，。

Yang Qiqi was talking with the Queen Mother in the car, and after about half an hour, he heard the gong sound a few times, which was the start of the journey.

The Queen Mother walked for a day, obviously a little tired, and didn't ask about someone stopping the emperor.

When they arrived at Taiji Palace, Yang Qiqi and Murong Zhao accompanied the Queen Mother and Emperor Yonghui back to the palace, and first asked Caiping and Nuniang and others to take Murong Cao back to the East Palace.

When he came out of the Hundred Blessing Palace, Murong Zhao had already finished talking to Emperor Yonghui. was about to come to look for Yang Qiqi, he saw Yang Qiqi, and said with a smile: "After a day's journey, Yun'er is a leather monkey again, so I didn't trouble you, right?" Let's go back, let Zhuyi come to take a look at you first, and then rest. ”

He naturally took Yang Qiqi's hand and wanted to send her to the sedan chair. Yang Qiqi took his hand and said softly: "I've been in the car for a day, let's go back." This is the road that the two of us used to walk together. ”

Murong Zhao Qingjun's face showed a warm smile and nodded, but before Yang Qiqi could come back to his senses, he quickly hugged her.

Yang Qiqi was so shocked that he wrapped his neck tightly, and said with a slight annoyance: "What are you doing?" ”

Murong Zhao smiled and said, "You feel bored in a sedan chair, but you are tired in the end." When Imperial Doctor Tan checked your pulse last time, he also said that when you were born before, it really cost you too much energy, and you should take care of it on weekdays. Now I'm carrying you, isn't it the best of both worlds? ”

Yang Qiqi leaned peacefully into Murong Zhao's arms and did not object again. She still remembered that in the ninth year of Yonghui, she and Murong Zhao had to go back and forth on this palace road almost every day. The past is still vaguely in front of us, but nearly 20 years have passed.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Murong Zhao lowered his head to look at her, and asked with a smile, "What are you looking at?" ”

Yang Qiqi said with a smile: "I remembered that when we were children, when we first came to Chang'an, I never thought that I would be able to walk this road with you again." ”

Murong Zhao was also quite embarrassed, and hugged Yang Qiqi tightly as if he was suddenly yesterday, and said, "At that time, I just heard the bad news, and I didn't dare to take this road or go to the Baifu Palace. Because every time I walk to the Hall of Blessings like this, I always feel that I can still see you. But when I got there, I couldn't see you anymore, and I felt so uncomfortable in my heart that I really didn't want to think about it again. Okay now, I'll accompany you every day to say hello to the imperial grandmother. ”

Yang Qiqi also tightened Murong Zhao's neck, his ear was close to his heart, listening to his sonorous heartbeat, but there was a little sadness in his heart, "The imperial doctors of the imperial hospital all said that it will be difficult for the Queen Mother to survive this winter." I have a feeling that the body of the Queen Mother is indeed different from before, the serious illness born in Yuan Yue has not fully recovered yet, I am really afraid of ......"

Murong Zhao let out a long sigh and said to Yang Qiqi: "The palace maid who stopped the royal driver today is Su Xin by Concubine Xian's side. ”

Yang Qiqi was greatly surprised, and said, "Su Xin? How could Su Xin suddenly appear in Chang'an? ”

Murong Zhao frowned, and said without hearing sadness and joy: "Su Xin said that Concubine Xian asked people to send several letters back, but they were not sent to my father. said that Concubine Xian's health is not as good as day by day, but I am afraid that there are not many days left. She didn't care about it, but she and her father's children couldn't be in Qingcheng Mountain all their lives. ”

When Yang Qiqi heard this, he was even more surprised. In fact, in the early years, she sent someone to follow Wen Yaojia all the way to Qingcheng Mountain. However, because she is praying for the blessing of the country, she is also the concubine of Emperor Yonghui. Therefore, the Queen Mother secretly issued an edict to let the defenders of Jianyang Dao guard at all times. said it was a guard, but it was like house arrest. The people sent by Yang Qiqi in the past will naturally be gone.

But Wen Yaojia suddenly appeared with a child, and such a thing is too weird. Yang Qiqi asked Murong Zhao in shock: "How old is that child, and when was it born?" Why didn't you know anything about it before? ”

Murong Zhao bowed his head quite heavily, and said, "But I don't know at all, I have sent people to watch Concubine Xian openly and secretly." But the news that came back before and after was just burning incense and praying for blessings every day. When I hear such letters today, I am like you. ”

Yang Qiqi felt that this reason was not simple, and asked Murong Zhao again: "Your people are also watching, if she wrote a letter back, how could she not send it to the imperial front?" ”

Murong Zhao pondered and pondered, but he really couldn't be sure of anything, so he only guessed slowly: "Concubine Zhang Shufei's power in the palace is getting bigger and bigger, the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion and the Zheng Guogong Mansion are gone, and the Yongping Marquis Mansion is coming from behind. Especially after Zhang Ziyong's attack on the lord, furthermore, the defenders of Jianyang Dao were indeed within Zhang Ziyong's sphere of influence. About touching Zhang Shufei out of selfishness, she secretly moved these messy hands and feet! stopped the news that Concubine Xian was going to be sent back to the palace. ”

Yang Qiqi felt that Murong Zhao's guess was very reasonable, although there were still some inexplicable doubts in his heart, he also believed most of them, and his heart became even more uncomfortable, and said: "I can't fake this kind of thing if I want to, when she comes back, let the imperial doctor take a look, and you will know if it's true or not." If she really has few days to go, the child is also pitiful. What did Your Majesty say? Do you want her to come back? ”

