"I'm a little tired today, sisters, let's leave first!" The queen looked at the crowd, her slightly pale face was full of exhaustion. 【 】

"Yes, empress!" Everyone responded, except for Princess Hejing, everyone left.

On February 24th, the emperor came to Qufu. On the second day, the emperor went to the Confucius Temple to perform the "Dian Lian".

Over the past few days, the ceremonies were grand and frequent, and the emperor had no time to condolences to the empress.

But at this time, the queen was a little bit powerless, Wei Ning'er and Princess He Jing saw it, and became more and more worried.

"Emperor's mother, I'm going to report to my father, rest for two days before leaving!" Princess He Jing looked at the emaciated queen, her words were full of sobs.

"No, I can't miss the schedule because of this palace, don't worry, this palace is fine!" The queen comforted softly.

The princess had no choice but to respond, and she and Wei Ning'er withdrew after a while.

"Princess, the emperor is very busy now, and I can't get away to see the empress, and I can't see the emperor, but the empress is just recovering from a serious illness. I'm afraid the situation is not good. The princess must find a chance to tell the emperor!" Wei Ning'er whispered in the princess' ear.

"En!" Princess He Jing nodded slightly, and then went to invite the emperor.

But even if the emperor felt sorry for the queen, he couldn't stay on the road for too long. After a little rest for a day, everyone went to Tai'an mansion.

That night, the emperor went to the queen's bedroom to accompany the queen.

Seeing the empress's haggard face, the emperor was very distressed, and said softly: "Yuexi, you don't want to go to Mount Tai tomorrow, rest for a few days, and then I will accompany you, okay?"

The queen leaned in the emperor's arms, shook her head lightly and said, "Your Majesty, you have ordered to climb Mount Tai. How can the concubine, as the queen, not accompany you? Besides, the concubine is just a little tired, and there is no serious problem."

The emperor couldn't persuade her for a long time, so he had to agree to her.

On the second day, the emperor went to Daiyue Temple to offer sacrifices early in the morning, and then he and the queen greeted the Empress Dowager Luanyu and set off from Daizongfang.

The empress was in surprisingly good spirits today, with a blush that had not been seen for a long time on her face, she walked slowly side by side with the emperor while supporting the empress dowager's light and warm phoenix chariot.

Seeing that the queen looked good, the emperor finally felt relieved, and couldn't help holding her hand tightly, making everyone behind him startled.

According to the previous agreement, the emperor took the queen to the Bixia Palace to worship, firstly to fulfill his wish, and secondly to pray for the queen, hoping that the goddess of Mount Tai could bless the queen in good health.

On the third day of March, the emperor woke up early, standing in front of the window in pajamas.After a spring snowfall, the clear sky was light blue, and the crisp and fresh air made people feel very refreshed. The emperor stood quietly in front of the window for a long time, until it was almost time, then turned and walked to the window, wanting to Wake up the queen.

"Empress...Empress...." He called several times but there was no movement. The emperor was startled, and immediately stretched out his hand to put on the empress's forehead. It was hot to the touch, and the emperor turned pale with shock.

"Here comes the imperial physician!" The emperor got up and shouted loudly to the outside of the hall.

"Yes!" Wu Shulai from outside responded, and immediately ordered someone to call the imperial physician.

The empress, who had suffered successive bereavements, had already suffered a serious illness in the palace, and the root cause of the illness was not gone, but at this time, she was exhausted from driving and horses. , fell ill, and the high fever persisted, the emperor stayed by the queen's side for a day, but still did not get better.

But after all, it was outside, so the Emperor Luanjia's extended stay would inevitably cause people to panic, not to mention that it was not convenient for the Empress to take care of her, so the Emperor ordered to hurry on the next day and stay in the nearest Jinan Mansion for the Empress to recuperate.

The palace in Jinan is located in the north of Daming Lake, a famous scenic spot in Jinan. This is the governor's office in Shandong, with a spacious courtyard and picturesque scenery.

On the fourth day of March, after the empress was settled down, the accompanying imperial physicians rushed in and out, Wei Ning'er and Princess Hejing also waited on the empress, and except for a few relatives and ministers, the outside world did not know the inside story.

In order not to cause panic, during the four days in Jinan, although the emperor was very worried, under the advice of the queen mother, he still appeared peaceful. While rafting on Daming Lake, when the Empress Dowager inspected the three battalions of Jinan, Qingzhou, and Yanzhou, she personally controlled the bows and arrows, and the arrows hit the bull's-eye.

The seventh day of the Lunar New Year was Qingming Festival, and seeing that the emperor still had no intention of returning to Luan, the minister of retinue who knew the inside story and Shandong governor Ali Gun had no choice but to ask the emperor to come to Baotu Spring again.

"He Jing, where is your Empress?" The queen was in a daze because of illness, but she did not forget to ask the emperor's whereabouts.

"Emperor Niang, Huang Ama has gone to visit Baotu Spring!" He Jing respectfully said.

"Baotu Spring? Didn't you go there two days ago? It's time to go back to Luan now." The queen sighed softly at this point: "Your Huang Ama was dragged down by Huang Erniang!"

