When Gu Qing came to his senses, he knew that he was in a catastrophe.

A few of the fourth to seventh ribs should be broken, because it hurts to move and is especially violent when you inhale. The left hand cannot be opened on its own, and the left leg is also stiff and straight. Only the head and shoulders can move.

Knowing that Lu Dao was like this, she didn't want to come back distressed for a while.

In this era when there is no elastic chest strap to fix and no X-ray to see if there is any front displacement, rib fracture is basically an injury that only a strong young man can heal.

She does not feel too unbearable now, indicating that the bones are not displaced, but the chest pain makes her breathing shallow, her cough weak, and her respiratory secretions increase and retain, which can easily lead to atelectasis and lung infection.

Once infected, she is not far from death.

She didn't know why she couldn't move the left side of her body. If she breaks any of her cerebral blood vessels, she will become a hemiplegic patient in the future.

It's the same ending she had envisioned when she first crossed over.

Why would she die and come back?

Is it because of Li Rui's call? Or is it because you may feel guilty about having cheated someone else's family?

When Li Rui saw his grandmother wake up, he was stunned at first, and then immediately called his family to report the news.

Fang and Li Ming guarded the day, he guarded the night, and now it was night, so he was here.

When he was a child, he often heard his grandmother say that the messengers of the soul were all coming to the soul at night, so he didn't dare to sleep at night, and "called the soul" over and over again.

The last time he did this was at his father's bedside, but it didn't work at all, and his father didn't stay up until dawn.

Thankfully, this time it's finally back!

Old Taijun Qiu was assassinated, and Emperor Chu Rui pulled most of the people from the Tai Hospital to the Xinguo Mansion, and now they all live in Zhiyun Courtyard. The two young imperial doctors who were keeping vigil immediately came to visit Gu Qing when they saw Gu Qing wake up.

They began to ask Gu Qing some questions about her body, such as whether it hurts, where it hurts, how it hurts, and so on. Gu Qing had just woken up, his stomach was empty, and his head was very dizzy, and when he heard their question, he answered a few words casually and was about to fall asleep.

When Fang and Li Ming came over, they were all startled when they saw Gu Qing lying on the bed silently, and Li Ming burst into tears.

"What to cry about! Grandma is fine, grandma is asleep! Li Rui glared at his younger brother, "Be quiet." ”

"Huh? Nothing? Li Ming wiped away his tears with the back of his hand, but his nose and eyes were still red, "Didn't you wake up in a coma?" Why do you want to sleep? ”

"Little boy, being in a coma is not the same as sleeping. The former consumes the mind, and the latter nourishes the mind. "A young physician withdrew his hand that was trumpeting." Mrs. Tai's blood veins are blocked, her qi is deficient and her ribs are broken, and she needs to be recuperated. ”

What he didn't say was that even if he was good at health and conditioning, he would not be able to survive for a few years if he lost his body like this.

The sky was still dark, and a purple figure was ushered in in front of the palace gate.

The Mingchen Palace of Da Chu generally opens the morning palace door at the moment of Yin, about three o'clock. At this point, few people enter and exit the palace gate, and it will take more than half an hour after opening the palace gate to usher in the adults who have gone to the court one after another.

At that time, the gate of the palace was crowded with traffic, the lights were bright, and all the adults got off the car and dismounted in front of the south gate, and then walked into the palace.

And now, half an hour before the palace door opened, this Lord Xinguo was waiting at the palace gate to get out.

Although he knew that Lord Li must have been allowed to leave the palace, because the sign of entering and leaving the palace gate was hanging on his waist, the cautious guards still asked a few words.

"Lord Li, leaving the palace so early?"

"Master Li, aren't you there for this morning's court meeting?"

Li Mao smiled bitterly and nodded.

On the second day after Qiu Taijun was in a coma, an urgent military report came from the northern border pass.

