CHAPTER XXXII

After the ceremony, Liu De was about to set off to go back to Zhending. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoBefore he said goodbye to Liu Xiu, he met Guo Shengtong in private, and I don't know if he was pregnant, Liu De saw that Guo Shengtong was much rounder than before, and his complexion was also good. Seeing this, he was finally relieved. He said to Guo Shengtong: "I will go back soon." I don't know when I will see you again. That's all I can do for you. ”

Guo Shengtong looked at Liu De, and he couldn't tell what it was like for a while. Listening to what Liu De said, thinking of his kindness to himself in the past, Guo Shengtong couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, she said: "You have done enough for me, I owe you, and I can't repay you in this life." ”

Liu Dewan said: "Everything I have done for you is not for you, I just wish you well." ”

Guo Shengtong's eyes suddenly filled with tears, thinking that Liu De had not married a wife now, she said: "Forget me, marry a good wife and live." ”

Liu De nodded to Guo Shengtong. After hesitating for a moment, he asked Guo Shengtong: "If my father didn't make the decision to promise you to Your Majesty, would you ever think of marrying me?" ”

Guo Shengtong didn't think about it, so he nodded to Liu De and said: "I thought about harmonizing with you, and in the future, the children will be in groups, and then grow old together, and see the prosperity of this world, but I never thought that it would be like this now." "That's what she really said. For her in the past, Liu De was a rare sincere person, and she was a cousin who grew up with childhood sweethearts, except for her uncle's discordant factors, others could be her good sons-in-law. At that time, she had the favor of her uncle Liu Yang, and Liu De's sincerity, she thought that as long as she was willing, her marriage with Liu De was a natural and natural thing, even if she had no love for Liu De, it did not prevent her from working hand in hand with Liu De for a lifetime.

After listening to Guo Shengtong's answer, Liu De felt satisfied. It's just that at this time, he knows that even if he is reluctant, he will have to leave. Before parting, he only said to Guo Shengtong: "Take care of everything in the future." Beware of Yin. ”

Guo Shengtong bowed slightly to Liu De and was silent. Looking at Liu De's figure gradually drifting away, Guo Shengtong's tears fell silently. She can make many people like her, but it is difficult to have someone like Liu De who holds her in the palm of his hand.

When the matter was established, Yuyang sent a letter to Luoyang, informing Liu Xiu: Deng Long, who went to Youzhou to rescue Zhu Fu, was defeated and retreated to Jicheng, and after Peng Pet won a complete victory, he then accepted the county guard, and the soldiers and horses of the two counties rebelled against the imperial court, and their arrogance became more and more arrogant.

Liu Xiu was very unhappy about this, thinking of his current situation in the palace, he didn't want to endure it anymore under his nose, watching the pregnant Yin Lihua go to Changqiu Palace every day to ask Guo Shengtong for peace, he felt heartache for this, and was also very angry about Guo Shengtong's inconsiderateness, but more often hated his powerlessness. All this made him want to escape from Luoyang. Therefore, he decided to conquer in person, considering the emptiness of Kyoto, the young prince Liu Qiang and the prince Situ Fuzhan, it was difficult to defend it, and after thinking about it, Liu Xiu sent an envoy to recruit Li Tong, who was guarding Jingzhou.

Li Tong and Liu Xiu discussed raising troops in Wancheng to help him achieve great things, which led to the clan being punished, but he was still loyal and married Liu Xiu's younger sister Liu Boji. In this way, he and Liu Xiu can be regarded as friends of life and death, sharing weal and woe, so they have won Liu Xiu's trust.

Li Tong came to Luoyang again, Liu Xiu personally went down to the palace to greet him, held his hand to speak, first ordered to be the captain of the guard, and then named the Marquis of Gushi, worshiped the great Sinon, lived in the Beijing Division, and pacified the people.

And Li Tong lived up to Liu Xiu's expectations, set up palace studies, set punishments, advocated etiquette, and ruled Luoyang with Situ Fuzhan, and the people of the imperial capital were able to live a comfortable life from then on. Of course, that's an afterthought.

Having said that, Liu Xiu wants to go to the army in person, and he doesn't know when he will come back. On the eve of leaving, he went to Changqiu Palace first and told Guo Shengtong to take care of the harem, not to cause chaos, to take care of the prince, and to take care of Yin Lihua. If you encounter something extraordinary, you can find Li Tong or Situ Fuzhan.

Guo Shengtong responded again and again, reassuring Liu Xiu, and also asking Liu Xiu to take care and return as soon as possible. Seeing that Liu Xiu was leaving, he was stunned for a moment, and then calmly sent Liu Xiu away. Guo Sheng informed Liu Xiu where he was going next, and he also expected that Liu Xiu would not come back to Changqiu Palace tonight. For this reason, she was inevitably a little unhappy in her heart, but she was helpless, and she couldn't help but be jealous of Yin Lihua. Watching Liu Xiu disappear into the night, Guo Shengtong had a moment, thinking that if Liu Xiu did not come back, it would be very good, and then her son Liu Qiang would naturally become the Son of Heaven, with the support of loyal ministers, she would be able to sit back and relax. This thought was fleeting, Guo Shengtong came back to his senses, and he was also startled, thinking to himself, how could such a ridiculous idea be born? If Liu Xiu really can't come back this time, then her good days are estimated to be over, such as today's lack of peace, internal and external turmoil, and the current situation is turbulent. Thinking of this, Guo Shengtong suddenly felt cold all over his body, fearing that Liu Xiu would encounter something unexpected this time. Therefore, since Liu Xiu left Luoyang, Guo Shengtong has been worried all night.

