and son

Meng Chuji's pupils shrank sharply, and his heart was beating wildly.

The sweat in his hands was sweating, and his voice was a little unsteady: "How could this be? Can... can you live longer?"

Pei Jing's voice was unbelievably hoarse, and trembling imperceptibly, it sounded worrying.

"The imperial doctor said that Grandma Huang had a heart attack, her pulse was exhausted, and that the elixir would hang her life. The imperial physician accompanying Grandma Huang said that Grandma Huang was depressed and sick for a long time in Putuo Temple. Grandma Huang refused to treat him and refused to let him Inform others of your condition."

Seeing his sad look, Meng Chuji felt extremely uncomfortable, and at the same time felt a little bit of secret joy.

The Empress Dowager did not live more than two months.

Is it God's will?

The only empress dowager who realized that his identity brought him a crisis was about to die.

"Quiet, Grandma Huang doesn't want me anymore."

Pei Jing pressed against his forehead, distraught.

Meng Chuji wanted to slap himself immediately.

How could he do this.

How could he expect the Queen Mother to die.

That is a life.

That's Pei Jing's own grandma!

Even if the identity is exposed, even if the matter is exposed, so what.

It can't be like this, it can't be like this.

Meng Chuji clenched his fists, forced himself to sweep away the distracting thoughts in his mind, and comforted Pei Jing sincerely: "Qiu Yu, don't be sad, Grandma Huang definitely doesn't want to see you like this when she wakes up."

Pei Jing closed her eyes and did not speak.

Meng Chuji raised his arms to hug him, and patted his back lightly.

After a while, the Queen Mother woke up, and the short waking moment made her seem to fall asleep again at any time, her lips moved, and the people around the bed leaned over to listen, and heard him calling:

"Jing'er."

Gillian was so happy that she wept, she yelled at Pei Jing: "Brother Prince, Grandma Huang is awake."

Hearing this, Pei Jing immediately opened her eyes, let go of Meng Chuji, strode to the bed, saw her raise her hand and held it, but the Queen Mother broke away from him, waved lightly to the other people in the group, and said angrily: "Everyone go out."

Emperor Sui turned back with a serious expression: "Everyone get out!"

The people in the hall, including Meng Chuji, should all withdraw.

The person retreated cleanly, Pei Jing put his ear to the Queen Mother's lips, and asked anxiously: "Grandma Huang, what do you want to say?"

The queen mother moved her lips lightly, "Jing'er, promise Grandma Huang one thing."

"Grandma, tell me."

"Promise Grandma Huang, I will do what I want to do...a Mingjun, don't be deeply attached to anyone, the things you care about in life will torture you more, Grandma Huang's Jing'er wants... always be ambitious, unrestrained, unrestrained, Okay... okay?"

Pei Jing couldn't stop crying, "Grandma Huang."

The Empress Dowager caressed his face bit by bit, tenderly and lovingly, as if touching some rare treasure.

"It really looks like your grandpa, both in face and temperament. If your grandpa is still alive, he must be very proud to have a grandson like you."

"Grandma, don't say that."

The queen mother wiped away his tears, "I still have two months to live, don't cry too early, it's late at night, go back."

Pei Jing clenched her hand, shook her head, the queen mother slowly closed her eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

The nanny who has been with the queen mother for more than ten years couldn't help but persuade: "Your Highness, apart from the first emperor, the queen mother loves you the most in her life. Go back and rest, otherwise the queen mother will feel distressed when she wakes up."

Pei Jing looked at her, wiped the tears from her eyes, slowly straightened up, and stepped out of the hall step by step.

As soon as he went out, Emperor Sui and others gathered around and asked with concern: "How is the queen mother?"

Pei Jing lowered her head slowly: "She fell asleep."

Everyone's expressions were different, Emperor Sui turned and entered the hall, the queen called "Your Majesty", Emperor Sui never turned his head and said: "My father passed away, and my mother went to Yuanqing Mountain. I have never had a chance to be filial, so I will accompany you tonight Her old man, you all go away."

The queen's face was slightly condensed, and she didn't dissuade her, she just said to Pei Jing: "Jing'er, don't be too sad, your grandma misses your grandpa, and now she is about to get her long-cherished wish."

Pei Jing remained silent, and the queen said to Meng Chuji who was in the distance: "Crown princess, come and take His Highness back to the mansion."

Meng Chuji stepped forward as he said, put one hand on Pei Jing's shoulder, and led him forward. Pei Jing followed him step by step like a marionette on a string, and the two disappeared from everyone's sight.

Boarding the carriage back home, Pei Jing sat silently, the carriage was filled with suffocating dullness.

Meng Chuji held his head, let him lean on his body, patted his back lightly, and comforted him: "Qiu Yu, birth, old age, sickness and death are normal, don't be too sad."

Pei Jing asked suddenly: "Will you leave me?"

Meng Chuji was startled.

Pei Jing continued: "Grandma Huang told me not to be deeply attached to anyone, do you want to leave me?"

Meng Chuji didn't answer for a while, and after two seconds, he said: "No, I didn't want to leave you, I came here with my relatives, there is no way for me to leave you."

"Don't talk about marriage, talk about yourself." Pei Jing uncharacteristically did not let him go, "Will you leave me?"

