Chapter 284 The Queen is Seriously Ill
There were tears in the queen's eyes.
"My two sons are like me, they are what you would call love-brained. My own life has been a mess, and Yan Xiu hasn't lived a happy life either.
But Chengxiu was lucky, he met you.
Sister Wan, my son is not smart, but he has always been sincere to you since he was a child. You know it in your heart, right?
Even for this reason, I beg you to treat him better in the future."
Jiang Wan nodded vigorously.
"Don't worry, mother. As long as he doesn't let me down in this life, I will definitely not let him down!"
"Okay, I hope you can live a good life."
He curled the corners of his mouth in satisfaction, and his eyelids drooped tiredly little by little.
"After I die, you will hurry back to your fiefdom. The Crown Prince has sworn before me and your father that he will never touch the Prince Qi's Palace. Sister Wan, mother has entrusted Chengxiu to you..."
The sound became lower and lower until it disappeared. Jiang Wan quickly reached out to feel the Queen's breath. Although it was weak, it was still there. She dared to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Your son obeys. Mother, I'll help you lie down and have a good rest. If you have anything to say, please wait until you wake up."
He stood up and wanted to reach out to help the unconscious queen to sleep, but Qingliu and Qingyang, who were standing by, hurried over.
"Princess, please don't do anything. Just let the servants do it."
The two aunts in charge skillfully helped their master to sleep, and then respectfully led the Princess of Qi to the outer room.
"Princess, please sit down and rest. May I bring you a pot of rose honey water?"
"Don't bother Aunt Qing Yang, I'm not thirsty, I'll just sit here for a while."
"It's no trouble. The Empress has always remembered that you like sweet food, so she specially collected a lot of roses this spring and asked the Imperial Kitchen to make nectar.
A while ago, I was still talking about leaving some sweets for you to enjoy during your confinement period, and this morning I specifically instructed my servant to bring out a small jar for you to try first to satisfy your craving."
Hearing this, Jiang Wan turned her head and looked towards the inner bedroom, thinking of the woman lying in bed, unable to get up. She was obviously a tough woman, but she had always treated her with the utmost patience and tenderness for so many years. A lot of sadness filled her heart.
"My mother has always loved me very much..."
"Yes, the Queen has always treated you like her own daughter. When you were little, you were naughty and always got into fights with others. The Queen scolded you before, then went out and apologized for you."
Qing Yang smiled and talked about the past, then quickly lowered her head to hide the tears in her eyes.
"Oh, look at what I'm saying. Princess, please don't be offended. I'm a bit talkative now that I'm older."
"Aunt Qingyang, how can you be so polite? You're not lying. I was just as boisterous and mischievous as my prince when I was little. I know that myself. Can I blame you for telling the truth?"
"I'm glad you don't blame me. Princess, please sit down first. I'll make you some nectar water to try."
"good."
After Jiang Wan watched Qing Yang go out, he turned to look at the silent Qing Liu.
"Aunt Qingliu, my mother is so seriously ill now. Is there nothing the Imperial Hospital can do?"
Qing Liu nodded respectfully.
"Both the old Doctor Sun and the current Doctor Qiao said that we must have a medicinal lead. As you know, that thing is too precious and hard to find."
Jiang Wan lowered his eyes in silence.
Of course she knew, the Master had already thoroughly researched it. If the Master hadn't been doing it for himself, Qin Shi would never have given such a valuable item to Prince An.
well.
Many things in life are not as we wish, such as human hearts, life and death.
She raised her eyes and looked at the courtyard outside the window, and she sighed again in her heart.
The Empress's days were numbered, and how much longer could the Emperor hold out? And what was the Crown Prince thinking? Was it really as the adults had suspected, or...
As expected, you can't talk about people during the day. Whoever you mention will come. Before Jiang Wan could retract his eyes, he saw a thin apricot-yellow figure walking into Fengming Palace.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince."
She quickly stood up from her chair, but the other person was already in front of her. She knelt down politely and the prince looked at her expressionlessly.
"Princess Qi, please excuse yourself and stand up."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
The two of them strictly observed the rules of hierarchy, as if they were not friends who had known each other since childhood, but strangers who had to be respectful to each other.
Even though he knew that the other party's respect and courtesy might be fake, he still thought about that bastard brother in the East Palace who would throw a tantrum at the slightest disagreement and kept saying that he wanted to hang his own brother on the crooked tree in the ancestral grave.
Even though the prince was extremely unwilling, he had to grit his teeth and accept the powerful Princess Qi.
"How is Mother today? Where is the imperial physician?"
"Your Highness, the Queen Mother has just fainted again. I have examined her and she is fine for now. Imperial Physician Qiao was here last night and has just returned to the Imperial Hospital. Imperial Physician Sun is brewing medicine in the back hall. How about I send someone to call him over?"
"No."
The prince looked at his sister-in-law who was pregnant, and finally felt guilty and waved his hand.
"You're pregnant, so don't mess around. Just sit here and rest. The fourth child will be here soon. I'll go in and see the Queen Mother first."
"yes."
The prince was about to leave, but after thinking for a moment he gave another instruction to the palace maid standing beside him.
"Aunt Qingliu, please take good care of Princess Qi."
"I obey your command."
The apricot-yellow figure didn't look back as he tiptoed to the Queen's chambers. Jiang Wan looked at the skinny figure, thinking about the other person's past and present life experiences, and couldn't help but sigh for him.
Li Yanxiu, from a young age, had been a brilliant and intelligent child, the kind of child from other families. His life couldn't be said to be particularly good, but in the ancient environment, he was considered to be extremely lucky.
I originally thought that since he had suffered in his previous life, this life would be smooth sailing. But who knew that life is like an unpredictable drama, and all the plots will be infinitely renewed with the slightest change.
In the original plot, although he was always unsuccessful in his pursuit of the throne and was eventually drained of his health by the Zhao family, he and his wife remained in love and their family remained together until his death.
It’s not like now, where I feel like I’m all alone.
In this life, past and present, which way of living is better?
Sitting in a chair, he took the honey water brought by Aunt Qing Yang and drank it sip by sip. Until the sun was high above the roof, Li Chengxiu followed the emperor into the gate of Fengming Palace with a depressed look on his face.
Even in the courtyard, one could still hear the emperor scolding his son.
