The southern tour team traveled swiftly all the way and returned to the capital in the starry night.

Kangxi's chariots and horses went straight into the Forbidden City.

Those who greeted everyone were the noble concubine Niu Gulu and a group of concubines.It's just that Kangxi didn't have the heart to talk to them at the moment, so he just waved and shouted, and hurried to the Palace of Compassion with Tonghuang Guifei, Huifei, Yinzhi and Yinzhen.

The Compassion Ning Palace was very quiet.

Surprisingly, most of the palace people did not serve inside, but stood outside the door, and knelt down on the ground when they saw the emperor arriving.

Kangxi was full of anger.

Seeing this, he was naturally furious. Seeing that he was about to lose his temper, just as Prince Yinreng heard the sound, he pushed the door out: "Ama Khan!? My son, send greetings to Ama Khan!"

The prince, whom I haven't seen for half a year, has grown taller but also lost weight.

His cheekbones were prominent, his cheeks were sunken, and the deep black under his eyes made Kangxi even frightened when he looked at him.He held Yinfeng's wrist tightly: "You child, why are you so tired?"

Prince Yinreng shook his head: "My son is fine."

He glanced at the panic-stricken palace people around him, and coughed: "Ama Khan, there is a reason for these palace people to be outside... You will know the details after seeing Ukumama."

Kangxi was suspicious.

He stepped up and walked in, the strong medicine smell in the Compassionate Ning Palace made people breathless.Kangxi's heart was heavy and his pace became faster and faster. He lifted the curtain and looked anxiously at the bed.

Kangxi's expression froze after only one glance.

For a moment he thought he was seeing a stranger.The Empress Dowager, who was wrapped in the Dafu brocade quilt, had gray temples, a sallow complexion, was old and thin, and exuded an indescribable aura.

All of Kangxi's voices were stuck in his throat.

It was a long time before he sobbed: "Mama Huang...Mama Huang!"

Kangxi regretted it.

It would be great if I came back earlier... It seemed that the Empress Dowager had noticed something, she struggled and stretched out her hand to gently caress Kangxi's cheek: "..."

"Emperor Mama?" Kangxi shouted in surprise.

"Fulin? Is Fulin back? Fulin... Fulin from Aijia..."

Kangxi froze in place.

The empress dowager was still crying, but the prince Yinreng quickly called out the palace servants and said softly: "Since half a month ago, Mama Ukuma... has been like this."

Just waking up is crying to see the first emperor.

The empress dowager vented her full of resentment and regret, and many things she said during the period... Well, none of them can be passed on.Except for Su Mala and a few Mongolian nuns, Yinfeng had to ask the rest of the palace to retreat when the Empress Dowager was sober.

Kangxi was silent for a while.

Decades have passed at the latest for these things, so what else is there to hide?Kangxi didn't take it seriously, but instead nagged Yinfeng: "You are exhausting yourself for being a servant!"

Yinfeng forced a smile.

He said softly: "It's my grandson praying for Mama Ukuma."

Speaking of praying for Kangxi, he stopped talking.

He silently walked to the empress dowager's bedside, took the empress dowager's skinny wrist, and tried to comfort her to sleep again.

But the empress dowager stared not far away with her eyes wide open.

How can her demented, crazy and silly appearance have the dense and deep-minded appearance of her past?Kangxi was saddened from his heart, and couldn't help shouting in pain: "Mama Huang, Mama Huang!"

The empress dowager regarded the emperor as air.

Her eyes fell straight into the distance, Yinzhen looked back along her gaze, and suddenly found a soul standing beside her at some point.

... There are still dead souls in the Forbidden City that he doesn't know about?

Yinzhen stared blankly at the person in front of him - he looked only in his early 20s, handsome and thin, with deep eyes silently watching the Empress Dowager, his apricot-yellow robe showed his identity.

Khan Mafa...?

No wonder I didn't see it when I went to Xiaoling, so he didn't leave at all?These thoughts flashed by, and what Yinzhen cared more about was the way Khan Mafa stared at Ukumama.

Maybe he was the reason why the empress dowager apologized so hard.

Empress Renxiao also poked her head out, Fulin's soul didn't even look at them, but just watched the Empress Dowager silently.

No sound and no movement.

Just stood there quietly.

Yinzhen's heart skipped a beat.

He had a guess, and soon Yinzhen plucked up the courage to take two steps forward, but Concubine Tong Huanggui wanted to hold him back but was bypassed by Yinzhen.

