Rong'er thought to himself: Her Majesty's body is already very weak. Although I don't want to think about it, I know that one day, she might suddenly leave us like Rulan. Thinking about the past, Her Majesty's acceptance of me and her support for my relationship with the Emperor makes my heart ache.

This Yi Kun Palace had left too many memories of Ruo Lan, and every time they thought of her, they would be heartbroken. Ling Xiu-Er would often come visit her, and the sisters would reminisce, thinking about the maids and maids that had entered the palace at the same time. Most of them were already out of their prime, and Jingzhi was dead, while Ruo Lan was dead.

Two days later, the empress dowager was severely ill. On this day, she sent someone to call Rong'er and the Imperial Concubine Hui over to Kun Ning Palace. The empress dowager coughed heavily. In the past year, the empress dowager had asked the empress dowager to pay her respects less often in order to keep herself quiet, and every time she came, a group of people came to pay their respects as well. Today, when they looked at the empress dowager again, her hair was white like snow, and her face was sallow and sallow.

Rong'er and the others greeted them, and the empress dowager gestured for the two of them to sit. The empress dowager leaned against the warm brick bed and smiled gently. "I've brought all of you over. There's nothing special. It's just that I suddenly feel that I'm missing you."

"Chenqie should come often to visit the Old Ancestor. It is unfilial of chenqie to ask the Old Ancestor to summon us." Rong'er's eyes couldn't help but turn red when he saw the empress dowager's reaction.

The empress dowager laughed softly. "Ah, Rong'er, Wai Jie, This Dowager has often been reminiscing about the past recently, thinking about the noble empress and the noble empress, but they left before This Dowager did. In this harem, the two of you are now the oldest people. True... Now it's true... "Only the two of you are left …" The Empress Dowager stopped coughing.

Rong'er felt a trace of unease in his heart when he heard the Empress Dowager's words, just like how Ruo Lan had spoken to her before her death. He couldn't help but worry for her.

"This empress dowager is old, there will be a day when she leaves the emperor, and I'm afraid it'll be very soon. As the first imperial concubine, you must take on more responsibilities, even though Yi Fei is Imperial Noble Concubine, she is still much younger than you, and her body is weak. She rarely cares about the matters of the palace, so I still need you two to take care of her more."

"Old Ancestor, don't say such a thing. You must live forever, and will always be by the side of the emperor." Rong'er hurriedly said. Listening to the empress dowager's words made her feel very uncomfortable.

"Yes, Old Ancestor, you will definitely be healthy and safe." Imperial Concubine Hui also said softly. Imperial Concubine Hui looked somewhat haggard, but she followed Rong'er's light reply.

The empress dowager shook her head and smiled bitterly. "You don't have to comfort This Dowager. This Dowager knows, there are many cases of illness these days, and every illness is rare and precious. A person can't be unsatisfied with old people, but a person can't be afraid of death even if he wants to." Rong'er felt that the empress dowager's tone was heavy as she spoke.

"Old Ancestor, are you sick again and have your concubine take care of you?" Rong'er raised his head and said, "Chenqie has been idling around everyday and has already grown up. When chenqie was taking care of Ruo Lan a few days ago, she took care of Yin You, so chenqie has time to take care of you."

The empress dowager gave Rong'er a deep look, then looked at Aunt Su, who was standing beside her. A faint smile appeared on her face, and she nodded lightly, "Alright, come over and sit every day. There's no need for you to take care of me, it's just accompanying This Dowager to chat.

After leaving the empress dowager's palace, Rong'er sighed lightly, "Seeing the empress dowager's body getting worse and worse every day, it's really sad. Although the empress dowager usually seems to be very strict with everyone, we've lived here for almost twenty years, so of course we understand her temperament. She's just an old man with a harsh mouth and an unapproachable appearance, but her heart is kind.

Imperial Concubine Hui nodded his head, her eyes a little dull, and said softly: "Die, sooner or later I will experience it, and I will not avoid it just because of my status, nor will I spare you because of your talent."

Rong'er nodded and looked at Imperial Concubine Hui. Imperial Concubine Hui had become especially haggard during this period. Was it because of May's death or because of Ruo Lan's injuries, he couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Imperial Concubine Hui, you don't look too good. I feel like you don't have much energy.

Hearing Rong'er's question, the Imperial Concubine Hui shook her head bitterly, "It's nothing, I just can't rest well."

Rong'er nodded, then suddenly remembered and said, "Oh right, the palace has been busy with Yin and Ruoran's matters. I heard that in May, the eldest son of Lord Ming Zhu, Na Lafite, passed away. Is that your cousin? Lord Ming Zhu's family must be grieving. "

Imperial Concubine Hui's expression changed slightly as she said in a low voice with melancholy: "That's right, my cousin has just learned about people and is very talented. When I was young, I often played with him and he is very knowledgeable, but unfortunately he died young, so he must have been jealous of the heavens."

Seeing Imperial Concubine Hui's sorrowful expression and speaking tone, Rong'er vaguely felt that other than grief, there was also an indescribable emotion. It was just that she had no intention to investigate Imperial Concubine Hui's heart, so she didn't think about it further, and only sighed: "Ah! This season, there are really a lot of people who have died, so don't be too sad. "

Imperial Concubine Hui nodded gently, without saying another word, the two of them got into their respective sedans.

Sitting in the palanquin, Imperial Concubine Hui lightly clutched her chest. Why did it have to be over three months ago? Was it because of that Han woman? She knew that due to her uncle's objection, that Shen Wan was never allowed to enter the Mansion, but then her cousin had no choice but to send her back to Jiangnan, could it be because of that Han woman's departure? The feelings of a young girl, which had once been her purest and purest, had already sunk deep into her heart, making it impossible for her to easily forget them, to forget them … She couldn't help but shed a string of tears, quickly wiping them away. She said that she wouldn't shed any more tears, but why was it that whenever he thought of him, her tears couldn't help falling?

In the future, even though Rong'er had been taking care of the empress dowager for two days, he still felt that her illness was getting worse and worse, and the empress dowager wouldn't allow this matter to be reported to the emperor on his northern patrol. Rong'er felt really uncomfortable, and the imperial physicians were also afraid, after all, the empress dowager was already over seventy years old, and her life had become exceptionally fragile.

Xuan Ye was currently in Qingcheng, and upon receiving the news that the empress dowager was seriously ill, he became anxious. He threw down the throne and ordered Yin Ying, the crown prince, and Ah Ge Yin to follow him back to the palace.
