The slightly covered bed curtains blocked the bright light, making it a little dark.The emperor was half lying on the bed, with the light yellow thin quilt lightly draped over his chest, faintly rising and falling.The slender, white knuckles hung down on the side of the bed, becoming even paler.

There was no trace of blood on his handsome face, his eyes were a little dim, and he had lost his former look, and there was a hint of red around his lips.

The queen sat sideways on the side of the bed, the hem of the lavender dress slipped to the ground, covering the embroidered shoes, and the slender fingers under the sleeves were lightly resting on the quilt.The makeup on the beautiful face was exquisite, and the thick powder couldn't hide the gray under the eyes, and there was a trace of deep worry in the eyes.

She reached out to take the medicine bowl handed over by the maid beside her, lightly held the spoon with her round fingertips, scooped up a spoonful of the medicine juice, blew on it until the heat dissipated, and then fed it to the emperor's mouth, "The medicine juice is a bit hot, be careful .”

The emperor shook his head slightly, the queen was well aware of his body, drinking the concoction in front of Xuan'er was just to make Xuan'er feel at ease, now that there are only the two of them around, why should they deceive themselves.

"Your Majesty, drink the decoction, and your illness will be cured sooner." The Queen persuaded in a warm voice, her raised arm was a little sore, but it lasted for a long time.

"Zhen's illness will not be cured." The emperor said slowly, his voice was a little weak.He has been waiting for this moment for too long, and he doesn't want to recall the pain and despair of the past, and now he can finally go to accompany his lover.

"What are you talking about? Didn't the imperial doctor say that as long as you take the decoction on time, you can recover from your illness." The Queen's fingertips trembled slightly. Maybe she was still deceiving herself. She didn't want to face the news that the person who had accompanied her for many years was about to die fact.Even though the emperor had never really looked at her, the figure of the emperor for more than twenty years had already been deeply imprinted in her heart.

The emperor smiled lightly, he never thought that the empress would believe the false words of those imperial physicians, maybe they were just polite words, they have been husband and wife for more than [-] years, they seem to love each other but in fact they respect each other like ice.If he leaves, the empress will become the empress dowager. With the support of the empress dowager, the status of the Chen family in the court will not be shaken.

The emperor looked at the concoction in the white porcelain spoon, lowered his head and swallowed it.Seeing that the emperor was finally willing to drink the medicine, the queen breathed a sigh of relief, even though the soup and medicine didn't have any meaning, there would be some effect after drinking it.

"Queen, don't embarrass Xuan'er too much in the future." The emperor looked into the queen's gentle eyes. Having lived with Xuan'er for nearly 20 years, if she died of illness from anger, Xuan'er would feel very sad.

"The concubine sees Xuan'er growing up by her side, and it's too late to pet her, so she's willing to embarrass him." The queen said softly, she knew what the emperor meant, and if Xuan'er could live in harmony with Xiao Wan, she would not Interfering too much.

"I hope the empress can always remember how Xuan'er was by your side when I was a child." The emperor secretly sighed in his heart. Xuan'er already has a loved one and must not accept Xiao Wan anymore. Dispute between queens.He only hoped that when the queen scolded Xuan'er angrily, she would soften her heart a little bit by remembering Xuan'er's cuteness when she was a child.

A child with an immature face seemed to appear in the queen's mind, with a slight hint of tenderness between her eyebrows and eyes. She looked at the trace of worry on the emperor's face, and promised, "The concubine will live in the palace in the future to eat fast and chant Buddha. anything."

The emperor nodded reassuringly, "Xuan'er is filial, and she will often take time to visit the queen. The queen has her grandson by her side, so she is not too lonely."

The queen's expression was a bit gloomy, it was difficult for Xuan'er to step into her palace now, if the emperor passed away, she would be the empress dowager, and she would be even more reluctant to meet her for fear of Xuan'er.

The door was pushed open softly, and the emperor saw Wei Xuan's beautiful and fair face sideways, showing a slight loving smile.

"Xuan'er pays homage to Father and Queen Mother." Wei Xuan walked to the bedside and knelt on the ground with slightly bent knees.

"Xuan'er, get up quickly." The Queen lifted Wei Xuan up with her sleeves.

"Father, are you feeling better? Are your chest and lungs still hurting?" Wei Xuan looked at the emperor's pale face, feeling a little pain in his heart. The following prescription can see some effect.

"I'm much better now, Xuan'er doesn't have to worry too much." The emperor raised his hand and patted the queen's fingertips, and the queen stood up slowly.

"Xuan'er, stay with the emperor well. The concubine will leave first." The maid at the side stepped forward to hold the queen's arm, and the queen hurried to the corner of the corridor, pausing for a while, a tear running down her fair face. Slowly dripping down her face, she took out a clean white handkerchief and gently wiped away the tears.

The emperor's condition is getting worse, and I'm afraid he won't survive these two days.Perhaps the emperor has been suffering for many years and suffered from illness, and he can still be relieved by leaving.The queen recalled the emaciated and pale cheeks of the emperor, and her heart became more and more bitter.The scarlet fingertips grabbed the veil tightly.

"Xuan'er, sit down." The emperor stretched out his hand and gently pulled Wei Xuan's sleeve. He looked at Wei Xuan's beautiful face, his eyes became softer, and his eyes seemed to drift into the distance.

