Chapter 825
[-]

At the end of April of this year, news came from the palace that the Empress Dowager had fallen ill. With a five-month-old belly, Ouyang Wanruo hurried into the palace with her son and Xiang Chenxiang.

Seeing the skinny mother with her eyes closed tightly on the bed, Ouyang Wanruo's tears flowed down like broken beads.

"Mother's queen?" Ouyang Wanruo suppressed the grief in her heart as if she was worried about disturbing her mother, and called softly, but the queen mother on the bed didn't know whether she was in a deep sleep or unconscious, so she didn't respond at all.

She hasn't entered the palace for only half a month, why is the queen mother so thin?Ouyang Wanruo couldn't accept it.

"I have seen the emperor's aunt, and I have a horse." Seeing Ouyang Wanruo crying too much by herself, the concubine and the side concubine who were waiting on the bed stepped forward to salute, and took out a handkerchief to wipe the corners of her eyes. Real crying or fake crying, only they themselves know.

"When did the queen mother get sick, why didn't anyone inform the princess?" Ouyang Wanruo asked, holding back her grief.

Seeing this, the nurse next to the queen mother stepped forward and said, "Princess, don't blame the crown princess and the prince's side concubine. It was the queen mother who said that she was not allowed to tell the princess."

The princess was pregnant, the queen mother didn't want the princess to think too much, and the emperor and queen also meant the same, so they didn't inform the princess in time.

Mammy also had a sad face: "Actually, the queen mother had caught a cold when the princess entered the palace last time, but the queen mother didn't want the princess to worry and didn't tell the princess. As soon as the princess left, the queen mother fell down. I thought it was just a little girl. Unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager’s illness is so lingering, she has fallen into a coma since yesterday, and the imperial doctor said..."

Speaking of this, the nanny burst into tears, choked up and said: "The imperial doctor said that the queen mother..."

For the rest, Mammy couldn't say anything, but everyone knew what the imperial doctor meant.

Ouyang Wanruo staggered, Xiang Chenxiang quickly hugged her into his arms, and said palely, "Don't be sad, the Queen Mother will definitely get better."

"Mother-"

Ouyang Wanruo couldn't bear it anymore, broke away from Xiang Chenxiang's arm, and rushed towards the bed.

Xiang Chenxiang and everyone in the palace were terrified, but fortunately Xiang Chenxiang moved quickly and strode forward to support her.

"Is it... Wanruo...?" The Queen Mother moved her eyelids, but she never opened them, and she opened her mouth in a breathless manner.

"The empress, it's me, it's me!" Ouyang Wanruo burst into tears, her heart ached so hard that she couldn't breathe, she hated herself to death, hated why she didn't notice that the empress was sick when she entered the palace last time?Hate myself for not even entering the palace to attend to her mother's illness, hating myself for not entering the palace for nearly half a month, hating myself for not knowing about her mother's illness until so late...

Ouyang Wanruo hated and bitterly held the Queen Mother's hand tightly, trying to say something to her mother, but her eyes were blurred by tears.

"Stupid child... don't... be sad..." The queen mother took a few breaths after saying a word, but she held her daughter's hand firmly: "Wanruo... you... have a good life... empress...don't worry... ..."

"Mother, I'm doing well, I'm fine, don't talk yet, let the imperial doctor come in and have a look, and tell me if you have anything to say." Ouyang Wanruo heard her mother's words, The anxiety in her heart continued to expand, and she subconsciously wanted to escape.

All the imperial doctors guarding outside the screen dared not hesitate to hear Ouyang Wanruo's cry, and rushed in one after another.

The Empress Dowager raised her lower eyelids with great effort, waved her hands lightly, and signaled the imperial doctor to retreat, but the imperial doctor did not dare to disobey the Empress Dowager's wishes, and retreated behind the screen to wait.

"Mother, please let the imperial doctors take a look, please..." Ouyang Wanruo cried and begged.

"Princess," Xiang Chenxiang put his hand on Ouyang Wanruo's shoulder, and persuaded softly, "Just follow the Queen Mother."

The queen mother's time is approaching, if you don't listen, there will be no chance, Xiang Chenxiang doesn't want his daughter-in-law to regret it.

Ouyang Wanruo kept crying, but the Queen Mother's voice was a little louder than before, and she seemed to be no longer panting when speaking, Xiang Chenxiang's heart sank.

This is obviously a flashback!

"Have you informed the emperor?" Xiang Chenxiang asked the empress dowager's personal nurse in a low voice.

"Return to the horse, and have already sent someone to invite the emperor."

Nanny has experienced many things, so she naturally knows what the empress dowager means, and she has already sent people to invite the emperor and empress.

The emperor, empress and prince heard that the queen mother had woken up and rushed over. After entering the Palace of Compassion and Peace and listening to the doctor's words, they knew that the queen mother's condition was not optimistic.

Ouyang Rui sullenly stood still behind the screen.

Ji Linger and Ouyang Bo looked at him worriedly, knowing that he was feeling uncomfortable, but they didn't know how to persuade him?

"Is it Rui'er?" The queen mother's weak voice came from inside.

Hearing his mother calling his baby name, Ouyang Rui's throat was astringent, he strode around the screen and walked in, Ji Linger and Ouyang Bo also followed.

"Mother, it's Erchen!" Ouyang Rui sat down on the edge of the bed, pulled the quilt for his mother, and pretended to be relaxed: "Mother, the imperial doctor said that you need to take care of your illness quietly, relax, and you will recover soon Now, do you want Wanruo to accompany you in the palace?"

The Empress Dowager finally opened her eyes and smiled: "Ai Jia's body is clear, you don't need to comfort Ai Jia."

The Queen Mother's eyes slowly fell on her tearful daughter: "Ruier, you have never let the Queen Mother worry about you since you were young. After you sit on the throne, the Ai family will feel more at ease, but Wanruo is not a worry-free girl. , Aijia is really worried about her marriage, but now it seems that Aijia is asking for trouble!"

From her daughter's plump figure, brighter smile on her face, and less scruples in speaking, the Queen Mother knew that her daughter was living comfortably in Xiang's house.

The Empress Dowager knew well that if it was another big family, even if the daughter was a princess, she would not be able to live so comfortably, so she can rest in peace when she leaves now.

The queen mother coughed a few times, Ouyang Rui and the others looked nervous, only to see the queen mother coughed and looked at Ouyang Bo with a smile.

"Grandma Huang." Ouyang Bo hurried forward.

"Bo'er, your father is a good emperor. You are the crown prince now. Grandma Huang hopes that you will be like your father in the future and be an emperor who benefits all people."

Ouyang Bo's eyes turned red, he wanted to nod but didn't dare, he couldn't help but glanced at his father, seeing him nodding, Ouyang Bo said: "Grandma Huang, grandson knows, don't worry."

"Bo'er, several generations of the Xiang family have devoted themselves to the imperial court. Can you promise Grandma Huang that one day when you really ascend the throne, you must treat the Xiang family well?"

With the relationship between her son and Xiang Chenhong, the queen mother is not worried that he will embarrass the Xiang family, but her own grandson is different. She is afraid that he will attack the Xiang family because of personal grievances. What will the daughter and grandson do then?
The queen mother had no scruples in speaking at this time, but Ouyang Bo didn't dare to respond casually, and looked at his father again.
