Chapter 259: Goodbye Mei Guifei
"Princess, Master Hou, did you quarrel?" Qingxing watched the two of them have breakfast on the side, one sat in the east and the other sat in the west, she hadn't spoken since she sat down, she ate her own, and several times the princess secretly glanced at the princess, but the princess didn't even share half of his afterglow.
Qingxing and Qingtao glanced at each other, Qingtao shook her head at her, but Qingxing couldn't hold back her curiosity and still asked.
Chu Wuxian admitted very frankly: "Well, because I did something wrong, the princess is making trouble." ”
"What did you do wrong?"
Qingxing is really curious, didn't these two celebrate their birthdays together yesterday? Sleeping in a room? Why don't you get up this morning...... Could it be him......
Thinking of something indescribable, Qing Xing couldn't help but feel a little condemnation when she looked at Chu Wuxian's eyes.
Chu Wuxi: "......"
Xie Shuangge coughed lightly, and Qing Xing withdrew her gaze and closed her mouth.
She finished the last sip of porridge and put the spoon down, and if she looked closely, she could see that her fingertips were trembling slightly.
Chu Wuxian looked a little weak.
After eating, he refused to leave, and wanted to stay and rub his hands for Xie Shuangge, Xie Shuangge glared at him and was about to open his mouth to tell him to get out, Xin Xing suddenly came, his face was quite serious.
"Master, princess, the emperor is sick."
"What?" Xie Shuangge's voice was a little hoarse as soon as she opened her mouth, she paused and glared at Chu Wuxian again, and then said to Qinglan: "Tell someone to prepare the car, I want to enter the palace." ”
……
The emperor was lying on the dragon couch, his face flushed, his temples sweating, his eyes closed, as if he was enduring some pain, and his lips were pursed into a line.
The queen sat at the head of the bed, carefully wiped the emperor's sweat with a handkerchief, and asked worriedly: "Imperial Doctor Luo, how is Your Majesty?" ”
Imperial Physician Luo withdrew his hand and shook his head: "Don't worry, Your Majesty just has a cold and fever, and it's okay to sweat after drinking antipyretic medicine, it's just ......"
"Just what?" Mei Guifei, who was standing on the side, asked.
"It's just that Your Majesty has been working too hard these days, and he has been holding back the fire in his heart, and he is weak inside, and he often feels tired and sleepy, catches a cold, and has a seizure inside and out, so he is sick like a mountain."
"What then?" The queen panicked.
Looking at the haggard man on the bed, he bit his lower lip.
Doctor Luo said: "Weichen thinks that during this time, let Your Majesty have a good rest, don't think too much, go to bed early at night, and with food supplements, you will be able to make up for it soon." ”
"Then do as you say." The queen waved her hand, "Go grab the medicine." ”
"Yes."
As soon as Imperial Physician Luo left, the concubines waiting in the outer room got up and went to the inner room, and the queen looked at Mei Guifei who was standing on the side, and hesitated.
Seeing the witch beauty and the virtuous concubine coming in, the queen gathered her thoughts, got up and said, "Your Majesty is fine, it's just a cold, just take care of it, you don't have to worry too much, sisters." ”
"That's good." Wu Meiren looked at the emperor and said in a low voice: "I hope Your Majesty will recover soon, so that you can celebrate the New Year with everyone." ”
"There are still nine days, and it's almost fine. His Majesty of the Nine Heavens can't do without people around him, and someone must be waiting for him at all times. ”
The queen said worriedly: "However, as the end of the year approaches, there are many affairs, and the palace is really lacking in skills. ”
Concubine Xian and Wu Meiren glanced at each other, "The concubine and sister are free......"
Mei Guifei glanced at the two of them, "Sister Xian still has to prepare for the marriage of the eldest princess, and she is also very busy, right?" As for the witch beauty...... her eyes fell on the witch beauty's stomach, and she smiled meaninglessly, the witch beauty's back was cold, and she subconsciously took a step back and covered her stomach.
"My sister is now at the critical time of pregnancy, and she can't tolerate the slightest difference, how can she let her sister work? Let's come to this idler. ”
Concubine Mei didn't wait for others to speak, and preemptively asked the queen: "What does the queen think?" The concubine is also an old man in the palace, let the concubine serve, the mother will not be at ease, right? ”
Of course, the queen was not at ease, but when she said this, it seemed that she had a small belly, she thought about it again and again, and still agreed, "Since the concubine has this heart, then Your Majesty will hand it over to you, if Your Majesty's condition has not been good, then the palace will ask you for the guilt." ”
The last sentence was a bit of a joke, but everyone knew that she meant it. It is no secret that the two are incompatible in the harem, and everyone looked at Mei Guifei.
Mei Guifei smiled, "This is nature. ”
Everyone stayed for a while, and the queen first served the emperor to drink the medicine, and then took the people away.
The emperor woke up for a while, and fell asleep under the effect of the medicine, Mei Guifei changed a new wet handkerchief and put it on the emperor's forehead, but her hand did not come back, and it fell down and stroked gently along his outline.
Time never forgives people, even the so-called true dragon emperor, under the erosion of time, he will grow old like an ordinary man.
Back then, he was a young man who played horses and flowers, and he had become the haggard and weak man in front of him, who usually looked fine, but his old age became more obvious after he got sick.
Concubine Mei looked at him deeply, full of thoughts.
"Your Majesty, if I weren't a concubine and you weren't the emperor, how good would it be."
Her voice was soft, echoing through the empty dormitory, unnoticed.
She had already collected her emotions when she stood up, and walked gently to the incense burner in the corner, she glanced back, the emperor was sleeping deeply, she carefully took out a small paper bag from her sleeve, opened it and poured the white powder into it.
The spices in the incense burner have not yet burned out, and the taste is light and has not changed at all.
Mei Guifei watched in a daze as wisps of smoke floated out.
"Princess, Lord Hou."
There was a sound in front of the bell outside the door, Mei Guifei's hand shook, and she almost threw away the paper, but when she came back to her senses, she stuffed the paper back into her sleeve and walked away quickly.
Seeing Zhong Qian guarding the door, Xie Shuangge nodded, and asked worriedly, "How is uncle?" Is it very sick? ”
Zhong Qian reassured: "The queen mother has seen Imperial Doctor Luo, Your Majesty is just cold and tired, and it is no big deal to drink medicine on time and rest well." ”
"Alright, can I go in and have a look now? Is there anyone in there? ”
Zhong Qian said softly: "The concubine is serving the sick inside." ”
Xie Shuangge raised her eyebrows, but she was not surprised, "It's okay, the concubine shouldn't dislike me." ”
After speaking, she pushed open the door and gave Chu Wuxian a look, and the two walked in one after the other.
Zhong Qian was not at ease, and followed behind.
Entering the inner room, Xie Shuangge saw Concubine Mei sitting at the head of the bed, gently wiping the emperor's sweat, turned her head when she heard the movement, and nodded at them, "Jianing is here." ”
Xie Shuangge and Chu Wuxian approached after seeing the salute, and Chu Wuxian looked at the emperor's face, it really didn't look like he was seriously ill.
Xie Shuangge touched the emperor's face, it was still very hot, and his brows furrowed, "How could my uncle catch a cold?" ”
