Wishing You Eternal Happiness - Chapter 65
The eight sash cabinets fall to the ground, and a layer of blue gauze is put on the heart of Luotian in summer, which not only partitions the interior, but also shields mosquitoes and flies. This winter, due to the unusually cold weather in Beijing, after the winter, a thick layer of quilted satin with a rich and noble jade pattern was covered on the upper head. It was originally placed in front of the bed to block the wind. The old lady felt depressed, so she moved to Behind the head of the bed, a small room was separated, and another bed was laid inside. When Jia Fu came to accompany the night, she slept in it when she was sleepy.
The emperor came out of the palace in a micro service, with only Li Yuangui and two personal guards by his side. Until he arrived outside the Pei mansion, Pei Quan knew that Sheng had come in person, hurriedly straightened his clothes, and led his children to greet him. People knelt all over the floor. Xiao Lie only said a few words, Mrs. Dao Pei respected her position and respected her. The eldest grandson is now working on foreign affairs. He heard that Mrs. Tai was not in good health, so he could not rest assured, so he went out to visit the palace to avoid all the red tape.
Pei Quan burst into gratitude. Behind him, he hurriedly led Xiao Lie to the Beitang where the old lady lived. All the female relatives avoided. The two imperial physicians walked in. Pei Quan saw that the old lady had woken up and hurried forward to help. Xiao Lie was already Take a step forward, stop Pei Quan, and tell the old lady to lie down again without getting up.
Mrs. Pei called her son over and helped herself to sit up slowly.
Although her face was extremely haggard, her eyes still looked clear, and she said, “How can you dare to drive out of the palace for a visit if you are so stubborn? A lot of disrespect, too scared.” With that, she ordered Pei Quan to help herself again. He performed the ritual of kneeling on the bed, and then he leaned on the carved leaning eaves at the head of the bed.
Xiao Lie asked the accompanying doctor Hu and another imperial doctor to treat the old lady. The second imperial physician was about to step forward, and Mrs. Pei shook her head and said: “Long live the heart, the old man is happy, but you don’t have to worry about the imperial doctor anymore. Both of them have the ability to get rid of flesh and blood. Hard work, but I know how old my body is.”
She said a few more words, then panted slightly and stopped.
Xiao Lie’s expression was sorrowful, silent, and there was silence in the interior for a while.
After a while, Xiao Lie raised his eyes and looked at Li Yuangui standing behind him.
Li Yuangui took a step forward and said, “Long live to go out of the palace tonight, because of the kindness of Mrs. Tai’s previous care, let the two imperial doctors withdraw. Master Pei, you and our house also go out and wait outside.”
Pei Quan hurriedly responded, and together with the imperial physician, bowed to Xiao Lie, and then left the chamber, sent all the people away, and retreated far away. Only Li Yuangui stood outside the North Hall, waiting for the emperor to come out.
Only Xiao Lie and the old woman sitting on the bed were left in the inner room. The shadow of the candle flickered, Xiao Lie got up, before reaching the bed, bent down, and whispered: “Old lady, what can’t you let go of? , Even though I know it, as long as I can do it, I will do everything.”
Mrs. Pei closed her eyes slightly at first, as if fainted, she slowly opened her eyelids, and looked at the emperor who was leaning over for a moment, her lips slightly closed, but she answered the wrong question: “Long live, Youan’s identity, when are you? Know, how do you know?”
After Jiafu stood holding her breath in the Bisha cupboard, she suddenly heard Mrs. Pei ask this sentence, although she couldn’t see her expression, she felt it faintly.
The old lady’s tone changed. When talking to the emperor, she was no longer as respectful as when Pei Quan and others were standing in front of her. At this moment, it sounded like a hint of questioning, as if standing in front of her hospital bed at this moment. The man is not the supreme emperor in this world, but just a nephew of her descendants.
She asked how the emperor learned about “Youan’s identity”. Jiafu knew that Pei Youan was an illegitimate son Wei Guogong took back, but how did the emperor know? What does this have to do with the emperor? The old lady suddenly asked him what this meant?
Gaffer was a little surprised.
But then, the emperor’s reaction was the beginning of what really surprised her.
She looked out quietly from a gap between the partitions of the Bisha cupboard.
There was no surprise in Xiao Lie’s expression, let alone the sorrow that would have been due to disrespectful questioning.
He just looked at the old woman on the hospital bed, was silent for a long time, and said in a low voice: “After I returned to Yunnan, it coincided with the unrest in Tubo, so I led my troops to quell the chaos. After more than a year, wait for me to calm down. After the chaos, I returned to Wuding and learned the news that Wen Jing was ill in the Ci’en Temple a few months ago…”
His voice was already low, and after saying this, it seemed that his emotions were difficult to control for a while, and his voice suddenly stopped.
The old lady said nothing.
After a while, Xiao Lie spoke again, his voice trembling slightly, and changed me to me: “I clearly know that Wen Jing’s disease has been cured when I left Ci’en Temple. Doctor Mei said to me personally, as long as I recuperate for a while. I would be cured by the day. When I was in Tubo, I always thought that she had returned to the palace, but never thought of…”
He took a deep breath, as if calming down.
“Later I sent someone to quietly come back to inquire, and learned that shortly after I left, her illness worsened, and she stayed in the monastery more than half a year later. I can’t believe it. This matter has always been in my heart. I couldn’t let go. A few years later, I personally went out of Yunnan again and found the doctor Mei, who had returned home at the time. Old lady, you know, I was kind to the doctor Mei, who was about to pass away at that time. Before dying, she finally confided to me that soon after I left, Wen Jing found out that she was pregnant…”
“It’s all my fault, I killed Wenjing…”
He closed his eyes, and when he opened them, his eyes were full of regret and sadness.
