As the night deepened, Zhezhe fell into a coma, and the spirit of meeting Wu Keshan today seemed to be like a return to the light, and since then, he has not even had the strength to wake up and drink medicine.

Yu'er waited by her aunt's side, even if her aunt was asleep, she would not leave, and instructed Su Mala to send a message to Wu Keshan, telling him to stay in the capital and not leave for the time being: "He is also old, and he can't bear to run back and forth for such a long time, let Wu Keshan stay." ”

Su Mala came to pass the word in person, Wu Keshan was very polite to her, but what he said made Su Mala very helpless, the prince of their family is really thinking about the future of Horqin all the time.

Wu Keshan asked her to take more care of Meng Guqing in the future, saying that in the future, there will be many concubines in the emperor's harem, so don't let Meng Guqing be bullied.

Su Mala was perfunctory, and after returning to the palace, she didn't mention it to Yu'er, nothing is as important as the illness of the queen mother at the moment, this kind of thing is meaningless.

The next day, Fulin stopped all his schoolwork and went to Qixiang Palace to serve the decoction for his mother-in-law, originally not planning to let Yatu and them come to Beijing, and re-ordered to recall Yatu and several other married princesses. But Zhezhe didn't want to see her daughter who married far away at this moment, it was really her temperament that had never changed in her life.

In the early morning of April 17, Zhezhe woke up from his slumber and saw Yu'er sleeping on the side of the bed, and stretched out his hand to stroke her sideburns in distress. ”

Zhezhe asked her to come closer, reached out and stroked her dry and rough cheeks, these days Yu'er served her day and night to guard her, and ruined the skin that had been cultivated with great difficulty after returning from Horqin.

She used to love beauty so much, when she first arrived in the capital, those Han officials looked at her in surprise and couldn't believe it, such a young and beautiful woman had become a widow, and she was already a queen mother, but it was only a few years, and her jade child was aging rapidly.

There was a sound of neat footsteps in front of the door, it was Fu Lin who came to the door, this child in order to serve his mother-in-law, got up every day than usual, and rushed to the court, to see Zhezhe.

Zhezhe didn't have much strength to speak, he touched Fulin's hand, and asked him to go to the court, Su Mala sent the emperor's crown, and Yu'er put it on him personally, Fulin's height is getting higher and higher, and he has surpassed Yu'er.

"The emperor is going up...... Zhezhe whispered, watching Fu Lin salute and watching him leave.

"In a few days, I'll have to put my feet on him before I can crown him." Yu'er returned to her aunt, "Fulin still followed the first emperor, and he will definitely be tall in the future." ”

Zhezhe was very relieved and looked at Yu'er with a smile, and Yu'er asked her, "Auntie, do you want to eat anything today?" ”

"I want to see you sleep for a while, and I feel at ease when I see you asleep." Zhezhe said distressedly, "Look at you haggard, your eyes are black and black." ”

Yu'er knew that her aunt didn't have the strength to speak, so just a few words, which made her breath mess up, and hurriedly said, "I'll just lie next to my aunt, okay?" ”

Zhezhe obviously hesitated, she was sick for a long time, how could she let her niece lie beside her, but without waiting for her to refuse, Yu'er took off her coat, climbed straight up, and leaned against her.

Zhezhe was powerless to stop him, so he could only smile and try to turn sideways and look at Yu'er.

"I'm asleep......" Yu'er smiled and closed her eyes, but when she closed her eyes, she couldn't pretend anymore, she thought that with her eyes closed, she could prevent tears from flowing, but the tears flowing from the corners of her eyes had already betrayed her.

Zhezhe's fingers gently slid through her tears, and said gently, "Sleep, Yu'er, my aunt is here." ”

Da Yu'er didn't dare to open her eyes, for fear of disappointing her aunt, she had done too many things in her life that made her aunt angry and disappointed, and now it was too late to want everything to go her way.

Only in front of her aunt will she forget that she is almost forty years old, and once her aunt leaves......

"Auntie." Yu'er closed her eyes and asked with a little crying, "Auntie, do you love Huang Taiji?" ”

"Love ......," Cheol-cheol replied, "Of course my aunt loves him." ”

There was silence in the dormitory, Da Yu'er bit her lips tightly, tears gushing out like a river, and she couldn't help but sob.

"Yu'er, do you hate me?"

The bowls of prosthetic pills, the legs that had to be raised high after every cloud and rain, and everything she had to endure suddenly recalled, Da Yu'er almost didn't remember that she had lived such a life.

The arrival of her sister made her past days a blank, and all the bits and pieces of her life disappeared with her wishful love for Huang Taiji.

