Liu Rong was about to shoot a fat boar with an arrow with a bow at this time, but he heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and when he turned his head, he saw several soldiers galloping towards him.

Before Liu Rongzhi approached, the soldier immediately dismounted and said, "Your Highness, Your Majesty orders you to go back to the palace as soon as possible!" ”。

"But what happened in the palace?" , Liu Rong asked hurriedly.

"Someone came to report that the Queen Mother is sick!".

Hearing this, Liu Rongdang threw the bow in his hand to the soldiers on the side, and rode away wildly.

Seeing his father's solemn face, Liu Rong said, "Grandmother's body has always been tough, and there should be no big deal."

Hearing this, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, sighed and said, "I hope it can be so."

Then Liu Qi, the son of heaven, and Liu Rong rode back to Chang'an.

Shanglin Yuan was already very close to Chang'an, and the two of them galloped on fast horses, and entered Chang'an City in only half an hour.

When he arrived at the horseback gate, Liu Rong had to dismount and walk, seeing that Liu Qidang, the son of heaven, even if he pulled the reins, the galloping horse stopped and said: "You don't have to get off the horse, go to the palace with me."

"No!".

When the two arrived at the Changxin Palace, there were already many people gathered here, all of whom were concubines in the harem, as well as people from the Dou clan, and naturally the eldest princess Liu Xuan.

Seeing that His Majesty had returned, the crowd saluted and said, "The ministers (concubines) pay their respects to Your Majesty."

Where did Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, take care of the rest, and hurriedly asked, "How is the Queen Mother?" ”。

Hearing this, Empress Bo got up and walked to the front of Liu Qizhi, the Son of Heaven, and said: "Chun Yu has been ordered to be diagnosed and treated by the imperial doctor, and the queen mother is suffering from a warm disease."

The Queen Mother has been ordered to take some decoction, and according to what she said, the Queen Mother's illness is not a stubborn disease, but she has not yet woken up at this time."

Hearing what the queen said, this was Chun Yuyi's words, Liu Qicai, the son of heaven, relaxed slightly, "Where is Chun Yuyi at this time?" ”。

Empress Bo hurriedly replied: "Chun Yuqing is decocting medicine for the Queen Mother in the side hall at this time."

After a while, Chun Yuyi, who personally carried a tray of goods, entered the temple and came.

"Your Majesty".

Liu Qi, the son of heaven, said busily: "Qing doesn't need to say much, it is important to heal the Queen Mother quickly."

"No!" , In this way, Chun Yuyi didn't say much, and handed over the decoction to the maid of the first palace and asked her to feed the Empress Dowager Dou to take it, and then she stepped forward to call the vein of the Empress Dowager Dou.

Then Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, said: "How? ”。

"Although the Queen Mother's body is tough, she is still old at this time, which is caused by the evil of the six prostitutions and the gas of the plague, and there is no major problem at this time.

In this way, the hanging heart of Liu Qi, the son of heaven, was put down, "That's good, that's good."

Then Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, ordered someone to bring a seat and kneel beside the bed of the Empress Dowager Dou, and Liu Rong was even more so.

However, when she waited until dusk, the Empress Dowager Dou still did not wake up, and when Empress Bo saw this, she naturally stepped forward to admonish her.

"Your Majesty, it's dusk, and your Majesty must be tired of running back and forth today, so why don't you go to the side hall, take a break, and let the concubines guard the Queen Mother."

Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, just said: "It's okay, I'm not tired."

Seeing that the Son of Heaven was so resolute, even if Queen Bo summoned a servant girl, she didn't know what to say to her, and the servant girl bowed and left.

However, after a while, I saw that the maid served a full meal and used it, and Queen Bo personally stepped forward to serve a bowl of porridge and presented it to Liu Qi, the son of heaven.

"Since Your Majesty is not tired, let's use some porridge first."

Originally, he wanted to refuse, but when he turned around and saw that Queen Bo was so deferential, he stretched out his hand and passed the porridge in Queen Bo's hand, "The queen has a heart."

Liu Qi, the son of heaven, hadn't drunk a few mouthfuls of porridge, but he saw the Empress Dowager Dou lying on the bed coughing suddenly, and I don't know who said, "The Empress Dowager is awake."