"Huangeriang!" Princess Hejing couldn't help crying: "Huangeriang, don't say that, your health is more important than anything else, Huangerniang, you must get better!"

Wei Ning'er came in with the medicine in her hand, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, it's time to drink the medicine!"

The queen coughed heavily, then sat up with the support of Princess He Jing, and Wei Ning'er fed her the medicine.

Wei Ning'er heard the conversation with Princess Jing just now, and after the Queen finished drinking the medicine, Wei Ning'er said softly: "Your Majesty, you are the mother of a country, what is more important than your body at this time? It doesn't matter if the emperor stays for a few more days, the imperial doctor said, your mother is overworked, you need to rest well to recover!"

The queen was very sad when she heard the words, she couldn't delay everyone's return to the capital because of herself, so after the emperor came back, she persuaded the emperor to return to the capital.

The emperor couldn't beat her, so he had to agree, and immediately issued an order to bring the empress dowager back to Luan the next day.

From the capital to Jinan, it took a full 30 days, all by land, and the original plan to return to Luan was to board a boat from Dezhou and return to Beijing via the canal.

The emperor was afraid that the queen's condition would worsen, and thought that the outside world would not be as good as inside the palace, so he wanted to go back to the palace as soon as possible. It might be much faster and more comfortable to take a boat, but he was faintly worried that the queen's condition was getting worse. It's heavy, and there will be four days of bumpy travel from Jinan to Dezhou, and I don't know if the queen can bear it.

These days, due to the worsening of the empress' condition, the empress dowager signaled Concubine Xian to take care of many things. At this time, Concubine Xian was in the bedroom of the palace overnight looking at the woman sent by the officials.

These women are neither Eight Banners women, nor were they born in a coat, but serious Han women, all of whom are extremely beautiful.

According to the ancestral system, the emperor did not marry Han concubines, but... Kangxi also had a few Han concubines at the beginning, but they were concubines with no status, and even the promise of the last grade in the palace was not as good as that, but... There are exceptions, if a prince is born, he will also be enfeoffed, but... the status is very low, and because he was born in a Han family, it is always difficult to enter the elegant hall, even if he is beautiful and favored, he will not be very popular.

Therefore, Concubine Xian doesn't take their beauty seriously. It's just a common practice for these ministers to present beauties, and the emperor seems to have never accepted concubines from the Han Dynasty. There was a smile on the face.

The daughters of the Han family are really different from the Manchu women. Not only are they beautiful, but they also look like weak willows supporting the wind, and she feels pity for them.

Concubine Xian couldn't help but think of Wei Ning'er's extremely beautiful face, and said in her heart, "Concubine Ling, you boasted of your beauty, so you usurped the emperor's favor, and now I have a few women who are comparable to you Enter the palace, let's see how arrogant you are in the future.

No matter how favored the lowly Han girl is, she will not pose a threat to her noble concubine. If she is disobedient, getting rid of her is easy.

Thinking of this, Concubine Xian selected the four most beautiful women, and ordered Mu Yun to take them down to teach them the palace rules.

After a while, Concubine Xian was about to take a rest, but she heard a report from the palace maid, saying that Aunt Lumo, who was next to the Empress Dowager, asked to see her, Concubine Xian's eyes lit up, and she was invited into the bedroom.

After coming out of Concubine Xian's bedroom, Lu Mo left with a smile on her face.

On March [-]th, everyone arrived in Dezhou. During the four days from Jinan to Dezhou, the Queen's condition was stable, and she did not get worse. The emperor came to Shuici, Yuecheng, Dezhou.

After boarding the boat, the empress slept on the couch under the service of Wei Ning'er and Princess Hejing, she became a little drowsy after a while, the two of them were shocked, and immediately invited the imperial physician, the princess wanted to invite the emperor, but the empress insisted Don't let her go.

"Ning'er, is the queen mother okay?" The princess said with tears streaming down her face. Now that Sebuten Baljur is with the emperor, the only one she can discuss and rely on is Wei Ning'er.

"No!" Wei Ning'er said firmly, but she was a little scared in her heart. These days, the queen's condition has become more and more serious. Others don't know, but Wei Ning'er and Princess Hejing have been guarding the queen for a few days. Well, the empress is groggy at night, and will keep calling Yong Lian and Yong Cong's names, sometimes they are even afraid that the empress will just sink into a dream like that and never wake up again.

The queen has never recovered from the pain of bereavement. In addition, she has just recovered from a serious illness and is exhausted on the way. How can she not be ill?

Now I can only listen to the imperial physician, serve the queen to drink medicine, and admonish and comfort her more.

When the sun was about to set, the emperor stood alone on the boat, looking into the distance, and concubine Xian came slowly with the support of Mu Yun.

"My Majesty, my majesty is blessed with peace!" Concubine Xian respectfully said.

"My beloved concubine is free!" The emperor didn't look back.

"Is the emperor worried about the empress?" Concubine Xian stepped forward and said softly.

The emperor nodded slightly, but didn't say much.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty's condition has stabilized. The Empress is the mother of the country. Auspicious people have their own natural features. I believe that Your Majesty's cold will soon be cured!" Concubine Xian's words became more and more gentle.
