little emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 186 Concubine Gong
The side door of Kunning Palace was opened a little, and a cool figure stood solemnly, raising his head to look at it from time to time, as if he was waiting for someone.

There was a sound of footsteps at the end of Qingshidiao Road, Zhu Changluo rushed over in a hurry, and Wang An followed behind panting, raising his sleeves from time to time to wipe the sweat dripping down his face.

When he got close, Zhu Changluo was surprised: "Miss Su, why are you here?"

Su Yingxue, who hadn't seen her for a long time, didn't have the heart to say these things, and calmly bowed: "I have seen His Royal Highness, please go and see your empress first."

Wang An was secretly a little annoyed. Although Miss Su was born well, she couldn't be so arrogant if she was born well... I still have to talk about the truth, right?You must know that the prince is a god in Wang An's heart, and no blasphemy can be tolerated.Suddenly seeing Zhu Changluo obediently following her into the palace, the aggrieved Wang An suddenly remembered something, and immediately exclaimed: "Your Highness...Your Highness, you have to go back to the Queen Mother before you can enter here."

Seeing Zhu Changluo walking in without turning his head, Wang An found sadly that his words seemed to be ignored by His Royal Highness, and he let out a sigh, holding a broken glass heart and had to follow. Suddenly, he was pleasantly surprised to find that Zhu Changluo was running towards him in a hurry...

Wang An grinned happily: "Your Highness, wait here a moment, this servant will go to the Compassionate Ning Palace to reply."

"No need, you go to Baohua Hall and find Doctor Song!"

"Ah, Your Highness, isn't Doctor Song in retreat?"

"Don't care about these, go and invite him!"

In Wang An's impression, the crown prince has always been witty and calm. No matter how big or small, he has never been so panic-stricken as today. Even his eyes, which are as clear as cold water, seem to be shrouded in a light mist. Wang An suddenly panicked. Without saying a word, he turned around and ran away.

Turned around again and entered the Kunning Palace. There was no sound along the way, and the scenery in the palace was still the same, but it was very strange. It was clearly full of prosperity in spring, but it turned into an inexplicable bleak autumn. desolate.

Since February [-], the Kunning Palace has been strictly sealed by Empress Dowager Li, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. Even Zhu Changluo, who is a prince, wants to come and wake up in the morning and evening.Because something happened to Emperor Wanli in Kunning Palace, the Empress Dowager confines the Empress to confine her to pray for blessings. Others don’t know the inside story, but Zhu Changluo knows how close the Empress Dowager and Empress are. It's just a show, used to block the mouths of the harem.

He stretched out his hand and gently opened the palace door, entered the bedroom, and saw the queen on the couch of the beauties opposite, dressed in casual clothes, with a few hairpin rings on her head, she didn't know if she was asleep or awake, so she didn't dare to make a sound for a while, and stood there stunned. There, motionless.

Hearing the sound, the people on the couch slowly sat up, and when they saw Queen Wang's appearance, Zhu Changluo's eyes widened in surprise, and he exclaimed, "Mother queen?"

Counting from February [-] to now, it has only been more than [-] days, but the king and empress in front of him made Zhu Changluo feel spontaneously, is this a day that can be regarded as a year? …Hair bun is slightly parted, her face is gloomy, and her eyes are like dry wells. The only thing that hasn't changed is that although her expression is haggard and old, her demeanor is still noble and elegant.

"Luo Er, you are finally here."

Suddenly an inexplicable resentment surged up, and he blurted out a sentence: "Don't worry, queen mother, I will go to the queen mother later and ask her to release you from imprisonment."

Queen Wang smiled faintly, with a hint of bitterness in her calm tone: "Silly boy, don't do such useless things! The Queen Mother has protected me for the rest of my life. Yes, but when it came time, I still rebelled against her... But I don't regret it at all."

Zhu Changluo didn't know at all that the empress dowager's resentment towards the queen was not because of the emperor, but because she rejected the queen mother's proposal to let her adopt the fifth son of the emperor, but he could still hear the tone of the words. When he was suspicious, the queen looked at him with satisfaction With a glance, he changed the topic and said: "Don't think too much! You just need to be obedient, be a good prince now, and be a good emperor in the future, and the queen mother will be at ease."