Hurriedly handed over the porridge in his hand to an attendant, and Liu Qi, the son of heaven, immediately approached the Empress Dowager Dou's preface and said: "Queen Mother, Queen Mother!" ”。

Although Empress Dowager Dou woke up at this time, she did not fully regain consciousness, and just muttered in her mouth: "Ah Wu...... Awu ...... ......".

Although not long ago, the Empress Dowager Dou personally ordered Liu Wu, the king of Liang, to be sent outside the palace, but in any case, the most important thing in his heart is naturally Liu Wu, the king of Liang.

Seeing this, Liu Qichang, the son of heaven, sighed and said: "Wang Yan, quickly order someone to pass the edict and summon King Liang to Chang'an!" ”。

Wang Yan stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty, I ordered someone to go at this time, but I am afraid that it is the middle of the night before I arrive at Hangu Pass, how to get out of the pass."

"Order someone to hold the scepter of me, why can't you get out of the customs!!".

"Obey Your Majesty's orders", after saying that, Wang Yan turned around and left.

But in half an hour, I saw a messenger, holding the scepter of the Son of Heaven, and there were several attendants and more than a dozen horsemen behind him, who followed him out of the east gate of Chang'an and rushed eastward.

And when the palace gate was about to be closed, the people of the Dou clan had to retreat and leave, and Liu Qi, the son of heaven, and his concubines, Liu Concubine and the heirs of the Son of Heaven were left in the Changxin Palace.

Until late at night, the Son of Heaven had not left, and the rest of the people, whether they wanted it or not, were also waiting for him in the Changxin Palace.

In this way, when the time came, under the persuasion of everyone, Liu Qi went to the side hall to rest.

When Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, left, the rest of the people also left, and only Liu Rong was left in Changxin Palace.

And the personal maid of the Empress Dowager Dou stepped forward to dissuade Liu Rong and said: "Your Highness, why don't you go back to the palace to rest, and come to visit the Queen Mother after dawn tomorrow."

"It's okay, I'm here to wait," Liu Rong said.

……………………………………………………………………

And the people sent by Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, rushed to the outside of Hangu Pass at the end of the time.

Seeing that someone had come here, Sima of the first army guarding the city said: "Who is coming, it is late at night, and you are not allowed to travel."

"Quickly report to the Gu Shou General, Your Majesty has an urgent edict asking us to wait for the edict to go out of the customs."

After speaking, he raised the scepter of the Son of Heaven and said, "This is the scepter given by His Majesty!" ”。

Seeing this situation, the military Sima hurriedly said: "Angel wait, I will go to report to the general."

After a short time, after verifying that this group of people was really an angel sent by His Majesty, the guard of this Hangu would naturally let them go immediately.

And when he arrived in Suiyang, the capital of Liang, the sky was not yet bright, an attendant said: "At this time, the gate of Suiyang has not yet been opened, so it is better to wait until tomorrow after dawn to enter Suiyang City."

Hearing this, the messenger immediately angrily reprimanded this attendant: "Your Majesty is in a hurry to edict King Liang, even Hangu Pass has come out, how can you stay outside Suiyang City, and immediately go forward to order someone to pass it."

Because of the darkness of the night, the soldiers defending the city in Suiyang almost thought that it was another prince and king who rebelled and wanted to attack Suiyang City at night, and almost ordered someone to shoot it with random arrows.

When he heard the words of people outside the city, he was ordered by His Majesty to come to Liang to preach the edict.

The captain of the Liang capital Suiyang guarding the city is different from the Hangu guard, although he ordered people to put down the bow in his hand, but this matter is also strange in his opinion, when will the Son of Heaven come in the middle of the night, he still does not want to believe it.

In the end, the messenger of the edict had no choice, so he untied the burden tied around his waist, took out a box sealed by fire paint, and ordered someone to send it into Suiyang City, so that he could turn the king of Liang.

Seeing this fire-lacquered box, no matter how unwise the captain was, he knew that this was a crucial matter.

When he ordered someone to report to Han Anguo, the prime minister of Liang State.