The room became quiet again.
Gaffer was behind the Bisha cupboard, holding his breath, his heart was beating so fast, he couldn’t believe his ears.
…
In the second year of Tianxi, there was a flood in Beijing. After the flood, a plague spread. Although Emperor Tianxi, who had just ascended the throne, ordered the Imperial Medical Office to fight the epidemic with all its strength, there are still hundreds of people who die from the epidemic every day inside and outside the capital. In the palace, although there was a high wall blocking it, it was not spared. Some people got sick and eventually spread to the harem. Unfortunately, the young queen was also infected with the plague. At that time, several people in the palace died. , Decided to leave the palace and move to Xiyuan, hundreds of miles away, waiting for the plague to pass. In order to avoid further spread of the epidemic in the palace, Baiguan suggested that Empress Pei Wenjing should be sent to the Royal Ci’en Temple to recuperate.
Pei Wenjing is not only beautiful, but also talented and talented. He has the ability to chant through the eyes. Emperor Tianxi has a deep affection for her. At that time, he couldn’t bear to leave her who was seriously ill alone, but as an emperor, he was burdened by the society. The weight of the Li Min, coupled with the dissuasion of hundreds of officials, finally reluctantly sent her to the temple.
Pei Wenjing’s illness became more and more serious. The physician Mei who had also entered the Ci’en Temple was helpless. Emperor Tianxi was also very anxious when he heard the news. He wanted to visit several times, but was dissuaded by hundreds of officials.
It was at that time that Xiao Lie ventured out of Yunnan privately, and rushed to the capital quietly day and night, then disguised as a guard, sneaked into Ci’en Temple, and brought Yunnan native medicine to the doctor Mei.
Maybe it was because Pei Wenjing couldn’t die at the time, or maybe it was for other reasons. In the next period of time, her condition gradually improved, and Xiao Lie stayed in the temple during those months. He did not leave, until a few months later, when Pei Wenjing’s condition finally recovered, he quietly left the capital and returned to Yunnan.
“The first emperor has a precious status, so naturally you can’t risk getting close. When the old man went to visit the sick, he saw the palace servants who were attending the temple, and they were all trembling. Heavy news, willing to take the risk, privately went out of Yunnan to bring medicine for her. You are very grateful for Wen Jing’s love.”
Tears gradually flashed in Mrs. Pei’s eyes.
“It’s just that I know my daughter. Wen Jing has been dignified and respectful since she was a child. As a queen, she didn’t know what was at stake. Even if you came from a long distance for her, she still had a bit of affection for you for a while, and she didn’t believe it. , My daughter, she would have done something like that without knowing the severity! Long live, Wen Jing’s life was saved by you at that time, but it is true that her life was later taken by you!”
“Wen Jing has gone. I am not as good as a beast, and I dare not humiliate her undead. Old lady, you are right. I was indeed out of control at the time and I was barely better than her, but I was very careful. I never thought After I left, she actually became pregnant. It was I who killed her.”
Xiao Lie’s eyes were red, and he looked at the old woman on the hospital bed, slowly lowering his figure, and finally landed on her knees and knelt down firmly.
“By the time I learned from the doctor Mei, it was already a few years later. At that time, You An had become the son of the Lord of the Country, and I could not do anything…”
Gaffer stared at the emperor who was kneeling to Mrs. Pei. He already understood everything in his heart, but felt incredible, and the whole person was plunged into utter horror.
Old Mrs. Pei seemed to be caught in a certain emotion of her own. As if she hadn’t seen her, she let Xiao Lie kneel and remained silent for a long time, and then said: “Long live, when Wen Jing first learned that she was pregnant, she also had a cruel heart. Tiger and wolf medicine, but the child refused to fall. She couldn’t bear to kill him again. In the end, she continued to stay in the monastery in the name of recuperating and gave birth to him. Within two days after giving birth to the child, Wen Jing died of blood in the stool. , The child was not full, but seven or eight months old. At that time, the old man thought that the child would be able to feed, and it would not be longevity in the future. It was really unbearable for him to live outside and suffer, so he took him back to the mansion. , Raised under the name of Longfang…”
“Long live, do you know that since the first day the old man decided to take him back and raise him, he has never thought about letting you know his relationship with you. The old man originally wanted to let this child live a good life? Years, even if I went there for the last year, it was considered to be worthy of the trust of Wenjing. But the old man did not expect that the meaning of God is far from what people expected. Youan grew up when he was sixteen and thought he was my son. The illegitimate son of He thinks that he hates his identity and is willing to leave Beijing. When he was seriously injured, he was rescued by you. The old man knew it, and you must have learned his identity. From then on, the old man would be dead. There are hidden worries…”
Xu was emotionally fluctuating, and the old lady suddenly coughed, her face pale.
Xiao Lie hurriedly got up from the ground, stepped forward to support, and rubbed her back.
Mrs. Pei gradually calmed down and panted, and waved her hand: “Long live, you are now ascended to the throne and become the lord of the world. But for Yu Youan, it may not be a blessing. You must know that if you love him, when you are far away, it is as if you don’t have a son like him. , This is your protection for him. But you don’t! These years, the old man has watched you get close to Youan with his own eyes. Long live the old man has never thought that Youan will know his life experience. But long live you have ever thought about it. , In case one day, his identity is known, where do you want to put him? Then how will Youan behave? How will the people around Long live think?”
The room fell silent again.
After a while, Xiao Lie raised his head, gritted his teeth, and said word by word: “He is the son of my beloved person, and I will never tolerate others hurting him. The old lady can rest assured.”
