The Queen Mother calmed down and said, "Let him come in."
"yes."
Chu Mohan couldn't move around, so he was still carried in. Seeing him struggling to get up and salute, the Queen Mother said repeatedly, "If you are injured, take good care of yourself. Don't worry about these false greetings."
"My grandson thanks the emperor's grandmother."
Chu Mohan looked around the inner room, but did not see the little star. Seeing this, the Queen Mother said lightly, "Xing'er went back to her room to take a bath."
"Is she... okay?"
"Of course it's not good. Although Xing'er doesn't have a mother, she was raised by the Ai family. Ever since she was a child, the Ai family was not willing to let her kneel down, let alone in this kind of weather.
In such a scorching sun, if you kneel for a while longer, you will probably collapse."
Chu Mohan smiled bitterly, "Royal Grandmother, don't blame the Queen Mother. She also feels sorry for her grandson and is very angry."
"What mother doesn't feel sorry for her children?"
The Queen Mother was serious in speech and looked very majestic, "If Yu Ning from the Ai family was still here, with her fiery temper that could not rub the sand out of her eyes, she would have come to the palace long ago if she knew that Xing'er had been wronged in the palace.
That way it wouldn't be the Ai family's turn to stand up for Xing'er.
To put it bluntly, your mother is just bullying her because she has no mother and her father doesn't love her."
"..." "Han'er, don't blame the Ai family for being partial.
Xing'er's mother is gone, and her father wishes she would die soon. If the Ai family hadn't protected her these years, she would have been eaten alive by her father's family."
Listening to these words, Chu Mohan suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
"You are the grandson of the Ai family. The Ai family loved you very much in the past, but you have disappointed the Ai family so much over the years.
The Ai family dotes on Xing'er, but she is not such a shameless child. She just likes you and wants to follow your footsteps and see more of you.
Do you think she is shameless? Do you know that every time you hear those people talking about her behind her back, she will cry herself to sleep when she comes back at night without saying anything to her face."
The Queen Mother sighed, "Even so, she didn't force you to marry her. The Ai family felt sorry for her and directly issued an edict to marry her.
It’s just that she felt that Ai Jia was her grandmother and the things she did were all for her own good, so she acquiesced in this crime without explaining it to you.”
"..." Chu Mohan suddenly raised his head.
The Queen Mother looked directly at him, "I know you are angry in your heart, but you should never take a concubine after only three days of marriage.
It is her concubine who accepts her. You are not slapping her in the face. You are trampling all her self-esteem and pride under your feet.
But even so, when she came back home, she didn't say a word about you in front of the Ai family... Han'er, it was you who pushed her to this point of Heli."
Chu Mohan opened his mouth, but couldn't speak.
"The Aijia knows what you want to say. It's just that you don't want to reconcile with Li..." The Queen Mother said seriously, "But the Aijia wants to tell you that Xing'er is the lifeblood of the Aijia, and the Aijia will not force her to do anything she doesn't want to do.
things.
If she is determined to make peace with her, then the Ai family will not hesitate to offend your father, emperor and mother, but they will help her achieve her wish."
"Half of the Ai family is buried in the soil. I just want to see her safe and happy for the rest of the days. Otherwise, the Ai family won't be able to close their eyes even if they die."
"..." This was already said from the bottom of my heart.
Chu Mohan understood. He handed over his hand and said, "Grandma Huang, please give your grandson another chance."
"oh?"
"It lasts for three months.
If Su Xing'er still chooses to reconcile after three months, the grandson will convince his father, the emperor and the queen not to let them blame Su Xing'er, and personally write the divorce letter and send Su Xing'er to leave the palace. From now on..."
He closed his eyes and said with difficulty, "From now on, Su Xing'er will be my grandson's sister. If she remarries in the future, my grandson will definitely be Shili Hongzhuang and send her off in person."
What the Queen Mother wants is this sentence, "Okay!"
"..." Chu Mohan felt uncomfortable.
Just thinking about Su Xing'er remarrying someone else made him feel a dull pain in his breathing. He took a breath to suppress those messy emotions and said, "My grandson will leave first."
"Um."
The Queen Mother's complexion improved a lot and said, "Take good care of your injuries."
"yes!"
Chu Mohan was carried out again, and the Queen Mother asked Su Xin to call Lu'er. After Lu'er arrived, the Queen Mother retreated. No one knew what the two said in the inner room, and no one had any thoughts.
Go and find out.
Because that night, the Queen Mother fell ill.
During dinner, the Queen Mother said she was not feeling well and did not eat a bite. After dark, the Queen Mother said she was tired and fell asleep early. Su Xin thought that the Queen Mother had not slept during her nap, so she went to bed earlier than usual and did not take it to heart.
.
It wasn't until she noticed that the sleeping Queen Mother's face was flushed that she realized something was wrong.
By this time the Queen Mother was already a little confused from the fever.
Su Xin was so shocked that she immediately had two basins of water brought over, one with hot water and one with cold water. She put a cloth towel into the cold water until it was half dry and put it on her forehead.
Semi-dry, wipe the Queen Mother's overheated carotid arteries, armpits and leg hollows to cool her down.
The Queen Mother, who was half-conscious from the fever, kept mumbling.
When Su Xin got closer, she heard the Queen Mother calling "Yu Ning" and "Xing'er" for a while. Su Xin was so anxious that she was sweating profusely and immediately asked the palace maid to call Little Xing'er over.
"Aunt Su Xin, what happened to grandma?"
"The Queen Mother was just in low spirits in the afternoon and suddenly developed a fever after falling asleep."
Su Xin touched the Queen Mother's forehead, and the palm of her hand was very hot. Su Xin was so anxious that she said, "The Queen Mother is weak and the disease is coming very fiercely. I am a little worried.
The Queen Mother kept calling the Princess's name while she was sleeping. Princess, please stay with the Queen Mother and talk to her. Maybe she will feel better after hearing your voice."
"good!"
Little Xingxing moved an embroidery stool and sat beside the bed. She reached out and took the Queen Mother's hand. The Queen Mother's hand was hot. Little Xingxing moved closer to the Queen Mother. Sure enough, she heard the Queen Mother calling her name. She leaned in the Queen Mother's ear and talked to her.
Say, "Grandma, Xing'er is here."
"No..." "What?"
"You are not... Xing'er from the Ai family."
"..." Little Xingxing's hand tightened suddenly. Is it because people who are sick are more sensitive than usual? Little Xingxing took a breath silently.
Sickness comes like a mountain.
The Queen Mother had been ill for many days. The doctors changed her doctors one after another, and she drank bowl after bowl of soup. However, the Queen Mother still showed no signs of improvement. On the contrary, her condition became more and more serious, and she was unconscious for a long time.
It also got longer and longer, and after a few days, I couldn't even drink the decoction.
Soon it was time to die.
The emperor and the empress came to Cining Palace many times and scolded the imperial doctors so much that they knelt in a row and shivered, but they were helpless.
Judging from her pulse, the Queen Mother was depressed. The most troublesome thing was that she seemed to have lost the will to live.
