The official road of the farmer

The influence of Daxia has crossed a new level again, which is something that the whole country is extremely proud of, and the joyous atmosphere persists from top to bottom.

Ye Junshu thought that this good thing would last until the next year, and they could have a good year.

But after winter, the empress dowager's phoenix body began to suffer. At the beginning, it was just the cold air entering the body.

No matter what age people are, what they are most afraid of is getting sick, especially the old and weak, with insufficient resistance. A small wind and cold may kill them.

Not to mention the low level of medical care in ancient times.

If the empress dowager can cross the year, it will be a rare year, and it is already a rare longevity.

Empress Li also told Emperor Tai'an in private that next year the Empress Dowager will celebrate her birthday and add blessings.

It never occurred to me that in just a short period of time, the Empress Dowager would be sick and linger on the bed, and there were few signs that the oil was exhausted and the lamp was dying.

Emperor Tai'an and Empress Li were both in front of the bed, looking worriedly at the sleeping empress dowager.

Several highly respected old doctors took turns to check the pulse, their faces were not relaxed, and they whispered to each other what they had learned from the pulse.

His pampered face was old and gray.

The leading physician Zhang was startled and sweating in the cold weather, the time of the Queen Mother is numbered!

A group of imperial physicians stood bowed and bowed their heads, not daring to speak again.

"Physician Zhang, how is the Empress Dowager's phoenix body? Has it improved?" Empress Li asked quickly when Physician Zhang finished checking her pulse.

"This..." Imperial Physician Zhang bowed, "The Empress Dowager..."

Emperor Tai'an looked angry, "Why are you hesitating, why don't you report it truthfully!"

Doctor Zhang immediately knelt down, "The emperor forgives the sin, the empress forgives the sin, the humble minister is helpless, the empress dowager, the empress dowager..."

Doctor Zhang is the imperial physician of the empress dowager. He is known as the master of Chinese medicine. number one position.

But no matter how straightforward he was, Imperial Physician Zhang did not dare to tell Emperor Tai'an and Empress Li that the Queen Mother's time is numbered!

But he can't lie either.

The Empress Dowager's body is already old and unable to bear the tiger and wolf medicine, and the mild medicine has no effect on the current Empress Dowager.

He can't lie against his conscience, otherwise, if something happens to the Queen Mother, but he said that he can be saved, wouldn't he die faster?

Empress Li frowned and said solemnly: "Doctor Zhang, if you have something to say, you may as well speak it out, and you must not hide it."

Emperor Tai'an also said angrily: "Otherwise I will punish you for the crime of deceiving the emperor."

Under the threats and lures of the two giants, Imperial Physician Zhang could only bite the bullet and tell the truth: "The empress dowager, the empress dowager is already exhausted, and there is nothing I can do."

"Nonsense!" Emperor Tai'an was furious, "Doctor Meng! Say it!"

"Your Majesty, please calm down, Your Majesty, please calm down..."

The imperial doctor Meng who was named knelt down and kept shouting, and the other imperial physicians also knelt on the ground.

"Heal, give me medical treatment regardless of the cost, if you can't cure the Queen Mother, I want your heads!"

"Your Majesty, forgive me, Your Majesty, forgive me..." No matter how good their medical skills are, they can't save a dying person!

"Okay, prince..."

I don't know when the empress dowager woke up, he coughed a few times, and was about to get up with support.

Queen Li hurriedly turned around to help the Empress Dowager up, and thoughtfully put a cushion on her back.

"Queen."

"Empress, are you awake?!" Emperor Tai'an approached in surprise.

The Empress Dowager just sat up as if exhausting all her strength, he gasped twice, and said displeasedly: "You yelled in front of Aijia, Aijia is not dead yet, can you not wake up?"

"Queen!"

"Queen!"

Emperor Tai'an and Empress Li shouted in unison, disapproving of him saying that word.

"Okay, the Ai family is not afraid, what are you afraid of?"

The empress dowager was very indifferent, as if she was not the one who knew that her time was numbered.

He is a Buddhist, and he is indifferent to life and death, and he has lived to this age, he is already a long life, and he has nothing to regret.

"Life and death is a matter of fate, the Ai family have already looked away, you should also look away."

"Empress..." Emperor Tai'an's eyes were moist.

"Even if the imperial doctor is a genius doctor, he is not a fairy, otherwise there would not be so many births, old ages, illnesses and deaths." The empress dowager has always been interesting, and she probably heard their conversation just now. He didn't want the imperial doctor to be buried with him because of his illness. increase sin.

