Chapter 461

Su Ling's post was handed over, but he was not invited in.

The servant girl told her: "The empress is not feeling well recently, and she is afraid of passing on her sickness to the princess, so she just wants to leave her things and go back."

"Thank you." Su Ling restrained the anxiety in his heart, and thanked him politely.Immediately, Bai Shao stepped forward to give someone some money, and said kindly with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, sister, I hope to accept a little sincerity."

The servant girl was very happy to see that Su Ling was so generous, so she couldn't help but said a few more words: "I heard what the queen said the other day, and it seemed that she wanted to hand over the power of the harem. The slave knows it's not good to talk too much, but the queen If it is handed over, there will definitely be many people rushing to see the empress's joke."

Hearing this, Su Ling was stunned for a while, then slowly said: "Thank you, but never mention it in front of others in the future."

She took out a gold leaf from her sleeve and handed it to the servant girl: "I also hope that the girl will take good care of the queen mother."

The servant girl returned the gift with gratitude, and the two of them dispersed.

"Princess, don't worry, the empress has her own destiny..." On the way back, Bai Shao kept her mouth open, for fear that Su Ling would be unhappy.

Knowing that Bai Shao cared about her from the bottom of her heart, she didn't say much, but just listened quietly.Thoughts have drifted far away...

His Highness lost the pampering of his father and his mother, and his mother has no intention of power in the harem. Does he only have himself left?

"Your Highness, come back quickly." Su Ling muttered in a low voice.

The queen looked at the scenery in the yard, unable to regain her senses for a long time.Many of those flowers and trees were planted for her by His Majesty because she liked them.Now the flowers are still blooming, the trees have grown from small trees to big trees, and the distance between His Majesty and himself is getting farther and farther.

"Has the empress really decided?" The palace maid asked cautiously, the empress's health has been getting worse and worse these days, and she also dislikes the smoky things in the harem more and more.

"You just have to pass the message to His Majesty, didn't you agree yesterday?" The queen's eyes were full of exhaustion, she walked back slowly to the table and sat down.

"It's nothing, the servant girl is just afraid that the empress will regret it." The big palace maid's eyes were red, the empress empress is so good, how can His Majesty bear it.

The queen took a sip of tea, and asked lightly: "What did Ling'er bring here just now? Show it to Ben Gong."

"Hey, I'm going to get it now, servant girl." The grand maid said and was about to go out.

"No need, go and tell His Majesty the news." The queen looked at the rising and falling tea leaves in the teacup, feeling deeply moved for a moment.Her Ting'er will probably experience a lot of ups and downs, I hope he won't blame himself for being selfish.

"That object..." The maid of honor had selfish intentions, she didn't want to pass the news so early.In this case, the empress can still think about it more, and there is still a chance to regret it.

The queen curled her lips and said, "Don't worry, it's just a dead thing, and it won't run away with long legs. If it doesn't work, just ask someone else to fetch it."

"Okay, I'll ask someone to bring it here, I heard it's a statue of Guanyin!" The palace maid tried her best to sound happy, trying desperately to catch the queen's emotions.

The queen twitched her mouth slightly: "Then ask someone to bring it over quickly. Ling'er is good at tricking people, knowing that I am old, so I like these ghost stories."

The palace lady responded, and hurried down to take care of things.

Soon, the news that the queen did not want to manage the affairs of the harem due to illness spread throughout the harem.All the concubines were eager to try, all looking forward to gaining the power.

Concubine Li originally thought that according to the importance the emperor received during this period of time, the control of the harem would definitely fall into her hands.Who would have thought that when the emperor heard the news from the grand lady, he would leave in a hurry after saying "this is not up to her to decide".

When the other concubines in the palace were about to move, the emperor dragged his obviously weaker body to Changchun Palace.

But he didn't go in immediately, but stood at the gate of the palace for a long time, when the servant thought he would not go in again, he suddenly raised his foot and walked in slowly.

Perhaps it was because of taking the medicine that he was in a trance after entering.The bleak scene doesn't look like the empress' dormitory. Did Empress Zheng also experience this?Perhaps because there were few people in the palace, he felt that the sound of his footsteps could echo for a long time, making the palace very empty.

When he walked outside the queen's bedroom, he could clearly see the joy on the face of the little maid, and then watched her panic-strickenly report to the queen.He made a lot of guesses. Will the queen cry with joy when she hears that he is coming?Or when he opened the door, he happened to see her with a haggard look?

……

nothing.

The only one who came out from the left back was the little palace lady, she replied in a low voice with timidity and regret: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the empress is afraid that I will pass on your illness to you, so I tell you to go back and rest earlier."

He paused at the door for a long time in a daze. In the past, no matter what, Chu Xiu would tell him to go in.She doesn't like to play petty temper, and her temper comes and goes quickly, so he thinks that Chu Xiu is more sensible than other women.

It seems that because of this, I don't pay much attention to her.There used to be Concubine Chen, then Concubine Ning... now Concubine Li...

The maidservants and servants waiting behind all thought that a catastrophe must be imminent.

But this time, His Majesty neither ordered the maid to be beheaded, nor insisted on going in to see it.Still standing at the door, staring straight at the door panel, as if he had to see a flower before he would give up.

He didn't know what he was doing, he seemed to be missing the Queen's gentle eyebrows, and he seemed to be recalling the time they spent together.

The queen looked at herself in the bronze mirror in a daze. At this moment, her temples were slightly white, and the texture on her face was getting more and more textured. She was no longer the original pleasing appearance, so why should she appear in front of the emperor?

She found her voice and asked the little maid beside her, "Has he gone back?"

The palace maid next to her was stunned for a moment, and hurried to the door to take a look: "Go back to your mother, not yet."

The eldest lady's voice is very low, if you don't listen carefully, you may not be able to hear it.

"Go and tell Your Majesty, I'm tired. I really don't have the ability to take care of him. There are many beauties in the harem, and there should be some suitable candidates." Her voice was really soft, and the big maids around her could hear it all. Almost crying.

Her eye sockets were flushed, as if water was flowing, but she still nodded and said: "Yes, empress."

The emperor returned to the imperial study with some reluctance after the palace lady finished her report.

That night, he did not go to see Concubine Li, nor did he go to see other concubines.Instead, he stayed in the royal study for one night with the portrait of the former empress.

Between life and death, no one is immune.

"I just want to stay for a few more days," he said softly, as if Empress Zheng was really in front of him, "I'm trying my best to make up for the Zheng family's affairs, Yun Shen looks the most like you. Every time Seeing him is like seeing you. Yun Shen has married, although he is not a good backer, but fortunately he is good at seeing him, and the two get along well..."

In the end, he couldn't remember what he was talking about.
