Ten years of life and death

24

Outside the emperor's bedroom, ministers and harem concubines were already kneeling. Inside the bedroom, the crown prince and the imperial physician stood motionless in front of the emperor's bed. The emperor was sometimes awake and sometimes comatose, and it seemed that it would be over soon.

Prince, is Xiang'er back?The emperor, who suddenly woke up, asked.

Not yet, but father, please rest assured, the emperor's sister should be here soon, so I'll go out and have a look.

Go, go.

Outside the palace, Zhang Shaomin saw the prince coming out, asked, "Prince, how is the emperor?"

It's still the same, hey, I don't know if Xiang'er has arrived in the capital now.

Father, father, Tianxiang's voice came from the corridor outside the emperor's palace, and when everyone saw Tianxiang, they were all surprised, Tianxiang was crying and running in filial piety.

The emperor hadn't passed away yet, why did the princess wear filial piety? From time to time, ministers in the crowd murmured to themselves, and even Zhang Shaomin and the others thought it was a bit unreasonable to count.

Royal sister, your father is still alive, why are you wearing filial piety?asked the prince.

Tianxiang's weak body couldn't take it anymore due to the rush of the past few days, coupled with the grief, she almost fell down. Fortunately, the crown prince stepped forward to help me, brother, please help me to see my father.

I will help you, please slow down.

When the emperor heard someone coming in, he asked weakly, Prince, is Xiang'er back?

Father, father, hearing the emperor in front of the bed calling her name from time to time, the grief in Tianxiang's heart increased a bit, her elderly father, on the verge of life and death, did not forget to think of herself.

Xiang'er, father is really afraid that you won't be able to come back and see you again, the emperor slowly stretched out his hand, and caressed his favorite daughter for the last time, seeing Tianxiang's emaciated face, the emperor seemed to comfort her She showed a smile that she hadn't seen for a long time, Xiang'er, birth, old age, sickness and death are really destiny, don't be so sad for father, just smile and let father see.

The emperor's wish was originally so simple, but Tianxiang tried her best, but she couldn't laugh, she tightly grasped those skinny hands, unwilling to let go, father, please don't leave me, okay, I'm already close I can't stand it anymore.

Maybe people are the most sober at the last moment of life, the hand tightly held by Tianxiang, and the mourning clothes worn by Tianxiang made the emperor feel that something happened, Xiang'er, what's wrong?You say it, even if I still have breath, I will make the decision for you.

Tianxiang's last bit of support was completely crushed by the emperor's words, and tears burst out instantly. The emperor father, her son-in-law, and her son-in-law died outside Yumen Pass.

What?Feng, Feng Shaomin is dead, ahem, how did he die?When the emperor heard the news of Feng Shaomin's sudden death, he patted the bed angrily.

She encountered an ambush on the way to Izumo country, and died with an arrow through her heart. I was beside her at the time, but I couldn't save her. gas.

Son, you can cry happily, I understand the grief in your heart, come, take your father to meet him, the emperor looked at Tianxiang who was already in tears, and didn't know how to comfort him, he struggled from the bed stand up.

Royal father, this son-in-law just wants to be with you now, and doesn't want to go anywhere.

He is the son-in-law chosen by me out of hundreds of thousands of people. Although he has failed you once, I should go to meet him if he is a king and his ministers. Prince, send an order for everyone to go to the princess mansion to wait.

Erchen is going here.

Brother Zhang, Brother Liu, is it too unreasonable for the princess to dress like this, Li Zhaoting asked Zhang Shaomin and Liu Changying beside him.

I have never seen parents who are seriously ill, and their children go to visit in mourning clothes, Liu Changying said in a low voice.

It is indeed unreasonable for the princess to dress like this, but she is not the kind of nonsense person, unless she is dressing for others.

Even if it was worn for someone else, it would be unreasonable for her to wear filial piety to visit the emperor at this time.

That's right, huh?Brother Feng, why haven't you come here for so long, Liu Changying looked around and said.

Why?That's right, Brother Feng probably didn't return to Beijing.

It should be impossible not to return to Beijing, wait for the princess to come out later and ask, alas, someone has come out, prince, does the emperor blame the princess for wearing filial piety?Zhang Shaomin asked.

How could the father be willing to blame her, the prince said with an extremely ugly face, the father has an order, ordering all the ministers to wait in the princess mansion.

After hearing the emperor's will, everyone started discussing, prince, the emperor is weak now, what is the reason for this dispatch?

You will know when you go, alas!The prince sighed and entered the bedroom.

When more than a hundred people rushed to the gate of the princess mansion, they were all shocked by the white cloth hanging at the gate of the mansion. What's going on?Has anyone died in the princess mansion?But there is no need to make such a big fanfare when the servant dies, Zhang Shaomin feels that the matter is not simple.

