faint [rebirth]

Although it was late at night, the Jiaofang Hall was still brightly lit.

On the bed in the main hall, a woman in her forties was coughing weakly.

While coughing, she took the hand of the 26-year-old woman in emerald green sitting on the couch with a sad expression, and said in a low voice, "Hasn't he come yet? The prince, hasn't he come yet?"

The emerald woman covered her face with a handkerchief in her other hand, and cried: "Sister, hold on a little longer, the prince is always weak, after taking a break, he will have to walk all the way from the East Palace, I'm afraid It will take a lot of time. Besides, my sister has sent her close relatives to find the prince, so why worry?"

The woman on the bed coughed a few more times, she seemed to have heard the explanation of the woman beside her, but she didn't seem to hear it.

She braced herself, sat up halfway, and murmured: "Yes, it is common for Wuchen to be weak and move slowly. Bengong wait, wait a little longer. Bengong... definitely Can wait until clean."

After all, he coughed again.

The young woman covered her mouth with a handkerchief, stood up from the bed, and let the palace servants serve the weak woman, but she was too lazy to pretend, she glanced at the woman who looked like an old woman, she couldn't do the courtesy, and left the pepper room In the inner room of the main hall of the hall, he sat directly on the main seat in the outer room of the Jiaofang hall.

"Oh, my master, even if you are in a hurry, you definitely can't sit in this seat right now." Mother Xia came back from the outside, and saw her master Concubine Shen sitting in the pepper room The main seat in the hall immediately became anxious, and hurriedly went forward and grabbed Concubine Shen's arm, trying to pull her up.

Concubine Shen held the tea in her hand, took a sip, and remained silent.

Mother Xia was obviously sweating in a hurry, and persuaded again in a low voice: "Master, we are not short of time, seeing that one is about to die, and the crown prince treats you like his own mother, eighth The prince is still young, and the Holy Majesty has always felt so indebted to you. When that one really leaves, after a year of national filial piety, if our uncle doesn't mention it, will there be no one in the court? Did you mention the matter of making you a queen? It will happen sooner or later, so why are you in a hurry to get it right?"

Only then did Concubine Shen put down the tea, and after a moment of silence, she stood up and sneered softly: "It's hard for me to wait for so long, this old man is finally going to give up this position to me! Back then, if she hadn't insisted on How could I live in such a desolate life in this cold harem when I entered the palace to give birth to a prince for her? You should have died long ago, you should have died long ago!"

Concubine Shen finished speaking these words as if venting, and finally felt a little relieved in her heart.

Nanny Xia and Lvyi stood aside with their heads bowed, not daring to persuade them a word.

Fortunately, in the Jiaofang Palace, they have already been replaced by their people. Although the master speaks harshly, his voice is soft, so he is not afraid of being overheard by anyone.

"The crown prince, did you make it clear? He really won't come over this night?" Concubine Shen relieved the gloom in her heart, and then she sat in the second seat, stroking her bare nails, and asked Said, "There are still her people, can they all be stopped?"

Mammy Xia knew that her master looked bright and beautiful, like an embroidered pillow. She was really thoughtful and liked to control everything by herself. Hearing this, she bowed and carefully explained what she said to Eunuch Ruan and the look in Eunuch Ruan's eyes. Concubine Shen was told about all the changes, and when she saw Concubine Shen served tea again, Mammy Xia realized that she had finally passed this test, and she breathed a sigh of relief before she spoke again.

"As for the people in the Jiaofang Palace... those palace people who can't enter the main hall to serve, it doesn't matter who they are right now. As for those who can enter the main hall to serve, most of their family members are either us The Shen family, or those who the Shen family can handle, they are all old people in the palace, they are all knowledgeable, no matter what, they dare not report to the outside at this time."

Madam Xia lowered her head and said.She really thought so in her heart.After all, no matter how the empress is the lord of the palace, she is still a person who is about to die.As for her master, although she is a concubine, she is the most trusted person by the prince and the emperor, with the support of the uncle's family behind her, so it will be a matter of time before she wants to become the master of Jiaofang Palace.Those servants who can sneak into the main hall to serve, which one is stupid?In any case, the empress and Concubine Shen are both surnamed Shen, and the left and right empresses were not killed by Concubine Shen. Concubine Shen just secretly concealed some things, so why would they bother to show loyalty at such a time and run to do things for the dying empress? ?

Don't say they didn't want to dare, but they really dared. Concubine Shen had long regarded Jiaofangdian as her possession, so how could they escape from Jiaofangdian?

After hearing this, Concubine Shen slightly raised the corners of her lips.

Obviously, she heard the sincerity of Madam Xia's words.And she herself really didn't feel that at such a time, there were still people around the queen who would dare to oppose her.

Until another palace maid beside her, Hong Qing, ran in with an ugly face.

