What about Mr. Faint?

The queen mother was ill, and her cough became more and more serious. When she woke up at night, she could occasionally see black blood coughed up.But Gu couldn't do anything, he could only pat his mother on the back, trying to make her breathing easier, trying to warm her up on this cold winter night.

But it was useless, no matter how much Gu acted coquettishly at the people outside the door, no matter how much Gu threatened and threatened, no one responded to Gu, and no one followed Gu's request to bring charcoal to this gloomy hall. Add a touch of temperature.

For the first time in my life, acting like a baby lost its due effect. In the past, I just stood there alone and looked at them, and the adults would smile and give in.As long as they are called by their names, it doesn't matter even if they are not allowed to call their official positions or names, no one will reject them, let alone neglect them.

But now, not to mention meeting Gu's requirements, even talking to Gu has become extremely difficult.They turn a blind eye to Gu's acting like a baby, and it becomes difficult even to step over that threshold.If Gu insisted on rushing out, what he would get was a horizontal kick, and his body would be bruised for a long time.

It doesn't matter if the orphan is injured, but the queen's illness is getting worse.She did not wake up during the day, and in the small room, she could only sit alone in front of her. All she could do was take some water from the well in the backyard, wet it with her clothes, and cover her forehead until it was warm. The heat is replaced with another piece, and the cycle repeats over and over again.

Just like what she did in the past when she was sick alone, but it still didn't work.

Gu began to miss those days when his father and mother were still in love, when sister was still there, and so were the servants in the yard.As long as Gu wakes up from the couch, someone will come in from outside the house and ask Gu what he needs.Occasionally, they would bring up things that Gu might need without asking.

Father finally came, with bloodshot eyes and black eyes, he pushed the door open and entered.At that time, Guzheng imitated his mother's appearance and sat on the threshold. When he saw his father pushing the door open, he gave a cheer. He jumped up and stepped on the snow to rush towards his father. He hugged his thigh and shouted: "Father!" , Gu thought you would not be lonely anymore."

The royal father stopped, his hand stroked Gu's head, then bent down to hug Gu, and continued walking towards the desolate hut.Behind him was an imperial physician who was very familiar with Gu, who must have come to treat the mother's illness: "The mother has been ill for a long time, what did the father do, why did he come?"

The loud noises also failed to wake up the queen mother. She lay there with her eyes closed, and her exhaled breath filled the air with white smoke.

The father stood at the door and looked at the queen mother lying there, and put the orphan on the ground.The eunuch behind him took a copper-colored iron basin from nowhere, drew water from the well in the courtyard, and put the copper basin with water on the only table in the room.

Then the father grabbed Gu's hand, and pulled Gu to stand in front of the copper basin: "Prince," the smile on his face was a bit bitter, "You love father, right? Like a son , love your father."

It is very strange to say this: "Father?"

Without answering, the father just raised his hand and pressed Gu's forehead, and then, like every time he heard that Gu caused trouble in the past, he was helpless but indulged: "Good boy." With that said, he pulled Gu's hand upwards, I only felt a pain in the palm of my hand, and after the pain passed, the feeling of numbness instantly covered the entire palm of my left hand.

"Wow--"

Very wronged, because I was hurt by my father.The imperial physician standing aside hurried forward, took the palm of his lonely hand and applied the medicine, then wrapped it with plain white gauze, and finally closed it with an inconspicuous button.The pain is only a momentary thing, the grievance is that the father hurt the orphan with his own hands, and the grievance is the experience of these days.

But the crying that was invincible in the past has lost its effect like being coquettish. The father did not squat down to hug Gu, nor did he comfort Gu. He seemed to have not seen Gu's movements, but just stood there holding the dagger, looking at the bright red blood on it. Drop by drop all fell into the basin, as if in meditation.

The teardrops are even more uncontrollable, because there is no comfort, because of the lost comfort.

Amidst the weeping, the queen mother's voice came from behind: "What is your majesty doing?" With a cough, "Is your majesty questioning this palace, can you steal a man in this heavily guarded palace?"

Father sneered, casually wiped the dagger that was still stained red with his sleeve, and then slashed at his finger.He held up his index finger, looking down at the copper basin on the table, watching his own blood drop drop by drop in the basin, then he turned to look at the mother, raised his hand——

"Dangdang!"

— overturned the copper basin.

He looked at the queen mother who had just lifted herself up, and he didn't give alms to the orphan at all.And the queen mother, slowly supported her body and sat up, slapped away Gu's movement of wanting to help, and let Gu just sit on the cold ground, looking at her in panic.

"Your Majesty understands now?"

These words seemed to irritate the father, he strode forward and grabbed the mother's chin, and pinched her violently: "Bitch," the father became very scary when he narrowed his eyes , "Why are you still lying to me? Who does this bastard belong to?"

bastard?

"Whose bastard is this?" The queen mother coughed and laughed, "Who does your majesty think this bastard is?"

bastard?

"It's the owner of that painting, right?" Father turned his head to look at Gu, his eyes were terrifying, but just a casual glance made Gu feel cold all over his body.Father Huang Gu has never seen such a father, cold, sharp, and full of murderous intent, the eyes looking at Gu are not as soft as when he was approving memorials in the past.

What's going on?

