Lian Chengming said, greeted father-in-law Xu behind him, and said, "I heard that the empress mother is afraid of hardship and always refuses to take medicine. Recently, some good candied fruits have been paid to the west Xinjiang, and the children's ministers specially selected some good-looking ones. Maybe they will come up when the Empress mother takes medicine."
After receiving the instruction, father-in-law Xu stepped forward and handed the tray in his hand to the old mother in front of the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager's weak voice came: "the emperor is intentional. Although AI's family is ill, fortunately there are still people with you. Your government affairs are busy, and you come to visit AI's family from time to time.
AI family is just a minor illness. It will be better in a few days. You don't have to worry too much. Although AI family is old, it can last for a few years. "
"Where did the Empress Dowager say? The Empress Dowager has a long life and will live a long life. Don't say these unlucky words again." Lin Jinxiu smiled and scolded, in which the words were very perfect.
But seeing Lin Jinxiu, she didn't stay much. She got up and said to the empress dowager, "since your majesty has also come, the concubine will go back first. The princess should look for her concubine now."
"Minister and concubine leave." Lin Jinxiu saw the ceremony with the Empress Dowager. After getting the consent, she retreated. When she passed Liu Ruyan, she bowed her head and hurried over.
After Lin Jinxiu left, the old lady sent the boiled medicine. Liu Ruyan quickly took over, put the medicine bowl in his hand, politely nodded to chat, and said, "come to the palace."
The old lady did not shirk it, but handed the porcelain bowl in her hand to the Empress Dowager with an invariable smile.
The Empress Dowager frowned at the bowl of black potion, but Liu Ruyan and even Chengming stood there, and she could only drink it with her eyes closed.
Just now, the Empress Dowager's facial features were wrinkled. She closed her eyes for a long time, but then a sweet thing was stuffed into her mouth.
Lifting his eyes, he saw that Lian Chengming was still holding several preserves in his hand. He thought that what had just been put into his mouth was also preserves.
After holding it for a while, the Empress Dowager felt that the bitterness in her mouth had been dispelled. Then she smiled. Looking at Liu Ruyan and Lian Chengming standing side by side, she said, "you two still have a tacit understanding. Come on, I'm here today. I'm sleepy at home. After taking medicine and sleeping for a while, the emperor's government affairs are busy, so I don't have to run to shou'an palace so often. Let's go back."
"It's right for my son to come and greet me every day. Why should my mother say this to my son." Lian Chengming replied, but he wasn't ready to stay more, so he told the old mother, "take good care of my mother."
"My son and Minister leave."
"My concubine leaves."
When they left Shouan palace, Liu Ruyan sighed and said, "my concubine, go back to the palace and chant scriptures and pray for the Empress Dowager. Your majesty, go and be busy."
"So good, I'll send you back." Lian Chengming said, and undoubtedly raised his feet and walked in front.
Liu Ruyan didn't object, so he followed up.
In Zichen palace, Liu Ruyan's face was white and his body was a little vain. He raised his hand and pressed the Kang Table, which would ease his mind.
Zhen'er quickly put down the things in her hand, came forward, helped Liu Ruyan sit down, poured a cup of tea for Liu Ruyan, and said, "madam, you can't copy this Buddhist Scripture again. Your body is not good. How can you go on like this..."
Liu Ruyan waved his hand and said, "the Empress Dowager has been chanting Buddhism for many years. Now she is old. This palace chants scriptures and prays for her. The Buddha will also look at the Empress Dowager's sincerity for many years, so that the Empress Dowager will suffer less illness and disaster."
"It's good to chant sutras and pray for blessings, but madam, you can't copy Buddhist sutras with blood. How can your body bear it!" zhen'er almost cried out. Liu Ruyan has always been stubborn. Zhen'er persuaded her early, but in the end she failed. Seeing that Liu Ruyan's expression hasn't changed, she knew that she couldn't persuade her this time and couldn't help but be sad.
Late at night, Lian Chengming came to Zichen palace with a Buddhist Sutra in his hand. Zhen'er has prepared the meal and is taking the servant girls to the table.
Seeing that Liu Ruyan was sitting on the couch waiting for dinner, Liancheng gave the Buddhist scriptures in his hand to father Xu and walked in.
Zhen'er heard the news, looked back at Lian Chengming, secretly bit the corner of her lip, and came forward to salute Lian Chengming.
"Your Majesty is coming." Liu Ruyan came down from his couch, helped Lian Chengming's arm and sat at the dinner table with Lian Chengming, saying, "Your Majesty has just come from the Empress Dowager?"
In the twinkling of an eye, he saw the Buddhist scriptures in father Xu's hand, and Liu Ruyan asked.
Lian Chengming frowned slightly: "well, the Empress Dowager has been cold for many days and hasn't been well. The imperial doctor is watching. The Empress Dowager doesn't have a good appetite these days and uses very little food. I'm very worried."
"Your Majesty, don't worry. The Empress Dowager will be blessed by the Buddha after reciting Buddhism for many years." Liu Ruyan comforted and put a dish in lianchengming's bowl, but saw lianchengming's special eyes.
"You have been copying Buddhist Scriptures for the Empress Dowager these days?"
Liu Ruyan was very strict and slightly stunned, but then nodded and said, "yes, the Empress Dowager ate fast and recited the Buddha. My concubine thought that the Buddhist Scripture was more sincere than kneeling in front of the Buddha, so she copied some to the Empress Dowager."
"HMM." Lian Chengming answered and stopped talking. After eating, he said he wanted to go. Liu Ruyan sent zhen'er to deliver it.
When she came to the door just now, zhen'er hesitated, but finally she couldn't speak. Instead, Lian Chengming first asked, "how long has your mother copied Buddhist scriptures with blood?"
Zhen'er was startled and fell on her knees with a plop. Her voice was crying: "from the beginning, the empress was copying the Buddhist scriptures with her own blood, but she asked the slave and maid not to tell her majesty, but the empress's body was just ready to be raised. She couldn't hold it down. The slave and maid were worried, but they didn't dare to tell her majesty. I hope your majesty can persuade her!"
"Are there any copied scriptures in the house?" Lian Chengming took the Scriptures in father Xu's hand, looked down at a drop of dried blood on the Scriptures, and frowned tightly.
"Yes, the empress always copied it today, locked it in the cabinet, and sent it to the mammy next to the Empress Dowager the next day for worship next to the statue of Buddha."
When zhen'er had just finished speaking, she saw a dress of Lian Chengming flash in front of her. When she looked back, she found that Lian Chengming had gone in again.
Liu Ruyan was still eating. Seeing that Liancheng Ming had gone and returned, he couldn't help wondering: "Your Majesty?"
But Lian Chengming walked to the cabinet next to the bed, raised his hand and opened the cabinet, and several volumes of scriptures were immediately presented in front of him.
Liu Ruyan hurriedly ran over and grabbed the Scripture in Lian Chengming's hand: "why did your majesty suddenly turn over the cabinet of my concubine and return the Scripture to my concubine!"
