happy match

With a crisp sound of "Boom", the expensive and exquisite teacup fell to pieces, and the tea splashed all over the floor, some even splashed onto the hem of the skirt.

But Mrs. Zheng didn't notice, she only clenched Gu Xinian's hand tightly with a pale face, her voice trembling: "Xinian, is what you said true? Concubine Zheng really committed suicide, and now she doesn't know if she will die or not." ?”

Looking at his mother's pale face, Gu Xinian felt a little sympathetic in his heart, and nodded slowly: "Yes, I also just received the news. The empress ordered people in the palace to spread the news, so I don't know very well. I heard that the imperial concubine committed suicide with the white silk yesterday, and the imperial doctors have been treating her in the imperial concubine's bedroom. They haven't come out until today!"

Mrs. Zheng's hands trembled, and water glistened in her eyes.

Seeing her mother-in-law so sad, Ye Qinglan felt very heavy in her heart.He hurriedly opened his mouth to comfort and said: "The imperial concubine is blessed with great fate, she will be fine. The imperial physicians in the palace are highly skilled, and they will definitely be able to save the imperial concubine. You don't have to worry."

Mrs. Zheng was so upset that she couldn't listen to these comforting words, she just sat down on the chair, tears streaming down her eyes.

Gu Xiyu didn't know how to comfort her, so she moved timidly to Madam Zheng's side and held Madam Zheng's hand.

Gu Hong sighed softly: "The imperial concubine is your own younger sister. It is inevitable that you will feel sad when something like this happens. But the situation in the palace is very delicate now, and we really should not get involved. We can only wait for the imperial concubine to recover in the future. , and try to visit again.”

Because of the face of Empress Gu and the crown prince, Madam Zheng even had a chance to enter the palace.It is also inconvenient to visit Concubine Zheng.How could Mrs. Zheng not be clear about this point?But thinking of the dying Concubine Zheng, Mrs. Zheng's heart seemed to be tightened, and tears kept falling.

Mrs. Zheng's mood was low, which naturally affected everyone's mood.All were speechless for a moment.

After a long time, Mrs. Zheng's crying gradually stopped, and she asked with red eyes: "Does the third prince know about the imperial concubine?"

Gu Xinian nodded: "Understood. I heard that he went to the palace this morning to ask to see the emperor." Without waiting for everyone to ask, he narrated what he knew.

overnight.The news reached the ears of the third prince.He was so anxious that he immediately went to the palace to see the emperor.The emperor refused to see the third prince at first, and the third prince knelt outside the door for a long time. Finally, the kneeling emperor softened and saw the third prince.When the emperor was talking to the third prince, not even a single eunuch stayed beside him, and no one knew what he said.but.After that, the third prince went directly to Concubine Zheng's bedroom and stayed by Concubine Zheng's side all the time.

...According to this, wouldn't the day when the third prince became a vassal be postponed?

Ye Qinglan glanced at Mrs. Zheng who kept wiping the corners of her eyes, and silently swallowed these words.

After finally appeasing Mrs. Zheng, the husband and wife returned to Izumo Pavilion.As usual, I saw the children.Just went back to the house to talk.

"The emperor is soft-hearted, so he will not change his mind. Don't let the third prince go to Fandi!" Ye Qinglan asked worriedly.

Gu Xinian was not worried, and even said with a faint smile: "The imperial decree has been issued, and there is no room for discussion on this matter. However, the emperor will not be so ruthless to immediately drive the third prince away after Zheng Guifei made a fuss." Beijing. It looks like we have to delay for a while longer."

What he said was so sure, Ye Qinglan had no choice but to relax and not think about this annoying question for the time being.

......

Gu Xinian was very calm.The prince was not so calm.After learning that the third prince had entered the palace to accompany Concubine Zheng, he became even more restless.Thinking about it.Still decided to go to the palace to have a look.

But Mo stopped the prince: "Your Highness, are you planning to enter the palace?"

The prince hummed.

"Your Highness, please listen to my concubine's words." Mo said euphemistically: "Concubine Zheng has not yet woken up. Due to emotion and reason, Father and Emperor can't refuse the plea of ​​Third Emperor Brother. At this time, if Your Highness goes to remonstrate , I'm afraid I will get a reputation for being mean and unkind. According to my concubine, it's better to wait and see what happens."

After being reminded by Mo Shi, the prince also realized the inappropriateness of his behavior, and suddenly came to his senses: "You are right! I really shouldn't enter the palace!"

Seeing that the crown prince listened to his words, Mo's mood suddenly improved a lot, and he said with a smile: "Actually, if you think about this matter the other way around, it might not be a bad thing. The disturbance of the imperial concubine and empress will certainly make the emperor Temporary soft heart. But it doesn't help the matter at all. The imperial edict has been issued, and the father can't take it back. Even if the third brother stays in the capital for a few more days, he will still go to Fandi when the imperial concubine gets better. The imperial concubine and the father There will be no more points left after such a fuss. In the future, no one in the palace will be able to compete with the queen mother."

