Chapter 558
That's right, the empress dowager was ill, and it was so serious that even the emperor had to quit court to serve the sick. The other eldest princesses and princes even stayed in the palace with their attendants, and they dared not leave easily.They were afraid that their mother would close their eyes if they walked away.

Not being able to see the last side of my mother is definitely the greatest sorrow.

It’s not that the princesses and princes cursed their mother, it’s that the empress dowager’s illness is so severe that even the doctors in the imperial hospital don’t dare to prescribe the medicine anymore, and seeing his trembling and regretful expression, why don’t you complain? understandable.

The Empress Dowager is critically ill, and her biological children are worried, distressed and sad, especially Princess Changle, since she got the news from the palace, she rushed into the palace immediately, and when she saw her mother unconscious , Her eyes went dark, and she almost fainted on the spot.

For Princess Changle, this year is definitely her darkest year. The emperor who loved her most at the beginning of the year passed away. Then, her only son-in-law was put in danger because of the contest between the new emperor and the king of Wei. When the eldest princess regained her strength, her most beloved mother became seriously ill again...

After repeated blows, after only staying in the palace for a day and a night, the eldest princess has become much haggard. She is over 40 years old this year, and she is well maintained on weekdays. With her daughter's "filial piety" from time to time, the eldest princess looks at best Look like you're in your 30s.

But now, staying in front of her mother's bed without sleep, surrounded by emotions such as worry, doubt, and anger, made her seem ten years older overnight.

A few silver threads grew from the sideburns, which shocked the queen who came to change shifts.

"Sister, you, you..."

The queen held the eldest princess's hand, and said very distressed: "You are also a person of age, you can't go on like this... When A Niang wakes up, seeing how you describe it, I don't know why I feel distressed." Woolen cloth."

As she said that, the queen was half supporting and half pulling the eldest princess to get up, "Go and rest on the couch in the side hall, I'm here, Aniang!"

However, the eldest princess pushed the queen's hand away forcefully, staring at the queen with a pair of sharp eyes, and said coldly: "What happened? Why did Auntie suddenly fall ill?"

"..." It was the first time for the queen to see such a frightening appearance of the eldest princess.

She has known the eldest princess for 30 years. To be honest, in her impression, the eldest princess of Changle has always been an elegant, virtuous, gentle and somewhat frail woman. Even if she is unhappy, she just purses her lips and does not speak.Never been so sharp.

At this moment, the Eldest Princess is absolutely full of aura, exuding a chilly aura all over her body, her dark eyes are like hungry beasts, looking at her appearance, the Empress has no doubts, if she said something wrong If so, the eldest princess would definitely dare to slap her!
Even though the empress is already the hostess of this country, except for the empress dowager on the sick bed, she is the most honorable woman in the entire Tang Empire.But when she faced Princess Changle, she didn't dare to think so.

The eldest princess has a special status. When the first emperor died, he was worried that his sons and daughters would be wronged. Before he died, he deliberately held the present hand and told him over and over again to treat his siblings generously and not to humiliate his sisters and brothers.

Today's sages, in order to appease the heart of the late emperor, and to appease the royal family, swore in front of the late emperor that he would treat his brothers kindly.

After the death of the first emperor, when the sage promoted the ranks of his relatives, he also specially promoted the ranks of several sisters. Among them, the eldest princess of Changle was the sage's direct eldest sister, and was named the first-rank princess.

What is this concept?As long as it is not a formal court meeting, Princess Changle doesn't have to salute when she meets the emperor, let alone a queen!
Its dignity is self-evident.

Therefore, even if the Su family has become the empress, and the empress dowager is about to die, she dare not hold her back in front of the eldest princess.No matter what the queen's purpose was, she was very close and respectful to the eldest princess, which made the emperor and the clan very satisfied.

As for the queen, she acted like she respected the eldest princess, and it wasn't all acting. It was really a habit she had developed over the years, and it was difficult for her to put on airs as a queen in front of the eldest princess.

Seeing the eldest princess's appearance now, the queen's heart was pounding. After a long time, she suppressed the anxiety in her heart and forced a smile: "Ah, sister, there is nothing wrong. Auntie has always been in good health. Didn't you go to the palace to chat with A Niang the day before yesterday... Everything is fine, but A Niang suddenly fell ill, the saint and I also-"

The empress said this with a guilty conscience. Although she didn't know the real reason why the empress dowager fell ill, she had heard about the inducement.

However, it is about her husband, and the matter has not been clarified yet, so she dare not speak casually.

Seeing Su's stammering appearance, the eldest princess knew that there was nothing she could ask, so she had to suppress the doubts in her heart and said nothing more.

Although there is a saying that "sickness comes like a mountain", but people who are really sick will have omens before they fall ill.

But the fact is just as the queen said, the empress dowager's health has always been very good, she doesn't even have a cough on weekdays, and the people around her serve her wholeheartedly, so the empress dowager's illness is really unexpected.

If she didn't believe in her mother's ability, the eldest princess would have suspected someone secretly poisoning or the harem's secret affairs.

Sitting in front of the couch in a muffled voice, the eldest princess quietly guarded the empress dowager, but her brain was spinning rapidly. What happened to make the always strong mother suddenly fall ill? !

