However, the Empress Dowager was sick this time and was in great force. She couldn't get in, but she kept having diarrhea. In the end, the stool was bleeding. The person obviously lost weight. After changing several prescriptions, it was not very good. In the end, the Imperial Hospital used fire door skewers, grind clam powder, cooked rhubarb, mulch, and cloves to swallow. At first, the symptoms were slightly relieved, but soon after, the person became more and more atrophy, and the emperor was so anxious that he suspended all government affairs and stayed at the empress dowager's bed to serve the disease himself.

The Empress Dowager also got a little better. She took medicine that day and leaned against the bed frame and talked to the emperor, saying, "I have seen you. I have been confused these two days. I always feel that someone is standing by the bed. I opened my eyes in the middle of the night and it turned out to be him."

When she talked about the late emperor, she had a smile on her face, as if she had returned to her eighteen years old. She took a few breaths and said slowly: "He is still wearing the casual clothes I made for him, standing there without saying a word. Just looking at me with concern, I know he is worried about me too. I don't know how long will it take for my illness? If something happens, people are still in Chengde, and I will make trouble for the arrangement of the return to Beijing..." As she said, she gasped again, looking at the emperor, "While the soul is still there, hurry up and pack up and return to the palace immediately..."

The emperor was so heartbroken that she said, and he held her hand and said, "You have a deep blessing, but you are sick by chance. Don't think about it in a narrow place."

The Empress Dowager shook her head with difficulty, "I know my body, I know that Chengde is like continuing his fate with you, Ama, and I am happy. He has been gone for five years, and I have been able to endure every day for these five years. I always want to be alone there and be lonely. If I have something in my heart, I will tell who should I say to. If I really die now, I will just go to accompany him, that would be great."

But the emperor could not follow her and said sincerely: "You only care about me, Ama, and ignore your son? And Chang Nian, she is about to give birth to a young prince. She agreed to bring the child back to see you when he is one year old. You don't care about these things anymore, and you just want to leave them alone?"

A little glow finally burst out from the Queen Mother's unsightly eyes, "Oh, yes, Chang Nian is about to give birth..."

Only then did Yixing realize that Princess Zhaozhuang's nickname was Chang Nian. Because the princess had to marry far away when she grew up, she gave this name, which was also the queen mother's reluctance and concern.

The emperor said right, "You are always worried about the emperor's heir and have not seen your children and grandchildren around you. Now I go to see me. Ama may not blame you. I will raise you well, but a small dysentery will be alive."

The empress dowager was told by him that she seemed to have been resting and died, but soon afterwards she fell asleep again. Even the imperial physician shook her head and said that the illness was really dangerous.

Seeing this, the concubines who came to visit all retreated to the corridor and cried bitterly. The neither high nor low cry made the moonlight and the sound of the river even more shrouded in a miserable mist.

At this time, this is the most taboo. Yixing was unhappy and quit and scolded them in a low voice, "What's the moment? If you don't say that, go to pray for the empress dowager, you ran here to cry. Look at whoever cries hard, whoever will be rewarded?"

The concubines were rebuked by her and they were silent. This was the case. How deep the relationship between these people and the Queen Mother could have, shed tears just for the sake of the Concubine. There was no sense of sincerity, and there was no meaning at all.

She glanced at them coldly, "The imperial physician advised two days ago that the palace was very damp and the empress dowager could not handle it, so she would go back to the capital if she spoke. You will go back to pack up and take the important ones with you. This time, the carriages and horses will be reduced. Each palace will squeeze in, and you can't be as generous as when you came. It will only take ten days to bear it. You will be here."

As a result, Yupin was about to show off at this time and said in embarrassment: "We have left the palace, and there are many people who serve us around us. Look, it's not easy to squeeze."

If it were replaced by Concubine Yu, in order not to offend both sides, they would definitely discuss with them, or take a step back and reduce the number of vehicles in form. Unfortunately, the old lady is not Concubine Yu. Her phoenix eyes were staring at Concubine Yu, as if she was trying to stare into a hole. After a while, she suddenly smiled, "If anyone is afraid of being crowded, then stay in the palace for the time being. Wait until the emperor comes to escape the summer heat next year, and then follow him back to Beijing."

In this way, no one dares to say that it is no longer a word. The empress dowager is sick here. Will the emperor come next year? Staying in the palace is equivalent to being exiled to the concubines. This time, let alone squeeze, even if they are asked to hike back to the capital, they will do it.

So when the old aunt called to scatter, everyone immediately went back to their places and Malier packed up her things.

