"I ...... Slept for a long time? ”

After being busy for a while by the imperial doctor and pricking needles and pouring decoction, the queen finally really woke up. Looking at the hand held tightly by the emperor, she asked with difficulty, seeing that no one answered, her eyes swept over the people in front of the bed one by one, and when she saw Chen Lan, she was stunned for a moment, and then smiled. Finally, she turned her gaze to the emperor, and the corners of her mouth were hooked a little deeper.

"Your Majesty, I heard that again just now. I don't know where it came from, but it sounds so good. I sang it once before when I was in the Imperial Garden, but now I really don't have the strength. Back then, this song was copied to me by the emperor from the remnants of the score......"

Hearing the queen muttering all this, the county lord of Yixing thought about it for a while, and then gestured to Ye Shangyi, Wang Shanggong and the eunuch Xia who came with the emperor. For a while, there were only a few people left in the huge room.

The emperor stared at the empress and suddenly said, "It was Chen Lan who sang it just now." ”

"It's Alan?" The queen was suddenly surprised, and when she saw that Chen Lan was standing beside the county lord of Yixing, she moved her head and neck slightly, "She only heard about it yesterday, and it will be today, it seems that she and I are really destined...... It's a pity that I can't support it anymore, otherwise, I really want her to stay with me for a while......"

"Don't say stupid things, if you like her, you can let her stay in the palace with you when you get better of this illness in the future."

"Is the emperor confused? Leaving a woman with a foreign surname in the palace, what can the ministers say? This time, with the help of the ninth sister, if it weren't for the fact that things in Xiyuan were not easy to handle, it would not be easy for the ninth sister to stay in the palace for a long time, let alone her? ”

"Her parents are gone, I can make her the lord of the county...... No, make her a princess, let her be your daughter in the right name, and stay in the palace with you like this, who can say a word......"

Before he finished speaking, the emperor felt a hand difficult but gentle on his mouth, and then saw that the queen's eyes were red, but her face was full of determination. After many years of husband and wife, he didn't understand what kind of person his wife was, and when he reached the series of words in his mouth, he couldn't go on, only gently grabbed her left hand, and held her hands tightly together with his own hands, his eyes were full of regret.

"It's easy to be the lord of the county, and it's easy to be the princess, Chrysostom has a will, but in the eyes of the ministers, the emperor has become a person who only rewards him with his likes and dislikes, as for me, the queen, I'm afraid that I will be scolded by someone poking my backbone. Even Ah Lan ...... She has no parents, but after all, it's not that her parents have no name and no surname, and she has a younger brother under her knees, if I'm gone, what's the use of her title? What's more, did the emperor ask her if she was willing? ”

The queen raised her head with great difficulty, and saw that Chen Lan's face seemed to be stained with tears, her eyes were still a little red, and there were faint tooth marks on her lips, so she couldn't help but smile, and then looked at the emperor and said: "I think she is like me, if I can live for a few decades, I can just recognize her as a daughter, but now, ...... Ninth sister, you and Concubine Xian should go out with the children, I still have a few words to say to the emperor. ”

With the children, the county lord of Yixing couldn't help but glance at Chen Lan, and when he saw that she was full of shock, he immediately knelt on the ground silently, kowtowed three times, and couldn't help but sigh. When she looked at it again, she didn't know when King Zhou knelt down, and she was kowtowing decently, she felt even more sour in her heart, and after glancing at Concubine Xian, she stepped forward together, and pulled one by one and quietly exited the house.

It wasn't until the thick curtain was lowered again that the queen looked at the emperor and said with great difficulty: "I thought I wouldn't be able to survive the last time, so I said that, but I didn't expect that God was really generous to me, and let Ah Lan accompany me for more than ten days." We have been married for decades, and now at this last hour, I will call you Qilang again...... Qilang, King Wu may still have grievances, after all, he is your flesh and blood, you don't want to deal with it easily, as for the position of the prince...... It's not that I'm biased, King Jin is indecisive and unkind, and he is not a good candidate; King Huai is too greedy, he only knows how to compete with the people, but he doesn't know how to share the benefits with the people, and he has a ruthless heart, I am really worried that he will go astray......"

Speaking of this, the queen only felt that her chest was extremely annoyed, and she couldn't help but pause. The emperor on the side hurriedly helped her up, gently smoothed her breath for a while, and just said that he would call an imperial doctor to come in and take a look, or when he went to pour a glass of water himself, his hand was held down by the queen. Seeing that the eyes that had been a little dim once again bloomed with an undoubted look at this time, he swallowed back the comfort in his mouth, and his face became more and more gloomy.

