Chapter 1141 Sudden Southern Tour
Ba Ye sat by the bed and looked at Concubine Liang, unable to recover for a long while.

Although I have long been mentally prepared for such a day, but when this day really comes, I still don't want to accept it, and I don't want to believe it.

At this time, after hearing Mao Tongtong's words, his eyes finally moved, and he slowly looked at Concubine Liang.

"Tong Tong, what did Er Niang tell you?" Eighth Master asked.

"Er Niang wants the children to come and see her." Mao Tongtong said, "It's cold, let me take care of you."

"Emiang's whole heart is on me." Ba Ye whispered.

"It's the same for all mothers." Mao Tongtong tightly hugged Ba Ye's hand.

"That's right." Ba Ye stared at Concubine Liang's remains, "When I was young, I couldn't be by Eriang's side, so she often came to see me quietly. Several times when I turned my head, I saw her hiding in the corner and looking at me. "

Mao Tongtong looked at Ba Ye distressedly.Some ancient rules are very cruel.For example, concubines or palace servants with low status cannot raise their own children.In the early years, there was a more perverted rule in the palace, that is, children born by themselves cannot be raised by themselves.

So many brothers like Ba Ye failed to grow up beside their own mothers when they were young.For example, the eldest elder brother sent samples to the minister's house when he was a child, while the fourth master was raised by Queen Tong's side, and the fifth master was raised by the queen mother's side.

"When I was young, I always thought that when I grow up and have the ability, I can ask Huang Ama to raise my mother's rank. If the rank of my mother is higher, I will be able to look at me openly." The eighth master was still talking to himself. language.

Mao Tongtong didn't interrupt, just hugged Ba Ye and listened to him quietly.

"I worked hard for many years, and then I thought I could take Erniang out of the palace and leave this palace that made her sad. But Erniang didn't want to leave." Ba Ye couldn't help but look down when he said this.

He still can't figure out why Concubine Liang refuses to leave the palace?Is it really for him?He faintly felt that it was not!
"Maybe Erniang is used to life in the palace." Mao Tongtong said.

"Maybe." Eighth Master took a deep breath, finally calmed down, and said to the servant kneeling on the ground: "Go get some hot water, I want to wipe Erniang's face."

This was probably the last thing he could do for Concubine Liang as his son.

Mao Tongtong can understand Ba Ye's mood at this moment, because she has experienced the same pain herself.She knew that any comforting words would be pale at this time, and she just wanted to accompany her silently.

Concubine Liang was also the first concubine to pass away after Fourth Master ascended the throne. In addition, Eighth Master is now a prince and has to be reused by Fourth Master, so the Ministry of Rituals attaches great importance to it, and specially made a memorial for Liang Concubine's funeral.

This winter is destined to be more lonely than previous years.The death of Concubine Liang made Ba Ye feel overwhelmed for a long time.When Concubine Liang entered the Imperial Mausoleum, all matters were finally over, and Ba Ye also fell ill.

Ba Ye has not been sick for several years.This time, it was obviously overworked and sad, and he became so sick that he couldn't even get out of bed.For this reason, Fourth Master sent the imperial physician several times to treat Eighth Master.

Although Mao Tongtong felt sorry for Ba Ye, he was not too worried.She knew that it would take some time for Ba Ye to adjust himself.Illness is just a response to bodily functions.

By the time Ba Ye got better, it was already the spring of the second year.

This year, Fourth Master, who had been on the throne for several years, suddenly decided to make a southern tour.

Compared with Kangxi, fourth master is much more thrifty.He has hardly been out of Beijing for many years since he was enthroned.I haven't even been to Chengde Mountain Resort a few times, and spent several summers in Yuanmingyuan.Therefore, everyone was very surprised by this southern tour, and it also made the Ministry of Rites busy for a while.

Prince Honghui was left to supervise the country, and the other adult sons of the fourth master were all brought along, and the brothers from the eighth master were also on the list for this southern tour.

"Fourth brother, my younger brother should not go."

Ba Ye had only returned to court not long ago, he seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and he seemed to be a little lacking in energy.

"The eighth brother should just go to relax." The fourth master said, "It's my first tour to the south since I ascended the throne."

"Isn't it possible for my younger brother to help the crown prince supervise the country?" Ba Ye said.

Although Concubine Liang has been gone for several months and he is slowly recovering, he is really not in the mood to leave Beijing at this time.

"No." Fourth Master simply had two words.

Eighth Master didn't expect Fourth Master to refuse so thoroughly, he was stunned for a moment and didn't say anything more.

"Eighth brother, I remember that my younger siblings are from Yangzhou." Fourth Master said suddenly.

"En." Eighth Master looked at Fourth Master in surprise, not understanding why he suddenly mentioned this matter.

"You don't want to take your siblings back to have a look?" Fourth Master said.

Eighth Master was startled, and before he could answer, Fourth Master smiled and said, "Okay, you can step back, this matter is not for discussion."

"Then the younger brother will take his leave first." Eighth Master said with a bow.

Although he felt that fourth master seemed to have something to say, he didn't ask any more questions.

After leaving the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the warm sunlight shone on the body, making one feel like squinting comfortably.

Eighth Master walked slowly, thinking about what Fourth Master said just now, he always felt that something was wrong.Just like that all the way out of the palace and back to the mansion.When he entered Yileyuan and saw Mao Tongtong, he suddenly had a guess in his heart.

"Tongtong, fourth brother is going to tour the south." Ba Ye said.

"Really? Master is going?" Mao Tongtong said with a smile.There was nothing unusual about her expression, as if she had just heard about it.

"How does Tongtong know that Master is going?" Eighth Master asked.

"Didn't I just ask you!" Mao Tongtong said, "I don't know who the emperor will appoint."

"Fourth Brother wanted me to go, but I refused." Eighth Master said.

"Ah?" Mao Tongtong was obviously taken aback, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes, and asked, "Why? Isn't spring the best time to go to Jiangnan?"

"How did Tongtong know that he was going to Jiangnan?" Eighth Master asked again.

"Ah, isn't the southern tour going to Jiangnan?" Mao Tongtong replied in a panic.

Ba Ye smiled and said, "Not necessarily. It's possible that he came back after inspecting the river workers."

"Oh, I, I don't quite understand." Mao Tongtong looked a little uncomfortable.

"Tongtong wants to go to Jiangnan? Do you want to go back to Yangzhou to visit?" Eighth Master asked.

"Me?" Mao Tongtong was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I have been out of Yangzhou for many years, and besides, my family has moved to the capital, so there is no one I care about in Yangzhou anymore. It doesn't matter if I go or not."

"Oh, I thought Tongtong wanted to go." Ba Ye said: "If Tongtong wants to go, I can also talk to fourth brother. He also wanted to go that route."

"Really?" Mao Tongtong's eyes lit up for a moment, but he looked at Ba Ye and said again: "I don't want to go, so I won't go either."

"Tongtong, did you say something to the Empress?" Eighth Master suddenly stared into Mao Tongtong's eyes and asked.
