There is a black lotus in the deep palace

Chapter 368

Xia Houjue's words were secretive, and there was always no truth.

Tang Wanning had a long meal with several imperial physicians who threatened and lured her before she found out the truth. It turned out that so many years of hard work day and night had already emptied the high-spirited young emperor back then.

It turns out that he is also an ordinary person, not a god. It turns out that he is also an ordinary body of flesh and blood, not made of fine steel. It turns out that he will also get old, tired, and sick.

It's a pity that he has been buried in the imperial study for so many years, and has been hiding everything about himself so well that she didn't even notice it. Only at this time did she know.

After all, I was negligent, after all, I didn't care about him enough, after all, I put all my heart on the children, and he is also, although his heart is with me, it is more in the country, and more in the world. Among the common people of thousands of households.

The world is uncertain, even if he has an affair with his son and daughter, so what?What can they do.

"It's okay, don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Before the blood on his lips was wiped off, he hurriedly comforted him.

There was panic and fear in his eyes that he had never seen before. Was it because she was afraid that she would find out about his illness? Was it because she was sad and afraid?

This man, is he a fool?He has worked hard and worked hard for so many years, and he has never had a look of fear in Qianfan, but now he is so panicked, he...

"Why didn't you tell me earlier, what do you think of me?" She burst into tears.

"Where's the imperial physician? Where's the imperial physician, please hurry up, please hurry up."

……

After being kept under wraps by Xia Houjue for so long, Tang Wanning finally figured out her condition, but so what if she figured it out, everything is God's will after all.

But he didn't take it seriously, he said: "Wanwan, wait for me!"

He said: "Wanwan, I will definitely keep my promise, and I will definitely not let you down."

He added: "Wanwan, don't worry, I'm fine, I still want to watch Jingming get married and see her marry a good husband."

She believed it, and she had to believe it. In this few life and death partings, did she still care about so much?

She smiled and said, "Okay, there's nothing urgent, the children and I can wait." He was relieved, turned around and hurried away.

Looking at his busy appearance and tired figure, Tang Wanning felt sad in every way.

In fact, after so many years, the Great Xia Dynasty is no longer the fragmented country that it was at the beginning. It has long been prosperous, the country is rich and the people are strong, and the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong.

But Xia Houjue still always said, wait, wait a few more years, he must govern the Great Xia Dynasty to be stronger and richer, so that he can safely hand it over to his children.

He said that he had suffered too much in his life and could not let my children suffer in the same way.

He said that if he had exhausted his efforts all his life, his children would no longer need to exhaust their efforts, and everything in the Great Xia Dynasty would be on the right track.

He said, wait, wait, his descendants will never have to work as hard as him.

They don't have to be controlled by ministers or elders. They don't have to marry the daughters of those ministers to win power for the sake of national peace, and they don't have to be forced to send people to negotiate peace for the sake of stability.

Finally, they can marry the person they love the most, have their dearest children, and go where they want. They no longer have to compromise and balance all parties.

So good, so good!

A year passed in the blink of an eye. At the end of spring and the beginning of summer, Xia Houjue's condition really improved. His complexion was no longer as sallow as before, but the honey-colored luster of the past, and his eyes were no longer tired. , but restored the original piercing spirit.

Although he lost some weight, he finally regained his former vigor and spirit. He said that he had changed another imperial physician and drafted a new prescription.

Tang Waning didn't want to doubt, she just wanted to listen to him and believe in him, so she said with a smile: "Finally you didn't lie to me, and you must never lie to me again, you must give me a good life."

"Yes, my lord, I will never lie to you again, don't worry." Xia Houjue vowed.

In the end, he still lied to her.

Just after the new year, his health gradually deteriorated. He began to lose weight, became less and less energetic, and even became unconscious in the end. He fell asleep for seven or eight hours out of twelve hours a day. .

Even if she didn't understand, Tang Wanning should know that he had completely deceived herself. In fact, she didn't want to be deceived, but she couldn't be deceived after all.

"Xia Houjue, let's go back? Go back to the capital."

"No, Wanwan, if I don't go back, I'll stay here with you, every day counts, I..." He was a little out of breath.

"In this life, I have failed you after all, will you blame me?" He asked out of breath, his whole body was very sick, his face was frighteningly pale.

Tang Wanning burst into tears, but forced a smile: "Of course it's your fault, it's your fault for not marrying me sooner!"

Xia Houjue smiled gratifiedly. He wanted to reach out and touch her face, but he had no strength.

It's frightening that the high-spirited and decisive person back then could be so fragile after exhausting all his hard work and patience.

"Don't move around, it's really worrying." He said, but he grabbed his hand and put it on his face, and the two looked at each other speechlessly.

……

After all, Xia Houjue's life still stayed in the summer of Qinghe's 21st year, a season that was sometimes scorching hot and sometimes rainy.

Seeing him on the sickbed permanently closed his eyes and stopped breathing, Tang Wanning was stunned.

After waiting for a long time, she finally realized that this person had really left, that she would never open her eyes again, and never come back again.

There was no heartache that followed, but numbness, the numbness of the whole person as if struck by lightning, and it seemed to be emptied from head to toe.

Her joys and sorrows, her joys and sorrows, all seem to follow this person, which is really strange.

I wanted to cry but couldn't cry, I didn't even have any expression on my face, I just stood there, my whole body was numb and my face was ashen.

"Mother? Mother? What's wrong with you? Mother!" Xiahou Shanchuan added anxiety to his grief.

Tang Wanning smiled at him strangely.

"It's okay, I'm fine at all, really, I'm fine." She smiled like a puppet.

……

The emperor died, the funeral was heavy, and the whole country mourned.

As the birth mother of the new emperor, Tang Wanning was regarded as the empress dowager. When she led all the concubines and wives in the harem to kneel in front of the late emperor's spirit and weep bitterly, she felt like a dead tree walking.

Her joys and sorrows, her joys and sorrows, were all brought into the coffin with that person.

I never thought that in my life, I would fall in love with an emperor. How much love is there?Probably like the lovebirds flying that day, half of them died, and the other half couldn't live alone.

In the summer of the 21st year of Qinghe, Emperor Qinghe passed away. In the autumn of the same year, the empress dowager died in the imperial mausoleum. The new emperor was greatly saddened and ordered to be buried together.

The departure of a prosperous king is exchanged for the coming of the next prosperous age. There has never been an iteration of the country that can be so smooth and stable, and the whole country praises it.
