Zhu Yuanzhang did not leave, and all the princes and grandchildren were waiting in the front hall of the Ganqing Palace.

Everyone was waiting nervously.

As time passed by minute by minute, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart sank little by little. Usually, Li Qing's diagnosis and treatment took only half an hour. Now, an hour has passed, but he still has not come out.

When some concubines saw something was wrong, they quietly touched the ginger hidden in their sleeves and prepared to cry.

Two quarters of an hour later, Li Qing walked out with a tired look on his face.

Zhu Yuanzhang rushed forward quickly, held his hand, and said tremblingly: "What's wrong?"

"Fortunately, the Empress has woken up." Li Qing said tiredly, "Master, you go over alone."

"Okay." Zhu Yuanzhang let him go and walked in.

It was hard for everyone to follow, so they could only look at Li Qing.

After Li Qing came for so long, the prince and grandson still couldn't recognize him, let alone these concubines, so he had to bow and say, "The emperor is polite."

Zhu Yunwen got up and moved a chair for him, and said timidly: "Sit down and rest for a while!"

Li Qing was really exhausted, so he thanked him and sat on the chair to recover his true energy.

About a quarter of an hour later, Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma came together, and the princes were shocked, and the concubines looked even more complicated.

Queen Ma's face is rosy and her steps are steady. She is completely a normal person, and she doesn't have any trace of pathology.

For a moment, everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Li Qing.

Li Qing ignored the strange eyes of these people, slowly sat up from the chair, and saluted everyone.

"No gift." Queen Ma was in a very good mood. "Don't stay here, you should go there."

Everyone stood up slowly and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Go back." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Ringer, Yan'er, Yunwen, Yun's stay."

"My son (my concubine) sue him."

Seeing that everyone had left, Li Qing touched his nose and said, "I'm going to leave."

"You stay."

“…I obey the order.”

Queen Ma said, "Chengba, call Biaoer, Changning and Chang'an too!"

"Yeah, okay." Zhu Yuanzhang agreed and glanced at Xiao Guizi. The latter immediately understood it, bowed and retreated.

The palace maid brought melons and fruits and snacks, and the family sat down around the table, and Li Qing seemed out of place.

After a while, Zhu Biao rushed over. Most of the hour later, Princess Ningguo and Princess Anqing also arrived, and Li Qing was even more worried.

The one who died, but whenever he looked at him, he looked like he wanted to eat him.

Didn’t she say she was deprived of her title and demoted her to a commoner... Li Qing thought helplessly.

"It's been a long time since we got together like this." Queen Ma was very excited. Seeing him with a restrained look, she smiled, "No need to be polite, eat whatever you like."

"Oh, Empress Xie."

Li Qing nodded, reached out to pick up an orange, peeled it up, and automatically ignored a certain resentful woman.

Zhu Win and Zhu Che didn't talk much, An Qing's attention was all about Li Qing, almost all the eldest son Zhu Biao and the eldest daughter Changning was having fun.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw the few people looking uninterested, he felt angry and slapped the table with a 'bang', "Everyone is mute, right?"

"What are you doing?" Queen Ma gave him a blank look, "You're still angry after finally getting together."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled bitterly and slowed down his tone, "Okay, we won't get angry."

As he said that, he looked at the few people and sighed, "Your mother's life is only one day left."

"What?"

Zhu Biao was shocked, and the others were shocked. Even An Qing turned his gaze to Queen Ma, with an incredible look on her face.

"No one is immortal!" Queen Ma was very calm, "I am already very satisfied that I can live until now."

"Mother, you look pretty good, how could you..." Zhu Biao looked at Li Qing, "Li Qing, what's going on?"

"Biao'er." Queen Ma said, "If it weren't for him, I would have been buried long ago, and he had done his best."

"Mother..."

"Grandma, grandson, don't want you to die." Zhu Yunwen cried out.

As soon as he cried, the atmosphere became sad.

Even Zhu Ting, who had always been arrogant, had moist eyes, and the two princesses had pear blossoms and rain.

Empress Ma glared at Zhu Yuanzhang with annoyance, "It's all your fault, why do you have to tell me?"

Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to cry, but he finally held it back and said hoarsely: "Why are you crying? It's annoying."

"Okay, don't cry." Queen Ma joked, "Isn't I dead yet? I'll cry when I die if I cry, and I won't cry anymore, ah~"

The two princesses gradually stopped crying, but only Zhu Yunwen was still crying silently.

"This kid."

Queen Ma held him to her legs and pinched his nose, "Don't cry, give grandma a smile."

"Hiss...hehehe..."

Li Qing smashes his mouth and continues to eat oranges.

noon.

The imperial meal was particularly rich, with hundreds of dishes, a total of ten people, including two children. Although Li Qing was a big eater, he couldn't eat so much, not even one third of them.

Queen Ma said regretfully, "I have made too much and I can't eat it at all."

"We are the emperor, so it's not okay to be extravagant occasionally?" Zhu Yuanzhang pretended to be unhappy, "We still think we are too little."

"Look at how capable you are." Queen Ma curled her lips, "Don't let these go to the servants."

"Okay, listen to you."

After dinner, Queen Ma said, "Let's go out for a walk in the afternoon. Don't mobilize others, just put on ordinary clothes and walk around."

"Okay, listen to you."

...

On the streets of the capital, the Jinyiwei changed into the clothes of the people, carved sharp blades, and hid a strong crossbow in the crowd, secretly guarding Zhu Yuanzhang and his family in the middle.

Queen Ma bought a lot of things, including her son, daughter and grandson, and even Li Qing had a peace talisman.

Although it is a street stall, it has extraordinary meaning.

"Girl, don't you buy something for us?"

"What's the hurry? Don't I have to think about it?"

"Okay, we don't have to worry, think about it slowly." Zhu Yuanzhang said gently.

Queen Ma chose for a long time and finally chose a piece of wood for him. It was only twenty cents cheap. It was the cheapest gift for everyone, but Zhu Yuanzhang liked it very much.

After walking around for nearly two hours, I returned home after a happy mood.

When he returned to the bedroom, Queen Ma's energy declined sharply, which made Zhu Yuanzhang feel nervous.

"Girl, lie down and rest for a while."

"No, I have something to say." Queen Ma said, "Biao'er."

"My son is here." Zhu Biao took two steps forward and knelt in front of her.

Queen Ma stroked his head and smiled and said, "You have lost weight these days. You have to work and rest in the future and don't get tired of your body.

Your father is too strict. You don’t have to listen to him in everything. You must persist if you should persist.”

Zhu Biao nodded slightly, "I understand, I know."

"Tian'er."

"The son is here."

"You have been naughty since you were a child, and you will be more restrained from your personality in the future. Don't make trouble for your father or brother..."

"My son remember."

"Still."

...

Queen Ma explained one by one that she knew the temper and character of each child and made targeted instructions.

Li Qing saw it and was quite touched. Although it might not be useful, Queen Ma did the best kindness she could do.

She said a lot, and her complexion became worse. She consumed almost nothing in her body and was trembling when she spoke.

"Sister, stop talking." Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly supported her, "Let's lean in our arms and rest for a while."