Zhu Changluo suppressed his heart and said anxiously: "Don't say such nonsensical words, what's wrong with the queen mother, why didn't you send the imperial doctor?"

Empress Wang was taken aback when she heard the words, but she didn't know where the words came from. It turned out that Xiao Fuzi spread the word in a panic, saying that the empress of Kunning Palace was not well. Zhu Changluo was taken aback, and then rushed over in a hurry.Empress Wang is smart and transparent, and she can understand it when she thinks about it slightly, and she is even more relieved about Zhu Changluo's sincere care.

"Stupid child, the queen mother is fine. I called you here because of your concubine mother. Go and see her quickly."

Zhu Changluo's brain thumped: "What's wrong with the concubine mother?"

When Concubine Gong was mentioned, anxiety flashed across the eyes of the Queen: "Your mother and concubine are not doing well these few days. Before, she just fell asleep drowsily. Later, your father took her to the Qianqing Palace and asked all the imperial physicians to treat her. There is no result. Years ago, I begged the emperor to take her back to Kunning Palace to take care of her, but unexpectedly, I feel a little uneasy these few days... I was afraid that something might be wrong, so I sent Yingxue to find you .”

"Kun Ning Palace is different today, and you are not the cowardly eldest son of the emperor who needed the protection of others. After meeting your mother and concubine, you can try to go to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to ask the Queen Mother to move your mother and concubine to Rest in the Ciqing Palace." At this point, Empress Wang obviously hesitated, "...If the Empress Dowager refuses, you must not force it. If you offend her, the consequences will be unpredictable."

Zhu Changluo, who was concerned but confused, felt strange. There was obviously something in what Queen Wang said, but he didn't have the time to think deeply. He patted Queen Wang's hand, half to blame and half to comfort: "Relax, mother, don't think about it. I will go to see the concubine mother first, and then I will talk to you."

After receiving the nod from the Queen, Zhu Changluo turned around and came to the side hall. Zhu Changluo, who was very familiar with Kunning Palace, didn't need guidance.The Kunning Palace has a front and two sides, one bright and two dark, turned around a few times along the corridor and came to the side hall on the right. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Su Yingxue coming out holding a bowl of medicine, followed by several palace ladies , Seeing Zhu Changluo coming in, he hurriedly saluted: "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Zhu Changluo hadn't seen Su Yingxue since the concubine selection. Although he wondered why Su Yingxue appeared in Kunning Palace at this time, he didn't bother to dwell on this matter, so he waved his hands quickly: "Excuse me, how is my concubine mother?"

"Concubine Gong is not very stable, since yesterday she has not been able to take any medicine or food, you have to go and see it first..." Before Su Yingxue could finish speaking, Zhu Changluo had already gone away like a gust of wind.

Staring at Zhu Changluo's back in astonishment, Su Yingxue didn't know what it was like, suddenly remembered something, turned her head and told a little maid next to her: "Xiaomei, go to the door and watch, if you see someone coming, just lead him here, quietly Don't startle people."

Concubine Gong's face turned pale on the long couch, Zhu Changluo gently held her hand, the tentacles were like a piece of ice, her eyes were already hot under the agitation of her mood.Since she woke up and was reborn in the 14th year of Wanli, the concubine Gong’s love and care for herself is vivid in her mind. She completely forgot where she is, let alone what year it is. When the palace depends on each other.

When she came in with a bowl of porridge, what she saw was the scene of Zhu Changluo holding Concubine Gong's hand and weeping silently. Su Yingxue felt as if something hit a certain place in her heart, a feeling of soreness and swelling. The weirdness that can only be kept in her heart but not spoken out made her feel a little flustered, her heart beat a little anxiously, her foot stopped outside the threshold and she didn't step in.

Wang An's trip to Baohua Hall was smooth sailing and unexpectedly smooth, because Song Yizhi happened to leave the retreat after more than ten days of retreat!

Wang An was overjoyed, and after saying a few words, he explained Zhu Changluo's intentions, and pulled Song Yizhi to Kunning Palace.

