After hearing Bei Mingchen call her mother, the empress was stunned for a moment. She suddenly stopped what she was doing and stopped drinking tea.
The queen wanted to put the cup of tea on the table, but whether it was because she was too nervous or just too tired, the queen's hands couldn't help but trembled, and the tea accidentally spilled on the table.
At this moment, Bei Mingchen noticed the Queen's fatigue. The Queen, who always paid attention to her image, looked particularly embarrassed and haggard today.
"Good boy," the queen paused for a moment and continued, "you'd better go in and take a look for yourself!"
As she spoke, the queen pointed her finger into the room.
Bei Mingchen did not hesitate, nor did he pay attention to so many etiquettes, and walked directly into the house. He was really too confused now.
After entering, Bei Mingchen was stunned. At this moment, his father Bei Mingshuo was lying weakly on the bed. His father looked very quiet, and he was lying quietly on the bed.
At this moment, the room seemed extremely quiet, and they could only hear each other's breathing.
Bei Mingchen was a little at a loss for a while. He really couldn't understand what happened these days.
Just a few months ago, when he entered the palace, he saw that his father was still so handsome and energetic. However, when he saw his father again now, he was still so handsome.
The whole person looked lifeless at all, his lips were a little white, and his father's face was extremely white.
Bei Mingshuo didn't even look like he was asleep, but more like he was dead. Bei Mingchen instinctively put his hand under his nose.
Fortunately, his father was still breathing and he was still there. Bei Mingchen took a long breath of relief and took his hand back.
"What, what's going on?" Bei Mingchen lowered his voice and asked the queen beside him.
"Maybe it's because of busy government affairs, or maybe there are other reasons."
The queen still looked intently in the direction of Bei Mingshuo, smiled stiffly, and spoke as lightly as possible about her guess. However, there was still a hint of panic between her brows.
Although His Majesty does not often stay with the Queen, either dealing with government affairs or staying with other concubines, the Queen still misses His Majesty very much.
"Imperial Physician! Where is the Imperial Physician? Did the Queen Mother seek help from the Imperial Physician? What did they say?" Bei Mingchen continued to ask anxiously.
"Those imperial doctors have limited abilities, and they are helpless to deal with your Majesty's situation."
Speaking of the imperial doctors, the Empress laughed coldly. They are just ordinary people. How capable can they be?
Even a layperson like the queen could understand the medicines used by the imperial doctors. The medicines they used were just simple medicinal materials used for conditioning, and the dosage was also cautious, for fear of causing side effects.
In this way, it must be because the imperial doctors did not know how to deal with His Majesty's situation, so they chose to use this more conservative method to save His Majesty's life for the time being, and then slowly treat him.
"My child, please don't make any noise about this matter for now. I hurriedly summoned you to the palace today just to inform you about this matter."
"Don't worry, mother, I know this matter well."
Bei Mingchen said softly. As he spoke, he tucked his father's quilt considerately.
"Mother, may I allow my son to accompany my father here?" Bei Mingchen pursed his lips and said softly.
"That's all, if you are willing, that would be great, just stay."
After saying that, the queen smiled lightly and agreed to Bei Mingchen's request. This was the most harmonious time the two of them had gotten along with each other over the years.
"Mother, why don't you go back to your room and take a rest? You must be exhausted these days, right?" Bei Mingchen smiled politely and said.
"Okay, kid, you have to take care of yourself too."
These days, the Queen has been busy with His Majesty's affairs, and she is indeed a little tired. Today, she will leave this place to this child. In addition, by now, all the princes in the capital have also learned about this matter. She
It's really time to take a rest.
After saying that, the queen left, leaving Bei Mingchen alone quietly guarding Bei Mingshuo's bed.
Bei Mingshuo always seemed to be asleep. This time, Bei Mingshuo slept for a long time. He was in a coma for a whole day.
However, Bei Mingshuo himself felt that he slept longer, as if he had slept for half his life.
On this day, Bei Mingshuo seemed to have experienced the first half of his life again. He dreamed about things that happened very long ago. He even dreamed about things in his childhood and what he had suffered in the palace in the early years.
Despite people's neglect, I dreamed of those years of loneliness and helplessness.
Bei Mingshuo also dreamed about the things that happened when he was a boy, about the mistakes he made when he was young and frivolous. When he dreamed about these, he even frowned tightly subconsciously.
