In order to see her daughter for the last time, the Empress Dowager has been lying on medicine these days, and there is a pungent smell of herbs in Shou'an Palace.

When the family of three arrived, Fanghua heard the cry of a woman from the inner hall from afar.

6 It is not convenient to go into the inner hall when sailing, so I stay outside, and the eunuch in charge of Shou'an Palace was greeted by Jiang Quan.

Even if he was not the son-in-law, this person was still the queen mother's son-in-law, and the servants of Shou'an Palace dared not disrespect him.

Fanghua took her son's little hand and headed straight to the inner hall.

When I entered, I saw several palace concubines kneeling in front of the phoenix couch.

Empress Su, Concubine Qi and Concubine Duan stood aside, all looking at the people on the bed with concern. When they saw their sister-in-law, they smiled politely because they were not easy to say hello to each other because they were a commoner.

Fanghua's gaze was frozen on her biological mother's slim face, and her nose was uncontrollably sour.

She still remembered that before she left Beijing, her biological mother was radiant and her spirit was not a problem even if she could not live forever.

Who would have expected that in just two years, she seemed to have worked hard, her head was white, and she had no vitality in her whole body. Her eye sockets were deeply trapped, her cheekbones were protruding, and her eyelids were drooping, which made her look a little difficult.

"Mother!" Fanghua stepped forward and knelt in front of the phoenix couch with a thud. She held the exposed hands of her biological mother in both hands, and could clearly feel the sudden blood vessels on the back of her biological mother's hand in the palm.

When the queen mother heard the sound, she thought it was hallucinations. She tried hard to open her eyes and saw clearly that it was indeed Fanghua who was kneeling in front of the couch. She was full of excitement and held her daughter's hand on her face. She opened her mouth but couldn't say a long sentence. All the emotions finally formed a tremolo, "Fanghua--".

"Mother, it's my daughter who is late."

Fanghua choked and barely made any sound.

"Good daughter, the Ai family finally hopes for you back."

"Mother……"

Some things must be thought until the moment of death, if you can do it again, the good, bad, impulsive, wrong, and unwilling to recall them, will all come to your mind in an instant.

She knelt in front of her biological mother's sickbed and burst into tears.

As a genuine sister-in-law, Empress Su cannot stand by and watch at this time.

She walked over and whispered, "Fanghua, don't be too sad."

Fanghua didn't look up, and after wiping away the tears, her voice calmed down, "Can the Queen take the others back first? I have a few words to say to my mother alone."

Queen Su nodded and did not persuade her anymore. She soon took Concubine Qi, Concubine Duan and several other concubines out of Shou'an Palace.

After everyone was almost gone, Fanghua pulled her son forward and smiled, "Mom, this is Yan Li, my first son of 6 Xingzhou."

After saying that, he said to the little guy, "Li'er, call me grandmother."

6 Yan Li was frightened by the empress dowager's skinny appearance at first, and took a step back. Seeing his mother's eyes, he didn't dare to move again. After swallowing his saliva, he shouted softly, "Grandma~"

The Queen Mother automatically ignored the details of his retreating because he was afraid of himself, and raised her hand to touch his head.

The mother and daughter are in love. Fanghua sees through what the biological mother wants to say but can't say. She smiles and says to her son, "Grandma tells you to listen to your mother's words in the future. Gentle, please promise your grandma, that you will be a good child in the future."

6 Yan Li looked at the Queen Mother without blinking and spit out three words, "Good boy~"

The old man understood it even though he couldn't say it completely, and he smiled with relief.

Afterwards, Fanghua asked Jiang Quan to bring in 6 boats.

6 Xingzhou looked at his mother-in-law who was about to die, sighed in his heart, and walked forward and knelt side by side with her youth.

When the Empress Dowager saw him, her original calmness disappeared and became excited again.

Fanghua was afraid that she would not be able to lift it up in one breath, so she hurriedly got up to support her biological mother's body, and reached out to gently give her a breath.

The Empress Dowager felt a little better when she leaned in her daughter's arms, and gradually she could speak, and was instructing Liu Xingzhou to "After the Ai family left, be loyal to the emperor."

Although I heard it a little puzzled, 6 Xingzhou still nodded, "Okay."

The empress dowager was satisfied, and then raised her arm and handed Fanghua's hand to his palm. The intention of entrusting it with her was obvious.

6 Xingzhou did not want the elderly to talk more and waste energy, and said bluntly, "Don't worry, mother-in-law, the son-in-law will take good care of the rest of her life."

The Queen Mother nodded, "I want to... I want to grow old together."

6 Xingzhou and Fanghua looked at each other, and the two nodded in agreement.

All the explanations should be made, but the empress dowager did not leave any regrets and said she was tired, so she asked the couple to go out first.

