Returning from the imperial tomb that day, Yu'er was in excellent spirits, took the children, turned the five palaces on the stage, and walked to the Ten Kings Pavilion.

There is also a sand table used by Huang Taiji to arrange troops in the past, and the Chongzheng Hall is the place where Yu'er dressed up as a palace maid and finally served Huang Taiji to take care of the government.

The princes' study, as well as her study, and even the imperial dining room, everything is the same as it was thirty years ago.

Following the Empress Dowager to listen to the story of the year, even Lingzhao was full of interest, but the next day, Yu'er fell ill.

The Empress Dowager had a high fever and couldn't wake up, and the imperial doctor said that she was infected with a severe wind chill, which frightened Xuan Ye to push everything away and stay by her grandmother's side every step of the way.

Shu Shu blamed herself for letting the Empress Dowager sit on the cold stone, but Su Mala persuaded her: "The Empress Dowager's illness is an illness that has been saved for thirty years, and she has done everything she promised Taizong, and now she really wants to leave at this moment, Queen Mother, let's let her go." ”

"Mama......" Shu Shu held back tears.

Su Mala said with tears in her eyes: "Niangniang, the emperor himself said that the imperial grandmother should not stop her wherever she wants to go." ”

After Shu Shu calmed himself, he entered the door and saw Xuan Ye kneeling on the edge of the bed with his feet on his feet, his hands folded against his forehead.

When I got closer, I heard him read: "You said that you will never let your grandson become an orphan, the imperial grandmother...... You can't leave me behind. ”

"Your Majesty."

"Shu Shu......" Xuan Ye raised his face full of tears, "What did the imperial grandmother say to you that day on the mountain?" Is the royal grandmother leaving? Is she going to leave us behind? ”

Shu Shu shook his head, knelt down and said, "The imperial grandmother is tired, she is already sixty years old. Xuan Ye, don't cry, the imperial grandmother is still alive, what are you crying about? ”

"I ......"

"Your Majesty, go and do everything you need to do." Shu Shu said, "If you stay here like this, not only will the clan ministers of Shengjing panic, but it will also spread to the capital soon." The country is unshakable, and the imperial grandmother is precisely the weight of the national capital, the emperor, the imperial grandmother will get better, definitely. ”

"I don't want to go anywhere, I want to stay here." Xuan Ye turned around, "If you are willing to do those things, you will do them." ”

Shu Shu said: "The affairs of the court, the concubines can't do it, but I will definitely be able to take care of the imperial grandmother, the emperor, believe me, okay?" ”

Xuan Ye didn't look back, and said coldly: "You step down, I have to stay by the emperor's grandmother." ”

Shu Shu didn't speak again, and sat quietly on his knees, for a long time, Xuan Ye let out a long sigh, and finally turned around and helped Shu Shu up.

"Your Majesty, ministers, waiting for you in the Chongzheng Palace."

"I'm losing my temper with you."

Shu Shu shook his head: "The emperor will go up, I will take care of the imperial grandmother." ”

Xuan Ye wiped the tears from the corners of Shu Shu's eyes: "I don't cry, you are not allowed to cry, you are right, the imperial grandmother is still alive." ”

In front of the door, Su Mala sent the boiled decoction, Xuan Ye explained a few words, and then left without a head.

Shu Shu helped Mama pour the decoction into the mouth of the Queen Mother, and the unconscious person couldn't swallow it, and a bowl of medicine leaked more than half, and she was afraid of choking her.

After feeding the medicine, Shu Shu and Su Mala were sweating profusely.

In the evening of that day, Shu Shu fell asleep on the back of the chair, feeling that someone had covered himself with something, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that it was Lingzhao.

"Mother, you will catch a cold when you sit and sleep." Ling Zhao said, "You're tired for a day, it's better to change the concubines here, you go and rest first." ”

Shu Shu said: "The Queen Mother is timid, if you are by your side, she can feel more at ease." Chenghu also loves to be close to you, just to be able to take her. ”

Ling Zhao was silent, looked at the Empress Dowager, and unconsciously tightened the handkerchief in his hand.

Shu Shu said gently: "It's going to be fine, the imperial grandmother has a fever, and the grandmother said that the imperial grandmother is tired, and she will wake up when she sleeps." ”

Ling Zhao nodded, took the hot tea from the side and handed it to Shu Shu, Shu Shu took the tea: "You go back, don't worry about it, the Queen Mother and Chenghu will hand it over to you, and I'll give it to me here." ”

"Niangniang......" Ling Zhao said, "It's been a few months, and there is a sentence that the concubine has always wanted to say, I can't help you with all the things before." In fact, the concubine understands very well that it is you who are magnanimous, otherwise with the dignity of the queen, why should you tolerate me. ”

Shu Shu smiled: "Even if you say such things, you also have the temperament of your daily life, but I think it's okay like this, Concubine Zhao will always be Concubine Zhao, why should you be polished or changed for the sake of others?" As for between you and me, as long as you are wholeheartedly the emperor, I will protect you, and that is also my responsibility. On that day, I said, may we be at peace with each other in the future, but I just figured it out, why do we have to be sisters and friends, don't we? ”

Ling Zhao said: "Thank you, Niangniang." ”

Shu Shu smiled: "Go back quickly, Chenghu is in a hurry, don't be angry with the Queen Mother." ”

"Don't worry, the second elder brother is obedient and cute, please take care." Behind Ling Zhaofu, he retreated.

