Honghui is reborn in Legend of Zhen Huan, I will protect my mother

"No way?" Nian Shilan didn't believe what she said. She hesitated for a long time before taking a deep breath and gritted her teeth and said, "Songzhi, get some pen and ink."

After a while, she wrote a letter to her family which was supposedly asking for help but was actually a complaint. After that, no one heard about Nian Gengyao causing any trouble. From then on, the Nian family disappeared quietly from everyone's sight!

Just as Yinzhen was about to sigh that Nian Gengyao had finally grown up recently, a piece of bad news came - the Empress Dowager was seriously ill again.

Yinzhen and the other princes hurried to Shoukang Palace. Before they could catch their breath, they started asking questions, "How is the Empress Dowager? What did the imperial physician say?"

The queen frowned and sighed deeply, "It's not good. I can't leave my bed every day. I keep coughing at night, not to mention sleeping... The imperial physician just shook his head and said it's not good when I asked..."

"Su Peisheng, call all the doctors from the Imperial Medical Bureau!" After saying this, Yinzhen went straight to the inner room. When he saw the Empress Dowager lying quietly on the bed, as if nothing happened, his heart skipped a beat.

"Empress Huang..."

Concubine Duan heard the voice and replied, "The Queen Mother went to bed at midnight last night and just took medicine. She is now catching up on her sleep."

Yinzhen heaved a sigh of relief after realizing it belatedly, and whispered, "Everyone go down, I'm the only one here, don't disturb the Empress Dowager while she's resting..."

At this moment, the Empress Dowager woke up and asked weakly, "Emperor, why are you here? I'm fine, please go back to the Yangxin Palace..."

"Empress Mother, did my son disturb you? It's all my fault. He made too much noise."

"It's not your fault. I'm old and I don't sleep enough. A nap of one or two quarters of an hour is enough! Emperor, tell the children to go back and rest. I'll have the queen and the others by my side."

Yinzhen did not agree, but stayed in the inner room all night, until he had to run to the Yangxin Palace before the morning court the next day. After that, all court affairs were handed over to Prince Yi. As for Prince Xian, who was responsible for assisting in the management of state affairs a few years ago, he had already stayed in Shoukang Palace to take care of the emperor's illness!

However, no matter how worried the princes and grandchildren were, the Empress Dowager's condition became worse and worse. By mid-May, she was already running out of energy and her death was imminent.

"All of you should treat me with all your heart. If you can't cure the Empress Dowager, I will peel off your skin..."

Honghui stepped forward and stopped them: "Father, the Royal Madam is seriously ill. I am extremely worried, but the imperial physician has done his best. The Royal Madam suffered a lot when she was young, and now her life is coming to an end. How can human power change her life?"

"I know, but the one lying on the sickbed and dying is my biological mother. How can I not be sad?" Yinzhen's eyes were filled with sorrow. He suddenly felt very confused and didn't know what to do next!

Seventy-four years old is considered a long life, but in the eyes of his descendants, the so-called longevity is too short and they wish he could live to be a hundred years old.

This was true for Yinzhen and Honghui, but Honghui was able to look rationally at the death of the imperial maternal grandmother, who had always treated him best and valued him the most, because he knew that separation did not mean the end, but on the contrary, it was a new beginning.

Although, he had to be sad. By the time the Empress Dowager regained consciousness and gave instructions for her funeral, Honghui could no longer hold back his emotions. He smiled with his swollen eyes to comfort the Empress Dowager who was thinking about him so much before she passed away.

"Don't worry, I will be fine. I will see the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty for you. I will meet you one day. I will tell you everything in detail."

The Queen Mother held Honghui's hands tightly and laughed along, but the worry in her heart was not relieved.

"You, my child, have had a very hard life since childhood, but later you became very thoughtful and sensible. I was always afraid that the emperor would love you as much as he wants and hate you as much as he wants. One day he would hate you. With your personality of always thinking about others, I was afraid that I would wrong you!" Even though she knew that her eldest grandson would have a good life in the future, as a nanny, how could she not worry?

Honghui's eyes were sore, and he forced himself to hold back his tears, choking and saying, "It's all over. My grandson didn't suffer much. With you and the Royal Mother around, my grandson feels that life is full of hope! Don't blame the Royal Father, it's all because of the world. The Royal Father couldn't have treated me better."

This is the truth, all the princes combined are not as favored as him!

There are so many hidden secrets contained in these few short sentences. Anyway, all the princes and grandchildren who listened attentively were extremely puzzled. How could the eldest brother/father/uncle, who was almost spoiled to the sky, have a hard life?

Only Concubine Duan and a few other old ladies couldn't help but recall the dirty days when Concubine Rou was the only favorite in the early years. Although it has been a long time, it seems like yesterday!

As for Yinzhen, who was singled out by the Empress Dowager, he did not feel remorseful. Instead, he blamed himself, not for anything else, but just for the three years he had been absent from his eldest son's life.

"Mother, don't worry. Honghui is my eldest son and my own flesh and blood. I will never let him suffer again. I swear to heaven..."

"Okay, Emperor, I believe in you and Honghui. You and your son will never end up like the late Emperor and Prince Lihe. But Yinzhen, before I die, I am worried about you and your son. I hope that you two will be reunited with me in person one day. That way, I will feel at ease even in the underworld."

"Huang's mother/Huang Mama..."

The Queen Mother smiled in relief: "Don't cry, men don't shed tears easily. This is also a happy funeral for me. Looking back on my life, although I was trapped in this small place in the harem, I gave birth to six sons, but only two of them are left. The eldest son was raised by someone else, and the youngest son always made me worried. However, I have lived a carefree, disaster-free and prosperous life in the second half of my life. I think my life has not been lived in vain."

Yinzhen burst into tears and choked with sobs as he tried to comfort her: "You have not lived in vain. Others may not know, but your son knows how much pain you have endured these years... March 3, Shangsi Festival..."

The Queen Mother's expression suddenly changed: "You..."

"It happened a few years ago. I was ignorant at first and could not see the pain in your heart. Later I realized that you did it all for your son. How could your son deserve this? How could he deserve this?..."

"It's all over, it's all over!"

The deepest knot in her heart actually had a chance to be relieved before she died? The Queen Mother looked at her eldest son with relief, and expressed her inner thoughts in a vague way, "I regretted it a few years ago, regretting the twenty years I missed with you. I think I don't regret entering the palace."

Just this one sentence is enough. Anyway, Yinzhen has completely put the previous events behind him and finally won the heart of the Empress Dowager!

At 3 p.m. on May 20th, the Empress Dowager died with a smile on her face. The Emperor cried uncontrollably and fainted several times. He insisted on observing mourning for his mother for three years, but everyone in the court disagreed and changed it to half a year. From then on, in later generations, the royal family had to observe mourning for both fathers and mothers for half a year, and no exceptions were made!
