354.Chapter 354: Dying The Last Days
The kid in the first place?
I was a little dizzy, and I was thinking in a dazeβwhat kind of child? Shouldn't the child of Empress Zhaolie be the eldest son of the emperor at the beginning, that is, the "eldest son of the emperor" written by the emperor in the edict of succession?
is going to pass on the throne to him, how can he not be born?
However, since it was born, what about people?
β¦β¦
I was vaguely when I heard Mama Qian choke up and say: "Such a big fire, so many people were injured by the fire, although the queen was not burned to death, but she was smoked to death, whether the child was born or not, what do you say?" β
As soon as I heard her words, I was shocked, and cold sweat was dripping in my palms.
I have known about Empress Zhaolie for a long time, and I have heard about her from Pei Yuanhao and Yang Yunhui, and I can also feel some of her character from the tone of the Queen Mother, this woman who is loved by three thousand people, but finally died in an inexplicable fire, I have heard of these, but I never thought that she was smoked to death alive, and she was actually smoked to death when she was pregnant with a child!
This is simply miserable!
"In this case, in the edict of the emperor, how could it be said that the throne should be passed on to the eldest son of the emperor, and the name Yuanchen was clearly thought of by him and Empress Zhaolie at the beginning, and it was the name chosen for the eldest son of the emperor!"
"I've heard about the edict too. However, I saw the queen's body with my own eyes, and I also saw her buried with my own eyes. Mothers have died tragically like this, an unborn child, can she live? β
"So, what the hell is going on?"
"I don't know, anyway, this child was not born and was stillborn."
When I heard this, I was speechless with shock.
I couldn't have imagined that the child was not born, so he was stillborn, but since the child was not born, why did the emperor issue that edict and pass the throne to the eldest son of the emperor who did not have zΓ i at all?
What the hell is going on?
When Mama Qian said this, her eyes turned even redder, and she said slowly: "The fire at the beginning is still in my dream, and I can't forget it when I die." β
"Who can forget?"
When Mama Wu said this, her eyes were also red: "The queen's heart is a human being, and people can really never forget it for the rest of their lives." β
The two of them were silent for a while, wiped their eyes, Mama Qian seemed to remember something, looked at her and said: "Speaking of human nature, do you think that there is a person who is very similar to the queen." β
"You found out too?"
Mama Wu looked up at her, her eyes brightened: "This girl is really rare." Sometimes, I really feel as if she is summoning the soul of the Empress Lie. β
"Yes, I also feel this way, every time I see her, it's like seeing the queen at the beginning," Mama Qian said, and chuckled again: "However, she is not the same as the queen, she is much more stubborn." At the beginning, the queen also knew how to be soft with the emperor, but this girl was a soft knife. β
"Somehow, I don't think I can leave her."
Mama Qian glanced at her, as if she was smiling, and there was a faint sadness of memories in her eyes: "She and the queen are still the same people, even if they hate, they can't be forgotten." Otherwise, after so many years, the Queen Mother would not still remember the original sisterhood. β
Sisters? I listened more and more puzzled - the Queen Mother mentioned Empress Zhaolie several times, her eyes were full of hatred, and there was also hatred in her tone that could not be released, why were they still good sisters in the past?
If so, the person is dead, why does she have such a strong hatred?
What happened in the first place?
Knowing that these are things in the past, even if the truth is dug out, it will not do me any good, but when people are sick, my brain can't rest, and I thought about it all night - thinking about the tragic death of the Queen Zhaolie, thinking of the depressed and indignant Queen Mother, and thinking of the stillborn "Emperor's eldest son Yuanchen".
In this palace, how many sad things and sad people are there?
I didn't sleep all night, and the next morning I found that my fever was even worse, my body seemed to be hollowed out, and I was lying on the bed like a broken sack, Shui Xiu was scared and cried, lying on the edge of the bed, looking at me with tears in her eyes: "Girl, what's wrong with you?" β
I smiled wryly: "I'm not dead yet, what are you crying about." β
"But you-"
"Raise it, and it will get better."
I know that this is a miscarriage and some later suffering, the disease left behind, needs to be raised, but the cold palace is indeed not a place to recuperate, of course Mama Qian will not embarrass me for anything, but the cold palace is a cold palace, it is common to lack this less, and it is impossible for the doctor to come in again.
In this case, my body dragged day by day, lingering on the sickbed, either coughing up blood or cold, there was no good day, Shui Xiu didn't understand, and he boiled medicine for me every day, but from Mama Wu's red eyes, I could also see that I was in the next life.
But at this time, people don't feel unwilling, I'm in my twenties, the best years of girls have long passed, hardships, blessings, love and hate, the only regret - I raised my head and looked at the towering gray wall outside - probably until death, I can't fly out of this cage, right?
