The Queen Mother lay on the bed like gold paper, panting slightly.
"The humble minister is incompetent, but the old woman's longevity is over."
Doctor Liu sighed heavily and shook his head helplessly.
The Empress Dowager is not young anymore, and her body is no longer as strong as when she was young, and because she was so angry, she suffered a huge loss.
Now I can only hang it with ginseng to delay it for a while.
The emperor stepped back, Zhuang Zhao quickly supported him and called out "Your Majesty" worriedly.
He shook his head and forced a smile: "I'm fine."
Aunt Zheng calmly tucked the quilt for the Empress Dowager and wiped her tears.
"Emperor" The Empress Dowager opened her eyes with difficulty and raised her hand tremblingly to call him.
The emperor immediately walked to the bedside and held her hand.
"My grandson is here.
Grandma, are you feeling better?"
The Empress Dowager smiled faintly: "Birth, old age, illness and death are the causes and effects of the world.
Your grandfather cannot escape it, let alone the Ai family."
She took a breath and continued: "The prince is still in Anhe Palace.
You will send someone to take him back later.
Well, the Ai family may not care about him anymore."
"My grandson obeys," the emperor said tremblingly.
She patted the emperor's hand and said, "Don't worry, I won't leave so easily before watching the prince's first birthday party."
"My grandson understands."
He saw that the Empress Dowager looked tired and stood up and said, "Grandma, take a good rest.
My grandson will leave first."
The Empress Dowager closed her eyes, not sure whether she heard it or not.
The emperor took Zhuang Zhao back.
On the way, Yuan Bo described everything in the palace.
Zhuang Zhao secretly paid attention to the intelligence of this girl Lin, while the emperor sneered all the way.
He suppressed his anger, and his face was gloomy when he entered the palace, indicating that a storm was coming.
"The Empress Dowager is feeling unwell, so today's banquet is over.
My dearest ladies, I will reward you another day."
He comforted the three of them and then dismissed the banquet.
Lin Wan deliberately stayed until the last group and walked out with graceful steps.
Zhuang Zhao smiled softly, silly girl, you have to use your beauty trap at the right time.
Do you think the emperor still has the heart to appreciate your graceful figure at this time?
The emperor calmed down and said: "Princess Baifu is so seriously ill, I'm afraid it will be difficult to recover her consciousness.
From today on, she will move to Jing'an Palace and no one will be allowed to visit her.
Violators will die."
This ban sealed not only Jing'an Palace, but the entire palace.
The Forbidden City suddenly returned to winter, cold and silent.
The sadness in the emperor's eyes became heavier and heavier, so heavy that it made her heartache.
He said nothing and there was nothing she could do to comfort him.
But when she was alone at night, she always hugged him tightly.
The delicate and gentle fragrance lingered on the tip of his nose, making him always feel at ease.
No matter what, they can hug each other for warmth.
He loved her, and so did she.
"I suddenly felt that I was so cruel in wanting to leave you alone in this world."

The emperor whispered: "It must be very painful for a person to face lonely and long days."
Zhuang Zhao gently stroked his head, "So, this may not be a relief for the Empress Dowager."
The emperor took a long time to hum.
She smiled again and said: "You don't know how disgusting the way you used to make arrangements for your funeral is.
It seems that it's not difficult for you to let go.
You don't miss me at all.
I'm always thinking that I should wait for you.
After I go there, I will recruit some male pets into the palace to have fun, and maybe I can make you angry again."
Feeling the warm liquid falling on his hair, the emperor sighed, broke away from her arms, looked into her eyes affectionately and said: "You know, if there are only two of us, I will naturally take it with me when I leave.
You, I can’t bear to be alone.”
He didn’t use me, but me.
He said he couldn't bear it.
Zhuang Zhao threw himself into his arms, burying his head on his chest and refusing to move.
"But there is A Ling.
Are you willing to let her lose her parents at the same time?"
the emperor asked, rubbing her head.
She was at a loss for words.
If the emperor and his daughter asked her to choose, of course she would choose her daughter.
But, but She said dullly: "I really hope they grow up quickly."
This way she can feel relieved soon.
"Silly words."
The emperor smiled fondly.
If she could, she did want to be a silly girl.
The Empress Dowager's waking hours were getting less and less.
Most of the time, she lay there quietly, and her silence was scary.
Afraid that she would lose her breath in the next second.
Zhuang Zhao was a little surprised when she was invited over by Aunt Zheng.
She thought that the Empress Dowager would not want to see her.
Then I thought again, maybe it was to pave the way for the prince in the end.
The Empress Dowager leaned against the big pillow and squinted as Zhuang Zhao approached her.
Even an emerald green flowered coat and skirt could not hide her brilliance, her two curved eyebrows and her loving eyes were very similar to the year she entered the palace, but a little different.
Only that voice is still as alluring as ever.
"Good luck to you, old lady."
She saluted calmly and calmly.
The Empress Dowager struggled to raise the corners of her lips, "Sit down."
Aunt Zheng moved a small round stool for Zhuang Zhao to sit beside the bed.
"You are very lucky."
The Queen Mother said something confusing as soon as she opened her mouth.
Zhuang Zhao smiled and said, "Your Majesty means" "Back then, Yi'er and the King of Qi were fighting, and the backyard was weak.
The Ai family specially left three girls from aristocratic families to be selected for the final selection, in order to help Yi'er in the selection.
The Xie and Wang families were famous, and the Ai family was afraid that Wang Mang would appear again.
I chose you in the end."
Zhuang Zhao listened quietly.
"In the beginning, you were really helpful to Yi'er, and the Ai family thought they had done the right thing.
But later, as Yi'er cared about you more and more, the Ai family began to realize that something was wrong."

