Rebirth: Raising an Emperor as a Wife

In Ciyuan Palace, Empress Xue changed into plain clothes, and took off all the extremely gorgeous beaded flowers on her head, and slowly adjusted her makeup in front of the mirror.

Zhu'er took a look and smiled knowingly, "Is Mr. Liu coming over today?"

Empress Xue paused her hand, "Speak up,"

Hearing the harsh tone, Zhu'er was so frightened that she straightened her expression and dared not speak.

Empress Xue picked out a pure white jade hairpin from the jewelry pile, and handed it to Zhu'er, "I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight, let's wait."

After careful consideration, Zhu'er realized that she was referring to the Ciming Palace, and she still didn't believe it.

"Didn't Xueniang say that there is nothing serious? Why did Niangniang say that?"

Empress Xue smiled lightly, her face under the lamp was bright and bright without any trace of tiredness.

"Those are just the empress dowager's plan to delay the attack. Her old man is afraid. If you don't settle down, how dare you let people know."

After Queen Xue finished speaking, she lightly patted Zhu'er's hand, "Tonight, I have made you wronged."

Zhu'er was wronged at first, but after hearing this sentence, tears came down.His mouth still expresses loyalty,

"The servant is not wronged, the servant knows that the empress will always stand up for the servant."

"I know about it," Queen Xue smiled,

"It's just this scene, which makes me appreciate more and more."

"In this palace, there hasn't been anyone who dares to play tricks with me for a long time, so it's a bit lonely."

Zhu'er panicked, "Niang Niang, if the Sixth Highness is kept, I'm afraid there will be more troubles."

When Empress Xue heard this, she gave Zhu'er a glance, and she was so frightened that Zhu'er's hands trembled, and she knelt down with a 'plop'.

"The servant made a slip of the tongue, please punish me."

"When will the fate of a prince be decided by you alone? Jing Er is right, you are indeed bold."

Zhu'er broke out in a cold sweat, "I know I was wrong, I beg your mother to forgive me, I will never dare again."

Only then did Empress Xue's face turn pale, "Get up, if you are so arrogant again, I'm afraid someone will plot against you one day, and then don't blame me for being cruel."

Zhu'er nodded her head, "This servant will never dare again, this servant will never dare again."

Xue Yao came back from Xinlan Hall without any delay, and went directly into the courtyard of the Empress Dowager's bedroom.

The room that was busy just now has become deserted.

The door of the Empress Dowager's room was closed tightly, and the imperial physician was treating her inside.There was a small dim light outside, beside the light, Jing Yi rested his forehead with one hand, full of tiredness.

Xue Yao didn't know if he was asleep or awake.He tried his best to keep his footsteps as light as possible, but before he got close, the man raised his head, "You're back."

"Um,"

"Xiaoba sent back?"

"Ah."

"Then you can go outside with me for a walk,"

"it is good."

In the Empress Dowager's yard, there are some green plants with big leaves and few flowers. The old people don't like these, so even in autumn, they are very lush.

The night is already very deep, in the dark night, a crescent moon hangs in the sky, but there is no star. The birds that were very lively in the past have been moved to the outer hall because of the empress dowager's poor sleep. .

At this time, there was no one around, and it seemed even more silent.

The night wind blows, bringing with it the scent of sandalwood, and a little coolness.

Xue Yao took off his coat and put it on Jing Yi, "Your Highness, don't worry, everything will be fine."

"Just now Xueniang told me,"

Jing Yi's voice was a little choked up, and the figure standing behind was full of sadness, which made Xue Yao sound very bad.

"The empress dowager has a broken rib, and may have injured her internal organs. Doctor Qiu is a little helpless."

It’s over.

Xue Yao was really afraid of such a result, even though the queen mother of the previous life also went there at about this time, but this time, it was he who opened the curtain of death with his own hands.

He put his trembling hands on Jing Yi's shoulders, but found that the man's body was shaking even more.He suddenly lost the courage to admit his mistake,

"Your Highness..."

His answer was silent sobs.

Xue Yao let out a long sigh, took him into his arms, and let the rolling tears drip on his hands.

It's hot and it hurts.

His eyes were red from the pain, and he even lowered his voice so that no one could hear his strangeness.

"Your Highness, if you want to cry, just cry, don't be afraid, I'm still here."

Concubine Chen Gui is gone, and the Queen Mother is also gone. From now on, no one will really love this poor child again.

"Don't be afraid, Jing'er, Xi Nian is here."

The hot tears dripped faster.

In the middle of the night, Xue Niang came out to spread the word, saying that the queen mother had invited her.

Judging from Xueniang's mournful expression, it seems that the queen mother is really dying.

Xue Yao helped Jing Yi step by step into the house, and further forward, behind the heavy screen partition, came the weak breathing of the Queen Mother, Xue Yao let go, "Go, the Queen Mother is waiting for you."

He had to walk these few steps alone.

When Xue Yao came out, Xueniang was arranging people to report to the palace.

After the palace people dispersed, the nanny who had been with the queen mother through countless ups and downs finally couldn't hide her tears. Xue Yao stood quietly behind for a moment before walking out with heavy steps.

Xue Niang heard the sound of footsteps approaching, wiped away the tears on her face with a handkerchief, and when she looked at Xue Yao again, she was the calm and majestic nanny in the past, who could not be underestimated at all. with some hope,

"In the future, please take care of His Highness the Sixth Highness, he is really a poor boy."

Xue Yao was grateful from the bottom of his heart to everyone who was kind to Jing Yi, and nodded seriously,

"The humble staff will desperately protect His Highness the Sixth Highness, so you should take care of yourself, Mommy."

"We're all old, and we don't have the ability to take care of other people anymore," Xue Niang said with a bleak smile, "Everyone, take care of yourself from now on."

The autumn wind was getting heavier again, and the moonlight was hidden in the dark clouds, very quiet and dark.

Xue Yao stood in the empty yard, suddenly feeling cool.

The latest person to step into the Ciming Palace is the eighth princess. The eighth princess looked at the empty courtyard with a wrong face, and asked cautiously, "How is grandma? Where is my sixth brother?"

Xue Yao, "Go back to the Eighth Princess, His Highness Six is ​​talking with the Queen Mother."

Xueniang looked calm, "Princess first go to the hall to have tea."

The eighth princess didn't expect that she was the first to arrive, and she entered the inner room a little at a loss. Since the queen mother was talking to the sixth brother, she didn't dare to disturb her.

Xu Guiren was the second to arrive, and since she was frightened last time, this was the first time she showed up in front of people, and she asked Xue Niang a few words with a hoarse voice, and it was said that her voice was completely broken.

Xue Yao recalled that time when he heard that clear and melodious voice in Guanli Pavilion, it was a pity that he would never hear it again.
