The old lady didn't understand what He Mei was talking about. She just waved to Bai Guo with a smile on her face and said, "Sit next to grandma. I haven't visited grandma in the past few days."
Except for Ging Guo, the old lady forgot about everyone in the Bai family.
Bai Guo wanted to check her pulse, but the old lady made a fuss to prevent Bai Guo from grabbing her wrist, "Can you not know what grandma's body is like? Do you also think grandma is sick?"
Bai Guo's hand stopped in the air. The old lady held her hand behind her back to prevent her from taking her pulse. Bai Guo felt uncomfortable in her heart, "It's not that my grandmother is sick, it's that I miss her and want to be close to her."
The last time her grandmother first showed signs of illness was when Mr. Hua Chenyi happened. At that time, Bai Guo didn't understand the old lady's pain. She only knew that the old lady forgot about her after that time.
Now Bai Guo could clearly feel the pain and helplessness of her grandmother at that time. At this moment, she was more at a loss than anything else.
Bai Guo was afraid, she was afraid that she wouldn't catch anything in the end.
Bai Guo held the old lady's hand tightly, "Grandma... please stay with me more..."
She is afraid.
But the old lady's condition did not get better or be cured like the last time. Every day, the old lady would hold the ginkgo in her hand and ask everyone who wished her good morning.
After hearing the news, the prince took time out of his busy schedule to visit the Bai family. After that, the officials in Kyoto seemed to have received the message and began to send gifts and care for the old lady. However, it was nothing compared to the most important thing in Kyoto now. A small thing.
Bai Mingzhi, Bai Mingsong and others were making medicine in the pharmacy every day, and Ging Guo was caught by the old lady talking about things in the house. The old lady said that if she talked too much, she might remember them, but what she didn't know was Ging Guo. I just talked about it an hour ago.
The old lady's condition became more serious, catching the Bai family off guard.
Bai Yujing and Bai Yutang were unable to take leave at this critical juncture. Bai Mingzhi, Bai Mingsong and others were questioned seven times by the court in just half a month at home.
Chang Ziming came to see Ni Dairou one day and didn't know what he said. However, after that day, Ni Dairou asked all the younger members of the family to return to the court.
At home, only Ni Dairou and He Mei are in charge, and then there is Ginkgo, who is dispensable in Kyoto.
Gingguo stayed with the old lady all day long, or made medicine, but it was obvious that the old lady's condition was getting worse day by day.
Mammy was advising Bai Guo at the side, "Third Miss, don't be sad. The old lady will be fine. It's getting late. Third Miss, go back and rest early."
She was comforting Ging Guo, but her own eyes were all red.
Bai Guo held the old lady's hand and put it on his face. He looked at the old lady's slightly numb and calm face and shook his head, "I want to be with my grandmother tonight."
"Go back." The old lady's eyes were cloudy and all the harmony in her eyes disappeared, but her words were still gentle, "Grandma is waiting for you to come over tomorrow."
Ginguo felt the coolness in the old lady's palm, and nodded after a long time, with a dry voice, "Okay."
The old lady looked at Ging Guo who was lying on her lap and was reluctant to move. She covered Ging Guo's head with her other hand and touched her hair. "Grandma doesn't want to take medicine tomorrow. Don't give it to grandma." For burns on the hands, the dressing must be changed in time, otherwise it will not be good if it leaves scars.”
Mammy couldn't help turning her back and covering her mouth with a handkerchief and crying. Bai Guo didn't dare to raise her head for fear that the old lady would see her face full of tears.
"Good boy, don't cry." The old lady's calm words made Bai Guo cry no longer, her voice sobbed and painful, "Grandma...grandma..."
"Isn't grandma here?" The old lady stroked Ging Guo's head again and again, as if to comfort her, "Grandma hasn't seen Mingsong and the others get married, and she hasn't seen you get married yet. How can something happen to grandma?"
"Go back and have a good night's rest. Come over tomorrow to talk to grandma for a while."
Bai Guo looked at the old lady with sad eyes, and nodded obediently, "Okay... my granddaughter will come over early tomorrow to pay her respects to her grandmother."
Mammy helped the old lady go to the inner room. Bai Guo's heart ached when she saw that the pace was much slower than before.
The Bai family is a medical family, but why are there so many diseases that the Bai family cannot cure?
After Ni Dairou finished handling the affairs in the house and asked about Bai Guo, the answer he heard was indeed: "Still in the pharmacy."
Ni Dairou, dressed in plain clothes, looked at the dark starless night sky in the hall and said nothing for a long time.
The maid hesitated and said softly: "Won't Madam go and persuade the Third Miss?"
"What's the use of persuasion?" Ni Dairou lowered his gaze. "She has had a smooth life. She always thinks that many things can be interfered with by human beings. She always thinks that she can accomplish many things that others cannot."
"But how can a person always get what he wants? He is powerless and miserable..."
Ni Dairou calmed down and continued: "She will always understand, and she will always understand life, old age, illness and death in a true sense, and she will eventually get out of it."
Ni Dairou rubbed his forehead and said, "It's not like this for the rest of your life."
Happiness, pain, life and death...these are always intertwined.
The maid sighed softly, "I hope the third lady can really find the prescription."
Such a dazzling person, the maid could not imagine what she would do if such a person could not get out.
Ni Dairou was silent for a while and said softly: "Delirium and lying are Yang diseases. The body is slightly hot, the pulse is floating and large, and the hands and feet are warm. They are all Yang syndromes. These pulse syndromes are consistent, so they govern life."
