The first thing Liu Chengyou did when he returned to Tokyo was to enter the palace to greet Empress Li and let her see herself, which was the kind he had always operated and couldn't change. Then, from the Li family, I learned the news that the eldest brother Liu Chengxun fell ill, and was instructed by him to visit the Wei Palace.

Of course, Liu Chengyou actually knew about Liu Chengxun's situation a long time ago, but it was just not easy to show it. When he learned of the situation, Liu Chengyou's mood was complicated and indescribable.

"Find the best imperial doctor, use the best medicine, and you must cure King Wei for me, otherwise, I will cut you down!" Liu Chengyou came to the door, and until Liu Chengxun was recuperating outside the warm pavilion, he heard Liu Zhiyuan's anger.

Liu Chengyou stopped.

With a few coughs, Liu Chengxun's weak voice came: "The imperial doctor, the slaves and maids have all served the decoction with all their hearts, and they have not been abolished, and my father does not need to be harsh on them......"

Walking into the warm pavilion, a bitter smell of medicine came to my nose, and the more I went inside, the heavier the taste. On the couch, Liu Chengxun was lying down, wrapped in a soft quilt, looking sickly and in a very bad state, but when he saw Liu Chengyou, a pale smile appeared on his face: "Erlang is here." ”

"Big brother." Liu Chengyou didn't know what kind of emotion to face Liu Chengxun's smile, and responded in a deep voice.

I asked the doctor about his condition, and said that the cold poison invaded the lungs, and he needed to take care of it and work less. The Imperial Physician was vague, but the situation was obviously not optimistic. briefly greeted the eldest brother, and seeing that his strength was weak, it was really inconvenient to disturb him, so he was called away by Liu Zhiyuan.

"Sister-in-law, take care of your eldest brother." Liu Chengyou sighed and said to Princess Wei.

The sister-in-law had some moistness in her eyes, but she nodded a little sadly.

When he walked out of the warm pavilion, Liu Zhiyuan stood under the corridor, tilted his head, blew a cold wind for a while, the compassion in his expression was exposed, and his face became older and older. Liu Chengyou stood at his side and comforted softly: "As long as you recuperate, the eldest brother will get better, and my father doesn't have to worry about it." ”

Hearing this, Liu Zhiyuan turned his head to look at the second son, his eyes were also extremely complicated, and he summoned a eunuch, who was the chamberlain beside Liu Zhiyuan, and sternly ordered: "If the Wei Wangfu has needs, all the supplies will be in place, and there shall be no delay!" ”

"Yes!"

"I've come back all the way, I'm tired, go back to the house to rest, I will allow you to take a few days off. Well, it's freezing like this, pay attention to your body......" After the order, Liu Zhiyuan rarely said to Liu Chengyou in a warm tone, which made him a little uncomfortable.

"Yes!" Liu Chengyou bowed respectfully.

"Go back to the palace!" Yixing commanded, and Liu Zhiyuan left slowly.

"Congratulations to the official family!"

Looking from behind, Liu Chengyou clearly noticed that Liu Zhiyuan's footsteps were staggering and heavy.

When Liu Chengyou returned to the Zhou Palace, he found that the atmosphere in the palace was a little wrong, the sky was already dark, the lights and candles lit above the back hall were extremely bright, and the two women, Gao and Geng, sat opposite each other......

Gao's family was born in a noble general's family, beautiful and generous, although it was a second marriage, but there was no secret contempt, sitting there, his beautiful eyes were as calm as water, and he directly overpowered Geng's from his aura.

Geng Shi had a weak and charming expression, his head was lowered unconfidently, and he tilted his head slightly stubbornly, biting his tender lips. Only when the hand touches the belly does he show a dim sum of ease......

"Erlang!"

"Your Highness!"

Seeing Liu Chengyou, the two women got up one after another to salute, and Geng was a little anxious and rushed to the front of the hall with unsteady steps. Frowning slightly, Liu Chengyou reached out and held her arm, and looked at her belly, which was already slightly convex, but Geng's was too thin and weak, and it was not too obvious.

Taking a breath slowly, Liu Chengyou said softly: "It's cold, don't catch a cold!" ”

"Hmm." Responding softly in the same way, Geng's afterglow couldn't help but glance at Gao Huaijin behind the lower side.

Regarding the kind of "confrontation" between two women, Liu Chengyou has no intention of paying attention to it, or it doesn't care at all. ordered someone to sort out a courtyard pavilion and settle the Gao family to move in, and Liu Chengyou went to the study by himself. Geng couldn't help but be disappointed when she couldn't have a warm encounter with Liu Chengyou, but she knew Liu Chengyou's temperament and didn't dare to make trouble at all.

