Yu Tang Golden Boudoir

Chapter 316 Collapse

The fifth prince returned to the mansion, just changed his clothes, took a sip of tea, sighed, and was about to tell Li Tian about the sadness of going to the Prince's Mansion of Jian'an County, when there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside, the little girl made a noise while reporting. Behind the curtain, a servant stepped into the room and said anxiously: "The king of Xuanjin and Ningjun has an audience." The fifth prince had already jumped off the kang, half turned around and put on his clothes, and asked anxiously, "Who announced it? The prince?"

"It's the official." The little servant replied: "The official is awake and wants to see Fifth Master."

"Ah? Oh!" The fifth prince hurriedly took the cloak belt from Li Tian, ​​turned his head and said to Li Tian as he tied it and walked out: "Father woke up! I'm leaving. I don't know how Father is, nor do I know When can you come back, don't wait for me." Li Tian replied, followed behind and watched the fifth prince leave the door, and then turned back to the kang for a while, staring at the candlelight on the kang table in a daze.

Since the establishment of the crown prince, the official's illness has been reported almost every day without any concealment. These days, the official's family has been in a coma, and it seems that there is no time to wake up. Goro?Li Tian raised his voice to call Qingzhi to come in and ordered: "Someone ask, have the third and fourth masters entered the palace?" Qingzhi understood as soon as he heard it, agreed, and hastily went out to deliver the message in person.

Li Tian sat back slowly, and after a short while, Qingzhi hurried in and bent his knees and said: "Only the fifth master has been called." Li Tian frowned slightly and quickly opened his mouth and said: "Let people stare at you. The third master or the fourth master has entered the palace, no matter what time it is, report it quickly." Qing Zhi looked up at Li Tian, ​​Li Tian sighed and said: "Please come in, Mrs. Xiong, Mr. Shui, and Yue Niang. , It will be about a day or two." Qing Zhi shook slightly, responded in a low voice, and hurriedly went out to pass on the message.

Mammy Xiong and others came in, Li Tian discussed and made arrangements with everyone, and it was already late at night to rest.

The fifth prince followed the little servant and rushed to the official's bedroom, but was stopped outside. The official was talking to the prince and ordered not to disturb him.

In the bedroom, the official was lying straight on the bed, his hand on the half-worn bright yellow quilt was so dry that he could no longer see the vitality, the prince half knelt and half sat on the footsteps in front of the bed, holding the official's hand with both hands, Two lines of tears were clearly visible on his face, Zheng Daguan stood two or three steps away from the end of the bed with his hands down, staring blankly at the official's house, his back looked as if he had aged more than ten years all of a sudden.

"Xiaoyue, I have a headache, rub it for me." The official's voice was vague but extremely soft, as if a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy was talking about love. The prince was stunned, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Zheng Daguan. Zheng Daguan's eyes were cloudy with tears. Walking forward from behind the prince, he stretched out his hand and gently rubbed the temple of the official.

"Xiaoyue, is that you?" The official raised his hands upwards, trying hard to hold the hands on his head: "You came to pick me up? Xiaoyue, where have you been? I miss you, Japan Siye thought, but I just couldn’t dream of you, where did you go? I asked Mr. Jian to find you, and he said you left, where did you go? I’m here, where can you go? Xiaoyue, I think You, you are finally here, are you here to pick me up?" The prince looked at the official's house in a daze, and Zheng Daguan's tears were streaming down his face, his hands were shaking so much that he could hardly hold on.

"Xiaoyue, don't be afraid. With me in the future, I will never let anyone bully you." The official's hand didn't rise after all, but he slammed it down tremblingly, but his voice raised high: "Look who dares to look down on you! No one dares to look down on you! ... Xiaoyue, wait, I want them to kneel at your feet, Xiaoyue, they are all kneeling at your feet, do you see that?"

"Father!" The prince clenched the official's hand tightly, and cried out with sobs, but the official was immersed in the confusion between the past and the present: "Xiaoyue, my wife, I'm here, don't go, wait for me!" ...Xiaoyue, wait for me..." The official's voice was mournful and sobbing, the crown prince held his father's hand and pressed it to his forehead, tears streaming down his face, Zheng Daguan raised his hand lightly, and looked at the man who breathed out one after another. The official, who fell into a coma, saw God in a daze.

The Fifth Prince was pacing back and forth on the corridor. He had been waiting for almost an hour, and there was no movement in the room. What happened to Father?The fifth prince stopped at the entrance of the main hall, looking anxiously at the dark green brocade curtain, which remained motionless.The fifth prince stared blankly for a while, then lowered his head and put his hands behind his back, and then paced back and forth.

In the hall, the prince sat on the bed in front of his feet, staring at his father who fell into a coma again in a daze. After watching for an indeterminate amount of time, his neck was stiff and he slowly turned his head to look at Zheng Daguan and said in a low voice, "Aunt really died by herself. Is it?" Zheng Daguan shuddered shrewdly, looked straight at the prince, and then looked away after a while and said: "Empress Ci Ning is seriously ill..."

"Yeah." After a period of palpitating silence, the prince sighed, looked at the sleeping official on the bed and said in a low voice: "Before A Niang left, she told me two regrets. I was not able to bring me up personally, and the second is that I am sorry for the sister of the Ning family, she did not mention father." Zheng Daguan looked over the official family on the bed, he didn't know where to look, he heard what the prince said, but it seemed like he didn't hear anything , he seems to have returned to the day when the courtyard was full of new maids, and he saw Mingyue who was a circle thinner than everyone else and was terrified... Master liked her, loved her, and planned everything for her... ...She is like a grass that is about to wither, a little bit of moisture and freshness, but gradually wilting and withering...

"...Brother Zheng, Princess Minghua's hairpin has bright eyes. I just took a second look. I really don't want that hairpin. I don't want that hairpin at all. That's not what I should think about. I told my master Why don't you believe me? I'm a concubine and I'm a servant girl. Isn't it right to look down on me? I'm so angry...Brother Zheng, I just want to see you often. I never thought of being a princess. I am satisfied with my background, I haven’t thought much about it...Brother Zheng, I miss you, and my heart is broken...So what if the whole world is kneeling in front of me? I don’t want these..." Senior Officer Zheng His heart was full of the sourness of the old days, and his sore eye sockets were so painful that he wanted to cry aloud.

The fifth prince frowned and looked at the hourglass in the corner of the corridor. It had been two hours. The fifth prince hesitated for a while, stomped his feet and walked to the door of the hall. He was about to speak when he suddenly heard a cry from inside the hall. The fifth prince staggered and stopped. It's the prince's voice, Dad is gone?

"Fifth Lord, the mountain is collapsing." Zheng Daguan's words brought the Fifth Prince back from his bewilderment, "Let's go? Daddy? Let's go!" Although it was something that had been thought of long ago, when it happened to him, the Fifth Prince was still in a daze . "Father!" After a moment of bewilderment, the fifth prince stomped his feet and cried bitterly and rushed into the palace, kneeling behind the prince, digging the hard gold brick floor with his hands, and staggering his head, he began to wail.
