The Eighth Prince walked to the gate of the Cining Palace but didn't want to go in. But soon, a maid came over and called him, "Eighth Master, the Empress Dowager is calling you!"
A ferocious look flashed across the eighth prince's face.
During these short ten days, he was really on the verge of collapse.
The Queen Mother could hardly speak clearly now and could only utter short sentences, but when she spoke to them, she was full of energy.
Concubine Shu had been kneeling all the way there, and was easily blamed, so she would kneel for an hour or two at a time.
And he...had to read to the Queen Mother and feed her...
Studying was something he was good at, but he had to study for two hours and his voice became hoarse before he had to continue!
Especially since the Empress Dowager suffered from incontinence all the time, the pungent smell and the wet stuff on the changed bedding... The first time he saw it, he couldn't help but vomit all over the floor.
And when it was time to feed, the Queen Mother would insist on letting him feed her.
The Queen Mother had difficulty chewing and could only eat liquid food. It took a long time to feed her each mouthful... Soup and vegetable juice kept flowing down, and in her mouth that couldn't be closed, one could see her rotten teeth and the mushy food she chewed...
...
...
Moreover, if he wiped a little slowly, the empress dowager would get angry and slap the armrests desperately, and even stand up to speak, with half-broken rice grains mixed with saliva spraying out of her mouth and spraying all over his face.
He had never suffered such a thing since he was a child! !
I feel sick just thinking about it!
The nanny called him again, and the Eighth Prince had no choice but to go in. It was already dinner time, and the Queen Mother had already served the porridge and soup. When she saw him come in, she stared at him coldly for a while, pointed at him and said, "Ba Lang! Hey!"
The nanny said, "Yes!" She turned around and complimented, "The Queen Mother, she refuses to eat unless she sees the Eighth Master coming!"
The Eighth Prince's eyes turned red with hatred, and he stepped forward with gritted teeth.
He slowly picked up the bowl, lowered his eyes, blew on the porridge in the bowl casually, and fed it into the empress dowager's mouth.
The Queen Mother shuddered violently.
The Eighth Prince suddenly realized that it might be too hot. When he tried to pull back, the Queen Mother had already pursed her lips and wanted to spit at him angrily, but she couldn't control herself at all. The whole mouthful of rice overflowed from her mouth, and the green, yellow and white rice hung on her chin and on her front...
The eighth prince suddenly retched.
The Queen Mother was even more angry and pointed at him: "Asshole! You want to burn me! Burn me to death!"
The nanny rushed forward to help clean up, and then said, "Eighth Master, please be steady." She was also helpless, and whispered, "The Queen Mother will only eat what you feed her..."
The implication is, stop struggling! She did it on purpose, there is no point struggling!
The eighth prince could hardly conceal the horror on his face.
It’s still the Queen’s words.
Too anxious. Really too anxious.
The fourth prince was also very stable, and he only started working for Emperor Mingyan when he was a teenager. The fifth prince was so scheming, and he had never been in charge of anything before he was fifteen.
As for Qiba, he grew up when Emperor Mingyan's throne was stable. He had grown up smoothly. The crown prince was kind and his brothers were not troublesome either. He had never experienced any setbacks.
He was only nine years old, but he was urged to come to the fore and was praised all the way. The Seventh Prince even had a quarrel with Yan Shiyue in the imperial study, and the Eighth Prince... had always been hiding behind the Seventh Prince, using him as a gun, thinking that he was the reincarnation of the genius Kong Ming. But now, he has ended up in this situation. Not only has he shot himself in the foot, but Yan Shiyue has also ruthlessly pointed out the truth to him.
It turned out that his self-proclaimed brilliant plan was just a clown in the eyes of everyone...
At this point he hadn't lost his temper yet, which was considered very calm.
The eighth prince panted and fed the queen mother another spoonful.
The empress dowager swallowed it slowly, and then slowly fed him two more spoonfuls. Without any warning, the empress dowager wrapped her lips around him and moved them twice, then she puffed and spit on his face.
The Eighth Prince was so angry that he was shaking all over.
The Queen Mother was unwilling to accept the fact that she didn't spit on him just now, so she would definitely spit on him a few more times without having to find an excuse.
The Eighth Prince was so angry that he suddenly picked up the silver spoon and stabbed it into the Queen Mother's throat.
The Queen Mother choked violently, her eyes rolled back, and she made a grunting sound.
The nanny rushed over, and someone behind him grabbed his shoulder and pulled him hard, shouting angrily: "Ba Lang!"
When the Eighth Prince heard the voice of Emperor Ming Yan, his mind cleared instantly. He was so frightened that he broke out in a sweat. He fell to the ground and screamed, "Father! I didn't mean to do that! I didn't mean to do that!"
The Queen Mother coughed violently a few times, choked on bloody rice grains from her nose, and then she fainted.
There was already an imperial physician stationed in the Cining Palace, and he was quickly summoned.
The Eighth Prince saw this and was really scared.
He just wanted to vent his anger!
How dare he take the Queen Mother's life!
He really prayed with all his heart to all the gods and Buddhas, hoping that nothing would happen to the Queen Mother!
The imperial physician gave the empress dowager acupuncture and finally saved her life. However, her face, which had just recovered, became crooked again, and she was unable to speak again.
Emperor Ming Yan knew, without anyone telling him, that the Empress Dowager might not live long this time.
Emperor Mingyan waited until the Queen Mother fell asleep, then he got up and saw the Eighth Prince was still kneeling outside. At this time, Emperor Mingyan had no intention of pursuing the matter, and just said, "Find a place to lock him up."
Gu Jiuxing responded quickly and asked someone to drag him away.
Yan Shiyue and the Queen also received the news and were waiting outside. When they saw Emperor Ming Yan coming out, they went to greet him and supported him on each side.
Emperor Mingyan put his hand on Yan Shiyue's shoulder: "Yuer, don't blame the Queen Mother... She is old and confused."
"Okay." Yan Shiyue said, "I don't blame her. Aye, life and death are determined by fate, don't be sad."
Emperor Ming Yan sighed, let go of her hand, and patted her shoulder gently: "I'm fine, go home."
Yan Shiyue nodded, helped him walk a few more steps, then slowly let go of his hand and watched the emperor and empress leave.
Emperor Ming Yan was sometimes very sentimental. After entering Kunning Palace and sending people away, he hugged the empress and cried.
The queen hugged him, held his hand, and comforted him silently.
When it really came to this, seeing him so sad and upset, I also felt that... it wouldn't be a bad thing for the old lady to live a few more days.
But no one can foresee what is ahead, and no one knew that things would come to this point. The person who probably expected it the most was the Queen Mother!
When Yan Shiyue returned to the palace, he asked someone to inform Prince Ke and asked him to enter the palace to guard the empress dowager.
If she had been well taken care of, she could have lived for at least another year or two, but now... she had a premonition that the Queen Mother might not be able to survive for a few more days, so she secretly sent someone to inform the Fourth and Fifth Princes.
The family waited anxiously until midnight. When there was a knock on the door, they were startled. It turned out to be someone from the palace summoning Su Ji.
This is probably a last-ditch effort.
Yan Shiyue and Huo Qijing followed him.
