Doctor Xing took the empress dowager's pulse and gave her acupuncture.
After a while, the Queen Mother's complexion looked slightly better.
She slowly opened her eyes and looked at the emperor with lifeless eyes: "Late Emperor, you have come to pick me up? I am so sorry to bother you to come in person."
The weak words frightened the emperor.
He quickly stepped forward and said, "Mother, there is no such thing as a late emperor. It is you, my son."
"What kind of minister are you?"
Tai frowned, staring at the emperor in confusion.
After thinking carefully for a moment, I couldn't come up with any conclusion, and my head became dizzy again.
So she couldn't help but raise her hand to rub her temple, muttering softly: "Why can't I remember it all of a sudden?"
"Empress Dowager..."
Wan Shuang was extremely worried, but she was at a loss as to what to do. She could only look at Doctor Xing: "Doctor Xing, what happened to the Queen Mother?"
Doctor Xing said, "Perhaps it's because of the fall that caused some memory confusion. Judging from the pulse, it's not serious."
Upon hearing this, the emperor became very depressed.
The Queen Mother was very excited: "Who are you scolding for falling on the head? You are the one who fell on the head!"
As she spoke, she struggled to get up.
The emperor quickly pressed her hand and said, "Mother, no one is scolding you! You, you really don't remember me? I am Yuan'er?"
"Yuan? Yuan'er?"
The Queen Mother repeated the name quietly, and then laughed as if suddenly realizing something. "Oh, Yuan'er! I'm fine, don't worry. Just be calm and live a good life with Jiayan. It hasn't been easy for you to get to where you are today."
The emperor stared at the empress dowager in a daze, speechless for a moment.
My nose felt sore and my eyes reddened, but I managed not to cry.
The Queen Mother held the Emperor's hand and said earnestly, "Qing Yuan, remember to tell your brother that I no longer hate the Imperial Concubine. When the Imperial Concubine gives birth to a child, I will give her the Phoenix Seal. As long as there is peace and harmony in the imperial court and harem, I will be satisfied."
[Is the Queen Mother unable to distinguish between people? ]
[This is so scary, could it be a last gasp of energy...]
The more Su Qiqi thought about it, the more panicked she became.
Suddenly, the Queen Mother grabbed Su Qiqi's arm and said, "Shuwen, didn't I send you two to be raised in Concubine Hu's palace? Why are you back?"
Su Qiqi was startled: [What, what the hell? What Shuwen? I'm Su Qiqi!]
Wan Shuang reminded gently, "Queen Dowager, this is not the eldest princess. This is the Imperial Concubine Princess Chaoyang."
The Queen Mother acted as if she hadn't heard anything. She continued to pull Su Qiqi and sternly said, "Xian Fei, you have greatly disappointed me! Although you are innocent, I still feel uncomfortable. Go back to Concubine Hu and don't hang around in front of me anymore!"
After saying that, she weakly pushed Su Qiqi away.
"Be good, the Queen Mother didn't mean it."
The emperor held Su Qiqi in his arms and comforted her softly.
Su Qiqi pouted: [I'm not angry, but it suddenly occurred to me that the Queen Mother's current state shouldn't just be due to a fall.]
[Previously, the virtuous concubine added Huitoucao to the soup she made for the empress dowager. It seems that Huitoucao can cause memory loss and slow reaction times.]
[Unfortunately, the story of returning to love is a fabrication made up by the author. I don’t understand it at all, let alone how to make the medicine to detoxify it…]
"I've long felt myself getting a bit confused, and I don't know how many more days I can stay lucid. As we age, we all have to go through this. Well, well, life is life, death is death, and I'm content."
The Queen Mother seemed to be talking to herself.
She pulled the quilt over, turned over, and faced away from everyone.
Zhao Xu walked in and reported quietly, "Your Majesty, the eldest princess has picked some plum blossoms and is waiting outside."
Upon hearing this, the emperor let out a sigh of relief and said, "Take good care of the Empress Dowager. What happened today must not be made public."
After saying this, he turned around and left, holding Su Qiqi.
In the front hall, Shen Mingyue and Lu Qingyuan were arranging the plum blossoms that were in full bloom.
Shen Jiayan found a handkerchief from somewhere and wiped the snow off Lu Qingyuan's clothes bit by bit.
Lu Hongxuan and Mo Yunchi sat by the fire, their little hands were red.
"Brother, we picked a lot of plum blossoms. Here, this one is for mother."
Seeing the emperor coming out holding Su Qiqi, Lu Qingyuan excitedly showed off the plum blossoms she had just picked.
"The Queen Mother has fallen asleep. I'll just put the plum blossoms I left for her in a random vase for now. I'll take care of them when she wakes up."
Lu Qingyuan seemed to sense something was wrong and asked tentatively, "Mother...are you feeling unwell?"
The emperor feigned a relaxed attitude and said with a smile, "My mother dragged me to play chess for a long time last night. I'm dizzy from lack of sleep. I just took some medicine and fell asleep again."
Upon hearing this, Lu Qingyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Royal brother, you are such a fool! It's fine if you don't try to comfort your mother when she stays up late, but why do you even stay up with her?"
The emperor said, "I'm feeling quite bored now that you're all away from the palace. Playing chess might help me pass the time."
Lu Qingyuan said, "Oh, isn't it just a few days? Come on, sister-in-law will give it back to you!"
Lu Hongxuan interrupted and looked at the emperor obediently: "Father, when you can't sleep, do you think about your mother or your son?"
The emperor rolled his eyes at him and said, "Why are you asking such a question when you already know the answer?"
After saying this, the emperor turned his gaze towards Shen Mingyue. His expression changed from speechless and disgusted to a deep and affectionate smile.
Lu Hongxuan sighed with a tone that showed he had seen through life, "Alas! My aunt has an uncle, and my father has the queen mother. Master, you are all I have!"
As he spoke, he grabbed Mo Yunchi's arm tightly.
Mo Yunchi frowned and pushed him away: "Be serious."
