Fourth Master's childhood sweetheart

Chapter 142 What I Want to Say
Throughout November and December, the Empress Dowager never said anything about going out to see the snow.I presumably feel that the obsession has been achieved, so I will no longer be entangled in this matter.

The empress dowager's health has not improved, although Tong Jia Xili still has some expectations.

But there are times in life, and there are always times when expectations are broken.

Tong Jia Xili still remembered that it was a sunny afternoon.

During this year, the weather in winter is always gray.There is no trace of sunshine, so the sunshine of this day can be regarded as very rare.

Seeing the sunshine like this, Tong Jia Xili felt a little better for no reason.

Originally, they took porridge from the small kitchen and wanted to send it to the Empress Dowager, but they got the news that at the moment, Lord Kangxi, the Empress and the fourth elder brother were discussing the condition of the Empress Dowager with Imperial Physician Liang in the side hall.

Tong Jia Xili only knew that Yinzhen was coming, so she hurriedly sent the porridge in her hand to Aunt Dongxue, and was about to go to the side hall when she changed the road, thinking that it would be good to find Yinzhen.

In the side hall, Yinzhen came to visit the Empress Dowager together with the Empress.It just so happened that Lord Kangxi was inquiring about the condition of the Empress Dowager, so he listened together.

"Emperor Grandmother's illness is always stalemate and does not get better, and it is always of no benefit to the body."

Lord Kangxi's tone was a bit worried, and he asked Liang Taiyi: "I want to ask the truth, how is the emperor's grandmother's body now?"

The empress dowager's mental burnout was noticed by everyone.Although the winter is now halfway through, whether it can survive is still unknown after all.

Imperial Physician Liang took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Since the emperor doesn't ask about it, I guess I should tell the emperor in the past few days. The empress dowager's body...has reached her deathbed."

When dying, I'm afraid it will only be a few days.

Right now, it is the twentieth of the twelfth lunar month.The new year is only ten days away, so the Empress Dowager can't survive it?
Tong Jia Xili stood in the outer hall, thinking to wait until they finished talking before going to Yinzhen.I never thought that I would hear such words.

The sky was clear, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone brightly on the snow.

Tong Jia Xili sat in the distance, blankly not knowing what to look at.

Mu Sang picked wintersweet flowers and sent them over to give Tong Jiaxi pears.These days, the faint scent of wintersweet flowers can always be smelled in the empress dowager's bedroom.

"Gege, the flowers are blooming very well today, and the servants have picked a few."

Mu Sang joyfully hugged the wintersweet branch, and said, "The Empress Dowager will definitely like it."

Tong Jia Xili turned around and saw the pale yellow wintersweet flowers, which were in full bloom.Although, after they are picked, they will wither soon.

Then in the evening of the next day, there will be new wintersweet flowers to take their place.

Thinking of this, Tong Jia Xili only felt a little colic in her heart.How come she's thinking about these sad things?

in the end…

It was such a sentence that the empress dowager was on her deathbed, which made her feel sad.

"Go and hand it to Madam Su Mala." Tong Jia Xili was a little sleepy, and said, "I want to sit here for a while and watch the afterglow of the setting sun."

Although Mu Sang didn't quite understand why Tong Jia Xili behaved like this, she still obediently obeyed, and went into the back room to find Madam Su Mala with her wintersweet flowers in her arms.

On this day, Yinzhen has not returned to the Palace of Compassion and Ning.He had a few words with the queen, and when he came out of the side hall, he happened to see Tong Jia Xili sitting on the porch.

Tong Jia Xili's expression showed a bit of loneliness, which made people feel very distressed.

Xu Yinzhen naturally listened to the words of Imperial Physician Liang before.He also felt sad, but when he saw Tong Jia Xili's expression, he felt even sadder in his heart.

He could also feel her sadness.

...

As the day progressed towards New Year's Eve, at first the Empress Dowager was awake for less than half of the day.But as time went on, more and more of the day was muddled, and it was difficult to stay in bed due to illness.

The 27th of the twelfth lunar month is less than three days away from New Year's Eve.This morning, the Empress Dowager woke up very early.

Aunt Su Mala and Tong Jiaxi Li were on watch at night.It was just dawn, and I was about to tidy up and go back to rest, but unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager had already got up by herself.

Tong Jia Xili hastily followed Madam Su Ma into the inner room, and saw the Empress Dowager standing in front of the full-length mirror, sizing up her appearance.

"Ai's family is old, and her hair is all white."

The Empress Dowager sighed, and said, "Since I got sick, I've gotten older. Looking at myself in the mirror now, I've lost a lot of weight."

The old man has no appetite, can't eat, and is troubled by illness.As time went by, he naturally looked a little skinny.

Aunt Su Mala's eyes were red, as if she had thought of something.Wiping the tears that were about to overflow from the corners of his eyes, he stepped forward to help the Empress Dowager tidy up her clothes, and said, "You are not old."

"When spring comes, everything will be all right."

"is it?"

The Empress Dowager's voice was very soft, and she didn't know if she was answering Madam Su Mala's words.But she didn't have any confidence in her heart, and naturally she didn't have any expectations.

After a while, the Empress Dowager suddenly turned around and said to Aunt Su Mala: "Go to the emperor to have a look. If you are going to court, come here."

"The Ai family has something to say, and I want to tell him."

The tone is a little urgent.I don't know if I'm worried, if I don't say it this time, maybe I won't have the chance to say it in the future...

"Yes..." Madam Su Mala hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed to the Queen Mother's final order.

On the other end, Lord Kangxi, who had just returned to Qianqing Palace, was about to have a sip of tea and take a break when he heard the news of Aunt Su Mala, which made his heart sink.

"I... know."

Lord Kangxi nodded, remembering what the Imperial Physician Liang said a few days ago, he was finally mentally prepared and went to the Palace of Compassion.

Inside the Compassionate Ning Palace, the Empress Dowager was dressed neatly, waiting for Lord Kangxi to come over in the main hall.

"Xi Li, Aijia once remembered that a crystal osmanthus cake you made was delicious. It's rare to be a little energetic today, let's make some?"

The Empress Dowager looked at Tong Jia Xili with very kind eyes.

Tong Jia Xili sniffed and always felt a little sad, and retreated after answering.

Just in time, Lord Kangxi entered the house.

"My daughter has met the emperor." Tong Jia Xili subdued, turned sideways to make room, and left.

Lord Kangxi walked straight in, full of thoughts.

Crystal sweet-scented osmanthus cake, Tong Jia Xili is not good at it.I learned it at the beginning because the Empress Dowager liked it.Mother Su Mala taught it herself, and she learned it.

just this time...

Tong Jia Xili never imagined that this was the last time she would do this for the Empress Dowager.

PS: a little sad...

good night.
