Chapter 308 Entrustment
Seven or eight red lanterns flickered at the gate of the palace in the dark night, and when they saw the car coming, the leading chamberlain hurriedly rushed over and shouted: "The prince has ordered, you don't need to get out of the car, hurry up and enter the palace!" The car didn't slow down, rushed into the palace gate, and rushed to the place where it couldn't drive before it stopped suddenly, Su Zicheng jumped out of the car with the dizzy Li Xiaoqi in his arms, Li Xiaoqi fell to the ground and shook, and before he could stand firmly, he was hugged by Su Zicheng, followed by a few extremely fast-paced chamberlains, and rushed to the Qian'an Hall of the emperor's daily Yanju.
At the gate of the Qian'an Palace, the crown princess Wei had already arrived at the door, and when she saw Su Zicheng and Li Xiaoqi coming in, she gave way to the side with red eyes, and motioned for the two to hurry in. Su Zicheng dragged Li Xiaoyi, nodded at the Wei clan, didn't even bother to take off the cloak, and rushed into the dormitory.
Su Ziyi came out of the dormitory, Su Zixin was pushed by his mother to follow behind, Su Ziyi signaled the two to go to the cloak, Su Zicheng's eyes only stared at his father who was lying on the bed on his back, Li Xiaoqi reached out and pulled the cloak strap under his chin, took off the cloak, and went to his own cloak again, and handed it over to the chamberlain, Su Zicheng ran to his father's bed in a few steps, staring straight at his father, wanting to cry but not daring to cry.
"Father...... Luckily, I fell asleep. Su Ziyi said in a very low voice, Su Zicheng nodded busily, his legs were weak, and he knelt down in front of the bed, the emperor's fingers moved, he opened his eyes sluggishly, looked at the top of the tent with blank eyes, grunted a few times in his throat, and said vaguely: "Erlang...... Come ......"
"Father! The son is coming! Son is here! Father!" Su Zicheng moved on his knees, stretched out his hand to press his father's hand, and shouted eagerly, Su Ziyi was close to Su Zicheng and half-knelt on the ground, looking at his father with worried eyes, Wei had already come in, standing in the corner of the bed, Li Xiaoqi was slightly behind Wei half a step, and also stood in the corner of the bed, Guo Hou sat on the bedside chair, gagged his mouth with a handkerchief, endured his grief, and stared at the dying emperor on the bed with grief, but his hand pushed Su Zixin, who was terrified and timid, and was next to him, and subconsciously put him in front of the bed, Pushing between Su Ziyi and Su Zicheng, Su Zixin's heels rubbed the ground desperately, resisting the force of his mother's push, his face was shocked, frightened and helpless, and Li Xiaoyi hurriedly turned his face away.
The emperor closed his eyes again, and his breathing was as tight as if he only had incoming air.
"Imperial Doctor!" Su Ziyi shouted loudly, the imperial doctor behind the bed took two steps over, just put his finger on the emperor's wrist, the emperor seemed to have come through the air, his face was flushed, his breathing was smooth, he opened his eyes as if he was better, the imperial doctor's fingers trembled heavily, and he quickly withdrew his hand to look at Su Ziyi, his face twitched a few times, but he couldn't speak, Su Ziyi understood in an instant, waved his hand to the imperial doctor, stretched out his hand and pulled Su Zixin, let him kneel between himself and Su Zicheng, looked at the emperor who suddenly became energetic because of the return to light, and said softly: "Father, Our brothers are here, you can rest assured. ”
"I'm relieved!" The emperor's words were clear, but they seemed to be about to disperse as soon as he spoke: "Erlang's daughter-in-law is here...... No? Li Xiaoqi was stunned when he heard this.
"Here we are." Su Ziyi replied gently, gently picked up Su Zixin, and let go to the side, Li Xiaoqi hurriedly knelt in front of the bed, the emperor slowly turned his head, looked at Li Xiaoyi with the last glimmer of light in his eyes, and explained slowly and clearly: "You and Erlang...... It's all right, I'll ...... Little San, I entrust it to you...... Let him be ...... for the rest of his life As long as it's mediocre...... An An, Pingping...... An An!" Li Xiaoqi hurriedly turned his head to look at Su Ziyi, the emperor actually said such a thing before he died! Entrust your son to her! Let the emperor's eldest brother not entrust it, entrust it to her! It's literally killing her!
Su Ziyi lowered her eyelids, Li Xiaoqi looked at the emperor, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry on her face, she kept nodding her head, but the emperor stared at her, his eyes showed a trace of anxiety, Li Xiaoyi hurriedly nodded and replied: "Okay!" I promise, I will make the third prince safe and secure in this life!" The emperor let out a long breath, this breath came out, his eyes were closed, Li Xiaoqi hurriedly retreated a few steps on his knees, Su Ziyi and the imperial doctor rushed up, Li Xiaoqi trembled his legs and just moved to Wei's side, he heard a long exhalation like a sigh from the emperor, and after a moment of silence, Su Zicheng let out a heart-rending howl: "Father!" Immediately he cried loudly, Guo's sharp and painful cry followed by the outbreak, and Li Xiaoqi knelt on the ground next to Wei's, his fingers scratched the ground, and cried out in infinite annoyance.
When the day is about to dawn, inside and outside the palace, everywhere you look, is a white expanse, Li Xiaoqi has changed into a decrepit filial piety clothes, the rough linen cotton clothes are irritable, Li Xiaoqi seems to move out of nowhere, moved the numb legs and feet, in front of her, Guo Hou, who has been crying for a little half the night, is still crying and crying, the prince's side concubine Guo is kneeling next to her, while crying with her, while persuading a few words from time to time, Li Xiaoyi's left hand is a little forward, and Wei is kneeling steadily.
