Chapter 85 Sickness

Twelfth lunar month 21.The evening before the imperial seal was sealed, the capital began to snow heavily.

This snowstorm seems to be a bit ferocious, but it is just a stick of incense.The ground that had been swept clean was covered with a thick layer of snowflakes.

Tong Jia Xili stood on the porch, wearing a bright red embroidered brocade cloak, looking at the snowflakes falling outside.

Involuntarily, he stretched out a hand, wanting to touch it.

A cold feeling hits.A small snowflake landed on Tong Jia Xili's hand, and soon disappeared without a trace.

...

"Gege, it's cold outside, why don't you go inside?"

Caiwei brought freshly warmed bird's nest soup from the small kitchen, and when she passed by the corridor, she saw Tong Jia Xili who was watching the snow.

Tong Jia Xili came back to her senses, turned her head to look at Caiwei, and then took her hand back.

"Although it snows often this year, it seems to be the first time that there is such a heavy snowfall like today." Tong Jia Xili said: "This snow is so heavy, I don't know when it will last."

When the seal is sealed tomorrow, Yinzhen doesn't have to go to the study anymore.

Until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, about a month's time, they could see each other from time to time.It's no wonder that under the gloomy and snowy sky this evening, Tong Jia Xili can still be in such a good mood.

"When the snow will stop, the servant does not know." Caiwei said: "But the servant knows, Gege, if you don't enter the house again, you will catch a cold."

Tong Jia Xili was coaxed into a smile, and said angrily: "Look at you, you've been hanging out with Taoyao for a long time, and you've learned how to talk poorly."

"A servant girl is different from Taoyao." Caiwei pouted and said, "Ge Ge must know what a servant girl is like, right?"

"Yes Yes Yes."

Tong Jia Xili had nothing to do with Caiwei in an instant, so she could only follow Caiwei back to the house.

There are earth dragons in various courtyards of the Compassionate Ning Palace.In winter, the earth dragon is so warm that you don't even need to wear thick clothes.

Tong Jia Xili took off her cloak and hung it aside, and sat lazily on the imperial concubine's couch, waiting for Caiwei to bring the bird's nest soup in front of her.

"Gege, who has been serving the Empress Dowager every day, should take a rest."

Caiwei took out a bowl of sweet bird's nest soup, turned around and walked behind Tong Jiaxili, and began to help Tong Jiaxili pinch her sore shoulders.

Even though the empress dowager has been very close to Tong Jia Xili for a year.But after all, serving people is still a bit hard.

These, even if Tong Jia Xili didn't talk about it on weekdays, the two personal maids still saw it clearly.

Tong Jia Xili only cared about eating the bird's nest soup, and answered Caiwei vaguely, but didn't say anything more.

...

After nightfall, the snow became heavier and heavier.

In the backyard of the Compassionate Ning Palace, the bamboos were covered with heavy snow.In the middle of the night, even a lot of bamboos were bent down, making crisp sounds.

These noises woke Aunt Su Mala who was sleeping in the ear room.

Madam Su Mala was a little light sleeper.After being awakened by the sound suddenly, hearing the sound of the bamboo collapsing, I also began to feel a little uneasy.

After a short period of hesitation and consideration, Aunt Su Mala simply took a coat and wrapped it up, then opened the door and went to the Empress Dowager's room next door.

When the door was pushed open, the cold wind rushed into the room, carrying a lot of snowflakes, rushing in for a cool breeze.

The little palace maid sitting on the night watch outside was dozing off at the foot of the imperial concubine's couch, nodding her head continuously, not even noticing that Madam Su Mala had come in.

Aunt Su Mala frowned slightly, understanding the difficulty of the little maid, she didn't wake her up, and went to the empress dowager's bedroom by herself.

The old man on the bed fell asleep on his side.But half of the quilt fell to the ground, and half of the whole body was exposed outside.

Aunt Su Mala stepped forward cautiously, picked up the quilt on the ground, and covered the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager opened her eyes slightly, a little confused, and said vaguely: "Su Mala?"

"Yes, the servant is here." Madam Su Mala said: "The quilt has fallen off, and the servant will cover it for you."

Aunt Su Mala pulled the quilt with one hand, but her hand was suddenly grabbed by the Empress Dowager.

"Aijia... Aijia is a little uncomfortable." The empress dowager's breathing was a little short, and the sickness in her tone was revealed at this time.

Not only that... the Empress Dowager seemed to be a little hot as she held Aunt Su Mala's hand.

Aunt Su Mala was startled immediately, and after hastily covering the Empress Dowager with a quilt, she put her hand on the Empress Dowager's forehead.

When the hot touch came, Madam Su Mala already knew that something big had happened.

"Slaves, go and call the imperial physician!"

When Aunt Su Mala left these words, the Empress Dowager's consciousness was already a little confused, and it was difficult to even respond.

But in her heart, she was extremely at ease.

This night is destined to be a sleepless night.

When Tong Jia Xili was woken up by noises from various parts of the Compassion Ning Palace in the middle of the night, Aunt Dongxue happened to come over.

"Garge, Gege?"

Aunt Dongxue's voice was unusually anxious, and when she saw that the lights were lit in the Zilan Garden, she hurriedly said: "The situation at the Empress Dowager's place is not very good!"

Tong Jia Xili was putting on her clothes, when she heard this, her heart suddenly sank!
Last year, the Empress Dowager also seemed to be sick this season.

That time the illness was so severe that the old man was hardly able to get out of bed for a month.And today, it was also such a heavy snow day, the Empress Dowager fell ill again.

Over the past year, although the spirit of the old man is still hale and hearty.But Tong Jia Xili could feel the aura of depression from old age.

The main courtyard of the Compassionate Ning Palace, the room where the Empress Dowager lives, is already brightly lit.

Aunt Su Mala sat on the spot, and the maids and eunuchs all performed their duties and walked around in an orderly manner.

The Empress Dowager's forehead was covered with a cold towel.Apparently, it was the emergency measures made by Aunt Su Mala before the arrival of the imperial physician.

"What's going on with the Empress Dowager?"

In a free time, Tong Jia Xili came to Su Mala's side and asked carefully.

Mammy Su Mala shook her head and said, "The servant woke up in the middle of the night, and came here to take a look when she felt a little uneasy. The empress dowager is very hot."

"Hmm." Tong Jia Xili clenched her palms involuntarily.

She is not very proficient in medical theory, so she can only wait for the arrival of the imperial physician at this time.

...

The imperial physician came with Lord Kangxi.

Followed by the imperial concubine and Yinzhen who just got up.

The imperial concubine's eyes were still hazy and sleepy.But what can't be concealed is the worry from the bottom of my heart.

"Doctor Liang."

Lord Kangxi brought Imperial Physician Liang into the room, and said in a very heavy tone, almost gritting his teeth: "The Empress Dowager, I will leave it to you."

Imperial Physician Liang also had a dignified expression, and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best."

Lord Kangxi nodded and said nothing. After seeing Imperial Physician Liang enter, he called Aunt Su Mala over to inquire about the situation in detail.

Walking out of the somewhat noisy main hall, Tong Jia Xili shuddered involuntarily from the icy breath in the corridor.

The snow and ice made her drowsiness dissipate all of a sudden.

"Will great-grandmother get better?"

Yinzhen also came out at some point, and stood beside Tong Jia Xili.

"Auspicious people have their own appearance." Tong Jia Xi Li said: "A person as good as the Empress Dowager will definitely get better."

"Yes."

Yinzhen nodded vigorously, his eyes were a little brighter and firmer.

 The empress dowager's recognition of Xili is also a cornerstone for ensuring Xili's status in the future.
