Yesterday was the fourth watch, everyone forgot to look at the hat, the last day of May, must ask for pink. Then there is the continuation of the addition of more drops today.

After the third watch, Brother Xu Ying sat up from his own bed in the side hall of Hanzhang Palace, gently pushed the window open a crack, looked left and right to see that there was no one, and then lay in front of the window and looked up at the moon in the sky in a daze.

She has been for five whole days, Empress Zhu's illness is good and bad, vomiting blood is commonplace, although she wants to eat every day, and has been trying to eat, but even if all kinds of food are placed on the table, she can't eat anymore after just two bites. Although the imperial doctor didn't say it, Princess Changle and Princess Kang were also smiling, but even she could see that Empress Zhu's illness was just dragging out the days, and everything everyone did was just to prolong the arrival of that day as much as possible.

Brother Xu Ying is actually a little tired, there are many people in this palace who come to visit the patient every day, and there are even more people who come under the banner of "serving the disease". Even though she was happy to hide in the small kitchen and cook carefully for Empress Zhu, Princess Kang was still happy that she would learn to deal with people on the side, and would test her from time to time. Just looking at all kinds of eyes and guessing the meaning of various words made her choke. She knows that her brain doesn't have to be rusty, and she usually loves to use her brain, but because she is too tired these days or because she has Xu Fu in her heart, she can't lift that spirit, so she feels extremely tired.

Zhang Yizheng She has only seen twice, each time she saw her in a hurry, and she had to separate without saying a word, Xu Xingge and Mrs. Wu, Yao and Fu, all entered the palace to invite the queen to visit her, but no one brought any news of Xu Fu, which had to give her an illusion that Xu Fu seemed to have suddenly disappeared in this world. She could only comfort herself that no news was good news.

Brother Xu Ying sighed softly and beat his somewhat sore arm, missing Qingyu's soft body and moderate massage skills, as well as his comfortable and fragrant bed in the garden. A quiet voice came from the compartment: "Madam, what do you need?" ”

"Ah, no. It's too hot. I blow a cool breeze. Brother Xu Ying pretended to pick up the fan beside him and rubbed it, secretly saying that the ears of these palace people are really a little more sensitive than cats, and there is no sound at Princess Kang next door.

Jingrong said: "Then if you have any orders, just shout." ”

"Got it, sister, sleep in peace." Brother Xu Ying replied, and suddenly heard someone patting the palace door outside, and immediately stretched his neck to look out. I thought that the palace gate had been locked at this time. Who will come?

But I saw that the elderly emperor was supported by Huang Sifu, and walked in slowly, and his boots fell on the long wooden corridor of Hanzhang Hall and made an empty and lonely sound, and the emperor's original tall and burly figure was covered by the shadows cast by the pillars from time to time, and it looked weak and rickety out of thin air", the latest chapter is: ".

In the past few days, the emperor has come to see Empress Zhu twice. The first time was on the night of the Great Dynasty Meeting, watching Empress Zhu take medicine and leave, and then they heard that he had killed a so-called "quack" who dared to say that he could not cure Empress Zhu; The second time was at noon the day before yesterday, he had a meal with Empress Zhu in Hanzhang Palace, and saw that Empress Zhu was about to kill the imperial chef again after only eating a small point, so frightened that she, the temporary imperial chef, shook into a ball and hid behind Empress Zhu. Empress Zhu pulled her out with a smile and said, "If it weren't for this, I'm afraid the concubine wouldn't have been able to eat for a long time." She is so filial and lovely. The saint really can't bear to let the third child lose his daughter-in-law at a young age? ”

The Emperor stared at her viciously for almost a minute before viciously throwing the jade pendant hanging from his waist at her feet, and then swept away what Empress Zhu had eaten. Simply got up and left. When he was about to go out, he had to say that a palace maid was disrespectful to him, and he wanted to kill the palace maid with a rod. Empress Zhu was so anxious that he wanted to cough up blood, so he changed his mind and let him be beaten with twenty rods, and the palace maid still hasn't been able to get up.

This is the third time, Brother Xu Ying thought with some distress, who will suffer this time? Presumably, at this time, the people in the entire Hanzhang Hall were panicked, and they were afraid that they would be unlucky, and they would suddenly be poisoned by this mad emperor? Thinking about it like this, she felt that she could vaguely see many pairs of eyes shining behind these countless doors and windows.

But in the entire Hanzhang Palace, she was probably the only one who dared to peep at the holy driver, Brother Xu Ying quickly retracted his neck, left only a thin slit in the window and looked out, and saw Aunt Hongsu, who had half of her hair white, standing in front of the palace door and kneeling down in front of the old emperor, the old emperor walked in without looking, Huang Sifu followed behind and motioned for Aunt Hongsu to get up, and the two got together and whispered a few words. After a while, Princess Changle, who was in charge of keeping watch tonight, walked out of it with a tired face, turned around and entered another side hall.

It was very quiet everywhere, neither did I hear Empress Zhu's heart-rending cough, nor did I hear the sound of the madman old emperor shouting and shouting to kill, the lights in the main hall have been quietly on, and I can't see the figure shaking, and it is so quiet that I can only hear the rustle of the wind blowing through the treetops.

