and son

Before entering the Palace of Mercy and Benevolence, I heard the sound of the Empress Dowager coughing, which was more uncomfortable and more worrying than the last.

Pei Jing went in, only to see the Queen Mother lying on the bed, her whole body was like a withered flower, without a trace of expression.

"Grandma Huang." Pei Jing rushed forward, held the Queen Mother's hand, and shouted: "Emperor physician, imperial physician..."

The imperial physician is not in the palace.

It was Mammy who went to bring the soup to the Empress Dowager. Hearing Pei Jing's voice, she walked faster, and the soup spilled a little.

"Your Highness, the Empress Dowager said she wanted to lie down for a while, and expelled all the imperial doctors."

Pei Jing hurriedly brought over the medicine from the nanny's tray, and said anxiously: "Grandma Huang, Grandma Huang, open your eyes and look at me."

The Queen Mother then slowly opened her eyes, raised her hand tremblingly, and burst into tears: "Ah Zhi."

The first emperor's name is Pei Zhi.

Could it be that she can't see people clearly?

Pei Jing put the medicine back on the tray, helped the Queen Mother get up, her voice trembling slightly: "Grandma Huang, I am Jing'er, I am Jing'er, not Grandpa Huang."

The queen mother opened her eyes a little wider, her spirits lifted, and she seemed to be awake, and said: "Jing'er, why are you so busy, don't keep running to me when you have nothing to do, Grandma Huang is already ugly. I can't see people anymore."

Pei Jing shook her head, "Grandma Huang, don't say that, in Jing'er's heart, you have always been beautiful, and you are one of the most beauties in the capital."

The queen mother laughed, looked at the nanny with wandering eyes, and said, "Give me the medicine."

Nanny hurriedly brought up the medicine, Pei Jing took it, and fed her with a spoon.

The queen mother drank slowly and said: "Although the lamp is already exhausted, I still have to live a few more days and look at my Jing'er more."

Pei Jing's heart ached badly, as if someone was cutting with a knife.

After patiently feeding the medicine, Pei Jing helped her to lie down and said, "Grandma Huang, I'll call the imperial physician to come over to show you."

The Queen Mother smiled calmly and said, "You don't need to watch it, I can already count my remaining days. It's just Jing'er, I really want to listen to the play, and I want to listen to "The Story of a Thousand Umbrellas". It is best to watch it with many people. It's very lively, and there are fireworks, when my mother took me to the Jiji banquet held by Xia's daughter-in-law, the banquet was so lively, I was so envious."

"Okay, okay, Jing'er will go and arrange for you right away."

Pei Jing hurriedly got up and left the hall.

Behind her came the empress dowager's babbling and weak jokes: "July [-]th, Qixi Festival, thousands of umbrellas are piled up all over the street, magpie bridge, please slow down, the lover's lotus steps are light...cough cough...cough cough..."

Pei Jing stopped outside the hall door, and the nanny looked at her, hurriedly put down the tray and bowl, and followed out softly.

"Your Highness."

"Didn't the imperial physician say Grandma Huang could live for two months? Why did Grandma Huang become like this?"

Sudden desire to eat and drink, to fulfill the desire of life, is clearly a sign of impending death.

It looks like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive for half a month.

The nanny raised her sleeves and wiped her tears: "The imperial doctor said that the empress dowager has no ambition at all, that's why her body has failed so quickly. Even if she takes medicine to maintain her heart disease, drinking medicine is useless. Your Highness, the empress dowager looks forward to it every day. Going to reunite with His Majesty the late Emperor, I can't be persuaded at all, I'm afraid there are only ten... ten days to live."

Pei Jing's legs were weak, and he took a step back, his face was pale, and his eyes turned black while holding on to the palace door.

"Your Highness, Your Highness..."

It's not good for Mammy to see Pei Jing.

Pei Jing waved her hand feebly, "It's okay, I'm fine."

He muttered to himself, but his soul seemed to be drained.

The mother choked up sobbing choked up: "Your Highness, you have to take care of your health. If you are not good, the Empress Dowager will not be at peace under the nine springs."

