Concubine De's silver paused suddenly, she looked at Tuoba Lin in disbelief and said, "Lin'er, what did you say?" ”

Tuoba Lin's big eyes were already full of tears, and he repeated again: "Mother, you will die." ”

The smile on Concubine De's face had gradually dissipated, and was gradually replaced by seriousness, and she glanced coldly at the surrounding eunuchs and palace maids, as well as the nursing mothers and grandmothers standing aside.

She is a long-time high-ranking person, and there is a faint anger in her eyes, which makes people dare not look directly, especially the two nursing mothers and grandmothers who serve beside Tuoba Lin, and they bow their heads with weak hearts.

Concubine De took all the expressions of the people into her eyes.

Fu You looked down at Tuoba Lin and said, "Lin'er, these words are all false, as long as Lin'er eats well, how about Grandma Taifei take Lin'er to see your mother?" ”

Tuoba Lin's eyes seemed to be lit with a candle flame, and a small flame was beating in it, and he didn't speak, just stared at Concubine De tightly, Aunt Ruizhi frowned and said: "Concubine Niangniang, I'm afraid this is not appropriate, Xicai people have now been beaten into the cold palace, or is it the will of His Majesty himself, if at this time, you bring the eldest prince over, I am afraid that it will make Your Majesty unhappy." ”

Tuoba Lin got the promise of Concubine De, and happily ate the glutinous rice cakes in his bowl, with a small mouth stuffed full, as if as long as he ate more, he could see He Xi faster.

"The mourning family has its own way, after a while, after dinner, you go to the Tai Hospital to pass on the Tai doctor, and say that the mourning family has a headache, and call the Tai doctor to come and see." Concubine De instructed lightly, Rui Zhi has served the concubine for decades, and knows that the concubine's body has always been healthy, and she pays great attention to maintenance on weekdays, and there is no headache at all.

Concubine De didn't seem to want to explain, coaxed Tuoba Lin to have lunch, and asked the nurses and mothers to take Tuoba Lin down to rest, Tuoba Lin was a little unhappy, holding Concubine De's hand, Concubine De knew that the child was worried about things, stroked his arm and said softly: "Lin'er go to rest first, Grandma Taifei will definitely take you to see the mother concubine today." ”

Tuoba Lin looked at Concubine De with some disbelief, obviously he had begun to doubt Concubine De's words, he looked back at the nurses and grandmothers, the nurses and grandmothers had also coaxed him like this before, he shook his head, and still didn't let go.

Concubine De asked with some doubts: "How could Lin'er not believe Grandma Taifei?" ”

The nurses and mothers on the side said sneeringly: "The eldest prince refused to sleep before, and the slaves and maids coaxed the eldest prince like this-" After finishing speaking, he saw Concubine De looking at him with a cold gaze.

Concubine De said coldly: "Although the eldest prince is small, he is also beginning to be sensible, if you are slaves in the future, what kind of tongue do you chew in front of the master, don't say that the mourning family can't tolerate you!" ”

The nurse and mother were so frightened that she knelt on the ground with a puff, and begged for mercy again and again: "The concubine forgives her sins, the concubine atonements, those words were not taught by the slaves to the eldest prince, they were whispered by the slaves and maids in private when the eldest prince was resting, but they didn't want to be listened to by the eldest prince, the slaves and maids should die, the slaves and maids should die." ”

Saying that, she stretched out her hand and kept slapping her mouth, Tuoba Lin snuggled up to Concubine De's side, obviously a little scared, Aunt Ruizhi saw this, and hurriedly scolded the nurse.

Concubine De was angry in her heart, but she felt more sorry for Tuoba Lin, who knew what death meant at a young age, something that should not exist in a child's world.

She put her forehead against Tuoba Lin's forehead, and said in a more and more gentle voice: "Grandma Taifei promised Lin'er something, and Grandma Taifei will definitely do it, Lin'er believes that Grandma Taifei is okay?" ”

Tuoba Lin felt the warmth on his body, and finally nodded vigorously, and was taken down by the nurse and grandmother, after this, the palace people serving around him became more and more concerned, and no one dared to say anything in front of him.

"Concubine Niangniang, is that slave going to the hospital now?" Aunt Ruizhi waited until everyone had left before asking.

"Change the clothes of the mourners first." Concubine De sat in front of the bronze mirror and commanded with her head sideways.

Rui Zhi served the concubine and changed out of the repeated palace clothes, changed into regular clothes, took off all the beads and ornaments of agate on her sideburns, tied a forehead belt between her foreheads, and packed up Rui Zhi before going to the Tai Hospital.