"Master, it's not good! The little maid Huan'er next to the queen wanted to run out of Jiaofang Hall to invite the prince, but when she was messing around, the prince happened to come to Jiaofang Hall and heard her shouting middle!"

Concubine Shen smashed the teacup in her hand immediately, and looked at Nanny Xia fiercely.

Madam Xia immediately knelt down: "Servant, this servant obviously saw that Eunuch Ruan promised to come down, not to call the prince..."

As soon as her words fell, Concubine Shen's face changed several times, and just as she was about to get annoyed again, a little palace maid hurriedly opened the curtain and came in: "Your Majesty, the prince is here!"

Concubine Shen immediately stood up and glanced at Nanny Xia.

Grandma Xia also stood up suddenly, and when Xiao Wuchen walked in quickly, she rushed towards Xiao Wuchen's feet, crying loudly: "Your Highness, Your Highness, it is fortunate that you have come, the empress is afraid now. It’s time to shine, luckily you’re here…”

Concubine Shen stood aside and also cried: "Good boy, go and see your mother. I see, although your mother is confused and some words don't match the words, she is still sober. You always have to talk to her." Farewell. By the way, who are you here with? The person sent by your aunt to invite you..."

Concubine Shen hadn't finished her words when she suddenly saw the young man who had barged in suddenly kicking Mammy Xia's heart—

Nanny Xia let out a scream, her whole body fell back, and her head happened to hit the fragment of the teacup that Concubine Shen just smashed.

Madam Xia fainted immediately, a small puddle of blood overflowed from the back of her head.

Concubine Shen's head was dizzy, and she almost fainted, and she was supported by the bolder Luyi behind her.

However, when she finally came back to her senses, the person who kicked Nanny Xia just now had disappeared.

He didn't even look at her, and went straight into the inner room.

Concubine Shen's face became paler and paler.

One wrong step, one wrong step.Could it be that she really lost Xiao Wuchen's trust and closeness just because she wanted to ruin Xiao Wuchen's reputation for a while, and from then on she would bear the reputation of being unfilial?

Concubine Shen was still in panic, but Xiao Wuchen didn't want to see this person at all, so he quickly walked into the inner room and saw the dying queen.

Xiao Wuchen's knees softened, he took two quick steps, and immediately knelt down beside the queen's couch.

"Mother, mother, unfilial son, come to see you!"

Xiao Wuchen's tears flowed down uncontrollably.

This is his queen mother, the person he should be most filial to.

However, when his mother was alive, he had never been filial to her for a single day.Even, until she died, she was always worried about his body.

"Good boy, good boy." The queen realized that she didn't have much strength. She stretched out her hand to stroke Xiao Wuchen several times, and realized that her life was about to disappear. Bring the vase here. Ah Chou and Ah Zhuang, you two go with her."

Although the queen is usually weak and gentle, she rarely loses her temper, but this does not mean that she is really stupid.

Previously, she blindly believed in her own sister, and only felt that Concubine Shen was her sister, the one she watched and loved growing up, and no matter what, she would never betray her.But now it seems that if her son wants to see her, he has to kick a palace man to break in to see her.

The queen no longer had the time to think about her younger sister, and when the Shen family betrayed her, and how many things they had done to betray her.

Her most important thing now is her only son.

"Wuchen, the queen mother's good child." The queen looked at the boy kneeling beside her, and murmured softly, "Wuchen, the queen mother is leaving, will you listen to the queen mother's words?"

Xiao Wuchen burst into tears: "Listen. Whatever the queen mother says, Wuchen will follow without changing a bit."

Only then did the queen smile: "Good boy. The queen mother's good child." She coughed a few times and said, "Wuchen, don't be afraid. The queen just went to another place in advance to wait for Wuchen. That place, No sickness, no death, this is the place my mother has long wanted to go to. However, although my mother has gone, it will take a long, long time to arrange everything there, waiting for your father, and then you .”

Xiao Wuchen stared blankly at his mother, whom he hadn't seen for more than ten years.

"The queen mother hopes that when Wuchen is [-] years old, she will see a healthy Wuchen in that place again. Wuchen, how is it? Also, as a prince and emperor, don't trust anyone."

Hearing this, Xiao Wuchen was stunned for a long while, then was pushed by Ah Ya behind him, and finally said in a hoarse voice: "Okay, okay. Mother, my son will try his best to live well and live to be a hundred years old before going to see mother."

Only then did the queen show a smile, then she reached out to Huan'er who was holding the vase, took out a roll of paper from the vase, and handed it to Xiao Wuchen.

"Wu Chen, be good. Be good, your body won't hurt anymore."

After finishing the words she used to say when Xiao Wuchen was a child, the queen grabbed Xiao Wuchen's hand and finally lost her breath.