The emperor came out of it and sighed and said, "The Empress Dowager is going back to the palace. According to this condition, it is indeed a good idea to go back. But after all, I am afraid that the road is far away and her body cannot withstand bumps."

This was indeed a dilemma. Yixing thought for a while and said, "I had to think about it in the chariot, put something soft on the four corners, and lay another layer of boards on it. Try to slow down the road and reduce bumps... I can only feel at ease when I return to the palace."

In fact, no one dares to say the truth behind it. If such a serious dysentery is really not going to improve, it will indeed cause death. Returning to the palace is a complete preparation at present. As the Empress Dowager said, if things come out, everything will be easy to arrange.

So I made a concerted effort and did not delay since I made a decision. This time I returned to Beijing, it was a light chariot. The ministers and the harem masters were indispensable. Only one of the concubines served each other, and the remaining personnel made other arrangements. There were fewer people, and the work was less. When I came, I spent more than ten days. I went back day and night, and it took only seven days to arrive at the Forbidden City.

Along the way, Yi Xing was in the empress dowager's carriage, helping Madam Yun and Li Yi take care of the empress dowager. The empress dowager's situation was better than when she was in Chengde. She could get into porridge and not pass the government room for up to half a day. Madam Yun said that food could be kept in her stomach, which was a good sign. Only by keeping it can one grow vitality and one could slowly recover.

When they entered Shenwu Gate, they saw Concubine Yu and several concubines who were staying in the palace kneeling beside Dao'er, all in brocade clothes and jade-covered heads. Compared to them, Yixing was not at all. He took off his hairpin and ears on his head these two days, and he looked like a big girl serving people.

The Queen Mother sometimes woke up and felt very guilty when she saw her appearance, "My illness has dragged you down. There are people in front of me to take good care of your master. It is important to take good care of your master."

Yixing just laughed, "There are Huaien and others around me, so I don't have to serve you. I can't help here, but I'll just fight Madam Yun and Aunt Liyi."

Li Yi was still frightened when she heard her call her, "You are now the empress, and your future is even more limitless after returning to the palace. You even call your slave aunt, and you are becoming more and more troubled to survive."

But she still said modestly as usual: "Everyone around the Queen Mother is exposed to the Queen Mother's glory. In my eyes, I am superior and I deserve to call my aunt."

This is the reason for her. On the one hand, she has indeed received such teaching at home. The old lady’s room is decent, let alone the empress dowager’s personal female official. On the other hand, it is a bit rough. The King of Hell is so difficult to deal with. The empress dowager likes you but doesn’t work. The empress dowager’s ears are soft and can’t resist the eye drops around her day and night. But if it happens the opposite, if someone says good things every day, then whether it goes well or not will be a big hit.

The chariot reached the front of Shunzhen Gate. Because there was a threshold, there was no way to continue moving forward, so I changed the chariot. Yixing and the emperor supported each other and waited for the empress dowager to sit down.

Concubine Yu and Concubine Gong, Concubine Yiyuan also wanted to show her diligence, but she had no choice but to reach out and finally she could only watch them go far away.

Concubine Yi snorted, "This Concubine Chun is really a personal character. Look, the empress dowager and the emperor are probably moved by this pitiful look, and they treat her more and more as their own."

Concubine Gong smiled with her sleeves, "Didn't you two hear me? She blocked the empress dowager and is now a real hero. In addition, she served her as a servant, so no one will be her opponent in the future."

Concubine Zhen interrupted at the right time, "The three empresses did not go to Chengde, and they didn't know what happened inside. It is said that the death of the concubine is also related to her... Now she is still begging for the queen mother, how could the queen mother be ill this time? Isn't it because of the concubine's trouble?"

As a result, the white one turned black, and rumors spread in the harem that Concubine Chun offended Hefei Yin Ling and caused trouble for the Empress Dowager. The news spread to Yongshou Palace and into Yixing's ears.

Yixing just sighed after hearing this: "I originally told the emperor that it was not easy for the concubines in the harem. Now it seems that I have been in vain."

Hello, I, Hello, everyone, this kind of thing is generally difficult to do. Since those people are so unhappy, there is no need to think about them anymore.

Yin Zhu said: "Yue Xing'er sued the Cining Palace and asked the Empress Dowager to comment on this."

Yixing said no, "The Empress Dowager has just improved a little. Once I disturbed her, all the credits in the previous chapter will be gone. Don't worry, there is no need to spread the word here. Cining Palace will soon follow the news."

