Suddenly one day, just after the court, a palace official hurried over and whispered to Shui Lan, "The Regent, go and have a look, Your Majesty is not well!"

As soon as Shui Lan heard it, she cursed subconsciously: "It's full of nonsense, things that have no rules, your majesty is so blessed, what can be wrong?"

The palace man rubbed his hands, pursed his mouth and cried: "Your Majesty has worshiped the master before and practiced every day. It seems that he has achieved perfection and is about to become a Buddha."

As soon as Shui Lan heard this, she knew that things were not very good, and thought that she should avoid suspicion, so she ordered: "Send a letter to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and send the imperial doctors to the Palace of Lingbao, it's important!"

On the one hand, he ordered people to lock up all the monks and palace attendants, and interrogate them when the mother came back; first, he went to Lingbao Palace to have a look, but fortunately, Emperor Yongqing just passed away with anger, his face and lips were a little purple , After resting for a while, Su finally came over, and everyone was relieved.

Until the queen mother came over and took the imperial doctor to check the pulse in detail, she had a strange look on her face.Shui Lan didn't say anything when she saw through it, and the queen mother also noticed something, but she still had to endure her grief, holding Emperor Yongqing repeatedly with one hand and rubbing it repeatedly: "Emperor, although you are devout, you still have to proceed step by step. You can't rush until you have time." As he said that, he sent all the people who waited on him again, and asked the emperor about his diet and rest.

Shui Lan knew very well that it was a very difficult time, and it was good to do one step, so she went back to how to deal with the food.After listening to a few words, the queen mother said the word "Dian Dian" lightly, and then stood by Emperor Yongqing's side all the time, tears streaming down her cheeks.

Now that it's not appropriate to stay, Shui Lan rides back home first.When I got home, I was busy with the court affairs first, and then I was busy coming in to see Daiyu and Shuihan.The nanny was coaxing Shuihan to sleep, while Daiyu was doing work with the maids. When they saw him coming, the maids all retreated and looked at him with a smile and said, "Why are you back so early today?"

Shui Lan didn't say a word, she stood there and washed her hands first, then drank tea for a minute.Seeing that there was a change in his expression, Daiyu hurriedly got up to take the teacup, gently pulled him, and asked, "But what happened in the palace?"

Shui Lan sighed for a while, and then explained the situation just now in detail.After hearing this, Daiyu lowered her head and thought for a long while, then asked again in a barely audible voice: "The emperor is now like this, how can you..."

Before he finished speaking, Shui Lan shook his head and said solemnly: "Although I have other intentions, I will never do such a thing myself. No matter what, he is my nephew after all."

Daiyu raised her head and glanced at the opposite side, seeing that Shuilan's face was quite sad, she felt uncomfortable.She changed her mind and thought again, it has been ten years since the two of them walked this way, and they have experienced countless life and death.

Shui Lan had other things in mind, although she went in and out to deal with business as usual these days, after all, Daiyu was no better than others, she could see the clue from the eyes of her eyebrows, it was inevitable that she felt a little distressed.But this is not easy to persuade, just pay attention to diet and daily life, or talk about some interesting things to share a little.

After a few days, Emperor Yongqing's illness became more and more severe, and the illness was like a mountain falling. As a result, dark clouds suddenly appeared in the Daming Palace, and even some courtiers were eager to try. Refused to go back.

Until the first snowfall in the capital every year, Shui Lan was discussing matters with the officials of the Privy Council that day in the meeting hall, and someone replied: "Your Majesty has something to ask the regent to go to Lingbao Palace."

Shui Lan knew that Emperor Yongqing's health was getting worse day by day, so he quickly put down other things and followed the eunuch to Lingbao Palace. As soon as he stepped into the palace gate, a strong and bitter medicinal fragrance came to his nostrils, which made him unconsciously He frowned.

Emperor Yongqing wanted to get up when he saw him, Shui Lan hurriedly took two steps, supported him on the pillow, and said: "Your Majesty, if you have something to send someone to tell you, why bother to work yourself? I seem to have lost some weight. .”

Due to illness, Emperor Yongqing, who was originally only two years younger than Shuilan, looked ten years older than him, with sunken cheeks and a little wrinkled mouth, forced a smile: "These days Both meats are lean and clean, and the merits and virtues should be completed."

As he spoke, he couldn't help coughing twice, and continued: "The things I came to tell you are not for others to hear."

When Shui Lan heard that he claimed that I was not alone, she knew something was wrong, and hurriedly interrupted: "Your Majesty is blessed by gods and Buddhas, so don't think too much about it. Foreign affairs will be taken care of by my ministers."

Emperor Yongqing shook his head slowly, pointed to the opposite side with difficulty, and said: "I've thought about this for a long time, after all, it's all about returning the property to the original owner. Go and see the table."

Shui Lan went to the table and saw that there was an imperial decree under the inkstone that had been used, which read: I know that the sky does not have holidays, and for the sake of my ancestors' foundation and the common people of the world, I decided to pass it on to the Regent King Shui Lan.

Before finishing watching, Shui Lan knelt in front of Emperor Yongqing's bed, with a sob in his voice: "Why is Your Majesty doing this?"

