"Mother, you're tired all day, do you want to rest for a while? Leave it to the minions." Zhuo Song asked.

The queen shook her head slightly: "This palace is not tired, this palace is waiting."

She looked at the old emperor and chuckled.

Yao remembered that back then, because the emperor appreciated her brother, he inadvertently pulled the string, and she and His Majesty were able to get to know each other.

Later, because His Majesty would say sweet words to her every time he came, and made a promise to her, she was unconsciously moved, and finally married him with joy.

But later, because King Ning's reputation grew, the people even began to compare the two, and some even said that King Ning followed General Wei to fight the world for Daqin, expand the territory, and also came up with a lot of useful ideas in the government, and was peaceful and close to the people, and most importantly, the emperor loved King Ning more, if he wanted to fight, it is estimated that His Majesty would have to give way.

Gradually, His Majesty listened too much, and became more and more annoyed, and in order to consolidate his power, he began to promise the granddaughter of this minister as a side concubine, and the daughter of that minister as a concubine.

At first, she also thought that those women were just tools, and His Majesty was the only one in his heart, so she also pretended to be considerate, supported him very much, and took the initiative to create opportunities for him.

It wasn't until he ascended the throne that she understood that even though he was still good to herself, he gave everything he promised him, and everyone was very affectionate to the emperor, but she knew that she was just one of the "tools".

The queen reached out and touched the old emperor's face, which had become so handsome because of age or indulgence.

"Your Majesty, you see, your favorite Concubine Ling is bent on putting you to death, and those you are lucky enough to be busy worrying about now, what will happen to them after you go, and no one has taken the initiative to visit you and take care of you......

"Only the concubines, only the concubines, Your Majesty, it's just ......" She leaned over and whispered a few more words in his ear, and when she saw that sweat broke out on his forehead again, she stopped talking to herself and wiped his sweat again.

Zhuo Song was on the side, not making a sound, just staying quietly, and suddenly, a person came.

The queen looked up and asked, "How is the prince?"

"Hui Niangniang, the prince has woken up, but it's just ......" Mama Liu paused, I don't know whether to say it or not, I am very embarrassed in my heart, the days of waiting on these two sides are really - but sad!

"Just what? Mama Liu, these days, you have learned how to hide it from the palace and avoid it, right?!" The queen shouted.

Mama Liu was frightened and continued: "The old slave saw that the crown princess came back to get things with a displeased face, so he asked Jinyi, and then he learned that Lord Lin actually went to His Royal Highness, and the two talked happily in front of the crown princess, and they held hands."

When the queen heard this, she couldn't help but throw away the Jinpa in her hand and smashed it directly on the old emperor's body.

Such disrespectful behavior seems to be unaware of indignation, but it seems to have some intentional implications.

"Didn't this palace order her to be put in prison?! How dare she?!"

Mama Li gave Mama Liu a look and asked her to go back on her own first, while she gave the queen a good look.

"Lin Yanzhi - hum! Huo Xueyao wanted to tempt His Majesty like this back then, how could this palace let her emperor be so confused, and make Yanran as sad as this palace?! Go, let Lin Yanzhi be escorted down to give wine!"

When Mama Li heard this, she didn't move, so she had to persuade her: "Niangniang, no, that Lord Lin, when His Royal Highness is not awake, Niangniang can dispose of it at will, but now, His Royal Highness has woken up, if Niangniang disposes of her like this in front of His Highness, I am afraid that His Highness's body will ...... Think twice."

When the queen heard this, she gritted her teeth: "Then is this palace just letting her harm Ze'er like this?"

At this time, Zhuo Song, who no longer pretended to be transparent, took a step forward and arched his hand: "The old slave has a word, I don't know if the mother is willing to hear it?"

"Father-in-law, please speak."

"The envoy is the prince's official, and he lives with the mandate of heaven, and his identity is special, he is a mother, and he cannot be executed at will, only the emperor can."

The queen frowned, looked at him and said, "Father-in-law, is this interceding for her?"

Father-in-law Zhuo smiled lightly

"Niangniang thinks about it, the old slave doesn't have any friendship with Lord Lin, how can he not hesitate to provoke Niangniang and intercede for her?"

Seeing that he didn't seem to be fake, the queen thought about what he had just said.

After a while, she said again, "Father-in-law means that such a trivial matter has to wait for His Majesty to wake up?"

Zhuo Song didn't answer directly, but said, "This ...... If you can't wait, you can ask Master Su first, and he knows everything."

After hearing this, the queen really got up to leave, and Zhuo Song smiled and wanted to bend down to send it off.

It's just that the queen had just taken a step when a cough came from behind her, she paused, then immediately turned around, sat back in the position just now, and held the old emperor's hand: "Your Majesty, are you awake?"

The old emperor looked as if he had not been poisoned, his eyes were shining, and he was in good spirits.

With the power of the queen, he half-sat up, looked at the queen and said, "You have been taking care of me?"

Listening to his self-title, the queen was a little flattered in her heart, even during the period of the crown prince, she also called herself "Bengong", which had never been the case.

She lowered her eyes, raised her hand and pressed the corner of her eye that had never been wet, and said softly, "It's always there."

"I knew it." The old emperor stretched out his other hand and placed it on the back of the empress's hand, "I knew you had me in your heart."