Sure enough, when she went to ask the Queen Mother for a while, while Madam Yun was serving the rice soup, she lowered her eyes and ordered Chunchen: "Send someone and check who said that words came from. The harem has lost the queen in the past two years, and the imperial concubine is a good person, making the rules unruly and unruly. Find out who said it, take her to Yongshou Palace, let her kneel in the yard, and hold her mouth twenty in front of all the servants, so that the concubines in the harem will have a long memory."

Yi Xing was a little embarrassed and said softly: "Empress Dowager, the palace maid is not slapped. Since she is a concubine, she will only be afraid of being decent."

The Empress Dowager was very calm, "This is to establish your authority for you, so that they know what to say and what not to say. There should be some rules in this palace. It was like a mess of sand for two or three years, and the three palaces and six courtyards each had their own thoughts and had their own ulterior motives, making the city alleys the same. I'm sorry to the emperor."

So not long after, a gossiping Zhen nobleman was crossed by two Jingqi nannies and led to Yongshou Palace.

The begonia in Yongshou Palace has already shed, and only the increasingly dense branches and leaves are left, rustling by the wind.

This time, Concubine Zhen was not as usual. Qingshui's little face was so scared that she was thrown into the middle of the yard. She looked up, and Hanzhen and Yinzhu stood behind her, all of whom were looking at her with expressionless faces. She had to ask with a face and say that Concubine Chun was kind, "This is what I heard from other places. I don't know what evil I was caught that day, but I said it without thinking... Empress, you are the kindest person, so forgive me this time."

But the old aunt was still unmoved and said indifferently: "This time it's not that I want to punish you, but the Empress Dowager, Old Buddha, thinks that you should give me an explanation. At this point, there is nothing to beg for. You should be a hero. "As a hero, you should be a hero." As he said that, he glanced at the nanny Jingqi next to him.

Jingqi is both powerful figures. Without saying a word, he stepped forward, rolled up his sleeves and arched left and right, and beat him.

The little head of Concubine Zhen was not something she could do. Don’t come over her face, and she threw her hairpin away. She frightened Pan Tao, who was kneeling beside her, and slapped her upper teeth and slapped her lower teeth like malaria.

Twenty mouths were even more embarrassing than death. Jingqi counted steadily and gave in to the side. Only then did Yixing see Zhen Guiren's face, which was red and swollen, and could hardly see her true face. Anyone with a little bit of aura would probably hit her head to death, but she was fine. Although she cried, she still cherished her life. She was helped up by the peach and returned to her Yikun Palace crookedly.

Hanzhen was angry and funny, "That's over? He didn't even thank him for his kindness."

Yixing waved his hand, "I have been beaten, why are you thanking me? Now I have become famous in this harem, and in the future I will become more and more thorns in their eyes and thorns in their flesh."

Yin Zhu grinned and said, "When aren't you here? Since the Queen Mother wants to establish her authority for you, think about your future prospects! The more they hate you, the higher you climb, the higher you climb, that is, they want their teeth to itch and they can't do anything to you. You will see the heaven and earth showing off in front of them and anger them all to death, which will really relieve their hatred!" tt

The three of them joked for a while, and when they saw Dimao, they carefully dressed up, shaking the round fan and walking into the enclosure room behind the Yangxin Palace.

Because Concubine Zhen was beaten in Yongshou Palace, Yi was now walking into the Dongwei Room, and all the lowly concubines stood up to salute her. Even the three concubines forced out to smile. Not to mention whether they were convinced from the bottom of their hearts, they were able to live up to their faces.

"I said earlier that Zhengui's population is unrestrained and will cause a big disaster sooner or later. I will let you take more control, but you don't listen." The imperial concubine stroked the swallow's tail, and in a few words, he pushed the blame on Concubine Gong.

Concubine Gong is the master of Yikun Palace. She is in front of the Concubine Zhen, and is a group of wolf and dogs. She has repeatedly squeezed out the old aunt. At this moment, Concubine Zizhen overturned the car and was worried that she could not be cleared. The Concubine said this and immediately annoyed her, "Sister's words are out of place. Although she lives in the same palace as me, she is not my slave. Besides, she followed her entourage to Rehe, but I didn't go. What should she say when she comes back? I'm not in control! The left is just a ignorant gossip, who can take her seriously? Concubine Chun punished her hard this time to teach her a lesson. At least she still has the position of being a noble person, and she will be grateful."

