moment he secretly watched the emperor's reaction. When the queen gave birth to Wei Changjue, there were already two princes in the palace, and the emperor didn't take this concubine too seriously, and even in the later confinement, he didn't visit much, after hearing this, maybe he would feel a little guilty?

The Emperor, however, only sighed slightly.

It's rare for a family of three to get together and talk, although most of them are Wei Changjue and the emperor talking about court affairs, and the queen occasionally stare in confusion, but she tries to open her eyes and looks at Wei Changjue, as if she is a little relaxed, this breath can't hold on.

Her child has finally grown into a man who stands up to the sky.

When the medicine was decocted and sent up, the queen did not refuse at all, knowing that there were most of the things such as ginseng and angelica here, and drank it all, the emperor asked her to lie down, took the handkerchief in the hand of the water chestnut, wiped the corners of her mouth for her, and listened to her: "It's too bitter, take some candied fruit from the water chestnut." ”