Meng Chuji was speechless.

Not talking about marriage, just talking about himself, his ambition is to honor his parents, or send love to the mountains and rivers, or eat, drink and have fun in the mansion of General Meng, why is he willing to be detained in the mansion of a small prince.

But this cannot be said.

Pei Jing seemed to be stimulated by something, turned his face, and met his eyes, not giving him any choice to escape.

He repeated his question again: "Will you?"

Meng Chuji hesitated to say something against his will: "I will not leave you."

Having just experienced what happened to the Queen Mother, Pei Jing couldn't stand the blow from him for the time being, so it's better to coax him.

Pei Jing hugged him tightly, his hands imprisoned his body, making him ache, as if he wanted to use this to become one with him.

And his words were both angry and stubborn, and said: "You promise me, you must never break your promise, no matter what happens, you can't leave me, even if you have never liked me at all in your life, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?"

"Otherwise I don't know what I would do."

Meng Chuji let out a sigh of relief, and the strings in his heart loosened. After all, Pei Jing is Pei Jing. He is so gentle that he can't even say threatening words. His heart is too kind, and he may not be able to do anything at that point. Let's be tough.

But if he had to, he didn't want to disappoint him.

Pei Jing hugged Meng Chuji, feeling extremely insecure.

He clearly felt that Meng Chuji was alienated from him, his answer was hesitant and hesitant, he was deceiving him, Grandma Huang had seen this clearly and warned him not to be emotional, but what can be done, she warned too late No, he can no longer let go of Meng Chuji!

He doesn't ask much, as long as Meng Chuji doesn't leave him, it doesn't matter if he doesn't love him, it doesn't matter if he doesn't want to be nice to him, as long as he is still by his side.

If he insisted on leaving, even if he was chained and imprisoned for the rest of his life, he still wanted him to stay by his side.

The carriage gradually came to a stop, and the entire capital was set off with firecrackers. The sound of crackling and crackling resounded through the silent night. The chief steward, who was waiting at the gate of the Prince's Mansion to welcome them back, took a step forward, bowed and said:

"Your Highness, you are back, is it time to light the cannon?"

Pei Jing was about to speak when Meng Chuji stepped forward and said, "Burn it, but this is your new year's money, and I will distribute it to other people."

He took out a lot of bulging red paper from his sleeve, and he could tell at a glance that the inside was silver.

The manager took the red envelope and said happily: "Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Majesty."

Pei Jing was thanked without doing anything, her expression softened, and she led Meng Chuji into the mansion without saying a word.

The manager ordered firecrackers to be set off, and the crackling sound exploded behind them, and then the gate closed, and the sound of firecrackers gradually disappeared.

Back in the room, the two showered and went to bed.

Meng Chuji was very tired, he yawned several times in a row, and soon fell asleep. Pei Jing looked at his profile until the end of the night.

Early the next morning, Pei Jing woke up, and even Meng Chuji was awakened.

Meng Chuji was so sleepy that he rubbed his eyes and slurred his words, "Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

While getting dressed, Pei Jing said, "I'll go into the palace to see Grandma Huang."

Meng Chuji suddenly remembered that the Queen Mother was diagnosed with myocardial infarction yesterday, and time was running out, so he quickly got up from the bed and said, "I'll go with you."

Pei Jing did not object, and the two entered the palace together.

There are a few people waiting in the Palace of Mercy, Xu is not allowed to enter to visit the Empress Dowager, among them is Pei Xian, when Pei Jing arrived with Meng Chuji, the nanny came up to welcome her.

"Your Highness, you are here."

"How is grandma?"

Pei Jing asked.

The nanny said: "Just after drinking the medicine, I feel much more energetic. The empress dowager said something and wanted to say it to the empress dowager alone. Please go to Chaoyang Palace to greet the empress first, and then come to him in the afternoon."

Pei Jing guessed that the Empress Dowager wanted to beat him up by leaving Meng Chuji alone, so she nodded and said to Meng Chuji, "Jing Jing, you accompany Grandma Huang, I'll come over later."

Meng Chuji almost understood in his heart why the Empress Dowager was looking for him, and stepped into the Palace of Mercy with the feeling that if he stretched out his head, he would be the same. The nanny led the way and brought him to the Queen Mother's bed.

The Empress Dowager's complexion became much more haggard, with the rotten breath of a dying person lingering all over her body, she glanced at the people in the palace, and ordered: "You all go out."

The mother and the ladies of the court all went down.

Seeing that the queen mother was about to reach out for tea, Meng Chuji hurriedly handed it over, and thoughtfully moved the pillow behind him so that she could lean on it more comfortably.

The queen mother spoke slowly: "We haven't finished talking last time."

Meng Chuji knelt in front of the Queen Mother, lowered his eyelashes and said, "Grandma Huang, Your Highness and I are both men, don't you think it's ridiculous?"

"Jing'er has been wise all her life. It's okay to be ridiculous once or twice. It's not a big mistake to like a man. It's not a mistake to like a person..." The Queen Mother sighed slightly, "However, twisted melons are not sweet. I see you these days I've figured out how much I get along with Jing'er, so I don't plan to force you to fall in love with Jing'er anymore, I want you to tell Jing'er the truth yourself, and cut off his thoughts."
