"I believe you." Xia Yulan smiled, and the two left hand in hand.

The emperor's illness became heavier, and this night Chengzhao summoned all the doctors in the Tai Hospital to come over and rectify Emperor Xiao Yuzhang.

The emperor's bedroom was brightly lit, and many people were busy, and the emperor had fainted.

Cheng Zhao sat on the edge of the emperor's bed, his brows furrowed, and he was very bored.

The eunuch outside the palace screamed: "The Queen Mother has arrived."

Cheng Zhao was stunned, and there were some doubts in his heart. Empress Dowager Xu, she is here.

This is really a bit surprising, usually speaking, the emperor is weak, and the people in the palace are no longer surprised.

Of course, the same is true for Empress Dowager Xu. When the emperor was seriously ill, he came to see him the first two times. After that, he sent the palace people to ask about the situation, and as for appearing here late at night, it was never.

Cheng Zhao was still frowning, and Empress Dowager Xu had already come in.

Although the candles in the palace were bright, the moment Empress Dowager Xu came in, Cheng Zhao still found that she seemed to be much older.

It's not just pale, it's a kind of decadence that doesn't come out.

Cheng Zhao was a little surprised that the Empress Dowager Xu could be like this, and all the palace people and the imperial doctors had already knelt down to greet her: "See the Empress Dowager."

Cheng Zhao bowed slightly, lowered his eyes and said, "Imperial grandmother."

Empress Dowager Xu waved her hand to let these people get up, and actually walked up to Cheng Zhao and asked, "Prince, how is the emperor?"

The voice of Empress Dowager Xu made everyone in the room stunned, hoarse and gray, and trembling slightly.

Cheng Zhao said truthfully: "I just drank the medicine, and now I am asleep."

Empress Dowager Xu nodded, lowered her head and sat down again, and stroked the emperor's eyebrows and eyes on the dragon bed.

The emperor slept quietly on the couch, Empress Dowager Xu's fingers trembled and swiped, her eyes stared straight at the emperor, although she stared at the emperor, but Cheng Zhao found that her eyes seemed to be a little fluttering. It's like thinking about someone through the emperor's face.

After half a salary, she let out a long sigh: "Zhang'er is also a hard-working person."

Zhang'er is the name of Emperor Xiao Yuzhang, but Empress Dowager Xu has never called her father like this.

Cheng Zhao looked strange, why did Empress Dowager Xu seem to be a different person.

Could it be that he has been too busy this time and has not been to her palace for too long? Because she found out that Empress Dowager Xu really suddenly became old.

At such a close distance, he found that her eye sockets were red, slightly swollen, with heavy dark circles, and deep bags under her eyes, and despite the delicate makeup, it still couldn't cover her haggardness.

Cheng Zhao said: "The emperor's grandmother is not very good, why bother to come here again." There are grandchildren guarding here. ”

Empress Dowager Xu shook her head, "I didn't take a good look at the emperor before, but take a good look at it this time."

The emperor had already slept peacefully, and Cheng Zhao only let a few imperial doctors guard outside. The others let it go.

Of course, Empress Dowager Xu was still sitting on the edge of the bed. Cheng Zhao: "Imperial grandmother, it's late at night, go back and rest."

Empress Dowager Xu shook her head, she: "Prince, just in front of the emperor, our ancestors and grandchildren are talking."

Seungzhao doesn't know what she wants to do with herself? And what is there to do.

He has been fighting with her for so many years, and there has never been intrigues, intrigues, and no time to sit down and talk together.

Such a scene is not that Cheng Zhao doesn't want to, but that Empress Dowager Xu used him as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh. So...... It's just that now, what tricks does this Queen Mother Xu want to play, what kind of mother and son filial piety does she perform, and what kind of way of morality?

Seungzhao sat there quietly, waiting for her to speak.

The room was quiet, and there was no sound except for the crackling candles

Empress Dowager Xu was silent for a while before she said, "Zhao'er, my grandmother was confused before."

