Just like intercepting the letter sent by the eighth elder brother, it was easy for Yinxiang to stop the letter of the fourth brother, but Lanqi was afraid that he would be selfish, so he made a desperate decision to chase the letter back to Qinghai, and sure enough, two days later, Yinxiang sent the letter back.

But Yinxiang cried in front of Xuan Ye and Lan Qi, a man in his thirties, crying so sadly, his biological mother died early, and his two younger sisters died early not long after they got married, and his cherishing of his relatives and siblings is in these tears.

The letter, at the request of Xuan Ye, no one opened it, the emperor said that maybe he could keep it for the future to show Fourteen, and said that the one who intercepted the letter must be the emperor, he repeatedly told Lan Qi: "It's not that I'm afraid that she will hate you, but you must always give your son a place to comfort, otherwise he will be too pitiful." ”

A few days later, the fourth elder brother led the princes, the children of the clan, the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, to the specifications of the Son of Heaven to worship the heavens, the earth, and the society, he stood on the top of ten thousand people for the first time, and the moment he looked down, the trance in front of him became the biggest wake-up call for him to urge himself to be a good emperor in the future, whenever he was tired and wanted to be lazy, or greedy for comfort, he would think of the day of the sacrifice.

It turned out that standing above 10,000 people, there was no imaginary chic and pride in scolding Fang Xuan for pointing out the country. On the contrary, he can only see countless pairs of eyes looking at you staring at you, the responsibility and pressure are far heavier than the ideals and ambitions, and he has already felt that day that he can't help himself as an emperor.

And after the fourth elder brother sacrificed to the heavens on his behalf, the emperor seemed to let go of a big matter, and his body suddenly became weaker, and he could still be awake for some part of the day, but now he is asleep most of the time, and occasionally wakes up, and after seeing Lan Qi by his side, he smiles happily and comfortably, and he has no time to speak, and he will fall asleep again. Lan Qi said to Huanchun: "He has been cautious all his life, even if he goes out on patrol, he has to stay up all night to approve excerpts, and now he has made up for all the sleep he hasn't slept enough in his life." ”

As seen in Huanchun's eyes, in the face of the emperor's aging day by day, compared to the impetuousness of the ministers, who tried every means to break into Qingxi Academy every day, Concubine De Niangniang behaved very calmly, as if she was not serving the person who was about to die, but with a smile every day, as she had done in the past few decades.

When Xuan Ye is awake, he can still eat, always Lan Qi feeds it one bite at a time, the medicine is too bitter, Lan Qi and the concubine discussed, they no longer give Xuan Ye to take, and now what elixir can not continue his life, Lan Qi doesn't want him to work hard all his life, and his mouth is still full of bitterness when he leaves. Always asked Huan Chun to make some of his favorite foods, and stewed them into his mouth, Xuan Ye would be happy to eat the familiar taste, and reached out to touch her cheek.

Xuan Ye's last days were calmer than expected, he didn't moan about his illness, nor did he lose his temper, the emperor who used to be dominant, obediently let Lan Qi take care of him, but the imperial doctor said that the emperor's illness should be very hard now, but the emperor was silent, maybe he just didn't want the ladies to worry about him.

Lan Qi would touch his cheek and say, "If you're not feeling well, just shout out, and it's better to shout out." Weak, he just smiled slightly, and used the strength he used to moan to hold Lan Qi's hand tightly.

In November, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the earth dragon has already been burned in the Qingxi Study, Xuan Ye was unexpectedly very sober in those days, as if returning to the light, but he didn't seem to have the concept of hot and cold, and would point to the thin clothes on Lan Qi's body, he knew that the days were already shaking, and the depression outside the window was a symbol of cold.

Lan Qi would hold his face with her hot hand and say, "I'm warm, I'm wearing too much and my waist is bloated, you don't like it anymore, I'm not as slim as I used to be." "But tomorrow to take care of Xuan Ye day and night, almost not an inch, Lan Qi is already thin, and last year's winter clothes are dangling on her body.

In those days, the ministers came to see the emperor one after another, Lan Qi avoided every time, it was Concubine Tong who accompanied the emperor, she couldn't understand the government, but Lan Qi taught her how to do it once those ministers were excited, let them kneel in peace.

On the tenth day of the first day of November, Long Keduo was transferred to Changchun Garden to be responsible for the defense of the park, and walked around the Qingxi Book House with guards every day, Ma Qi and several ministers went to the garden at dawn every day, and did not go back until nightfall.

And in October, the fourth elder brother sacrificed to the sky on behalf of the emperor, which is almost equivalent to announcing to the world that the emperor has chosen who will be the heir. Thinking about such a critical moment, such a sensitive matter, if the emperor didn't have a full plan, how could he easily send the fourth elder brother there, so far, many people can only give up the struggle and wait to see the final result.

The weather is getting colder and colder, but this year's snow has not fallen, it is already in mid-November, and there is no shadow of snowflakes, Lan Qi still fantasizes that Xuan Ye can take her to the Taihe Hall to see the vast snow, she doesn't feel at all that Xuan Ye is about to leave her.

When Xuan Ye was awake that day, he wanted to eat fried beans on a whim, Lan Qi smiled and said that he was a heavenly family, where can he always prepare this thing, and he knew in his heart that he remembered the past, so he sent a message to Yinzhen Yinxiang, and the sons immediately went to the city to find it, but when Huanchun was ready to send it, the emperor had already fallen asleep.

