Su Mala still didn't know what was going on between mother and son, but she knew that she couldn't follow the blind coaxing, so she joked: "In the summer, I said that I would go to escape the heat, but I couldn't go after procrastinating, how could I think about going back to Shengjing?" After more than ten years in Beijing, I am afraid that I am not used to the cold winter of Shengjing. ”

Yu'er asked, "Then you won't go back with me?" ”

Su Mala said: "How can I not accompany you, but what about the third elder brother?" Why don't you bring it with you. ”

Yu'er smiled and sighed: "Yes, not to mention Xuan Ye, my lovely little grandchildren, I can't let go of any of them, but I can't take them all away." ”

She was stunned and asked Su Mala, "How old am I this year?" ”

Su Mala said, "Forty-five. ”

Yu'er asked: "Ordinary people, at my age, are you a grandmother?" ”

Su Mala said with a smile: "A family with prosperous children, and older grandchildren, can also be eight or nine years old." ”

"Our eldest girl is only five years old." Yu'er said, "Then I don't have anything to be pretentious about." ”

"What do you want to be pretentious?" Su Mala's eyebrows curled, and she broke Yu'er's thoughts, "I want to say that I am young, so I will be a grandmother and run the family?" ”

Yu'er smiled and pretended to be angry: "Do you think I'm old?" ”

Su Mala shook her head: "It's not old at all, really." ”

The master and servant said that there was no such thing, until the small kitchen brought food, sat down and ate a few bites, and said that the third elder brother is now practicing martial arts and studying, and he is working hard at a young age, and sure enough, the children who leave their relatives will grow up quickly.

But he never mentioned what the mother and son said, so that one of them was angry at Yuan Xi and walked away, and the other was so angry that he wanted to go back to Shengjing.

Su Mala knows Gege's temper very well, she has been like this since she was young, she feels that if there is something that she really can't get by, she will run away and want to avoid it.

It's a pity that she had the arrogance and tolerance of her husband, aunt, and sister in the palace back then, and there was a cousin of Fourteen Fujin outside the palace, and there were a lot of people who spoiled her inside and out, and now, she is alone.

The only son who can be relied on doesn't seem to have grown up yet.

At night, Yu'er leaned on the head of the bed and asked Su Mala if she would still sing the long tune of Horqin, and listened to Su Mala hum a few times, she disliked it and said with a smile: "We have all forgotten our ancestors." ”

She closed her eyes and slept, and in the candlelight, what Su Mala could see was Gege's disgust with the red world, as if even if her body could not leave here, it was enough to seek a momentary escape in her dreams.

Su Mala guarded for a long time, until the red candle burned out, and then quietly pushed it out. Yu'er's tears were endured until Su Mala left, and then they flowed.

What is loneliness, crying in the middle of the night, and no one will know?

At dawn the next day, Su Mala took the snacks made in the small kitchen of Cining Palace, and took advantage of the breakfast time to come to Jingren Palace.

Su Mala took with him a few pieces of broken silver, and gave them all as gifts.

A few little eunuchs whispered: "Auntie, Concubine Tong's dinner last night was sent back without moving, I'm afraid it won't be unwell." ”

Su Mala ordered them not to talk too much, and ordered the accompanying palace maids to fetch some food, and then walked into the inner hall alone, where Yuan Xi had already combed his hair in front of the mirror platform.

"Say hello to my aunt." Vanilla put down the comb and saluted, Su Mala gave a look, and they retreated in amusement.

"Slave and maid comb your hair." Su Mala stepped forward and said with a smile, "You're up late today." ”

Yuan Xi's eyes were swollen and swollen, Su Mala didn't know if she hadn't slept well last night, or if she cried too much, but she didn't mention it or ask, and gently combed the young child's hair, while saying: "The third elder brother sent the slave to the door yesterday, and asked the slave to tell the maid that he misses you." ”

"Xuan Ye is so naughty, let you worry about it." Yuan Xi's voice was hoarse, tired and haggard, so sunny and bright, as if he was wilted by the frost of early autumn.

"The third elder brother is well-behaved, when will the mother be free, can I take a look?" Su Mala said, "You see the slaves and maids coming and going, so don't scruple about it. ”

Yuan Xi bowed his head: "I'm kind and scruples, but I'm afraid that people won't be able to see it at all, and I'm also busy in vain." ”

Su Mala coiled his hair for Yuan Xi, fixed the green silk with a hairpin, and then asked: "Niangniang, what did the emperor and the queen mother say yesterday?" ”

Yuan Xi shook his head: "Auntie, the Queen Mother wants me to forget, even if the Queen Mother doesn't say it, I won't say it to anyone again, I'm sorry for you." ”

Su Mala agreed, took the jewelry plate, and asked Yuan Xi to choose the jewel hairpin, Yuan Xi took one casually, and had no intention of dressing himself up.

