Chapter 329 Mother-Child Reunion
Mo Ziyao saw that he suddenly did not move and looked sideways. There seemed to be a man standing at the door. See clearly, that man is the maidservant Xiaoying of Princess Xi. I couldn't help but be shocked. I shouted something bad and hurriedly got up and went out.
When Xiaoying saw that it was Ruan Lingzheng who opened the door, his eyes widened with shock and instinctively shouted, "Your Majesty..."
I didn't expect the emperor to be here. She was stunned for a while before she reacting. Her knees softened and suddenly knelt in front of Ruan Lingzheng. He knelt down in fear and said to him, "I don't know the emperor. I bumped into the emperor. Please forgive me!"
Ruan Lingzheng didn't seem to be listening to her, but showed a look of surprise and confusion. A sense of familiarity that he had seen somewhere hovered in his heart and stared straight at her, as if to pierce her.
Xiaoying seemed to be scared by his terrible eyes, and his kneeling body kept trembling. And Ruan Lingzheng's surprise will not be less than her. His face changed, and he finally remembered some past events. He tried his best to suppress the terrible waves in his heart, and finally asked with complicated eyes: "Is that you? I know you. You are the maidservant beside my mother. Why did you appear here?
"Your Majesty, the maidservant appeared here because...because...because..." Xiaoying was scared into a cold sweat, her head was chaotic, her lips trembling, and she didn't even know what she was talking about.
Seeing this, Mo Ziyao rushed to Ruan Lingzheng and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I'm wrong. The situation of Princess Xi should not be hidden from you. However, if Ying'er is so eager to come, something must have happened to Princess Xi. Please go over and have a look before punish me.
She knows that she can't hide Ruan Lingzheng's affairs, so it's better to confess. She knew that Ruan Lingzheng was shocked and psychologically, it was difficult to accept for a while, but she knew that no matter how complicated his feelings for Princess Xi were, he could not escape.
Ruan Lingzheng's face finally showed an unconcealed ecstasy. He pulled up Mo Ziyao and did not mean to blame, but held her arms and said excitedly, "What are you talking about? Mother, she... Is she still alive? Is it?"
Mo Ziyao nodded hard, held his hands trembling with ecstasy, and said, "Your Majesty, I also found Princess Xi a few days ago. However, her situation is not very good. I came to Dr. Zhong to see a doctor for him.
With that, he stepped forward and asked Xiaoying, "Get up first. Is there something wrong with the imperial concubine?"
This question, Xiaoying seemed to come out of Ruan Lingzheng's shock, glanced at Mo Ziyao, suddenly covered her face and cried, and said, "It has been raining these days, and the imperial concubine has suffered a cold. The imperial doctor has come to see it, and the medicine slave has also been fed. However, I still have a fever, but I can't go down.
Mo Ziyao turned her eyes and looked at Ruan Lingzheng, but saw him frown gently and stepped out. So he said, "Why don't you take the emperor up to see the princess?"
"..." Xiaoying showed a surprised look, hurriedly got up, raised his sleeves and wiped his tears, and ran forward to lead the way.
Ruan Lingzheng walked anxiously and quickly. Grandpa Jin beside him didn't know why, but he didn't dare to ask anything before he caught up with him. Mo Ziyao quickly caught up with him. When she came to Grandpa Jin, she said to him, "Go to the imperial hospital to find Dr. Zhong."
"This..." Grandpa Jin hesitated and turned his head to look at Ruan Lingzheng in front of him. He was about to ask, but he heard Ruan Lingzheng say in a low voice, "Go quickly!"
Grandpa Jin was stunned and nodded and retreated for a moment.
When she came to the low house where Princess Xi lived again, Mo Ziyao sighed in her heart. She knew how much shock the meeting between mother and son would bring to the whole harem in the near future.
Thinking of the past of Empress Dowager Xi and the Empress Dowager, I suddenly felt that sometimes kindness is also causing trouble for myself. Even if the empress dowager is fierce and decisive, she will not know what an unbearable price she brought to herself in the future because she was soft-hearted at that time.
Before, the reason why I didn't want Ruan Lingzheng to know that Princess Xi was still alive was that he thought about the consequences. It's not that I don't want mother and son to be reunited, but that this time is not suitable. I wanted to wait until everything stabilized and then make a long-term plan, but who could think of it, but Ruan Lingzheng saw Xiaoying and learned the existence of Princess Xi.
turned his head and looked at him, but he looked at the dilapidated and low house in front of him and clenched his fists, and his slightly red eyes were full of complexity.
Yes, no matter what misunderstanding there was before, after all, Princess Xi is the biological mother who gave birth to him, and her blood is thicker than water. The mother and son live in the same palace, but the situation is one heaven and one underground. It's really regrettable that they can't see each other.
"Your Majesty..." Mo Ziyao stepped forward, quietly held Ruan Lingzheng's hand, smiled at him and said, "Princess Xi has been waiting for you."
Ruan Lingzheng bowed his head, looked at her, took a deep breath, turned around, and strode towards the room.
Through the dark and wet hall and entering the inner room, I saw Princess Xi lying on **. On the table next to her, a candle was swaying, and the dark light reflected her face, which was so haggard and thin.
Perhaps due to the light, her face was abnormal flushed. She lay motionless and quietly, not even knowing that anyone had stepped forward.
Standing in front of the bed, Ruan Lingzheng's breathing was a little heavy, and his eyes never left the face of **. His hands began to tremble again, and Mo Ziyao could feel it. At this time, she said nothing, but stood quietly, accompanying him and feeling his mood.
Mother...