The Empress Dowager was so in the harem.
After many years, I still have this keen intuition.
"Sure enough, after he was deposed, he handed over the crown prince to you.
Although you are not a queen, you get more than a mere queen.
And all this is just because you have a good background."
She gritted her teeth and said: "Girls from aristocratic families like you don't have to worry about their livelihood since they are born.
They have dedicated people to teach them everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting to the private affairs of the family.
I'm not surprised to lose to you, but I'm not willing to accept it."
It was because of her unwillingness that she kept supporting the Dong family and suppressing Zhuang Zhao.
She had no objection to Zhuang Zhao, she just felt it was unfair.
Why are some people able to have things that others cannot achieve in their lifetimes as soon as they are born?
"The empress thinks it's unfair."
Zhuang Zhao saw through the implication of her words and said with a smile: "Being born is the most unfair.
Some people are born in the bitter cold land of Northern Saibei, and some people are born in the prosperous hometown of Jiangnan.
Some people are poor and some are rich.
Who should we blame?”
"My dear, your birth was not good, but your children are all descendants of dragons and phoenixes.
They are the most noble people in the world."
Zhuang Zhao said unhurriedly, even with a smile: "Then I am You can think it's unfair if you don't.
She is obviously better than Dong, but she can be the legitimate wife, but I can't be in this position for the rest of my life, and my children will be concubines for the rest of their lives.
This is fair to me. "?"
The Empress Dowager sighed, her unfairness was inherent.
Zhuang Zhao's injustice was man-made by Emperor Taizu.
When it comes to being unhappy, Zhuang Zhao is more qualified than her.
"It's ridiculous to ask others for fairness."
Zhuang Zhao said lightly, "I am where I am today because of the efforts of my ancestors and my father's generation.
I am just sitting back and enjoying the shadow.
You should be able to understand, right?
The ancestors of the nobles are the ancestors of the nobles.
Your children are more noble than any other children of the Zhang family.
That’s because of your efforts, isn’t it?”
The Queen Mother smiled weakly but firmly.
She took Zhuang Zhao's hand and left her the jade bracelet she always wore on her wrist.
"You are a good boy.
This bracelet is a gift from the Ai family to their grandson's wife."
This is the approval from the Queen Mother Zhuang Zhao took it respectfully and put it on his right hand.
The round arms look particularly white against the flowing jade bracelets.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
She looked leisurely, waiting for the Queen Mother's next words.
"You are very smart.
The Prince has your guidance, and the Yi family can rest assured.
You go."
After the Empress Dowager said these words, she could not hold on any longer.
Zhuang Zhao also stood up and left.
To be honest, the Empress Dowager's approval did not touch her much.

But the emperor should be happy.
She returned to Qianqian Palace, where the emperor was teaching A Ling how to speak.
Seeing her coming back, A Ling spat out saliva bubbles happily and opened his hands to hug her.
Zhuang Zhao smiled and held his daughter in his arms.
His sleeves were slightly pulled up, revealing the bracelet on his wrist.
The emperor noticed the bracelet immediately and asked, "This is what my grandmother gave you."
She looked at the emperor's surprised eyes and nodded, "Your Majesty, do you still remember that I once said that I am not a hard-hearted person.
When my love comes, she will naturally recognize me."
"Zhaozhao, you are so kind."
The emperor held her and his daughter in his arms, breathing a little excitedly.
Zhuang Zhao held A Ling with one hand and hugged him back with the other.
She responded to him softly in her heart: I am not good, but you are good.
Be very, very good to me.
As the prince's first-year banquet approaches day by day, the palace gradually becomes busy.
Half of it was for the first-year banquet, and half of it was for the Queen Mother's funeral.
Although it cannot be said verbally, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the days of the Grand Empress Dowager are really not too long.
In the past, I could barely eat some soft food, but later I could only eat liquid food.
Aunt Zheng served her with red eyes and finished the medicine.
She felt sorry for her and said: "Your Majesty, it's so painful."
The Empress Dowager raised the corners of her mouth and struggled to utter a few words with her mouth open: "After I leave, you, leave the palace."
Aunt Zheng immediately knelt down and shed tears freely, "I will go wherever you go.
If you go, I will go to the imperial mausoleum to guard the mausoleum for you."
The Queen Mother shook her head, gasped for air, was speechless, and patted the bed bitterly.
Seeing her like this, Grandma Zheng softened again, wiped her tears and said, "I will listen to you.
Please stop talking.
It is prudent to take good care of you."
The Queen Mother then closed her mouth with relief and smiled contentedly