The three cities of Liangxiang, Changping and Daxing were broken one after another, and tens of thousands of Han troops with 50,000 Hu troops invaded the border passes under the banner of "Yin", plundered the city, and were coming to the south.

These people are menacing, more familiar with the terrain, and have obviously stayed at the border of Youzhou. The two cities of Liangxiang and Changping were simply the gates opened by a team that suddenly appeared in the city, and the inside and outside were broken after they were closed.

As soon as these Hu people entered the city, they burned and looted, leaving no chickens and dogs wherever they went, but fortunately they did not set fire to the city, and they could wait for it to be subdued in the future.

Daxing City is an important town in the north, and these Hu people drove straight into it and directly attacked Daxing City. The Han people under the banner of "Yin" got the siege equipment from nowhere, and the Dingbei Army suddenly mutinied in the garrison of Daxing, but it fell after only two days.

The envoy of Pegasus was intercepted by an unknown team on the post road, and finally could only divide 30 people to report the news from Beijing on different roads, and did not dare to enter the post station to change horses to rest, so they could only knock on the gate of the official office along the road, and send the news of the war to the capital through the channels of local officials.

So when the first battle report was placed on Chu Rui's desk, and as soon as Chu Rui saw the time signed at the end of the most difficult time, he knew in his heart that the situation had collapsed.

For so many days, I'm afraid that half of Youzhou is already in their hands.

Chu Rui sacrificed heaven and earth on the first day, and received a battle report on the second day. At this time, why Old Taijun Qiu was assassinated, he immediately understood in his heart.

Li Mao is the secretary of the military department, and before he was appointed as the secretary of the military department, he was a squire who managed the number of military personnel, and he knew the four armies of Great Chu well.

That's why Old Taijun Qiu was still in a coma, and Chu Rui issued an edict to urgently summon Li Mao into the palace to discuss.

In order to appease Li Mao, Chu Rui released Li Rui and sent half of the imperial doctors from the Tai Hospital to his house for permanent residence. No matter how unwilling Li Mao was in his heart, the emperor personally issued an edict, this was the royal order, and he could only leave his mother without packing up anything and go to the palace to listen to the government.

Li Mao had already thought that they might rebel when he heard Ghost Face talk about the descendants of the Yin Dynasty a few months ago. The weapons and equipment in the military department have been prepared, and the various equipment and baggage teams that have been manufactured and mobilized by the household department and the industrial department have also been reorganized long ago, just waiting for the emergency.

Chu Rui even compiled all the information on the generals available today, from what kind of war he was good at to which he had combat experience in the north, and he wrote it clearly, just waiting for the emperor to check it, and the better point would be supported.

This monarch and a minister were actually guarding against the Hu people when Zhang Xuan predicted that there would be an incident in the northern cold.

The opening of Hu City is for this, and the investigation of the horse farm to recover the horses is also for this, after Wang Taihe, the general of Qiyang Wang's subordinates, rebelled, Chu Rui did not even dare to use the old marshal Yuan Xi, who had been guarding the north for more than ten years, to let him unload his armor and return to Beijing, because he was afraid that there would be a disaster of internal and external cooperation.

It's just that they didn't expect that this turmoil would come so quickly and so violently, and even if most of the coaches in the north were transferred to the veterans in Beijing, they were still succeeded by the traitors and broke a few cities in a row.

Only Wang Tai and the 10,000 troops escaped from the north, but at this time, the military newspaper said that the Han people had tens of thousands of soldiers, and they were all wearing the military uniforms of Da Chu, and they often couldn't distinguish between the enemy and the enemy when they were in a scuffle. Then, either the number of Qiyang King Yu is far more than 10,000, or the Qiyang King Yu has already formed an alliance with Yin Dynasty Yu Xian, otherwise there is no such great power.

Either way, it's not a good thing.

What made the courtiers of Great Chu even more angry was that these thieves actually lured wolves into the room and put the barbarians of the ten Hanhai Divisions in the north into Great Chu!

