After a long time, Yinzhen rolled up the scroll and asked Si Xisheng to put it away. He took the Buddhist scriptures on the table and started reading them. These days, only the Buddhist scriptures could make him calm down and no longer be troubled by sadness.
Just after turning two pages, someone knocked on the door outside. Without waiting for Yinzhen's instructions, Sixi walked over quickly. After a while, he said to Yinzhen: "Your Majesty, Concubine Jin is outside asking for an audience."
Yinzhen raised his head and said: "Let her come in."
"Hey!" Si Xi responded, opening the door of the palace and letting Guarjia walk in. After the latter came in and saw the ceremony, he took the food box from Cong Xiang's hand and said, "I made some snacks and brought them here specially.
Come here and give it to the Emperor to taste."
Seeing Guarjia, Yinzhen said with a rare smile: "It's the first day of the Lunar New Year, why are you still cooking by yourself?"
"Which Qing law stipulates that no one is allowed to cook on the first day of the Lunar New Year?" As he said this, Guarjia took out the snacks and placed them on the small table. Seeing this, Yinzhen said: "Just leave them all.
, I have just had lunch with the officials in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and I am feeling full."
"The emperor feels full even if he doesn't eat." Guarjia shook her head, walked to Yinzhen with a plate of silver cakes, and said softly: "I know that the emperor has no appetite, but I still ask the emperor to take a few bites.
In order to avoid starving the body, the Qing Dynasty depends on the emperor to take care of it. The emperor must take care of the dragon body."
"You always have a lot of reasons to persuade me." Saying this, Yinzhen twisted a piece of silver cake and put it in his mouth. During this period, he had no appetite for anything. Only Guarjia persuaded him.
He would only take a few bites when the time came, not guar
The food made by Jiashi is so delicious because Guerjia was the person Ling Ruo trusted most during his lifetime. Now that Ling Ruo is gone, the only thing he can do is to be as good to her family and Guerjia as possible.
, just think of it as a little compensation for Ling Ruo.
After eating two pieces, Yinzhen shook his head and said: "I really can't eat anymore, just take it down."
After Guarjia handed the plate to Sixi to take it down, she sighed softly: "It has been so many days, and the emperor still can't let go of it? In fact, Empress Xiaoshengxian has a soul in heaven, so she may not want to see her.
The emperor is like this, and I believe that if Empress Xiaoshengxian knew the whole story, she would definitely not blame the emperor again."
Yinzhen leaned back on the wide chair and said: "Even if she doesn't blame me, I can't forgive myself. If I hadn't been self-righteous and thought that everything could be controlled, how could it have turned into today's situation? Everything is mine.
Wrong, I couldn’t be more wrong.”
"It is true that the Emperor made a mistake, but the mistake has been made. It is useless even if the Emperor blames himself. He still needs to look away." She also hated Yinzhen before, and hated him for not believing in Ling Ruo and even wanted to die.
Ling Ruo, after learning the truth and seeing what Yinzhen did for Ling Ruo, she began to sympathize with Yinzhen. He really loved Ling Ruo, so he was so painful after indirectly killing Ling Ruo.
.
Seeing that Yinzhen didn't speak, Guarjia persuaded again: "I just asked the palace servants outside and said that the emperor only touched a few chopsticks and then stopped eating today. You are always hungry like this, and your body will be weak sooner or later."
It will collapse. When the time comes, who should take care of the country that Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong finally conquered? 2.
Brother? Do you really think he can manage such a huge country now? When Huang Ama chose the emperor to inherit the throne among more than 20 princes, he believed that the emperor could make the Qing Dynasty more prosperous. Could it be that
Do you want to disappoint Huang Ama? Or do you mean that you don’t even care about the Qing Dynasty’s foundation?”
Yinzhen listened to her in silence, and after she finished speaking, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "In your words, I seem to have become a sinner through the ages, and the kind of sin that is unforgivable!"
"I don't dare! I just want to persuade the emperor." Guarjia bowed and said with a hint of sobs: "The emperor already has a queen who has failed to fulfill her filial piety. Please don't fail the people of the world again."
Yinzhen stood up while holding on to the table. The originally well-fitting dragon robe was now a bit empty on his body. His hands exposed outside the sleeves were only skin and bones, with almost no flesh visible. Not only because of the illness, but also because of the illness.
Because he hasn't eaten much recently, his body is getting weaker day by day.
Yinzhen raised his hands, looked at the bony hands and said: "Yun Yue, do I look a little scary now?"
Guarjia tried her best to hold back the sourness in her eyes and said: "In my heart, the emperor will always be the high-spirited fourth elder brother back then, and has never changed. I have nothing to ask for now, I just want to spend more time with the emperor.
A few years." At this point, she knelt down and said: "So, I beg the emperor to take care of the dragon body and stop torturing yourself."
Seeing Guarjia kneeling down, Sixi who was standing below also knelt down quickly and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, I beg you to listen to Concubine Jin's advice and take care of your dragon body."
"You..." Yinzhen only said two words, but he didn't know how to continue. After a long time, he wiped his face and said: "Everyone, get up."
"Your Majesty..." Before Guarjia could continue, Yinzhen said: "I know what you mean, get up. Just like you said, I have already betrayed one person and cannot bear more people. Wait until
When Hongshi can support this heavy burden, I will hand it over to him."
When Guarjia heard this, a big stone finally fell in her heart. After she wiped away the tears in her eyes, she said happily: "It would be great if the emperor could think like this."
However, the second half of Yinzhen's words made her heart sink slightly. Yinzhen really planned to hand over the throne to Hongshi. Among all the princes now, only Hongshi is the most suitable. Although Hongzhou is also good, but
His mother-in-law was not of high birth and had no power in the court, so it was difficult for her to compete with Hongshi. As for Hongzhan, the Liu family did have some wealth, but it was a pity that Hongzhan was too young and could not even walk now.
In the end, will Nala become the final winner?
These thoughts flashed through Guarjia's heart and were not shown on her face. Although she now has Yinzhen's trust, these words are too sensitive and cannot be said casually. She can only take it one step at a time.
Yinzhen didn't know these thoughts in Guarjia's heart. After Ming Sixi brought the cakes and ate a few more pieces, Yinzhen wiped his hands and said, "I wonder if Old Seventeen can bring Hanyan back. If so,
If possible, I will
I can be considered worthy of Concubine Huixian." At this point, Yinzhen suddenly smiled bitterly and said: "Speaking of it, I have sorry for many people, Concubine Huixian is like this, and so is Ling Ruo. Yunyue, have you ever blamed me?
?”
Guarjia smiled and said: "For so many years, if there is no trace of resentment, it must be to prevaricate the emperor. But now I have taken a dim view of many things. Just like what I just said, I only hope that there will be more
After staying with the emperor for several years, after all, apart from family members outside the palace, I have only one relative left with the emperor."