Han Anguo took the box and looked at it, where could he take care of the rest, and immediately went to the palace of King Liang.

Of course, he understood that the Son of Heaven ordered someone to come to deliver the edict in the middle of the night, and if it wasn't for a major event, it wouldn't be like this.

However, because Liu Wu relied on Han Anguo very much, the guards at the palace gate saw that he was going to enter the palace in the middle of the night, but they did not dare to stop him.

When he arrived outside Liu Wu's dormitory, Han Anguo said to the attendants outside the palace: "Go and wake up the king quickly, something big will happen."

Hearing Han Anguo say this, if he wanted to wake up the king, this attendant just stood up and didn't say a complete sentence for a long time.

In this way, Han Anguo frowned, and even shouted: "The king has a big incident!" His Majesty ordered someone to come here to preach the edict!! ”。

Han Anguo shouted, but he really woke up Liu Wu, who was sleeping peacefully in the hall.

However, after a while, he saw Liu Wu wearing a piece of clothing and walked outside the hall and said, "What is the prime minister doing here at this time?" ”。

Immediately, Han Anguo presented the box to Liu Wu, the king of Liang.

"My lord, this is something that His Majesty ordered to be sent overnight today."

Hearing this, Liu Wu immediately took over the box in Han Anguo's hand and removed the fire paint, which was a bamboo slip.

Take out this bamboo slip and open it to take a look, there is only one sentence on this bamboo slip, the queen mother is sick, hurry to Chang'an!

"Come on, go and prepare a horse for this king immediately, this king is going to Chang'an!"

Previously, when Liu Wu went to Chang'an, he drove away by car, so the attendant on the side asked, "The king wants to prepare a car to drive there?" ”。

Liu Wu seemed to be impatient at this time, "Idiot! What kind of car do you want, this king wants a fast horse! ”。

"No!" , Seeing that he had touched the king's moldy head, he was so frightened that the attendant immediately went down to give the order as soon as he gave it up.

"What's wrong with the king?" , Han Anguo asked hurriedly.

However, Liu Wu did not speak, but handed the bamboo slip in his hand to Han Anguo.

Han Anguo saw that the Queen Mother was sick.

…………………………………………………………………………

Riding on horseback, out of Suiyang City, Liu Wu rode his horse and galloped, along the way Liu Wu held the horse whip and kept pumping the back of the horse, only hating that the horse could not grow a few more legs and run faster.

However, at noon, Liu Wu, the king of Liang, finally entered Chang'an, arrived outside the Sima Gate, and got off the horse, and Liu Wu rushed to the palace.

And when he arrived outside the Changxin Palace, he was already out of breath, and when Wang Yan saw him coming, he even walked into the palace to report to Liu Qiyu, the Son of Heaven: "Your Majesty, King Liang has arrived."

"Let it in."

"No!".

As soon as he entered the hall and saw the Empress Dowager Dou lying on the bed, Liu Wu quickly ran forward, knelt beside the bed and shed tears, "Mother! Mother! Your unfilial son Liu Wu is here."

After speaking, Liu Wu couldn't stop crying.

However, the Empress Dowager Dou had already regained her senses, and when she saw that Liu Wu was coming, she wanted to reach out to pull Liu Wu, but because of this, her body was weak, and she used all her strength, and she still couldn't lift her arm.

Seeing this, Liu Wu immediately stepped forward, stretched out his hands and grabbed the hand of the Empress Dowager Dou, and cried: "Mother, it's the son who is here, the son is here."

At this moment, Chun Yuyi immediately stepped forward to stop Liu Wu, "The king can't, the queen mother's temperature illness at this time has not yet retreated, and the queen mother can't be hurt anymore."

Hearing this, Liu Wu stopped sobbing, and the two sons were by his side at this time, and the Empress Dowager Dou was relieved, and after taking the decoction, she fell asleep.

Out of the Changxin Palace, Liu Wu saluted to Liu Qi, the son of heaven, and said: "Your Majesty forgives your sins, but the younger brother did not salute His Majesty because he was worried about his mother, which is the fault of the younger brother."

"King Liang is like this because he is worried about his mother, how can I blame him."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!".