The Hu people in the north are not the same as the western Hu who invaded back then. At that time, Xihu was from the great powers of the Western Regions, although they could also fight well and had a cruel personality, but after all, they were a civilized people, different from the barbarians in the north who would surely loot and slaughter every city they visited.

Among the courtiers of Great Chu, whether it was the Xungui faction or the Shi clan faction, many of the ancestors died in the turmoil of the Hu invasion that year, and naturally they hated foreign races. The vassal kings of the previous dynasty traded with Xihu and finally ruined their own foundation, but these juniors still dare to make deals with Beihu, and they are not afraid of repeating the mistakes of the past!

The second □□ meeting, which received the war report, was nothing short of a meeting of criticism, and the ministers of all sides were filled with righteous indignation, and they were eager to eat the flesh and drink the blood of those rebels.

At that time, Xihu was still human, and only half of the Han people left in the Central Plains were left, and now these northern people are all savages who drink blood.

The discussion of the people in the court was in full swing, but Li Mao, who was the secretary of the military department and the prince of a country, was a little confused, which made many people secretly anxious.

They all knew that this Li Guogong's mother had just been assassinated by the thieves, and it was normal for him to be in a state of disgrace at this time.

I only hope that Old Taijun Qiu will come to his senses quickly and escape the catastrophe, otherwise Da Chu will lose several important ministers in a row, and there will be no way to twist it into a rope in this case.

Li Mao stayed in the palace for a day and a night, and at midnight received a report from the palace guard, saying that someone in his family had handed a sign to enter the palace, telling him that the old lady in his family had woken up.

This is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for a filial son who is full of despair, but must stay in the palace and discuss various issues with the emperor.

Li Mao has never been a person who can kill relatives in righteousness, in other words, he is not the kind of person who "my mother is dying at home, but for the sake of official business, I still stick to my post, and I can't see his last side".

At this time, there were still many ministers and emperors discussing the military situation all night, and as soon as Li Mao received the news that his mother had woken up, he immediately couldn't sit still.

The old prince Li Shuo was also in a coma for a long time and suddenly woke up, and he went there within a few hours.

Li Mao is afraid that he will return to the light.

Therefore, no matter whether the ministers in the same hall scolded or persuaded, how to know the righteousness, Li Mao only kept kowtowing to Chu Rui, begging him to let him go back to visit his mother, and he promised that he would return to the palace early in the morning and never delay the military situation.

Chu Rui didn't rest well, his eyes were red, his eyes were bloodshot, and he saw the most trusted and relied on courtier knocking his head at his feet, and finally let him out of the palace, and allowed him to come back at noon.

Li Mao has actually done what he should do, he has prepared the materials and deployment in advance, and now everyone has saved at least ten days.

At this time, if you don't let him go back, it's a little unkind.

That's why the sky is not yet dawn, the palace gate has not yet opened, and this Li Guogong, who should have stayed in the palace, is waiting at the door.

Li Mao's heart was like an arrow at the moment, but he still cheered up and replied with two sentences.

"My mother woke up, and His Majesty allowed me to go back to the palace to visit my mother."

In just two sentences, several Praetorian guards guarding the palace gate looked at each other.

All of them knew that the mother of the prince had just been assassinated, but as soon as the emperor received the battle report from the Dingbei army, he summoned him to the palace, and did not give him the opportunity to serve his mother at home.

They all have mothers at home, and ask themselves, if they see this situation, I am afraid that they will wait at the gate of the palace early to prepare to open the door, even if they stay at home for a while longer.

The captain of the Praetorian Guard guarding the south gate touched his nose, suddenly looked at the sky, and muttered to himself:

"Hey, why is it so early today?"

In fact, he was talking nonsense with his eyes open, and in the February season, the sky was very late, and it was often after five o'clock before a touch of fish belly white appeared.

When he was still in Yin, the sky was still dark.