This sleep, stable and long, Lan Qi fell asleep leaning on Xuan Ye's side, and the next day she felt that someone was touching her cheek, she woke up slowly, Xuan Ye said, "Look outside, it's snowing." Lan Qi was stunned, sleepy-eyed, and the sluggishness of waking up from her dream made her almost forget what day it was, as if she had woken up in his arms during a nap in the Qianqing Palace, there was no illness, no parting, no passage of time, and it was still the young Wu Ya Lanqi, who coquettishly enjoyed all the favor of Xuan Ye.

When she leaned in front of the window, the stiffness of her waist made her feel her aging, and she suddenly woke up. I couldn't wait to see the snow, so I turned around and asked, "Are you hungry, thirsty or not, I'll let them bring food." ”

Xuan Ye smiled slowly, his spirit was better than yesterday, and he ordered: "Let Long Keduo and Ma Qi come in." ”

Sure enough, they had been waiting outside for a long time, as if they had agreed with the emperor, and when they came out more than half an hour later, Ma Qi's eyes were red, and Long Keduo was silent, and Ma Qi asked Lan Qi: "Niangniang, long live the lord, please come in." ”

Lan Qi looked back at Concubine Tong and the others, and the concubine just smiled: "When is it, what matters is that the Lord is happy." ”

Entering the room, Xuan Ye was still lying there, he was very stubborn, resolutely refused to go out, and did not want other ministers and others to see his aging appearance, he said that as long as he still had a breath, he was the pillar of the court and the royal family, and the pillar could not be shaken and uneasy, or it would collapse with a bang, and another pillar would hold up another piece of the sky.

Xuan Ye said, "You open the window and let me see the snow." ”

Lan Qi took a thick blanket and covered him, only to open a crack slightly, Xuan Ye muttered, "What can you see here?" ”

"Just take a look, don't you feel sorry for me cold?" Lan Qi sat back and stuffed her hand into his palm, "Cover me a little." ”

Xuan Ye nodded and held her hand with both hands, but he was too weak, there was no heat on his body, he could only feel Lan Qi's hand warm, a little warm into his heart.

"You." Xuan Ye said, "After I leave, I have to be good, don't chase after me, I won't wait for you." ”

Lan Qi's heart tightened, and she lowered her head and said, "You don't want me anymore?" I can say that Biluo Huangquan lives and dies together"

Xuan Ye smiled: "Be obedient, the children will need you, you want to be like the imperial grandmother to assist me, assist ......"

Lan Qi nodded: "I'm obedient, I'll listen to whatever you say." But you have to wait for me, if you don't wait for me on the road, I will get lost and be afraid. ”

Xuan Ye laughed, stroked the back of her hand, and said, "Don't come too early, I still want to have a good time." ”

Lan Qi pulled out her hand and twisted it on the two of them, the thin skin and flesh were heart-wrenching, and she smiled and said, "Don't think, never let you get away?" ”

The two of them were very close to each other, and Xuan Ye squinted and smiled and said, "Get closer, let me kiss it." ”

With a gentle peck, another peck, Lan Qi actually blushed, buried her head in his shoulder, and said with a smile: "It's not serious, I have a wrinkled face, what else is amiable." She felt Xuan Ye's hand caressing her back, caressing it gently, Lan Qi just wanted to laugh, but she felt that the stroking force on her back suddenly became smaller, and she never lifted it up after sliding down, she was stunned and wanted to speak, but her heart blocked her throat and couldn't speak, and it took a long time before she choked up: "Xuan Ye? ”

"Uh-huh......" A very light sound penetrated into her ears, and the person in her arms seemed to respond with the last strength, and after that sound, life suddenly dispersed, Lan Qi just stood up gently, and Xuan Ye's body was crooked.

There was a rumbling sound in her ears, Lan Qi felt that she had left the world, she subconsciously put Xuan Ye flat, put his braids neatly on the pillow, gently covered the brocade quilt, cleaned up everything on the kang neatly and decently, leaned down, kissed the person who was silent again, touched his peaceful cheek with a smile, and murmured: "Wait for me." So he got up and went outside the door, and called the imperial doctor in.

The imperial doctor went in, Ma Qi and Long Keduo also went in, Tong Guifei and Concubine He entered, Yinzhen Yinxiang, the third elder brother and the fifth elder brother all went in, and with a cup of tea, the quiet Qingxi Book House was drowned out by crying, and the quiet Changchun Garden suddenly fell into a state of grief.

There was snow outside, Lan Qi left Xuan Ye to them, and went straight to the door, Huan Chun rushed over in a panic, crying and asking, "Master, where are you going?" ”

Lan Qi said calmly: "Pack up your things, go back to the Forbidden City, and go back to Yonghe Palace." ”

Huanchun saw that his master didn't have a single tear, and he was so frightened that he didn't know what to do, and persuaded bitterly: "Niangniang, you go to the side and take a slow, don't ......be in a hurry."

Lan Qi said calmly: "The first emperor is mourning, and the new monarch is on the throne, everything can't be delayed, it must be faster, faster." ”

At this time, someone rushed out and knelt down to ask Concubine De Niangniang to say: "Long Keduo and Master Ma Qi are about to announce the edict of the first emperor and invite Concubine De Niangniang to enter." ”

Lan Qi shook her head, turned around and continued to walk into the snow, only vaguely floating: "I don't want to hear it." ”

In the sixty-first year of Kangxi, November 13, Aixinjue Luo Xuanye died.
