Standing by the door, Gu linchao was always worried, but things in the capital were urgent. Finally, he got on his horse and left.
What he didn't know was that as soon as he got on his horse and left, the Empress Dowager who had entered the house hobbled out again.
She stood outside the house for a long time and watched him leave. Her expression was both gratified and lonely.
For a long time, she sighed and turned around holding mother Zeng's hand.
Seeing her sad expression, mother Zeng didn't know how to comfort her.
The Empress Dowager took two steps and suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Mother Zeng was stunned, "the Empress Dowager..."
The Empress Dowager gently wiped off her handkerchief, then waved her hand, "keep quiet."
Mother Zeng was so sad that she burst into tears.
"Don't do this. Don't teach him to see it." the Empress Dowager told him, "it's no big deal."
Mother Zeng knew that she was afraid of the princess, so she didn't say anything, but she sighed in her heart.
……
After Gu linchao left, Wen's days in the palace were as old as before.
She had no time to think about him because she had two children.
I am very busy with two children every day.
Time passed in a hurry, and in the blink of an eye she was out of the month.
March is the season when peach blossoms are in full bloom. Several peach trees were planted in the garden. Their branches are full of pink flowers. They are very beautiful.
Wen Zhenzhen holds Yaoyao, and Alto ginger flower holds Gu Huaijin, walking and basking in the sun in the garden.
Looking at the many children growing up in her arms, alto ginger flower was reluctant to give up. She looked up at Wen's beautiful face, which had already recovered her complexion. She wanted to stop talking for several times.
Wen has long noticed her abnormality, so he asked in a warm voice, "Jiang Hua, do you have anything to say to me?"
Seeing her asking, alto ginger flower had to say, "my brother has been in Xiangzhou for some time to welcome me back. Now that your month has been finished, I should go back."
Wen Shuo frowned, "do you want to go back to Xinjiang?"
"HMM." Alto Jianghua nodded, took Gu Huaijin for two steps, and looked at the south direction with some melancholy. "I've been here for nearly half a year, and my father Khan has been writing to urge me to go back. Before you were in confinement, I thought I'd mention it when you were out of confinement."
Wen Zhuo hugged his daughter and walked to her, "but did you wait for my little uncle? Things in the capital should have been settled, and my little uncle should be back soon."
A Tuo Jiang Hua lowered her head and hesitated to kick the stones on the ground. "My brother said that my father Khan has helped me find a suitable candidate for my son-in-law. As soon as I go back, I will agree on the marriage. I may... Can't wait for the Duke of Yasukuni to come back."
As soon as Wen Zhuo heard this, he became worried. "Don't be so impulsive. The person your father Khan chose for you may not be what you like. If you go back, everyone will not see you in the future."
"Ho ho." Alto Jianghua turned to interrupt her, "I have a good feeling for the Duke of Yasukuni, but even though the woman back to Xinjiang is straightforward, he hasn't given me any promise. I can't wait for him here all the time. If he goes to the capital and falls in love with other aunts this time, won't I become a joke?
If he really means that to me, even if I go back to Xinjiang, he should come to me. "
Wen Zhenzhen was stunned.
Since we met, alto ginger flower is informal. Unexpectedly, today, she speaks such mature and rational words. It seems that she has considered it carefully.
In that case, she had no need to persuade again.
She was silent and nodded. "You're right. If my brother-in-law likes you, even if you're far back to Xinjiang, he'll find you."
Seeing that she understood herself, alto ginger flower smiled, "Ho Ho, I'll miss you."
"So am I." Wen zhe zhe sighed, without saying anything more, "when you go back, write to me."
"OK." Alto ginger flower nodded. She was just about to hand Huaijin to Lvqiao. At this time, housekeeper Wang hurried over and said sadly, "princess, the empress dowager, please go with Princess Alto."
Wen was stunned. Seeing that his face was wrong, he was "cluttered" in his heart.
The Empress Dowager came to see her and her two children almost every day, but she didn't come today. She wanted to go with Alto Jiang Hua for a while. Unexpectedly, she asked housekeeper Wang to invite her.
She didn't ask much. Holding the child, she hurried to the yard where the Empress Dowager lived with Alto ginger flower.
When they passed, the Empress Dowager lay in bed. Mother Zeng sat on her foot, took her hand and burst into tears.
Doctor Lin stood in front of the bed with a frustrated face.
Seeing them come in, mother Zeng wiped her tears and stood up.
"Princess, princess, the Empress Dowager has something to tell you."
Wen Zhenzhen and Alto Jianghua came forward with the child in their arms.
"Empress mother."
"Empress Dowager."
The Empress Dowager was lying in bed with a pale face and no spirit.
Hearing their voices, he reluctantly opened his eyes and showed a kind smile, "you're here..."
Seeing her like this, Wen Zhenzhen nearly shed tears when his nose was sour. He didn't understand how the empress dowager, who came to see her and her children in her yard yesterday, turned into this in the blink of an eye.
She took the child in her arms and knelt down on her feet. "How are you, mother?"
"I, I'm fine..." the Empress Dowager coughed and gasped. She raised her hand to touch her hair, but she couldn't lift it halfway.
Seeing this, Wen Zhuo quickly grabbed her hand and put it on his head. As if nothing had happened, he smiled and said, "the queen mother must be well. Xiaojin and Yaoyao need your teaching."
The Empress Dowager touched her head with her fingers and still smiled kindly, "with the guidance of you and chao'er, the two children will grow up well. I'm afraid I can't accompany them..."
Wen Zhenzhen couldn't hold back his tears and choked: "don't say that, empress mother. You will live a long life..."
The Empress Dowager shook her head, "I am very satisfied to see my grandchildren born. I dare not be greedy any more. You must be good..."
"Empress mother, don't say that. You will be fine. The prince will be back soon..." Wen Zhenzhen was frightened and distressed.
The Empress Dowager sighed, "I'm afraid... I can't wait for him to come back. This child has suffered too much in his life. He must take good care of him for me..."
Wen Zhenzhen burst into tears. Seeing that her breath was getting weaker and weaker, she had to promise, "don't worry, empress mother, I will."
"That's good... I can go at ease too." the Empress Dowager looked pleased, then looked at Alto ginger flower, "ginger flower..."
A Tuo ginger flower hurriedly approached her and held her hand tightly. "Does the Empress Dowager have something to say to me? You say, I listen."
"Yan'er is a good person... If you like him a little... Give him a chance to marry you..." the Empress Dowager said with difficulty.
In the past half a year, alto Jianghua had already fallen in love with this kind old man. At this time, seeing that she had difficulty speaking, she couldn't help crying out sadly and said repeatedly: "well, if he came to ask me to marry me, I'll marry him..."
When the Empress Dowager heard the speech, she said happily, "that's good... You must all be well. She, mother Zeng... You and you should be kind to her after being with me all your life... Also, you don't have to tell chao'er about my death. Don't distract him..." after that, she gradually closed her eyes and her face was very peaceful, as if she was asleep.
"Empress mother -" Wen Zhenzhen wailed.