Shui Xiu came in from outside with a food box in her hand, and when she saw me standing at the door, she immediately ran over: "Girl, why did you come out?" It's windy outside! β
"It's okay, I always lie down and feel very sick." I smiled, "Get up and take a walk, maybe it's better." β
"Then I'll add you some extra clothes."
As she spoke, she hurried into the house to put the food box, then took a long coat and put it on for me, and helped me slowly walk to the garden and sit down.
After helping me sit down, she ran back to the house, took out the food box she had just brought back, opened it, and saw that there were several kinds of delicate snacks inside. β
"Xiaofuzi secretly gave it to me. Ha ha. β
Shui Xiu's eyes were crooked with a smile and sent it to me: "Girl, eat quickly, I just drank the medicine, and eating this can dilute the bitterness of the medicine." β
She kept urging me to eat, but now, I barely have the appetite to eat.
So he smiled: "Now that you are in the cold palace, it is really rare for Xiaofuzi to be so good to you." β
"Of course, I am the same townsman as him, and when he was a child, he was bullied, and I helped him." Shui Xiu said with a smile: "Girl, you don't know yet, don't look at his current name Xiaofuzi, in fact, his previous name is earthy, called Gouyu." β
I laughed.
"However, the name Xiaofuzi is really good, he is really blessed, this time the emperor will go south, and he will take him with him."
South......
These two words suddenly pierced my heart, and my smile suddenly froze: "Your Majesty, are you going south?" β
"Well, I heard that the ship has been ready for a long time, just in the last few days, but I don't know why, it hasn't left."
Is it just the last time?
I looked up at the sky above me in a tranceβhe was about to go south just recently.
I've thought about it countless times to take advantage of this trip to the south...... However, in the end, it was still empty, empty!
Thinking of this, the feeling of tightness in my chest became heavier, and Shui Xiu noticed that my face was a little wrong, and hurriedly said loudly: "Girl, what's wrong with you?" β
ββ¦β¦β
I couldn't speak, but a nauseous feeling was surging in my throat, and Mama Wu and Mama Qian also ran over when they heard it, and immediately said when they saw me, "What's wrong?" β
"I don't know, I just talked to the girl."
"What did you say?"
"...... "I was afraid that Shui Xiu would be scolded again, so I raised my hand and waved, Mama Wu glanced at us, and hurriedly helped me into the house with Mama Qian to lie down.
In the potion, there was a trace of black and red blood.
As soon as they saw this, Mama Wu and Mama Qian were stunned, Shui Xiu didn't know what was going on, so she took out a handkerchief to wipe my mouth, and Mama Wu hurriedly said: "Shui Xiu, hurry up, hurry up!" β
"Oh, oh!"
Shui Xiu listened, and hurriedly ran out to get a broom, Mama Qian looked at the medicine on the ground, her eyes were a little red, and Mama Wu sat down slowly: "Girl, do you - do you think that there is no hope?" β
I smiled faintly.
"When people are sick and take medicine, they have to think about it themselves, if they don't want to get better, let alone taking medicine, Da Luo Jinxian can't help you." She said softly: "You are still young, and there is hope for you to live!" β
I looked at her, then at Mama Qian, and at Shui Xiu, who hurriedly came in to sweep the floor, and suddenly couldn't speak, only laughed.
The next time, but in the boiling days, I also eat the medicine decoction on time, my body is good and bad, because of the cold spring, the low-grade fever has not stopped, and every day the face is covered with a layer of gray color, even Shui Xiu can see that it is wrong.
When I was serving the medicine and drinking it, I looked at her eyes with red eyes, I thought about it, and deliberately said, "Why is today's medicine so bitter?" β
"Huh? Is it bitter? β
"It's unpleasant. Is there anything sweet that you can't taste like? β
"Yes! Yes! "It's rare for me to say what I want to eat, Shui Xiu hurriedly got up to look for it, just took out the food box, and heard a noisy sound outside, as if talking about a thief, or something shameless, the sound was getting closer and closer, I struggled to stand up, and I saw a group of people pouring in from outside.
When I looked closely, it was actually Xiaofuzi, who was grabbed by a few little palace maids and eunuchs, and Lu Shuyi and a few of them also followed, with a playful expression.
I frowned, "What are you doing here?" β
Before they could speak, Lu Shuyi saw the food box in Shui Xiu's hand at a glance, and made a color, and the little palace maid Xiaochan next to her immediately grabbed it and opened it, and shouted: "The thief is here!" β
As soon as I heard it, I immediately understood what was coming, Shui Xiu's face was also white, and I heard Lu Shuyi sneer: "I said, Xiaofuzi is a little eunuch, what are you doing when you go to the imperial dining room to steal pastries, there is a 'master' behind this." β
The things in the imperial dining room are not too strict, usually the little palace maid and the little eunuch go in and steal some pastries to eat, and the aunt scolds a few words, it is rare to make such a big fuss, I looked at Xiaofuzi being beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, and I also understood in my heart, and raised my head lightly: "I don't know what Shuyi wants?" β
