Chapter 622: Deadline
Jiao Changqing's voice trembled, sadness came from his heart, his dark eyes looked at Meng Xilan's pale face, and finally couldn't help but take her into his arms, buried his head in her hair, and said in a muffled voice: "Niangniang, no matter what you become, Weichen will accompany you." ”
Meng Xilan chuckled in her heart when she heard this.
Although she had already guessed, hearing him say it in person still made her feel worried.
"How bad could it be?"
Isn't this the worst-case scenario?
Jiao Changqing hugged her tightly, still spitting out two words in a trembling voice: "Will ...... die"
He said it anyway.
The word lightly is like a rock pressing down on the heart.
This kind of disease will not take her life immediately, but it will make her body worse and worse. Her eyes, her ears, her hands, her legs, her heart, her lungs...... Her body's limbs and internal organs will slowly weaken as her condition worsens. She will not see, hear, stand up, walk steadily, and be unable to do anything.
Die...... Meng Xilan slowly lowered her eyes, her expression was slightly stagnant, and her throat choked for a while, only to feel cold.
"When?" After a moment of silence, Meng Xilan asked in a trembling voice.
No one in this world wants to know when they will die. But Meng Xilan is different from others, she is a person who has died once, that kind of despair and bone-eating taste, I am afraid that no one understands it better than her!
She is not afraid of death, but she is afraid that she will go away again with regret and grief, wrapped in blood and tears and become a lonely soul.
Jiao Changqing hugged her shoulder, and his voice was hoarse: "Half a year at most, ...... at least three months"
In the past month, he has searched through the medical books and pharmacopoeia, but he still has no choice. This is a terminal disease, the medicine stone is ineffective, even if Hua Tuo is reincarnated, it cannot be cured!
"Three months? Isn't it a hundred days ......" Meng Xilan read these two words repeatedly, the corners of her lips trembling slightly, "There are still many things in this palace, and they haven't been done." ”
Not long after the emperor ascended the throne, if she let go like this, would he be able to handle it alone? There are so many internal and external troubles in the DPRK, if she is no longer there, the awe in their hearts will also disappear together.
Meng Xilan never felt that she was such an important person, but at this time, her existence was indispensable in the front and back harems!
Hearing this, Jiao Changqing slowly let go of her shoulders, and said quietly: "What Niangniang hasn't finished yet, Weichen will help you do it together." ”
Meng Xilan was silent for a moment before saying, "Don't let the emperor know yet." ”
If he had known about it, the sadness and sorrow would have made him unable to do anything.
"The emperor asks Weichen every day, and Niangniang's body is so weak, I'm afraid I won't be able to hide it for long......"
There is a mother and there is a son. The emperor's mind is as delicate and sensitive as his mother, but he never shows it easily.
"Jiao Changqing, no matter what method you use, you have to make this palace look ruddy. This palace can't let the emperor see the sick side of this palace! ”
It's just a hundred days of hard work, she wants to pave the way for immortality, and she also has to keep this hard-won peace for the Meng family.
"Yes......" Jiao Changqing kowtowed deeply.
At this moment, he looked grovelling, and he no longer had the slightest arrogant look.
Meng Xilan is the calamity of his life, and it is also the medicine of his life, his joys, sorrows, and sorrows are all caused by her and dispersed because of her. Therefore, he has already made up his mind to live and die with her. If she is not there, he will follow her. It's not a deep palace backyard, it's still a netherworld mansion, he always has to be a companion with her! Perhaps, he and she will be reincarnated together, carrying the past of these decades and becoming a new person.
Knowing that her time was running out, Meng Xilan was really shocked at first. But after the horror subsided, an indescribable relief surged in her heart. In her last life, she didn't even live to be twenty years old...... She had to face the loss of her loved ones and the humiliation of being betrayed. In this life, although there are also twists and turns, she at least keeps the Meng family and her children.
God took back her life at this time, and she had no complaints. The time of these decades was originally unexpected by her, and she couldn't be greedy anymore.
When the sky was bright, Jiao Changqing, who had been guarding outside the hall, was a little uneasy.
He walked slowly into the inner sanctum, and sat down beside the mother's bed for a while.
Meng Xilan breathed evenly, and her face was calm, as if she was sleeping.
Jiao Changqing stared at her for a while, and couldn't help but secretly shake his head and cry and laugh.
I'm afraid I won't find a second person like her in this world. She is really not afraid of death, and she can still sleep so peacefully. If you are someone else, when you get to this part, I am afraid that you will have to wash your face with tears every night, and you will no longer be at peace.
