Lu Zhishan felt a severe pain in his heart, as if there was a crack that had been winding for thirty years and suddenly collapsed on this day.
"Cousin," Mu Nanzhi gently stroked the man's back, "I'm not sad anymore, I'm not sad anymore."
…
what is love.
Two greedy, selfish and timid children fed each other sweets.
~~~~~~~~~
April 18, the twenty-sixth year of Jiasheng
The queen is critically ill.
As soon as Lu Mingwei got the news, he hurried to Jingren Palace. He had not been to Jingren Palace since the prince was deposed. Partly because he did not want to listen to Xu's cries and pleas, and partly because he really wanted Xu to be killed. He likes to rest and recuperate.
Xu's illness is in his mind but not in his body, so what can he do? Is it possible that the deposed prince should be promoted to the throne
He knew he couldn't do it, so he was even more reluctant to come to Jingren Palace.
It was only when he stepped into Jingren Palace again that he realized that Jingren Palace was completely different from before. It was obviously late spring in April, when the spring flowers were blooming, but Jingren Palace was as bleak as winter, and even the flowers were blooming. There were no flowers, and the huge courtyard was empty. Even Xu's favorite Yutangchun was withered, with dead branches and leaves standing in front of him, which was very eye-catching. Lu Mingwei's face couldn't help but darken.
Mrs. Xu was seriously ill, so naturally it was Concubine Wan Gui who was in charge of the Sixth Palace. I didn’t expect that she would treat Mrs. Xu so harshly. Look at it, it’s been a long time, but Lu Mingwei didn’t even hear about it. If he hadn’t suddenly heard the news and came here today. , he was afraid that he would still be kept in the dark.
Concubine Wan Gui, you are really resourceful.
Zhao Ruhai looked at Lu Mingwei's face, stepped forward and asked the chief eunuch of Jingren Palace in a cold voice: "How do you do your job? The flowers in the palace have withered, but you can't move new ones?"
The leader eunuch knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "I know my sin! I know my sin!"
Zhao Ruhai was about to reprimand again, but was stopped by Lu Mingwei. He raised his feet and walked towards the main hall, while saying calmly: "Pull out the useless things and kill them with a stick."
Zhao Ruhai was startled, and then shouted to the guard behind him: "Why don't you pull me out quickly?"
"Long live for your life! Long live for your life. This matter has nothing to do with the slaves. It's all..." The chief eunuch screamed and was dragged out by the guards covering his mouth.
"Long live Lord, please come in quickly," the maid from Jingren Palace came out of the palace and knelt down to greet her, with tears on her face and choked with sobs, "The Queen has been waiting for the Long Live Lord. The Queen... she is not well..."
Lu Mingwei walked quickly into the bedroom with a sullen face. As soon as he entered, he frowned due to the strong smell of the soup inside. The room was quiet, with eunuchs and maids kneeling all over the floor, all crying softly. weep.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... are you here?" Ms. Xu was lying on the bed and asked in a daze, "Have you... gone to invite your Majesty?"
"Cousin, I'm here." Lu Mingwei sat on the edge of the bed and gently held Xu's hand. He looked at Xu's pale and thin face and Xu's bony hands, and his heart couldn't help but feel sour. Extremely sad.
Xu is his cousin. Although he has no love for Xu, when he married Xu, he completely obeyed the wishes of the Queen Mother and consolidated his power. Although Xu made many mistakes and even though he once hated her, But after all, Mrs. Xu is his cousin, his first wife, and the woman who gave birth to his two sons.
Happy weekend~