Murong Zhao snorted and said, "I have already sent someone to pick it up, and I also asked the Imperial Doctor Ning, who is one of the best in the palace, to accompany him, saying that if there is anything, he can also help diagnose and treat it." The father still has feelings for Concubine Xian. I looked at it, and I felt very uncomfortable. She came back this time, if she served her father well, we wouldn't mention it before, and that's it. ”

Emperor Yonghui ordered someone to take Concubine Xian back to the palace, so naturally he couldn't hide it from the Queen Mother. When Yang Qiqi went to ask for peace again, the Queen Mother couldn't help but muttered to her: "People's hearts are biased." You see, Concubine De has been worshiping the Buddha on the mountain for so many years, and she has not seen the emperor worry. Now the palace maid beside Concubine Xian said a word, and the emperor called back regardless of it! ”

Yang Qiqi hurriedly persuaded the Queen Mother softly, and said: "It is said that Concubine Xian's health is not very good, in the end, it is the person next to her father, and now she has a child, so naturally she can't let herself go outside." Why bother with this! Wouldn't it be good for you to think that when someone comes back, you will bring back a grandson? ”

The Queen Mother smiled disapprovingly, and slowly spoke, "How many grandchildren do I have?" There are more than two of them, and I don't remember what they looked like. I don't like my grandson. I just like the great-grandson you gave birth to me. Hey, why didn't you bring Yun'er with you today? ”

Yang Qiqi said with a smile: "Yun'er just returned to the East Palace, and he likes it everywhere, and he sends Ming'er and Wanyue to the palace every morning, but he can't catch his shadow, and he runs crazy all over the yard." ”

The Queen Mother nodded, and then asked, "Is your master good, is he still in Nanliang?" ”

In fact, every time there is news of Pei Xin, Yang Qiqi always tells the Queen Mother very tactfully as a new thing. The day before yesterday, she finished talking, but the Queen Mother asked again as if she couldn't remember what happened before.

Yang Qiqi felt uncomfortable, but he still smiled on his face and said, "It's good, I said that I plan to go back to Chang'an for the New Year this year." ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, her eyes became crystal clear in an instant, and this expression was very similar to the appearance of Yun'er seeing something good now.

"When was the last time he spent the New Year in Chang'an? It was about the fifth year of Rende, and it was still the year when I spent it at my house. When others give New Year's gifts, it is not gold, silver and jade, or hairpin ring jewelry. He was okay and sent a couplet. I still remember the couplet's paper ...... "The Queen Mother has no details, she has said a lot, and she is tired and sleeps when she talks about it."

Hui Silk saw the Queen Mother fall asleep, so she dared to cry, didn't say anything else, only asked Yang Qiqi with some embarrassment: "Niangniang, can you ask Mr. Pei to go back to Chang'an earlier?" The slave and maid are only afraid, the queen mother ......" Hui Silk said this, choked up and couldn't continue.

Yang Qiqi came from sorrow, and naturally could understand the queen mother's thoughts. She whispered to Hui Silk: "The Queen Mother has been a little confused these days, but my aunt must be sober. These words are just for me, but no one else can know about them, not anyone. If the Queen Mother says it again, you can try to give it to you. ”

Hui Silk naturally knew that the matter was serious, and together with Yang Qiqi, she nodded.

When he returned to the East Palace, Yang Qiqi immediately wrote a letter and sent it to Nanliang quickly. She thought, if Pei Xin couldn't see the Queen Mother for the last time, she would regret it, right? She didn't know how deep the friendship between the two was. But what she knows is that the priceless set of gold-inlaid jade longevity locks that the Queen Mother gave to Wanyue was once given to the Queen Mother by Pei Xin.

In May, the summer heat became hotter day by day, and the Queen Mother's health deteriorated. Spend more time asleep than you do when you're awake.

Because the Queen Mother was unwell, the palace banquet of the Duanyang Festival was just Murong Zhao, Yang Qiqi's family, and King Su and King Rong's family accompanied by the Baifu Palace, which made the Queen Mother look happy and happy.

On the second day of the Duanyang Festival, Hui Silk arrived at the East Palace early. As soon as she saw Yang Qiqi, she first burst into tears and said, "Princess, go and take a look at the Queen Mother!" Early this morning, the Queen Mother got up before dawn. I had to ask the slave and maid to find her the apricot-red clothes. Before, the Queen Mother thought that the clothes were too gorgeous and light, and she didn't wear them once after she made them. But today, I have to let the slave and maid turn it out. He also said that we should prepare and go to Leyouyuan with you. The slave and maid looked at the Queen Mother's spirit, don't be, return to the light......" Hui Silk said this, and her face showed an indescribable horror.

Yang Qiqi also frowned, and said: "At the moment, neither of us can be the master, my aunt will go back to the Baifu Hall first, and you will agree regardless of what the Queen Mother says." This is not yet the time of the last dynasty, so I will go to the Taiji Hall and inform His Majesty and the Prince. In such a situation as the Queen Mother, leaving the palace is not a joke! ”

Hui Silk nodded hurriedly, because of the Queen Mother's abnormality, she obviously lost her former sense of proportion.

Yang Qiqi didn't say anything more, and hurried to the Taiji Hall with Caiping and the others.
