However, the child's sorrow and fear cannot be exchanged for the mother's attention.

She had no time to pay attention to him.

His eyes only fell on Emperor Hongwen's face.

Hold his hands very tightly.

The candlelight sways.

The room looks dark and deserted.

In the shadows, there were some ghosts coming and going.

She saw Emperor Hongwen's face.

So pale, although his eyes were closed, his sockets fell very deeply.

Aging all night.

The handsome boy of the past, the boy holding a crystal apple, has disappeared without a trace.

Even his thin hands completely lost the strength and smoothness of the past, so dry, weak and powerless.

Fangfei tightly covered his hand. At this moment, for some reason, she suddenly felt that she was so close to him - the first time she got so close!

He even heard his heartbeat—a faint one.

I don't know if it's my own.

The child dared not speak.

It was the first time he saw the Empress Dowager like this - the first time he saw the Empress Dowager, and so unscrupulously embraced his father with sincere emotions - an emotion that he could not understand but understood subconsciously.

Originally, he had been looking forward to the two getting along like this.

But it came too late.

He was like a little adult, and invited all the imperial doctors who knelt at the door and didn't dare to vent their breath.

The surroundings became so quiet.

Fangfei forgot—

She didn't even realize what her son had done.

Don't care.

But I felt relieved in my heart - a little relief. This child already knew how to protect his mother.

However, all her thoughts were on Emperor Hongwen.

Slowly leaned down and took out the pills in his arms.

Hong'er cleverly brought the hot water to himself, and it was already warm, just right.

Fangfei sat on the bed and slowly helped Emperor Hongwen up.

He was in a semi-coma and was very heavy.

Seeing that the empress dowager was struggling, Hong'er came over immediately and helped him.

Fang Feisong breathed a sigh of relief and felt lost again - she was old - she didn't even have the strength to support Emperor Hongwen? Or was she losing her strength because of fear?

She couldn't imagine it, but just suppressed her inner fear and prevented herself from crying.

That was a kind of collapse.

She was afraid that she would collapse first.

Emperor Hongwen suddenly opened his eyes, confused, his lips trembled slightly.

Hong'er was overjoyed, "Father...Father is awake...Empress Dowager, look, Father is awake..."

Fangfei couldn't laugh at all.

I felt even more choked and uncomfortable.

Emperor Hongwen's awakening was even more scary than his failure. At this time, she kept pressing his hand, touching his pulse, and listening to the faint sound.

Too weak.

Slow, dull.

Just like a horse about to fall—

I was tired all my life, but finally couldn't stand it anymore.

This is completely different from Luo Jia's sudden death.

This is how she saw with her own eyes how a man in her prime has endured the energy in his life in the years - there is no cure for him.

Even numb, I feel sad even if my heart is not there.

She just sat in a little bit, helped him tighter, and put the medicine to his mouth.

Emperor Hongwen had already seen his son, but could not see her, and his face was filled with joy: "Hong'er...Hong'er..."

His body was completely resting on her - at this time, it was no longer heavy, like a feather.

"Father...you are awake...you are awake, Hong'er is not afraid...Hong'er is really afraid that you will not wake up..."

The child is incoherent.

He thought that if the father woke up, he would be fine.

As long as you wake up, there is hope.

Emperor Hongwen held his little hand.

Her eyes turned and she turned to Fangfei's side - she only saw her tightly closed mouth, which was also her habit. Whenever she was nervous, she always did this, almost her teeth were broken, and she didn't

People see it.

"Fangfei...Fangfei...I have always been thinking about you...Fangfei..."

She could no longer hold back and she burst into tears.

But he quickly wiped the sleeves dry out inadvertently.

"Your Majesty, you should take the medicine first..."

"Fangfei... This time I was on the front line of Jianghuai, facing a desperate situation and was in a state of great difficulty. One night, I suddenly dreamed of you... By the way, I dreamed of you being sacrificed... In less than three days, the Southern Dynasties army was hit by the dam breaking.

, More than 300,000 people died or injured…”

Hong'er clapped his hands: "Really? Father, Empress Dowager and I have to pray for you in Zhenwu Square every day..."

Emperor Hongwen's eyes lit up: "No wonder, I always felt that someone was protecting me invisibly... It turned out that it was you mother and son who were praying for me..."

"Yes, Father, the Queen Mother and I pray every day and never stop. The Queen Mother said, you will definitely return in triumph..."

His eyes finally raised from his heavy neck and saw her eyes.

For the first time I felt the kind of tender power in these eyes - perseverance, gentleness, sincerity and power...

He was actually stunned.

I remember many years ago when I was in the Prince's Mansion.

Only when she was seriously ill was like this - she never looked like this since she left the prince's mansion.

It's been a long time since I was missing.

He forgot what he wanted to say for a moment, and only looked at the familiar light. Soon, he found that the fear passed by his eyes was slightly and could not be concealed.

Even tears cannot hide fear.

His voice was surprisingly gentle: "Hong'er, don't be afraid... Fangfei, don't be afraid... You will be fine, you will be fine..."

"Father, I want you to be well... the Queen Mother and I are both good..."

The child thought he was confused and was talking nonsense.

Emperor Hongwen laughed and drank the medicine in one breath.

Those rich medicinal juices had no effect, but he refused - perhaps, he could not refuse such eyes - such terrified and restless eyes.

That was the look of my dear Fangfei.

Instead of the trembling eyes of the imperial doctors.

Her horror was different from them, and it was caused by a strong love.

Such eyes made his heart tremble and despair - unwilling to give up, but helpless.

Just snuggling beside her, like a weak child.

It's been a long time since no one made a sound.

His silence, Honger's silence, Fangfei's silence - it seems to be a strangely peaceful tacit understanding.

The family of three, so that's it.

He quietly reached out his hand, hugged her inadvertently, and hugged him—two dearest people—