Fanghua heard what her biological mother meant, and immediately shed tears. When she walked to the door, she couldn't help but turn around.

"Mom--" Kneeled outside the threshold.

...

In the summer of the 134th year of the Great Chu Dynasty, Empress Dowager Renyi died on her birthday at the age of 60.

The death knives ring, and the whole country mourns.

There is a piece of white inside and outside the capital.

Fanghua was kneeling in front of the spirit in a filial piety uniform, her red and swollen eyes were empty and unconscious.

It was already past the time to cry. Seeing that she refused to leave, Concubine Duan slowly came over to persuade her and asked her to mourn her.

It would be fine if others didn’t persuade him, but once he persuaded him, his tears came.

Seeing her biological mother die with her own eyes, she was so afraid of birth, old age, sickness and death.

Concubine Duan said, "When the Empress Dowager was alive, she had fulfilled all her wishes. She died and left peacefully, and could barely be considered half a joyful delight. You have to pay more attention to this kind of thing."

As he said that, he reached out to help Fanghua.

Fanghua walked out of the mourning hall and saw Liu Xingzhou and his son standing on the veranda not far away.

Concubine Duan smiled, "Living talents are important, aren't they?"

Fanghua pursed her lips and said nothing, but her eyes slowly became wet when she looked at her husband and son.

Unintentionally disturbing the warm moment of the family of three, Concubine Duan left with tactful thoughts.

6 Xingzhou came forward with his son.

The little guy, who was completely unworried, shouted sweetly "Mother".

6 Xingzhou didn't say anything, but just took out a veil and gently wiped the corners of her eyes.

The silent comfort at this moment is easier to move people.

Fanghua's blocked mood was quickly relieved. She asked the man, "Have you ever taken Li'er to eat?"

"Just used it." 6.

"What about you?"

6 Xingzhou said, "Waiting for you."

Youth is a filial son. As usual, you should not eat or drink all day and kneel to guard the mourning hall at night.

However, Emperor Guangxi had long ordered that the old customs should be eliminated and that food should be allowed during mourning, but that it would not be eaten with meat.

Fanghua nodded, held his son's other little hand, and the family of three headed towards the dining hall.

I knew she was uncomfortable, and I didn't mention the Empress Dowager at the dinner table.

After dinner, Fanghua went to see Emperor Guangxi alone and asked him about the situation during the period before the Empress Dowager's death.

She always feels that her biological mother should not age so quickly.

Emperor Guangxi was angry. He blamed all the blame on the 6th old marquis. When he heard Fanghua ask, he was furious, "It was all the trouble caused by your father-in-law!"

Fanghua was puzzled, "Has the old marquis not entered the palace for more than 40 years? How could he cause trouble?"

Emperor Guangxi held the eunuch who retired from the palace and said in anger, "My mother left a picture of Mr. Liu's calligraphy in her hand. Somehow, she let Liu Feng know and asked to come to the palace.

I heard that on the day he entered the palace, his mother sent all the servants of Shou'an Palace out. Within more than half an hour, no one knew what they had talked about, and no one knew how the 6th Marquis convinced the queen. In short, he took the painting away in the end.

From that day on, my mother seemed to have changed. Not only did she not hate him, she also asked me to reward 6 families before her death, saying that the six families were full of loyalty and martyrs, enough to be awarded the first-class duke, and that I would be granted the title of Marquis of Wu'an as Duke of Zhongguo. She also said that if the country was in trouble in the future, the six families would stand up and return me to a prosperous era in Qingming Festival.

If the mother hadn’t been ill, how could she say such nonsense?”

Fanghua frowned, "Brother, didn't you ask carefully?"

"How do I ask in detail about the situation at that time?" Emperor Guangxi firmly believed that it was the sixth old marquis who interfered with it.

Fanghua felt something was strange, "The imperial physician said that her mother was not sick, and she died."

So, those words are not necessarily nonsense, they are most likely to be implying something.

Emperor Guangxi snorted coldly, "Can I lose 6 families and my dragon throne still can't sit firmly?"

"I don't mean that." Fanghua shook her head, "The old sayings say that people are about to die is good. I think that if a mother says such abnormal words before her death, she must have her reason and intention."

After a pause, she looked at Emperor Guangxi again, "My mother lived in hatred for most of her life and almost made up her mind to stay with that person. However, she left so peacefully, it only means that she did not leave any regrets during her lifetime.

In other words, the mother is likely to have reconciled with the 6th Marquis.

As for the way they "reconciled" is whether the 6th Old Marquis apologized to her personally, or whether there was any misunderstanding between them that finally resolved, I am afraid that they can only ask the person involved."