"You guys go down." The Empress Dowager said to a group of imperial physicians, "Aijia and the Emperor and Empress have some personal words."

"Yes." A group of imperial physicians looked at Emperor Tai'an, and seeing that he ignored them, they bowed and retreated.

"Empress, moisten your throat." Empress Li poured a glass of warm water over, and fed the empress dowager carefully.

As the warm water poured into her throat, the Empress Dowager suddenly felt more energetic and her body became stronger. He patted Empress Li's hand and said weakly: "I have nothing to regret in this life."

Which brother in this world can do as he pleases?In this life, he lived very contentedly.

"Even if I go on now, I still have the face to face the royal ancestors." When the queen mother was a concubine, she was not a favorite concubine, and she had no relationship with the former emperor. It was pure luck to be able to sit in the position of queen mother, and his luck , good for a lifetime.

The only son is the Son of Heaven, his husband is filial, and he has seen the fourth generation of descendants, and he himself has enjoyed decades of glory and wealth. In his life, he has never suffered any grievances.

He has been pursuing his own way all his life.

"It's just that we may not see Jing'er get married and have a child." The empress dowager felt a little regretful.

There are not many juniors who can catch his eyes, and the Seventh Prince is one of them.

Emperor Tai'an said in a hoarse voice: "Yes, Empress Dowager can definitely see Jing'er get married and have children. I have already selected the candidates, and I will give them marriages. They will get married soon after the year. Soon, you will be able to see Jing'er." child was born."

Queen Li looked up at him.

Emperor Tai'an continued: "The younger brother of Jiangge's hometown is sixteen years old, dignified and generous, Hui Lan is beautiful, and Jing'er is very suitable, you must be very happy to see it."

Emperor Tai'an had already selected a candidate, and he was only planning to give him a marriage after the next year, but he did not expect that the empress dowager suddenly fell ill. In the current situation, it is necessary to advance.

The empress dowager nodded in relief.

He is a good brother, worthy of their Jing'er, he believes in Huang'er's vision.

"Just settle it. Don't be in such a hurry because of me, Xiao Qi's marriage is not a child's play." The marriage was too hasty after the year, and there was no need to wrong the two children.

"My son understands."

After talking for a while, the empress dowager was so tired that she fell asleep.

Empress Li helped the Queen Mother to lie down, and after she fell asleep, she asked some Momo to come in and watch at all times, and the Tai'an Emperor and his wife left lightly.

The two were speechless.

Empress Li rubbed her tired eyebrows, "Your Majesty has political affairs to attend to, so go and do it, the business is important."

"Empress Mu is here with me."

Ever since the Empress Dowager fell ill, Empress Li has always served her tirelessly. Now she has not closed her eyes for two days, and she is obviously tired.

And Emperor Tai'an was busy with important national affairs, so he couldn't be by his side all the time.

Emperor Tai'an nodded silently.

"Thank you for your hard work." The atmosphere between the two was not very good.After all, in the current situation of the elders, they are not in the mood to connect with each other.

Empress Li thought for a while and asked, "Is Jing'er's marriage settled?"

Empress Li was supposed to worry about it, but since Emperor Tai'an took over the matter, Empress Li didn't see each other again, but it didn't mean he didn't care.

For a long time, Emperor Tai'an didn't reveal any news, so Empress Li didn't ask any more questions. At this time, when Emperor Tai'an said that someone had been selected, Empress Li naturally wanted to confirm.

"I have thought about it carefully. The grandson of Jiangge's hometown is capable of being a concubine." Emperor Tai'an replied clearly.

Emperor Tai'an carefully screened the candidates for the Seventh Prince.

His main idea was to choose among the older brothers Jiang Ge and Qian Ge.

It just so happens that each of their families has a brother of the right age. In the past, Emperor Tai'an might have been more inclined towards the wealthy Qian Ge Lao, but now their royal family also has a way to make money, and they make huge profits every year. Emperor Tai'an is not in vain at all. , full of confidence, naturally pay more attention to influence.

Jiang Ge is a noble family, and although his influence is not as good as that of the Ming family, his ability to stand upright under his single hand shows his strength.

Dai Wang's concubine came from a famous family, so the seventh prince's concubine could not be worse.

So under balance, Emperor Tai'an chose the brother from Jiangge's hometown.