A gust of cold wind came in, making Shu Shu feel a little more energetic, got up and walked to the window, and through the window paper, he could vaguely see Lingzhao's figure walking towards Qingning Palace.

In the inner palace of Shengjing, door to door, window to window, how did the imperial grandmother survive night after night, but I was afraid that even whoever walked by outside the door could hear the footsteps.

Xuan Ye said that he didn't know if one day, like Taizong and Emperor Xian, would suddenly meet the so-called true love, but even if there was that day, under the high walls of Kunning Palace, she could be out of sight.

Shu Shu moistened the handkerchief, came to wipe the sweat on Yu'er's neck, and said with a smile: "Grandmother Huang, the emperor will not have that day, never." ”

Xuan Ye came in from outside the door, heard half of the sentence, and hurriedly asked, "What are you talking about?" The royal grandmother woke up? ”

Shu Shu said: "The fever is gone, the emperor can rest assured." ”

Xuan Ye breathed a sigh of relief, cheered up and said, "The things that should be handled today are all done, Queen Mother, can I stay here?" ”

Shu Shu smiled: "This palace is approved." ”

This night, until the middle of the night, Yu'er woke up in a daze, she seemed to have slept for a long time, but the pain all over her body made her understand that she was sick.

Turning his head sideways, on the warm kang opposite, Xuan Ye and Shu Shu snuggled up to each other, I don't know when they fell asleep, but they slept quite soundly.

Yu'er thought about it, closed her eyes, and continued to sleep while she was still awake, even if it was ...... It's not a bad thing to never wake up again.

This trip, is it considered to be a return to his hometown, Huang Taiji's wish, Yu'er completed it for him, even if he can't give up his grandson, but Yu'er understands that even if she dies now, Xuan Ye will not be alone.

"Will you come and pick me up?" Yu'er closed her eyes and gave herself the answer, "I know, you won't come, and I won't go looking for you." ”

However, God did not intend to end Borzigit Bumubutai's life, and two days later, Yu'er was completely sober.

Although she was still weak, she had the spirit and appetite, and she was in a cheerful mood, she said to Shu Shu and Lingzhao that in the days before Concubine Chen's death, she was clean and neatly dressed every day, and she had never seen someone who wanted to live so strongly.

"Don't look at the small place here, there are a lot of stories." Yu'er said to a few children, "In a few decades, there will be your story in the Forbidden City, and the imperial grandmother hopes that you good children will not live in vain." ”

The happiest person is none other than Xuan Ye, in the past few years, he still does not reserve his dependence on his grandmother, and when his grandmother recovers, the emperor has the interest to take the ministers to hunt, set up a banquet in the Ten Kings Pavilion to invite the ministers, and even rode a horse to various places around Shengjing to inspect the people's conditions.

Just ten days passed in a blink of an eye, Xuan Ye considered his grandmother's health, and wanted to postpone the day of returning to Luan, but Yu'er said that the emperor should not leave Beijing for too long, they could walk slower on the road, at least they would go to the capital, stay in Shengjing, and be uneasy.

The holy car set off for Beijing as scheduled, and it took fifteen days to return to Beijing, and what was waiting for everyone in the palace was sad news, the eldest princess was seriously ill, and the three-year-old child was already dying.

A month ago, the little doll was still pestering Yu'er to be coquettish with "great grandmother, great grandmother", but she didn't see her for more than a month, and she had to be separated forever.

Yu'er was reluctant to give up the girls, so she went to her brother's house to visit the sick children, holding her little palms like knives.

The nurses knelt on the side, and the imperial doctor said tremblingly: "The eldest princess rubbed her arm while playing, and although the ministers tried their best to clean the wounds, they still did not avoid tetanus, which is the crime of the ministers." ”

"You say so with your mouth, but in your heart you think, how good it would be to spare your life." Yu'er said coldly, "Four or five people take care of a child, but they can't take care of it well, how should this sin be counted?" ”

The nurses were already crying with fright, and fell to the ground trembling.

Yu'er sighed and instructed Su Mala: "Find her E-niang and take a look at the child at the end." ”