Wei Xuan supported the emperor's arm, leaned over and sat on the side of the bed.

"Xuan'er is getting old, you can't act recklessly in the future, you have to think more about it." The emperor warned, he was worried that Xuan'er would sit in a high position if he was too young, and he would insist on not listening to advice, and regret it when he made a big mistake Too late.But with Pei Yan staying by Xuan'er's side, he can rest assured.

Wei Xuan nodded, listening to his father's words, he felt a little uneasy.

"I know that Xuan'er has no intentions for Xiao Wan, but the harem can't be without children for a day, Xiao Wan has a gentle temperament and will take good care of Xin'er. I hope that Xuan'er can treat Xiao Wan well in consideration of the overall situation." The emperor took a short breath and said slowly He was afraid that Xuan'er, who was young and vigorous, would decree to abolish the empress as soon as he came to the throne, which would anger the Chen family, and it would not be conducive to Xuan'er's securing the throne.

"Father, don't worry, I will never hurt Xiaowan." Wei Xuan looked into the emperor's eyes, he had long intended to send Xiaowan out of the palace and give her freedom, but now the timing is not right, when he restrains the Chen family, he must Xiaowan will be well arranged.

"Xu'er, although your mother's words are a bit strong, but she is sincerely treating Xuan'er well. I hope that Xuan'er will recall when she was by your bed every night when she was a child, so that she can visit her more in the future." The emperor said. He patted Wei Xuan's fingertips lightly, he was worried that Wei Xuan would feel resentful when he learned that the queen was not his biological mother, and treated him coldly.

"Xuan'er will never forget his mother's kindness in raising her for nearly 20 years. Xuan'er is willing to be filial to her mother." Wei Xuan said loudly, no matter what happens in the future, he will respect his mother, but he hopes that her mother will not touch his bottom line.

The emperor nodded, and stroked Wei Xuan's shoulder lightly. If Wei Xuan can do what he said today, he will be able to rest in peace. Heart, after Xuan'er ascends the throne, it is enough to mention the Chen family a little bit, and it must not be too much." The emperor knew Wei Xuan's thoughts, but he was already terminally ill and could not watch Wei Xuan go too far, he could only look at Wei Xuan Always remember today's exhortation.

"Father." Wei Xuan held the emperor's thin wrist, his fingertips trembling slightly. The teacher once said that the father would not have many days. Could it be that today is the father's deathbed entrustment? He would rather not listen to today's words and let his father The emperor lived a few more days.

The emperor waved his hand, signaling to Wei Xuan that there is no need to say any more, he had already listened to those polite words of comfort for many days, and was already tired of hearing them.

Wei Xuan looked at the emperor's dim eyes filled with despair, and felt a little pain in his heart. He reached out and took out a jade pendant from the skirt of his shirt, "A few days ago, I asked the teacher to check on my father's affairs. The Yuan mansion has been destroyed. Teacher It took a lot of trouble to find a jade pendant that used to be close to my father." Wei Xuan hoped that his father would be a little happier when he saw his father's token, but he couldn't even find his father's portrait. I copied one according to the model.

The emperor picked up the jade pendant and held it between his white palms, his eyes were slightly moist, overflowing with a deep sense of cherishment, he held the jade pendant firmly and pressed it to his chest, there seemed to be a tall figure in front of him, with a young and beautiful face There was a faint smile.

"Ming." The emperor stretched out his hand to hold the boy's fingertips, but the boy gradually disappeared.The emperor opened his mouth, his throat seemed to be constricted, he couldn't make any sound, his chest heaved violently, and a sharp pain gradually spread.

"Xuan'er, I'm going to see your father." There was a trace of pain on the emperor's face, but the corners of his mouth slightly curled up to reveal a smile.

"Father," Wei Xuan put his arms around the emperor's shoulders, and supported him in his arms. "Hurry up and call the imperial physician." Wei Xuan ordered the attendants beside him in a loud voice.

"No, come back." The emperor looked at the palace people who had gone away and raised their hands but dropped them heavily. It was enough to have Xuan'er with him before he died, he didn't want to see those old imperial doctors.

"Father, I gave birth to twins that day, don't you want to see your other grandson?" Wei Xuan's eyes were slightly wet, and sourness rose to the tip of his nose.

"Ming, wait for me to go together, don't leave me alone." The emperor sat up suddenly, staring into the distance with both eyes, and his voice was extremely soft.

The emperor's body slowly leaned back, his arms slipped to the side of the bed, a smile remained on his handsome face.

"Father, the imperial physician will be here soon. May I promise you that I will bring Xi'er here tomorrow?" Wei Xuan leaned against the emaciated shoulder of the emperor, his clothes were slightly damp.In his memory, he has never seen his father smile, today is the first time and the last time, maybe his father saw his father.

His father has spent more than ten years in pain and self-blame, and he misses his father every day. Now his father's death is a kind of relief. He only hopes that his father can be happier underground with his father.However, Wei Xuan has experienced what it's like to be in the cold underworld, so he doesn't have to suffer so much to feel better in the world.

Wei Xuan looked at the jade pendant that had slipped between the quilts, reached out to pick it up and held it in the palm of the emperor. "Father, please sleep soundly, my son will never disappoint your entrustment."
