Queen Xiaozhuang's personal maid: Su Malagu

Chapter 60 The Guardian in Life

(1)

The Qing Dynasty was in its heyday.Kangxi is outstanding, and there is nothing for Bumbutai and Su Moer to worry about. What Su Moer has to do is to walk and chat with Bumbutai, and live a leisurely life.

Lu Qingyi, who no longer holds any position in the palace, lives alone in that house, and is occasionally called into the palace by Bumbutai to meet and chat with Su Moer.Sometimes, Su Mo'er would also go to the small house outside the palace to help Lu Qingyi cook meals and wash clothes.

The days go by like this day by day, and the three of them are also getting old day by day in the years.Until one night, after Su Mo'er woke up from her sleep, she was upset and uneasy.She was afraid that something was wrong with Bumbutai, so she went to Bumbutai's room late at night and found that she was sleeping peacefully.

Su Mo'er felt relieved and went back to the room, but couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

"Is he okay?" Su Mo'er murmured, thinking of Lu Qingyi, her heart became more and more flustered.

"He's going to be fine." After thinking about it, Su Mo'er hurriedly comforted herself: "He's going to be fine, he's in such good health."

Even though she was thinking this way, she still couldn't fall asleep, so she simply got up, sat in the yard outside the house, looked at the sky and prayed in her heart, praying for the three people that God cared about most: Bumbutai, Lu Qingyi and Kangxi All the best, safe and sound.

At dawn, Su Mo'er went to Bumbutai's room and waited for her to get up as usual.Seeing her gloomy face, Bumbutai asked her if she hadn't slept well.

Su Mo'er smiled and said, "I'm flustered and can't sleep."

Bumbutai let out an "oh" and said slowly, "Let Master Lu come over today, the three of us have a chat, he hasn't come for a few days, right?"

Su Mo'er was not embarrassed this time, she nodded and said, "I haven't heard from him for more than ten days."

In the past, whether Su Moer went to see Lu Qingyi, or Lu Qingyi came to see Su Moer in the palace, they would always contact each other every six or seven days.Even if we can't meet each other, there will be letters, the purpose is very simple, that is to tell the other party: I am fine!

For more than ten days, Bumbutai had a cold and cough, Su Mo'er was always nervous and anxious, and never thought of contacting Lu Qingyi.

"Little Sanzi!" Bumbutai shouted.

The third son hurried in.

"Go and call Lord Lu over, and say that Aijia wants to talk to him." Bumbutai said.

The third son agreed, and was about to go out when Bumbutai said, "Tell him to come over right away!"

The third son ran out.Bumbutai said with apology: "It's hard for you too. Because of me, you can't be together, it's a sin!"

"Your Majesty, don't say that, even slaves can't do without you." Su Mo'er's eyes were red as she spoke.For some reason, she wanted to cry, and there was unspeakable sadness in her heart.

Bumbutai held her hand, and the two sat close to each other.In the past year, they often sat like this, silently not speaking, feeling the warmth from the temperature of each other's hands.

At this time, they have completely forgotten the difference between master and slave. They are two old women who keep each other warm.

Time passed by minute by minute, Lu Qingyi didn't come, and the third son didn't come back either, Su Mo'er became anxious.Her anxious mood was captured by Bumbutai.

"Don't worry, Lord Lu must be thinking of bringing us something delicious." Bumbutai said with a smile.

When Lu Qing came here, he always brought them some snacks that were not available in the palace.

"When you see him, you can rest assured." After Su Mo'er finished speaking, she still frowned.On this day, she was extremely depressed.

There were hurried footsteps outside the house, and Bumbutai and Su Moer pricked up their ears at the same time. What they hoped to hear were the footsteps of two people, one clear and one heavy.The crisp ones must belong to Xiao Sanzi, and the heavy ones must belong to Lu Qingyi.However, they didn't hear the familiar heavy footsteps, what they heard was a burst of chaotic footsteps, besides that of the third son, there was also the sound of the girl's small steps.

Su Mo'er stood up from her chair and rushed to the door.

"Master Lu is gone." The third son said out of breath.

Su Mo'er's eyes went dark, she didn't know anything...

Lu Qingyi's departure seemed to take away half of Su Mo'er's soul. She suddenly aged a lot, and her originally flexible body seemed to have become dull.She began to suffer from insomnia all night long. She didn't dream, but she always dreamed that Lu Qingyi walked up to her slowly, smiled, didn't say a word, and then disappeared.

Su Moer's heart was full of guilt towards Lu Qingyi.This man who loved her and she loved him, after waiting for her for more than 30 years, unexpectedly left without saying a word.