Alas! Li Xiaoqi sighed in annoyance, this Guo family is really as brainless as the emperor said! No matter how close you are to Empress Guo, but this is the time to cry the spirit, the most important thing is to pay attention to the elders and the young, how can you kneel in front of the Wei family? Protect the life of the three princes...... There is such a stupid foreigner...... How to protect it? How do you let her protect the third prince? Peace for life! She is a mountain bandit, Li Xiaoqi is full of coptis juice, the new emperor is not as good as the previous emperor, a person with great talent, which one is easy to get along? She originally planned to go to Huainan Road with Su Zicheng in the spring next year, and if she could not enter Beijing in the future, she would not enter Beijing......
Li Xiaoqi staggered to the ground on her forehead, griefing, she came to this world, she is simply not as good as the sky everywhere!
"Princess, please go to the back room to change your clothes and sit down." A small chamberlain bowed forward and asked in a low voice, Li Xiaoqi knew that it was time to rest for a while, so he hurriedly got up on the ground, stepped forward half a step to help Wei Shi, and flashed into the side hall, Guo Hou and Guo Shi in front had already entered another side hall.
"Just married...... I've wronged you. The two turned the corner, Wei gently patted the back of Li Xiaoyi's hand, and said gently, Li Xiaoqi leaned closer to Wei's side, and said in a low voice: "It's not wronged, it's just afraid." ”
"Don't be afraid, birth, old age, sickness and death, everyone has this day, and we have it too, don't be afraid." Wei's voice was gentle with a hint of sadness, Li Xiaoqi said softly'um', helped Wei's to turn into the side hall and sat down, the waiter quietly served two bowls of hot red date lotus seed soup, the two just drank two sips, a footstep came, a woman about thirty years old, looking imposing woman came in with an old woman who looked about fifty years old, followed by a beautiful woman who looked like she was in her early twenties, and her temperament was as gentle as water, and then behind, a woman who was about thirty years old, with a somewhat sad expression and a very average appearance, all four of them are filial piety.
Wei Shi slowly stood up, Li Xiaoqi also got up, and the old woman hurriedly leaned over and said politely: "Don't dare to be, this is Princess Liang, right?" ”
"Yes, I should have confessed today." Wei replied gently, turned his head and motioned to Li Xiaoqi to introduce: "This is Concubine Cao, this is Concubine Yang, this is Princess Yinghui, and this is Princess Minghui." Li Xiaoqi saw the salute one by one, and Wei helped the elderly Cao Guifei to sit down, and motioned to everyone: "There is just hot soup, drink a bowl of warmth, it's freezing outside." Princess Yinghui Su Yuru stepped forward and took Li Xiaoyi's hand, turned her head and said to her sister Princess Minghui Su Yuying: "Look at it, such a good-looking girl's family, if you don't know, you can't imagine that you can do better than most men, if your mother is here, you don't know what love looks like!" Once upon a time, my mother always hated us two as stupid as two logs!"
Su Yuying stepped forward and took Li Xiaoyi's hand, looked at her carefully, and her voice was gentle and quiet: "It's been a busy day yesterday, are you tired?" Sit down and take a break. ”
"Second Sister Xie cares." Li Xiaoqi hurriedly bent her knees and thanked her, Princess Yinghui hurriedly stepped forward to send Li Xiaoqi to sit down, turned her head to look at her sister and said angrily: "You will be a man!" Rushed ahead and snatched my words!" Speaking, next to Li Xiaoqi sat down, Li Xiaoqi wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh, hurriedly turned his head to look at Yang Concubine who was looking at him distractedly, speaking of which, among the people in the room, this Yang Concubine was in a pitiful situation, although Cao Guifei was also childless and daughterless, but when Cixiao gave birth to Princess Yinghui, she was unwell, so she entrusted Princess Yinghui to Cao Guifei to take care of, within two years, Cixiao was pregnant with Princess Minghui, and then gave birth to Su Zicheng, this Princess Yinghui grew up almost all the way in Cao Guifei's palace, Cao Guifei can get this concubine honorific title, Most of them are also from the care of Princess Yinghui, after Princess Yinghui became an adult, she married her into the Cao family after filial piety, and now this Princess Yinghui regards Cao Guifei as another mother.
Poor Yang Concubine was picked out by Empress Guo, and in the past ten years since she entered the palace, she has not accepted a few joys, let alone giving birth to a son and a half daughter, she is helpless in this palace, and she spends most of her time with Cao Guifei.
"The place where you are kneeling is a little windy, I just told the leading chamberlain that you have to change places...... You don't know when you're young, this cold wind can't blow ......" Su Yuru pulled Li Xiaoyu and said intimate words affectionately, Su Yuying drank the red date soup and listened intently to the two of them, Li Xiaoyu hurriedly took back his heart, and dealt with Su Yuru and Su Yuying's gossip with all his heart: "...... I don't know what it's like to be busy yet, that's a big deal, let's not care...... Speaking of which, Yuying and I haven't seen our father for more than half a year, and it's really ...... How many times did I hand over the sign, but I am afraid that my father didn't know that we handed the sign, and that our sister forgot about him...... When we were children, we were strict fathers and mothers, and we were just the opposite! My father loves us the most, and often hugs me and my sister and says that if you raise a girl, it is someone else's family, and you can't forget him when you get married...... Look at ......" Li Xiaoqi listened to Su Yuru's true and false complaints, but he didn't want to say a word.
