Chapter 2000 Loneliness in Old Age

After listening to his words, Yun Dai's eyes were filled with tears, and her vision was a little blurry.

"So, grandpa can't survive this time?"

"The old Marquis is already seventy, and the queen must be mentally prepared." Doctor Meng said tactfully.

"Stop talking, Lao Meng," Zhao Yuanjing saw Yun Dai's expression changing and hurriedly shouted to Doctor Meng, "You go out first."

Doctor Meng hurriedly bowed his head and exited.

Zhao Yuanjing supported Yun Dai and said, "Dai'er, don't get excited. You must take care of the child in your belly."

Yun Dai raised her tearful eyes and whispered: "No wonder I've been feeling uneasy lately. I thought it was related to Ji Wenyuan, but I didn't expect...my grandfather treated me so well. He was very ill and I had to go see him."

"I understand."

Zhao Yuanjing knew that Old Marquis was Yun Dai's most respected elder in the world.

And the old Marquis' love for Yun Dai exceeded that of all his other children and grandchildren.

Yun Dai put her hand on her belly and said: "It seems that this child will not be born for a while. Your Majesty, I want to see my grandfather first. If he really can't... and I can't be by his side, I I will never have peace of mind for the rest of my life.”

"Okay, I'll go with you."

Zhao Yuanjing personally sent her to the Hou Mansion.

In order to avoid riots, Yun Dai travels mostly in a low-key manner.

This time is no exception.

When the Hou family heard that she was coming, they were so frightened that their uncle and cousins ​​hurriedly came to meet her.

Aunt Tian helped her out of the carriage and said with a slight complaint: "You are about to give birth to a child. Why don't you come here... What if something goes wrong..."

"I'm with you, aunt, don't worry." Zhao Yuanjing came over afterwards.

When the emperor arrived, everyone was startled and hurriedly knelt down to salute.

Zhao Yuanjing raised his hand to stop: "At this time, you don't need to be polite. The Queen is here to visit the old Marquis."

Mentioning the old Marquis, Mrs. Tian's eyes turned red and she said, "Dai'er is a filial person, so you are coming here at this time... It's just that your grandfather has been saying that you are not allowed to come."

"Aunt, there's no need to talk about this. First, take me over to see my grandfather."

"good."

The emperor and the empress followed everyone in the Hou Mansion to the old Marquis's yard.

As I approached the house, I could smell the strong smell of medicine.

Yun Dai is in the third trimester of pregnancy, and the fetus is pressing against her stomach. She has a poor appetite and occasionally feels nauseous. Now that I smelled the medicine, I couldn't help but twitch.

Zhao Yuanjing was a little worried and looked at her frequently.

Yun Dai didn't care much and walked into the house.

The old man's house was decorated in a simple and simple way, with bows and arrows and weapons hung on the walls, and there was an unfinished game of chess on the chessboard.

Yun Dai saw it and couldn't help but feel a sore nose.

She always said she wanted to play chess with her grandfather, but she couldn't visit often.

Although the children and grandchildren are around, they all have their own things to do. The elderly will inevitably feel lonely alone, and sometimes they even play chess with themselves.

"Dai'er," Zhao Yuanjing called softly.

Yun Dai glanced at him.

There were tears in his eyes.

Zhao Yuanjing's heart twitched and hurt a little.

They walked softly into the house.

The first time she saw the old Marquis, Yun Dai almost shed tears.

After seeing him for only a few days, the old man had lost a lot of weight, his eyes were sunken, and his gray hair was a little messy.

He seems to be an old man in his twilight years.

This is completely different from his usual energetic appearance.

Yun Dai raised her hand to wipe away her tears, sat on the edge of the bed, held the old man's hand, and found that his hand was also cold.
