Chapter 50: Critically Ill

Recently, Ding'an waits for the old woman to enter the palace frequently, who doesn't know that the old woman enters the palace to say that the concubine is moving, and wants to let the current Ding'an wait for the prince to be the master.

Emperor Chu has only two princesses under his knees, and the second princess Xiao Xuan is still young, and only the eldest princess Xiao Lu can be married.

It wasn't until he couldn't see the modified Xiao Lu and Brother Parrot anymore that Xiao Xuan slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Who in the imperial capital doesn't know that the person who is in charge of the family is not Ding'an Hou, but the old lady of Ding'an Hou, who has been proud all her life.

But Ding'an Hou Shizi inherited Ding'an Hou's amorous lust, not to mention opening meat at a young age, and has always been a frequent visitor to Willow Lane, Flower Street, the imperial capital. The eighteen-year-old prince of the Hou Mansion has a bad reputation so bad that he is the only one in the Manchu Emperor who is willing to marry a woman.

is such a family, just relying on their own aunt and grandmother to become a concubine because of the birth of a princess, they think that with the marriage of the eldest princess, they can at least keep the title of Ding'an Hou.

Concubine Chen didn't know that her nephew was not angry, and his hobby of sleeping flowers and willows was not a good match at all. However, Concubine Chen's temperament is cowardly and her ears are soft, and she wants to wait for the old woman to come to Ding'an, as long as she puts down her body and sheds a few tears, she can coax Concubine Chen to change her heart.

Xiao Xuan also has a comparison in his heart, compared to his cousin Changjun, there is really no comparison with the Hou Shizi of Ding'an.

I don't have to think about it, and I know that my eldest sister will never accept this marriage.

With the temperament of the eldest sister, if Concubine Chen and Mrs. Ding'an Hou forced her to be anxious, no one knew what she would do.

And today happened to let her bump into the big sister disguised to leave the palace, presumably the big sister has already made a move.

"I know I'm wrong, princess." Lu Lin knew that over the years, because the eldest princess had fallen in love with Young Master Sun in the mansion of the eldest princess of Yongshou, the second princess rarely provoked the eldest princess in the palace, and she had always avoided if she could, and avoided if she could.

"Forget it, it's getting late." After Xiao Xuan saw Xiao Lu, he didn't have much heart to stay in the imperial garden. "I'll wait here, you go to Yujun Wang to find it back, and I won't go shopping tonight."

"Yes."

Half a month later, the news that the old lady of Ding'an Hou was ill really reached the palace.

The person from the Ding'an Hou Mansion said that the old lady was in a hurry because the Ding'an Hou Shizi wanted to accept a Chun Er into the palace as a concubine, and she was so angry that she had a sudden heart attack. The Ding'an Hou Mansion invited a series of doctors to the mansion, and all the doctors couldn't stop shaking their heads. The old lady of the straight road is very old, and this heart disease is very serious, but I am afraid that she will not be able to save it.

The Hou of Ding'an was furious, drove the young man out of the house, and invited the family law to beat the prince of Ding'an Hou so that he couldn't even get out of bed.

Because the affairs of the inner courtyard of the Ding'an Hou Mansion have been controlled by the old lady over the years, once the old lady falls, the Ding'an Hou himself is not familiar with general affairs, and the inner courtyard of the Ding'an Hou Mansion has become a pot of porridge in just two or three days.

Ding'anhou had no choice but to personally invite Mrs. Ding'anhou, who had been closed in the nunnery for several years, to preside over the affairs of the inner court.

Although Mrs. Ding'an Hou has been away from home for several years because of the early death of her only two sisters-in-law, she is also a noble daughter of a family and has presided over housework for many years, and things are quickly started.

When Concubine Chen learned the news that her mother was critically ill, she went to Zhaoyang Palace with tears in her eyes, knelt in front of the queen and cried, so that the queen allowed her to take the eldest princess out of the palace to visit the old lady of Ding'anhou.

Mandarin Duck and Brother Parrot got the bad news from the Ding'an Hou Mansion and reported it to Xiao Lu as soon as possible.

Xiao Lu, who was sitting in front of the dressing table combing her long hair, burst out laughing.

"Brother Parrot, my grandmother must not be better." The wish was finally achieved, but I didn't expect Deng Hong to do such a play.

He pretended to be at such a critical juncture for the lord to accept a Chun Qi'er who was ushered in the Qinglou as a concubine, and the old lady of Ding'an Hou was also preparing to send those warblers and Yanyan in his backyard, so that he could be the lord smoothly.

Who would have thought that this demon star suddenly came to such a hand, and the old lady of Ding'an Hou was determined not to let the young man enter the mansion, and Deng Hongbian said that the Qinglou woman already had his blood and bones.

The old lady of Ding'an Hou didn't expect that she would do everything possible to eliminate the intention of those foxes in the mansion to try to take her son to the throne, but Deng Hong provoked an even more unbearable Qinglou woman, and a Qinglou woman was pregnant with the heir of the Hou Mansion, but it made her even more embarrassed.

The old lady of Ding'an Hou did faint under the anger, and the doctor in the house said that the old lady was sick because of restlessness, Deng Hong looked for this opportunity, and privately made an appointment with Yun Mian to hand over the three breaths to her, and instructed her to put a small amount in the old lady's soothing soup every day, and stop poisoning after three days and let Yun Mian return the three breaths. Sure enough, on the second day after the return of the three breaths, the old lady's body was poisoned and suddenly critically ill, and a series of doctors invited by Ding'an Hou confirmed the miraculous effect of the three breaths. So many doctors couldn't diagnose the real cause of the old lady's illness, and they only squeezed out a sentence that caused a heart attack due to anger for a long time.

