Chapter 8: Section 18 Who Can Live Forever (1)
When I returned to my mother's house in Taiwei's Mansion, I realized that my mother had actually been sick for a long time. They were afraid that I would be worried, so they never told me. It wasn't until he saw that his mother was declining day by day, and there was no hope of recovery, that he sent someone to the palace to inform him.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at my mother's collapsed face and thin hands, in addition to heartache, it was sad. No one, no matter how strong or tough she is, can't escape it. Mother, this time, she really came to the end of her life.
In my impression, my mother has always been the most vigorous person. She has spent her life striving for what she wants, never flinching, never getting discouraged. It can be said that in women, her toughness is already a bit of the best in the world. But now, she could only lie there dying, helplessly waiting for death to take her away.
When I slept and woke up, she would sometimes talk to me. To my surprise, she didn't recall her father, nor did she recall my childhood with Xiaowu, but repeatedly mentioned it to me. The most talked about sentence was "Feng'er, don't kill Tai, let him go." β
At first I replied, "I didn't say kill him." Later, she told her repeatedly, and I just followed her and said, "Okay, don't kill him." β
I don't understand what my mother is thinking, such advice is really inconsistent with the behavior of her generation. Is it true that a man is about to die, and his words are good?
When she was sober again, she looked behind me and asked, "Why didn't you see the cat?" β
I forced a smile and said, "When you were asleep, Meow Meow had already come to see you, and now she is back in the palace." You know that, too. Princesses are not allowed to stay overnight. β
She looked me in the eye and asked, "Really?" "Although she described it as withered and deep-set eyes, it still gave me a sense of oppression. My eyes flickered in a panic.
Mother sighed and said, "Tell my mother honestly." Did Meow Meow have an accident? Although I have been dizzy for the past three days, every time I open my eyes, I always see you frowning. Full of worries. It wasn't until he found out that I woke up that he quickly put on a smiling face. β
Now that my mother has seen it. I can't pretend anymore. Once the embankment in my heart collapsed, I fell on my mother's pillow and cried, "Mother, Meow Meow is missingββ,ap, update the fastest. Even the forbidden army was all dispatched, almost turning Luoyang City upside down. But today is the third day, and there is still no news. β
My baby Meowth has been with me for ten years. Every morning he would go to my palace to greet me. Every now and then, they would bring me a pot of flowers, or make a new kind of food for me to taste. She was unmarried at the age of ten, and I always told everyone and to myself that she didn't want to marry. But now that she has disappeared, I seriously think back to every conversation I had before, which time I fought hard and tried to convince? That's pretty much the case with every conversation
"Meow, someone mentioned your marriage to me again today."
"Queen Mother, Meow Meow doesn't want to marry yet."
"Oh, let's talk about that later."
Every time I ask a question like this. I'm even snickering. Because that way, Meowth can stay with me for a few more daysβeven though I know that day will come sooner or later.
When I think of this, I feel sad. I couldn't cry anymore.
"But what does this have to do with Taiyou?" The mother asked suddenly.
Seeing my astonishment, my mother said, "You can even shout when you dream." Sima. I'm going to kill you, you give me back my meow. Otherwise. Why do you think I always tell you not to kill too? β
It turned out that I had unknowingly leaked my thoughts. But no, I waited for my mother to fall asleep every night before crawling up to her to sleep for a while. If my mother doesn't fall asleep, how dare I sleep? Xiao Wu saw that my face was very bad these days, and he always wanted to change me at night, but I refused. Since entering the palace, I have rarely gone back to my parents' house, and when I do, I always leave on the same day. Although it is due to the national system, as a daughter, I really did not fulfill my filial piety. Now this is the last day to accompany my mother, how can I be willing to miss it.
But my mother told me, "I lie in bed every day, I sleep every day, how can I sleep so deeply?" He is awake when he sleeps. As he spoke, he smiled helplessly, and then added, "When you wake up, you also sleep on the ground." "That is, when I wake up, I am not very awake.
