Jia Ke felt very sad since he knew that Qin Keqing was about to die soon, but he was too embarrassed to go to see Qin Keqing. After all, Qin Keqing's current situation was all caused by him.
But after all, Jia Ke had been married to Qin Keqing for many years, so although he was embarrassed to meet in person, he kept sending various precious medicines to Kunning Palace to express his care for Qin Keqing.
After Qin Keqing received the gift from Jia Ke, he only glanced at it lightly and had it sent to the warehouse.
Now Qin Keqing takes Chu King Jia Zhi with him almost all the time, often teaching him the hardships of life, and also saying some words about the harsh world and the evil people's hearts.
Ruizhu, who was following them, often shed tears when she saw this situation, because it seemed to Ruizhu that Qin Keqing was explaining the funeral arrangements.
Ruizhu knew Qin Keqing's situation during this period. During the day, she held on in front of King Jia Zhi of Chu, as if nothing happened, but at night she kept moaning while lying on the bed.
Sometimes Ruizhu also hates Jia Ke. How can a person be so cruel and harm such a kind-hearted young lady like this?
And the King of Chu, Jiazhi, was no longer an ignorant child. He had already felt that his mother was not good, so every time Qin Keqing taught him, he would remember it carefully with tears in his eyes.
One night, after Qin Keqing sent Chu King Jia Zhi away, he took Ruizhu's hand and said, "Sister, although we are called master and servant, we are actually sisters. Fortunately, you have been by my side these years."
Ruizhu also started to cry when she heard Qin Keqing say such words: "Mother, please stop talking. It's better to rest now. The imperial doctor said that your illness is caused by too much thinking."
Qin Keqing shook his head, and then said to Ruizhu: "Sister, don't stop me. If I don't say it now, I won't have the strength to say it in the future."
Ruizhu burst into tears when she heard this, and even her words began to choke.
Qin Keqing smiled and patted Ruizhu's hand, and then said like coaxing a child: "Why are you crying?"
Ruizhu couldn't bear it anymore when she heard this. She threw herself to the bed and started crying.
Qin Keqing didn't stop Ruizhu from crying when she heard it. Instead, she lay on the bed and started to cry. She originally thought that her life would end happily, but she didn't expect that fate would play tricks on people.
Jia Ke has become more and more ruthless since he became emperor. Her younger brother was considered a young talent, but he was dealt with by Jia Ke.
Like this, Qin Keqing has never encountered his own relatives killing each other.
After a long time, Ruizhu, who was lying on the side, finally came to her senses. She knew that she had lost her composure, so she quickly wiped her tears and said to Qin Keqing with a forced smile: "Your Majesty, I just lost my composure."
"It's okay to cry, so that you don't hold your anger in your heart and end up getting sick like me."
After Qin Keqing comforted Man Ruizhu, he continued: "I have entrusted the King of Chu to the imperial concubine Shi Xiangyun, but I am still a little worried. Now Shi Xiangyun is still the imperial concubine? If she really becomes the queen under my arrangement, what will happen in the future?
After giving birth to a child, our Jia Zhi will probably be a thorn in the flesh."
After hearing this, Ruizhu thought for a moment and said, "In this case, why does the empress need to help Shi Xiangyun?"
"In our harem, there are only two people who have the chance to become queens now. Xue Baochai looks simple and honest, but in fact she is cunning inside. If she becomes the queen, I am afraid that our King Chu will not have any good fruits to eat."
Qin Keqing coughed after saying this, and Ruizhu hurried over, sat on the bed, and patted her back gently, trying to relieve her pain.
Qin Keqing coughed for a while, then reluctantly stopped, and then continued: "Compared to this, Shi Xiangyun is still a kind-hearted person. Even after she became the queen, she didn't want to see our King Chu, and she didn't use any means. Too much
It’s too difficult for us Jiazhi.”
After Ruizhu listened, she nodded. She finally understood Qin Keqing's arrangement.
Qin Keqing looked at the beams of the main hall, as if talking to himself, or explaining to Ruizhu: "But we can't place all our hopes on others."
Qin Keqing said, looking up at the Ruizhu, he saw that although the Ruizhu was not very beautiful, its eyes were now red, and it also had a pitiful aura.
"Ruizhu, when I am about to die, the emperor will definitely come. At that time, I will ask the emperor to accept you as his concubine."
When Ruizhu heard what Qin Keqing said, she was so frightened that she immediately fell to her knees, kowtowed to Qin Keqing repeatedly, and then swore an oath.
"Your Highness Mingjian, slave, if I have this intention, I will be struck by lightning and die badly."
Qin Keqing saw Ruizhu kneeling on the ground and kowtowing repeatedly. She was so anxious that she held the bed with one hand and waved to Ruizhu with the other.
"Get up, what are you doing? You're trying to scare me to death."
Seeing that Qin Keqing was really anxious, Ruizhu hurried over and helped Qin Keqing lie down on the bed again.
