Chapter 119: Phoenix's Fall (2)
The water chestnut responded, which is also a coincidence, when he was about to go out, Liu Gonggong trotted in, and said happily: "The slave is happy to the emperor and the queen!" ”
The emperor raised his eyebrows, the queen was also shocked, Wei Changjue was so nervous that he didn't know where to put it, he knew that there must be news from the other end of Prince Gong's mansion, and the emperor hurriedly said: "Say it quickly." ”
Gonggong Liu was full of anger and beaming, "Princess Gong gave birth for the first time, but it went smoothly, and she gave birth to a daughter in less than two hours, and the mother and daughter are safe!" ”
Wei Changjue was overjoyed, for him, nothing else matters, "peace" is the most important, and the emperor also laughed, "It's a good thing to bloom first and then bear fruit." ”
But the queen's eyes dimmed for a moment, and she said weakly: "It's a daughter......"
Wei Changjue smiled and said firmly: "Both men and women are the flesh and blood of their sons, Lan means that it is really hard for Prince Gong's Mansion to give birth to a daughter, right?" ”
When the queen heard this, her heart was a little sour, but she was more pleased that her son did not follow his father's old path, which brought indelible damage to his wife. Suddenly laughed, "Yes, yes, my daughter is very good, and she will definitely be intimate and beautiful in the future, but it's a pity that I can't see it." Changjue, you love your daughter-in-law like this, I, as a mother, am relieved. ”
She stretched out her hand, and Wei Changjue hurriedly stepped forward to hold it, "Changjue, remember what I told you before, you husband and wife, okay, don't be like me......"
"Niangniang, why do you ...... at this time" Water chestnut shed tears, and deliberately stopped him, thinking that no matter what, no matter how complaining he was, he still had to leave some room for the emperor for Wei Changjue. However, it was also at this moment that the queen's hand suddenly slipped and closed her eyes forever.
The water chestnut was stunned, his legs were weak, he fell to his knees, and cried on the ground.
The emperor staggered to his feet, turned around and saw Gonggong Liu come in with the imperial doctor when he heard the cry, waved his hand, and motioned for the imperial doctor to go and see.
The imperial doctor bent over, touched the pulse in the past, and knelt on the ground to make a big salute, and said in a trembling voice: "Queen Mother, it's over." ”
The emperor took a deep breath and said in a hoarse voice: "Tell the world." ”
Gonggong Liu cried out, and after a while, the sound of the death knell spread throughout the entire forbidden city, and in this wave of vibration, everyone knew that something was wrong. According to the rules, the six palaces are all vegetarian, but fortunately, they have made preparations before, and there is almost no panic.
In the rush, no one noticed that His Royal Highness King Gong had been guarding the queen's bedside, his eyes were very empty, and he didn't seem to come back to his senses for a long time.
Mother's hand gradually became cold in his palm, and finally after the water chestnut hung up the white curtain, he came over with red eyes and persuaded him, "Your Highness, let go of the master first, while everyone in the palace is busy, how about you go back to Prince Gong's mansion?" The princess has just given birth, so she should always take a look. ”
Speaking of Lan Yi, Wei Changjue's mind cleared up a little, he took a deep breath, slowly let go of the queen's hand, gently and properly put it into the quilt, got up and said, "Water chestnut, the queen mother will be handed over to you." ”
The water chestnut had something to say, but this was really not the time, so she bowed and said with tears: "Please mourn Your Highness, the slave will do her best to make the master's death decent." ”
Wei Changjue bowed his head slightly, and walked in front of her blankly.
The forbidden city has been covered in white, and as far as the eye can see, the sky is still divided into pieces like that, and the high red walls are still endless, as if there is no end, and my mother's life has been imprisoned in this side of the world, and now a wisp of soul does not know where to go.
Maybe it's a relief.
Concubine Ke stayed outside the Weiyang Palace, she was already crying, she was waiting here to be ready to serve the sick, but she didn't expect the news inside to come out one after another, one worse than the other, in the end, she hadn't seen the queen's face, and the other party was no longer alive.
After Wei Changjue came out, he saluted his father's harem according to the rules, and then looked at her silently, knowing that the crying of other concubines might be fake, but Concubine Ke was definitely not.
Completely ignoring her appearance, she wailed at the base of the wall in front of the door, and asked as she spoke, "Why do good people never live long...... Mother, my mother......"
Smelling it, he showed an unbearable look, but Wei Changjue didn't have any expression, but saluted Concubine Ke and said: "The queen mother is friendly with you, if I see you crying like this, I will definitely be heartbroken for this, so please mourn." ”
Concubine Ke held the handkerchief, "The ...... of this palace"
Before he finished speaking, Wei Changjue nodded lightly, and then turned to leave.
The little palace maid next to him looked at his back as he walked away, and said timidly: "Niangniang, how do you think that the slave maid is not sad?" ”
Concubine Ke's tears still couldn't stop rolling down, she knew very well in her heart that she was crying so desperately, not only crying about the queen's departure, but also crying for endless pain in the deep palace.