Xiao Lu didn't expect that when the matter was handed over to Deng Hong, he could do it so beautifully.

Xiao Lu, who finally got her wish, put down the comb in her hand and looked in the mirror with satisfaction.

"Where is my mother now?" Xiao Lu looked at herself in the mirror and asked without looking back.

"Concubine Chen cried and took people to Zhaoyang Palace." The mandarin duck replied.

"I think my mother is going to ask for grace from my mother, my grandmother is critically ill, and my mother is her only daughter, so she naturally wants to go out of the palace to send her grandmother on her last journey." The corners of Xiao Lu's mouth rose, and there was a smile in her eyes. "The queen mother is reasonable and will definitely allow the mother concubine to take me out of the palace to visit my grandmother, my grandmother is critically ill, I should wear plain clothes."

When Brother Parrot saw the red dress on Xiao Lu's body, he hurriedly responded and chose a azure dress from her wardrobe.

Xiao Lu got up and nodded with satisfaction, and the mandarin duck and the parrot brother hurriedly stepped forward to change Xiao Lu's clothes with their dresses.

After listening to Concubine Chen's crying, the queen naturally agreed to Concubine Chen's request and agreed that she would take the eldest princess out of the palace immediately to visit her critically ill mother.

Concubine Chen's palace maid supported Concubine Chen, who was crying so much that she couldn't straighten her waist, and Concubine Chen held on to her spirit to thank the queen, and then was helped out by the palace maids.

"The slave really didn't expect that the eldest princess would move fast." Jinxiu held a bird's nest and walked in from outside.

Although Fang Cai Jinxiu did not serve in front of the queen, Concubine Chen came to Zhaoyang Palace from Yuxiu Road crying all the way to ask for permission to leave the palace.

"It shows that this child has grown up better, and he is a little reckless but not stupid." The queen raised her eyebrows and glanced at Concubine Chen, who was being helped away, shook her head and said. "Concubine Chen's temperament is too weak and really useless, but she is not as good as her daughter."

As soon as Concubine Chen entered the gate of Yuxiu Palace, Xiao Lu, who had just wiped her eyes with a handkerchief dipped in ginger juice, immediately greeted her.

"Mother, I heard from the people in the palace...... Say...... Said that my grandmother was so angry with my cousin that she couldn't afford to get sick, right? Xiao Lu asked with red eyes, holding Concubine Chen's arm with tears in her eyes, and looking incredulous.

"Woo..... My Lul. "Concubine Chen saw her daughter crying, and the tears that were originally persuaded by the palace maids fell again." Your grandmother's illness is so bad that I'm afraid it's not going to be good now. ”

"What?" Xiao Lu's eyes widened in surprise when she heard this, and she asked. "What should we do now, concubine?"

"No... It's okay, I have already asked the queen mother for advice, and she allowed our mother and daughter to leave the palace immediately and go to the Ding'an Hou Mansion. Concubine Chen watched her daughter's tears burst out of her eyes, and she had long forgotten the last time her daughter had a dispute with her mother, and she only felt that she was just a mother, so she reluctantly regained her composure, hugged Xiao Lu and said. Fortunately, you are pure today, so let's leave the palace now. ”

"Yes, Concubine." Xiao Lu sobbed and responded.

Before Concubine Chen and the eldest princess's car arrived, the person who came to report the news had already informed Ding'anhou and Ding'anhou's wife, saying that Concubine Chen's eldest princess had come back to visit the sick.

"Really?" Ding Anhou asked in surprise, the news of his mother's critical illness was delivered to the palace early in the morning, he originally thought that even if Concubine Chen could leave the palace, it would take two days, but he really didn't expect Concubine Chen to come so quickly with the eldest princess.

"Yes, Master Hou." Said the messenger. "Concubine Chen's carriage is halfway there, and it will be there in half a minute."

Ding'anhou had no choice but to ask Mrs. Ding'anhou to watch the old lady's condition in the old lady's courtyard, tidy up her clothes, get up and go to the front hall to greet Concubine Chen and the eldest princess.

Mrs. Ding'an Hou sat quietly in front of the old lady's bed, looking coldly at the old man lying on the bed. This woman who has been tough all her life, this mother-in-law who forced her to recognize her husband's eldest son when she was still grieving the loss of her two sons, she was powerless to refute her request, so she could only hide in the nunnery and live by burning incense and chanting longitudes.

is such a cold-hearted person, who seems to be in good health, but at this time, he is lying in bed and will lose his breath at any time.

Mrs. Ding'anhou thought that she had been reciting Buddhist scriptures for several years, and her heart had already stopped, but at this moment, looking at the old lady of Ding'anhou in such a shape, she was unspeakably willing in her heart.

"Brother." Concubine Chen got out of the carriage and hurriedly called him when she saw Ding'an Hou.

The previous generation of Ding'an Hou was strictly controlled by his wife, even if there were aunts and concubines in the backyard, but there were only a pair of children such as the current Ding'an Hou and Concubine Chen in his life.

Although Ding'an Hou was chaotic, he suddenly saw his own sister who he hadn't met for several years, and he couldn't help but redden.

"The minister has seen Concubine Chen and the eldest princess." Ding'an Hou still went forward to salute according to the number of rites.

"In this situation, my brother doesn't need to be polite." Concubine Chen gently held Ding Anhou's arm and helped him up. "Brother, how is my mother?"

"The doctor said it was just these two days." Ding'an Hou kept watch in front of the sickbed for several nights, and he said dejectedly. "I just thought that you might be able to go out of the palace to see your mother for the last time, so I asked the doctor to use the century-old ginseng to extend my mother's life, so that my mother could wait until you came back."
