Chapter 1671 (1/2)
A year ago.
Li Dynasty, Imperial Palace, Yongning hall.
”Cough... Cough...”
The sound of uncomfortable cough came faintly. Two palace maids were carrying boiled medicine into the bedroom hall. The whole hall was filled with a faint smell of medicine.
”Cough...” the cough behind the bed curtain added a few more.
”Madam, the medicine is ready.” The leader is the palace maid, said Xiang Ning softly.
A pair of slender hands stretched out from behind the bed curtain and opened a corner of the bed curtain.
One of the maids hurried forward and lifted all the curtains of the bed. Suddenly, she saw a beautiful woman lying on the bed.
She has a beautiful face, because she is depressed and ill, her face is pale, and a touch of sadness can be seen between her eyebrows. However, even so, she is still beautiful and moving. When her eyes blink slightly, she is full of emotion, which makes people see and feel pity.
Xiangning came forward, helped her up, scooped the medicinal spoon and fed it into her mouth.
The thick black medicine juice flowed into her throat. She paused slightly and said, ”today's medicine is not as bitter as it was a few days ago. It's better to taste.”
Her voice was like the whispering of a nightingale“ The imperial concubine and maidservant said to the imperial doctor that the medicine is too bitter. You will suffer for a long time every time you drink it. The imperial doctor added a little herb that does not affect the medicine's properties, and the taste will slow down. ” Xiangning has served her for more than ten years
The Grand Palace lady always handles affairs properly.
Liu Guifei nodded, frowned and drank a bowl of medicine.
One side of the palace maid immediately brought a small box of sweet dark plum cut into small pieces. Xiangning took a small piece with a silver fork and sent it to Princess Liu's mouth, saying, ”madam, eat some sweet dark plum and go to the astringency in her mouth.”
Liu Guifei shut her mouth and ate the black plum. The cough symptoms were relieved at last.
”Any news?” She asked what was most on her mind“ Back to his mother, the servant went to ask Lord Wei about it. The man who went to look for the third prince has arrived in Qizhou. I heard that he found some clues, but he said he would ask her to wait until the news is more certain,
I'll report it again. ” Said Xiangning.
After hearing this, a glimmer of hope finally appeared in Liu Guifei's originally dim eyes. ”In the past, Lord Wei always said to ask the palace to continue to wait. This is the first time to say that there is a clue, Xiangning. This time, there may be real hope.”
”Over the years, the empress has been fasting and chanting Buddhism for the third prince. The third prince has his own heaven. She will be able to return to her and reunite with her.” Xiangning hurriedly comforted.
A sad feeling surged into Liu Guifei's heart, and her eyes were filled with a trace of pity“ At that time, he was only one year old. Our palace took him to pray for blessings. On the way back, we met a group of people in disguise from Dazhou who assassinated our palace. The assassination failed and took away the emperor's son... Now twelve years have passed, and the emperor is also 13 years old. In the past twelve years, our palace has not been at ease. We miss him all the time. Have pity on my emperor's son, who used to be golden, I don't know where I've been and how much I've suffered. As long as I think about it, I'll have trouble sleeping and eating. I'm in pain
It's all my fault. I didn't protect the emperor. ” Liu Guifei said, already secretly weeping, and her heart was sour“ Mother, God is watching your feelings for the third prince. He will certainly live up to her mother's love and will send the third prince back to her. There is also the emperor. Although the third prince has been lost, the emperor has been doting on her all these years
