This winter day in the 20th year of Xicheng seemed particularly cold. Before the twelfth lunar month, several heavy snow had already fallen. Although it was cold in previous years, the snow was far less dense than it is now. It seemed to be indicating something coming, heavy snow was better than one, and I wish I could dye the entire imperial city white.

The branches of the plum forest in the Imperial Garden have long been covered with fragrant winter plums, layer by layer like falling snow. At first glance, there is only a thick and boundless snow.

The palace wall stood quietly in the snow, with heavy red contrasting with the gray sky, making people feel depressed for no reason. Just looking at this scene, I couldn't even speak a word.

Eunuch Cao hunched his back and walked through the plum forest step by step, heading towards Emperor Chengzhen. From a distance, he vaguely saw the figure standing beside Emperor Chengzhen. The lilac clothes were not even added with a thicker cloak. How could he not feel cold when standing in the snowy forest?

Jade Concubine.

Eunuch Cao secretly recited the name in his heart, and immediately felt that his courage seemed to be even more strong.

However, from the beginning, his courage was always sufficient. If he didn't even have this courage, how could he climb to his current position and gain a place in the hearts of a suspicious person like Emperor Chengzhen? What he lacks now is just a better opportunity.

Greed, he knew how outrageous and terrible his greed was, and how much it might kill him, but he still wanted to give it a try. The man was right, the opportunity was fleeting, and if he didn't reach out to grab it now, he might never see such an opportunity again.

Of course, he never thought of revealing even a trace of this matter to Concubine Yu.

He had been in the palace for many years and had watched many years of pickled things. Every night he tossed and turned, fearing that he had to continue facing the things he was unwilling to face when he woke up. But after reading it for a long time, he gradually lost his memory. It seemed that after reading it, it would not take long to completely forget it. Since then, he even felt that he had begun to enjoy this kind of life slowly.

As long as he lives, it is enough. And as long as he wants, he can live better.

Now, all he lacks is just a person - a person he has longed for for a long time but cannot deserve it. However, what they are right is that there is no worthy in this world? Staying in this deep palace, I have to share a man with so many women. What is there to be nostalgic for such a day?

He doesn't care!

He only knew that as long as he succeeded, he would soon have what he wanted! While his heart was ups and downs, the steps under his feet were not confused at all, and there was no flaw on his face.

"Babao, look how good the snow fell." Emperor Chengzhen happened to turn his head and immediately spoke when he saw him.

Eunuch Cao sighed secretly, bowed to greet the emperor, and praised with a smile, "The emperor is wise, as the saying goes, auspicious snow indicates a good harvest, which is an excellent omen. But the snow this year is very heavy, and the blessings given by heaven are probably too heavy, and the world may be unbearable. The emperor should be prepared earlier."

"Haha, Babao, Babao, I just like you. No matter what, you never just say flattering words in front of me." Emperor Chengzhen smiled very happily, but suddenly lowered his head and coughed heavily.

The people who were waiting on the side immediately became nervous, but saw Emperor Chengzhen just coughing, but waved his hand and refused to let them get closer.

He is indeed sick.

Others don’t know it, but Eunuch Cao knows it clearly.

The emperor was sick and was very ill. From the beginning of the prince, one by one, no matter whether he liked it or not, he was still his son after all. How could he really not care at all? No matter how cold his temperament was, his heart was still touched. It’s a pity that even Emperor Chengzhen never revealed some things.

As Eunuch Cao thought, he curled his lips slightly, and it was fleeting.

After so many years, the only person who called him Babao and who could call him Babao was the only person named Emperor Chengzhen. But it is obvious that this honor was so difficult.

"Your Majesty, it's cold outside, you still..." The Yu Concubine, who was accompanying Emperor Chengzhen, supported him and said worriedly.

Eunuch Cao lowered his head and listened, his heart trembling slightly. Concubine Yu's voice was a little bit timid, and the tone was clear like a girl. He heard it in his ears with a touching touch. He didn't dare to look up because he knew that as soon as he looked up at Concubine Yu, he would definitely see her always gentle eyes, which made people intoxicated to themselves. So he could only lower his head, cover his eyes, and dare not move.

However, Emperor Chengzhen coughed, holding Yu Fei's hand with his back. After coughing for a while, he finally stopped coughing and sighed: "My beloved dressed very thin today. If he catches a cold, it will be bad."

Since the death of the seventh prince, Yufei's low-key life seems to have changed a little.

Emperor Chengzhen occasionally brought Yufei with him, and went to the imperial garden to enjoy the snow and plum blossoms like this. The rest of the time was almost spent on Concubine Pei, and the young women in the palace, who were as beautiful as flowers were ignored.

