Your majesty, please stay in the cold palace

The queen mother walked in slowly, holding the hand of the old mother Yulan, and there were already people kneeling on the ground in the yard.

Guo Heng bowed and said, "Queen Mother, it's so cold, why are you here?"

The Empress Dowager glanced at Guo Heng, Yan Shi and the others, and said lightly: "Get up! Why are you standing outside in this cold day? Where is Concubine Ning? This is her place, her Why is the host not here? Ai's family is here, but she doesn't come out to greet her?"

As she spoke, she slowly walked up the steps of Ninghe Palace.

Yan hurriedly followed her and chuckled, "Queen Mother, Concubine Ning Gui, she is ill again! The concubine guesses that Concubine Ning Gui is not acclimatized to us in Daliang, or is she in conflict with our Daliang harem, why is she sick all day long?" What about it? However, when we didn't come, she didn't get sick. I heard she left the palace in low clothes?"

The Empress Dowager asked suspiciously: "Leaving the palace in a micro-clothes? Is what the Empress said true?"

Yan curled her lips, "How dare the concubine lie? Zhongxin said that he saw the imperial concubine returning to the palace in casual clothes, and even flirted with Confucius. Unfortunately, the emperor doesn't believe it."

The queen mother sat down on the chair in the main hall, her face sank, "Your Majesty, what's going on?"

Kong Qingping also followed into the hall, took a step forward, and stood up, "Queen Mother, that's just a joke with the imperial concubine. I want to see the imperial concubine wearing men's clothes, but the imperial concubine can't resist, so I agree with the minister." .”

The Empress Dowager raised her eyebrows, "You are a foreign minister, you come and go in and out of the palace all day long, it's fine if you don't shy away from it, why are you still confused with the imperial concubine? How decent is it?"

Kong Qingping smiled lightly, "I entered the palace at the behest of the old concubine Yi. After so many years, has there ever been a step in the wrong direction? Besides, the emperor's brother was there that day, did I have any trouble with the imperial concubine? Clear, the emperor knows best."

Kong Qingping moved Old Concubine Yi out, and the Queen Mother had nothing to say.Old Concubine Yi's status is too high to be shaken by her.She could only look at Guo Heng, "Your Majesty, even if you are close to Qingping, you have to be modest."

"Queen Mother, I grew up with Qingping and know him very well. He is just a bit stubborn, and his conduct is absolutely fine.

I?

Guo Heng was worried about Adele's body, so he didn't have the time to chat with the queen mother and queen here.

He said lightly: "Queen Mother, the imperial concubine is ill and cannot welcome you, please forgive me. Since the empress is pregnant, she should take good care of her. The imperial concubine is sick all day long, and the Ninghe Palace may not be clean , don’t give her the sickness.”

"What? Queen, are you happy?"

The queen mother looked at the queen in surprise, her expression did not seem to be fake.

The queen lowered her head as if embarrassed, and her voice was low, but the joy and pride in it could not be concealed.

"Yes. Empress Dowager, it's only been two months, and the concubine has not had time to report to the Empress Dowager."

Guo Heng kept looking at Yan's expression, hoping to see some clues, but the queen's face could not be seen other than excitement and complacency.Is she really pregnant?Guo Heng always felt that things were not that simple.

However, now is not the time to ponder this matter, whether it is true or not, there are still several months anyway!

He said patiently: "Queen Mother, Concubine Ning Gui is indeed ill, and she is seriously ill. Qi Yunshan is treating her in the back room. If you don't believe me, you can go in and have a look, or ask Qi Yunshan to ask."

The Empress Dowager's face darkened, "Heng'er, you said the concubine was ill, even if the Ai family didn't believe her, they would believe you. It's just that the Ai family just heard that the concubine colluded with outsiders and sent troops from Nanjiang to attack Daliang. What's going on? ?”

Guo Heng took a deep breath and tried his best to speak calmly, "Queen Dowager, I will do my best for the affairs of the court, and I dare not worry about the Queen Mother. Besides, the harem must not interfere with the government. As the Queen Mother, you must set an example. I am still investigating the matter, and if there is a result, I will naturally announce it to the world."

The Empress Dowager was silenced by Guo Heng, and in the end she could only say: "You are the emperor, but you can't act recklessly. There is a grand master in the court. After all, he is an old man in the court. You should discuss everything with him more. Listen to his opinion."

Qi Yunshan didn't come out, Guo Heng was getting impatient.

"Yes. My child knows. It's getting late, empress, take the empress dowager back to the palace for me! Jiang Dapeng, remember what I said, and protect the empress well."

Jiang Dapeng immediately said yes.

The Empress Dowager looked at Guo Heng's face, and knew that the child had grown up and had his own thoughts, and he no longer valued his own words so much, but there was nothing he could do about it.She returned the government to him, and she knew that this day would come sooner or later.It's a pity that Chun'er doesn't live up to expectations, and Guo Heng doesn't like her very much, but fortunately she is finally pregnant.

She stood up slowly, and said slowly: "Then Ai's family will go back. I hope the emperor will take good care of the concubine's affairs, and don't let others talk about it."

gossip. "

As soon as the Queen Mother left, Guo Heng rushed into Adele's bedroom.

I saw Qi Yunshan's face was covered with sweat, and he was pulling out the last silver needle from Adele's wrist.And A-Lian knelt beside the bed, weeping silently.

He walked up a few steps and saw Adele lying on the bed, her face was pale, her eyes were closed, her lips were blue and she was motionless, as if she was lifeless.

