Fu Zifei crouched ghostly beside the Empress Dowager's bed, and when she saw her come in, she quietly hid behind the bed, not face to face with her. Mingzhu didn't bother to care about Fu Zifei, she walked straight to the bed of the Empress Dowager, and saluted the New Year seriously, the Empress Dowager stared at her for a long time, grabbed Aunt Mu's hand and shook it twice. Aunt Mu immediately took out a delicate and gorgeous purse from under the Empress Dowager's pillow, sent it to Mingzhu, and said with a smile: "The New Year's money that Niangniang gave you." ”

This purse pearl has been taken for many years, and if there is no accident, it should be a pair of little golden pigs inside. Mingzhu's nose suddenly became sour, she clenched her purse, suppressed her tears, kowtowed to the Empress Dowager again, and whispered: "Thank you Empress Dowager for rewarding." ”

Aunt Mu helped her up and moved a brocade stool for her, so that she could talk to the Queen Mother face to face. The Empress Dowager waited for her to sit down before she spoke: "Is there any news from the front?" ”

Mingzhu lowered her eyes and told her the news of the victory in Ganzhou, and the Empress Dowager stared at the top of the tent silently for a long time, and exhaled softly: "It's okay." Then there was a long silence.

Just when Mingzhu thought that the Empress Dowager had fallen asleep again, she opened her mouth again: "How is Kangning?" ”

Mingzhu said: "The news sent back a few days ago was that the war and heavy snow stopped in Guixian County for the New Year, and then set off again when the weather was clear." In addition, everything went well. ”

The Empress Dowager had accumulated a long amount of strength before she said, "What about Ji Hui? ”

Ji Hui had been following Mr. Meng before, and accompanied the second group of people on the way. Halfway through, Mr. Meng fell ill and fell behind, so she took the initiative to stay and take care of Mr. Meng and followed Princess Kangning's send-off team. If there is no accident, Ji Hui should be in Gui County with Princess Kangning at this time. There is nothing to hide, Mingzhu answered the Empress Dowager truthfully: "With Kangning." ”

The Empress Dowager stopped talking, and Mingzhu waited patiently for a while, but she didn't ask any more questions, so she motioned to Aunt Mu to help ask if there was anything else. Aunt Mu leaned over to look, her expression changed greatly, and she said quickly: "Niangniang! Empress! ”

Mingzhu reacted, and hurriedly shouted to someone to spread Jiangzhouzi quickly, and because he was afraid that something would happen, he asked someone to hurry up and urge Yu Wenguang, Empress Dowager Xu, Concubine Min, Yu Wenxin and others.

Aunt Mu called out to her with blurred tears in her eyes: "Come here, Niangniang is looking for you." ”

Mingzhu had just approached the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager's cold hand grabbed her tightly: "Ji Hui, she ......"

The light in the Empress Dowager's eyes suddenly dimmed, and the unfinished words turned into a faint sigh, and a smile appeared on her lips, gentle and tactful, just like a girl in the second eight saw a lover in love.

Her hand let go, drooped, and swallowed the last breath of heat.

Aunt Mu and Mingzhu looked at the Empress Dowager blankly, at a loss, seeing each other's eyes with tears rolling in their eyes, but they didn't know what to do.

"Auntie! Aunt Grandma! Imperial Grandmother! Imperial Grandmother! Grand empress dowager! Empress! What should I do if you go! What to do! Fu Zifei rushed out from behind the bed tent, shouted and threw himself at the Empress Dowager, hitting his head against the bedpost with all his might, looking crazy: "How can you be so ruthless? How can you be so cruel to me? You called me here, and now you're leaving me alone? How can you do that? How can this be? ”

After only a short period of effort, she hit the hairpin sideways, and her forehead was even more bloody, looking very pitiful. The tears in Mingzhu's eyes couldn't stop falling, and she motioned to the palace people to pull Fu Zifei away, but she refused, and continued to hit the bedpost with her head "dong dong", which made people's bones chill.

At this moment, Yu Wenguang ran in panting, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but mourn in his heart, and suddenly knelt on the ground, crying: "Imperial grandmother, grandson is not filial......"

Fu Zifei cried, crawled towards him on his knees, hugged him tremblingly, and cried with him: "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty...... Now you are the only concubine......"

Mingzhu wept and silently closed the eyes of the Empress Dowager. After Aunt Mu wiped away the first tears, she was surprisingly calm: "Niangniang's future depends on the princess." ”

Mingzhu nodded, signaled the palace people to knock on the cloud board and send out the mourning sound, took out the shrouds, jewelry and other things, and prepared to dress up the empress dowager. Then Empress Dowager Xu, Yu Wenxin, Concubine Min and others hurried over, and wept again, and then persuaded Yu Wenguang to mourn, and ordered the cancellation of the New Year's court meeting, and the whole country mourned.

This is the third year of Jianxing.

When the news reached Fu Xiangfu, Fu Cong was silent for a long time and said, "Give me a glass of wine." ”

Fu Lin resolutely refused: "The doctor said that grandfather can't drink." ”

Fu Cong begged softly: "Grandfather is in a bad mood, just a small cup." ”

Fu Lin still didn't give it: "No." ”

Fu Cong was angry: "Stinky boy, the old man has worked hard all his life, can't he drink a little wine?" Call your daddy! ”

Fu Lin stiffened his neck and said, "My father went to the palace to cry and mourn." ”

"Then call your mother!"

"My mother went too."

"Where's your fourth uncle?"

"My fourth uncle also went."

"......" Fu Cong shouted: "Call your third uncle!" He doesn't have an official position, so he doesn't have to go to the palace, right? I don't want to see you, you go away. ”

An Rushan hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him, and called Fu Lin: "Uncle stay away for a while, the old lady is uncomfortable, just shout out." ”

Fu Lin sighed, obediently retreated, and happened to meet Li Shumei and Ai Shi coming over with hot soup, and when he saw this, he asked, "What's wrong?" I heard shouting from afar. ”

Fu Lin told what had happened, Li Shumei pondered for a moment, and said, "Give him a cup of fruit wine mixed with water." ”

Fu Lin really took the fruit wine in, Fu Cong dried it up, and then glared at Fu Lin, Fu Lin knelt down and admitted his mistake, but he waved his hand boredly: "That's it, so be it." Tell your aunt that you should follow the rules as to prepare at home. ”

Fu Lin said: "I ordered it early in the morning, and I am replacing the curtain at this time." He also advised Fu Cong: "Grandfather, if you are uncomfortable, scold your grandson to be angry." ”

Fu Cong sighed: "Another stupid child." You lay out the pen and paper, I said you write, and then send this letter to the palace to your aunt. ”

There is no chaos in the palace, after all, the Empress Dowager has been ill for too long, and everyone is prepared. If you want to say that there are exceptions, only the people in Changxin Palace are the most chaotic, after all, the Empress Dowager is gone, and there is no bottom on where everyone is going. Aunt Mu flicked and suppressed a few people who had other thoughts, so that they would not be messed up.

Fu Cong's letter was delivered to the palace, Mingzhu was burning paper for the Empress Dowager, and when she saw the letter, she directly handed it over to the Empress Dowager Xu. When Empress Dowager Xu opened the letterhead, her face changed: "This, this, I can't be the master." ”
