Empress Xiande walked in the night. As the wind blew, the wine she drank seemed to be forced to spill out. The temporary dizziness disappeared in an instant, and she became awake again.
She held onto the railing by the pond and sighed tiredly.
She knew that the words she said today were in a fit of pique. But she was extremely afraid of how long Emperor Yongle had left to live. She wanted to avoid that result. She didn't want to see, she didn't want to hear, she stubbornly blocked her ears. But Emperor Yongle always brought it up and made her face things she didn't want to face.
Even dirt had some of its nature, let alone a person.
Aunt Tao said, "Niangniang, it's cold outside, let's go back first."
Empress Xiande shook her head. She wore a string of prayer beads on her wrist. She had gotten them for Emperor Yongle in the temple. Every night, she would recite the prayer beads and copy scriptures, praying that the heavens would pity the people and let a miracle happen.
Each of the prayer beads had been polished until they were smooth. It was clear that Empress Xiande had worn them for many years. She looked at the moon in the sky. The moon was very round. Not long after this battle, it would be a year. The moon was full and waning in a year. Everything had a good ending. She was about to receive her merit, but she just couldn't control herself and did some things that were out of control.
She felt a bit disgusted with herself. She turned her head and wanted to walk forward. Suddenly, he heard a crackling sound. He looked down and saw that the string of Buddhist beads in his hand had broken. The Buddhist beads scattered from the broken string and fell to the ground, making a crisp sound as they hit the ground.
Why did the prayer beads break for no reason?
"Aunt Tao …" Empress Xiande murmured. A wave of uneasiness suddenly rose in her heart. It was as if someone had grabbed her heart and she couldn't breathe for a moment.
"Niangniang!" Aunt Tao jumped in fright and quickly came to support her. Empress Xiande waved her hand and squatted down in a panic. She said, "Quick, help me pick it up …"
As soon as Aunt Tao squatted down, she saw the little eunuch who had been following Eunuch Deng running over in a hurry. He said with a panicked expression, "Your Highness, His Majesty is not well. Please go and take a look!"
Empress Xian De had just picked up a prayer bead that had fallen. Hearing this, her hand couldn't help but let go. The prayer bead spun on the ground and fell into the pond. It didn't even make a splash on the surface of the water. With a "pop", it sank into the water and disappeared.
…
In Yangxin Palace Hall, the eunuchs and palace maids outside were all kneeling on the ground.
Eunuch Deng stood in the corner of the room with his head bowed. He looked very sad.
When Empress Xiande entered, Gao Zhan had just come out. Seeing her, he shook his head.
Empress Xiande staggered. Fortunately, she was holding onto Tao Gugu's hand, so she didn't fall.
After a while, she said, "All of you can leave."
Emperor Yongle waved his hand as well.
Everyone in the room retreated.
Empress Xiande stepped forward.
She walked very slowly, as if she was resisting an ending that she didn't want to believe. But she had to go forward. When she walked in, she half-knelt in front of the bed and looked at the person on the bed.
Emperor Yongle also looked at her. After a while, he smiled and said, "That's good. Before I leave, I finally drank the snow wine you brewed."
"Xingzhi …" Empress Xiande looked at him with tears in her eyes.
She said "Xingzhi", Emperor Yongle's character, not "Your Majesty". That was when she was still a young girl. Empress Xiao liked her and said Xie Chi's character to her. Empress Xiande liked Xie Chi's character and felt that this person was very upright.
