After hearing the sound coming from the door of the palace, Zhu Youhui immediately stood up and arrived at the door of the palace. However, the empress dowagers of the two palaces and the emperor were both in the palace at this time. So many people could not rush in at once and could only guard outside. , waiting for summons.
Among the many descendants of Zhu Qizhen, only one person has the privilege. After Zhu Qizhen woke up, he could enter the palace without any obstruction. That was the crown prince. The others had to wait outside. .
Zhu Youhuang was standing behind the crowd. He knew that as long as his grandfather regained some consciousness, he would definitely summon him.
The concubines had stopped crying just now, but now the Emperor woke up and started crying again, each one louder than the other, all trying to get a chance to survive.
Zhu Qizhen, who was lying on the bed at this time, couldn't feel the existence of his head at all. He thought about raising his hand to touch his disappeared head, but he was so weak that he couldn't even lift his arms.
At this time, Queen Mother Qian, who was sitting in front of the bed, looked at Zhu Qizhen's appearance at this time, could no longer restrain herself, and began to sob softly.
Although she was a queen in her life, she suffered an accident when she was young and was separated from her husband for ten years. Her best years were spent in loneliness. After that, although her husband and wife reunited, there was no love in her life. As a child, as a woman, life is destined to be imperfect.
Now she is no longer as graceful as she was back then. Queen Mother Qian is already forty-eight years old, wrinkles have crept up her face, and she can hardly see out of her left eye.
But her husband fell ill first... From then on, she really had no relatives.
The four people in the palace at this time, the Empress Dowager Zhou, Zhu Jianshen, and the Crown Prince Zhu Youkai, were a family. Although Empress Dowager Qian was not afraid of being indifferent, she was afraid of the loneliness in her heart.
"Your Majesty, can you see my concubine?"
Zhu Qizhen, who was lying on the bed, seemed to feel a glimmer of light after hearing his wife's voice. His cloudy eyes gradually became clear, and then he twisted his neck and saw Queen Mother Qian and Zhou standing behind Queen Mother Qian. The Queen Mother, the Emperor, and the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty.
After recognizing these people, Zhu Qizhen opened his mouth without making any sound. This made Queen Mother Qian anxious. She leaned against Zhu Qizhen's side and finally heard two words.
"Water, water..."
Then Queen Mother Qian stood up immediately, regardless of her dignity as Queen Mother, and trotted out of the inner room in front of Zhu Jianshen. She was outside, crying, and poured a glass of water for Zhu Qizhen with trembling hands, and then panicked again. Zhang ran to the bedside and tried to lift his husband up with his weak arms, but he couldn't do it.
At this time, Empress Dowager Zhou, who had been standing behind her, moved her red eyes to the inside of Empress Dowager Qian, then got on the bed, half-lifted Zhu Qizhen to his feet, and helped Empress Dowager Qian give her water.
Queen Mother Qian was Zhu Qizhen's first wife, and Queen Mother Zhou gave birth to Zhu Qizhen's eldest son. These two women were considered the most important people in Zhu Qizhen's life.
Zhu Jianshen looked at the scene of the two queen mothers serving Zhu Qizhen, sighed softly, turned around, and saw Zhu Youkai's eyes dim with tears, and then Zhu Jianshen patted Zhu Youkai's shoulder to comfort him.
After seeing Zhu Youkai, Zhu Jianshen suddenly thought of Zhu Youkai, who had the best relationship with Zhu Qizhen. He walked out quickly, and then whispered a few words to Zhao Huanong, who had been guarding the palace gate.
After Zhao Huanong received the order, he went down and brought Zhu Youhuang into the palace.
After Zhu Qizhen entered the palace, he looked at Zhu Qizhen lying on the bed. For a moment, his eyes turned red, but he did not shed tears. But after a while, his eyes were filled with tears, and then, Tears welled up in my eyes.
He didn't expect that he would cry, but he still couldn't control himself.
At this time, Zhu Youlang was proficient in bow and horse, well-read poetry and books, and most importantly, he always maintained a studious heart.
Even Zhu Jianshen couldn't catch up to this point.
Zhu Jianshen became interested in women when he was twelve or thirteen years old, and a year later, he made Concubine An pregnant with Zhu Youhuang. From then on, he was out of control on the road of women. Although Zhu Youshen at this time was even more mature than Zhu Jianshen back then. He is older, but he still maintains restraint when it comes to matters between men and women, and all his energy is spent on martial arts training and study.
