Lu Qingtang entered the palace again a few days later. This time she did not bring the baby, only Sumu.
She took out the medicines prepared in advance from the bracelet. These are all medicines for treating Alzheimer's disease, repairing nerves and helping her regain her cognition. She also specifically asked the grandmother who took care of her to always take the Queen Mother to recall the past.
Grandma burst into tears. When she learned the final result of Alzheimer's disease, she knew that the Queen Mother would not live long.
She took Lu Qingtang's hand and was very grateful, "I really didn't expect that in the end, you, a grandson-in-law, would have to take care of the Queen Mother's health. The Queen is not in good health, but the old slave understands that the Emperor, as an adopted son, is unwilling to set foot in Longqing Palace. . The concubines in the palace even refused to take a step closer, but the virtuous concubine, who is rarely seen on weekdays, often came to see the Queen Mother, which is really surprising."
When Lu Qingtang heard his mother-in-law mentioning his mother-in-law, he couldn't help but sigh.
The virtuous concubine was truly a person who knew how to repay kindness. She knew in her heart that the Queen Mother treated Mo Ze deeply and kindly, so she repaid her kindness.
But having said that, she hasn't seen her mother-in-law since giving birth, so she should go and see her.
Thinking of this, Lu Qingtang wanted to say goodbye to his mother-in-law and go to Chenghua Palace to meet his mother-in-law.
At this time, the Queen Mother, who was still losing her temper just now, immediately looked at Lu Qingtang. She smiled and asked, "Which palace are you from? I seem to have seen you before."
The Queen Mother asked this when she came.
But Lu Qingtang still answered patiently: "Back to the Queen Mother, I am Mo Zeshen's wife. My name is Lu Qingtang, and I am your granddaughter-in-law."
The Queen Mother still smiled coyly, "Hun said, I haven't even left the cabinet yet. Where did the grandson come from? If it weren't for your good looks, I would have beaten you out with a stick."
Lu Qingtang smiled, bowed slightly to her, and then her nanny saw her off Longqing Palace.
Standing in front of the gate, Mammy said apologetically: "Princess, don't mind, the Queen Mother has been acting like a child recently, always thinking that she has not left the cabinet yet."
Lu Qingtang shook her head. She looked at the plaque of Longqing Palace and said to her mother: "Do you know why the Queen Mother thought that she had not left the cabinet? Because her time in the boudoir was the best time for her. At that time, she had the love of her parents and the protection of her brothers, so she didn't have to worry about her future. , don’t worry that the whole family will be affected at any time. The palace has restricted her, making her no longer happy, and making her feel depressed. So, mama, talk to her more about what happened when you were not in the palace. This will be beneficial to the Queen Mother’s condition. .”
Although it can't be cured, it can always be delayed, which at least makes her happier.
Remembering the past is actually escaping the pain you have suffered, but who can face the hurt bravely?
After leaving Longqing Palace, Lu Qingtang took Su Mu to Chenghua Palace. As soon as they entered Chenghua Palace, the concubine Xian immediately backed away and asked about the Queen Mother's condition.
Lu Qingtang told her what might happen, and Xian Bin immediately cried.
She was not feeling sorry for her mother-in-law, but was worried that Mo Zeshen would not be able to accept the fact that the Queen Mother was about to leave.
I remember that when he was very young, Mo Zeshen was often secretly bullied by the maids in the palace because he was not liked by Concubine Ning. A virtuous concubine is just a talented person, even if she has the intention, she is powerless.
Fortunately, there was the Queen Mother, who loved Mo Zeshen very much and showed favoritism in everything. Even if she offended Emperor Kang Yuan, she still had to protect Mo Zeshen.
I remember that when Mo Zeshen was five years old, he contracted severe typhoid fever. Concubine Ning had Mo Zeqing at that time, but she ignored Mo Zeshen at all and allowed his high fever to persist. Someone in Qingquan Palace couldn't stand it and secretly told the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother immediately led people into Qingquan Palace and took Mo Zeshen away. They stayed by the bedside undressed for three days and three nights. Finally, Mo Zeshen's fever subsided.
Therefore, Mo Zeshen's life was saved by the Queen Mother, and their grandparents and grandchildren also depended on each other for the rest of their lives.
Concubine Xian was worried that if something happened to the Queen Mother, Mo Zeshen would be too sad.
"Mother-in-law, you know, I am not good at this kind of disease. In my opinion, this disease has no cure." Lu Qingtang sighed slightly, "If the Queen Mother can grow old quietly, It is a good death to suffer no pain, but I am afraid that the Queen Mother will suffer a lot. It is better to die happily than to grow old in pain and suffering."
The Xian concubine nodded, her eyes flushed, "My good boy, I understand what you mean. You have to follow Shen'er's advice and let him accept it slowly. Don't scare him."
"Mother-in-law, you know, don't worry." Lu Qingtang hesitated for a moment, then looked at the wise concubine, "Mother-in-law, I don't understand. As an adopted son, the emperor should at least pay a visit to the queen mother, so how can he ignore it. "
In her opinion, Emperor Kang Yuan was not the kind of heartless and unjust person, at least he would not do so in terms of face.
What's more, since he is a king, he should take the lead in demonstrating his filial piety, otherwise future generations will probably describe him in a bad light.
The virtuous concubine was also looking at Lu Qingtang. She raised the corners of her lips slightly and smiled, "How come? Your Majesty is the most filial. What's more, the Queen Mother is the legitimate mother, so he should fulfill his filial piety."
"But..." Lu Qingtang looked at her with some confusion.
The virtuous concubine was still smiling, with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes, "Do you know how he got the throne? That's because the Queen Mother's legitimate son is gone, otherwise how could it be his turn. Then do you know how he lost it? Is that true? Oh, he deserves to see the Queen Mother!"
After hearing these words, Lu Qingtang felt a chill down his spine.
Could it be that Emperor Kang Yuan did something dirty and killed the Queen Mother's child?
Thinking this in her heart, her face couldn't help but become ugly, and then she heard the wise concubine say: "Yes Tangtang, it is indeed as you imagined. The Queen Mother's only legitimate son is gone, and she can no longer have children and can only support her." A person who has no blood relationship with her came to power. But she didn't know it and thought it was an accident, but what would happen even if she knew it. The dead people are already dead, and the living people still have to live well, even force a smile. .”
After saying that, the wise concubine paused and sighed: "The royal family is rich and noble, but buried under the gold in this land are the dead bones of grievances. Every night late at night, they will talk about their grievances in your ears." . So Tangtang, don’t let Shen’er be tainted with imperial power, and be his prince. This road is too dangerous. As a mother, I hope that my child will be healthy and live a long life, which is better than having the power to dominate the world."
After listening to the Xian concubine's words, Lu Qingtang immediately stood up and knelt down to kowtow to her.
This is a mother's hope for the foster care of her children, and it is also Lu Qingtang's idea of treating her babies.
After sitting in Chenghua Palace for a while, Lu Qingtang went to Biyue Palace. Concubine Shu was preparing to have lunch, so Lu Qingtang sat down to eat with her.
