Chapter 1144: Women’s Insights (2)
The empress had already heard the news of Qin Yu's return to the palace, and was about to rush out, but when she heard that Xie Fanghua had returned to the palace with him, she stopped in her tracks and asked, "Really?"

Ruyi nodded, and whispered, "The prince took Miss Fanghua to see the emperor, and she is now in the emperor's bedroom."

Although the queen had been prepared for a long time, she was still a little surprised, "Is the emperor awake?"

Ruyi shook her head, "The emperor has been in a coma since noon and hasn't woken up yet."

The queen asked again, "Who is in the emperor's bedroom now?"

"Only the prince and Miss Fanghua, and the rest are still blocked outside the palace. Prince Ying and Prime Minister Zuo have been guarding for a day." Ruyi asked tentatively, "Ma'am, are you going now? The prince is back? Are you here?" If it were in the past, the crown prince would definitely let you in to see the emperor."

The emperor stood at the door for a while, looking in the direction of the emperor's bedroom, and after a long time, he said discouragedly, "Forget it, I won't go to the palace."

Ruyi looked at her puzzled.

The queen's complexion was extremely bad, "For many years, I have been looking at the Emperor's bedroom in Fengluan Palace. Although the two halls are not far away, I, the queen, have never been summoned or cannot go in. There are couples in the world who can make us like this!" ?The people of Liming live happily in thousands of households, but who knows that the most honorable and luxurious palace is where husbands are husbands and wives are wives. It’s not about sticking to the three cardinal principles and five constant principles, but the emperor has never had me in his heart. So what if I take a look? "

Ruyi looked at the Queen distressedly, walked over, and stretched out her hand to support her, "The slave will help you to bed and rest."

The queen nodded and let Ruyi help her onto the bed.

Although she went to bed, the queen didn't fall asleep until late at night, and the lights in Fengluan Palace remained on.

Wu Quan brought the supper, Qin Yu said to Xie Fanghua warmly, "You eat some, I will order the imperial dining room to decoct the medicine for you, and you have to take your soup and medicine on time."

Xie Fanghua nodded.

Qin Yu glanced at Wu Quan, Wu Quan understood, and hurried out of the inner hall to look for Shi Hua and Shi Mo for Xie Fanghua's prescription.

Because they are in the imperial palace, Shi Hua and Shi Mo are worried that others will thank Fanghua for their decoction, so they politely said to Wu Quan, "Elder-in-law, just find someone to send the slave and maidservant to the imperial dining room, and we will cook the medicine for Miss. "

"Alright." Wu Quan nodded, waved for a person, and told him to take the two of them to the imperial dining room.

Xie Fanghua didn't have much appetite either. After taking a few mouthfuls, she put down her chopsticks and said to Qin Yu, "You can eat some too."

Qin Yu shook his head, "I can't eat it."

Xie Fanghua stopped talking.

An hour later, Shi Hua and Shi Mo came with the decoction. After Xie Fanghua drank the decoction, looking at the sky, it was already midnight.

The third watch drum was beating, and the sound of the drum seemed to have a heavy and depressing sound.

At four o'clock, the emperor on the bed suddenly moved his eyelids and opened his eyes.

Xie Fanghua had been sitting on the low couch and looking at the bed, so she saw the emperor the first time he woke up.

The emperor seemed to feel something when he woke up. He turned his head slowly and saw Xie Fanghua sitting not far away.

His protruding eyes met Xie Fanghua's.

Xie Fanghua looked at the emperor calmly, without making a sound.

The emperor also looked at him, with countless emotions flashing in his eyes, but he didn't make a sound.

The two looked at each other, the air seemed thin and cold.

Qin Yu has been lying on the head of the bed, holding the emperor's hand with both hands, with his head lowered, his face pressed against the back of the emperor's hand held by his own hands, hurting silently, and did not realize that the emperor had woken up.

The emperor and Xie Fanghua looked at each other for about half a cup of tea when the emperor suddenly coughed.

Qin Yu woke up suddenly, raised his head, looked at the emperor immediately, and said in surprise, "Father, are you awake?"

The emperor coughed so hard that his chest seemed to be coughing up, so he didn't answer him.

Qin Yu got up quickly, but his legs and feet were already numb after sitting on his knees for a long time. Just as he got up, he fell back to the ground and shouted in a hurry, "Hurry up and bring water."

Wu Quan rushed in quickly, took a glass of water, handed it forward, and reached out to help the emperor.

The emperor opened it with a wave of his hand, and the water cup fell out of Wu Quan's hand and shattered to the ground with a "slap".

Wu Quan was shocked, "Your Majesty..."

"Father?" Qin Yu was also a little startled, looking at the emperor.

The emperor coughed profusely, his already pale and bloodless face was flushed from coughing, and his eyes were terribly bloodshot.

"Fanghua!" Qin Yu looked back at Xie Fanghua begging for help.

Xie Fanghua stood up slowly, walked forward slowly, Wu Quan hurriedly moved away from the bed, she stood by the bed and looked at the emperor.

She didn't feel the emperor's pulse. When she arrived, the emperor's coughing stopped abruptly, and his eyes were looking straight at her.

Xie Fanghua also looked at him.

The emperor looked at her for a moment, then suddenly said, "Good, good, good!"

Xie Fanghua was silent.

"What a thank you!" the emperor said again.

Xie Fanghua remained silent.

"You came back on purpose to see that I closed my eyes, didn't you?" The emperor said a few words, but seeing her silent, he stared at her.

