Sure enough, the Empress Dowager secretly sent someone eight hundred miles to urgently summon King Xiang to Beijing with a golden talisman.Needless to say, the next step is to force the sick Heidan to abdicate.And I will probably end up like Yang Yuhuan.

The eunuch Fan Quan sent by Fan Jin failed to catch up with the Queen Mother.

But Xiao Wu did not leave immediately after receiving the golden talisman and the "King Qin"'s order.

As if he knew in advance that there might be a second batch of people, he waited for my team.

Fan Quan returned to Beijing and brought back a letter from Xiao Wu.In the letter, Xiaowu greeted Heidan and me, expressing that he had no intention of taking the throne, and no matter what happened, he wished to be a vassal king for the rest of his life and assist the prime minister.Finally, I implore us to put filial piety first and not to question the Queen Mother.

Because Heidan's condition has not improved for a long time, he can't worry too much when he is ill. I kept the whole matter from Heidan, so I opened the letter by myself, and carefully put it in a box after reading it.Immediately, a secret decree was issued to block the Qingning Palace and put the Queen Mother under house arrest.After thinking about it for a while, he said to Fan Jin: "Send Mrs. Hu to Qingning Palace too, to be with the Empress Dowager. Qi Zhen brings her here, and Qi Yu... Forget it, live with Jinju."

Fan Jin was assigned to me as my personal eunuch by Heidan very early on, and he has followed me closely for more than ten years. Naturally, my words are equivalent to imperial edicts to him, and he will carry them out without saying a word.However, Fan Hong was hesitant to say something.

I said: "Fan Daban, I will not harm his mother and son. Everything is for the overall situation and His Majesty's health. If you are worried, I will leave it to you to take care of the Empress Dowager."

"Slaves will obey Yi's orders."

"In addition, from Emperor Gao to Emperor Father, the princes who have been entrusted by the three generations have all been arranged by Jin Yiwei to keep an eye on them. It is not necessary for the county king and below, but we must not relax. We must guard against collusion between princes."

"The slaves obey."

Fan Jin personally went to pick up Qi Zhen, but Qi Zhen looked at me strangely.Three points of indifference, three points of suspicion, three points of pain, and even one point of hatred.

In just six or seven days, things changed.

I know why.

I said: "Perhaps in your heart, mother has long been a person with no credibility and no morals. You may not believe what mother says, but mother still wants to say--mother will not harm your father, mother does not want to usurp power, mother This time, the Queen Mother and Immortal Master Jingci will not be harmed."

Mother made a fuss about your life experience at the beginning, all in order to let you avoid the battle of the civil castle, avoid the shame of being captured and the eternal infamy.However, I am afraid that I will never be able to tell him this confession in this life.

He didn't speak.He was a gentle boy and couldn't say hurtful words, so he just saluted and walked away silently.

I sat alone at the table and wept for a while, not daring to cry too hard, so I hurriedly wiped away the tears, and when I couldn't see the traces in the mirror, I went back to Heidan and guarded him.

It's been eight full days.During these eight days, he didn't wake up much.

In the morning, I was woken up by the biological clock for many years, watched me and Qi Yu go to court, and then closed my eyes and waited for me to come back.When I came back, I opened my eyes and couldn't say a few words, then I felt dizzy, chest tight, my face was pale, and sometimes I couldn't breathe, so Qin Qian came to give the acupuncture.Use some porridge and soup for breakfast, and take medicine after meal.The medicine has the effect of dredging blood and relieving asthma, but the disadvantage is that it makes people drowsy, so he fell asleep for most of the day.Finally, there were a few moments of peace at night, but I had to review the memorial, so I didn't have time to spend more time with him.

Sometimes when I see him sleeping there, so quiet, I will be afraid, afraid that he will leave without my knowing, and I will want to wake him up and tell him to talk to me.At this time, in his dream, he grunts softly, snorts, or breathes a little harder, which is the greatest comfort to me.

For eight days, internally and externally, I suffered from extreme fear, tension, and exhaustion. The entire palace was pressed on top of my head. Anyone in this palace could fall, except me.What is more distressing, however, is that I see absolutely no signs of his recovery.

Heidan handed over the greatest power in the world to me, but the power to decide the life limit is not included in it.Above the monarchy, there is also the impermanence of destiny.

Another day passed.On the ninth night, when I finished grading papers, he was already asleep.

