Chapter 1718 Just This Year

On the other hand, it was because the queen mother was the fourth grandfather's mother.

For a while, although Fourth Master hadn't spoken, she knew that he was not feeling well, so she offered to treat the Queen Mother.

However, it was diagnosed that the queen mother had many diseases, including high blood pressure, bone and joint diseases, and gout.

The most serious is kidney failure.

As for other minor illnesses, Ruoyin might be able to cure them.

But kidney failure requires a kidney replacement and dialysis.

In this technologically underdeveloped Qing Dynasty, she alone cannot cure a person with kidney failure.

Although she has good medical skills, she can't study high technology, and she can't guarantee that she can cure anyone and any disease.

Medicine is not magic, she cannot cure the dying.

At this moment, the Queen Mother's hands were dry and dull.

She gently held Ruoyin back with all her strength, and said: "Aijia used to misunderstand the emperor, and even had prejudice against you. I... didn't understand until you helped me solve the misunderstanding and confusion." , you are a good daughter-in-law."

But after saying a few words, the queen mother was a little out of breath.

After taking a few breaths, the old man continued: "You are a good person, and you will be blessed..."

"..." Ruoyin listened to the Queen Mother's words quietly, and did not respond to these, but asked softly, "Mother Huang, the Fourteen couple are outside, do you want to see them?"

Queen Mother: "Call them in..."

So Ruoyin and fourth master went out.

When the Fourteenth Master saw Ruoyin and Fourth Master, he asked, "Brother Huang, what's wrong with Empress Empress?"

"..." Fourth Master's expression was dark.

Ruoyin shook his head, and said, "Emperor Niang let you in, you will know when you go in and take a look."

After the fourteenth master heard this, he immediately brought Wanyan in.

Ruoyin and fourth master stood on the steps of the yard for a while.

Fourth master looked up at the sky, then walked out of the courtyard, Ruoyin followed, and the two were about to leave in a chariot.

But she and Fourth Master had just walked out of the courtyard, and before they got on the chariot, they heard an exclamation from inside the room: "The Empress! The Empress! The Empress..."

After the exclamation, there was the cry of the Fourteenth Master in grief.

That voice was like a cry from the depths of the soul, spreading from the house to the outside of the courtyard, and even hovering over the entire Taimiao, tinged with a layer of sadness, making it uncomfortable to hear.

Fourth Master originally planned to leave in a chariot, but when he heard Fourteenth Master's cry, he turned around and went back to the yard with great strides.

Ruoyin also followed into the queen mother's bedroom again.

As soon as he entered the room, apart from the pungent herbal smell, he could see the fourteenth master and his wife kneeling beside the queen mother's bed.

Wanyan knelt on the side and wept tremblingly.

Fourteenth Master was lying on the bedside, crying heartbreakingly.

The queen mother on the bed closed her eyes tightly and remained motionless.

Seeing this scene, Ruoyin understood in an instant, and knelt down in front of the queen mother's bed with fourth master.

At this time, the imperial doctor also entered the house from the outside to check the situation for the queen mother.

Finally, the imperial doctor knelt in the room and mourned, "The Empress Dowager has lost her breath."

Yes, the Queen Mother is dead! ! !

The empress dowager, who had been confused all her life, became a sensible person at the end.

Although Ruoyin was at odds with the queen mother, but the queen mother passed away, and the huge royal family seemed to be missing something.

On that day, the national mourning bell rang in the Forbidden City.

In the ninth year of Yongzheng, on March 16, the Empress Dowager Wu Yashi died.

After the Queen Mother died, the mourning hall was set up in the Taimiao.

For a time, the whole Qing Dynasty was mourning for the Empress Dowager, and the entire Forbidden City and Taimiao were full of voices of chanting and condolences.

Even the temples and palaces in the capital need to ring the bells 30,000 times.

Princes, nobles, and members of the royal family all rushed to the capital, all in uniform.

On April 13th, the empress dowager's coffin had been stored in the Taimiao for a full 27 days before being transferred to the funeral palace.

The funeral palace here refers to the place where the coffin is temporarily parked.

The place where the coffin is temporarily parked is the Ningshou Palace where the Empress Dowager lived before her death.

As for the burial, we have to wait for the Queen Mother's mausoleum to be built.

Under normal circumstances, when ordinary members of the royal family die, they are buried directly in the imperial mausoleum.

However, when important members of the royal family passed away, the burial should not be sloppy, and relevant personnel must specially select and build the tomb.

Therefore, the empress dowager's coffin was temporarily parked in Ningshou Palace, and could not be buried until the mausoleum was completed.

On this day, Ruoyin and all members of the royal family knelt outside Ningshou Palace.

Brother and El knelt beside her.

The fourth master knelt haggardly beside the coffin in the hall, and the national master Zhang Jia led a group of lamas to kneel there and chant scriptures.

During the period, when Ruoyin looked up, he saw Zhang Jia Guoshi looking at her with strange eyes.

After about a stick of incense, Su Peisheng suddenly walked up to Ruoyin and said in a low voice, "Empress, Master Zhang Jia invites you to the side hall to talk about something."

Ruoyin raised her eyebrows slightly, and followed Su Peisheng to the side hall.

After entering the room, I saw fourth master wearing off-white clothes sitting on the armchair in the room with a solemn expression.

Master Zhang Jia was sitting next to fourth master. When he saw Ruoyin coming in, he got up and put his hands together.

Ruoyin put his hands together before taking a seat in the room.

After she sat down, all the servants in the house were dismissed.

This Zhang Jia Guoshi suddenly talked to Ruoyin, and he was mysterious and dignified, which made Ruoyin nervous, a little overwhelmed and apprehensive.

After all the slaves left, Master Zhang Jia said, "Your Majesty, after the Empress Dowager passed away, when I was trying to determine the good and bad luck, I found that there was a catastrophe falling to Yongshou Palace. And according to our divination, the catastrophe was traced to you alone. .”

"Catastrophe?" Ruoyin frowned, his expression became serious, "Then is there a way to break it?"

No wonder Zhang Jia Guoshi and Fourth Master looked solemn when she came in, so it was because of this.

Master Zhang Jia shook his head and said helplessly: "Calamity is a hurdle, and calamity is divided into three types: small catastrophe, medium catastrophe, and major catastrophe. Small catastrophe can be resolved, medium catastrophe is difficult to resolve, and major catastrophe has no solution."

"And according to our divination, the catastrophe you are going to experience is a catastrophe with no solution. If you can pass that hurdle, you will have a smooth life and a healthy family in this life."

"What if we can't make it through?" Ruoyin twirled the bracelet in his hand uneasily.

Zhangjia Guoshi replied heavily: "If you can't get over that hurdle, at least your family will be destroyed, and your life will be gloomy. At worst...you will die!"

Hearing this, Ruoyin trembled.

As far as the result Zhang Jia said, it doesn't matter whether it is light or heavy, in her opinion, it is very serious.

If someone else told her that, she would definitely think that the other party was a charlatan, or wanted to ruin her reputation.

But the other party is Zhangjia Guoshi, who is the great national teacher who has conferred the empowerment of universal kindness and great compassion, so there is no need for her to lie to her.

And if the other party wanted to ruin her reputation, they would have made it public long ago, but they told her quietly in private, just to remind her.

Ruoyin held his lips, and couldn't help asking: "Master, I want to ask, do you know when this disaster will happen?"

"Just this year." Zhang Jia Guoshi replied.

Hearing this, Ruoyin was shocked.

It's April now, so there are only about eight months left in this year.

However, at this time, Zhang Jia Guoshi added another sentence, "And it happened in the first half of the year."