The Praetorian Guards guarding the door next to them were just stunned for a moment, and then they answered: "Hey, yes, time seems to have passed very quickly today." Xiao Liu, did you say? ”

"I also think that it doesn't seem to be an illusion, Dr. Oleak, you are in charge of the time, can you open the palace door now?"

Dr. Leak is a petty official of the Qin Heavenly Prison, who specially watches the time before opening the palace door, and when the bell rings to open the door.

If the bronze bell does not ring, the Praetorian Guards will open the door early without authorization, and they will be visited by the Imperial Historian, and Dr. Leakage and the Praetorian Guards will be unlucky.

As for the imperial history who came early in the morning to maintain order at the palace gate, it has not yet arrived, and I am afraid that it will come in another quarter of an hour.

Dr. Leaky looked at the leaky pot behind the palace gate, silently raised his head, glanced at the Praetorian Guards who were staring at him, and nodded hesitantly.

"Good...... It looks like it's almost there......"

He didn't dare to refute, the eyes of these Praetorian Guards were about to eat people.

Li Mao was also stunned when he heard Dr. Leak say this, and then he knew what these people meant. There are clear regulations on locking and opening the door in the palace, and in order to prevent someone from breaking into the palace, it is rare to make an exception to open the door early. Since his mother had woken up and was not dying, the emperor had no reason to open the palace door for him.

But now these Praetorian Guards want to open the palace gate for him early at the cost of losing their official responsibilities, which makes him feel a hot current in his heart.

He has been an official for several years, although he does not say how he is resourceful and scheming, and he is dead, but he is also conscientious, never violates the law, and does not dare to be arrogant, he has always been kind to the people, and he does not dare to slack off for a day.

In the past, he was used to seeing the ups and downs of the Huan Sea, and he also saw a lot of the sinister hearts of people, and he was rarely moved, but now it was the most ordinary gatekeeper in this group of palaces, but he was moved to the letter.

"Thank you for your kindness, it's just half an hour, it's okay for my father to wait." Li Mao squeezed out a smile, "If you are tired and punished, I think my mother will blame me." ”

The captain of the Praetorian Guard had already unlocked the lock in front of everyone, opened the width for one person to enter and exit, and said to Li Mao: "Your mother is seriously injured, and we can all feel the same way. Now I opened the door, and in the future I will be guilty, and I will be the only one to find it. I'll lock it back when you're gone, and no one will find out. ”

"yes, yes, we're not going to talk nonsense."

"Li Guogong, let's go, if you slow down, the imperial history is coming!"

"Our doors are open, and we all have to be held accountable anyway, so you better go out."

Li Mao looked at the crack in the door that was one person wide, and then looked at Dr. Leaky's eyes that he wanted him to hurry up and re-close the door and lock it, arched his hand to a few people, and got out of the door without saying anything.

As soon as he came out, the palace gate was immediately closed, as if Li Mao had learned the wall penetration technique of the Maoshan Taoist priest and drilled out of the palace gate. In the night, he was the only one outside the cold palace gate. He couldn't ride a horse in the palace, and his horse was stored at the horse prison outside the palace, and he had to walk for a while to get there.

Li Mao couldn't go to get the horse, and he couldn't explain how he left the palace gate early. He didn't want to take the Praetorian guards who had secretly released him. His family's Xinguo Mansion was in the inner city not far from the palace, Li Mao thought about it, and simply ran wildly.

If you sprint home, it will only take two quarters of an hour.

On the deserted trail in the early morning, Li Mao, dressed in a purple official uniform and wearing a virtuous crown, ran in the cold morning breeze. The white smoke from his exhalation hung over his head and face, looking like a ghost. He is a prince of the country, he has not exercised for a long time, he has ridden in and out, and he has a sedan chair when he gets off the horse, and he has not run like this for a long time.

His breath was short, his face was flushed, and his steps were heavy as if they had been filled with lead. But in addition to these, his heart suddenly rose with a sense of happiness.

During the run, Li Mao felt that his mind was getting clearer and clearer, and his blood and limbs seemed to be alive because of this run.

