Chapter 90: Dying

Fu was bedridden. At first, she was just hot and weak. After about ten days, she coughed harder and fiercely. The imperial doctors settled directly in the inner courtyard and asked the palace servants about her condition day and night.

One evening, she still coughed constantly. The palace maid wiped her face with a hot towel. Mu Shanggong anxiously advised: "Empress holds up a little cough, how can she stand such a cough?"

With a "wow", Fu suddenly spat out. When he opened his eyes, the faces of the people around him changed drastically. The palace maid took the towel and hid behind him. Fu took out his teeth and said, "Show me!" The palace maid did not dare to resist the order, so he took out the towel carefully. He saw a piece of bright red blood stain on it. Fu fainted when he saw it.

Not long after, Chai Rong came to the inner courtyard again and questioned the imperial doctors. At this time, Fu woke up quietly. She did not open her eyes and heard Chai Rong scolding the imperial doctors on duty outside.

At this time, an imperial doctor was anxious and blurted out: "Emperor, the empress's pulse is just weak. This is not a disease, it is a fate! When the energy is coming, we can only cure the disease. How can we save it?"

When Fu heard this, she felt even more frustrated. In a trance, she remembered a Taoist from Mayi who came up from her mansion many years ago. When she looked at her face, she said that her chin was not well born and her fate was destined to be a bad end... She meant she would not die well?

Thinking of this, she felt very sad. She was usually very optimistic, but at this moment she felt that the world was dark, and an inexplicable fear surged into her heart, making people unable to breathe. She shouted hard: "The official family... the official family saved me..." but her voice was very small.

At this time, the voice of Mu Shang Palace said, "The official family has just left."

Fu coughed weakly and asked, "Does the official family want to go to Shouzhou? When will he leave? I want to see him and ask someone to call the official family."

Mu Shanggong wiped his tears and choked and said, "I will call Cao Tai immediately and ask him to go out and find the official's house to come back."

"Yeah." Fu exhaled, staring at the top of the cover, "I'll wait for him."

After a while, Fu stretched out his hand from the quilt again. Mu Shanggong, who had just picked up the gauze curtain, stepped forward and grabbed her hand. Fu's face was pale and haggard, and she lost all the usual calm and dignified temperament. She was indeed very pitiful. She asked quietly: "Am I going to die?"

Mu Shanggong hurriedly said, "No, the Empress will live a hundred years old. If the disease is cured, it will be fine!"

"Don't lie to me...I know I'm going to die..." Fu's voice was intermittent, faint and sad, "The imperial doctor in Tokyo is the most exquisite in medical skills...but I don't want to die, I don't want to die..."

Mu Shanggong said: "Isn't you good enough to speak? Don't think about it in the wrong way."

Fu was not going to die yet, but she felt that she was going to die. She felt sad and was better than in the previous few days. At least she didn't sleep all day long. She said again: "Even if I am the queen, I did nothing. If I die, people will soon forget me...I want to meet the official family, and I tell him... to help me up and dress me up."

Of course, Mu Shanggong and others did not listen. The queen's current situation was just nonsense.

After a while, she was so tired that she slept in a daze. At this time, the eunuch Cao Tai bent over and came in. Seeing that the queen was asleep, she didn't disturb her and knelt straight in front of the bed.

Fu was not sleeping heavily and woke up after a while. She opened her eyes and saw Cao Tai kneeling there, and said in surprise: "I'm not dead yet, why are you doing kneeling?" After a moment, she seemed to remember what she called Cao Tai to do, so she asked: "Have you seen the official family?"

Cao Tai said carefully: "If you go back to the queen, I will see you. The official family will set out to Shouzhou tomorrow. I don't know if he will come tonight..."

The old eunuch had gray hair, slightly pointed face, white and thin skin, but not many wrinkles, a thin figure, and did not look like a man. At this time, he looked serious, with two vertical lines between his eyebrows, as if he was thinking about something, and was struggling to think about something. At this time, he raised his head and waved his head to look at Mu Shang Palace. Mu Shang Palace was so familiar with these actions that he hurriedly called the palace maids who were serving him and retreated quickly.

If Cao Tai wanted to whisper about the official family to the queen, she wouldn't even want to ask Mu Shanggong to listen to her. I don't know that it would be the best choice.

Cao Tai looked back and saw that there was no one outside the curtain, and then he spoke: "I don't know whether I should say something or not."

Fu Shi said quietly: "I'll say it."

Cao Tai pondered for a moment, but it was not easy to tell her not to say it in front of the queen. Such words were not something he, a eunuch, should have said in front of the queen, so he had to hint: "They are all out, and the slave said it..."

He paused and continued, "I walked to the front yard hall, and there were guards standing outside, and there were several ministers inside. The door was open, and I was just at the door and wanted to hear what the officials and ministers said. If it was nothing, I planned to ask for a meeting. Then I heard Wei Renpu say... If the queen dies, there will be no funeral. Because the battle of the army attacking Huainan has just begun, it is unlucky to hold funerals in the army."

Fu stared at her eyes and said anxiously: "They also think I'm going to die?"

Cao Tai said: "There is an imperial doctor who can't speak, and he said something he shouldn't say! The official believes in the imperial doctor's diagnosis, so he thought that the empress... The empress does not have to worry. When the illness is cured, he will cure the imperial doctor's crime. The servant has already recorded his name!"

Fu coughed for a while and asked again, "What else did they say?"

Cao Tai's voice was even lower: "The official said that King Wei still had a daughter and was preparing to renew the second daughter of King Wei. The Fu family's favor remained unabated... However, the Empress mentioned that you would like to promise your sister to the Hujie Army's envoy Guo Shao. He also made great contributions in Qin Feng and it won't take long to build a festival... I'm afraid that this matter can only be given up, and he can only break his trust in Guo Shao. Of course, I dare not bring this matter in front of the official."

Fu was angry and sad: "I'm not dead yet! Why did you think of marrying my sister?"

Cao Taimo didn't say anything nice. He felt that telling the queen truthfully was because of the grace of understanding, and he was willing to pay the price that might anger Long Yan... If it weren't for the fact that he was really looking towards the queen, if it was just to benefit from the effect, to put it bluntly, the money fell and the tree scattered, what could the queen rely on her if she died? Why bother to say these words?

However, the official family said nothing wrong. If he was willing to revive the second sister of Fu, it would be considered a favor to the Fu family. For the Fu family, it was no difference whether the big fu was in the court or the second sister of Fu was at all.

Fu choked and said, "I'm dead, no one of you is really sad? Cao Tai, are you ready to serve my sister?"

Cao Taimo said nothing. If the queen really dies and he still has to survive, of course he has to surrender to the new master of the harem. However, he has worked so much for the queen and finally gains trust, the master is gone all out in an instant. How can he not feel uncomfortable? Moreover, Queen Fu treats him well and feels grateful, and it must be unpleasant.

"Guo Shao... Brother Shao is here to save me!" Fu suddenly murmured.