His heart tightened, he sat on the edge of the bed, and grabbed Adele's outer wrist.It was cold in the hands, as if there was no temperature.When he held it, he was surprised, this wrist is so thin!His thumb and middle finger are closed together, and there is still some space.

Guo Heng put her hand down carefully, put his fingers on her wrist, and carefully felt her pulse.After a while, he was relieved, her heart was still beating.

At this time, he only asked.

"Physician Qi, how is she, how is she?"

As soon as he spoke, his voice was hoarse.

Qi Yunshan didn't care to wipe the sweat off his face, turned around and knelt down.

"Your Majesty, the imperial concubine's illness..." He sighed, "The old minister can only do his best."

"what!"

Guo Heng's body swayed, and was supported by Shui Yun who was following him.

Guo Heng knew that Adela hadn't recovered from her serious illness and had been outside in the cold for a long time.But when he really heard Qi Yunshan say that, he still couldn't take the blow.

Guo Heng closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said: "Physician Qi, as long as you can cure the concubine's illness, just tell me what you need."

From the time Concubine Ning was injured when she entered the palace, every time she fell ill, Qi Yunshan treated her.He knew the emperor's deep affection for her.

He sighed deeply, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine has not recovered from her old illness, and today she has caused a cold evil to enter her body. It is really difficult. I just used silver needles to help her get rid of part of the cold air, strengthen her body, and restore her health." It is necessary to use the prescription of dispelling the cold and warming the middle, strengthening the yang and cultivating the vitality. If the empress can survive these two days, there is still hope, if not...the old minister is helpless."

Guo Heng's eyes were hot, and he felt like a knife was twisting his heart.His mother left early, he was still young at that time, and he didn't know what grief was.He was only ten years old when his father left, and even though he was sad, he forgot after so many years.But at this moment, he really felt the grief and powerlessness.

However, as long as there is still a glimmer of hope, he cannot give up.

When he spoke again, Guo Heng had already calmed down a lot.

"Emperor Qi, no matter what, please do your best. If you need any medicine, just go to the imperial pharmacy to get it. Let's do our best and obey the destiny!"

Qi Yunshan is old, he has been practicing medicine in the palace for decades, and he is used to the emperor being ruthless.Seeing Guo Heng like this at this time, I was moved in my heart, "Old minister obeys the order! The old minister will go and prescribe the medicine."

Guo Heng nodded, but his eyes fell on Adele.I saw her frowning slightly, as if enduring unspeakable pain

So what if he is the emperor?He couldn't even protect the woman he liked, and couldn't alleviate her pain.

He said hoarsely: "Shuiyun, ask Jiang Dapeng to release Yi Na and let her serve the princess."

"say,,

疋.

After hearing this, A-Lian burst into tears.Did the emperor think that the princess was hopeless and let Yi Na come to see the princess for the last time?

Shui Yun took a look at her, and couldn't help tugging on her sleeve quietly.

A-Lian looked at him blankly, Shuiyun sighed secretly when he saw her sluggish look, and couldn't bear to criticize her harshly.

He whispered: "Miss A-Lian, this is not the time for you to be sad. The princess knelt outside for a long time without changing her clothes, right? Also, do you want to prepare some nourishing soup? What if the empress wakes up?" Come, don't go hungry."

Alian suddenly came back to her senses, Shuiyun was right, now is not the time for her to be sad.But seeing the princess lying on the bed, he hesitated again.

Shuiyun saw Alian's hesitation, "You, don't worry about the princess, just stay here and let others do other things. The princess's illness will not be cured in a day or two. When Miss Ina comes back later, you can discuss it carefully. If

What is missing, what do you want, just come to Zajia. "

A-Lian thanked Shui Yun gratefully, "A-Lian thanked Eunuch Shui on behalf of our master."

Shuiyun hurriedly went to find Jiang Dapeng.He knew that Concubine Ning was ill, and the emperor would definitely stay in Ninghe Palace, and he still had to give good instructions and bring Yi Na back by the way.

When Yi Na came back, she saw Xu Chengze's half-dead look, and looked at Guo Heng angrily.

"Why did the princess become like this? Your majesty, you are the king of a country, and you can't even protect your own woman?" Faced with Yina's accusation, Guo Heng was speechless.As for Adele's life and death, he couldn't bear to blame her for contradicting her.

Shuiyun pulled Yi Na out of the door, and said in a deep voice, "He is the emperor! You dare to talk to him like that, you don't want to die

?,,

Yi Na said coldly: "The princess is gone, what do the slaves want?"

Shui Yun sighed, this servant and two masters are really a perfect match.

Guo Heng didn't have the heart to be angry with Yi Na at all, looking at Adele who was still not angry, he just felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

He stood up, walked out of the bedroom, opened the door, a gust of cold wind hit, Guo Heng shivered.I saw a piece of white in the yard. I didn't know when the snow had already fallen.

"Your Majesty, it's cold outside, put on your clothes quickly."

Guo Heng did not refuse, the state affairs were heavy, and Adela was ill again, so he must not be ill at this time.But just standing at the door for a moment, the cold wind blows through several layers of his clothes, making him shiver from the cold, and thinking about Adela kneeling in the cold wind for a long time in only her underwear, his heart is pounding. sink down.

A-Lian walked in cautiously carrying a bowl of steaming hot soup.

Guo Heng knew it was for Adele, so he followed Alian into it unconsciously.