When he came back, he brought not only the imperial doctor, but also Tuoba Chen, the little eunuch guarding the door tried to figure it out, but Tuoba Chen waved his hand to stop him, he politely asked Rui Zhi who followed aside: "When did the concubine get sick?" ”

Aunt Ruizhi bowed her head obediently, and said with her eyes and nose and heart: "After lunch today, the concubine felt a little headache, and the slave was worried about the concubine's body, so she went to the hospital, but she didn't expect to disturb Your Majesty." ”

Tuoba Chen said: "It's okay, Imperial Doctor Wei, you go in with me and have a look." ”

Behind the two of them was Wei Zhongliang, he answered and followed Tuoba Chen into the inner hall, the hall was burning with soothing incense, Tuoba Chen stood outside the bead curtain, and said inside: "Concubine, I heard that the concubine was sick, so I came with the imperial doctor to take a look." ”

After a while, hearing the sound of Suo Suo inside, Rui Zhi hurriedly went in to serve, and at the same time, Concubine De's somewhat lazy and tired voice came out and said, "The emperor has a heart, come in." ”

Fu complained again: "Didn't you just ask you to quietly invite the imperial doctor to come over, why did Jing alarm the emperor?" ”

Rui Zhi just hung his head and didn't speak, and Tuoba Chen said: "I want to come over, the concubine's body has always been healthy, how can she suddenly have a headache?" ”

Concubine De rubbed her forehead and said, "Xu is old, and his energy is not as good as before." ”

Tuoba Chen naturally knew that she was just polite words, and asked tentatively: "But Lin'er made a fuss and disturbed the purity of the concubine?" ”

Speaking of the eldest prince, Concubine De seemed to mention something sad, covered the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and sighed: "Lin'er is very well-behaved. It's just that the people below are not worried, and they don't know which palace person they heard chewing their tongues, saying that his mother was dead, and the child was depressed for several days. ”

Concubine De's tone was slightly choked, and Imperial Physician Wei stood aside with his head bowed, and persuaded when he saw this: "Concubine De takes care of her body, she is in a good mood, and her illness will go away quickly." ”

Rui Zhi stepped forward to help Concubine De along her chest, and Wei Zhongliang stepped forward to probe the pulse before saying: "Concubine Niangniang, the blood is insufficient, you should rest well, and the minister will prescribe some nourishing prescriptions for you, even if you are not sick, you can strengthen your body, and it will not be hindered to take more clothes." ”

Rui Zhi followed Wei Zhongliang to prescribe the prescription, Concubine De sighed lightly, and for a while there was no sound in the room, and the soothing incense seemed to be a little stronger, which made people breathless.

He stood up and walked to the window, just in time to see the plane tree on the side, under the greenery, the nurse and mother were playing with Tuoba Lin, such a scene, he could often see it when he was in Lingxiu Palace, but the difference was that at that time, it was He Xi who accompanied Tuoba Lin by his side, and the look on Lin'er's face was also very different.

It's not like I'm so preoccupied at this time.

When the words "heavy heart" appeared in Tuoba Chen's heart, his whole person was suddenly shocked, Lin'er is a child, and he should be the most carefree age.

He sighed, turned around and returned to Concubine De's bed, who was closing her eyes and recuperating, as if she had not noticed Tuoba Chen's movements at all.

"Concubine, the people below are not happy, you just send it away, why suffer for your body, in a few months, it will be your birthday. I have already received a letter of state from Xiliang, and Xiliang will send envoys at that time, if I see you like this, I am afraid that I will complain that I have not honored you well. Tuoba Chen quipped.

Speaking of Xilianglai, Concubine De's expression was a little nostalgic, since she and her relatives had not returned to Xiliang for decades, and I didn't know if there was a chance to return to my homeland in this life, she smiled bitterly: "The mourning family has an old bone, and the loess is half buried, and the emperor should not take the mourning family to find happiness." ”

However, people who can meet Xiliang can also chat for comfort, Tuoba Chen saw that Concubine De seemed to be more cheerful, so he continued: "I am serious, the concubine has a good rest today, Lin'er I will take it first, and I will send it back to the concubine later." ”

A slight smile appeared in Concubine De's half-closed eyes, and she nodded slowly: "It's okay, your father and son should be closer to each other." ”

When Aunt Rui Zhi came back, Tuoba Chen had already left, Concubine De slowly untied the forehead band on her forehead, and got up from the bed, Rui Zhi hurriedly walked over to help Concubine De put on her shoes, and said, "Your Majesty took the eldest prince away, but-"

Concubine De smiled: "I should have taken him to see his mother, people, you have to believe that you have seen it with your own eyes, and children are no exception." Rui Zhi didn't expect that Concubine De didn't mention Xicai people in half a sentence, so Tuoba Chen would be able to willingly take the eldest prince to the cold palace to see her.

Concubine De sat in front of the bronze mirror by herself, a pair of slender and fair-skinned but no longer so tender hands covered her eyebrows, Rao is no matter how much she pays attention to maintenance, but after all, she can't keep up with the pace of the years, she said slowly: "Ruizhi, is the mourning family old?" ”

Rui Zhi walked to the side of the concubine, and the eyes of the two looked at each other in the bronze mirror and said, "Concubine Niangniang, look at the slave?" Rui Zhi said that she even made a strange face, and Concubine De was amused by her, and said, "At such an old age, she is still the same as a little girl, she is really ashamed." ”

Saying that, there were tears in her eyes, and Rui Zhi helped her gently hold the messy ink hair behind her little by little, and then whispered: "No matter how old the slave is, it is the slave's duty to share the worries of the mother." Now there is another prince, our Shoukang Palace, but it is becoming more and more lively. ”