The prince's mind gradually cleared up, he pondered for a moment, and finally showed a smile: "You are right, I thought too much before. I'd better hold back for the time being."

Mo Shi pursed his lips and smiled.

......

In the dead of night, Concubine Zheng's bedroom was still brightly lit.Several imperial physicians stayed up all day and all night, and all of them were exhausted and looked haggard.But no one left.

The emperor has an order. Before Concubine Zheng wakes up, the few of them must stay in Concubine Zheng's bedroom and be on standby at any time.If Concubine Zheng Guifei really had something wrong with her and died, then they probably wouldn't be able to save their lives.

Although everyone secretly lamented the bad luck, none of them dared to reveal it.Even when the third prince shouted with red eyes, "If you quack doctors can't save the concubine mother, I will cut off your heads myself", he had to squeeze out a smile to comfort the almost hysterical third prince: "Your Highness, please rest assured!" , the subordinates will definitely do their best..."

The third prince couldn't even listen to half a word, he stared closely at Concubine Zheng Gui who was pale and almost out of breath, his heart felt like being stabbed by a needle.

If it wasn't for him, mother wouldn't lose her mind and do such a thing.

If those maids found out a little later, their mother and child would be separated forever!

Thinking of these, unprecedented remorse and pain reverberated in the third prince's heart.It's all his fault, if he hadn't been ambitious to be the crown prince, if he hadn't angered his father and pampered his beautiful and graceful mother, how could he have fallen into the situation he is today...

He slowly sat down beside the bed, subconsciously holding Concubine Zheng's hand.That soft hand was cold and without warmth.Tears oozed out of the corner of my eyes at some point.Suddenly, the father's solemn face appeared in his mind.

"Are you really going to accompany your concubine mother?" Father asked lightly.

He knelt deeply to the bottom, and replied forcefully: "I beg my father to fulfill my filial piety. If my father still can't trust my son, I am willing to swear here. As long as my mother and concubine can wake up safely, my son will Immediately set off to leave Beijing for the feudal land, and will never stay longer than one day, and from now on, as long as the father and emperor do not call, the son will never leave the feudal land without permission."

……

Father finally nodded and agreed to let him enter the palace to accompany Concubine Zheng.But he knew very well in his heart that his father's pity and love for him had come to an end.What awaits him is the fate of leaving the capital and away from his mother and concubine.And what will be waiting for the mother and concubine?

Before I knew it, tears blurred my vision.

"Mother, why are you so stupid..." He choked up and whispered: "Father has already issued an imperial edict, how could he take it back? You are just torturing yourself by doing this. Father has not even visited you until now. ..."

Concubine Zheng Gui on the bed still looked miserable and lifeless.

"As long as you can wake up safely, from now on, I will never hope for things that don't belong to me. Mother, I beg you, open your eyes quickly..." The third prince couldn't go on anymore, and tears flowed from his eyes. It kept gushing out of the eye sockets.Trembling, he buried his face in Concubine Zheng's palm, hot tears soon moistened her palm.

The fingers of Concubine Zheng's other hand moved suddenly, the movement was so subtle that it would be impossible to notice it if one didn't look carefully.

The third prince was still crying with his head down, not aware that Concubine Zheng Gui had woken up.

Concubine Zheng exhausted all her strength, finally opened her eyes, and let out a weak cry from her dry lips: "Zhang'er..."

The third prince's whole body was shocked, he raised his head in disbelief, his eyes were full of ecstasy: "Mother, you're awake!"

Concubine Zheng's voice was so weak that she could hardly hear her, she said intermittently: "Zhang'er, I went to beg your father, but he refused to see me. If I die now and show him, he will definitely not let you go again... "

The tears that had stopped poured out again without warning.The third prince was heartbroken and could barely speak.

"Don't cry, I'll be fine." Concubine Zheng tried her best to force a smile, and there was a burning pain in her throat, making her speechless.She tried forcefully, her throat became more and more painful: "I will get better. You have a rare chance to enter the palace, so you must find a chance to beg your father..."

The third prince trembled and opened his mouth and said: "Mother, don't talk, I'll let the imperial doctors come over."

With that said, he quickly got up and called the imperial doctor.

It was already the third watch.Only one of the imperial physicians stayed on vigil, and the others went to sleep.When Concubine Zheng woke up, the imperial physicians were also woken up and hurried over.

After the pulse diagnosis, we discussed it again, and finally decided on a prescription.The maids went to the imperial hospital overnight to get medicine and boil it.

When the hot medicine was brought over, the third prince refused to let anyone else do it, and fed the medicine to Concubine Zheng himself.

Concubine Zheng didn't have the strength to sit still, she lay half limp on the quilt, and opened her mouth to drink the medicine handed to her mouth.The hot and bitter medicinal juice slid through the burning throat, causing an unbearable stinging pain.

But Concubine Zheng didn't say a word, she just swallowed the medicine bit by bit. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