As soon as Li Chongju returned to Beijing, he sorted out the intelligence information uploaded by his secret agents, heard Liu Chengyou's call, and prepared to report fully, especially about the changes in the court after Liu Chengxun fell ill.

To sum up in one sentence, Yang Wei wantonly seized power, and all important military and political affairs, regardless of size, passed through his hands, entered his eyes, and then implemented ......

The hour was still early, the sky was already dark, the guards came to report, and Li Shaoyou, the eunuch in the palace, came to visit. His cousin has been promoted again, and he has a bit of a real job, and he is in charge of the etiquette of the court.

"Erlang, you've gone to see King Wei." As soon as he sat down, Li Shaoyou asked Liu Chengyou very familiarly.

"Hmm." Liu Chengyou nodded.

I saw Li Shaoyou say with a little excitement: "He is sick this time, your chance has come!" ”

After saying this, Li Shaoyou glanced at Liu Chengyou, only to see that he was expressionless and solemn. The corners of his mouth hooked, Li Shaoyou said: Sick seedling, how can you inherit the unification, after this matter, I am afraid that the emperor's heart will be biased towards you, and the official family will not be imprudent with the country. If the news of King Wei's serious illness spreads, I'm afraid that all the officials will not be able to sit still. ”

"You say, should we seize the opportunity and take advantage of the opportunity to ......"

Li Shaoyou drew his fingers in circles, giving advice to Liu Chengyou like a dog-headed military advisor, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Liu Chengyou: "What are you doing with the opportunity?" ”

Liu Chengyou looked at Li Shaoyou with a cold face, looked at his cousin as a little weak-hearted, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Now, you can't do anything!" Also, pray for the eldest brother and hope that he will get better soon! ”

Hearing this, Li Shaoyou thought for a moment, nodded thoughtfully, glanced at Liu Chengyou, and subconsciously said: "In my opinion, if King Wei is killed this time, then-"

"Shut up!" Liu Chengyou slapped the table with a "bang", and scolded him fiercely, jumping Li Shaoyou.

The atmosphere in the room was a little depressed, his expression was slightly sluggish, and Li Shaoyou looked at Liu Chengyou seriously. muttered in his heart, could it be that King Zhou still cares about brotherhood?

However, after thinking about it for a while, Li Shaoyou couldn't help but be shocked, he seemed to have made a taboo, and then thought of what Liu Chengyou said, so he quickly got up and bowed: "The minister understands." ”

Seeing his reaction, Liu Chengyou was a little surprised, what do you understand?

"To do nothing is to do nothing! At this time, you really can't move lightly, otherwise you will only be afraid of the criticism of the ministers......" Li Shaoyou looked like he had guessed Liu Chengyou's thoughts.

......

Liu Zhiyuan was also ill and had no energy to manage the government, so he entrusted all the major affairs of the court and government to Yang Wei and other ministers. After Du Chongwei was pacified, the situation in Dahan finally entered a period of stability.

Because of the weather, Meng Shu didn't dare to really invade Fengxiang and Jingzhao after all, and when he learned that the Central Plains was established, he decisively shrank back.

As for Gao Congzhi in the south, he sent 20,000 soldiers from Jingnan to attack Yingzhou in the north, but as a result, An Xianqi led thousands of state soldiers by Shannan Dongdao Jiedu, and won more with less, and was defeated. Hearing that Liu Zhiyuan's relatives had won the victory and returned to the court, Gao Laizi was directly frightened and sick, and hurriedly sent an envoy to the Southern Tang Dynasty to claim refuge from Li Jing......

As for Liu Chengxun's illness, it has not improved, and it has dragged on until the winter moon, but it has worsened. For this, Emperor Liu Zhiyuan was worried.

In November, Liu Chengyou suddenly received an invitation from Liu Chengxun and went to the house to talk.

With some doubts in his heart, Liu Chengyou came to the door. To his surprise, Liu Chengxun did not see him in the "Medicine Pavilion", but was fully dressed in an octagonal pavilion in the garden of the Wei Palace.

Racking a case, boiling wine, roasting meat.

Sitting on the case, Liu Chengyou paid attention to Liu Chengxun's face, pale as Fu powder, white and revealing a strange flush, weak movements, completely giving people a feeling of being terminally ill.

"It's windy here, my brother shouldn't be here, let's go into the house."

Liu Chengxun shook his head, his breath was insufficient, but his voice was leisurely: "Lying sick in the house for more than a month, it's really not as refreshing as outside......"

Seeing Liu Chengyou's calm expression, Liu Chengxun showed a smile, just as gentle as jade as he usually was: "Erlang, I'm afraid I'll die soon!" ”