Xie Fanghua remained silent.

The emperor suddenly said angrily, "Are you dumb?"

Xie Fanghua looked at him calmly, "It is said that people who are about to die speak well. Your Majesty, seeing me now, you can still be so angry, it really shouldn't be."

The emperor choked, his eyes burst into flames, and he looked at her with eyes that seemed to be eating people.

Xie Fanghua looked at him quietly, "300 years ago, the Northern Qi Dynasty and the Southern Qin Dynasty were divided into courts to fight against the rites. To enrich the country and strengthen the army as soon as possible, with the intention of conquering the opponents and unifying the country. Because the Northern Qi Dynasty is the site of the former capital, as the saying goes, a dead camel is bigger than a horse. Even if the Yu family's vitality is greatly damaged, the comprehensive national strength of the Northern Qi Dynasty is still stronger than that of the Southern Qin Dynasty. The Southern Qin was afraid that the Northern Qi would become rich and powerful in a short period of time, surpassing the Southern Qin, and that the Southern Qin would no longer be an opponent. Therefore, the first emperor repeatedly begged the Xie family to come out of the mountains and enter the world. The Lord was touched by the first emperor, so he used the power of the family to assist Nanqin loyally."

The emperor's eyes were fixed for a moment.

"Because of the Xie clan in Southern Qin, scholars, farmers, and businesses prospered rapidly. In just a hundred years, it was enough to attack the Northern Qi and take over the world. But after a hundred years, the emperor of Southern Qin was no longer the first emperor, and he had already forgotten the contribution of the Xie clan. I have already forgotten the ambition of competing for world dominance, but I can only see that the Xie family is becoming more and more deeply rooted, threatening the imperial power and throne." Xie Fanghua looked at the emperor, "Since a hundred years ago, the Southern Qin Dynasty has been guarding against Xie's family and constantly seizing power overtly. , fighting in secret, obviously the national power is stronger than the Northern Qi, but because of the constant fighting, they can't concentrate on fighting for the world."

There seemed to be something cracked in the emperor's eyes.

"After 200 years like this, when it comes to your generation, the suppression of the Xie family is even worse." Xie Fanghua looked at the emperor, "I only know how to allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch, but I don't remember how there is no Xie family. Qin Jiangshan? Without the Xie family, Southern Qin has long been the fish and meat of the Northern Qi cavalry, ready to be slaughtered. In the past 300 years, how many chances did the Southern Qin have to conquer the Northern Qi? But because of this, they were all abolished, but in the end, the Northern Qi cavalry took the lead in attacking Nanqin. .”

The emperor's eyes opened again.

"The emperors of the Southern Qin Dynasty were not as good as the previous generations. They only knew how to be suspicious and guarded against loyal officials, but the emperors of the Northern Qi Dynasty were wiser, more ambitious, and ambitious. Now, the Northern Qi Dynasty is booming. What about Southern Qin? The hidden mountain collapsed, the master Yinwei secretly murdered, and all the hidden guards of his family turned into sharp swords aimed at his own country and empire. When there are internal and external troubles, Xie family is still needed." Xie Fanghua looked at him, "You want Is it possible that Qingming’s Shi Zhi took away the Xie family as the foundation of the Southern Qin Dynasty and turned it back for a hundred years? If that is true, the Northern Qi Dynasty will be able to drive straight into the Southern Qin Dynasty in a few decades, and the Southern Qin Dynasty will be the same as those countries that destroyed the country in history. , disappeared in the long river of history, so you are satisfied? Do you think you have the face to go to the Nine Springs to meet the first ancestor emperor of Southern Qin?"

The emperor's eyes suddenly cracked, like ice, shattered in an instant, and all the anger and anger on his face faded away.The slightly raised body fell back on the dragon bed.

"Father!" Qin Yu's voice was hoarse, and he leaned forward to check on the emperor.

The emperor suddenly closed his eyes, his face was ashen and silent.

Wu Quan cast a cautious glance at Xie Fanghua, then silently took a step back without making a sound.

Seeing this, Xie Fanghua said calmly, "How many generations of emperors have been blinded by appearances. On the throne of this golden brick and green tile palace, they only remember that they are emperors, but they don't remember that they should be emperors who benefited thousands of people in Southern Qin Dynasty. , but they don’t know the reason why the Qin family and the Xie family can only coexist, without either party, the Southern Qin will surely lose, this is the knot left over from the establishment of the dynasty in history, and it cannot be untied.”

The emperor suddenly spoke, his voice was extremely unpleasant, "Yes, I can't solve it."

Xie Fanghua stopped talking.

The emperor was silent for a moment, and then said, "I never thought that how many generations of Southern Qin emperors are not as insightful as a mere little girl from the Xie family."

Xie Fanghua stopped making a sound.

The emperor suddenly turned his head again to look at Qin Yu.

Qin Yu's eyes were red and bloodshot, seeing him, he called out in a low voice, "Father!"

The emperor looked at Qin Yu for a moment, and said to him, "I have the same vision as you. Back then, I fell in love with a woman who had both ability and political integrity, and was worthy of being the mother of the country. Unfortunately, I am not blessed." After a pause, he said, "Your mother's empress is short-sighted, and I am self-proclaimed. This country...I am not a good father, nor a good emperor. This life...is the only way to go."

Tears rolled in the corners of Qin Yu's eyes, and he held his hand tightly, "Father..."
