Chapter 18: Dying
When Xi Ze heard that he was assassinated at night, he was instantly shocked, and hurriedly ordered Sixi to summon Xia Wanfeng in.
Xia Wanfeng walked in like a gust of wind and reported to Xi Zeyu: "Your Majesty, the minister received a distress signal from Qi Ye, he should have encountered great danger, but according to the time, he should not have arrived in the imperial capital, please ask the emperor to take someone out of the imperial capital to search and rescue the night immediately!" ”
Xi Ze forced himself to calm down and thought about countermeasures: "In this way, Wan Feng, I will send a thousand Imperial Forest Army to search for the night with you!" Sixi, you go with Wanfeng to spread the message! ”
Xia Wanfeng hurriedly received the order of thanks: "Thank you, the emperor, the minister receives the order!" ”
Looking at their departing backs, Xi Ze immediately summoned Sunset and ordered: "Sunset, you immediately go to the palace to deliver the decree, and order General Wang Shouxing and Wan Feng to lead people to search and rescue the divine doctor, don't delay!" ”
"Yes, the minion obeys!"
This was not enough, Xi Ze also ordered the painters in the palace to paint a large number of paintings according to the portraits he made for Qi Ye, posted notices, and offered heavy rewards to find Qi Ye.
Time passed little by little, dripping into ice and suffering, however, the team sent out to search for the night did not send the slightest message.
Xi Ze was in the middle palace, waiting like sitting on pins and needles, but he didn't dare to show the slightest worry in front of Wang Ningxuan, he was really tormented, looking at Wang Ningxuan's haggard and weak face, he could hardly open his mouth to say a word, so he had to pass Xie Huanting to the middle palace every day, Xie Huanting was very clever, holding Chenxin at Wang Ningxuan's bedside, picking good words to listen to Wang Ningxuan, making Wang Ningxuan smile all day long.
Five full days have passed, and there is still no news of the night.
The imperial doctors collectively stayed in the middle palace inch by inch, taking bowls of medicine one after another, Wang Ningxuan's illness still did not show the slightest sign of improvement, and the interval between the gradual coma shrunk and shortened, and the cool oil that has always been good can no longer work, and finally, even the most ordinary things such as taking medicine and eating have become difficult, and the middle palace has reached the point of dying.
In the evening, the night wind came very quickly. Blowing the window lattice crackling, Wang Ningxuan woke up from a coma, and looked at the light, the sunset in the distance had become blurred in his vision. It was like a shadow, and all the qiē around her had become vain, and she couldn't tell whether she was awake or still immersed in sleep, as if she saw death slowly walking towards her with firm steps.
Xi Ze, who was on the side, saw Wang Ningxuan wake up, and immediately said to the servants beside him: "Spread my will." Xie is obedient and humble, and he is promoted to glory, not ...... Jin is Jieyu, the queen woke up, and it was rumored that she would come to the middle palace quickly! ”
"Your Majesty......" Wang Ningxuan called weakly.
When Xi Ze heard this, he immediately turned his head to look, only to see her reluctantly supporting, and said: "The emperor doesn't need to pass on the Xie family anymore, her Xunfang Xie is far away from the middle palace, and she has already come today." Now it's so hard for her to come again! ”
Xi Ze was stunned when he heard this, as if he was also a little embarrassed, and Shen Luyi on the side hurriedly said: "It's inconvenient to run back and forth, then let her live in the side hall of the middle palace temporarily, like a concubine, isn't the Dongnuan Pavilion still empty......"
"No need...... Wang Ningxuan shook his head slightly, and said to Shen Luyi, "Green, this time." It's really hard for you, you see you've lost weight, go and rest for a while! ”
When Shen Luyi heard this, it was inconvenient to persuade him again, so he retreated according to his words.
Xi Ze saw that Wang Ningxuan sent Shen Luyi back. Hurriedly sent all the palace people standing in the dormitory back, tried his best to raise a smile, and said, "Ning Xuan, pray that the night will soon arrive in the imperial capital...... When the prayer night returns, you'll be well in no time! Promise me that you will get better. When you are well, I will give you a son at once, and if you are the firstborn with a princess, I will give you another son until you give birth to a prince...... Oh no...... I will give you as many princes as you want, and you have to get better soon...... When you get better, you'll have your own children......"
It turned out that at this moment, the words were so choked that it took all your strength to speak completely.
Wang Ningxuan wanted to laugh, she was really moved and happy when she heard such words, but she knew that this was just a comfort to her soul, and she was afraid that she would not be able to come back from praying for the night, and in an instant, tears flowed out of her eyes, she pulled out a thin smile, looked at Xi Ze stupidly, and said reluctantly: "Your Majesty, the concubine can be your wife in this life, and she will be protected and respected by you, and the concubine will have no regrets in this life...... Emperor...... The concubine herself has no children, you will give Chenxin to the concubine, the concubine's life has been completed, the concubine feels that she is the happiest woman in the world, the concubine is already very content, the concubine has received too many blessings, too many to bear......"
"How can you not bear it?" Xi Ze hurriedly said, "You are my queen, the queen of the world, no matter how many blessings you have, you can bear it!" As long as it is given to you by me, you can bear it......" Xi Ze sighed, and said with some self-reproach, "Actually...... Chenxin sent it too late, otherwise you wouldn't have been depressed and dragged down all the time, and now ...... In fact, my original intention was that you were still young and wanted you to have a child of your own, and if I had given you other imperial heirs earlier, you would not have spent all these years in agony...... I regret it now......"
Wang Ningxuan smiled and shook his head, and comforted: "Don't blame yourself, the emperor can be by your side in this life, this is the most generous gift from God to the concubine, the concubine is really content......"
Suddenly, the past appeared in front of him like a cloud, and Wang Ningxuan seemed to be addicted to it: "Your Majesty, count the days, it's been eleven years since the concubine married you, and time flies so fast, it's been more than ten years and so long...... The emperor still remembers the scene when he first saw his concubine......"
Xi Ze hurriedly nodded: "Of course I remember!" It was the night of my wedding, you were sitting in the room of Prince Gong's mansion in a big red palace dress, at that time, you were only fourteen years old, not yet in time, when I picked up Xipa to look at you, you slightly lowered your eyelashes, smiled shallowly, not timid at all, between gestures, you were very dignified and quiet, you smiled and gently replied to me when I asked you, it didn't look like we met for the first time, it seemed that I had known me for a long time, and I was very familiar with me, and I was very happy at that time......
Thinking back to the wedding night, infinite joy came to her heart, and her lips flowed lowly: "Actually, the concubine was very nervous at that time...... Until dawn the next day, the concubines felt that they were still indulging in a sweet dream......"
"Ning Xuan......" Xi Ze looked straight into the bottom of her eyes, and said gently, "Over the years, you have helped me, relieved me of many worries, you are dignified, gentle, and understanding, you always know what I am thinking, and you can do everything properly, everyone says that you are a good queen, and you are the same in my heart!" It's just that over the years, you have endured too much for me, and I owe you too much ......" (To be continued.) )
