Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 600 Dying
"I had a good sleep this time, even at such a late hour." The old lady said as if to comfort herself.

"It must be that your old lady is in good health. We have been unable to sleep for a long time, but you are sleeping so soundly." What can Xue Baochai say? I can only offer words of comfort.

The old lady looked at Xue Baochai, lowered her head, sighed and waved her hand, telling the maids beside the bed to leave.

"You don't need to comfort me. My old lady doesn't know anything."

After saying this, Mrs. Wang stood up from the bed and wanted to walk to the dressing table, but after taking a few steps, her body swayed a little.

Xue Baochai hurriedly stepped forward to support the old lady, "Just let me take something. There is no need for you to do it yourself."

Mrs. Wang could only sit on the bed again, looking into the distance with blank eyes, "It seems I don't have much time."

Xue Baochai didn't know how to answer the question.

"Is there anything else you want me to do for you?" Mrs. Wang asked.

"old lady……"

Hearing this familiar and kind name, Mrs. Wang smiled and patted Xue Baochai's hand, "Don't be afraid. If you have anything to say, just say it."

"Old lady, I don't have anything to do with it. It's mainly because of King Wu's affairs that I can't let go."

Mrs. Wang naturally knew that Xue Baochai was worried that Jia Rui would not make King Wu the crown prince after she left.

Mrs. Wang's eyes were a little confused, and after a while she said: "I took care of this for you before I left, but I don't know whether this is a blessing or a curse for him."

Xue Baochai naturally knew what Mrs. Wang meant. She gritted her teeth and said firmly: "Although I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse, we must fight for it, otherwise it will only be a disaster."

What Xue Baochai said is indeed reasonable. As the eldest son of Wu King Jia Xuan, if he does not fight for the crown prince and gives up this position, others who win the world in the future will not let him go.

"In this case, I will tell the emperor that I think the emperor will give me, this old lady, a chance to rest in peace."

Xue Baochai also sighed. If she had not been helpless, she would not have troubled the queen, who was already in poor health.

She could only come to the old lady to accompany her every day and talk to her in her last days, so that the old lady could live a more comfortable life before she left.

From that day on, Xue Baochai almost always came up in the morning and went to Longshou Palace to say hello to the old lady. After that, he would accompany the old lady to have a meal. He kept chatting until noon and served the old lady lunch. When it was almost time to turn on the lamp, Xue Baochai returned to Kunming. Ning Palace.

Jia Rui also came to Longshou Palace frequently during this period. He also met Xue Baochai from time to time. He was still very satisfied with Xue Baochai coming to accompany the old lady every day.

However, although Jia Rui had asked the doctors to do their best to maintain her health, the old lady's body was still failing day by day.

In the end, it was impossible to hide the truth from Jia Dairu, so he could only tell the truth.

After Jia Dairu heard the news, he immediately held his breath. Fortunately, many imperial doctors from Longshou Palace came to the scene to rescue him immediately, so the old man did not suffer any harm.

But even so, the old man Jia Dairu's body suddenly collapsed.

Seeing that the old man's energy was suddenly gone, Jia Rui was afraid that he would walk in front of Mrs. Wang.

With no other option, Jia Rui could only put pressure on Taiyuan Hospital.

The doctors of the Imperial Hospital were also unlucky. The Queen was originally ill, but something happened to the Emperor this time, making all the capable doctors of the Imperial Hospital very busy.

Faced with the two elderly people's increasingly poor health, Jia Rui tried every means and bought a lot of miraculous medicines from the system.

It's a pity that no matter how good the medicine is, it can't sustain two decayed bodies.

As time went by, three months later, Mrs. Wang finally entered her deathbed.

At this time, in front of Mrs. Wang's bed, not only Jia Rui and Xue Baochai were there, but also Jia Rui's other concubines and children.

Jia Rui sat in front of Mrs. Wang's bed, looking at her old grandma who was in a state of decline. Tears fell involuntarily.

At this time, Jia Rui couldn't help but think of the scene when Mrs. Wang took care of him every day in front of the bed when he first time traveled. After a while, Jia Rui wiped his eyes and said to the cautious Lao Li: "Go to Rongguo Mansion and bring the prince, wife and children of Rongguo Gong."

After hearing this, Lao Li immediately went out to do errands.

Xue Baochai peeked at Jia Rui and immediately lowered his head.

When Lao Li left Longshou Palace, he was still a little uneasy.

He kept a low profile during this period, mainly because the whole country knew about his nephew's incident, although in the end Jia Rui let him go in handling the matter.

But Lao Li clearly felt that his master no longer trusted him as much as before.

Lao Li came outside, sighed inwardly, and then clapped his hands.

A black figure immediately appeared in the darkness.

"Send a few capable people to Duke Rongguo's mansion to bring Duke Rongguo's wife and eldest son Jia Ping into the palace."

The black shadow retreated after hitting a thousand.

At this time, the Rongguo Mansion was still peaceful, and they had no idea that a very important figure in the palace had passed away.

In Wang Xifeng's yard, she was talking to Heping'er about today's income.

"Today, three thousand taels of silver were sent from the north, saying that the northern Tatars are paying filial piety to grandma."

Wang Xifeng looked at her fingers and said calmly: "These barbarians still have some filial piety. Although I don't care about the money, their hearts are still good."

Wang Xifeng's infiltration into northern tribes has become more and more serious in recent years, and much of the tribal economy has been controlled by Wang Xifeng.

Of course, this is just a superficial phenomenon. The person who really holds the real power is the Intelligence Department in Jia Rui's hands.

But even so, Wang Xifeng can still get wind and rain in the northern tribe.

"The second master hasn't sent the money over yet?"

"Grandma, our second master didn't even think about giving money." Ping'er was not happy either. She felt uncomfortable with Jia Lian hiding so much money.

"Haha, it seems that he has a different heart from us. Now that he has a new wife, how can he remember me as an old man?"

Just as the two of them were talking, the window was suddenly knocked on, and very regularly, like some kind of code.

Wang Xifeng was stunned for a moment, then immediately stood up and opened the window.

Then a figure rushed in from the window.

As soon as this person landed, he immediately knelt down and greeted Wang Xifeng in a high-pitched voice.

"This slave has met the Queen."

"It's so late, what's wrong?"

The eunuch stood up and said, "Go back to the Queen, the Emperor has decreed that the Queen and the Young Master should enter the palace immediately."

Wang Xifeng was surprised, "What happened?"

The black figure lowered his head and said nothing.

Wang Xifeng knew that nothing would come out of his mouth, so she could only say to Ping'er beside her: "Go to the wet nurse, bring Jia Ping over, and tell her that Jia Ping will sleep with me tonight."
