Chapter 697: Concubine Ling died of illness
"Mother, you won't ......"
Ming Qiao almost interrupted Concubine Ling's words in tears, but obviously Concubine Ling didn't mean to stop there, I saw her sigh a little helplessly, and then said: "Qiao'er, you have grown up and married a woman, you have to understand, in this world, parting is the norm......"
"In the future, there will be many, many people you care about who will be forced to part with you, you have to get used to it."
"Don't, mother, you can't leave me, you clearly promised me, you can't just abandon me like this......"
"Qiao'er ......" Concubine Ling stroked the top of Mingqiao's head in distress, and this party turned her eyes to look at Wu Liang again.
Seeing that Concubine Ling shifted her gaze to her face, Wu Liang raised her eyes and looked at Concubine Ling, and said in a shallow voice: "Concubine Ling, you say, I listen." ”
Concubine Ling nodded slowly, "I know that you are a good boy, and in the future, Qiao'er will probably entrust you to take care of it." ”
The emperor who was hugging Concubine Ling did not speak, and his eyes became more and more silent, as if he had nothing to lose after experiencing the loss of his most beloved person.
But the figure sitting there seemed inexplicably lonely.
Wu Liang nodded with a heavy face, and at this time, he saw Concubine Ling turn her gaze to Ming Xiu and Chu Nian on the side again, Chu Nian immediately understood, and pulled Ming Xiu forward to take a step, only to see Concubine Ling slightly arouse a weak smile.
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, can I ask you one last thing?"
A glimmer of light flickered in Ming Xiu's long and narrow eyes, "Okay, Niangniang said." ”
"I want you to take good care of them for the sake of the face that I've done for the county, okay?"
Seeing that Ming Xiu frowned, the person on the couch hurriedly said: "You don't have to take care of it too much, after all, they need to experience many things by themselves, and the concubines only ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to take a look at the concubines, don't ask Qiao'er to ...... again."
A violent cough interrupted Concubine Ling's words, Ming Qiao was suddenly flustered, or the medical god on the side stepped forward and handed the warm water to the palace maid on the side, and the emperor supported Concubine Ling, and finally the water went down.
Seeing that Concubine Ling finally eased up a little, this party looked up at Ming Xiu with a pleading face, and Ming Xiu nodded slowly and said, "Don't worry, Niangniang, Lone will naturally take care of the Fifth Emperor Sister." ”
Ming Xiu's words came out, and Concubine Fang smiled with relief, "The concubine knows that His Royal Highness has always been the most important person for friendship. ”
As she spoke, she turned her gaze to Chu Nian again, opened her mouth slightly, but did not speak, Chu Nian bowed slightly, and there was a faint light in her eyes, this Fang saw Concubine Ling turn her eyes to look at Ming Qiao again, and sighed silently, "Qiao'er, in the future, you only have one father left, don't let your father worry, you know?" ”
When these words fell, the emperor on the side suddenly looked at him, he had never paid attention to Ming Xiu and several princesses on weekdays, and he only had the queen in his heart, and he even refused to take a second look at the other concubines, but now it seems that he owes something to Concubine Ling and Concubine Liang who did his best to assist Ming Xiu.
Concubine Ling's gaze moved away from the emperor's face and fell on Ming Qiao in front of her, and her voice fluttered out, "Your Majesty, the concubine wants to talk to Qiao'er alone." ”
When these words fell, Fang saw that the emperor nodded slowly, this party moved away from the couch, and Ming Xiu on the side hurriedly stepped forward to help, he said helplessly: "Let's withdraw first, if there is something...... I'm waiting outside, and Qiao'er remembers to call me. ”
Ming Qiao didn't look back, the emperor sighed again, and this party was relieved by Ming Xiu's support
Step out.
Chu Nian, Wu Liang and the others followed behind, and before the medical god left the main hall, he didn't forget to look back at the weak Concubine Ling on the couch and Concubine Ling's collapsed Mingqiao, and shook his head helplessly.
Wu Liang's eyes were red, and he slightly turned his head to look at the medical god beside him, "Uncle Shi, is it possible that Concubine Ling's illness really can't be cured?" ”
The god of medicine glanced at him, then withdrew his gaze, and finally shook his head helplessly.
Chu Nian glanced at Wu Liang's distressed face, and his eyes flashed slightly.
From night to dawn, the group stayed in the courtyard in front of the palace and waited for the last movement, even the emperor did not leave an inch, and after standing like this all night, his legs were already stiff.
Chu Nian stood beside Ming Xiu, staring intently at the empty door of the main hall, a glimmer of light in his eyes.
Seeing Ming Xiu on the side, he suddenly spoke: "In the future...... When the Medicine King Valley is rebuilt, does Wu Liang want to leave with Ming Qiao? ”
Chu Nian looked sideways slightly, Wu Liangzheng was standing thoughtfully next to the God of Medicine, she sighed helplessly, "The people of the Medicine King Valley only stayed for me to help them in the past, and I originally had no right to restrain their freedom. ”
Ming Xiu nodded slowly, "It's okay to go to the Medicine King Valley, if everything returns to calm, the Medicine King Valley is not a paradise, or the kind that others dare not provoke." ”
Before the destruction of the Medicine King Valley, they did not belong to any force, and they were in their own realm without any disturbances.
If Ming Qiao goes to the Medicine King Valley in the future, Wu Liang will definitely reopen the Gu King Branch, and at that time, even if it is inside the Medicine King Valley, no one will dare to provoke Ming Qiao easily.
Besides, Concubine Ling is right, there are some things, even if you want to hide, you can't hide from them.