"Luo Guifei's King Lu is still young, but she has always pampered her children because she received too much cold treatment in her early years. After the New Year, he was already eight years old, but he was still extremely weak, this time he just fell into a small pond with little water, and he almost tossed a big thing, although some people are sinister, but after all, the child is too delicate. Besides, there is no qualitative nature for the child to be small, if he rashly puts it in a high position, he is afraid that it will be easier to raise bad people, and Wei Guogong is still used by the emperor. As for the other princes, at a glance, they are nothing outstanding...... Now that I think about it, Shichiro, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have raised two princes in front of me in order to avoid the criticism of the ministers. ”

"Fu Niang" The emperor finally couldn't hold back any longer, and suddenly interrupted the queen's words, "This has nothing to do with you, I don't want you to work hard and don't have a good reputation, I am still in my prime, my health is fine, I really can't pick a few out of the little prince, as long as you can take care of it, we can still go to Fengzen Taishan......"

"In addition to Wu Zetian, which other queen went to Zen Mount Tai?" The queen smiled slightly, and then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I have survived the hard days with you, and I have accompanied you in the good days, and the only regret is that I have made up for it these days, and now I am content to leave...... Qilang, choose a good in-law for Ah Lan for me, and find a handsome man you can see. Don't think about the princess of the county, the princes and princesses in the palace are all my sons and daughters, and some people give me linen and filial piety, and there is no shortage of her, I have something to leave for her...... Shichiro, when I go, when I go, when I go to the festival every year, will I let someone accompany the festival to celebrate? I'm finally going to accompany her......"

In the corridor behind the Xinuan Pavilion, although the morning sun had come out at this time, shining with all kinds of brilliance on those glazed tiles, and the weather was also warm, Chen Lan stood there and couldn't help but feel chills on his body. She was rushed here in the morning when she got up, washed hastily, and her stomach was even more empty. I didn't feel anything in it just now, but now I went outside to stand, I didn't sleep well last night, and I was so tossed just now, I was sad, not to mention, she felt that her feet were weak, and she didn't have much strength up and down, and in the end, she couldn't help but gently support a pillar next to her with her hand.

"My sister eats cakes."

Chen Lan, who was in a trance, heard such a voice, turned his head and saw King Zhou holding a plate of jujube cakes and handing it to her with a serious face. After being stunned for a moment, she hurriedly asked, "Thank you, His Royal Highness King Zhou, Concubine Xian Niangniang and the county lord......"

"We've all eaten in the morning, you eat two pieces to fill your stomach first, and don't let down the baby's kindness." The county lord of Yixing nodded at Chen Lan, and then said to a eunuch with a silver pot over there, "Remember to divide the ginseng tea into four cups, don't miss anyone." ”

"Don't worry, the little one understands."

Seeing that Concubine Wu Xian also gestured to herself, Chen Lan took the plate of cakes, although the dim sum made in the small kitchen of Kunning Palace was extremely exquisite, but at this time, she was still thinking about the words blurted out by the emperor and the queen's rejection, and she had mixed feelings in her heart. After the ginseng tea was served and drunk, she felt that her body was gradually warm.

After standing outside and waiting for a while, she went up to the clean room again under the service of the palace maid, and as soon as she came out of it, she saw Eunuch Xia stumbling out of it, and before she could speak, she knelt down on her knees, her head slammed on the ground a few times, and a dry howl burst out of her mouth.

"The Queen's Mother...... The queen mother collapsed."

At that moment, Chen Lan only felt that there was a blank in front of him. Although she has only been in the palace for more than ten days, and the time she has really been with the queen is even less than a day and night, the warmth of the mother of the country still makes her feel very good. Although she had always known the final result from the demeanor of Imperial Doctor Lin and the Yixing County Lord and others, and from the fact that she had made an exception to stay in the palace, she still had some difficulty accepting it when she really heard the news at this moment.

King Zhou was still looking around, as if he couldn't understand what the two words meant. It wasn't until Concubine Xian took him in her arms and muttered something that he suddenly screamed, and then ran into Xinuan Pavilion. In a few moments, he was crying like a child. In the midst of that cry, the eunuchs and palace maids outside all knelt down silently, sobbing lowly everywhere.

In front of the phoenix couch, the emperor hugged the queen tightly, and the corners of his mouth squirmed slightly, but there was no sound at all. At that moment, there was no country and society in his mind, no court civil and military, and no his unconscious concubines and children, all that flashed was the scenes of the past. There is the ignorance of the candle night in the cave room, the comfort of each other when they are through the difficulties, the hugging and crying in the moment of grief, and the circle of hugging her when they are happy...... It's just that the more you go on, the fewer and fewer memorable fragments there are, and in the end, only the words that last time and today are left.

He is the Son of Heaven and rich all over the world, but in the end it is still irretrievable

In a trance, his eyes were already blurry, and the howling cry of King Zhou in his ears seemed to be completely inaudible. He could still vaguely hear the queen's last words before she left, the last smile.

When Chen Lan entered the house with the county lord of Yixing and Concubine Wuxian, what he saw was that the emperor was sitting there motionless with the queen in his arms, as if the whole person had been stiffened. At that moment, she deeply felt that it was not the ambitious Son of Heaven she had ever seen sitting there, but a husband who was looking for the ordinary and often lost his hair.

PS: All of a sudden it's sad......
