The next day, in the afternoon.

In the emperor's bedroom, there were many people around, and the imperial doctors tried their best to prick his pulse and needles, and bleed and detoxify. Just in case, he also let him contain a ginseng slice of thousand-year-old ginseng.

The ministers were at a meter, watching from afar.

Tao Mingran worked hard for days, and his physical strength was exhausted, so he sat on the side and watched.

Obviously, there were many people, but the palace was surprisingly quiet, and the atmosphere was tense.

Until Lin Zheng came in with the boiled medicine, "The medicine is ready." ”

Everyone reacted as if their souls had returned to their places, and they all looked at the bowl of medicine.

This bowl of medicine sword is on the wrong side, and no one knows what the result will be after drinking it.

Li Yuanshou even shook the hand that pulled out the needle for the emperor.

"Feed your majesty."

The palace maid, who was usually responsible for feeding the emperor's medicine, knelt on the ground with a white face, "The slave doesn't dare..."

If she feeds it, the emperor has three long and two short, she doesn't dare to think about it at all.

Lin Zheng frowned, and let people pull her down.

All the palace maids and eunuchs are trembling, and the emperor has always had an accident, and the people who are serving around them can't run away.

Tao Mingran broke the deadlock, "I'll feed you!" ”

She walked over, sat on the edge of the bed, and with the help of the palace maid, helped the emperor up and leaned on her arms, and Lin Zheng knelt beside the bed with the medicine.

Tao Mingran steadily fed the medicine into the emperor's mouth one by one, and she didn't care if it was spilled on her clothes.

Soon the bowl of medicine was fed, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Yuan said, "All we have to do now is to wait, and when the effect of the medicine is onset, Your Majesty will wake up soon." ”

Lin Zheng handed the bowl to the little eunuch, got up and helped Tao Mingran, "Niangniang, go back and change your clothes, the minions here are staring." ”

Tao Mingran nodded and went back to the palace to change clothes.

The palace maids quickly changed her clothes, and she ordered, "Serve me a cup of strong tea." ”

After she changed her clothes, Qiu Yue brought her a cup of strong tea, Tao Mingran took it expressionlessly, and drank it in one gulp.

"Let's go..."

Back in the main hall, the long, endless wait began.

Lin Zheng led people and served snacks, fruits and tea to the ministers, but unfortunately no one was interested in eating and drinking, and everyone's expressions were sad and solemn.

I couldn't stand it anymore, so I quietly withdrew, walked around outside, and took a breath.

Tao Mingran sat there quietly, dragging a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, slowly fluctuating.

She felt that she had put all the patience of her life to work here.

When the sun was setting and everyone was starting to get agitated, the imperial doctor finally said in a loud voice, "Your Majesty is awake!" ”

The ministers immediately poured into the inner sanctum, regardless of their usual steadyness. Tao Mingran walked at the end unhurriedly.

The Emperor leaned weakly on the bed, his eyes half-open, unable to speak.

Li Yuan's head was busy commanding, "Ladies and gentlemen, stand back a little and let the air circulate." ”

"Bring the boiled ginseng soup and drink white porridge and feed it to Your Majesty."

Although the person is awake, he is still weak.

Tao Mingran silently pushed open the window, so that the room was not so hot.

It's ginseng soup and massage. I tossed it until midnight, and I don't know if the effect of the medicine was fully exerted, or if I had the strength to eat something.

The emperor's condition was much better, he leaned back on the bed and looked at everyone in the room, and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm dying..."

No one dared to answer this, so Fu Guogong stubbornly said, "What does Your Majesty command?" ”

This is to remind him of the meaning of passing on the throne and making a will, and the emperor coughed a few times, "Let the queen supervise the country, you can discuss anything with her." ”

Tao Mingran stood in front of the window and said softly, "Such a big responsibility, the concubine is afraid that she can't afford it." ”

"There's nothing you can't afford, it's no worse than it is now."

The ministers glanced at each other, "Your Majesty should appoint a crown prince." ”

The emperor lowered his eyes, "When I die, whoever wants to sit in this position can sit it, and if you don't make a prince, there will be no holy decree to stay." ”

The emperor was willful to the end, he no longer had any nostalgia for this position, and he didn't care what kind of bloody storm this position would set off after his death.

The ministers knelt on the ground and said in unison, "Your Majesty, please think twice!" ”

"Stand down, all of you!"

He is iron-hearted, and as a courtier, he can't ask him to pass on the throne, so he can only retreat helplessly.

The emperor glanced at Tao Mingran, "I've worked hard for you, and it's over in forbearance." ”

What Tao Mingran could say, he could only keep a wooden face, "It's not hard, this is what the concubine should do." ”

The two were relatively speechless, and Lin Zheng came in to report, "Concubine Xi asks to see you." ”

The emperor was stunned for a moment, "Let her in." ”

Tao Mingran retired with a very good look, and the two passed by at the door, and neither of them spoke.

If there is anyone in the harem who the emperor has ever had a little sincerity, it can only be Concubine Xi, after all, it is the moonlight in the daytime.

Zhou Qi was wearing a begonia-colored dress, put on beautiful makeup, and the whole person was delicate like a begonia flower on the branches of March.

After she came in, she did not salute, but looked at the weak man on the bed, "Your Majesty, the concubine is here to see you off for the last time." ”

The emperor was not angry at her rudeness, and there was a small smile in his eyes, "It's the one who came..."

"Strange," a strange and familiar name.

At that time, he was still young, she was the son of the Zhou family, and he was the youngest son of Concubine Hui. They went out to enjoy the flowers, chanted poems and painted, and fell in love unscrupulously in the spring.

Tears flashed in Zhou Qi's eyes, although it was a premeditated encounter, but she really loved him when she was young.

It's a pity that this love has become unrecognizable in the deep palace, rotten and stinky!

To this day, she looked at the man on the bed and no longer knew whether to love more or hate more.

"When Your Majesty took me into the palace, you said that you would make me pampered for the rest of your life, but you broke your promise."

The emperor looked at her, the white moonlight in his heart was still beautiful and beautiful, but the tiredness in his eyes could no longer be hidden.

They can't go back, they can't go back.

The emperor beckoned to him, Zhou Qi went over to sit on the edge of the bed, and the emperor reached out and touched her face, "I shouldn't have taken you into the palace." ”

This deep palace turned them all into monsters, they fought and sank here, and finally they didn't even know themselves.

Zhou Qi slowly leaned on his lap through the quilt, closed his eyes, and tears slipped from the corners of his eyes.

She said, "Your Majesty, I hate you! ”

The emperor patted her head lightly, "Hate, don't meet me in the next life." ”

He didn't want to be born in the royal family anymore.

It was already late at night when Zhou Qi left, she looked up at the bright moon in the sky, reached out and touched her stomach.

Suddenly relieved, the child who lost his life did not come to this world, which is a kind of luck.

She came tonight to say goodbye, the young love and the once young them, all died in this deep palace...