She never believed that her aunt had no feelings for Huang Taiji, how could it be.

Yu'er finally opened her eyes and looked at her aunt, Zhezhe didn't cry, she was gentle and weak, and asked with a smile again: "Yu'er, do you hate me?" ”

Da Yu'er nodded, she hated.

Zhezhe held her cheek, as if using his last strength and said, "Yu'er, even if you hate your aunt and you hate Huang Taiji, you have to go down this road." Every person who comes into the world has his own mission. You were born rich and wealthy, and you have no worries about food and clothing all your life, so you have to hold up a piece of heaven for those who grow food and weave cloth for you. ”

"Auntie, why do you have to be my ......" Yu'er cried sadly.

"Yu'er, you have no choice." Zhezhe smiled and said, "Yu'er, you have to go down bravely...... Go to ......"

Zhezhe closed his eyes, and his dry hand fell in front of Yu'er, who was stunned for a long time, and the light in her eyes disappeared.

She grabbed her aunt's hand, felt her gradually getting colder, put her aunt's hand on her cheek, she closed her eyes: "Auntie, I'm sleeping, don't worry......"

On April 17 of the sixth year of Shunzhi, the Empress Dowager Borzigit died of illness at the age of 51.

The Qing Dynasty held the most solemn funeral since entering the customs, the whole capital fell into a pale, the clan nobles, civil and military officials and Mrs. Fujin, all entered the palace to mourn, Su Su took off the crown, to show mourning.

Yu'er ordered that the funeral of the mother-in-law, according to the specifications of the first emperor's death, the first sacrifice, the main sacrifice, the deduction sacrifice, the monthly sacrifice, the hundred days of sacrifice, etc., are not exempted, and in February of the following year, the coffin of the queen mother returned to Shengjing Zhaoling, and the first emperor was buried and rested.

Ten days after Zhezhe's death, Yatu and other married princesses had just rushed back to the capital, and Yu'er could already calmly watch them cry in front of the queen mother's spirit.

Standing on the empty and solemn hall, the majesty revealed under her thin figure, as if a person who had lost her husband, sister, children, and aunt who loved her the most, was already fearless in this world.

"Let them stay for a while." Yu'er said to Su Mala, "The others go back to their respective princesses' mansions, and Yatu and Atul stay and send them back to Yongshou Palace." ”

"Yes." Su Mala replied, but had to ask, "Gege, where are you going now?" ”

"I made an appointment with Dolgon to see the renovation of Cining Palace." Yu'er said, "It's just the hour." ”

Sure enough, Dolgon had already been waiting in Cining Palace, and Yu'er brought the palace people over, ordered them to wait outside the door, and walked in alone.

She was covered with plain clothes, and her complexion was pale, and the one who appeared in front of Dolgon was no longer the bright and smiling little Fujin of the past, but as long as she smiled slightly, Dolgon's heart would float, and what he loved was never Bumu Butai's face, he knew.

"You'll be able to move in this time next year." Dolgon said, "I'm afraid that there will be any mistakes, a little damage, I will let them demolish and rebuild, and fill the warm kang under the open window, and read by the window in the future, and I am not afraid of the cold under my body." ”

The two of them looked at each room, Cining Palace has an independent dining room and a pantry, the pantry room is very spacious, and there are several large water tanks, Yu'er knows that it is used to store mountain spring water, and every sip of water she and Fulin eats, and even for bathing, is a mountain spring that was transported back from the mountains.

"I've thought about it, don't let Concubine Shu and the others live in, won't it become the appearance of Shengjing again." Dolgon seemed to be taking Yu'er to see his home, and he had the final say, "Build another palace group in the easternmost part for the future concubines and concubines to live in, and you yourself will be quiet and spacious here." ”

"Such a big place, living alone, how deserted." Yu'er said, "If I move the study in again, I won't even have to go out of the door in the back, and I'll be locked up again, right?" ”

"Of course not, the entire Forbidden City, the whole Beijing, and even the entire Qing Dynasty, you can go and walk." Dolgon said, "Now that Jiangnan is gradually becoming peaceful, as long as you want, I can take you and Fu Lin down to Jiangnan." ”

Yu'er smiled: "I don't dare to go, I'm still honestly staying here." ”

Dolgon said embarrassedly: "I won't be lonely here, after the wedding, I have the prince and grandson, and those daughters-in-law, who come to you every day to accompany you, but I'm afraid you will still be noisy." ”

Da Yu'er looked straight at Dolgon, as if reading his heart, did Dolgon mean what he said? On a whim, or perfunctory for her to let her let her down?

"Dolgon, are you really not going to be emperor?" She asked straight to the point, bluffing Dorgon into taking a step back.
