In the dimness, Chu Xizhi smelled a familiar fragrance, he slowly opened his eyes, and sure enough, he touched the face that had been depicted by him countless times in his dreams.

"Why are you here?" He pushed himself to his feet.

Xiao Xiwei's eyes turned red, "How long will Your Majesty snub your concubines." ”

Chu Xi was stunned, looking at the red and swollen eyes in front of him, a trace of apprehension flashed in his heart, could it be that Du Er didn't do what he said? However, the person in front of him seemed to want him to think about it any more, and he only heard her aggrieved and sad voice.

"It's a pity, I'm cold ......"

Chu Xizhi's eyes moved, looking at the eyes that were full of tears, even if there were a thousand words of rejection in his heart, he couldn't say anything.

He can reject all the people in this world, but she can't.

She's his life......

The corners of Chu Xizhi's lips moved, and after a while, he sighed, lifted the quilt with one hand, and took Xiao Xiwei into his arms with the other.

He hadn't seen her for nearly three months, and now, when he held her in his arms again, he obviously felt that she had lost a lot of weight.

Reliving a life, he is glad that she is smart now, but now, he would rather she still be the simple and ignorant Xiao Xiwei, because in this way, he doesn't have to hide it so hard, but in the end he can't escape her exquisite heart.

"What did he tell you?" He hugged her hard, his slender fingertips gently running through her cold green silk, and finally landed on her fingertips, interlocking with her five fingers.

"Du'e, he, he said that His Majesty is sick, very sick......" Xiao Xi turned his face slightly and buried his face deep in Chu Xizhi's chest, not wanting him to see the tears in his eyes.

His chest was still hot, his heartbeat was still steady and powerful, and the smell of his body was the same as before, but she could no longer find the sweetness she had been. The thought of her going to lose him made her wish she had died first......

Chu Xizhi's eyebrows skipped a beat, did he really only tell her this?

"It's a pity, don't push me away, and don't use Concubine Shu to anger me, I know, I know everything...... I'll be with you, I'll always be with you. Xiao Xi wrapped his arms around Chu Xizhi's waist slightly, tears soaked the placket on his chest, and his voice sounded in his chest.

A sourness in his chest kept churning, and he hugged Xiao Xiwei in his arms, only to feel that the emptiness of the past few months was suddenly filled.

He closed his eyes and sighed faintly in his heart.

That's it......

Let him be more selfish, he is really reluctant, his time is short, who knows how many days there will be when he can really hold her in his arms like now.

That's it......

After this night, the queen moved into the Chongde Palace, and the favored concubine who was originally waiting in the Chongde Hall fell out of favor overnight, but no one had time to care about a concubine without any back, and the harmony between the emperor and the queen was the most important thing for the courtiers.

Chu Xizhi goes to the court on time every day, and after the court, he will lead Xiao Xiwei to the imperial garden for a walk, and occasionally pass the two princes to take the school homework, whenever this time, Xiao Xiwei will always hold Yaoguang and watch quietly next to him, and at night, Xiao Xiwei will always lean on Chu Xizhi's shoulder and talk to him about household chores, such as she fell in love with Xiang Mingxuan's daughter and wanted to set her for Ye'er, and for example, Xiao Xiwei wrote to say that he and Zuizhi gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, saying that they would have time to go to Wucheng to drink...... Most of the time, she said, Chu Xizhi listened with a smile over there, and occasionally signaled that he was listening to him, but more often he fell asleep tired when he listened, and at this time, Xiao Xiwei would always stretch out her finger to probe his snort, she was so afraid that he would fall asleep quietly like this......

About three months have passed since such a day, on this day, Chu Xizhi was talking to Xiang Mingxuan in the imperial study, and Xiao Xiwei was sitting on the chair next to him teasing Yaoguang, and suddenly, Chu Xizhi stood up condensed in front of him and shouted at Xiao Xiwei, "Get out!" ”

Xiao Xi was slightly stunned, and didn't react for a while, but Yaoguang was frightened by his father's sudden change of face and cried 'wow'. She hurriedly picked up Yaoguang and raised her eyes to look at Chu Xizhi, only to see that his face was gray, as if he was suppressing something, and a trace of pleading faintly floated in his inky pupils.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Xiang Mingxuan was also taken aback by Chu Xizhi's sudden reprimand.

"Lord Xiang, don't say it." Xiao Xi smiled bitterly at Ming Xuan, and then walked out quickly with Yaoguang in his arms.

As soon as she stepped out of the threshold with her front foot, an exclamation to Mingxuan sounded inside, "Your Majesty ......"

Her feet sank, and she subconsciously wanted to look back, but when she thought of the forbearance pleading in Chu Xi's eyes, she bit the corner of her lip hard, and the severe pain made her force back the tears that were about to gush out, and then, she stepped out with her other foot hard, and walked a few steps with difficulty, and the whole person fell down in despair......

"Niang ......" Biyun, who was guarding outside, hurriedly ran over, she just shouted a word, but was stopped by Xiao Xiwei's sharp eyes.

"Don't talk, quick, go and get a doctor!" Xiao Xi held Biyun's hand hard and said in a deep voice.