Yinzhen went all the way to the Empress Dowager's side.

Under Kangxi's astonished gaze, he stretched out his hand to hold the Empress Dowager: "Ukumama, Khan Mafa didn't blame you, he... just worried about you."

There was no resentment in those eyes, no anger.

Only the pain of the Son of Man's helplessness for his seriously ill mother.

The Empress Dowager's body froze.

The muddy eyes seemed to become clear in an instant, tears fell down, and she called out in a low voice: "Fulin is worried about... Aijia? Is Fulin worried... Aijia? Fulin... Erniang's Fulin..."

In the last period of life.

The empress dowager who once held power and acted resolutely was just an ordinary old mother.Yinzhen's words were like the last straw, pulling back the spirit of the Empress Dowager, she gradually calmed down and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Kangxi was silent.

He looked at where Yinzhen and the Empress Dowager were looking for a long time, and couldn't help saying softly: "Yinzhen, what did you see...?"

Yinzhen observed carefully.

He commented slowly: "In his early 20s, in an apricot-yellow robe, with a... a blessing bag embroidered with two wild ducks? on his waist, and a purple makeup box."

Kangxi sighed, and interrupted Yinzhen's words: "That's not a wild duck, it's a mandarin duck. That's not a makeup box...but" a lock of Empress Xiaoxian's hair.

Kangxi's voice stopped abruptly.

He didn't choose to say the rest of the words, but hesitated for a while and told Yinzhen: "Yinzhen will live in the Palace of Compassion for the time being... have a good talk with Ukumama."

Yinzhen nodded: "My son will take good care of Mama Ukuma."

The half-grown fourth elder brother put on the posture of an adult, and I am afraid that he would make a lot of people laugh on weekdays.Looking at the terminally ill Empress Dowager, the corners of Kangxi's lips curled up reluctantly and then sank again. He patted Yinzhen's shoulder lightly, and then he left the bedroom with a heavy heart.

A string of imperial physicians followed the emperor.

Not half an hour later, Kangxi came in again, and Yinzhen, who was sitting by the bed, saw the pain and tiredness in Han Ama's eyes, and his heart sank to the bottom: "Khan Ama...Chang Yuyi, What did Imperial Physician Chang say?"

Kangxi's nose was sour.

He wanted to say it but couldn't, tears streaming down his cheeks.

The development of Tai Hospital is indeed rapid.

Facing the rapidly dilapidated body of the Empress Dowager, the imperial doctors shook their heads one after another.

The fate of the Empress Dowager has arrived.

The imperial physician Chang Yu of the Taiyuan Hospital answered every word with trembling voice against the emperor's comfort.

Yinzhen blinked.

Tears filled the eyes, and they shook slightly.

Kangxi closed his eyes.

Infinite remorse welled up from the bottom of his heart and swept through his limbs. He gasped for breath, and only after a while did he softly say: "I order... let eldest brother return to Beijing."

Yinzhen whimpered.

He was afraid that his crying would wake up the Empress Dowager, so he stumbled and ran outside, trying to find a deserted corner to vent his emotions.But just as he lifted the curtain and left, Yinzhen suddenly stopped and stared blankly at the place where the dead soul was just now.

That's not Revenant.

Just a ray of obsession.

Watching Khan Mafa's obsession dissipate like smoke under the collision, Yinzhen's heart became heavier.He silently walked towards the uninhabited backyard of the Compassionate Ning Palace, trying to find a place to calm down, but as soon as he stepped in, he heard a burst of sobbing and sobbing.

The voice was a little familiar.

Yinzhen walked to the back room following the sound, and walked in along the path.After a while, he saw a small figure curled up in a corner, the other's shoulders were shaking, and the crying was intermittent.

"...Yinqi?"

"...fourth brother?" The crying stopped, and the figure turned around, it was the fifth elder brother Yinqi who hadn't seen him for half a year.

His eyes were red from crying.

Yin Qi hurriedly wiped his eyes, then stood up again: "I'm—I'm not—I—"

His voice stopped abruptly.

Yinzhen took two steps forward and hugged Yinqi tightly.The stranger whom he hadn't seen for more than half a year dissipated under the shadow of the Empress Dowager's serious illness. Yinqi hugged Yinzhen tightly and cried loudly: "Fourth brother... Mama Uku will not die, right? I still want to give Uku Mama builds a greenhouse, and wants her to see many flowers in winter... I also want to take Mamo Uku to go out with me when I grow up, to see the outside world...I think, I want... "

Why is nothing happening yet?

