Beijing.

The first snow arrived as promised, and it was dense and concentrated. It fell for two full days and two nights, and the entire palace was covered in white snow.

As soon as it got dark, the lights of each palace were lit one by one, as bright as day.

Only the middle palace was not lit, and the whole palace was swallowed by darkness in the snowstorm.

Empress Meng Zhiyan had been ill for two days and two nights.

Last night, a palace official lit up the lamp, but Meng Zhiyan struggled to stop it.

After one night, she was so sick that she couldn't get out of bed, and at dusk she had a high fever and talked nonsense.

Concubine Shao dressed up, stepped on the snow, followed by a group of palace people holding medicines and lanterns, and came to the central palace step by step.

I heard that the empress is seriously ill, so as a concubine, she naturally has to serve the empress with soup and medicine.

When he came to the entrance of the central palace, he was stopped by Sai Xue, the big palace maid next to the queen.

"As a concubine, it is my duty to serve soup and medicine to the queen, how dare you stop me." Concubine Shao frowned and scolded Sai Xue.

Why don't you come to greet the queen on weekdays, but the queen is sick.

Come on, come on, and dress up beautifully.

Who doesn't know what's on your mind, I'm afraid that when the Queen sees you, not only will it not get better, but it will even make things worse.

Of course, Sai Xue could only complain in her heart. As a servant, she could only respectfully say to Concubine Shao with a smile all over her face: "Thank you for your trouble, but the Queen's Majesty ordered that no one should come close to serve her."

Concubine Shao frowned when she heard this, and said in a loud voice: "You are the servant of the empress, you should have the duty of persuasion, the empress is so sick, you not only do not persuade, but add fuel to the flames."

"The empress is just sick, she is not confused, she doesn't need to be persuaded by her servants." Sai Xue said neither soft nor hard.

"You..." Concubine Shao was at a loss for words.

"The empress is very sick now, it must be you slaves who used her words to try to murder the middle palace." Mian Si, the maid next to Concubine Shao, took Concubine Shao's words.

"Yes."

Concubine Shao was about to break into the palace with the palace people around her while talking, but Sai Xue and other palace people in the middle palace stopped her, and there was a mess in front of the middle palace gate.

Attracted the surrounding Guards.

"What's going on here?"

Accompanied by a majestic voice, a group of people stepped on the snow with lanterns.

The bright yellow color in the front is very dazzling under the palace lantern.

The palace people knelt down one after another.

"Your majesty!" Concubine Shao was astonished, and then ran to the emperor's side coquettishly.

"How did you get to the Queen's Palace so well?" the emperor asked, his dark eyes couldn't see any emotion in the snowy night.

"The concubine heard that my sister fell ill, so I came here to serve the decoction." Concubine Shao said, the two oriental pearls on her head reflected the color of snow, shining brightly.

"The noble concubine has been busy with the affairs of the harem all day, and I feel very distressed, so I don't have to come and serve the queen with decoction." The emperor said.

Concubine Shao was very disappointed.

She purposely put the Dongzhu rewarded by the emperor on her head, just to let the queen see with her own eyes how much the emperor doted on her, and to add fuel to her illness.

For such a good palace, it would be best to find a more suitable owner.

The queen didn't go out every day, and she finally seized the opportunity to add trouble to the queen, so she didn't step into the gate of the palace, very upset.

"Why, you don't want to?" The emperor stroked the snow on Concubine Shao's head, and said with a smile, "You see that you are covered in snow, and you should have a headache again when you turn around."

Concubine Shao finally saw a hint of distress in the emperor's eyes.

"... Send the noble concubine back to the palace, go to the storeroom and bring the white fox fur that General Meng gave to me to the noble concubine." The emperor ordered the palace people around him.

Concubine Shao was overjoyed in her heart, the emperor really loved her dearly.

Knowing that she couldn't stand the cold, and would get a headache whenever she did, she even rewarded herself with General Meng's white fox fur, which was a slap in the face to Meng Zhiyan.

The emperor came to see Meng Zhiyan just because of the face of her in the middle palace, if it wasn't for the need for General Meng in the border war, he probably wouldn't bother to save face.

Meng Zhiyan is so smart, she must be able to understand this layer.

The emperor's visit to her was more stimulating to her than seeing her himself.

Concubine Shao gratefully thanked her and left.

The emperor walked into the queen's bedroom.

There was only one lamp in the huge dormitory, and the whole dormitory was very dark, accompanied by the cold wind outside, it became more desolate.

The queen slept quietly on the bed, as if she would never wake up.

Zhang Yangjing, who followed the emperor, took the queen's pulse, observed the queen's face, sighed in his heart and asked the palace servants to decoct the medicine.

"Your Majesty, whether the Empress can wake up depends on tonight..." Zhang Yangjing said in a deep voice.

The emperor didn't say that he could be buried with the Tai Hospital, but just nodded.

The palace man brought the medicine, the emperor opened the queen's mouth and fed it spoon by spoon.

The palace people who watched were terrified.

After finishing all this, the emperor drove away all the palace people, and sat alone beside Meng Zhiyan's bed.

The leak hit her ears bit by bit, and the queen lay quietly on the bed, without any sign of waking up.

"Meng Zhiyan, are you intentionally taking revenge on me, right? Let me tell you, I am more cautious than you. If you die, your son will not even want to come back from Huai City." The emperor punched the tent hook, and the rattling sound of the hook was extremely ear-piercing.

The queen didn't respond.

The emperor forgot that the empress would not even look at him even if she was awake, let alone talk to him.

Ever since her daughter died, the queen has completely ignored him.

The day before yesterday, the temperature dropped suddenly, and the queen asked the palace servants to send him a message, saying that she felt that she would not survive this winter, and if she died, he asked him to burn her and put her in a box, and asked her brother to take her to the border and scatter her in the snow.

He was heartbroken.

They grew up together on the frontier, and he was the one who brought her from the frontier to the palace.

That bright young girl galloping her horse in the snowstorm on the border, in this deep palace, smiled less and less, and became more and more estranged from him as she got older, watching him Li Guifei have other children, until her daughter died young and completely broke with him.

She would rather die on the border than share a hole with him.

Through the dim candlelight, the emperor saw the little tiger and wind chimes beside the queen's pillow.

Knowing that she misses Huaicheng's son and misses her daughter who died young.

There was a sharp pain in my heart.

Their Huaicheng son Ah Zhen, after eating the hot pot, stepped on the snow and walked into the yard of the Bai family. His heart ached for no reason, and he staggered and almost slipped.

"Brother Ah Zhen, be careful not to slip." Xiao Fuyuan held him back.

Facing the wind and snow, Ah Zhen rested her forehead on Xiao Fuyuan's body, and murmured, "I heard that the capital city is especially cold this winter. How is my mother's illness? I miss my mother!"

Xiao Fuyuan patted Ah Zhen's head like an adult, and comforted: "Your mother will be fine, she will be fine!"

The snow outside continued to drift.

It was Yin time, and the queen still hadn't woken up.

The emperor stared at the queen on the bed with eyes wide open.

"If you don't wake up, your son has been in Huaicheng all his life, don't even think about coming back, and your brother doesn't even think about coming back from the border. You want to leave me and go back to the border, don't even think about it!"
