The Longqing Palace was surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside, and everyone was guarding outside the palace.
Before reaching the palace, I heard Emperor Kang Yuan shouting to the sky, "Mother, why do you want to abandon me?"
Lu Qingtang's heart tightened and he immediately followed Mo Zeshen into the hall.
But seeing Emperor Kang Yuan's clothes in messy condition, he was lying in front of the bed, crying very sadly. If he hadn't known who he was, he would have actually thought that he was a filial son.
In front of the bed, the queen, concubine Shu and other concubines were wiping their tears with handkerchiefs. Concubine Shu cried until her eyes were swollen, and concubine Xian's face was also full of tears. As soon as he saw Mo Zeshen, those beautiful eyes were all fixed on him.
But Mo Zeshen didn't even look at her, he knelt down directly, then climbed up on his knees, "Royal Grandma, Shen'er is here!"
"Shen'er, you came just in time. Your imperial grandmother is dying..." Emperor Kang Yuan held his hand, "You are your imperial grandmother's favorite child. She is waiting to see you for the last time."
Mo Zeshen broke away from Emperor Kang Yuan's hand and held the empress dowager's bony hand, "Grandma Huang, I'm here. Shen'er is here to see you."
The Queen Mother was nestled in the quilt. She was so thin that there was only a handful of bones left, and her eyes were bulging out, but she still smiled at Mo Zeshen, "Who is Shen'er? Aren't you Qi'er? Qi'er, you are naughty." "
Mo Ze was stunned for a moment, and tears rolled down from his eyes. He immediately changed his words and said, "Yes, I'm Qi'er, I'm here to see you."
Not only Mo Zeshen was a little surprised, Emperor Kang Yuan on the side was also stunned, and indifference suddenly flashed on his originally sad face.
So he was angry?
How ridiculous that he can feel guilty!
Lu Qingtang cursed in his heart and heard Mo Zeshen and the Queen Mother whispering something.
The Queen Mother's voice was rare and loud, and she smiled like a child. Mo Ze suppressed the sadness in his heart and chatted with the Queen Mother about Qi'er and her past.
The Queen Mother's voice became softer and quieter, but Mo Zeshen's crying became louder and louder, which made Lu Qingtang feel very uncomfortable.
"Qi'er, where is your wife, call her... call her over..." The Queen Mother's breathing became heavier and heavier, and it became difficult to speak.
Lu Qingtang heard the Queen Mother calling him, so he immediately knelt and crawled in front of her and held the Queen Mother's hand.
She cried and said, "I'm here, Queen Mother. I'm Qi'er's wife. I'm here to see you too."
"Good children, don't cry, you should be nice, don't quarrel, don't let each other down..." the Queen Mother said, using her last strength to put their hands together.
The moment he felt the warmth of Mo Zeshen's palm, Lu Qingtang immediately remembered what had just happened at Lingquan Temple, and the grievances in his heart surged into his heart again.
She couldn't help crying, "We won't quarrel, I will take good care of Qi'er, don't worry, Queen Mother!"
The Queen Mother nodded, raising the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a beautiful smile.
Under the attention of everyone, the Queen Mother slowly closed her eyes and softened her body.
"Royal Grandmother!" Mo Zeshen shouted.
At this time, Emperor Kang Yuan immediately rushed forward, looking extremely sad, "Mother! Queen!"
Everyone was prostrate on the ground at this moment, and the sound of low crying lingered above Longqing Palace.
Eunuch Xu walked out of the hall with red eyes and a choked voice, and shouted in the air of Longqing Palace: "The Queen Mother is buried!"
…
The first night's vigil was held by the emperor. He fainted from crying several times, but still insisted on keeping vigil at Longqing Palace. No one could persuade him.
Mo Zeshen was dressed in mourning clothes and huddled in a corner. He hadn't eaten anything all afternoon and his face was obviously pale.
Lu Qingtang took a plate of snacks from Fei Yu's hand and walked forward slowly. She knelt down and whispered to him: "Your Majesty, eat something. Don't be too sad. The Queen Mother doesn't want you to be so sad."
She said, passing the plate in front of him.
Mo Ze took a deep look at the snacks on the plate, raised his eyes to look at her, and said coldly: "When did you know about that?"
Which thing?
Lu Qingtang was startled, then understood immediately, and then said to him carefully: "I also deceived it from Concubine Ning after some reasoning. In fact, I didn't want to hide your intention, but this matter involved There is too much land, I don’t have…”
"Then you admit that you lied to me?"
Mo Zeshen immediately interrupted Lu Qingtang's next words.
Lu Qingtang slowly retracted the dessert plate in her hand. She lowered her head and said in a voice as low as a mosquito, "I'm sorry, Mo Zeshen, I...don't be angry, this matter is my fault..."
She lowered her head, revealing her long, slender white neck, without her usual haughty look. Mo Ze couldn't bear to see her like this, so he tilted his head to one side and said in a cold voice: "You just apologize and that's it? What else are you hiding from me?"
"No..." Lu Qingtang blurted out subconsciously.
Of course she also deceived him about something, that is, she was not Lu Qingtang at all, but came from the future.
But wouldn't it frighten him if he said it?
Forget it, let's not talk about it. This matter will have to be buried in the loess with her.
She shook her head and looked at Mo Zeshen sincerely, "It's really gone. I've told you everything I know, and I won't hide it from you in the future. You believe me."
"Ha, let me believe you? Why should I believe you?" Mo Zeshen suddenly sneered, "The last time you said you wouldn't lie to me, it was your face. You have obviously restored your appearance, but you still disguise yourself I look so ugly. I told you that I don’t care about my appearance, but you just don’t believe me. Am I the kind of person who only cares about the appearance?”
Lu Qingtang bit his lip and immediately explained, "No, that thing...that thing is also my fault, but I definitely didn't question your intention, so don't think too much about it."
She didn't expect that Mo Zeshen would also settle old scores, but it was indeed out of distrust towards him.
But aren’t things over with them? Why bring it up again?
"Can't I think more? Why can't I think more?" Mo Zeshen snorted coldly and looked at Lu Qingtang again, "Lu Qingtang, have you never trusted me from the beginning to the end?"
Hearing Mo Zeshen's questioning, Lu Qingtang's original guilt disappeared in an instant.
It turned out that he was still worrying about everything before.
She bit her lip and patiently explained to Mo Zeshen again, "You are overthinking. I didn't mean that. I just considered too many things. I don't dare to draw conclusions easily on things that I am not sure about. It's like the Queen Mother's condition. I've actually discovered it a long time ago, but I need further confirmation, otherwise I won't be able to draw a correct conclusion. That's how I am, I won't do anything I'm not sure about. This is true in life, and it's the same in my practice of medicine. in this way."
After saying that, she exhaled from her mouth, and then solemnly continued with Mo Zeshen: "Your Majesty, I know you are very sad now, I understand your mood, and I will not argue with you. Let's Let's calm down for a while and meet again after a while. I will go back to the palace first, Mo Bao and the others are still too young and need my care. You will mourn in the palace first, and I will come to you after mourning."
After Lu Qingtang finished speaking, he stood up and put the plate of snacks on the table beside him. When he turned around and was about to leave, he heard Mo Zeshen say, "It's okay if you leave. If you leave, don't come back again."
Lu Qingtang didn't understand the meaning of these words, so he turned to look at him, and heard him continue: "Since you don't trust me, and you always want to leave, why don't I help you."
Lu Qingtang's brain buzzed for a moment, and he immediately became dizzy, as if he was about to collapse at any time.