Why don't you try harder yourself?If...if I work harder!Yinqi wept bitterly, and for the first time spurned himself who was struggling with the system.

Yinzhen felt a dull pain in his heart.

The Empress Dowager is like a sea god needle standing firmly behind everyone. Whenever there is a need, you can always see her existence when you look back. Maybe you don’t think she is very important, only when you are about to lose it. Understand how important she is to me.

Khan Mafa is just a ray of obsession.

Let's keep this matter as the last secret.Yinzhen closed his eyes, and gently patted Fifth Brother's back: "...it will definitely get better."

The end of the 26th year of Kangxi was extremely deserted.

The entire palace was so clean, not to mention any decorations, and even the New Year temple fairs and activities in the capital were all suspended.

Everything shows that the time of the Empress Dowager is numbered.

After Yinzhen's words, although the Empress Dowager didn't cry and howl in delirium, she fell into a peaceful sleep, and there was no sign of waking up for several days.

Kangxi's eye sockets were bloodshot, and his chin was covered with livid stubble. At first glance, he thought he was more than ten years old.He called the crown prince to give instructions, and then announced: "I want to sacrifice to heaven and earth, and pray for the empress dowager."

Go to sacrifice to heaven in the cold winter months! ?

Prince Yinreng almost directly opened his mouth to stop Khan Ama's actions, but after seeing the determination and pain in Khan Ama's eyes, he had no choice but to prepare thick leather clothes, mats for food and charcoal fire, and prepare as well as possible Avoid Khan Ama getting tired.

There are still five days until New Year's Eve.

It was also the day of preparing to sacrifice to heaven, at midnight.

The eunuch of the Compassionate Ning Palace trotted to the front of the imperial court: "Eunuch Liang—Eunuch Liang! The Empress Dowager is awake! The Empress Dowager wants to see the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Liang Jiugong was shocked.

He woke up instantly from his drowsiness, and rushed into the Qianqing Palace to report to the emperor.Soon Kangxi, the crown prince, the prince and princess, and a group of concubines rushed into the Palace of Compassion.

It is a good thing that the empress dowager wakes up.

But looking at the clear-eyed Huang Mama, Kangxi burst into tears.

he knows.

This is the reflection of the empress dowager.

What the empress dowager said to Kangxi is unknown to everyone.

Following Daliu into the hall, seeing the exceptionally rosy-complexioned Ukuma Nurse Yinzhen's nose sore again, she couldn't help turning her face sideways.

The Empress Dowager took Prince Yinreng and gave him instructions for a long time.

Followed by Yinzhi, followed by Yinzhen, she stretched out her hand to touch Yinzhen's cheek and said softly, "Thank you."

Yinzhen's heart moved slightly.

Her own figure is reflected in her clear eyes—does Mama Ukuma know that she is lying?The Empress Dowager quickly averted her eyes and landed on Yin Qi who had been crying like a kitten.

"Mama Ukuma, I still have a lot... woo woo woo"

"Good boy—" The Empress Dowager touched Yinqi's face reluctantly: "Take your Empress Mama and Su Mala to have a look in the future, okay?"

Yin Qi was crying so hard it should be.

Then came other elder brothers and princesses, and finally the empress dowager whispered regretfully: "It would be great if... Baoqing was also there."

Yinzhen wiped the corners of his eyes.

He held the Empress Dowager's hand, choked up and whispered: "Ukuma Mama, big brother is amazing."

Yinzhi also echoed: "Yes."

The two chattered about the affairs of Fuzhou and Yinti's changes, and suddenly Yinzhen felt the Empress Dowager's hand slipping down.

His heart skipped a beat.

Yinzhen finally called out: "Wuku... Mama?"

His voice trembled.

Yinzhen didn't dare to look down until a low cry sounded behind him.

The cry quickly became louder, and then spread from the Palace of Compassion to Ning to every palace, as if the entire Forbidden City was soaked in tears, even God seemed to be weeping for the passing of the Empress Dowager, pattering down the ground. rain.

In the middle of the night on December 26th in the 25th year of Kangxi.

Surrounded by Kangxi and a group of older princesses, the 75-year-old Empress Dowager closed her eyes forever.