In fact, not only Changle Princess Changle was puzzled, but the dignitaries in Beijing who heard the news were also puzzled: With their rank, they can often see the Empress Dowager. According to daily observations, the Empress Dowager is not like a weak and sick person. A well-behaved old man, how can he say that he is critically ill.

Speaking of which, I have to praise the good popularity of the Empress Dowager. Since the news of her critical illness came out, almost the vast majority of people who heard the news felt sad and regretful, and there were countless people who hoped that she would recover soon.

Xiao Nan, as the empress dowager's granddaughter, is the one who most wishes the old man to recover from illness as soon as possible.For this reason, she also tried her best to mix Yulu into the empress dowager's soup.

However, Yulu, who has always been invincible, did not play a magic role this time, and the empress dowager was still lethargic.

Sitting on the low couch in the side hall, Xiao Nan watched over the exhausted eldest princess, and said very worriedly: "Aniang, Grandmother, this disease—" It's so strange that even Yulu doesn't work ?
The eldest princess was extremely haggard, with thick dark circles under her eyes. She raised her eyes and looked around, and saw that they were all the empress dowager's cronies, so she lowered her voice and said, "Aniang, this disease is a heart disease!"

Xiao Nan raised his eyebrows, worried?Did something big happen again?

The eldest princess had a weird expression on her face, and she said in a hoarse voice: "There was news from the west that Shiro accidentally fell off the horse while riding, not only broke his leg, but also hit his head. Then, for some reason, the treatment was delayed Time, after careful care by the accompanying imperial physician, his life was safe, but his legs became disabled."

Xiao Nan's eyes widened, King Wei became crippled? !
This, this is too weird, right?

In history, it was Li Chengqian who broke his leg. It was precisely because of the disability in his leg that Xiao Li's shoes felt extremely insecure. In addition, His Majesty Li Er favored King Wei, and he became more and more uneasy, so he did not hesitate to take risks. Finally was scrapped.

Now, it is King Wei who has a broken leg and becomes disabled. Is this the reincarnation of fate, or is God playing with people?
Then, Xiao Nan's heart relaxed, King Wei became a lame man, and he was doomed to miss the throne. Even if he still wanted to compete with the saint in his heart, the courtiers who followed him would shrink back.

After all, in ancient times, people who paid attention to appearance, and ugly people couldn't even be officials, let alone disabled.This is true for selecting officials, and it is even more so for being an emperor.

In this way, the court will be able to settle down, and Cui Youbo can return to the capital sooner.

Wait, Uncle Cui——

Xiao Nan's eyes widened suddenly, and he asked eagerly, "The fourth uncle is injured, so, what about my husband?"

This matter should have nothing to do with Cui Youbo.

In other words, Cui Youbo won't be involved in this matter, right?

Seeing her daughter's anxious look, the eldest princess twitched her mouth slightly, "The Cui family boy was still on his way to Shanzhou at that time."

"……call"

Xiao Nan let out a long breath of relief, and his heart was instantly relieved.

It's none of his business, Xiao Nan is also in the mood to gossip.

She leaned close to the eldest princess's ear and asked in a low voice, "Aniang, why did fourth uncle fall off the horse?"

Although King Wei is a fat man, he can still ride a horse, and he has so many followers and prince guards around him, even if he accidentally falls off the horse, at least a dozen people will jump on him before he hits the ground. He makes meat pads.

The eldest princess lowered her head so that no one could see the movement of her lips, and said in a voice as thin as a gnat: "I heard that the situation in Yaochi is very bad. He Lu is ready to move, and the war is about to break out. Shiro, Shiro doesn't want to stay there ..."

Xiao Nan understood that the fall of the horse incident was directed by King Wei himself, but there seemed to be some problems in the middle, he is a typical stealer who can't make money, although he can return to Beijing as he wished, but it also completely cut off his honor. Opportunity to become a treasure!
Then, the eldest princess seemed to think of something again, and comforted her daughter, saying: "You don't need to worry about your son-in-law. When your grandmother's health improves, I will tell the saint and ask him to transfer your son-in-law back. "

The king of Wei is going back to Beijing, so it's useless to keep Cui Youbo in Shanzhou, it's better to bring him back.

Xiao Nan was grateful, took the eldest princess's hand, and murmured: "Thank you, mother, you still love me the most!"

The eldest princess reached out and touched Xiao Nan's cheek, and said in a low voice: "Silly boy, you're talking stupid again!"

Although she didn't want to admit it, the eldest princess knew very well that the empress dowager's illness might not recover.

Still the same sentence, heart disease is difficult to cure, as a daughter, the eldest princess is very aware of the biggest concern in the empress dowager's heart, now that the king of Wei is disabled, he can no longer fight against the new king, and because of his leg injury, the new king will not It will make Wei Wang too miserable. In this way, both sons will be saved, and the court will be able to settle down.

This should be regarded as the most happy ending. There is no worry in my heart, and the empress dowager can't let go of the late emperor. The root cause of the disease caused by premature childbirth in the early years, as well as her congenital frailty, all kinds of hidden dangers are gushing out like a flood that broke through the dam. , it broke the empress dowager's body all at once...