The queen mother was about to nod, but what the old emperor said next made everyone present dare not make a sound, lowered their heads, and secretly looked at her at the same time.

"Xue Yao." The old emperor's thumb gently rubbed the empress's wrist, "You were just deceived by the second brother's rhetoric for a while, in your heart, I am the one who will always be there, right?"

The queen's mood instantly fell from the clouds to the bottom of the glacier.

She trembled with anger, but she didn't know how to answer, whether to point out that he had mistaken someone, or to endure it and swallow the bitterness.

"How did you get shaken like this? Do you know that I made a bracelet for you, happy to know?"

After speaking, the old emperor actually opened the bed, walked out of the bed with a happy face, and said as he walked, "The bracelet is in the ...... Where is this? Zhuo Song - Zhuo Song ——!"

Zhuo Song walked over unhurriedly, and the old emperor looked at him and said, "Zhuo Song, where is the bracelet?"

Zhuo Song walked to the front of the low collapse, opened the small drawer on one side, reached out and pressed it inside, and then the drawer on the other side popped out, he carefully held the brocade box, and opened it for the old emperor to see.

When the old emperor saw the bracelet, he ran back very happily, took the queen's hand directly, and put it on her.

"It's strange, when you were napping that day, I obviously secretly measured it carefully, and there would be nothing wrong, why is it inappropriate...... Xue Yao, have you gained some weight lately?" The old emperor squeezed her hand again, and forced her to put the bracelet on.

The queen lowered her head, looking at her painful, numb, red and purple metacarpophalangeal joints, and her lips were almost bitten by her.

The old emperor looked at the bracelet on her wrist with satisfaction as if he hadn't seen it, and muttered, "Xue Yao, you have to be by my side all the time."

He lifted her chin suddenly, and his hand squeezed hard, "Don't look at him again, you know?"

Then he leaned over slowly, trying to kiss her.

The heartstrings in the queen's heart were finally tightened.

She couldn't help but slap his hand away, stood up, looked at him with an angry face, and said, "Your Majesty has seen clearly, who the concubine is!"

The old emperor looked at his hand that had been slapped away angrily, and the next moment, he grabbed her shoulders tightly, and when he wanted to ask, he seemed to be at a loss.

After a while, he seemed to come to his senses, and after looking around, his eyes fell on the bracelet that was still on her wrist, and suddenly he coughed and coughed up blood again.

He withdrew his hand with a blank face, walked out, and sat down at the table, writing something.

After Zhuo Song came back to his senses, he followed, and the old emperor paused with his hand, looked at him fixedly, and said, "I am thirsty in my throat, and I remember the sweet soup you cooked for her in the past."

Zhuo Song said indifferently: "Your Majesty wants to drink, the old slave will go and cook a bowl for you."

The old emperor is no more

As he spoke, he turned his head and wrote intently, and Zhuo Song bowed down and walked out.

Soon, the old emperor took the things written in his hand, walked back to the queen's side, took her hand, rubbed the red and purple on it, and said softly, "Does it hurt?"

The queen wanted to withdraw her hand, but he grabbed it, so she turned her head away: "It's not as good as the pain in my heart—the concubine really understands it today."

"It's my fault, the queen doesn't get angry with me, okay?" The old emperor said this, but there was not much apology in his eyes.

The queen was silent, still not looking at him.

Seeing this, the old emperor squinted his eyes and hugged the queen, his face did not show much emotion, but his voice became more and more gentle: "Now, I am the only one by my side."

The queen snorted coldly in her heart, and when she saw Mama Li shaking her head at her, she endured the grievances in her heart again, and softened her body no longer so stubbornly, and said angrily: "Hmph, Your Majesty knows now, who is the most distressed about Your Majesty?"

Husbands and wives who used to go hand in hand, but now they are acting separately.

The old emperor curled the corners of his mouth shallowly, let go of her, handed over the things in his hand to her, and said earnestly: "This, give it to Yun Qi, and let him read it out when I go."

The queen stiffened, staring at the things in her hand, Huo Di turned to look at the old emperor, and stopped talking.

When the old emperor saw her like this, he said again, "Don't worry, the queen promised you when you were young, and I will not leave anything behind. The prince came out of your belly, and with the cloud and qi to complement him, he can take on great responsibilities."

After hearing this, the queen's heart had just rekindled some distressed care, and it was extinguished again, and since he thought that she only cared about this, so be it.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The old emperor nodded, and after doing this, the whole thing seemed to be drained of strength, and Huo Di fell.

Mama Li was startled, and she was about to call the imperial doctor, but was grabbed by the queen and stopped.

The queen just like that, quietly watched him lie on the ground with less air in and more breath.

After a moment, until he couldn't breathe at all, she let go of Mama Li's hand and sat down beside the old emperor.

Mama Li sighed secretly, and hurriedly walked out, and outside the door, she happened to meet Zhuo Song with sweet soup.

"Mama Li looks like this, but ......"

Even though both of them knew it in their hearts, Mama Li still said, "Your Majesty, the Son of Heaven is blessed, and it will be fine, so I will call the imperial doctor."

Zhuo Song replied, "Niangniang is inside, let's go, Mama will go back and take care of one or two."

Mama Li nodded, then turned around and went back.

Zhuo Song still held the bowl of sweet soup, walked to a corner where no one was around, withdrew the soup there, closed his eyes and whispered, "Rest in peace."