"Niangniang, if the Queen Mother wants to go to Shengjing for the winter, are you willing to follow?" Su Mala asked.

Yuan Xi looked at Su Mala in the mirror blankly: "Back to Shengjing?" ”

Su Mala still asked, "Is Niangniang willing to go?" ”

Yuan Xi had tears in his eyes, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and he said to Su Mala: "Auntie, I'm afraid that I will leave and never come back." I'm afraid I'll get out of his heart completely. ”

Su Mala nodded: "Yes, once separated, I'm afraid I will really forget." ”

Yuan Xi choked: "Auntie, I'm not promising." ”

Su Mala squatted down, held Yuan Xi's hand and said, "Don't say that, Niangniang, isn't the Queen Mother unproductive?" ”

Yuan Xi burst into tears, unable to speak, she was really aggrieved and frightened.

She never imagined that the relationship between mother and son would be so bad that this field, how could Fu Lin say such things to his mother, Yuan Xi was so frightened that he couldn't close his eyes all night.

"What you heard from Mrs. Tong is that the proud and domineering Yu Fujin used to be the one who was held in the palm of his hand." Su Mala's eyes were slightly moist, "But now, she spreads her wings to protect her children, above her, there is frost, rain and snow, wind and thunderstorm, and there is no shelter." ”

"Yes......" Yuan Xi has been with the Queen Mother for six years, and has long respected and loved her as a biological mother, but she is so distressed at the moment that she can't bear to cry.

"So, please forgive the slave and maid for their selfishness, and force you to be aggrieved and patient, whether it is the imperial concubine or the ......emperor, Su Mala changed from squatting to kneeling, "Niangniang, the only person the slave can entrust is you." ”

Yuan Xi asked Su Mala to get up, and he also stood up from his seat, took a long breath, calmed down and said: "Auntie, don't worry, I will hand over Xuanye to you, and you will hand over the Queen Mother to me, I know what to do." At least there is one more person in this palace who can listen to him. ”

Before the words fell, a little palace maid broke in front of the door, it was someone from Cining Palace, and she said anxiously: "Auntie, go back quickly, the Queen Mother is burning so badly that she can't wake up." ”

Su Mala suddenly felt a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and his internal organs were all twisted together, so he didn't care about saying anything, left Yuan Xi and went straight back to Cining Palace.

Yuan Xi hurriedly dressed and followed, the imperial doctor had already come several times, and he thought of reducing the fever for the queen mother first.

The news reached the Qianqing Palace, the emperor stopped the early dynasty and rushed to come, standing outside the door with an iron face, except for the people in Cining Palace, no one knows what happened to the mother and son yesterday, as soon as Fulin saw Yuan Xi, his eyes were in a trance, and his heart floated away.

When the queen arrived, even Jiayin rushed over with her stomach, and when Fulin saw her, she wanted to go over and care, but when she thought of the current situation, she still couldn't help it.

After a long time, the imperial doctor came out sweating profusely and told the emperor that he could not reduce the fever for the queen mother for the time being, so he could only protect his head with a cold handkerchief first, but begged not to burn his head, and the rest would see if the medicine could work after being poured down.

"What is the illness of the Queen Mother?" The queen asked anxiously, "Was it okay yesterday morning?" ”

"Back to the queen's mother, the queen mother is not seriously ill, like a cold, but not." The Imperial Physician was anxious and said as tactfully as possible, "People eat grains...... It's inevitable, it's inevitable ......"

If it was a normal day, Fulin would definitely be angry and scolded the imperial doctor for being perfunctory, but today he understands better than anyone else that his mother was angry with him.

His brain was hot yesterday, and he actually said such things to Eniang, and even felt at that moment that he could be angry with his mother, and he was also angry.

How could he be so vicious, how could he be twisted like this, Fu Lin regretted it, and wished he could be sick for his mother.

Yu'er had a high fever and couldn't wake up, everyone who could go to the hospital was on it, the concubines were waiting outside the Cining Palace and didn't dare to leave, and the ministers heard that the queen mother was seriously ill, so they also gathered in the court room to wait for news.

The atmosphere in the Forbidden City was solemn, Yuan Xi saw that he couldn't intervene, and Sister Jiayin was working very hard with her stomach, so she said that she would send her back.

The queen ordered Concubine Chen and Krinala to go back to rest, saying, "Don't make any more trouble, you all go back." ”

Jia Yin didn't dare to insist, so she had to follow Yuan Xi away.

Along the way, after Concubine Chen and Krinara left, Yuan Xi supported Jia Yin, and before she could speak, Jia Yin took the initiative to say: "What can I do, I look at the emperor's expression, and I feel that the queen mother's illness seems to be ...... It has nothing to do with the emperor. ”

Yuan Xi smiled: "My sister can now see through the emperor's thoughts. ”

Jia Yin lowered her eyes: "You just say to me, Yuan Xi, what can I do, I will do my best." ”