Now that she knows it, what else do I have to hide? So I told her everything that had happened since Meow Meow's disappearance.
When my mother heard this, she was taken aback and said, "It's not just Meow Meow who is missing, even Tai is missing?"
I nodded, "Yes." It's just that it's too missing, and the stakes are so important that I don't dare to release the news easily, for fear of causing chaos. So far, except for a very small number of confidant ministers, the others don't know about it, and they are just sending people to find it secretly. β
Hearing this, my mother looked at me with blaming eyes and said, "There is such a big thing in the palace, why are you still staying with me?" Why don't you go back and look for it? β
I hurriedly said, "I've already sent someone to look for it, and my daughter can't go back and look for it herself." Besides, my mother is so sick now, how can I walk away. β
The mother said angrily: "You are the queen!" It's not the ignorant woman who hasn't seen the world. Whatever you do, you have to prioritize it in advance, weigh the benefits and disadvantages, and take into account the overall situation. Don't you think it's stupid to do so now that you're guarding a withered old woman and not caring about the life or death of Tai and your daughter? β
"However, they are still young, and the future days are still long, but my mother is ......", I want to say that I can accompany my mother for a limited time, unlike those two, I want to cherish the last period of this life and my mother
Before I finished speaking, my mother's hand was already pointing out the door and said, "Go, bring Taihe Meow to me, otherwise you won't use it." β
"You want to see Tai?" I wondered, how could I want to see meow too.
"I want to find a backer for my granddaughter. If you kill the current Fa Tai and set up another clan relative of the Sima family, then it will not be Meow Meow's own brother. You must not do such a stupid thing to vent your anger. Do you think I'm too much? Your mother has never had the kind of bodhisattva heart that is dedicated to others? I love my granddaughters, who could have been the most noble princesses, the emperor's own sisters. If you kill Tai, they will be the most embarrassing people in the royal family. Speaking of this, the mother gasped. Seeing that I was talking to my mother, Xiao Wu, who had never come in, also rushed in, stroked her mother's chest and slowly helped her calm down.
After my mother's anger finally came over, Xiao Wu also persuaded me, "Sister, you just listen to your mother, go back to the palace." Finding Taihe Meow and bringing them to see her mother is also the last wish of your mother. β
After my mother explained my words again, she kicked me out of the room.
The Taiwei Mansion didn't let me stay, so I had to go back to the palace.
Thinking of my mother being sick like that, and still thinking about her granddaughter, how can I bring Meow Meow to her, otherwise if my mother can't wait to see Meow Meow ......, then I don't have to regret it for life?
After returning to the palace, I did not go back to my dormitory first, but went to the East Palace of Tai.
Too still hasn't come back. Of course, several key officials of the East Palace knew about Tai's disappearance, and they were in charge of the East Palace day and night these days. When they saw me suddenly enter, everyone was frightened, thinking that I had gone to Xingshi to ask for sin. He knelt on the ground with a brush, his head banging on the ground, and begging for mercy.
I sat down in the temple before I spoke, "Indeed, I can put you in prison right now, and kill you and fill the army." But killing you won't help, and now you still need people to find Tai, and you, as the people who follow Tai's side, can also provide some important information, otherwise will this palace spare you? β
On this day, I have been discussing with the officials, eunuchs, and palace maids of the East Palace, but I have not received any valuable clues.
Until the end, when almost everyone was about to despair, someone suddenly said a word, and I went to Xishan Baiyun Temple not long ago to see Qi
This is something that everyone in the East Palace knows, it is not a secret, and it doesn't sound suspicious alone. But I immediately thought of a little bit that there are many strange flowers growing in the back garden of Xishan Temple. During the last few days of my confinement on the mountain, the emperor was there with me, and every morning he went to that garden to collect flowers for me.
Thinking about it seriously, Tai is not close to King Qi, and he has never been an amorous person, why did he deliberately go to the West Mountain to see King Qi? Is it possible that he saw that the king was a pretend, and it was true that he took Meow Meow up the mountain?