Empress Li nodded. He has an impression of the Jiang family brother. Among all the men of the right age, the Jiang family brother is also very outstanding. There is also this young brother in the range of Queen Li's choice, so Queen Li is quite satisfied. of.

"Queen, if you are tired, go and have a rest." Emperor Tai'an cared.He still has urgent political affairs to deal with, so he can only do it first and then come back.

Queen Li agreed, but whether to do it or not is another matter.

It can be said that there are no secrets in the palace.

Basically, since the Empress Dowager fell ill, the eyes of the entire harem, concubines, princes, and grandchildren have been in the Empress Dowager's bedroom. No matter what thoughts they have in their hearts, they have actively shown their filial piety.

But the Empress Dowager liked to be clean before she got sick, and couldn't bear to deal with these messy things. Now that she's sick, she's more at ease. Apart from seeing the princes and grandchildren, all concubines and concubines are gone, and even Ming Guifei couldn't enter the palace gate.

Now, apart from Emperor Tai'an, Empress Li and the Seventh Prince, the only ones who could see the Empress Dowager were His Highness Madam Guangpinghou, Li Yu and the Ye family brothers.

When Ye Junshu learned that the Queen Mother was seriously ill, he went to visit with Li Yu.

Li Yu could be regarded as growing up in front of the empress dowager, and his love is different.

Ye Junshu secretly glanced at the face of the empress dowager, and knew in his heart that the empress dowager's time is numbered, and he wonders if she can survive until the end of the year.

He felt a little melancholy and sad. Although he didn't have much contact with the Queen Mother, he was a respectable and amiable old man, and he was very friendly to Ah Yu and several children. It can be said that the Empress Dowager is a Yu is one of their backers.

Whether public or private, Ye Junshu does not want the Queen Mother to have good or bad.

But this kind of thing...he can't do anything about it.

The empress dowager was afraid of making the twins sick, so she let them leave after only watching for a while.

But after taking a look, the Empress Dowager was obviously in a much better mood.

The identical twins, carved in pink and jade, are clever and clever, and they are happy to see them.

Brother Lu often entered the palace, he couldn't bear Queen Li to work hard, so he lived in the palace and served together.

Brother Lu has the title of Princess Hui, he can be regarded as a member of the royal family, and the Queen Mother has always liked Brother Ye, and under the nod of Emperor Tai'an and Queen Li, he served the sick together.

In this way, His Royal Highness Mrs. Guangpinghou and Lu Ge'er will spend more time meeting each other.

Although Madam Hou was not born to the Empress Dowager, she had a very good relationship with Emperor Tai'an since she was a child, no different from her own, so Madam Hou often came to visit the Empress Dowager to relieve her boredom.

But the most important thing right now is to let the queen mother recover from her illness. Mrs. Hou didn't pull Geer Lu to talk, but he was more satisfied with Geer Lu after such a close observation and understanding.

Serving the elderly with all his heart and not complaining, he would also cleverly say some funny things to make the queen mother happy, and he was very organized in his external affairs, no worse than everyone's brother.

It's just that he has already promised Xiaobao not to get involved in their affairs, Mrs. Hou suppressed her thoughts, but her words became more and more kind to him.

Those who appeared in front of the empress dowager were all his favorite juniors, and the empress dowager was in a good mood every day.

People are also very energetic.

In particular, Emperor Tai'an announced the marriage of the Seventh Prince in public one morning, bestowed a marriage on him, and set a good day for the wedding on the tenth day of the Lunar New Year.

Despite the rush, there was only more than half a month, and the Ministry of Rites was busy with the wedding, without any complaints.

Just when everyone thought that the empress dowager would be able to spend the New Year's Eve safely.

At the age of 22, before the new year came, the empress dowager suddenly fell into a coma.

There was a panic in the palace.

After Li Yu entered the palace, he did not come back that day.

Ye Junshu felt something in his heart. It seemed that the Empress Dowager would not be able to pass this year.

Since the coma, the queen mother has been in a daze and has never woken up. Emperor Tai'an personally took care of the sickness. She didn't close her eyes for three days and three nights, but finally closed her eyes forever in the morning of the fourth day.

There was mourning inside and outside the palace.

The Empress Dowager passed away, and it was a national mourning. All the vocal music and entertainment in the capital had stopped, and every household hung white banners and filial piety belts around their waists.

The family members of officials above the rank all go to mourn.

This year is destined not to be a good year.