Lu Qingyi didn't leave a word.The third son went to look for him, but couldn't knock on the door, so he looked in through the window and found him lying there motionless. He broke open the door and went in to find out that he had passed away.

When Lu Qingyi left, no one could tell, anyway, his body was cold.

"It would be great if I could go see him sooner. I'm sorry for him." Su Mo'er repeated these words in the days after Lu Qingyi's death.

Seeing Su Mo'er's mentally exhausted and sullen face, Bumbutai regretted it very much.

"Blame me! When Emperor Kangxi was in charge, I should let you go and live with him. But I was afraid that I would be lonely when you left, so I said something that made you reluctant to leave me. I always feel that he Your health is very good, when I'm gone, you still have days, but I didn't expect..."

Bumbutai couldn't go on talking.

"Your Majesty, no! No! Blame the servant! Blame the servant, the servant... You shouldn't make him wait, you shouldn't give him hope, you should keep him waiting for decades, let him wait for a lifetime. He really waited all his life, After waiting for a servant all his life... If he didn't wait for the servant and had a woman to take care of him, he wouldn't...not so early..."

Su Mo'er's heart hurt like a knife, and she couldn't speak clearly.

"Oh, this is fate! It can't be stopped. He lives and dies for you, this is his fate!" After Bumbutai finished speaking, he thought of himself and Dorgon, whether it was for love or politics How many purposes?Sometimes Bumbutai can't even figure it out himself.

"You two love each other purely, isn't it enviable?" After Bumbutai finished speaking, he was also immersed in his own memories.

If Dorgon is not a prince, she is not a concubine, queen, or queen mother. If they are ordinary people, will they be like Lu Qingyi and Su Mo'er?Bumbutai didn't know.

Lu Qingyi's death left Bumbutai and Su Mo'er immersed in grief, regret and memories for a long time, but at the same time, they became more dependent on each other.

In December 1687, because of a cold, Bumbutai couldn't be cured for a long time, and even became more and more serious, and was in critical condition in an instant.

Su Mo'er was terrified, and stayed around day and night, serving her, and even prayed to God to let God take her away and give her life to Bumbutai.But Bumbutai's condition could not get better. When she was dying, even though the emperor, queen, princes and grandchildren gathered around, she let Su Mo'er sit by her bed and held Su Mo'er tightly. Mo'er's hand.

"Gege, Aijia... Aijia is... going away."

"Your Majesty! You won't leave, you will get better!" Su Mo'er was crying, saying things she couldn't believe.

Bumbutai smiled sadly, and said with difficulty: "Aijia's illness... Aijia knows."

"Your Majesty, the servant will accompany you! Wherever you go, the servant will go! The servant will always guard you." Su Mo'er smiled with tears in her eyes.She has already made a decision, if Bumbutai leaves, she will go to be buried with him.She had the idea of ​​being buried with Lu Qingyi after Lu Qing died, but she couldn't bear Bumbutai.Now that Bumbutai is leaving too, she has nothing else to worry about.

Bumbutai shook his head: "Gege..." she called.

Su Mo'er looked at her.

"Promise me." Bumbutai completely ignored the royal family beside her, and she said in the tone when only she and Su Mo'er were together: "You must promise me, you will watch the Qing Dynasty for me Jiang Shan, you have to watch over the emperor for me, you can’t leave! Promise me!”

Bumbutai squeezed these few words out of his mouth with great difficulty, and then stared at Su Mo'er with anticipation in his eyes.

Su Mo'er was stunned.

"Ma'am!" she called.

"Promise me!" Bumbutai still stared at Su Mo'er.

Su Mo'er closed her eyes, and after a long, long time, she nodded emphatically.

"Your Majesty! The maidservant promises Your Majesty!"

"Don't... want to... say... slave... maid!" Bumbutai said word by word.

Su Mo'er nodded "Mm, Mm", unable to say a word.

Bumbutai's eyes lit up, and then a smile appeared on his face.She looked at the emperor kneeling next to her, and said softly, "Your Majesty, treat her well!"

Kangxi said repeatedly: "Don't worry, the Empress Dowager, she will always be my Ernie (mother)."

"It's our mother (grandma)." Emperor Kangxi's princes and daughters said in unison.

Bumbutai smiled with satisfaction.She looked at everyone around her, and finally her eyes fell on Su Mo'er: "I'll go first!"

As soon as the voice fell, he slowly closed his eyes...

This day is April 1687, 1.

Bumbutai finished her extraordinary life and passed away peacefully at the age of 75.Su Mo'er was distraught, and wanted to follow her several times, but she gave up because of the promise she made to Bumbutai at the end.

The death of his grandmother made Kangxi very sad. He could only express his infinite love, admiration, remembrance and remembrance by giving his grandmother a posthumous title. Queen Wen".