Only at this time can he abandon all distracting thoughts, forget about his family and country, forget about political affairs, and move forward towards a goal wholeheartedly.

It was the inner city, the mansion of the Prince, his home.

"Stand still, in the middle of the night, who is running around here? I don't know if this is the ...... of the hundred officials" Several officials on horseback saw a panting figure running in the distance, all of them were shocked and angry.

However, it only took a moment for the purple clothes to let them know who it was.

"Huh? Lord Shinkoku? Why are you? ”

These imperial histories of the Imperial Historical Observatory were the duty officers who had to rush to the south near the Holy Gate when the palace gate was opened. They were responsible for supervising discipline before the hundred officials went to court, and even more so to prevent the court from talking about the government before the court.

At this time, it should be a little while before the palace gate was opened, and they saw this Xinguo Gong who was trotting all the way between the inner and outer cities, how could they not be frightened?

Could it be that they are late today, and the doors have already opened, and they haven't arrived yet?

Oh my God, you have to hurry up and "discuss" with the guards, don't let them sue the adults of the Imperial Tower!

Li Mao ran wildly for a while, and after running for less than a quarter of an hour, his legs and feet were weak.

After all, he is not a young man, and he is handsome for only three seconds, not to mention not handsome.

"Don't talk about that yet." When Li Mao saw these imperial histories, his eyes immediately lit up.

"Li wants to borrow a horse from you, please agree!"

An imperial historian borrowed a horse and watched stupidly as Li Mao beat the horse and left.

Several other imperial historians looked at this colleague and asked with an uncomfortable expression, "What should I do?" ”

"Ahem." The imperial historian replied seriously: "Since we lent the horse to Li Guogong, it is okay to go to the palace gate slowly, after all, the matter is in a hurry, don't you say?" ”

"Yes, yes, we were on the road, so we didn't get to the place according to the time when the palace gate opened. I believe that other adults know that Li Guogong is sincere when he returns home, and they will forgive us. ”

It doesn't matter if you don't forgive, with the mountain of Li Guogong, no one dares to make it difficult for them.

A few Yushi laughed, and the others simply dismounted and led the horses forward.

You can't leave your colleagues behind, right?

The hour had come, and Dr. Leaky hesitated as he rang the brass bell.

On weekdays, the imperial history who should have come at this time didn't arrive, is this the rhythm of God deliberately helping Li Guogong?

…… Is it a delay on the way?

Li Mao, who borrowed a horse from Yushi on the road, galloped back to the mansion and knocked on the door of the mansion.

The doorman at home didn't expect the master to come back at this time, and at first glance he thought he was dazzled, so he rubbed his eyes vigorously.

Li Mao asked Menzi to go to the palace gate to return a horse surnamed Zhu Yushi, and he entered the house without looking back.

When he ran all the way to the main house of Zhiyun Courtyard and heard his son's voice, he realized that Lu Dao's mother was really fine.

"I said Ming'er, don't make me laugh all the time, and don't make me cry......" Gu Qing pressed his ribs with his right hand, for fear that a gasp would cause an injury.

When she opened her eyes again, everyone around the bed was all around, just Li Mao. Thinking about it, Li Mao is not heartless to such a point, I am afraid that he will be summoned away by the evil feudal leader emperor again.

None of that's the point, though.

Gu Qing looked at the family members beside the bed weakly.

"I'm dying of hunger, you let me use something first......"

Li Mao laughed all of a sudden.

This is his mother, the sky is falling, and I want to fill my stomach first.

The author has something to say: Li Mao's luck is as strong as ever

Small Theatre:

When they saw this Xinguo Gong who was trotting all the way between the inner and outer cities, how could they not be frightened?

Li Mao: I'm obviously running, running!

Imperial History: ...... That's just a quick walk, right?

Li Mao: ......

Author: Don't learn to run as a hot-blooded young man, be careful of your feet.