Delirium, delirium, cold body, heavy and thready pulse are yang diseases, and the yin pulse is not harmonious, so death will not take more than a day.
It was just past midnight when Gingguo suffered from angina pectoris. The bowl of newly poured decoction slipped from his hand and smashed to the ground. The bitter smell of the medicine flowed all over the floor and instantly infected Ginguo's whole body. The unprecedented unpleasant smell made Ginguo vomit and seemed to want to drain his heart and lungs. Spit it out together.
Following Bai Mingxia, Ge Yin, who had already returned, hurried to the pharmacy. When he saw Bai Guo kneeling on the ground, he was shocked, "Supervisor Bai! Supervisor Bai!"
Ge Yin has been following Ging Guo for several years. He dragged Ging Guo out of the pharmacy between Ging Guo's movements, and then fetched water and rinsed Ging Guo's mouth. His eyes were full of concern. When more and more servants came, he was interrupted by Ging Guo's words. The question paused.
"What's wrong with grandma?" Bai Guo looked at Bai Mingsong, who had returned from unknown time.
Bai Mingsong no longer looked like before, now as silent as Bai Minghui.
"Where's grandma...?" After Bai Guo said this, he seemed to have come to his senses. He stood up and wanted to go to the backyard, when Bai Mingsong said, "Grandma is gone."
Everyone in the family went over, except Bai Mingsong who was assigned by Ni Dairou.
Bai Guo sat on the ground in a daze, wanting to cry but feeling ridiculous. Her grandmother even said yesterday that she wanted to talk to her for a while. How could she be gone?
"Brother, has grandma gone to worship Buddha?" Bai Guo looked expectantly and felt relieved.
Bai Mingsong looked at Ging Guo, who had lost a lot of weight in just a few days, and hesitated.
The last news of the emperor's death was less than two months ago. Can Gingguo... be able to hold on?
Both of them are important to Ginkgo.
Bai Mingsong's silence made Ging Guo feel that the smell of the soup was even stronger, as if it was clinging to him, and Ging Guo retched again.
The servant panicked and patted Ging Guo on the back to cheer him up.
The plain colors of the Bai family were all replaced by white. Ni Dairou calmly arranged a series of matters, and paid attention to Ging Guo, whose expression was almost numb. He watched Ging Guo kowtow, watch Ging Guo keep vigil, and watch Ging Guo burn one ingot after another.
Those who packed away the old lady's belongings were Bai Yujing, Bai Yutang, Ni Dairou, He Mei and the personal maid.
When Ging Guo went inside the house, she felt like everything was unfamiliar.
She heard from her mother that her mother-in-law had already taken back her body deed and was just waiting for the incident in the house to be over to leave.
Bai Guo went to see her grandma, but the eloquent grandma seemed reserved when she saw her.
Bai Guo was silent for a while under Mammy's action and then asked, "My grandma couldn't remember me back then. Is it because her condition didn't get better?"
Mammy's eyes were panicked for a moment but she wanted to say something to deny, but the lies she could not say came out of her eyes when she looked at Ging Guo.
"……yes."
Mammy shook her sleeves and said, "After the old lady knew that she had forgotten Miss Third, she asked the servant to tell you about you and then write them down on paper. She got up early every morning and took an hour to write down those things, over and over again."
The old lady would write down everything that happened every day. She would write it down every day.
In fact, these are easy to see. If Bai Guo stayed in the Bai family for a few more days, he would definitely be able to see the flaws, but those were the last few months of the emperor...
On the second day after the old lady was buried, Ging Guo locked himself in the room and never came out.
Bai Mingzheng was still thinking about relieving his cousin's pain by relying on his body, which was no different from his childhood. Indeed, he was stopped by several maids before he entered the courtyard.
Bai Mingzheng had never seen these people and wanted to force his way in, but Liu Zuo was not a show-off. He only told his master after a few glances, "They are all trained. I'm afraid Supervisor Bai really doesn't want to see anyone."
Bai Mingzheng came back chattering.
Everyone could keep their composure, but not Ni Dairou.
She knew that Bai Guo didn't want to see anyone, but that he was locking himself up.
It has been five or six days since Baiguo returned to the yard that night, but no one who delivered the food can get in! If it weren't for the maids who were bringing hot water every day, Ni Dairou would be really afraid of something happening.
Bai Mingzhi went to the door of the courtyard every day to look inside. After being asked away by the maid, she secretly leaned on the wall and looked inside. But at this time, Bai Mingzhi felt that the large courtyard was not a good thing!
But Bai Mingzhi was not without discovery. For example, those people who often followed Ging Guo were no longer there.
Bai Mingzhi felt strange. Just when she was about to climb over the wall, she saw Bai Minghui watching her from below for a long time.
Bai Mingzhi curled her lips and came down from the wall. She was about to lure Bai Minghui away first when she heard Bai Minghui say: "She is not in the house."
Bai Mingzhi was stunned for a moment, "Sister A's not here? Then where did she go?"
Bai Minghui shook his head, and Bai Mingzhi was silent for a while, and then spoke again: "But the enthronement ceremony is just in these few days."
As expected, Bai Guo did not show up at Xuanyuansi's enthronement ceremony. When asked in court, the Bai family had already become accustomed to giving a bitter explanation in an instant: "I'm afraid it will be difficult to hold up the body after being hit one after another."
All the countries sent envoys to Chengzhou to send congratulatory gifts, and everyone had their own thoughts after hearing the words.
On the contrary, the twelfth son of the late king Xian Guo specially sent a copy to the Bai family.
On this day, everyone in Kyoto came to see the new emperor.