Qin Keqing lay back on the bed and then said: "Good sister, listen to me. Although I entrusted the King of Chu to Shi Xiangyun, it is better to rely on others than to rely on myself. Maybe now Shi Xiangyun thinks of me well and can take care of our King of Chu."
.But as time goes by, if Shi Xiangyun has another child of his own, our King of Chu may not be welcome. Then you will have to take care of him in the palace, but if you don’t have a title, you just want to
I can’t help you. So I thought of recommending you to the emperor at the last moment, so that you can have a status, and at least the king of Chu will also have a place in the future."
After hearing this, Ruizhu knew that Qin Keqing was doing her last favor, so she could only nod her head with tears in her eyes.
Qin Keqing was satisfied when she saw Ruizhu agreeing. After that, she smiled and fell into coma again.
Ruizhu was shocked when she saw Qin Keqing fell into coma again, and hurriedly ordered someone to ask the imperial doctor to be at Kunning Palace at any time.
After a while, a middle-aged imperial doctor hurried in with a medicine box. He came to Qin Keqing's bed and immediately put his hand on Qin Keqing's pulse gate. He didn't care about the protection of men and women and the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers.
.
After a while, the imperial doctor stretched out his hand to open Qin Keqing's eyelids and took a look. Then his face turned pale and he was sweating all over.
Ruizhu on the side saw this scene and immediately became unhappy, "How is the Queen? Why don't you use medicine and acupuncture quickly?"
After hearing this, the imperial doctor said with an ugly face: "I'm afraid something is not right with the Queen. In my opinion, I'd better report it to the Emperor as soon as possible."
When Ruizhu heard this, her face immediately turned pale, but at this time she could only hold on, so she hurriedly ordered someone to report Qin Keqing's current situation to Jia Ke.
As a result, the little eunuch who went to report the news came back later. It turned out that they didn't know where Jia Ke was resting.
After hearing this, Ruizhu was so angry that she just stamped her feet, but she was helpless. Where in the palace Jia Ke slept at night was a huge secret. Although she was the queen's envoy, she had no right to inquire.
Ruizhu managed to calm down for a moment, and then asked: "Who is on duty with the emperor today?"
The eunuch thought for a while and then said: "I saw that this morning in the Yangxin Hall, Eunuch Li Deshan was serving the emperor."
After hearing this, Ruizhu immediately said to the eunuch: "Then you go to Li Gui immediately. He used to be the emperor's personal servant when he was in the submarine. At that time, the queen took great care of him. Now it's time for him to repay him."
When I was the queen."
After the eunuch was fed, he immediately ran out of Kunning Palace at Zhu's command, and soon arrived outside Li Gui's residence in the palace.
Li Gui's status in the palace is not trivial. But he was sleeping inside, and there were people on duty outside.
When the person on duty saw the young eunuch from Kunning Palace running over in a hurry, he immediately stepped forward to stop him: "Why are you here in such a hurry? You have disturbed Eunuch Li, do you still want your head?"
Seeing that he was stopped, the little eunuch immediately gasped and collapsed on the ground, "Hurry and report to Eunuch Li. The Queen is not well. We don't know where the emperor is resting, so we asked Eunuch Li to go in and report."
The eunuch on duty was shocked when he heard this. He did not dare to neglect Li, so he immediately entered the inner house and kept knocking on the door of Li Guigui's bedroom.
Li Gui was woken up in his sleep, but he was not unhappy at all. He knew that if there was no urgent matter in the palace, no one would dare to disturb him.
"Stop knocking, I understand, please wait outside for a moment."
Li Gui gave instructions inside, then quickly put on some clothes and hurriedly opened the door and came out.
As soon as Li Gui came out, the eunuch hurried to Li Gui's side and said a few words in his ear.
After hearing this, Li Gui did not hesitate and went out of the small courtyard directly. When he arrived at the door, he saw the little eunuch who reported the news and said: "Hurry back and report the news to Miss Ruizhu. Just say that I know about this and tell him not to worry."
.”
After Li Gui said this, he didn't care about the little eunuch and ran away like an inner palace.
When Li Gui entered the Qianqing Palace, he grabbed a eunuch and asked the emperor where he was resting today.
The eunuch looked at Li Gui, but he knelt there with a low eyebrow and said nothing.
Li Gui knew that the eunuch would not speak unless he told the reason.
"The queen is not well, I have to report it to the emperor."
The eunuch was startled when he heard this, and then said softly: "The emperor is resting in Chengqian Palace today."
After Li Gui got the news, he immediately started running in the palace.
When he hurried and panted to Chengqian Palace, the place was already locked.
Li Gui didn't care about anything else. He stepped forward and knocked on the door of Chengqian Palace.
The eunuchs in Chengqian Palace were a little annoyed when they heard someone knocking on the door at night.
"Who's dying, knocking on the door at night."
"Hurry up and open the door. I am Li Gui, the supervisor of the royal horse. The queen is in a bad condition."
When the eunuch guarding the door heard what he said, he quickly opened the side door. When Li Gui saw the door open, he pushed the eunuch aside and rushed in.
