Zhu Di was a little curious in his heart. As a vassal king, he could get whatever he wanted. What could this old monk give to him?
He looked at the other person quietly, wanting to hear his answer.
"The poor monk wants to give a white hat to His Highness."
The old monk's answer was beyond Zhu Di's expectation.
He looked around subconsciously, fearing that someone would hear him and involve himself.
Then his expression suddenly changed and he looked at the old monk in front of him.
Although he doesn't read much, he still knows what the word "王" plus the word "白" means.
He angrily yelled: "Presumptuous!"
"Who are you, old monk?"
"How dare you bewitch me."
"If you want to die, I don't mind giving you a ride."
The old monk smiled and said nothing. He seemed not to have heard Zhu Di's words and just closed his eyes and sat down.
Seeing this, Zhu Di's expression changed again and again.
He wanted to kill the monk in front of him, but a voice in his heart told him not to kill.
Finally, Zhu Di snorted coldly.
Turn around and leave.
The old monk seemed not to notice and did not stop him.
He knew that Zhu Di would definitely come back to find him.
Because what he just said was too tempting, and no one in the world could refuse it.
…
royal palace.
Yang Xuan pushed the wheelchair and took Queen Ma to bask in the sun. An Qing stayed by Queen Ma's side and talked to her.
This was what Queen Ma requested, and Lao Zhu did not refuse.
In the past few days, Queen Ma's complexion has become worse and worse.
The so-called rush to happiness is of no use at all.
Lao Zhu had expected it, but it was still difficult to accept it.
Now, he spends most of his time with his sister every day.
"Yang Xuan, look, the sun rises and the moon sets, it has never changed for thousands of years."
Queen Ma pointed to the sky where the sun and moon were together and said.
However, the moon next to the sun is no longer so clear and looks like an illusion.
Yang Xuan looked in the direction that Queen Ma pointed and saw this scene.
He understood what Queen Ma wanted to say, but emotionally, he was a little unwilling to accept it.
Now everyone understands that Queen Ma won't last long.
Including herself, she knew it even more clearly.
In this last moment, she just wanted to see more of her children, and her Chongba.
"Empress, the sun and moon are now in the same sky!" Yang Xuan said.
"But the moon is already dim."
"It will disappear soon." Queen Ma replied calmly.
As soon as the words fell, the illusory moon just disappeared.
Yang Xuan was silent.
…
Queen Ma still fell down and was unrecognizable.
She was extremely weak.
Kunning Palace.
When Lao Zhu received the news, he ran over immediately.
"Sister, sister!"
Looking at Queen Ma lying on the bed, Lao Zhu called softly.
This cautious look does not look like an emperor at all.
"Chongba!" Queen Ma slowly opened her eyes and responded.
Seeing that Queen Ma recognized him, Lao Zhu hurriedly stepped forward and held Queen Ma's hand.
"Hey, look, the girl recognized us right away."
"are you OK?"
"Okay." Queen Ma nodded weakly.
"The medicine is here. Let's take it. Is it okay?" Lao Zhu asked carefully as Yu'er, Queen Ma's personal officer, brought the medicine.
"Take medicine." Queen Ma looked at Lao Zhu and forced a smile.
"Help me up."
"good."
Lao Zhu nodded and quickly stepped forward to help Queen Ma, while not forgetting to remind her.
"Sister, lean on us."
"Let's drink slowly."
Then he took the medicine and carefully fed it to Queen Ma.
"No hurry, ah!"
After taking a sip, Lao Zhu asked again: "Is it hot?"
"Bitter!" Queen Ma responded.
Lao Zhu wanted to feed her, but Queen Ma kept silent and shook her head.
Seeing this, Lao Zhu whispered in her ear: "Sister, you have to listen to me."
"You need to take good care of yourself."
"You must not..."
"What can't be done?" Queen Ma asked with her eyes closed.
"I can't die!" Lao Zhu felt pain in his heart, and tears fell from the corners of his eyes.
"You are just talking nonsense."
"Everyone is going to die, why can't I die?"
"No, we can't." Lao Zhu shook his head, his voice broken.
He was unwilling to accept that his sister had reached her end.
"If I don't die, I won't be a human being." Queen Ma took a very open mind and comforted Lao Zhu.
"You must not die!"
"Once you die, no one will call us Chongba anymore."
"Don't worry, I won't die." Queen Ma took a deep breath and continued, "Being a queen is enough for me in this life."
"But I'm not enough as your sister."
"It's never enough."
Queen Ma's words fell into Lao Zhu's ears, touching the softest part of his heart and making him cry like a child.
A man doesn't shed tears easily, but he hasn't reached the sad point yet!
"Sister!"
"Okay, Zhongba, don't be like this. You are so old and you are making people laugh."
"Sister, we beg you, you must get better."
"In this way, when you get better, we will take you out to see the scenery."
"All the famous mountains and rivers of our Ming Dynasty."
"Wherever you like to go, we will go with you."
"real?"
"Really."
"What about your court affairs?"
"Leave it to Biao'er!"
"He will succeed."
"That's good, just for you, I want to get better too."
"..."
Lao Zhu and Queen Ma talked about this a lot.
After Lao Zhu left, Queen Ma asked Yu'er to call Yang Xuan in.
"Empress." Yang Xuan arrived and saluted.
"Yang Xuan!"
"I'm here."
"Can you call me queen?"
"I want to hear it." Queen Ma looked at Yang Xuan and said weakly.
"Okay." Meeting Queen Ma's eyes, Yang Xuan's nose felt sore and he nodded heavily.
"Mother." He said.
"Why!"
"Good boy." Queen Ma smiled.
Then, she got down to business.
"Yang Xuan, after I die."
"Your Majesty will kill all the doctors who treat me."
"While I'm still alive."
"I will ask Yu'er to send them out of the palace."
"You meet them outside the palace and send them out of the capital."
"The farther you send it, the better."
"Tell them never to return to the capital."
"Escape quickly!"
Hearing this, Yang Xuan was filled with grief.
Queen Ma continued: "They have served me for so long, they don't deserve to die!"
"Mother!" Yang Xuan cried sadly.
Why, why do good people have to die?
Queen Ma is such a good person, why can't she live a long life?
Yang Xuan wanted to ask God, why is this?
"Go, go quickly!" Queen Ma urged.
"Yes." Yang Xuan had no choice but to wipe away his tears and bid farewell to Queen Ma.
That night, under Yang Xuan's arrangement, a group of imperial doctors left the capital.
When leaving, they each kowtowed three times in the direction of Kunning Palace.
"Mother, take care!"
