When the Queen arrived, it was already half an hour later.

Looking at her wearing gorgeous clothes and applying makeup and powder, she obviously looked dressed up.

Lu Sheige knelt down in front of the bed. The moment he raised his head and looked over, his heart ached.

This woman was also happy because of her husband's call, and happily dressed up to see her husband.

If she knew...

Lu Sheige didn't dare to think about it. She couldn't empathize with her, but she could also guess the queen's powerlessness and despair after knowing the truth.

They are all poor people. If we can support them together, they will be fine through the ups and downs in the future.

If not...

Thinking of Eunuch Cheng's words, Lu Xiang shuddered.

She just wanted to protect her nephews and nieces when they grew up, but she didn't want to become their mother-killing enemy. She asked herself that she couldn't be so cruel.

"Smooth?"

Gongsun Wanying stood hesitantly in the distance and looked over, "Is Your Majesty asleep?"

Has she been dressed up for too long, so His Majesty is impatient to wait.

At this time, Gongsun Wanying felt a little regretful.

Could it be that when His Majesty summoned her, she was lingering until now because of what makeup, clothes and hairpin she had to wear.

"Your Majesty has been asleep for a while."

Lu Sheige stood up slowly, her legs that had been kneeling for a long time felt numb, making her freeze for a moment.

When the queen saw Pingshun getting up but not coming over for a long time, she couldn't help but frown slightly.

Could it be that, as rumored, the emperor is peaceful...

Lu Xiangge couldn't move for a while, so he could only wave to the queen: "Empress, come here, your majesty will probably wake up soon."

As a young eunuch, it was indeed inappropriate for her to do this.

The queen approached suspiciously, lowered her head and looked at the pale emperor on the bed, all thoughts were thrown out of the sky.

The last time I saw the emperor was the New Year. Why is the emperor even thinner and paler now than he was a few days ago?

The emperor at this moment, in her eyes, seemed to be as angry as a gossamer. If he was not careful, he would... just...

Gongsun Wanying didn't dare to think about it. She leaned closer and called softly: "Your Majesty."

Seeing that the emperor was motionless, Gongsun Wanying was so surprised that she couldn't help but stretched out her hand and gently pushed the emperor, "Your Majesty, wake up, I am Wanying."

Lu Hebei slowly opened his eyes and looked at the woman in front of him.

She is his queen!

Looking at Gongsun Wanying with exquisite makeup, the emperor seemed to have seen the moment when she took off her hijab at the wedding.

His bride was so beautiful that he couldn't take his eyes away for a while.

"His Majesty."

Gongsun Wanying knelt down, leaned closer and asked, "But what's wrong with you? Why are you sleeping at this hour?"

Lu Hebei raised his hand and landed on Gongsun Wanying's temples, brushed the hair and said softly: "Wanying, why do you have gray hair?"

One sentence made Gongsun Wanying burst into tears.

How could she have gray hair? This year, she was pregnant and gave birth to a daughter, and had to deal with all kinds of heartache and suffering. How could she not have gray hair?

Lu Hebei gently wiped away the tears on Gongsun Wanying's face and said softly: "Don't cry, crying won't look good."

Lu Sheige slowly stepped back, leaving space for the couple.

The sound of two people chattering could be heard inside, and Lu Sheige walked to the window and stood still.

The sky outside is a little dark. I don't know if it's because of my mood, or if the weather has really changed.

Lu Sheige felt the chill!

It's already February, and the weather is getting warmer and warmer. It's about to be the day when all the flowers bloom and everything revives, but the second brother's health is getting worse and worse.

Thinking of his second brother's sleepy state just now, Lu Xiangge felt his heart congested and uncomfortable.

If she could replace him, she would rather accompany her parents instead of her second brother, so that the second brother could spend more time with his wife and children.

"Princess."

Eunuch Cheng walked in quietly and said in a low voice, "Thank you, old doctor, for coming."

Lu Xiangge's gaze fell outside the window without looking back and said, "Let Dr. Xie wait a little longer."

Eunuch Cheng's eyes briefly glanced at the collapse of the dragon, then he withdrew his gaze and slowly backed away.

Inside, you can still vaguely hear the voices of the emperor and empress talking.

Lu Sheige wanted to leave, but was afraid that the emperor would come to her for trouble, so she could only lean on the window and wait quietly.

The light outside the window became darker and darker, and soon the wind started blowing.

When Lu Sheige was about to close the window, he heard the little eunuch outside exclaimed: "It's snowing again."

The sound was very small, and it was only a faint shadow when it reached here.

Lu Sheige stopped closing the window and stuck his head out to take a look.

Sure enough, there were big snowflakes falling in the sky, fluttering when the wind blew.

It's snowing again. I don't know if the snow will be heavy this time or when it will fall.

Those people who have just escaped from the snowstorm will feel desperate when faced with another heavy snowfall.

During this period, the most discussed issue in the court was the impact of last winter's snowstorm.

The state capitals began to open warehouses to release grain on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, and the garrisons in various places also helped the affected people build temporary shelters. Most people successfully survived this cold winter.

Originally everything was slowly getting better, but who knew it would snow again.

Lu Xiangge looked at the falling snow outside the window and could only sigh deeply. She had done everything she had to do. Now she could only pray to God to spare the poor people so that they could wait in peace until the spring came and the flowers bloomed, and they would have time to spend time on earth.

Plant a year's worth of hope.

"Song."

Gongsun Wanying came over and looked at the little eunuch standing by the window in surprise, her eyes full of doubts, "Are you Lu Shege?"

Lu Sheige looked away and nodded towards Gongsun Wanying: "Well, I am, sister-in-law."

It seems that the second brother told his sister-in-law that she has been pretending to be a little eunuch and has not left the palace.

I just don’t know how much the second brother said.

I don’t know if my sister-in-law will agree to her second brother asking her to do the emperor’s work if something happens to her in the future.

"you……"

Gongsun Wanying had a lump in her throat. She stepped forward and grabbed Lu Xiangge's arm. It took her a long time to speak, "Thank you, thank you Xiangge. I never knew that I... I still..."

I also complained to you in my heart, thinking that you were unkind and unrighteous. The Queen Mother and the Emperor were so kind to you. The Emperor was seriously ill, but you came back and took one look before leaving.

Who would have known that for the past six months, it has been you who has been protecting the emperor and our mother-in-law.

Lu Xiangge supported Gongsun Wanying with one hand and wiped her tears with a handkerchief: "Sister-in-law, don't cry, brother is calling us."

When the emperor called them, Gongsun Wanying hurriedly took the handkerchief and wiped the tears on her face. She didn't care whether her makeup was on or not, she just held Lu Shengge's hand and went to see the emperor together.

Lu Hebei was probably tired from talking to the queen, and his body was extremely exhausted.

He fell into a drowsy sleep, tried to open his eyes again, looked at the two women in front of him, and murmured.

Lu Sheige knelt down and heard his voice clearly: "Sheige, I entrusted your sister-in-law and two children to you. My second brother is sorry for you."

A tear slipped silently from the corner of Lu Hebei's eyes and fell into the soft pillow beneath him.

The snow outside the window suddenly stopped, and even the wind slowed down.
