"Yinzhen ......" son's words made Lan Qi panic, her fourth elder brother actually said that he was afraid, he had never said such things when he was young, and now he is a big child, but he came to cry to his mother, saying that he was afraid.

The fourth elder brother raised his hand to wipe away his tears, wanting to stubbornly not cry, but the tears couldn't help but come out, the sadness of crying in Cining Palace didn't seem to have dissipated, I don't know how the brothers were, he still felt sad from the bottom of his heart every day, and he couldn't stop for a while at this moment, he was going to wipe away his tears, but now he was crying with his mouth covered.

Seeing the child trembling all over again, Lan Qi's heart was about to break, and she opened her arms carefully, how afraid that the fourth elder brother would be disgusted by her overly intimate behavior, but the child did not reject it, and when she completely hugged her son into her arms, her trembling body with Yinzhen's sobbing seemed to gradually wake up.

"Fourth elder brother, I'll be fine, and the imperial concubine will be fine, how can we make you afraid? With us here, with Huang Ama here, don't be afraid of anything for the fourth elder brother. Lan Qi said softly, she didn't want to cry, she wanted to be a strong mother in front of her son, but why did tears keep pouring out, why did she think of Yinzhen sitting on the steps and crying on her first birthday, why she thought of the first time he called her mother in Cining Palace, why she suddenly understood what the Queen Mother's "really good" meant.

"Eniang, you all have to be well." Yinzhen whimpered, struggled a little to raise her head, saw her tearful mother, reached out to wipe away her tears, but he screamed, and Lan Qi couldn't stop her tears, Yinzhen looked at her uneasily, and finally said, "If you cry again, I'll leave." ”

Lan Qi shook her head, looked down at her son, her aggrieved appearance was pitiful, and she made Yinzhen soft-hearted, and hurriedly coaxed her: "Let's not cry, Eniang, the great grandmother won't think that we will cry all the time, she will feel distressed." ”

Huanchun and a few people stood outside the door, vaguely heard a few conversations, and gradually became quieter and quieter, she was about to lean over to take a look at the scene, the fourth elder brother suddenly flashed out and said to them: "You fetch hot water and wash your mother's face." ”

When the little palace maid outside the door heard this, she quickly took hot water, Huanchun and Yukui came in together, and served the mother to wash her face and face with the fourth elder brother, and the fourth elder brother also washed her face.

The mother and son were both cleaned up, Lan Qi was dying, leaning on the big pillow tiredly, Yin Zhen stood on the side of the couch and took her hand and said, "E-Niang, I'm leaving, I can't stay too long, I'll come to see you tomorrow, you have to be well." ”

Lan Qi's eyes were wet again, but she was afraid that her son would be angry, so she couldn't hold back her tears, nodded and saw her son leave, Huanchun sent the fourth elder brother back, and sure enough, she saw the master crying again, and sighed: "The master is not obedient, you promised the fourth elder brother not to cry." ”

"I want to...... If Yinzuo is still there, is he comforting me, or am I coaxing him. For Lan Qi, although the past ten years have been glorious and envied by everyone, the pain she has experienced is less and less than what she has experienced at this moment, and she has lost her greatest support, she has spent most of her time in Cining Palace for more than ten years, and she suddenly doesn't know the future life, how should she deal with the long time day after day.

Huanchun didn't dare to provoke the master's sadness, and quietly accompanied him for a long time, Lan Qi finally calmed down, breathed a long sigh of relief, drank the medicine for the fetus, and rested for a long time before saying to Huanchun: "The fourth elder brother came to tell the people below not to go outside to talk about it, especially the imperial concubine Niangniang, if she mentions it, let's nod and deal with it, if you don't mention it, you can't say it." The child cares a lot about the feelings of the imperial concubine and me, Huanchun, guess what, what did Yinzhen say to me? ”

Seeing that his master's expression was calm, Huanchun breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and laughed softly: "What did you say?" The slave couldn't guess. ”

Lan Qi smiled slightly, and said happily: "Yinzhen said that he doesn't think it's strange that he has an adoptive mother and a biological mother, but compared to his brothers, he has two mothers who hurt, and he also hurts two mothers in his heart." But he said that I have the queen mother's pain, the emperor's pain, and so many children under my knees, but the imperial concubine does not have so many people's pain, so he has to hurt his adoptive mother more, he knows that I have been cared for by others, and he is very relieved. ”

Huan Chun's eyes were red when he heard this, and he choked up: "But now that the fourth elder brother knows that you have no queen mother, you have one less person to hurt." ”

Lan Qi nodded tearfully, but this time, she really didn't want to cry anymore, and said strongly: "He is still a child after all, and the imperial concubine and I are both lingering on the sickbed, which scares him." I can't do this anymore, the Queen Mother left me, I can't leave the children too, even if I go with the Queen Mother, she will be unhappy to see me. ”

Huanchun said angrily: "The slave maid said that her mouth is worn out, if you don't raise your eyelids, the fourth elder brother will be able to say a few words, why doesn't the slave's mind count?" ”

Lan Qi pulled her pitifully and said coquettishly: "Don't vomit me, can't I be fine?" You have to be good, follow me, it's really hard. ”

Huan Chun sighed: "The slave maid is a big palace maid, the rough work and heavy work are not sticky, follow you in Cining Palace, the things in front of the Empress Dowager are also you Zhang Luo, and other people who have their own Cining Palace are in charge, and the slave and maid are just watching there every day, it is really not hard at all, it is you who are hard." ”

Lan Qi remembered the old days of Cining Palace again, was sad for a while, and silently did not speak.

