"What's wrong with the empress dowager now?" Wen Wenlan has been staying in Fengtian Hall for a day. As soon as Lin Qingguo came out of the bedroom, Wen Wenlan asked him to ask, "The empress dowager was fine before, why did his condition suddenly worsen?"

This winter, the Southern Dynasty likes auspicious snowfall. I thought it was a good omen, but I didn’t expect that God had just passed the New Year and made such a blow. Even if it was the emperor, there was nothing I could do.

Lin Qingguo and Lin Qingcheng both knelt in front of Wen Wenlan and saluted respectfully.

"The Empress Dowager has been suffering from an old disease for many years. Although she was recuperating a few days ago, she could not stop her condition from getting worse. Now she has been in a winter and can't hide her disease. It's a matter of time before." Lin Qingguo paused, and she pursed her lips slightly, exchanged eyes with Lin Qingcheng beside her, blinked, and said seriously, "Please forgive me for the sin of superficial medical skills. I can only protect the Empress Dowager for another month..."

The last three words, along with the anxiety and helplessness in their hearts, are the duty of treating the empress dowager to be loyal to the emperor and the duty of being a doctor, but now they are unable to perform their duties.

Wen Wenlan trembled his hands and stroked his forehead. She closed her eyes. She didn't say much, but she brewed for a long time before gradually digesting the information.

She was the emperor and enjoyed the power of life and death. She took the lives of others easily, but could not save her mother.

"Does the Queen Mother know?" Wen Wenlan calmed down and tried to make her voice sound calmer.

"Know."

Her throat rolled, Wen Wenlan swallowed all her emotions. She was silent for a moment before she slowly spoke, "What should the Queen Mother say?"

Wen Wenlan guessed that the Empress Dowager had been hiding his condition for a long time and could not hide it anymore. She only knew that the Empress Dowager understood everything and the Empress Dowager knew her physical condition clearly. Since this is the case, I believe that some of the Empress Dowager’s previous plans were also purposeful. Then, what plans did the Empress Dowager have afterwards?

"The Queen Mother said nothing."

Wen Wenlan took a breath and waved his hand, allowing Lin Qingguo and Lin Qingcheng to go down.

The Imperial Hospital said so much, and no one else could count on it.

"Your Majesty..." Buyu stepped forward a little to comfort Wen Wenlan, but he didn't know where to start, so he had to squat down next to Wen Wenlan's feet and silently accompany her.

Wen Wenlan exclaimed: "I sent an order to Prince Su, Prince Duan, and the eldest princess came to the palace to serve the disease from time to time, and everything else would be the same."

Looking at Wen Wenlan's tightly held arms, he looked up at Wen Wenlan again. Seeing her calm face, the force from her arm betrayed her heart.

"By the way, the emperor will get married at the beginning of next month." Wen Wenlan frowned slightly, "I told him to have time and take Princess Duan into the palace to take a look."

Wen Wenlan suddenly understood why the high priest of Tianjiansi advised her to change the wedding date of the emperor last year. This was not the high priest's idea, but the empress dowager's idea. The empress dowager was afraid that she would not see the emperor's marriage. Wen Wenlan suddenly remembered that the empress dowager had been asking about the emperor's marriage for a while.

Why didn't I hear the unspoken words at that time?

"Abide by the order." He responded without saying a word, and his palm covered the back of Wen Wenlan's hand and said softly, "Your Majesty, the servants are all here."

Wen Wenlan slowly opened her eyes. Although there was sadness in her eyes, the emperor should have had a lot of perseverance. She stroked the pattern on Buyu's shoulder with one hand and looked calm.

"You are waiting here, I will go in and see the Queen Mother."

The empress dowager was lying on the bed, and it seemed that she was asleep. Su Jin'er and Liu Yu'er were guarding the empress dowager's bed, and their faces were not abnormal. It seemed that they had known about the empress dowager's situation for a long time. Dongying lowered her head and couldn't see her expression clearly.

Wen Wenlan sat next to the empress dowager's bed for a while. She helped the empress dowager tuck the corners of the quilt and then went out, saying nothing, and there was no need to say anything.

After leaving the Empress Dowager's bedroom, Wen Wenlan put on Wuyu's arm and said, "Let's go, Buyan has been waiting for me in Yingyue Palace for a day."

He helped Wen Wenlan to the imperial chase without hesitation. Before he could take two steps, he sighed when Wen Wenlan leaned against the imperial chase, "The capital is so big, I can't find anyone to share my worries except you."

I heard it without saying a word, thinking about how to reply, but I heard Wen Wenlan change his mind and speak on his own.

"I have finished eating plum candy. Now I miss the smell of plum candy, and the sour and sweet taste is comfortable."

He turned his eyes without saying a word and continued, "Tomorrow, the slave will tell you that Zhao Shunran will enter the palace."

As he said that, he raised his eyes without saying a word and continued with some caution, "If Your Majesty really misses the smell of plum candy, then will the servant go to announce the imperial edict tonight that Zhao Shunran will enter the palace?"

Yu caught up with the silence for a moment before Wen Wenlan's voice came.

"No need tonight, just eat it tomorrow." Wen Wenlan lowered his eyes, "I'm not that anxious yet."

Back at the Shadow Moon Palace, Wen Wenlan went to bed early under the sermon and Dongleng's service. She tossed and turned all night and lit the incense of peace and soul, and could still sleep for a while.

After coming out of the Political Affairs Hall the next day, Buyan reported that Prince Duan had entered the palace. Wen Wenlan knew that the emperor must have gone to Fengtian Hall to visit his mother, so he went back to the imperial study room directly.

Wen Wenlan reviewed memorials for a long time in the imperial study room. As soon as he put down his pen, he heard the news that Zhao Shunran, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, had arrived.

"Your Majesty, the one who sent the plum candy is here." He turned to Wen Wenlan without saying a word and said.

Wen Wenlan walked off the table, sat down on the soft couch beside him, "Xuan."

Zhao Shunran was dressed in neat official uniforms. He entered the imperial study room, stood in front of Wen Wenlan, and saluted respectfully, "My minister Zhao Shunran would like to pay his respects to Your Majesty."

Buyu pulled Buyan and took a step back.

"No gift."