Who the hell died in this princess mansion, to be so troublesome?Questions like this come from the crowd from time to time.

The old slave has seen all the adults, and Nanny Zhuang, who is dressed in filial piety, stands at the gate of the mansion with a sad face.

Mother, who died in the mansion?Li Zhaoting asked eagerly.

My lords, come in with the old slave first, there are too many people at the door, they will block the son-in-law from going home.

Mammy, what do you mean?

Hey, gentlemen, don’t ask any more questions. You can tell when you come in with the old slave. Nanny Zhuang wiped away her old tears and led everyone in. There are white cloths and lanterns hanging everywhere in the courtyard, and there are servants in mourning clothes everywhere. There was the sound of crying, and Zhang Shaomin ran over to see what happened. Nuo Da's living room became a mourning hall, with a coffin in the middle, and Xing'er and Tao'er were sobbing and burning paper in the brazier.

Seeing all the abnormalities today, Zhang Shaomin also guessed the best, but he still held a glimmer of hope, hoping that the person in that coffin was not Feng Shaomin, two girls, who was in that coffin?

Mr. Zhang, yes, it is the son-in-law, and Tao Xing and Xing burst into tears again when Zhang Shaomin asked him this question.

What?It was really him, how could he die, how could he leave Tianxiang and the child in Tianxiang's womb, what happened?Zhang Shaomin suddenly felt that all of this was too unexpected. Feng Shaomin had told him a month ago that he would treat Tianxiang well and not make Tianxiang sad anymore, but now this person would never wake up again. , how painful it must be!

Feng Shaomin, how could you leave Tianxiang alone? Do you know how much she loves you? How could you be so cruel? It's not enough for you to break her heart, and now you're actually abandoning her, you bastard, Get up quickly, Zhang Shaomin rushed to the coffin uncontrollably, trying to wake Feng Shaomin up.

Brother Zhang, calm down, there are so many ministers watching outside, Li Zhaoting and Liu Changying saw Zhang Shaomin so impulsive, they hurried forward to stop him.

The emperor is here!

Long live my emperor, long live, long live!

Flat body, ahem, Nanny Zhuang, quickly support the princess.

Alas, princess, be careful, Nanny Zhuang stepped forward to help the weak Tianxiang get off the sedan chair.

The two eunuchs helped the dying emperor into the mourning hall and approached the coffin. The emperor signaled that no one would support him, and he supported the coffin and moved slowly. Inside the coffin, the peerless son-in-law was lying there quietly and motionless. Everything in the outside world has nothing to do with her, no matter how much love and hatred, it will finally dissipate with her departure.

Xiang'er, come here.

Father Emperor.

The emperor supported the coffin with one hand, and tightly held Tianxiang's trembling hand with the other. He really wished that God would give him some more days to accompany his beloved daughter through this difficult time, but this time he was really powerless. "Xiang'er, people cannot be resurrected after death, so you live well, that's the happiest thing for Father."

Father, Tian Xiang was already crying, but seeing her father in front of him who wished her well, she still forced a smile, and watched the emperor let go of her hand and fell down.

Physician!Physician!

If you go back to the prince, the emperor is already dead!

Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty!

Ah!Father, even you don't want Xiang'er anymore, hahahaha.

Princess, princess, don't scare the old slave, imperial doctor, look at the princess!Grandma Zhuang looked at Tianxiang and laughed a few times and fell down, she was so frightened that she was paralyzed.

In the princess's room, the imperial doctor took Tianxiang's pulse, and suddenly there was a slight abnormality on his face, but he recovered quickly. The prince waited anxiously for the imperial doctor's answer. Seeing that the imperial doctor had taken Tianxiang's pulse, he immediately stepped forward to ask How about the princess?

When it came back to the prince, the princess was just overwhelmed with grief, and would faint if she couldn't bear it, and it would be fine to wait for the minister to prescribe a tranquilizing medicine.

How about the child in the princess' womb?

Please rest assured, Prince, everything is fine with the child.

That's good, Mammy, you guys take good care of the princess, and I will leave the funeral affairs of the son-in-law to others.

Yes, Prince, please mourn too.

Mammy, can I take a step to speak?Seeing that the prince had gone out, the imperial physician asked Nanny Zhuang.

Is there something wrong with the princess?Seeing that the imperial physician was so cautious, Madam Zhuang asked worriedly.

Does the princess invite other imperial physicians to ask for the Ping An pulse?

No, the son-in-law also had some opinions on medical skills when he was alive, so the princess's fetus was seen by the son-in-law himself. If you ask me this, my lord, is there any problem?

Mammy is too worried, both adults and children are fine, you can find someone to fetch the medicine with this prescription.

Okay, thank you, my lord.