"Who knows, maybe it belongs to some eunuch." At this time, the queen mother laughed, "Maybe it is a dog raised by this palace? Your majesty also knows that this palace raised several wild dogs back then. ah--"

The queen mother couldn't finish her words, the father threw the queen mother to the ground, turned around and waved his sleeves to go outside.

But within two steps, the queen mother grabbed him.Or it could be said that the Empress Dowager's strength came from nowhere, she threw herself forward, hugged her father's leg, hugged her tightly, and tears fell down, but in just one breath, her father was soaked. The golden dragon robe also stained her plain white underwear.

"Your Majesty, is the friendship between my concubine and you for so many years worthless?" She hugged her father's leg, "You saw this concubine send it out of the concubine's delivery room with your own eyes, and you brought it up with your own hands. His writing has your demeanor, his speech has your appearance, he is your child!"

The father was unmoved, he tried to kick the queen away with his legs, but it was in vain.

Sitting alone on the ground, staring blankly at such a heartless father and queen mother.

"Your Majesty, this is the only child of this concubine, this is your crown prince—" the queen mother cried, even if she was kicked away, she would rush forward again, her hair was loose on the plain white clothes, "Take a look, the prince is still young this year, he doesn't know anything, Your Majesty! The child is innocent, Your Majesty!"

"With a mother like you," the emperor waved his hand, and then the palace servants he brought stepped forward and pulled away the queen mother, "I believe that when he grows up, he will not be a kind person." "The voice was indifferent, "Is it my seed? There is still a debate. I have eight sons, and there is no shortage of such a wild seed."

The queen mother was stunned, she looked straight at the father, and then her movements became more violent, and even her long nails drew a deep bloodstain on the face of one of the eunuchs.Even so, she did not give up on rushing forward, nor did she give up on touching her father.

Sitting alone on the ground, looking at the queen mother, she took out a dagger out of nowhere, slashed across the eunuch who tried to subdue her but was scratched in the face by her, and slashed across another eunuch who subconsciously escaped. The eunuch rushed forward like crazy, with a smile on his face that Gu had never seen before.

Before everyone could react, he stabbed the father with a knife, then pulled it out forcefully, and stabbed the second knife.But before he could pull it out, he was crushed to the ground by a man in black who appeared from an unknown corner, his arms were folded behind his back, and he stepped on the ground.

What caught my ears was the mother's crazy laughter and the anxious voice of the imperial physician.

"You destroyed my whole family, killed my elder brother and family brother, and forced away my sweetheart, this is revenge!" The queen mother laughed, tears streaming down her face, "Your Majesty, this is the beginning of your retribution, and there will always be an end!" One day you will become a lonely family, your son, your woman will be as cold and heartless as you!"

The crazy laughter became louder and louder: "When you die, you will be as unwilling as me, and as desperate as me. The ending I met today is your future," the queen mother's eyes widened. , the brown pupils stared at the emperor motionless, "You will be alone too, and you will not die well!"

"Shut up, shut up!" The imperial doctor covered the bloody incision on the father's body, but the father's injury didn't seem serious, and he could still speak, "Shut up, poisonous woman!" He sat there leaning on his big The eunuch pointed at the queen mother tremblingly, "You still have a son, don't forget, you still have a son!"

"What you don't even want, do you think this lady will want it?" The queen mother smiled happily. I have never seen such a bright smile on the queen mother. It looks like flowers blooming in spring, but it is more beautiful than the flowers blooming in the imperial garden. , "Just treat it as a piece of flesh bitten off by a wild dog on Miss Ben, don't feel bad."

Smiling and laughing, blood gushed out of her mouth, and before other people came forward, the queen mother stared at her father and stopped moving.

Gu heard the noisy voices outside the courtyard, and another eunuch rushed into the room in a hurry. They put the father on a sedan chair they hadn't seen before, and hurriedly carried it out.The people who pressed the queen mother disappeared at some point, so they let the queen mother lie there, with straight eyes, watching the direction of the father's departure without blinking.

And the father didn't look back, he lay on the sedan chair, left the room, and left the courtyard.

No one paid attention to Gu, and Gu stumbled forward to chase the figure of his father, but when he was about to pass the courtyard, he was kicked back into the small courtyard.When he turned over and wanted to chase again, the dilapidated crimson door with a bit of paint peeling off slowly closed in front of Gu's face, with an ear-piercing sound, slowly closing.

Sitting alone in the snow, looking at the messy footprints around, looking at the empty small yard, I suddenly realized that from today onwards, there will be only one person left in this world.The queen mother left with the damaged picture scroll, and the emperor father also left with the queen mother's knife. Now, there is only one person left.

The so-called acting like a baby, the so-called crying, from today onwards, they are nothing.No more valuable than charcoal fire in summer, nor rarer than crushed ice in winter.But even if it's worthless, even if it's not rare, the tiny teardrops still can't help but drip down, and I just want to give this crystal clear pearl to anyone, anyone is good, anyone can.

Limping towards the closed door, he raised his hand to pull the bolt on the door. In the middle of the three-finger-wide crack, there was a black copper lock. As the wooden door shook, it made a dull crashing sound.It dragged the door, and could no longer open a wider distance, and even blocked the door from being pushed open.

Looking back, the queen mother was lying there, a pair of brown eyes staring straight at Gu, and would never close them again.