Later, Bei Mingshuo also dreamed about the things that happened just after he ascended the throne. At that time, although he was the Ninth Five Supreme Being, he lived more like a puppet, at the mercy of others.
Of course, Bei Mingshuo also dreamed about Concubine Lan, the love of his life, and their unfortunate child, his biggest regret in life. Although those days were only a few years, those years were very important to him.
But it was like a nightmare, the most unforgettable time in the first half of his life...
Thinking of this, Bei Mingshuo's brows furrowed even more tightly. No matter how anxious Bei Mingchen called him from the side, he remained indifferent. He just closed his eyes tightly and furrowed his brows.
The experiences of the first half of his life were like a marquee, flashing through Bei Mingshuo's mind one after another.
…
Finally, Bei Mingshuo still couldn't let go of those ties and things. Bei Mingshuo woke up suddenly, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat as big as beans.
"Father, you finally woke up."
Bei Mingchen saw Bei Mingshuo opening his eyes and calling happily to the side. Anyway, his father finally woke up, so that's good.
"Chen'er." Bei Mingshuo called him softly and gently put his hand on the back of Bei Mingchen's hand.
"My father, my son and his ministers are here. My sons and ministers are here. Do you want me to go find the imperial doctor? Or if my father wants to eat something, just say it."
Seeing that his father finally woke up, Bei Mingchen was very happy. He was a little at a loss for a while, and kept saying one thing and another.
"It doesn't matter, I have nothing to do."
Bei Mingshuo sat up slowly and spoke weakly. At this moment, he looked straight at Bei Mingchen with eyes full of love. Fortunately, fortunately, everything just now was just a dream, just a nightmare.
Fortunately, Chen'er is still here fine.
For a moment, Bei Mingshuo actually had such a selfish streak. He wanted to put down everything in his hands, his dominance, and everything. He wanted the people in front of him to be well, and he only hoped that their children could be well.
. I hope nothing will happen to Chen'er.
As he watched, the corners of Bei Mingshuo's mouth began to rise slightly.
"Father, what's going on? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Is your body really okay?" Bei Mingchen continued to ask.
"It's nothing. My father is already so old. It's just some old problems. Don't worry." Bei Mingshuo said lightly.
"Then, what are your orders, Father?"
"It's nothing, nothing. Don't worry, kid. I just need to rest for a few days and I'll be fine."
"Oh, that's good." After hearing this, Bei Mingchen breathed a sigh of relief.
"Good boy, there's nothing going on here, father. You can go back first. I'll just have a good rest here alone."
Bei Mingshuo patted Bei Mingchen's hand gently and said there. Before Bei Mingchen left, he was still a little worried and confessed again, with soft eyes, full of the love of a father.
"My child, I have wronged you by living outside the palace these years. You must take care of yourself."
"Father, I am no longer a child, so of course I understand what you are saying."
Bei Mingchen said simply, then left the palace and returned to the palace.
On the other side, there was also a person waiting bitterly for Bei Mingchen in the palace.
Xiyan originally thought that Bei Mingchen would come back soon after entering the palace this time. However, Xiyan waited around in the palace but couldn't wait for Bei Mingchen to come back.
At first, in the afternoon, Xiyan was just busy with gardenia. She had worked so hard for so long, even risking half of her and Shuojin's lives, to raise a gardenia.
Just be cautious.
Xi Yan must extract this gardenia bone as soon as possible and make it into pills, so that its medicinal effect can be retained and it can be preserved for a long time.
The busy time passed by very quickly, and the afternoon passed quickly. By the time Xiyan finished all this work, it was already evening.
It was a pity that Bei Mingchen still hadn't come back at that time. They had agreed to go back quickly and they had agreed to have dinner together, but now she was left alone in the entire palace.
When Bei Mingchen didn't come back for a while, she couldn't feel at ease for a while.
In this way, Xiyan waited from day to night, and waited all night, but unfortunately Bei Mingchen did not come back.
By the time Bei Mingchen hurried back from the palace in the morning of the next day, Xiyan had already fallen asleep on the table in the main hall.
What a silly girl!
As soon as Bei Mingchen walked into the room, he saw Miss Xiyan crawling on the table. He couldn't help but sigh, walked forward, took off his coat and put it on her shoulders.
"My lord, you are back."
Xiyan woke up suddenly and said happily. However, the light in Xiyan's eyes only flickered. Looking at Bei Mingchen's complicated expression, her eyes quickly dimmed again.