They were about to fight in the nest, and Yixing could see it clearly. There were indeed no eternal enemies, nor eternal friends in the world. These people were good at calculating and lacked strategy, so they were no longer afraid. Therefore, when they were back and forth, she was a little excited, and just turned her head to Hanzhen and said, "I turned around and asked if I had repaired it."

The imperial concubine said with a sharp ear, "Is the Yongshou Palace not expensive enough? Why do I need to repair the blanket?"

Yi Xing said with a whisper: "That blanket was left before. I think it's good, but it's a long time and two parts have been eaten by insects. Let the Ministry of Internal Affairs weave it and it will be the same as new."

So everyone was silent and stopped talking, thinking that they had not yet taken the lead, and they were going to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. So when everyone wants to eat an egg in the future, do they have to look forward to it?

Everyone looked at her, and Yixing finally noticed it and said strangely: "What's wrong? The broken things cannot be weaved, so I can only throw them away?" He said with a smile, "After all, I like to talk about everything in the palace. This was not the case in our family earlier. The embroidered stylus in my erine was broken, and it was filled up layer by layer. I also said that the old objects were used to get together and I couldn't bear to throw them away."

Look, this is to make the Shang family clear. They have been greedy for three years of tax revenue, and they are still promoting frugality. Why do you think so weak?

But no matter whether it is false or not, Xu Sa came back with the silver plate and went to the door to hand in, "Long live the emperor, today, I have read the sign of Concubine Chun, please prepare to pick him up."

Yixing stood up and said, "Yes, and the rest of the people also slowly got up and slowly dispersed."

In fact, everyone knows that for a long time, they will join in the fun and accompany the guests. The process of flipping brands is just a form, just a star of hope for the unwilling self.

As usual, Huai'en led his aunt into the emperor's bedroom. While she was wondering whether to go to bed first or to sit on the edge of the bed and wait for him, he had already washed up and came in.

This time, I came in directly wearing my bed clothes. Seeing that she was still standing there, I asked in surprise: "What's wrong? Do I want me to change your clothes for you?"

Yi Xing's movements were a little slower, so he really came up to relieve her. He said, "I'm going to pass by Cining Palace today. I've seen the pulse of the Queen Mother. The dampness and coldness are getting lighter and lighter. I will be in good health in less than two days. I was in Chengde before, and I really scared me. I just couldn't say that I had such a serious illness. I also had a bad premonition in my heart, for fear that something would happen."

He took off her clothes and pulled her down again. She kicked her shoes and said, "I'm going to pay my respects today. The Queen Mother said a lot to me. Her youth was obvious and her face improved. Madam Yun said that now she can keep rice soup five or six times a day. This is a great joy."

The emperor pursed his lips and smiled, "You have your contributions in it. You serve the Empress Dowager in one's life. The Empress Dowager sees it all. Today, I told me that Concubine Chun is a good person, not only filial, but also has the ability to take charge of the harem. He said that when she is slightly better, she will choose a lucky day to promote your position."

When talking about promotion, the old lady was happy, "This time I can be on par with Concubine Yu, and I don't have to salute her when I see her."

The emperor said more than just, "She has to salute you. The Empress Dowager said that there must be someone in charge of the affairs in the palace. The palace affairs have been orderly in the past two years. That is why the places that should be slim down are not dug deep. If they are taken out, they are afraid they will be like mud in the old lotus pond and are stinky. The Empress Dowager said that the imperial concubine of the Jin Dynasty will take charge of the affairs of the six palaces, and then they will be able to talk about it for a while."

Yi Xing sat cross-legged on the bed. At first glance, the imperial concubine of Jin was still a little relieved. "I entered the palace just for this position. Now I really did it, it was like a dream."

The emperor leaned loosely on the big siding pillow, with one leg on his legs and one hand on his knees, and was still sighing about her path to promotion, "It only took eight months from the palace maid to the imperial concubine. Even if you step on the watermelon skin, you will not be as fast as you."

Yixing held his arm and bared his teeth, "Isn't there anyone in the court easy to be an official?"

As an official, she has to be a bad person. Cheng Zi has been with the Empress Dowager. Because the Empress Dowager is seriously ill, he has never cared about anything else. Today, he resumed the sign-up, and only then did he remember that he had been away for a few days. This made him feel a little aggrieved. He must hold her and say it carefully.

"My Cistanche is almost blooming," he whispered.

Yi Xing was surprised, "Why?"

He said, "I miss you."

Yi Xing blushed. This man always likes to say these unreasonable words!

She twisted and stretched her hands for him. The emperor liked to see her making these little people feel affectionate, so he asked, "Don't you serve me to bed?"
Chapter completed!