Pei Jing looked at her, her eyes were bloodshot, and tears fell violently.

Then, he turned around and left like a ghost.

Mammy was really worried and hurried to follow: "Your Highness, where are you going?"

Pei Jing didn't turn her head back, "I...I'm going to prepare a lively feast for Grandma Huang, and find someone to sing..."The Story of a Thousand Umbrellas."

These two days, Pei Jing was restless, leaving early and returning late, Meng Chuji felt that something was wrong.

At first he didn't want to ask, but after three days in a row, he couldn't help but ask.

After finally catching him, Meng Chuji asked: "Aren't you Xiu Mu? Why are you so busier than usual, and you just fell asleep when you came back? Did something happen?"

With this question, Pei Jing's emotions seemed to be broken.

Grief occupied his entire face, Meng Chuji's heart skipped a beat, he felt something bad happened, and his smile faded a lot: "Don't be sad, what's wrong..."

"Grandma Huang has only seven days to live."

In an instant, all the words were choked in his throat and could not be uttered.

The sudden news cast a shadow over the world and made it dull and suffocating.

Meng Chuji's pupils shrank sharply, and he felt that someone had poured a basin of cold water on his head, which made him feel cold all over his body, and he couldn't even speak:

"You... what did you say, say it again."

Pei Jing took a deep breath and slowly closed her eyes: "Grandma Huang only has seven days to live."

"how so!"

Meng Chuji cried out involuntarily, and received a heavy hammer on his head, which nearly knocked him out of his wits.

Pei Jing hugged Meng Chuji, and buried her face deeply on his shoulder. Meng Chuji felt Pei Jing's body tremble, and she also became unsteady.

How could it be so fast!

Isn't there still one and a half months?

Seven days... Could it be that he will leave Dasui and return to Dachu in seven days?

"Quiet, Grandma Huang is leaving, what should I do?"

Pei Jing asked in a daze and helplessness, the pain in it seemed to be inextricably thick.

Meng Chuji's hands and feet were cold, and he was more confused and helpless than him.

Yes.

What should he do?

Only seven days left.

Even though he had disobeyed the Queen Mother's order, selfishly let Pei Jing indulge in his feelings for him, and didn't make up his mind to break up with Pei Jing, but promised the Queen Mother to tell Pei Jing the truth about everything, He can't help it.

He didn't want to lie to Pei Jing all the time, and he was also afraid that after the death of the Queen Mother, she would turn into a ghost and come looking for him.

Looking at Pei Jing again, he was slumped and desperate, and he was several times stronger than him. Meng Chuji was flustered, and casually comforted him: "You still have Gillian, Your Majesty, and Empress Empress. Take care of your health, and don't be too sad."

Pei Jing's voice was low and hoarse: "What about you?"

"I..." Meng Chuji's brains turned sharply, "I mean, besides grandma, you have many relatives."

Pei Jing is just when she is sad and uneasy, the more sad and uneasy she is, the more she wants to hold on to something, especially for Meng Chuji, she wishes she could hold on tightly for the rest of her life.

"You are my first wife, don't you count as my relative?"

He held Meng Chuji's shoulder and asked persuasively.

Meng Chuji could hardly hold back, and said whatever he thought: "I am your lover."

Pei Jing felt a little more at ease, and then let him go, kissed his brow, and said: "Yes, you are my lover, and you really can't be counted among relatives."

Meng Chuji breathed a sigh of relief, and broke up with Pei Jing casually. After a while, someone came and called Pei Jing away.

Meng Chuji floated back to his room like a ghost, his state was sluggish and he could tell at a glance that he was restless, Ah Fu was carrying fresh fruit to his room to change for him, when he accidentally bumped into him, it was like bumping into a ghost Yes, I was taken aback.

Then, he looked at Meng Chuji and asked foolishly, "Master, what's wrong with you?"

Meng Chuji slowly raised his eyes, his wandering soul returned to his place, and he squeezed out a smile: "Get ready to pack up and salute, we can go back to Dachu soon."