Song Yizhi, who was pulled into the Kunning Palace as if his feet were not touching the ground, expressed his anger. Did he treat a miracle doctor like this... Song Yizhi, who has been in retreat for more than ten days, has fluffy hair and an unshaven beard. Avoiding ten miles away, Song Yizhi was very angry and even aggrieved, why can't he let himself take a bath before coming back? The answer is naturally yes, no!

After seeing Concubine Wang Gong lying on the bed, Song Yizhi's ups and downs, which had been full of anger, suddenly calmed down. Not only was he peaceful, but he looked happy instead.

Stretching out his hand, Zhu Changluo, whose eyes were as red as rabbits, stretched out a finger to feel the pulse on Concubine Gong's wrist, then stretched out his hand to touch Concubine Gong's eyelids, sighed and remained silent for a while: "How many days has it been like this? "

Su Yingxue, who had been waiting by her side for a long time, took a step forward: "Your Majesty has not taken the medicine for three days."

"Just stop the medicine." Song Yizhi frowned, then suddenly turned to Zhu Changluo and said, "Brother Zhu, I have a few words to tell you."

Zhu Changluo stared at him blankly, as if he understood Song Yizhi's meaning, his voice trembled a little: "You... all go out, no one is allowed to come in and disturb him without my order."

The crown prince issued an order, and the maids around quickly agreed and retreated. Wang An glanced at Zhu Changluo worriedly, "Prince, the little one is guarding outside the door. If you have something to say, just ask."

Su Yingxue didn't say a word, she turned around and disappeared like a clear shadow under the moon.

In the blink of an eye, only Zhu Changluo, Song Yizhi and Concubine Gong were left in the hall, and the atmosphere was quiet and depressing.After meeting Song Yizhi's gaze, he stopped moving. His black and white pupils were astonishingly clear, but it was hard to conceal the pleading hidden deep in his eyes.

Song Yizhi sighed, pointed at Concubine Gong and said, "She has the same poison as you, you know?"

Zhu Changluo nodded without saying a word.Song Yizhi went on to say: "Although the poison in her is far lighter than yours, but she is mentally exhausted and her body is weak and cold. She was lucky to survive these years, but the poison has already permeated the skin and entangled the meridians."

Zhu Changluo was stunned for a moment, then suddenly took out the porcelain bottle from his bosom, opened the lid tremblingly, and stretched out his hand to find three Heavenly King Protecting Heart Pills, which he was about to stuff into Concubine Gong's mouth. Counting from year to year, he had taken three pills, and later gave Wanli another pill to save his life. Song Yizhi took one pill for research, but there were only five pills in his hand, so he poured out three pills at once. If Ye He was here , I'm afraid he jumped up a long time ago, because at this moment Zhu Changluo is already desperately crazy.

"Stop! If you take that medicine with her, I can guarantee that this person will become a dead person immediately!"

Zhu Changluo was stunned as if he had been struck by lightning, his eyes became dark and dull and cold: "Brother Song, what are you talking about?"

"Take the medicine first, and I will explain it to you later." Song Yizhi sighed: "If you believe me, there are two ways for you to choose. First, I will prescribe a prescription now, and follow this Even if this woman can live for ten days and a half months, she is still going to die. Second, she is still prescribed a medicine, which may wake her up after taking it, but there is one thing, after waking up, she will prepare for her funeral Bar."

What he said was short and direct, without any cover-up or decoration, only the painful pain and sincere sincerity.

"Is there really no other way, Brother Song?" I suddenly felt so tired that even my voice was almost indistinct.

"Sorry." Song Yizhi looked calm, "I really hope there is a third way, but unfortunately there is not."

"I believe in you!" When the despair turned into substance and could almost be touched with the hand, these three bitter words finally broke the terrifying silence in the side hall, Zhu Changluo finally raised his lowered head, his face became pale Bai, with focused and stubborn eyes, trembled every word: "I'll choose the second one!"

Looking at Zhu Changluo who finally made a decision, Song Yizhi moved his mouth a few times, trying to say something, but he didn't say anything...