Having said that, Liu Xiu finished explaining Guo Shengtong, and then came to the West Palace, stood in front of the West Palace, hesitated for a long time, and finally walked in.

The moment Yin Lihua saw Liu Xiu, her eyes immediately filled with tears. After the self-proclaimed ceremony, Liu Xiu never came to see her again. Knowing that Liu Xiu was going to be in person, she thought in her heart that she would see Liu Xiu before she left Beijing, but she waited and waited, but she never waited for Liu Xiu, she wanted to take the initiative to ask to see, but she also thought that Liu Xiu was close to the personal expedition, and the government affairs must be more busy, so she naturally didn't dare to bother. In this way, she thought that Liu Xiu would not see him before he set out for the expedition, and if she wanted to see Liu Xiu, she was afraid that she would have to wait until Liu Xiu's triumphant return. Unexpectedly, just when she was about to give up, Liu Xiu suddenly appeared in front of her eyes. She said to Liu Xiu at the moment: "The concubine thinks Uncle Wen will not come." ”

Liu Xiu strode over, hugged Yin Lihua into his arms, and said, "How can I be willing." ”

Yin Lihua's tears almost flowed out because of Liu Xiu's words, but fortunately, she held back in time, since she was pregnant, she felt that she had become vulnerable. Obviously knew what Guo Shengtong was going to bear after that, but that day after the seal, the big pawn in front of the ministers and Liu Xiu knelt down to Guo Shengtong and recently staggered to the Changqiu Palace to ask for peace, these still made her feel very aggrieved and uncomfortable, at this time she wanted to get Liu Xiu is pity and relief, but unfortunately Liu Xiu didn't come, and learned that Liu Xiu was going to go to the expedition, at that moment, Yin Lihua really felt very uncomfortable, she couldn't help but blame Liu Xiu in her heart, you can see Liu Xiu at this moment, She almost couldn't control herself and burst into tears, but her reason told her that no one could blame her now, because this was the consequence of her choice of Liu Xiu, whether she was willing or not, she couldn't escape, she could only face it strongly, and then create conditions that were more favorable to herself. Therefore, Yin Lihua's tears were finally endured. calmed down her mood, Yin Lihua said to Liu Xiu: "Uncle Wen is out on the expedition, he must take care of himself, and the concubine is looking forward to her triumphant return as soon as possible in the palace." ”

Liu Xiu responded: "Don't worry, I will definitely come back before Wang Er is born, and we will welcome Wang Er together." ”

This night, the two lay on the bed and talked, and Yin Lihua fell asleep while talking.

Liu Xiu saw that Yin Lihua was asleep, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and also fell asleep after kissing Yin Lihua affectionately on her forehead.

The next day, when Yin Lihua woke up, Liu Xiu had already led the army to set off. Yin Lihua was lost for a while, and then cheered up and went to Changqiu Palace to greet Guo Shengtong.

Not long after Yin Lihua asked An to return to the West Palace, Liu Huang and Liu Boji followed. When Yin Lihua saw them, she swept away the unhappiness of the past few days and smiled. She hadn't seen Liu Huang and Liu Boji for a long time. Liu Boji went to Jingzhou after being pregnant for three months and followed Li Tong. And Liu Huang was already interested in the palace, and without Liu Boji as his companion, he never entered the palace again.

When Yin Lihua saw the two of them, she said angrily: "The eldest sister and the younger sister finally remembered to come to see me, I thought you had forgotten me." ”

Liu Huang and Liu Boji both smiled when they heard this.

Liu Boji stepped forward to hold Yin Lihua's hand and said with a smile: "If you forget anyone, you won't forget the third sister-in-law, no, I just came back yesterday, and I came to see you with my eldest sister early this morning." But as soon as he finished speaking, he lost his words and lost his smile.

Yin Lihua didn't care, and smiled: "It's okay." However, this is not what it used to be, and we must pay attention in the future. ”

Liu Boji nodded to Yin Lihua.

Yin Lihua spared Liu Boji from blaming herself again, so she asked about Liu Boji's trip to Jingzhou.

Liu Boji understood Yin Lihua's intentions, and talked about what she had seen and heard in these days very cooperatively.

Just when Yin Lihua and Liu Boji were talking, Liu Huang looked at Yin Lihua carefully, and saw that although Yin Lihua was about to give birth, her complexion was acceptable, but she still looked delicate, so she decided that this was Yin Lihua's life in the palace, and she couldn't help but feel distressed.

In fact, Liu Huang was so disgusted with Guo Shengtong, she really wronged Guo Shengtong, she didn't embarrass Yin Lihua later, she just asked her to say goodbye every day, she couldn't understand that she was so hard working and a lot richer, why Yin Lihua had nothing to do but her posture was still slender, she secretly sent someone to investigate for this, but unfortunately she couldn't find anything, she only thought that Yin Lihua was blessed, which made her jealous.
