Chapter 300: We Can't Do Without You
When Li Wei saw this, his heart sank.
The smile on Zhu Yuanzhang's face gradually solidified. After a long time, he suddenly turned around and asked Li Wei, "Is our sister asleep again?" ”
Li Wei opened his mouth to speak, but looking at his earnest eyes, he couldn't say this cruel truth.
"The Queen Mother?"
"Queen Mother!"
Zhu Biao and An Qing, who were close, also noticed Queen Ma's abnormality, and even called the queen mother a few times, Queen Ma was silent, making sure that the queen mother had gone, and the voices of the two instantly changed from a soft call to a heart-wrenching heart.
The surrounding palace maids and eunuchs hurriedly knelt on the ground in panic.
The imperial doctors also knelt down and began to cry, for fear that they would not be able to express their grief if their movements were slow.
"The Queen's Mother......"
"Shut up!" Zhu Yuanzhang drank violently, his eyes swept over everyone, and the cries of Zhu Biao, An Qing and many imperial doctors and others suddenly stopped abruptly.
"Our sister is just asleep, whoever dares to disturb our sister by screaming again, we will kill him!"
The palace maid and Zhao Xuan, the imperial doctors, were suddenly at a loss, Anqing was still sobbing, and Zhu Biao said to Zhu Yuanzhang with tears in his eyes: "Father, the queen mother, she has gone." ”
"Nonsense! Your queen mother is just tired, she will be fine tomorrow after a good night's sleep! Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at everyone and waved his hand vigorously, "You all go out!" Don't disturb our sister's rest! ”
Zhao Xuan and the others looked at each other and looked at Zhu Biao, who endured his grief and said: "Father, ...... emperor"
"Biao'er, go back quickly, don't delay the government affairs of the imperial court, let's accompany your mother here, let's go, you guys too, go!"
Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted his words and waved his hand again and again to drive people away.
Li Wei sighed lightly and persuaded: "His Royal Highness the Prince, let's step back first." ”
Now in this situation, it is good to let Zhu Yuanzhang stay alone with Queen Ma.
With tears in his eyes, Zhu Biao looked at him, and then looked at the imperial doctor and others who were waiting for orders, and had to stand up with a strong spirit.
Seeing this, the imperial doctors breathed a sigh of relief, and Li Wei also helped An Qing, who was sobbing incessantly, up.
Under the leadership of Zhu Biao, everyone retreated together.
Zhu Yuanzhang held Queen Ma's warm hand and raised it in front of him, forcibly pulled his cheek to show a smile, and muttered in a low voice: "My hand is still hot, my sister is just asleep, sister, you sleep well, we will accompany you, we will always accompany your ......"
The room was quiet, leaving only Zhu Yuanzhang's own whisper.
Everyone withdrew from the hall, Zhu Biao stopped his tears, and said to the imperial doctors: "You all go back." ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mourns."
Zhao Xuan and the other imperial doctors couldn't help but feel happy when they heard this, and then forcibly pressed it again, and saluted Zhu Biao with a sad face.
Zhu Biao didn't have the heart to deal with them at this time, but just waved his hand lightly.
All the imperial doctors left one after another, leaving only Zhu Biao, Li Wei and An Qing standing outside the hall.
After they left, Zhu Biao looked at Anqing who was sobbing in Li Wei's arms, sighed and said to Li Wei: "You guys go back too, take care of Anqing." ”
Li Wei hugged An Qing tightly, looked up at Zhu Biao, and said with some worry: "His Royal Highness the Prince, you also have to take care of your health, Your Majesty may have no intention of ruling in the past few days, you must hold on." ”
"Don't worry, I know." Zhu Biao said softly.
Li Wei nodded, and then helped Anqing to leave together.
"I don't have a queen mother......"
On the carriage, An Qing raised his head with tears in his eyes, looked at Li Wei and said.
Li Wei was also very uncomfortable when he saw her like this, so he could only hug her tightly, hoping that she would have some comfort.
Tonight's capital is exceptionally cold, perhaps because of the snow a few days ago, or because of the departure of Queen Ma.
In the early morning of the next day, Li Wei covered Anqing with a quilt and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes for her.
Anqing cried until late last night and didn't fall asleep until the early hours of the morning.
And Li Wei himself stayed awake all night, but now in the special period, he can't take care of making up for sleep, so he asked Xiaoqing and Xiaohong to change his clothes and go out early in the morning.
In Kunning Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes stared at Queen Ma, who was silent, and his heart gradually cooled down like Queen Ma's hand.
The hand that had been pressed in his arms was as cold as ice cubes at this time, and he couldn't warm it no matter how hot he was.
The morning sun poured in through the window, shining on his somewhat stiff cheeks, awakening him from his stupor.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked up at the sun, then stood up violently, probed in front of Queen Ma, and called softly:
"Girl, it's dawn!"
Seeing that she didn't move, Zhu Yuanzhang pushed her with trembling hands:
"It's dawn, it's time to get up, wake up, girl!"
"Wake up, you can't lose us! We can't live without you! ”
"Ah......h
Zhu Yuanzhang kept shaking Queen Ma's stiff body, screaming heartbreakingly, and finally couldn't help crying.
When the palace maids and eunuchs outside the hall heard this cry, they all bowed their heads in silence, and no one dared to enter, let alone persuade them.