Huanchun said again: "Does Niangniang know? On the day of the death of the Empress Dowager, the imperial physician once said to Su Mala, your body is terrible, I don't know where you come from, the spirit accompanies the Empress Dowager every day, but if you don't rest well, the fetus and the mother will be in danger of life, but on that day, the Empress Dowager is gone, you say the old man, do you know? No one feels more sorry for you than the Queen Mother, how can she give you up to have three long and two short, for the sake of the Queen Mother's heart, you also have to take care of it. ”

Lan Qi had tears in her eyes and couldn't speak, so she just nodded in agreement.

"Niangniang raise her spirit better, the Empress Dowager's Zigong is about to be moved out of the palace, the slave thinks, before the emperor goes out, can you go to see the emperor?" Huanchun said worriedly, "Father-in-law Liang said that the emperor has not eaten or drunk for several days, and the whole person is dumbfounded, compared to the time when Queen Hesheri was born, it was nothing. ”

Lan Qi's heart tightened, and she suddenly remembered Xuan Ye's sad figure in the rain back then, if that was nothing, how sad and decadent should Xuan Ye be now?

But her body is not allowed to leave the bed, even Huanchun feels that if the master can go to Cining Palace to visit the emperor, even if it is not in accordance with the rules, it is always a comfort to the emperor, but the pregnant woman is too weak, even if the mood is stable in the next few days, she can't bear the imperial doctor's repeated instructions: "Niangniang must not get out of bed, you must lie quietly." ”

Everyone was waiting for the moment when the little life was going to come out by itself, and before that, the weak mother couldn't do anything, seeing that the day when the Empress Dowager Zigong was moved was just around the corner, Lan Qi knew that she wouldn't be able to see him until Xuan Ye came back.

It's okay not to see each other, don't see each other's decadence and haggardness, wait for this period to pass, some days are by his side, calm down the two people are not worried about it at all, she understands that only by giving birth to the child in her womb safely can she plan for the future.

Before the Empress Dowager Zigong was moved, the emperor issued a decree, as the Empress Dowager wished before her death, the mausoleum of the Empress Dowager was not buried with Taizong, but temporarily rested in the Eastern Mausoleum of the Qing Dynasty in Jingdong, and the emperor even lived in the five rooms of the East Palace of Cining Palace where the Empress Dowager lived during her lifetime, and demolished and built at the foot of Changrui Mountain, called "Temporary Peace", and stopped in it.

The five palaces of Cining Palace were demolished and built under Changrui Mountain, in the funeral since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, there was no such a grand move, the emperor did not want his grandmother to be lonely and lonely under Changrui Mountain, not only moved the palace where she lived before her death, but also asked Gonggong Li to count all the eunuchs and palace maids who had served the Empress Dowager in Cining Palace and sent them to the temporary palace to guard the mausoleum.

Because they didn't want to give their grandmother a grudge and didn't want to be forced to go to guard the mausoleum, the eunuchs and palace maids cursed day and night, and this time they all went voluntarily, and Gonggong Li was the first to ask for orders to guard the mausoleum for the Empress Dowager, and there were many people in the Cining Palace who took care of the Empress Dowager, and most of them were willing to go.

Only Su Mala Mama was not allowed to spend the rest of her life in the temporary palace, and the emperor promised that his grandmother would take care of this old lady who was as kind to the Qing Dynasty royal family, and temporarily placed her in Ningshou Palace with the queen mother as a companion, and repeatedly said that the concubines and princes should respect Mama.

Everything was going on in an orderly manner, the night before the Empress Dowager Zigong moved out of the palace, Lan Qi wanted to cheer up and go to Cining Palace, but she couldn't stand it when she sat up, and she gave up for the sake of the long term.

In the second half of the night, the wind and snow were blowing, as if God was crying for the last time for this great woman who had gone through three dynasties and supported two generations of young masters, and the wind and snow lasted for two hours, and the snow that was only swept away in the garden of Yonghe Palace during the day was thick with a layer of snow.

Because the palaces have not closed the door at night these days, when Huanchun heard the sound of clattering snow, she noticed that someone was coming from the door, since the little eunuch outside the door did not rush to report, she guessed which one it was, but at the moment this scene should not come, nervously ran out to see, sure enough, she saw the emperor under the eaves, she hurriedly bent her knees: "Long live Lord, why are you here?" ”

In the dim light, the emperor's face could not be seen clearly, but in the faint figure, the emperor's figure was obviously thin, Huanchun didn't dare to say anything more, got up and lifted the thick curtain, and said softly: "Your Majesty, Niangniang is asleep, do you want the slave to wake up Niangniang?" ”
