Feng Shaojun used a fire stick to light several candlesticks in the room. The bright candles illuminated the room as bright as day. Eunuch Yang was still awake on the bed.
Doctor Li quietly took back all the golden needles and went to make a bowl of ginseng soup himself.
Feng Shaojun took the bowl and fed it into Eunuch Yang's mouth little by little.
Most of the ginseng soup slipped from the corner of Eunuch Yang's mouth, and the quilt beside his pillow soon became wet.
Feng Shaojun's eyes were filled with water and his voice was choked with sobs: "Father, foster father, please open your eyes and look at me."
Since Eunuch Yang fell ill, Dr. Li has been treating Eunuch Yang and prescribing prescriptions to prolong his life. Now seeing that Eunuch Yang is about to return to the west, as a doctor, he feels quite heavy.
Feng Shaojun called his adoptive father again and again. Doctor Li felt pity in his heart and whispered: "I'm afraid Eunuch Yang can't hear your voice at this time."
Feng Shaojun seemed not to have heard anything and continued to whisper persistently: "Father, please wake up."
Maybe it was her persistence that moved God. Or maybe it was because Eunuch Yang was still attached to the human world. As Feng Shaojun called one after another, Eunuch Yang's eyelids moved and he slowly opened his eyes.
"San'er," Eunuch Yang's voice was extremely weak.
Feng Shaojun was surprised and happy, tears suddenly welled up in his eyes: "Father!"
Eunuch Yang responded with a trembling voice: "My foster father is about to leave. San'er, don't cry."
Feng Shaojun burst into tears and held Eunuch Yang's hand tightly.
Knowing that this was Eunuch Yang's last moment of recovery, Doctor Li silently got up and went out, leaving his last moments to the righteous father and son.
At the last moment of his life, Eunuch Yang had a strange blush on his face, and his eyes suddenly became bright: "San'er, our family grew up in a village outside the capital. In the famine years, our family was too poor.
We had no choice but to sell our family to Ren Yazi. Later, our family was sold to the palace and became a chamberlain."
"When our family came to His Highness King Yan, we gradually gained favor from our master. Our family also sent people to look for our biological parents. Unexpectedly, our parents and younger siblings all starved to death in the famine years. Our family is gone.
Think about it and serve your master wholeheartedly."
"My master has gone from King Yan to Crown Prince, and then to the throne as emperor, step by step for decades. Our family has also worked hard. Now I close my eyes and ask myself whether I am worthy of my master."
"Our family has nothing to worry about. The only thing we worry about is you."
Eunuch Yang took a few hard breaths, and the blush on his face became even worse. It was like an oil lamp, using the last oil to burn out the last light: "San'er, our family has asked the emperor for an imperial edict for you. Don't be upset.
When our family dies and the funeral arrangements are completed, the Emperor will give you an edict, and you will accept the edict with gratitude."
"Our family hopes that you will never need this imperial edict. However, if there is an emergency, you can always save your life."
This is the amulet that her adoptive father spent his whole life working hard to obtain for her.
Feng Shaojun choked and couldn't speak, and his hands kept shaking.
Eunuch Yang finally finished all his words, and the luster in his eyes gradually faded: "San'er, before we leave, I am satisfied to have you by my side for such a period of time. If our family dies, don't be too sad...
"
The sound became weaker and weaker, and finally became inaudible.
The hand Feng Shaojun held was limp and dropped.
Eunuch Yang closed his eyes with peace of mind.
Feng Shaojun knelt beside the bed and burst into tears.
…
The news of Eunuch Yang's death quickly reached the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Emperor Qing'an's face turned pale, and he suddenly stood up and walked out. The prince, Eunuch Shao, and others hurriedly followed him.
It was completely dark, and the palace shrouded in night looked majestic and solemn. Outside the house where Eunuch Yang lived, several servants were kneeling and crying softly.
Emperor Qing'an closed his eyes forcefully, pushed the door open and entered the house.
Feng Shaojun knelt beside the bed and cried silently.
Eunuch Yang was lying on the bed, his eyes closed and his face peaceful, as if he was asleep.
Emperor Qing'an stood by the bed and closed his eyes hard. After a while, he opened them and said in a hoarse voice: "Feng San'er, there is no resurrection after death. Please take care of Yang Jinghe's funeral!"
Feng Shaojun didn't seem to hear anything, he still knelt and didn't move.
Emperor Qing'an closed his eyes again.
I don't know how long it took before Feng Shaojun stood up and said, "I want to cleanse my adoptive father and change his clothes so that he can leave cleanly and decently. Your Majesty, please go back and rest!"
As the emperor, it is a great grace to come to see Eunuch Yang off for the last time. It is not appropriate to appear again in the aftermath of the funeral.
Emperor Qing'an's throat seemed to be blocked, and it took him a while to squeeze out a sentence: "When the funeral is over, you can come back to the palace to see me."
Feng Shaojun responded in a low voice.
Emperor Qing'an glanced at Eunuch Yang one last time, and then walked away. His steps were slow and weak.
The person who had been with him for forty years just passed away. From then on, there was no longer Yang Jinghe by his side who knew his heart and was loyal to him.
Warm liquid rushed to the corners of his eyes, and was blown back by the cool breeze.
Emperor Qing'an stood for a while, feeling confused, and subconsciously walked towards Jiaofang Hall.
Queen Yuan had just finished dinner and was about to take a bath and change clothes. Suddenly she heard that Emperor Qing'an was coming. Queen Yuan was a little surprised and hurriedly went out to greet him.
The couple has been together for decades and know each other well.
When Queen Yuan saw Emperor Qing'an, she was shocked: "What's wrong with you?"
Emperor Qing'an's face was dejected and his eyes were red: "Yang Jinghe has gone."
Queen Yuan was stunned at first, and then her eyes turned red: "He has served you for decades and suddenly left like this. Not to mention you, even I feel uncomfortable."
Emperor Qing'an was speechless, stepped forward and hugged Queen Yuan.
Yes, the departure of Yang Jinghe made him more sad and sad than the departure of King Qin and King Han.
At this time, any words of comfort seemed feeble. Empress Yuan said nothing and accompanied Emperor Qing'an silently.
Emperor Qing'an couldn't sleep all night. When he got up the next morning, he felt dizzy and uncomfortable.
Empress Yuan stretched out her hand to touch Emperor Qing'an's forehead and was suddenly startled: "Why is your head so hot? You must have a fever." She hurriedly ordered the palace officials to invite the imperial doctor.
Emperor Qing'an had always been in good health and rarely got sick. This time, due to internal and external worries, the illness came unexpectedly.
Naturally, I couldn't make it to the morning session today.
Zhu Yun came to the Jiaofang Palace and wanted to wait beside the bed. Emperor Qing'an kicked him out: "There are a lot of memorials in the Taihe Palace. You go and approve the memorials. Don't hang around in front of my eyes."
Zhu Yun had no choice but to take the order and go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
After entering the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Zhu Yun immediately noticed something was wrong: "What happened? Why are there suddenly so many servants missing?"
Eunuch Shao, who stayed in the palace, reported in a low voice: "Eunuch Yang went there last night and was transported out of the palace for burial at midnight. Eunuch Wang led a group of servants to see off Eunuch Yang."
Zhu Yun let out a long sigh.
For as long as he can remember, Eunuch Yang has been his father's confidant and has been with him for decades. Eunuch Yang suddenly left. No wonder his father is so depressed.