The early dynasty was closed for several days, and the news of Queen Ma's death spread rapidly, and the ministers who heard the news had different reactions.
The noble generals led by Tang and Feng Sheng were all grieved when they heard the news.
These generals, who followed Zhu Yuanzhang to fight the world, have been favored by Queen Ma in the past. When Zhu Yuanzhang fought the world, he took them around to fight, and their wives and children, old and young, were taken care of by Queen Ma, and their clothes and shoes were often sewn by Queen Ma and many female dependents.
Zhu Yuanzhang governed the army strictly, and these generals were often punished, and it was Queen Ma who interceded and saved many people.
It can be said that half of their loyalty to Zhu Yuanzhang is because of Queen Ma's favor.
On the Wenchen side, although the favor received was much less than that of the founding generals, the grief shown by the Wenchen was even greater than that of these generals, and they gathered outside the palace gate early to cry silently, and the generals immediately rushed over when they learned of this.
Ministry of Industry Yamen, Li Wei sat in the lobby frowning, he could faintly hear the sound of the civil and military ministers crying here, but he knew better that the volume of these people's crying was not proportional to the grief in his heart, he was sure that most of these people were pretending, and the actual grief was not as good as him.
When Li Wei was irritable about the hypocrisy of these people, Wang Jie hurriedly walked in, and when he saw that he was still sitting in the yamen and did not move, he immediately said anxiously: "My lord, why don't you cry?" ”
"What are you crying about? Your Majesty is sad and ignores the government, and you don't care about it, do you want this tomorrow? Li Wei reprimanded.
Wang Jie was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't know how to reply.
"Hey, forget it, I'm going to enter the palace to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in a while, you can stop in moderation, don't delay official business!"
Li Wei sighed helplessly.
"Yes." Wang Jie agreed.
After Wang Jie retired, Li Wei also got up and left the Ministry of Industry and went to the palace.
When passing by the palace gate, seeing this group of crying and howling ministers, Li Wei couldn't help frowning deeply, although he also understood that these superficial skills were indispensable, but seeing their crying appearance worse than Anqing, he felt a burst of disgust!
Li Wei ignored these people and hurried into the palace with a heavy heart.
Among the ministers who knelt on the ground in pain, many people saw him like this, and their eyes were different.
Kunning Palace, the door of the palace was closed, Zhu Biao waited a little anxiously, and after a while, a little eunuch opened the door of the palace and walked out of it with a food box.
"How?" Zhu Biao asked eagerly.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Your Majesty still doesn't see anyone." The little eunuch saluted and said.
"Did the father eat?"
"Nope."
When Zhu Biao heard this, he suddenly became even more worried, and he was about to go in by himself, but the little eunuch hurriedly stopped: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Your Majesty said that no one will be seen!" ”
Zhu Biao paused, his face anxious, but helpless.
A moment later, Li Wei also came here and saluted Zhu Biao.
Zhu Biao waved his hand casually to excuse him, and then asked eagerly: "Father, he doesn't eat, drink, and doesn't see anyone, can't go on like this, do you have any way?" ”
Li Wei sighed: "Give Your Majesty a few more days, just deliver meals on time every day." ”
Zhu Biao was still frowning when he heard this.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty has gone all the way to today, and you won't fall so easily, but Your Highness, you must maintain a good government during this time." Li Wei spoke again to persuade.
"Hey, okay."
Zhu Biao sighed and agreed softly.
Then Li Wei said: "Your Highness, I saw the Chinese martial arts gathered outside the palace gate to cry for the mother, it is not a way to go on like this, the imperial court affairs cannot be delayed, I think it is better to let them go back to work." ”
Hearing Li Wei's words, Zhu Biao also bowed his head slightly, he also understood these things, he held back his grief in order to maintain the government, how could these ministers be more sad than him?
"Come on, go to the palace gate to spread the decree, and say that the ministers have made their intentions clear, but the government is more serious, and the ministers are ordered to return to their headquarters and not delay their official affairs."
Zhu Biao summoned the eunuch and commanded softly.
"Yes!" The little eunuch took the order and left in a hurry.
Outside the palace gate, as the little eunuch repeated Zhu Biao's words loudly, the ministers stopped crying and left in twos and threes.
On Xungui's side, Huang Bin, Zheng Yuchun and other generals walked with Li Shanchang with sadness on their faces.
Although they didn't cry as exaggerated as Wenchen just now, they were really sad in their hearts.
"Hey, I didn't expect such a good person as the queen mother to pass away so early, it's really eyeless!"
Huang Bin sighed sadly.
"yes." Zheng Yuchun also chimed in.
Li Shanchang also looked sad, and when the two of them finished speaking, he sighed lightly: "I heard that this time it was also Li Wei who treated Niangniang, but unfortunately he couldn't save Niangniang again this time." ”
When Huang Bin, Zheng Yuchun and others heard this, they also shook their heads and sighed.
Some, however, see it differently.
"When I saw that kid enter the palace just now, I didn't mean to be sad at all, I don't think he did his best to heal his mother!"
Governor Sun Ke complained a little.
He has a good relationship with Lan Yu and has obeyed orders under Lan Yu many times, so he is very hostile to Li Wei. (End of chapter)