"But it's really a little cold, go back." Emperor Chengzhen looked at Concubine Yu smiled and said.

Eunuch Cao's heart moved and whispered: "Emperor, someone from Yuanxi Palace came this morning and said that His Highness the Princess had not eaten for a long time."

"Oh?" Emperor Chengzhen's face was as usual, but his brows couldn't help but frowned, and then ordered, "Then go to Yuanxi Palace, I'll go see the princess. Concubine Yu goes back first."

Eunuch Cao smiled in his heart and sang: "Prepare the Yuanxi Palace!"

The group of people rushed towards Yuanxi Palace again.

As Eunuch Cao walked, he secretly calculated the time in his heart, striving to be no better.

After turning a corner, a group of people appeared in front of me. In the cold weather, they were all wearing thick cloaks and cloaks, holding a small copper stove in their hands, and sat in the pavilion to enjoy the snow. Just as they walked out of the imperial garden, snow began to fall from the sky again. At this moment, the snow was getting bigger and thin, and pieces were like goose feathers.

"Who is there?" Emperor Chengzhen asked half-squinted his eyes and through the screen made of snowflakes.

Eunuch Cao had good eyesight and had already seen those people clearly. He heard this and bowed and smiled and replied: "It's the Empress and the Imperial Concubine."

After hearing this, Emperor Chengzhen couldn't help laughing and said slowly: "Since that's the case, there is no need to disturb them to appreciate the snow. Just go to Yuanxi Palace."

After this delay, the queen had already seen Emperor Chengzhen and his group and immediately came over. Emperor Chengzhen waved his hand, "No need to be busy, you can just appreciate your snow."

The queen saw him for a limited number of times, and she didn't see him just by wanting to see him. When she heard such words, she felt that Emperor Chengzhen was unhappy to see him and was unwilling to talk to him. She became depressed at the moment. However, in front of Emperor Chengzhen, she could not show any displeasure, so she could only pull the corner of her mouth and smiled and sent Emperor Chengzhen away.

After the group disappeared from sight, the queen could no longer hold back the smile on her face. She turned to look at Concubine Pei and said with a weird look: "Are you happy?"

Concubine Pei pretended to be frightened, but she had a smile in her eyes that made the queen angry, "I can't understand the Queen's words."

However, whether she really didn't understand or not, the queen naturally knew in her heart. She almost wanted to bite the teeth in her mouth, and finally held the hatred in her heart. Concubine Pei saw it clearly, so she simply put away the fear on her face and said to the queen directly: "If the empress doesn't like me, why would she invite me to appreciate the snow today?"

The queen looked at her coldly and squeezed out a sentence from her teeth: "As the lord of the harem, I should have a good relationship with you."

Such words are simply nonsense! Concubine Pei sneered at this, but finally maintained the demeanor he should have and did not laugh directly at the queen.

She just pulled the corners of her mouth slightly, and then returned to the pavilion and looked at the snow seriously.

The queen tightened the small warmer in her sleeves, squeezed out a smile and picked up the steps and went to the pavilion. The two of them seemed to have nothing happened, and they watched the snow again, occasionally saying a few gossips to each other.

And Emperor Chengzhen naturally couldn't see these.

Before he could reach Yuanxi Palace, he received news that Princess Liuzhu was in a coma.

When Emperor Chengzhen heard this, he was anxious and frowned. He rushed to Yuanxi Palace. However, before he could see Princess Liuzhu, he met the imperial physician coming out from inside with a look of panic. When he ran into him, he immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, the princess is dead!"

"What nonsense?" Emperor Chengzhen shouted loudly. How could a good person say he was gone? Besides, the news he heard the moment before was clearly just in a coma, so how could he lose his life immediately?

He absolutely could not believe such a thing!

Princess Liuzhu has never been willing to marry, and it is probably because she is having a quarrel with him this time, or just trying to avoid marriage. Emperor Chengzhen thought about this, and kicked the imperial physician, and said in a cold voice: "If the princess dies, you can just wait to die!"

At the center of the kick, the imperial physician in his fifties was kicked so hard that he couldn't even speak. However, Emperor Chengzhen had already said that if Princess Liu Zhu died, he would have to beg for mercy and said, "Your Majesty, when I arrived, Your Highness was already exhausted!"

Emperor Chengzhen felt angry when he heard this, and he covered his mouth and coughed heavily. He grabbed the doctor's left shoulder with his other hand and almost half dragged the person inside. He said intermittently in a hoarse voice: "Go... go and treat the princess! No matter what disease it is, I... treat it for me!"