Jiao Changqing thought so, and a trace of melancholy rose in his heart.
Why is Providence so confusing? Let the deserving not live, let the damned not die!
Thinking like this, he slowly leaned down and kissed Meng Xilan on the forehead like a dragonfly.
This sudden scene made the orb behind the curtain dumbfounded.
Master Jiao...... How could he do such a lawless thing! It's bold, I don't know what to do!
When Jiao Changqing walked out, Baozhu looked at him coldly: "What are you doing again?" ”
When Jiao Changqing saw her, his face was calm and calm, and he said in a calm tone: "Niangniang's health is not good, and she sleeps shallowly, so there are not too many people who stay overnight in the future!" ”
Baozhu smiled lightly when he heard this, glaring at him, his eyes seemed to be angry: "When is Cining Palace, when is it the turn of Lord Jiao to order the slaves?" ”
Jiao Changqing glanced at her and walked away.
They don't know about Niangniang's illness, if they knew, they were afraid that they would have no time to care, but they were afraid that they would have to wash their faces with tears all day long.
Early the next morning, when Baozhu was combing her hair, she mentioned what had happened last night.
"Niangniang, Lord Jiao was too presumptuous last night, he actually treated Niangniang...... He's the most trusted person in his mother, how can he? ”
Meng Xilan had long black hair like ink, although she couldn't see herself in the mirror, her eyes were still facing the direction of the mirror.
"Imperial Physician Jiao is a very important person to this palace. Especially now, this palace can't do without her......"
Hearing this, Baozhu's hand trembled and accidentally broke one of Niangniang's hair.
"Slaves ...... damned"
Recently, Niangniang's hair has fallen out very much, one by one, so every hair is extremely precious.
Meng Xilan raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this, and said lightly: "Don't move the word "damn" on your lips in the future. There are rules for everything in the palace, but this palace doesn't like these two words, so don't say it again in the future. ”
Baozhu froze when he heard this, and he hurriedly lowered his head and admitted his mistake.
"The slave won't be anymore, the slave won't talk nonsense anymore."
"Niangniang, do you still have a headache when you wake up this morning?"
Meng Xilan closed her eyes: "It's still a little." ”
In fact, Jiao Changqing has already changed spices for her, all of which have analgesic effects.
"The slave will give you a press and a rub."
Meng Xilan waved her hand: "No need, you clean up for the palace, the palace is going to Taihua Palace." ”
"Huh?" Baozhu was slightly surprised when he heard this.
Niangniang is unwell, and her eyes are convenient, do you want to go over to visit the emperor?
Meng Xilan sighed: "It must pass." ”
Listening to Jiao Changqing's meaning yesterday, her body will become more and more uncontrollable, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to walk on the ground when she turns around.
Inside the Taihua Palace, everything is as usual.
Meng Xilan couldn't see Zhou Youchen's face, but just sat with him for a while.
Just as he was about to get up, Zhou Youchen suddenly shook her hand.
He has always been cold, and his hands are cold, but today, Meng Xilan's hands are colder than hers.
"Lan'er." He called her name clearly, and Meng Xilan couldn't see his face, but just responded: "Hmm." ”
He didn't say anything but kept repeating those two words.
Meng Xilan listened quietly, and a sour feeling suddenly surged in her heart. If she is gone, Zhou Youchen will be completely reduced to a pitiful person. He was originally a poor person, but now she has become such an idiot and stupid appearance, which is even more pathetic.
Jiao Changqing learned that Meng Xilan went out of the palace without authorization, and said very angrily: "Niangniang, the person who should be most worried now should be yourself!" ”
Meng Xilan heard his excited tone, so she said lightly: "If the palace is gone, the emperor will only have the emperor by his side." How do you want this palace not to worry about him? ”
Jiao Changqing clenched his fists and said in a low voice: "Niangniang, don't go out again in the future." The spring is cold, and if you catch a cold, Niangniang's health will become worse......"
With her current physical strength, even if she sits for too long, she will feel tired, let alone move around. Moreover, in case she has a headache, there is a possibility that she will faint at any time!
Meng Xilan smiled disappreciatively: "This palace has always disliked pretending to be sick. Even if I lie down all day, my body will be fine? ”
She suddenly sighed: "Forget it, you can do it according to the heart of this palace." Let Hongu spend this last time well......"
