Yinzhen put the empty bowl aside and said with a smile: "It seems that Wan Yue's craftsmanship is very good, which makes the Queen's wife so generous in praising her."
Wu Yashi said sympathetically: "It's not because of the appearance, but because of the emperor's heart. The Ai family has not been as happy as tonight for a long time. I really hope that I can talk to the emperor like this every day."
Every day... these two words made Yinzhen's heart twitch, and he forced a smile and said: "If the emperor likes it, I will come here to pay you respects every day."
"Yes." Wu Yashi nodded and said, "It's very late. The emperor should go back, otherwise there will be no time to sleep. The Ai family is also a little sleepy."
"Yes." Yinzhen stood up and said, "Then, Queen Mother, please rest."
Looking at Yinzhen's back, Wu Yashi laughed softly until Wanyue wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and said: "Queen Mother, why do you shed tears so easily? Aren't you supposed to be happy that the emperor is so filial to you?
?”
Wu Yashi choked with sobs and said, "The Ai family is happy. I don't know how happy the Ai family is. The emperor has not forgotten the mother-in-law of the Ai family."
"The Emperor always remembers the Queen Mother." Wan Yue said softly, "During the severe drought in the capital, ice was reduced in every part of the harem. Only the Queen Mother's place was supplied with ice as usual, even a few more than usual.
Block. Also, I heard that the emperor often sent Eunuch Su and others to the imperial kitchen to inquire about the Queen Mother’s meals. As soon as they found out there was something the Queen Mother didn’t like to eat, she asked them to think of new dishes immediately.”
Wu Yashi finally stopped crying and said: "Even you understand things, but the Ai family still don't understand, and they always think that the emperor is not good. Do you think the Ai family are old fools?"
Wanyue said with a smile: "I don't dare, I don't dare. Besides, isn't the Queen Mother's heart like a bright mirror now?!"
Wu Ya nodded and said: "Yes, fortunately the Ai family understands now, and finally they are not confused all their lives. In the future, the Ai family will treat the emperor like Yunqi."
Late Qiu served Wu Yashi and lay down. While tucking her quilt, he said, "If the emperor hears these words from the Queen Mother, I don't know how happy he will be."
"Even if you don't say it, the emperor will know about it one day." At this point, Wu Yashi frowned and said softly: "I just ate so many noodles, and now I seem a little uncomfortable."
"Does it hurt again?" Wan Yue asked. When Wu Yashi nodded, she said with concern, "Why don't you ask the imperial doctor on duty to take a look at the Queen Mother?"
Wu Yashi said disapprovingly: "That's all, when the imperial doctor comes, why don't you prescribe those painful medicines that make people's mouth numb? It will pass if you endure it. You can go down and Aijia can just take a nap."
Wan Yue tried to persuade her a few more times, but when Wu Yashi refused, she had to say: "That slave is going down. If the Queen Mother has anything to do, just call her."
Wu Yashi snorted softly and closed her eyes. Wanyue left a candle outside the tent and went to the side room to rest. Because there were thunderous explosions in the night sky from time to time, plus the heavy rain, Wanyue fell asleep.
I'm not stable, I'm always in a daze, I don't know what to do
After a while, I suddenly heard the sound of something breaking. Wanyue immediately sat up from the bed with excitement. But when she listened again, there was nothing except the sound of wind, rain and thunder. Could it be that she had heard something wrong?
, or did you regard the voice in the dream as reality?
After thinking about it, she was still a little worried, so she simply put on her clothes and got out of bed, and walked quietly to Wu Yashi's bedroom. When she lifted the curtain and saw Wu Yashi's condition clearly through the weak candlelight, she was shocked.
I saw half of Wu Ya's body leaning out of the bed, her hair disheveled, her hands falling softly to the ground. The tea cup that should have been placed on the small table beside the bed smashed to pieces on the ground. The sound she heard before should be this.
In addition to the fragments of the tea cup, there was also a large pool of vomit, which must have been the noodles that had been eaten just now. However, when they were vomited out, the noodles had already been stained with an alarming sallow color.
"Queen Mother! Queen Mother!" Wan Yue ran over quickly, bypassing the debris and vomit to help Wu Yashi up. She saw her eyes were closed tightly and her face was like gold paper. What was even more shocking was that not only her face, but also her face was like gold paper.
The skin exposed outside the pajamas was sallow.
No matter how Wanyue called, Wu Yashi didn't respond at all. Instead, she called in the palace servants who were keeping watch outside. Wanyue made a prompt decision and ordered them to call the imperial doctor immediately, while she stayed by Wu Yashi's side.
The lights that went out in Cining Palace were turned on again in the wind and rain due to Wu Yashi's coma, and they were not extinguished until dawn.
In the Chengqian Palace, Ling Ruo fell into a particularly deep sleep because of something on his mind. When he woke up, the thunder and rain had stopped outside. Only the rain on the ground outside proved that there had been a heavy rain last night.
It rained; but precisely because of this rain, the heat that had been hanging in the air since the beginning of summer was dissipated a lot, and even if there were no ice cubes, you could still feel a little bit of coolness.
After washing up, Ling Ruo opened the door and walked out. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. The fresh scent of grass and trees with water vapor was all under her nose. Several birds stopped on the cherry tree and were chirping.
In the courtyard, Mo'er was directing a few palace attendants who had just arrived to sweep the leaves that had been knocked down by the heavy rain last night. Seeing her directing the palace attendants to move around, Ling Ruo shook her head and smiled, and said to Shui Xiu who was following behind her step by step:
"Look at this girl. She's not very young, but she can command people in a decent way."
Shui Xiu smiled and said: "Mo'er is much more capable now than before. With her here, slave and Shui Xiu are much more relaxed. I still remember that when Mo'er first came here, he didn't understand anything, and he behaved and spoke like the villagers."
Like a wild boy, two years have passed in the blink of an eye, it’s really fast.”
Ling Ruo said silently: "Yeah, sometimes I think about it, time flies so fast. When you first came to me, I was just a princess who couldn't get on the stage."
Shui Xiu smiled and said: "Now that the master is one of the most noble empresses in the palace, and with the fourth elder brother at his knees, I don't know how much envy he has aroused."
"It's more accurate to say jealousy than envy." Ling Ruo corrected and then said: "But it doesn't matter, this palace is the place where jealousy is the deepest and heaviest. Just look at Concubine Nian and you will know.
My brother is dead, but no one in the palace really pities her, so she is lucky enough not to rejoice in her misfortune."
While they were talking, Yang Hai walked in from outside and called Ling Ruo: "Master, something happened in Cining Palace last night."
Ling Ruo hurriedly asked what was going on, and Yang Hai said: "I don't know yet. I only know that the Queen Mother's phoenix body is against the rules. The imperial doctor went there overnight last night and is still staying in Cining Palace. The emperor has to go to court in the morning."
Unable to pass, I sent Eunuch Xi to go there, and the Queen Mother also went there. It seems that the Queen Mother is seriously ill."
Ling Ruo thought for a moment and said, "Let's go over and have a look."