After being silent for a long time, Emperor Yongqing's face was peaceful and serene, and he sighed softly: "Since I came to the throne, I have been in a state of fear and fear. The previous emperor ruled me, and the important ministers suppressed me. It's not like a day is pure. Others may not know, the emperor's uncle But I understand how much the late emperor disliked me, and I have come step by step in those years, and the hardships in it are not enough for outsiders to understand."

After a pause, his two eyes suddenly looked at Shui Lan, and the hostility in his eyes almost burst out: "I hate the emperor, but after the emperor died, I hated myself even more for being incompetent. Regardless of state affairs and family affairs, everything has a heart Powerless, defeated the empress and prince to death, and then the concubine... everything is inferior to you."

Shui Lan didn't answer, just listened quietly to Emperor Yongqing who continued to say: "In the end, I don't even hate myself anymore, but I feel shocked and scared. When I close my eyes, I see those dead people. Even midnight suddenly When I wake up, I feel that sitting on the throne is really boring."

Saying these words seemed to consume a lot of mind, Emperor Yongqing panted for a while, and said sarcastically: "Uncle Emperor, what I envy most is that you have the princess by your side all the time. It's a pity, when you sit on this golden throne , I wonder if the princess will be sad because of this?"

Before saying a word, Shui Lan finally raised her head and smiled at him, still shining brightly, which was particularly glaring in Emperor Yongqing's eyes: "She is my wife, and I am a person who will never change from day to night. "

Emperor Yongqing who said this was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled: "Okay, as expected of the emperor's uncle, he really has deep affection and righteousness." Then he asked: "If the imperial edict and the princess can only choose one, I don't know what the emperor's uncle will do." select?"

Shui Lan didn't take it seriously, and said seriously: "A gentleman's promise is more important than Mount Tai. Even if there are thousands of excuses to break his promise to a woman, how can he talk about sitting on the world and winning the trust of the people of Liming? If you want to exchange it with the princess, your majesty will take back the edict. , I dare not obey orders in this matter."

After hearing this, Emperor Yongqing felt all sorts of emotions in his heart, and said, "Uncle Huang's words are wrong. Is there anything in the world where one can repent at will? This is definitely not allowed."

Emperor Yongqing was still lingering, suddenly coughed loudly, sprayed a mouthful of blood on the ground, looked into the distance and sighed: "The merits and virtues are complete, I am going to see the gods and Buddhas." Shui Lan was shocked and called people Go to the imperial physician and order someone to inform the queen mother.

At that moment, all the people were unable to give first aid, and when the Empress Dowager came back to see Emperor Yongqing lying on his back, his face was ashen, wiping away his tears, he wanted to scold Shui Lan but did not dare. The emperor has returned to heaven!"

Here the Empress Dowager was caressing the corpse and weeping loudly, and the whole hall burst into tears in an instant. Shui Lan felt as cold as ice piercing his bones. He stretched out his hand and pulled Emperor Yongqing, and said softly, "Please don't worry." There is a lot of unbearable color.

In the 15th year of Yongqing, the emperor died in Lingbao Palace.

Because Emperor Yongqing had no children, the regent Shuilan succeeded to the throne according to the edict. Although a few courtiers objected privately, the regent had controlled the government for a long time. They dare not speak out.

On the fifth day of the summer of that year, the new emperor succeeded to the throne and changed to Yuan Jingxi.As soon as Emperor Jingxi Shui Lan came to the throne, he ordered

The old name of the Six Palaces was abolished, and only a first-class Mrs. Qiyuan, who was the same queen, lived in Changchun Palace.

This title is both Qi and Yuan, for fear that others will not know that Miss Lin is his original wife.It's just that there has never been such a canonization, and there are veterans in the court who object. Before the long speech is finished, Shui Lan has no patience to listen, and just said: "I am happy."

Therefore, when the title first came down, Zijuan and Xueyan all joked a few times. Although Daiyu spit lightly on her mouth, scolding Shuilan for being the emperor and messing around, there was a hint of sweetness in her heart, her cheeks were as red as Begonia's. The flowers are still bright and beautiful.

That night, Daiyu and Shui Lan were resting in Changchun Palace, only the faint sound of wooden fish could be heard.

Daiyu woke up from a dream, but she was not in the palace. When she opened her eyes like a dream but not a dream, she saw a ruined temple, beside which sat a monk with a headless head and a Taoist priest with lame legs.

Daiyu always felt that the two of them seemed to have known each other, but she didn't expect that the monk with the headless head clapped his hands and laughed when he saw Daiyu, and then he heard the lame Taoist Jishou say: "Why didn't you know each other when we met? We once said that you will have a son-in-law. Today will be Wish granted."

After finishing speaking, Daiyufang realized that these two people were the great monks who unwrapped the phoenix lottery back then, so she couldn't help laughing and said, "So it's the two of you. My little girl doesn't understand how my sister Meng and I both won the phoenix lottery back then. Only now can I understand."

"That's right." The crocodile-headed monk stared at her with a half-smile, "You had a debt of tears to pay off, and you accidentally mixed with this dragon energy in the world, and then you saved another emperor's liberation. The cause and effect are balanced, which is gratifying." Congratulations."

Daiyu was puzzled, and was about to ask again, when she saw the lame Taoist wave his hand, and the two of them turned into a wisp of green smoke, and they didn't know where they were going.
