The emperor looked solemn.

He looked up at the ginkgo leaves slowly falling not far away and sighed.

"I hope she can be as unreasonable and fussy as before."

Prince Guo's heart was in his throat.

Judging from the emperor's eyes, it seemed that something bad had happened to Concubine Hua.

Prince Guo suppressed his worries deep in his heart.

A smile appeared on his handsome face.

"Brother, what happened to Concubine Hua that made you express such abnormal emotions?"

The emperor withdrew his gaze from the fallen leaves on the ground and fell on the wine glass in his hand.

"The health of Concubine Hua is getting worse and worse. I am worried!"

"How is it bad?"

"Hua Fei doesn't have much time left?"

There was a crisp sound of "crack".

The cup in Prince Guo's hand fell to the ground and shattered.

The emperor frowned and looked at Prince Guo.

"Old Seventeen, you can't drink much. Have you drunk too much?"

Prince Guo was slightly startled, and when he saw the scrutiny in Su Peisheng's eyes, he quickly smiled and said,

"I am shocked. In the past, when I saw Concubine Hua, she always looked superior and proud. Every time I saw her, I felt that my brother doted on her very much. Now, I heard my brother say that she will not live long. I... can't believe it!"

When the emperor heard Prince Guo say this, he became even more sad and felt more depressed.

"Old Seventeen, if it were you, what would you do?"

Prince Guo looked up at the blue sky and white clouds, and said slowly,

"Brother, is there any place that Concubine Hua would like to go, or any food that she would like to eat? I think the purpose of life is to leave no regrets."

"No regrets?" The emperor chewed on these four words carefully.

Suddenly, he sat up straight.

"Before I married Concubine Hua, she loved riding horses on the grassland. But with her body, how could I bear to let her stay so far away from me?"

Prince Guo suggested, "Brother, why bother to go far away? Yuanmingyuan is a good place to go!"

The emperor's eyes lit up and he pointed at Prince Guo.

"You still have more tricks!"

Prince Guo bowed his hands and said modestly: "If your Majesty trusts me, I will arrange this matter."

The emperor said, "Brother, what is there to believe or not? Yuanmingyuan is indeed suitable for recuperation. That's it."

After a brief gathering with Prince Guo, the emperor returned to the Yangxin Palace to handle state affairs.

As soon as Prince Guo returned to the palace, he immediately prepared to transform the Old Summer Palace.

Jin looked at the list and kept clicking his tongue.

"My Lord, I know. I thought you were going to spend a lot of money to marry a wife!"

Prince Guo picked up the fan and hit A Jin hard on the head.

"What are you still standing there for? Go find some grass."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

----

After two days of recuperation, and with Wen Shichu reducing the dosage of the medicine, Concubine Hua felt much better.

She made some delicious food and went to see the Fourth Prince Hongli, and also asked the wet nurse to bring the Eighth Prince Hongzhou over.

"Hongli, this is your favorite cake."

Concubine Hua handed the pastries to Hongli personally.

Hongli took it, put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully.

Seeing that his mouth was covered with pastry crumbs, Concubine Hua wiped it carefully with a handkerchief.

"Eat slowly, don't rush, no one will snatch it from you."

"Yes, Empress Mother." While eating, big tears rolled down Hongli's eyes.

Concubine Hua was very surprised to see him like this.

"Hongli, who bullied you? Tell mother, and I will teach him a lesson!"

Hongli shook his head and said with a sob: "No one bullies me."

Hua Fei was puzzled, "Since no one is bullying you, why are you crying?"

Hongli raised his head, his eyes were bloodshot.

"My son is worried that he will never be able to eat the cakes made by mother again?"

Concubine Hua wiped his tears.

"How could that be? Mother just hasn't been feeling well lately, so she can't cook delicious food for Hongli often. From now on, mother, can you ask Aunt Songzhi to send you delicious cakes often?"

"Mother, will you always make delicious cakes for your son?"

"Mother will try her best..."

Hongli looked gloomy.

"It turns out that what they said was true! Mother, you are really going to die!"

Hua Fei was shocked, "Who told you that?"

Hongli was a little scared when he saw that Concubine Hua was angry.

"That's what the eunuchs and maids in the palace all say!"

Concubine Hua suppressed the smile on her face, grabbed Hongli's hand, and comforted him softly.

"Don't listen to those rumors. What you need to do is study hard!"

Hongli snorted.

"Mother, you are a liar, a liar!"

Concubine Hua knew that Hongli was very smart.

Since he already knew the truth of the matter, Concubine Hua decided to tell Hongli the truth.

"My mother's health is getting worse day by day. Sooner or later, she will leave Hongli. I would like to ask you for a favor, okay?"

Hearing that Concubine Hua actually wanted to ask him for something, Hongli said without hesitation,

"Mother, if you have anything to ask, just tell me. If I can do it, I will do my best!"

Hongli straightened his back and wiped away his tears, like a little adult.

Hua Fei gently stroked his head, "What if, what if one day my mother is gone, can you help take care of the Eighth Prince? Don't let others bully him?"

As she spoke, Concubine Hua asked the wet nurse to bring the Eighth Prince over.

Hongli knew very early that Concubine Hua had her own child.

Now that I see it with my own eyes, I am very happy.

"Mother, this is my younger brother?"

Hua Fei nodded, "Yes, he is your brother."

Hongli gently squeezed Hongzhou's little hand and said, "My little brother is so cute... Mother, you should take care of him yourself."

When Concubine Hua looked at Hong Zhou's cute face, her eyes immediately turned red.

"Mother wants to, too, but she doesn't have much time left. Hongli, can you promise me?"

Hongli pouted, let go of Hongzhou's little hand and turned his head away.

"No, my son won't agree. Mother will take care of my brother herself!"

Concubine Hua turned Hongli's head towards her.

"I'm begging you, okay? I have no other choice."

Looking at Concubine Hua's red eyes, Hongli bit his lip.

"Okay, I will take good care of my brother! But, mother, you also have to promise me, be good!"

Concubine Hua smiled and pinched Hongli's ear.

"Okay, I'll try my best."

"Don't try your best!"

"Then work hard, mother!"

Hongli snorted, "That's more like it!"

After coming out from Hongli, Concubine Hua saw Su Peisheng as soon as she arrived at Yiku Palace.

"Empress Hua, you're not feeling well, why are you still walking around?"

With the help of Songzhi, Concubine Hua stepped down from the sedan chair and nodded slightly to Su Peisheng.

"I went to see the Fourth Prince. He has been ill these days and I haven't seen him for a long time."

Su Peisheng sighed with emotion, "Only Concubine Hua remembers the Fourth Prince."

Hua Fei said: "This child is ambitious, I like him."

Su Peisheng nodded, thinking of the purpose of this trip, and stepped forward and said: "This time, I came here on the orders of the emperor. I will take you to Yuanmingyuan to recuperate in two days."