Ruan Lingzheng's lips moved, as if he wanted to call her, but in the end, all the words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't spit out a word. The biological mother who often appears in dreams actually lies quietly in front of her. He suddenly felt that there was no hatred or blame at this moment. No matter what reason she abandoned herself before, she is her mother after all. And she didn't live well first, and she no longer blamed her. I just want to stay with her for the rest of her life.
Mo Ziyao always felt that Princess Xi's face was not right, so she bent down and reached out to touch her forehead, and her heart sank. No wonder her face is flushed and so hot that she must have a high fever. And Xiaoying came to find herself in the middle of the night, so Princess Xi may not have just begun to burn. How long did it burn? She didn't know that Xiaoying really had no choice but to think of herself.
She sat down by her bed and whispered: "Princess, Princess..."
** people don't seem to hear her at all, and still haven't even moved their eyelids. Mo Ziyao thought for a moment and said tentatively, "The emperor is coming."
"Your Majesty..." Empress Dowager Xi muttered, finally opened her eyes, stood up, and asked, "Your Majesty, where is your Majesty?"
Mo Ziyao stretched out her hand to help her. She grabbed her hand, stared at her for a long time, and suddenly frowned and said, "Who are you?"
Mo Ziyao was stunned and asked herself who she was. But a few days ago, she was still holding her hand and talking to herself. It was about the dark light in the room, or she had just woken up and was not very awake. Unexpectedly, she didn't see the person standing behind her.
Mo Ziyao did not reply to her immediately, but smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if the imperial concubine doesn't know me. Look, who came to see you?" With that, he stood up and pulled Ruan Lingzheng in front of her.
"Mother...after..." Ruan Lingzheng choked and couldn't help calling again. He rushed up and grabbed the hand of Princess Xi.
"Ah, you... Zheng'er, you are my Zheng'er." Princess Xi's originally godless eyes suddenly burst into indescribable brilliance, and all her eyes focused on Ruan Lingzheng's upper body, which could no longer be separated.
"My Zheng'er, you finally came to see your mother!" She smiled happily, and the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes were folded together, smiling kindly. However, her hands grasped Ruan Lingzheng's hand tightly, as if she was afraid that as soon as she let go, she would disappear.
Ruan Lingzheng heard the words, squeezed his lips tightly, and couldn't say a word. Mo Ziyao saw that his wrists were already blue and red. She knew that the hidden force in Princess Xi's thin fingers hurt for a long time when she was scratched by her last time. Heartbroken, I really wanted to go forward and ask her to let go of her hand first, but I saw Ruan Lingzheng shaking his head gently. She had to stay where she was.
Princes Xi looked at him for a long time, suddenly reached out and stroked his face and whispered, "Zhen, my Zhenger, you have lost weight." The words were full of pity, but suddenly turned his head, looked at Mo Ziyao and scolded, "Didn't you take good care of the emperor on weekdays?" She questioned, her eyes widened slightly, but her body was still weak and her voice was a little trance.
Mo Ziyao naturally won't care about a sick person. Stand up to help her, pull the pillow over and put it on her back so that she can sit more comfortably.
The spirit of Princess Xi seems to be much better. I don't know whether it is because she has taken the medicine prescribed by Dr. Zhong or the reason why she saw Ruan Lingzheng. At this time, she can clearly distinguish people and speak in an orderly manner.
She talked to Ruan Lingzheng, and Mo Ziyao greeted the people who came in to quit so that their mother and son could be alone.
After sitting in the hall for a while, I heard the sound of someone coming in outside. Looking back, I saw that it was Grandpa Jin who came with Dr. Zhong. Dr. Zhong saw Mo Ziyao, saluted her, and went straight into the inner room. Xiaoying also came in from outside. She took a basin of water in her hand and ran in in a hurry, but soon came out again.
She came to Mo Ziyao and suddenly knelt down to her and said, "Your noble concubine Yao, you are the best in this harem. This time, I thank you for the princess!"
Mo Ziyao was a little stunned. In fact, she knew that she was not so kind. He said to her, "Get up first."
Xiao Ying thanked him and got up. Mo Ziyao took a look at the inner room and asked her, "I heard you say a few days ago that the imperial concubine's condition has improved. Now why is she infected with a cold and has a high fever?"
Xiaoying's face was a little pale, and she said for a long time, "Actually, the imperial concubine did not have a high fever because of the wind and cold, but because someone wanted to kill the imperial concubine."
Mo Ziyao's face changed, "What's going on?"
Xiaoying hesitated for a moment before he said.
"Today, the imperial concubine was in a good mood. I saw that she was not bad, so I took her out for a walk. Unexpectedly, when I walked to the pavilion of the unknown lake, the Qing'er girl came to face. Somehow, the imperial concubine suddenly rushed up and pulled her clothes and pushed her hard. At that time, the maidservant was scared and wanted to go forward to dissuade her, but she didn't expect Qinger to push the imperial concubine away. The imperial concubine couldn't help but fall into the lake.
Mo Ziyao frowned and asked, "Qing'er? Are you sure it's her? Why did she push the princess?
Hearing this, Xiaoying said forcely, "Yes, at that time, the maidservant was not far from the imperial concubine and I saw it with my own eyes. As for the reason, the maidservant didn't know. By the time the maidservant ran over, Miss Qing'er had already left.
Mo Ziyao asked again, "Does the emperor know about this?"
She shook her head, "No, the imperial doctor gave the imperial concubine a needle, and now she has fallen asleep. The maidservant brought water in, and then she was sent out. I haven't had time to say it yet."
Mo Ziyao thought for a moment and said, "You go down and rest first. I will tell the emperor about these things."
Xiaoying stretched out her neck and looked into the room and felt that she didn't have to guard it by herself tonight, so she said, "Yes." Get back.