She said: "What do you know, it's really hurt to the extreme, a heart is broken and crumpled into foam, how can you still have the strength to cry?" ”
In Prince Gong's mansion, Lan Yi was watching Ning Fu pack up the futon, she was out of strength, unable to move, and her lips were very pale, but she always asked, "Is Your Highness back?" ”
Ruihua has been running inside and out several times, shaking her head every time, the bell faintly coming from the forbidden palace is covered by the child's crying and the complexity of the house, and she doesn't dare to tell the queen of the middle palace directly. After following Lanyi for so long, Ruihua knew that the relationship between their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was not shallow, and she was afraid that she would not be able to bear it because she had just given birth to a child.
But a white cloth had been hung outside Prince Gong's mansion, and the mourning clothes had been taken out of the treasury and distributed one by one.
The baby's cry lingered in the main house, and Lan Yi was a little anxious and asked the nurse, "Why does she keep crying?" Is there something uncomfortable? ”
The nurse was full of sweat, in fact, she was also anxious, this girl came out of the mother's womb, the cry was extremely loud, and she couldn't stop it, but she still comforted her mouth: "The slave is coaxing, don't worry, the princess, the baby can't speak after all, this cry, most of them want to say something to you." ”
Lan Yi stretched out his hand, "Come, give me a hug." ”
The nurse responded, and hurriedly handed it over carefully, Lan Yi hugged her brother back then, although it was the first time to hug her daughter, but she looked good. It's strange to say, as soon as the little girl entered her arms, the cry became smaller and smaller, and the nurse breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile on the side: "It is said that mother and daughter are connected, and sure enough, it is still in the arms of the princess, and the little princess has a sense of security." ”
Lan Yi was extremely tired, smiled hard, and said quite seriously: "The child in your family is also a mother and daughter with you, but you are just let into the palace, and you are separated from flesh and blood." In my heart, as a mother, I don't feel good when I think about this. ”
The influence of the nurse on the child is very great, Lan Yi knows this, so no matter when, she is polite to her, and this nurse is also the queen's mother's family to help thousands of choices, and she is really honest.
"Ouch, the princess's words, it really tormented the slave and maid, the slave and maid came to serve the little master, everything in the family was arranged properly, and the slave and maid could also earn silver two subsidies, which is a good thing for pie in the sky. Although it is a pity that I can't watch the child grow up little by little, the slave doesn't feel bad in her heart. ”
Lan Yi nodded, handed back the quiet little baby, and the sleepiness and pain invaded her one after another, she was afraid that the child would fall, and said: "It's good that you can think like this, if you take care of the little county lord, don't say that Prince Gong's Mansion will not treat you badly, and the palace will not shorten your reward." ”
For people like the nurse, it is a very face-saving thing to be able to do things in the palace, and now the master is still so kind, the gratitude is overflowing, and the words are much more relaxed, she holds the soft little girl standing beside Lan Yi, telling some interesting things outside, and is talking about the Wang family next door to her house by selling melons for a living, seeing that he entered the palace of Prince Gong and was quite jealous and wanted to make a trip, Wei Changjue suddenly appeared in front of the door.
Lan Yi looked at him in a daze, he also looked at Lan Yi like this, although the nurse was not smart, she knew that the affairs between the husband and wife of the main family should never interfere, so she hurriedly hugged the little county lord and retreated, and Wei Changjue's heart, there was no time to give it to his daughter at all, and he was relieved to see that Lan Yi was fine.
"It's fine."
Lan Yi understood what he was saying, and smiled hard, "I'm fine, I'm just a little tired, and I've finally waited for you back, is the queen mother okay?" ”
The exhaustion and sadness in Wei Changjue's eyes diffused at this moment.
He said, "Lan Yi, the queen mother is gone. ”
The hand grasped the futon at once, and the day finally came.
Sadness and joy really can't cancel each other out, the happiness of mother and daughter's peace can't dilute the huge sorrow brought about by the queen's death, Lan Yi feels that he has no fate between mother and daughter, and Feng Ying used to say goodbye with blood and tears, and now he is finally familiar with the queen, and this is the ending.
The two looked at each other without saying a word, and in the end, Wei Changjue walked towards Lan Yi step by step, but when he reached the bedside, his hand was immediately held by the other party, and the soft and warm breath ironed his emotions at once.
Tears burst out like a, he slowly knelt on the edge of the bed, and repeated weakly, "Lan Yi, the queen mother is gone......"
Lan Yi's eyes were also red, her hands trembled, and she said softly: "It's okay, we already knew that she would leave, right?" ”
Wei Changjue was like a child who had been pulled out of his heart, crying loudly.
The lush trees of Weiyang Palace, the cloister of coils, and the wind lanterns lit in front of the door, there is no color and vitality from now on, no matter who will live in it in the future, in the hearts of Lan Yi and Wei Changjue, she should be the one who sits on the phoenix throne and is the one in the world, and no one can replace it.