Seeing Chu Nian slowly nodding in agreement, Ming Xiu looked sideways, and his narrow eyes swept over her face, "Is it time for the Su family's ancestral tomb to be renovated?" ”
At the mention of the Su family, Chu Nian's face was stunned for a moment, and he saw Ming Xiu sighing helplessly, "Okay, when everything is settled, it's not too late to spare this time to settle this matter." ”
Chu Nian's eyes flashed slightly, and he didn't answer, at this time, there was a heart-rending cry in the hall, and Wu Liang and the medical god, who realized something, suddenly rushed into the hall, Chu Nian and Ming Xiu followed, and the emperor didn't lag behind them a few steps.
When everyone re-entered the hall, Ming Qiao was lying in front of the couch and cried bitterly, "Mother, mother, mother......"
The man on the couch had closed his eyes as if he had fallen asleep.
She slept peacefully, still the face that was not amazing but inexplicably remembered in her heart, but at the moment her eyes were closed, and she would not open her eyes again to look at Ming Qiao.
This is convenient to see Wu Liang stepped forward to hug the helplessly crying Ming Qiao into his arms, Ming Qiao seemed to grasp the last life-saving straw, only to see her grab Wu Liang's collar, and then bury her head in Wu Liang's arms, and the cry was drowned in Wu Liang's clothes.
The emperor seemed to be quite guilty, he turned his head sideways and looked at Ming Xiu beside him, his eyes were vast as if he had aged more than ten years in an instant.
Without waiting for the emperor to speak, he saw Ming Xiu nodding clearly, and then turned around and walked towards the outside of the hall.
Chu Nian followed behind him, and the atmosphere was extremely heavy for a while.
Chu Nian followed Ming Xiu's side and watched him hurriedly handle Concubine Ling's funeral, from dawn to dusk, Ming Xiu finally found free time, only to see him sitting on the edge of the study, "You are also tired, why don't you stay in His Royal Highness the Prince, there is no one in the Chu family, and it is not interesting for you to go back." ”
Chu Nian shook his head helplessly, looked at Ming Xiu who was full of tiredness, and said lightly: "If Your Highness is tired, go to sleep first, I'll go back to the Chu family......"
Before the words fell, Chu Nian suddenly noticed a huge force coming from his arm, and then, his body fell into an embrace uncontrollably, Chu Nian twisted his eyebrows slightly, and Ming Xiu's deep voice came from behind him.
"Don't move, hold for a while, and you'll be fine for a while."
Chu Nian's brows relaxed, and this party obediently stayed in Ming Xiu's arms and stopped talking.
After a while, I saw that Ming Xiu let go of his embrace, Chu Nian stood up, turned his eyes to look at Ming Xiu's stall, and saw Ming Xiu's eyes flashing slightly and raised his head, and said lightly: "Then you go back to rest first, you must be tired after staying with me for so long." ”
Chu Nian shook his head helplessly, turned around and walked out of the door.
Outside the door, Mingyue stood at the door at some point, Chu Nian remembered that when Concubine Fang had an accident, Concubine Liang's mother and daughter had been standing on the side, but this matter had nothing to do with them, so even if they wanted to cry, it would not be their turn.
But come to think of it, Concubine Ling died, and Concubine Liang must not be very happy.
Seeing Chu Nian coming out of the Ming Xiu room, Mingyue raised her eyes slightly, and stopped talking.
Chu Nian looked at Mingyue suspiciously, "Third Princess, what's wrong?" ”
Mingyue lowered her gaze to Chu Nian's face, "Mingqiao she...... Now that I'm with Wu Liang, I can't bother, and I want to ask you to take a look at her for me. ”
Chu Nian thought about it, and now Wu Liang was accompanying Ming Qiao to accompany her, and now Ming Qiao was almost tired of crying.
Looking at Mingyue's concerned appearance, Chu Nian shook his head slightly, "Don't bother her now, the more concerned people are, the more she wants to cry." ”
Mingyue hesitated for a moment before nodding.
Fang Cai raised his eyes and saw Chu Nian's slightly tired face, "Are you going back?" ”
Chu Nian nodded slowly, and when he saw Mingyue, he said lightly, "I'll send you." ”
Chu Nian didn't refuse, and the two walked together towards the carriage that stopped in front of the Ming Xiu Hall leading to the outside of the palace, and along the way, Mingyue followed Chu Nian silently, as if she had something on her mind.
Seeing this, Chu Nian's eyes flashed with a hint of understanding, but he didn't take the lead in talking, and it was not until he reached the gate of the palace that he saw Mingyue speak: "You have been ...... recently Is there any news of Qinghe? ”
Chu Nian's eyes flashed slightly, and he didn't squint, "If you talk about Qinghe's news, I have it, but about Huang Yi, I don't." ”
Mingyue seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and before Chu Nian turned her head, the strange look on her face was quickly concealed, and it wasn't until she reached the front of the palace gate that Mingyue spoke: "Today, I didn't ask the imperial brother to pass the order to leave the palace, so I won't send you." ”
Chu Nian nodded, "You go back, accompany Concubine Liang more, Mingqiao has Wu Liang over there, you don't have to worry." ”
Mingyue opened her mouth, but closed her lips again, nodded with a heavy face, and Chu Nian got out of the carriage.
When Chu Nian got into the carriage of the Chu family and returned to the Chu family, Mei Xiang was waiting at the door, her face seemed to be a little worried, and when she saw Chu Nian get off the carriage, she breathed a sigh of relief, "The slave maid thought that the lady would not come back tonight." ”
Chu Nian shook his head helplessly, "Didn't the news of the palace come out?" ”
"It is precisely because of the spread that the slave maid thinks that ......" Mei Xiang showed regret on her face, "Concubine Ling is such a good person, but she is ...... at a young age It's a shame. ”