Brother Xu Ying was tired of waiting, clasped his hands and prayed that the old emperor would not suddenly go crazy and kill people, and then prepared to close the window and sleep. As soon as his hand touched the window, he saw the door of the main hall opened from within, and then two long figures snuggled up to each other and staggered out.

Brother Xu Ying's eyes widened, and when he saw the rickety old emperor supporting the weak Empress Zhu, the two of them leaned on each other, took a step to take a breath, and slowly walked to the place with the widest view on the corridor. The old emperor helped Empress Zhu to sit down, sat down close to her, let her lean on his body, and carefully straightened Empress Zhu's cloak, the two never said a word from beginning to end, but their movements were always tacit.

Brother Xu Ying could see clearly, under the faint moonlight, Empress Zhu was smiling at the old emperor, although the smile was light, but very satisfied. The old emperor looked at it for a while, buried his head in the neck socket of Empress Zhu and remained motionless, and after a while, his body trembled slightly. Empress Zhu put her hand on his back, gently stroked it like a mother comforting her child, and whispered a few words. There was a faint sound from somewhere, and the old emperor quickly raised his head and looked around like a lion, as if he was about to tear the watcher to pieces. Empress Zhu then raised her head and looked in the direction of Brother Xu Ying.

Brother Xu Ying's heart trembled violently in fright, and he quickly closed the window with lightning speed, his heart almost didn't jump out of his throat, and he climbed onto the bed with trembling hands and feet to cover himself tightly with the thin quilt, and it took a long break to return to his soul. Who would have thought? Such a couple, such an abominable murderous madman, would lean into the arms of his dying old wife and cry like a child, well, she didn't see tears, she imagined it out of thin air.

There was a ray of moonlight projected on the ground through the thin window paper. Gentle as the frost of an autumn morning. Brother Xu Ying remembered a lot of things, her heart slowly became gentle, and she fell asleep with sweet dreams.

When there are sweet dreams to do, the long nights always pass very quickly, and Brother Xu Ying felt that he had just fallen asleep and had been woken up by Jingrong. took out the speed of a 100-meter sprint when he was late for work, quickly dressed, combed his hair, washed his face and brushed his teeth, and hurriedly rushed into the small kitchen to set the medicine jar on fire. The rice was washed out of the pot, and the sky was just bright.

Princess Kang came over and stood in front of the kitchen door wearing a homely old dress, and looked at her gently: "Are you tired?" ”

Brother Xu Ying hurriedly brought her a small pestle: "Mother concubine sit." ”

Princess Kang combed Brother Xu Ying's scattered hair before sitting down, like an ordinary mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of an ordinary family, and talked softly with Brother Xu Ying: "Niangniang's body, you must know it in your heart, there is really not much we can do." Doing one's duty is the best filial piety. ”

Brother Xu Ying said: "My daughter-in-law will do her best." ”

Princess Kang looked at her approvingly: "You have done a really good job, and you don't have the pampering of Gaomen's daughter at all." Niang Niang and I have praised me no less than ten times. ”

Brother Xu Ying calmly accepted this praise: "First, you should fulfill your filial piety, and second, you can't lose the face of your mother's family and the house." ”

Princess Kang was silent for a moment and said softly, "Don't be willful next time." ”

Brother Xu Ying was taken aback, and reflexively remembered the scene he saw last night, but he pretended to be confused and looked at Princess Kang innocently.

Princess Kang was angry and funny, pinched her cheek a little hard and said softly, "It's just because of you." Because it was the mother who saw it. If it was someone else, it would have been dealt with by the palace rules a long time ago. ”

Brother Xu Ying honestly lowered his hand and said in a low voice: "I didn't mean to. ”

Princess Kang said in a deep voice: "This is not the mansion. If you're not careful, you can lose your life. Remember? ”

"Remembered." Brother Xu Ying's whole body was tense. Seeing that Empress Zhu was a little weak all morning, Empress Zhu seemed to know that she was weak-hearted, and deliberately supported her to do things in front of her, Brother Xu Ying gritted his teeth and held back, and then knew that someone was really unlucky last night, Liu Zhaoyi and Luo Zhaorong's henchmen around them were beaten by the mad emperor with a false excuse, and both of them were so frightened that they fell ill.

So at noon, Empress Zhu received two requests here, one is that Wang Qiniang and An Liu invited Yizhi to enter the palace to serve Liu Zhaoyi, who was seriously ill, and the other is that Princess Fu invited Yizhi to enter the palace to serve Luo Zhaorong. Empress Zhu was accurate one by one, and did not make any comments or sighs on the old emperor's behavior.

Soon after Wang Qiniang, An Liu, and Princess Fu entered the palace, the county lord of Hui'an and Wang Liuniang's sister-in-law came together, in addition to having something to tell Princess Changle, they brought a good news to Princess Kang: Feng Baoer is pregnant, and the Feng family sent a group of people into the house, and the concubine asked Princess Kang to show whether she wants to accept these people? Taking advantage of Princess Kang's consideration, the county lord of Hui'an pulled Xu Yingge aside and said in a low voice: "Someone asked me to bring you a message, that person has returned to Beijing, everything is fine." ”

Brother Xu Ying was slightly stunned, and then smiled. Xu Fu returned to Beijing, and everything was fine. It's the best news I've heard these days.