After drinking the water, Zhu Qizhen's speech became clearer and he seemed to have some strength. He did not see Zhu Youhui's arrival immediately, but focused all his attention on his married wife.
"Queen, I have failed you in this life..."
After hearing Zhu Qizhen's words, Queen Mother Qian shook her head and cried: "Your Majesty, I have not been let down..."
"Queen, don't cry. Your eyesight is not good. If you are crying, I'm afraid you won't be able to see clearly..."
After hearing this, Queen Mother Qian burst into tears, and Queen Mother Zhou, who had been supporting Zhu Qizhen, could not control her tears. When Zhu Qizhen was dying, there was no longer any jealousy.
After Zhu Qizhen said a few words to Queen Mother Qian, he turned to look at Zhu Jianshen: "Emperor, the emperor is here..."
After Zhu Jianshen heard this, he walked up quickly. He bent down and was very close to Zhu Qizhen.
"Emperor, please, be kind to your aunt..."
"Father, don't worry..."
"Emperor, please, be kind to your brothers..."
"Father, don't worry..."
"Yes, you must be kind to your sons, the second son. The second son has been in North Korea for many years. If you can bring him back to see him, then let him come back..."
Hearing Zhu Qizhen's words, Zhu Jianshen hesitated for a moment. The second child in his mouth was none other than his eldest son Zhu Youhua, who was also a pain in his heart.
"No, no need to hold on. Come back and stay for a few days. There won't be any big trouble. You, you have always looked like a little adult since you were a child. Now, you are about to turn thirty, and you can become a child. Just become a child for a few days..."
"Father, don't worry, my son will let Zhu Youhua come back in a few days."
"Also, you should treat Youlu well and don't put him so far away. He seems to care about nothing, but he cares about everything. What he cares about most is you as his father, but he doesn't know that you still care about everything. There is one identity, that is, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty...the two identities of emperor and father are put together to make things difficult for you..."
After Zhu Jianshen listened, he turned his head and glanced at Zhu Youlang. At this time, Zhu Youlang lowered his head stubbornly. He didn't want anyone to see him crying.
"Yes, Father, I know..."
"Emperor, don't be so tired. I have lived forty-seven years, ten years longer than your grandfather. You will also live ten years longer than me. After I go down, I don't want to see you so soon... "
After Zhu Jianshen heard this, he was a little dazed... He was in a trance. At this moment, he seemed to see himself lying on the hospital bed, giving instructions about his affairs. At that time, he didn't know who was with him.
"Father, don't worry, I will try to live a few more years than you, father..."
While sleeping, Zhu Qizhen saw the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty who kicked him in the dream circle. He also saw his mother and his grandmother. When he woke up and regained some clarity, he knew that he would not die soon. That’s it.
Zhu Qizhen was originally a person who was very afraid of death, but now that he really knows that he is about to die, he is not as afraid as before...
He just had some regrets.
He failed his wife, failed his empire, and failed his father who held him in his arms and asked him if he dared to lead the expedition himself...
At the last moment of Zhu Qizhen's life, he thought of his great grandson.
"Is Youlu here..."
"Is Youlu here..."
After hearing this, Zhu Jianshen stood up and looked at Zhu Youhuang.
Zhu Youhuang also quickly walked to the bedside. Zhu Jianshen took a step back to bring Zhu Youhuang closer to his imperial grandfather.
Zhu Qizhen smiled when he saw his great grandson.
"Youlu, Grandpa Huang can't accompany you to Annan. You, you don't want to go to Annan either. Just stay in Daming..."
Even if Zhu Qizhen made the request on his deathbed, Zhu Youhuang was unwilling to give up his plan. He was unwilling to deceive his grandfather, but he did not dare to refuse directly.
After Zhu Youhuang's brief hesitation, Zhu Qizhen also understood.
"The war is in chaos. Take good care of yourself. If you really can't stay any longer, come back early..."
"Yes, Grandpa Huang..." Zhu Youhuang said with a cry.
Zhu Yourong cried, but Zhu Qizhen smiled.
"Ha, ha, ha, you, your kid can cry too..."
Then, without waiting for Zhu Youlu's reply, Zhu Qizhen closed his eyes again...
