Wishful Things

"Well, I see you."

Xu Mingyi sat down, lowered his voice and said: "But I see, the Empress Dowager's body is quite strong and healthy... and her temperament is not like a person who is prone to depression and anger, but she is optimistic and open-minded."

Although there are many diseases in this world where the root cause cannot be found, people with temperament like the Empress Dowager are often not easy to suffer from those so-called emergencies.

But in her last life, she remembered that the empress dowager died suddenly during this sacrifice.

According to the outside world, it seems that the grief caused by the memory of the former emperor triggered an emergency in the already weak body.

That's why she came here this time.

This matter is exactly the "dream" she and Wu Chao talked about.

"In this way, the empress dowager's claim of being ill all these years is probably an excuse." Wu Chao said thoughtfully.

Xu Mingyi nodded.

King Yan was not in the capital, but he was always feared by the emperor. As the birth mother of King Yan, the Empress Dowager seldom appeared in front of people, but she asked about political affairs and harem affairs, probably to avoid trouble, because once the trouble happened, it would definitely involve King Yan.

It is indeed wise to do so.

"Right now, I'm a little worried..." Xu Mingyi thought about it and said, "I'm worried that what the eldest princess experienced before will happen to the empress dowager."

The eldest princess was assassinated by the face, if there were no accidents in the middle, the result could only be "triggered emergency and died".

Although she can't think of anyone who would use this method to deal with the queen mother at the moment—

Wu Chao had heard her talk about the involvement behind the assassination of Princess Jingrong before, and knew that it was the emperor's handwriting. Hearing what she said now, he nodded and said, "The empress dowager seldom goes out of the palace. If someone takes it seriously It is indeed an opportunity to take advantage of if you want to do it.”

"Yes, even if it's just suspicious, it's better to be more prepared."

"I will secretly remind the prince to make the empress dowager pay more attention to her diet and the people around her."

Xu Mingyi nodded: "This time I have prepared a lot of medicines for various emergencies, and I also brought the medical books that Miracle Doctor Qiu gave me earlier, so I can read them when I have time, just in case I need them."

Although the occurrence of some diseases cannot be prevented by manpower, she will do her best.

Looking at the girl who was taking this matter very seriously because of a dream, Wu Chao couldn't help saying warmly: "Zhao Zhao, thank you."

"There's nothing to be thankful for, it's just a reasonable thing."

Indeed, the empress dowager's accident may have been the last straw that made King Yan make up his mind to rebel in the previous life.

And she really hoped that the dog emperor would be taken down from that position as soon as possible.

If she can really save the queen mother this time, it may change the original track of some things.

But even so, she still felt that there was no need to choose and consider all of this.

Taking a ten-thousand-step back, the overall situation of the world is already in front of us, and this little effort cannot be said to be a great choice——

And it can even be simply regarded as - Wu Chao is the person she likes, even if it's just love for Wu, she will try her best to save his own grandmother.

In particular, this old man has been treated as a hostage in Beijing all these years. He has never been reunited with his children and grandchildren, but he is still tenacious and optimistic, which is pitiful and respectable. Such elders really shouldn't leave this world without knowing why.

In her eyes, such a person is very worthy.

Just like Wu Chao.

In the dream she had, she lost all her family members, and so did Wu Chao—before the Wu family lost control of the overall situation, it was King Dingnan's decision to burn down a century-old family for the great cause of King Yan.

Even if King Yan did sit in that position in the end, is such a painful price really worth it?

She thought, if Wu Chao had a choice, the path he wanted to take would definitely not be this one.

Therefore, she is very sure that every step she takes now, no matter what the result is, at least she will not have any regrets.

Thinking about this, and looking at the young man in front of her, Xu Mingyi only felt that even though the road ahead was difficult, she didn't have to be afraid. Her heart was filled with these real and warm ties in the world, and she was also extremely stable——

"Wu Chao."

"Um?"

Xu Mingyi said softly, "Close your eyes—"

Wu Chao suffocated for breath.

Close your eyes... what to do?

"Shut up." Xu Mingyi urged.

The boy immediately did so this time, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but slightly raised.

After waiting patiently for a while, he noticed that something cool touched his lips.

But based on feeling, it seems that it is not what he imagined...

"Open your mouth."

The girl's tone is commanding and gentle.

Wu Chao opened his mouth obediently, and a piece of caramel was stuffed into his mouth.

After tasting what it was, the young man gave up his heart.

... Sure enough, he was dreaming again, right?

When he opened his eyes, he saw the girl's sweet smiling face.

"It was given to me by the empress dowager, is it sweet?" she asked.

It was drizzling outside the pavilion, looking into her eyes, Wu Chao nodded slowly: "Sweet."

- very sweet.

Tianmu heard the words and flew from the stone bench to the stone table, and stretched his neck to get between the two of them, with a gesture of "give me a taste of anything".

Wu Chao glanced dissatisfiedly at the big bird that spoiled the scenery.

Xu Mingyi wiped the icing on the big bird's long beak with the icing on his fingers, and laughed happily.

Seeing her smiling so happily, the young man who was standing with his hands behind his back raised his lips to show a smile.

...

The rain stopped at midnight, and the next morning, in the clear sky, a group of people and carriages slowly left the post house.

Stopping and stopping like this, and resting at night, I arrived at Lingshan in the afternoon of the third day.

There are temples and palaces built around the Lingshan imperial mausoleum. At this time, the car stopped outside the palace. Xu Mingyi and Shi Shi helped Princess Yufeng off the carriage.

The palace here is half hidden at the foot of the mountain, surrounded by dense forests and cypresses, quiet and solemn.

After Emperor Qingming got off the carriage, he went to the palace accompanied by several princes and princes and other officials.

Among a group of brocade robes, the gray robe that accompanied Emperor Qingming was particularly conspicuous.

Xu Mingyi glanced at Imperial Master Xuanqing, then subconsciously searched around Emperor Qingming for a while, but Zhan Yunzhu was not there.

After a closer look, it was only at the last row of officials that he saw the face that showed hypocrisy all the time.

Xu Mingyi's eyes moved slightly.

Although it is calculated according to the grade, there is nothing wrong with Zhanyunzhu following at the end——

But as we all know, this person is especially valued by the emperor these days, and he is often accompanied by Shengjia.

It's not that common now.

Therefore, the previous plan still has some effect.

But at this time, Zhan Yunzhu slowed down a little in his line of sight, turned his head, and looked in a certain direction.

Xu Mingyi turned his face slightly, and followed his gaze to look over.