Cheng Zhao was stunned, what is she in? Hello?

Cheng Zhao looked up at her, and Empress Dowager Xu said again: "Zhao'er, what grandmother regrets the most is that she has interfered with you for so many years. In fact, your ability is above King Kangyu. Grandmother can see that you are smart and wise, so Daying's government is handed over to you, and grandmother is relieved. ”

"Grandmother ......" Chengzhao was even more puzzled, he asked: "Why is grandmother like this, Uncle Huang is not bad." His grandson relied on him a lot of the time. ”

Empress Dowager Xu took his hand and patted it: "Today, let's not mention him, let's just us."

Although Cheng Zhao hated Empress Dowager Xu's touch, in front of his father, Cheng Zhao still resisted the urge to withdraw his hand.

He said, "Grandmother, please."

Empress Dowager Xu sighed, "You are still so defensive against me, but...... It's not your fault, it's the mourning family...... It's the fault of the mourners. ”

Cheng Zhao lowered his eyes, and Empress Dowager Xu said again: "Mourning the family's fault, Zhao'er...... Everything is the fault of the mourners. Later...... In the future, the mourning family will never do this to you again. ”

Cheng Zhao raised his eyes to look at her, and the Queen Mother said: "Zhao'er, whether you forgive the mourning family or not, but you believe that the mourning family is true." In the future, let's let King Kangyu participate in court politics less. Also, in two days, the mourning family will move to the imperial mausoleum, and the mourning family will guard the emperor there. ”

"Imperial Tomb?" Empress Dowager Xu suddenly got up with this, and Cheng Zhao was a little stunned.

Empress Dowager Xu, what's wrong?

Cheng Zhao said: "Grandmother, is it that the palace is not satisfactory?" If she is not satisfied, the grandmother can change the number of people who serve her. The imperial tomb is cold, but grandmother can't. ”

Empress Dowager Xu said: "The mourning family has been decided, Zhao'er...... You take good care of your father and the Great Ying Dynasty. The mourners have entrusted them all to you. ”

After the Empress Dowager Xu finished, she got up and walked out tremblingly.

Cheng Zhao looked at the figure of Empress Dowager Xu, and his heart was still a little shocked.

What's going on? Empress Dowager Xu, who had been fighting for so many years, suddenly let go, and asked herself not to let King Kang Yu interfere in the government. I also have to move out of the palace to guard the imperial mausoleum.

Cheng Zhao felt that either his ears were hallucinating, or Empress Dowager Xu was crazy.

In fact, Empress Dowager Xu was already in a state of semi-madness.

Her son died at birth, and that King Kangyu turned out to be the child of a lowly palace maid.

Because the midwife at that time was afraid that the child would die, the nobles would blame, so she replaced her daughter's newborn child.

And all this seamless operation turned out to be done by Liu Gui, the most powerful manager by her side.

She has helped others raise children for so many years.

She has been planning for so many years to help her children not spare her, and let her royal children and grandchildren suffer all kinds of difficulties.

She really shouldn't.

Therefore, she wants to repent, to the emperor, to the ancestors of the Xiao family.

So, she should go to the imperial tomb, she should get out of here.

Two days later, sure enough, as she said, Empress Dowager Xu took a few servants to the imperial tomb.

When he received the news, Chengzhao was still a little shocked.

This...... It's really coming. It seems that Empress Dowager Xu really feels that she is old and can't fight herself. King Kang Yu didn't care about it, and left all this.

When Empress Dowager Xu arrived at the imperial mausoleum, she died in half a month.

When the news of Empress Dowager Xu's death reached the palace, Cheng Zhao was even more surprised. He didn't expect that Empress Dowager Xu would look at such a spirited person a few days ago and die before his father.

However, since the Empress Dowager Xu died, Cheng Zhao still did her filial piety, buried her beautifully, and posthumously awarded her the "Empress Dowager Cixianzhuang".

Of course, the word "Cixian" is a bit ironic in the eyes of insiders.