I took off my shoes and socks, climbed onto the bed lightly, and kissed his forehead lightly before going to bed, and heard him laugh softly: "Ruowei."

Being caught by him, I blushed in the dark and said angrily, "Pretending to be asleep, lying."

"You woke up the kiss, and you relied on me to pretend to be asleep." He smiled weakly and said, "It's fortunate that you woke up, otherwise how would you know that falling asleep early would be such a good thing."

"Don't be poor," I said with a smile, "Go to sleep."

I'm afraid that he will mention my ten-day agreement with him.I am afraid that he will insist on continuing to deal with the government affairs after tomorrow, and eventually he will devote himself to everything like in history and abandon me and my children.

But he suddenly said: "Ruowei, you have done very well these days. If you want, just keep doing this."

I happily said, "Do you feel better today?"

He shook his head: "I think, just looking at you like this, helping Qi Yu to sit on the throne step by step, I can walk with a lot of peace of mind. It's better than me coming out again, and then there are twists and turns—" I covered him mouth, tears hit the back of my hand and his cheek drop by drop.

"You don't like to hear it, so I won't talk about it." He took my hand and slowly pulled it down: "I liked you when I was young, and I always wanted to grow up and marry you, and make you laugh all day long. Finally, I finally got Growing up, you married me, how many tears did you lose along the way."

He raised his hand to wipe my tears, stared at my eyebrows in the shadows, and said with a smile: "The first time I saw you at that time, I thought 'hey! This little girl is so beautiful'. The eyebrows and eyes are on my heart, which is just right for me. Heart." It made me cry, neither laugh nor cry, I wanted to beat him, but I was afraid of hurting him seriously.Seeing me like this, he smiled softly and said, "You haven't mentioned it in so many years. When you saw me for the first time, what was in your heart?"

One sentence brought me back to the cool early spring in the eighth year of Yongle.

In the back garden of the East Palace, in the plum blossom forest, there was that awkward, awkward little boy.

I wiped my tears with the back of my hand and said with a smile: "That spring, when I first met you, I secretly nicknamed you 'Black Dan'."

He burst out laughing, as if he had been choked, coughed a few times, and said with a panting smile, "Good shit...hey, isn't that the puppy's name! No wonder you called 'Black' in your sleep Egg', Sun Ruowei, you..."

I laughed and said, "At that time, I thought to myself, my parents are so white, how did you give birth to such a black sweet potato egg? I named you 'Black Egg'."

"You are really... bold." He smiled, "Who else knows this embarrassing name?"

I shook my head: "Only I know. I secretly screamed in my heart."

"Such a silly name, after so many years, I'm not tired of it? You won't give me a better one?"

"The more you call, the easier it is to say. No matter how you call it, you won't get tired of it. It means I like you." I said.

Hearing this, tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes, he closed his eyes hard, and said with trembling lips, "Ruowei, everyone is mortal, I'm not afraid, but I'm really worried about you... I know that with your intelligence, you can Suppressing the front and rear palaces, but when I think of leaving you alone in this palace, I would rather be the one who leaves first, instead of me living a lonely and desolate life like the emperor's grandfather..."

I couldn't hold back my tears any longer, and choked up: "Then you can live well and don't leave me. Heidan, don't leave me..."

He hugged me gently, and his big hands gently stroked my back like coaxing a child to sleep. I gradually released my tiredness and gradually became sleepy in his warm arms.Suddenly he couldn't breathe, his breath was disordered, and he was panting heavily with his mouth open, but it seemed like he couldn't breathe enough oxygen.I was so frightened that I went crazy, all my rationality was wiped out, I sat up and yelled without hesitation: "Come on, save me, Imperial Physician Xuan, come on, come on! Your Majesty, Zhanji, Heidan, Your Majesty..."

Fan Jinfei ran out, while Xiao Lian brought someone in to hold the lamp and came to see Heidan's situation.I saw him frowning, even wrinkling his nose, showing a painful expression, lying on the bed twisted into a painful posture.I frantically touched his chest and shoulders, trying to comfort him, but he struggled to hold my wrist with one hand, and raised the other hand as if exhausting his last strength in this life.I heard him say angrily: "Don't cry, don't be afraid... Ruowei, don't be afraid..."

The hand stayed warm on my cheek for a moment, then slipped away.
