Bai Yueguang, the stand-in for Prince Sick Jiao

After the beginning of winter, the weather in the capital is gradually getting colder. Occasionally, a gust of new wind blows, making the dead leaves rattle.

The stove got up early in Fengyi Palace, the empress closed her eyes slightly and leaned on the soft cushion, as if she was asleep, even her breathing was extremely light.

Qingdai opened the curtain, came in with the medicine, and called out softly: "Your Majesty, it's time to drink the medicine."

Hearing the sound, the queen lifted her heavy eyelids, saw the black medicinal juice, and shook her head lightly: "Take it, I don't want to drink any more medicine."

"Your Majesty, how can you get better if you don't drink medicine? This servant knows that you are not used to the smell of medicine, but even for His Royal Highness, you still have to drink it."

The queen rubbed her temples and sighed: "Is there anything I'm not used to? It's just that I feel better now, so I don't need to take medicine anymore."

"But Doctor Sun said" Qing Dai naturally didn't believe this, and wanted to persuade her again, but the queen interrupted her.

"I haven't recovered from the medicine I've taken for so long, it's okay to take one or two less, just take it." After finishing speaking, she closed her eyes again.

Qing Dai hesitated for a moment, but still took the medicine and went out.

Seeing her coming out with the medicine again, Chun Lin glanced into the bedroom and asked, "Your Majesty still doesn't want to take the medicine?"

"Your Majesty, are you awake?" Ling Youyao rubbed her numb arm and smiled sarcastically.

She was a good queen, but only a queen.

Until the next moment, he suddenly asked: "Wanwan, are you homesick?"

Sun Fuzhi reported the matter to Fu Xiuyun and asked for his opinion before stopping the queen's medicine.

Qingdai got up quickly when she heard the movement, Fu Xiuyun signaled her to keep quiet, and walked lightly to the queen.

When Chunlin came to look for him, he was about to ask the queen for peace pulse, so he followed Chunlin to Fengyi Palace.

"Well, since the beginning of winter, the empress doesn't want to drink medicine anymore, so what can I do if I don't drink medicine? Seeing that the weather is getting colder and colder, the imperial doctor said that the empress can't survive this winter," Qing Dai said, her voice choked up, "now the empress And refused to take the medicine, I, I was really scared in my heart."

Wanwan is the queen's boudoir name.

Ling Youyao didn't disturb her, and quietly stayed by her side.

The queen was startled suddenly, her eyes as quiet as an ancient pool were filled with water in an instant.On the first day she married into the East Palace, Fu Xiuyun also asked her this sentence, but at that time she knew: she would never go back in this life.
She bit her lip, desperately trying to suppress the churning pain in her heart, but Lu Shan's family was at stake, how could she just laugh it off?

Qing Dai said that since His Majesty came to Fengyi Palace that day, the Empress would always go to the turret to stay for an hour or two every day, just looking at the rolling green hills in the distance, lost in thought, not knowing what she was thinking.

I haven't seen her in a month, and the beautiful and gentle face in my memory is already haggard. Even though I fell asleep, the pair of beautiful eyebrows are still slightly furrowed, as if filled with infinite sadness.

On this day, Fu Xiuyun didn't approve the papers, so he went to Chongwen Museum to pick up Fu Yunchen, and then took his son to Fengyi Palace.

The queen saw the unexplained melancholy in his eyes and the faint worry on his brows, and didn't understand why he said such words.

The queen thought he was weird, but she didn't say anything, she just shook her head: "Your Majesty is busy with government affairs, how can my concubines blame you? Your Majesty should take good care of the dragon's body, and don't work too hard."

"it is good"

But Fu Xiuyun didn't seem to feel her tightening her ten fingers, and just let her grab him, watched her sob and cry, watched her sob silently, finally hugged her into his arms, and comforted her softly: "I'm sorry, I am sorry for you, you are the daughter of the Xie family, you should be the same as Xie Heng."

The sky was dim, candles were lit in the hall, and the light blue curtain swayed slightly with the cold wind blowing in from outside the door, and the people behind the curtain became ethereal.

After the empress became seriously ill, Fu Xiuyun hadn't set foot in Fengyi Palace for a month, and now when he came back, the scenery in front of him was still the same as before, but the smell of medicine in the air was declaring that the people inside were terminally ill.

She wanted to go home, dreamed of going home.
That night, the queen cried for a long time, and Fu Xiuyun comforted her tirelessly, until she fell into a deep sleep before leaving.

It was getting colder and colder, and thick cumulus clouds piled on top of each other, pressing heavily on the top of the head, making people a little breathless.

After Sun Zhongxing retired and returned to his hometown, Sun Fuzhi stayed in the Imperial Hospital all the time, both for the empress' illness and for his own safety.

Chun Lin sighed deeply: "My lady doesn't want to drink medicine, it's useless for you to persuade me, so how about it, I'll ask Imperial Physician Sun to come over and take a look, and take good care of my lady."

Sun Fuzhi took the queen's pulse and found that her pulse was better than before, but he was not happy because such a pulse was just a flashback
The Queen's time is numbered.

Ling Youyao thought, the queen probably wants to go home.
It seems that the sickness is getting worse, and the time for the queen to fall into a deep sleep is getting longer and longer.Ling Youyao sat like this for a long time, until she fell asleep on the table in a daze, only to find that the queen had woken up.

On October 29th, Ling Youyao went to the palace to visit the queen.

When they arrived at Fengyi Palace, the queen was resting in a rocking chair with a thick blanket covering her body, her complexion was as white as snow, and she was only breathing slightly.

The queen's illness has not improved, and the prescription Sun Fuzhi prescribed can only lift her spirits. She probably foresaw her own end, so she didn't want to take the medicine anymore.

The queen threw herself into his arms and wept bitterly, the sadness that had been suppressed for a long time finally collapsed completely in his "I'm sorry".

Fu Xiuyun held her hand, as if he said to himself: "You entered the palace at the age of 14, became my concubine at the age of 16, and gave birth to Chen'er at the age of 17. I made you a queen. Counting the days carefully, I seem to have already trapped you in the palace for 12 years."

Fu Xiuyun said: "Lie down well, I have been busy with government affairs these days, and I will see you in the future for a long time, will you blame me?"

Lushan is more than a hundred miles away from the capital city. Looking from the turret, you can just see Lushan hidden between heaven and earth.

Perhaps it was because Fu Xiuyun's gaze was too heavy, the queen suddenly opened her eyes, and when she saw Fu Xiuyun, she was a little surprised and wanted to get up, but he held her shoulders.

Fu Xiuyun had heard such words countless times, from the first day she married into the East Palace, he had heard it.

The queen looked at her with a smile, and said, "Since you're here, why didn't you wake me up? You've been waiting for so long."

"I'm here to see you, as long as I look at you."

Seeing her bright smile, the Empress unconsciously tinged a smile on her lips, and said: "Since Bengong fell ill, Fengyi Palace has become much deserted, and you are the only one who misses Bengong and often comes to visit."

Ling Youyao looked at her pale smile, her throat was a little sore, she forced a smile and said: "Madam, I told the prince that I will be with you in the palace these few days, so don't think I'm annoying."

The queen took her hand and smiled softly: "No, no."