When Jiao Changqing heard her say this, his face changed, and he was about to speak, but was stopped by Meng Xilan: "Since I entered the palace at the age of fourteen, it has been like a windmill that keeps spinning, constantly spinning and turning. ”
Jiao Changqing's eyes gradually sank, he accompanied her all the way, how could he not know her hardships.
"Weichen understands, that's why Weichen wants to leave the palace with his mother. It's just that it hasn't been able to materialize......"
Meng Xilan chuckled when she heard this: "Where else can I go?" has been chained to the capital and the palace all his life. In fact, as you all know, this palace can't do without here......"
All the time, there are always too many things, too many people, holding her tightly.
Meng Xilan raised her head slightly, turned her head in the direction of the window, and said, "Even if there are still a hundred days." In the last 100 days of this last 100 days, Hongu wants to live according to his own heart......"
Jiao Changqing was heartbroken and took a deep breath.
"In these last 100 days, this palace will do a hundred things."
"Please tell the ......"
Meng Xilan's fingertips tapped on the table: "The first thing, the palace wants to return to the Xikang Palace." Master, it's up to you to be the lobbyist of the main palace. Persuade the emperor for the palace. ”
Jiao Changqing frowned and was puzzled: "Niangniang, why did you go to that kind of cold place?" Don't you want to accompany the emperor? ”
They have a deep love for mother and son, is she really willing to do it?
Meng Xilan smiled lightly: "This palace has been with the emperor for a long time. From October to the present, this palace has been with him and cared for him. Now he has to get used to it slowly, and there is no life in this palace. ”
In fact, she didn't want Changsheng to see her haggard and sick appearance that would deteriorate in the future.
"In the emperor's mind, this palace is a person who never admits defeat and never gives up easily. If the emperor sees the palace, he is unconscious and terminally ill, is it too cruel. ”
Jiao Changqing shook his head and said: "Although the emperor is a king, as a son, he should be filial to his mother......
"No!" Meng Xilan opened her mouth to interrupt him: "This palace doesn't want such filial piety. As a monarch, you should focus on the society and the people of the world! Bengong is sick, staying by his side will only make him miserable! ”
"Only a mother who does not let her children suffer is a good mother." Meng Xilan has made up her mind: "This palace is going to Xikang Palace and be with the Emperor." ”
Because of that distress, Jiao Changqing still became Meng Xilan's lobbyist.
He proposed to the emperor to let Meng Xilan go to the palace to recuperate.
"It's remote, it's in the mountains, it's deserted. How can the queen mother live comfortably? ”
"Back to the emperor, the trees on the mountains on the outskirts are lush, the air is clear, and there is spring water that can be used as medicine, which is beneficial to Niangniang's body and not harmful."
Changsheng didn't want to agree, but thinking that his mother was suffering from illness, he just wanted her to live more comfortably.
He stared at Jiao Changqing tightly and asked in a deep voice, "Jiao Changqing, can I still trust you?" Will you be able to heal the queen mother's eyes? ”
Jiao Changqing lowered his eyes and bowed his head, silent for a long time.
"Why didn't you answer if I asked you again?"
Jiao Changqing pondered for a moment before he slowly spoke: "Weichen really can't promise anything to the emperor......"
Changsheng listened to his words, his eyes sank, and the expression on his face became a little hideous.
"Do you know that I am not as soft-hearted as the queen mother, and I can cut off your head at any time!"
Jiao Changqing smiled bitterly when he heard this: "The emperor doesn't have to be angry. If the mother has something, the minister will never live for one more day! ”
He and she have always been fellow travelers, and they have walked through many dangers side by side! In the future, even if there is only one Huangquan Road left in front of him, he will accompany her!
In March, it is said that it is warm or not, and it is said that it is cold or not.
Meng Xilan accompanied the Emperor Taishang out of the palace again and went to the palace to recuperate. I thought that the only people who accompanied me were palace people and doctors, but who knows, Song Qing'er and her sister will also go together.
Meng Xilan didn't object, she just felt that the palace was deserted, and it was better if there were more people.
In fact, Song Qing'er followed her regardless of proportion, just because she had a bad premonition in her heart! She always felt that Meng Xilan had something to hide, and it was a great event.
On the day she left the palace, Meng Xilan had an unbearable headache, and the pain made her sweat cold.
Baozhu watched from the sidelines, and was anxious for a while. "Mother, since you're not feeling well, let's start another day. Actually, there's no need to be in such a hurry......"
Meng Xilan leaned on the soft pillow and said with a weak breath: "How can you not be in a hurry...... Hongu, there are still things to do tomorrow tomorrow! Time is running out! ”