Bi was stunned for a moment, and then she understood, she hurriedly blessed Xiao Xiwei and turned around and ran towards the Tai Hospital.

"Queen Mother...... Afraid...... Yaoguang is afraid of ......" Yaoguang, who was more than a year old, pulled the corners of Xiao Xiwei's sleeves and cried at the top of his throat.

"Yaoguang is not afraid, is it okay for the queen mother to let you send you to your grandmother?" Xiao Xi squatted down slightly, encouraged Chao Yaoguang to take a smile and comforted her, and after that, she turned her head and instructed the palace maid on the side, "Go, send the princess to the queen mother, remember, if the queen mother asks, don't say anything, just say that the princess misses her." ”

"Yes." The palace maid responded while saluting, and then bent down and hugged Yaoguang.

As soon as Yaoguang left, Xiao Xiwei's legs became weak, and he sat down all of a sudden.

At this time, Xiang Mingxuan happened to walk out of the hall with an anxious face, and saw that Xiao Xiwei was still outside, a trace of surprise flashed on his face, and he was about to talk to Xiao Xiwei, but was stopped by Xiao Xiwei with a look.

"Lord Xiang, you just do your job, this palace doesn't know anything, and this palace is not here." Xiao Xi's eyes were slightly red, and he looked at Xiang Mingxuan with a hint of begging in his eyes.

Such a look reminded Xiang Mingxuan of the young emperor who was holding his arm in the imperial study, and he looked at him with this kind of look just now and said to him, Mingxuan, don't let the queen know......

Who said that it is the most ruthless emperor's family, the person who said this, but he regarded desire and power as more important than love, so he used such a sentence as an excuse.

"Xia Guan understands, the queen can rest assured." Xiang Mingxuan bowed to Xiao Xi from afar, then turned around and walked into the hall again.

Xiao Xiwei stood up with the hand of the palace maid, a gust of wind blew, she couldn't help but shiver, raised her eyes and looked out of the hall, and suddenly saw a few snowflakes floating in the air.

It turns out that before you know it, winter has come......

No one thought that the emperor in his prime would suddenly cough up blood and fall ill, and the imperial doctors of the Chongde Hall came again and again, but everyone only said that the emperor was a blood deficiency disease, and he only needed to recover from good recuperation, but after bowl after bowl of decoction poured down, the emperor's illness did not improve at all, but became heavier and heavier, and the time of faintness and sleep was longer and longer.

On this day, when Chu Xizhi woke up, he found that Xiao Xiwei was not staying by the bedside, but was replaced by his eldest son Chu Tianye, who was only eleven years old.

"Father." Seeing Chu Xizhi wake up, Chu Tianye got up and saluted Chu Xizhi.

"Your mother's ......," Chu Xiyi said as he tried to sit up.

Chu Tianye hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out his hand to pull Chu Xizhi up, and stuffed a pillow behind him, "Yaoguang has been crying a lot in recent days, and the queen mother has not closed her eyes when she has been guarding her father for the past few days, so the son took the initiative to persuade the queen mother to go back." Chu Tianye paused when he said this, "Father and Emperor want to see the Queen Mother." ”

"Nope." Chu Xizhi closed his eyes.

He didn't want to appear in front of her like this, and he didn't want to see a little sadness in her eyes.

After being silent for a long time, Chu Xizhi opened his eyes again and looked at this son who was brought up by him, he is so sick now, I don't know how many waves he has set off in the court, and those people in the country know the news and are only afraid that they are also about to move, although there are Mu Zhihe and Xiang Mingxuan in the court, and Zheng Lin and Xiao Xiyang are also in the border city, he is still very worried, once he dies, can his son be able to sit in this position.

"Father, the sons and daughters were taught by you, and the sons and daughters can do it." As if knowing what Chu Xizhi was thinking, Chu Tianye looked at him firmly and said a word.

Chu Xizhi took a breath and seriously looked at Chu Tianye from head to toe, and after a long time, he smiled lightly, "He is worthy of being my son." With that, he reached out and patted his bed, "Come, sit here." ”

"Yes." Chu Tianye saluted, then walked to the bed and sat down.

"My Tianye has finally grown up, so that I can rest assured that I can entrust this world and your mother to you......"

"Father......" Hearing Chu Xizhi's words, a trace of grief suddenly appeared on Chu Tianye's always calm face, and he looked at Chu Xizhi a little at a loss.

Although he was calm, he was only eleven years old.

"Ye'er, in my life, I can let go of anything, but the only person who can't let go is your mother...... In this life, I just want to see her safe and happy, and come to the end without illness or disaster, but now I can't see this. ”

"Father's ......"

"You listen to me." Chu Xizhi interrupted Chu Tianye's words, "You also know your mother's temperament, although she doesn't say anything on her face, but in fact, she is like a mirror in her heart. ”

"What does the father want his son to do?"

"Your mother is soft-hearted, she can't give up your ......," Chu Xizhi looked at Chu Tianye and said slowly.

When Chu Tianye heard this, his tears couldn't help but fall, he knew that his father was explaining the future to him. He stretched out his hand to wipe away a handful of tears, then got up and took two steps back, then knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Chu Xizhi, "Father, my son understands." ”
