The four seasons flow, and I didn't realize that it was spring again. Everything wakes up, willow branches sprout, and Chang'an City is still full of traffic, which is peaceful and prosperous. In the opposite border area, the Huns iron cavalry attacked and there was no grass, the smoke of gunpowder was still permeated, and the people were miserable.

In the Weiyang Palace, Liu Che received a report from the front, Long Yan was furious, and urgently summoned Wei Qing to lead the six armies from Dingxiang to attack the Huns, Wei Qing asked: "Your Majesty, can you let the ministers take the sick on this expedition?" First, it was verified that the illness had nothing to do with the previous Lanchi Palace, and secondly, he had been ill and practiced martial arts with his ministers for many years and wanted to go into battle to kill the enemy, and asked His Majesty to give him a chance! ”

Liu Che pondered for a moment and said, "The general commands the six armies, and the generals are all decided by the general!" Huo Qu's illness is a piece of jade, and it is a good thing to go to the battlefield to experience it, yes! ”

Knowing that he could go out with the army, Huo Qubing was overjoyed, Liu Jue's marriage was undoubtedly an emotional pain for him, but the man's ambition is in all directions, and it is the true color of a man to be able to put on armor and go into battle to kill the enemy for the country. He had already heard about the border beacon fire countless times in Wei Qing's mouth, and this time he could finally experience it in person, and he couldn't help but secretly look forward to going out as soon as possible.

----

Although Wei Qing has been on the battlefield for a long time, after all, he has experienced the pain of losing his wife, Wei Zifu has always been a little worried in his heart, and Huo Qu's illness is also the first campaign, Wei Shao'er is not less worried, and he will run to the palace every few days to inquire about the situation on the front line.

For two months, there was no new information, on this day, Wei Shao'er was chatting with Wei Zifu in the palace, and suddenly saw a small yellow door hurriedly running to the Jiaofang Palace, "Queen, great joy!" Exultation! Xiao Huangmen ran all the way out of breath, but he couldn't hide his excitement.

Wei Zifu and the young man got up and asked, "But there is good news ahead?" ”

Xiao Huangmen nodded vigorously, and after a long breath before he said: "Empress Qiyu, madam, Your Majesty has to be rewarded, the general won a great victory in this battle, and captured more than 10,000 Huns..." Before he finished speaking, Wei Shao'er hurriedly interjected: "What about my illness, our army has no casualties, right?" ”

Xiao Huangmen said with a smile: "I haven't congratulated Mrs. yet, the young son became famous in a battle, only led 800 elite horsemen into the desert for hundreds of miles, and annihilated more than 2,000 enemies, including Xiangguo and Danghu, and also captured Uncle Shan Yu, Your Majesty is full of praise there, praising our young son's newborn calf, bravely crowning the three armies!" ”

Wei Shao'er was overjoyed, but she couldn't believe it, and asked again and again, "Is what you said true?" Is it really my son Huo Qu's illness that he made this feat? ”

Xiao Huangmen congratulated and replied affirmatively: "It's really a young man!" Madam, is there a second Huo Qu in our Han Dynasty? ”

Hearing Xiao Huangmen's affirmative reply, Wei Shao'er cried with joy: "Queen, my illness, that's my illness..."

Xiao Huangmen was stunned for a moment, but he didn't know that the sentence was wrong and caused the queen's sister to cry, and he was panicking Wei Zifu and said to him: "Madam, this is crying with joy, you go back to Your Majesty, the palace knows it!" Hearing this, Xiao Huangmen finally settled down, answered the promise and retreated.

"Sister, look at you, this is a happy thing, why did you cry instead!" Wei Zifu patted Wei Shao'er's hand and said softly with a smile.

Wei Shao'er smiled with tears in her eyes: "I still can't believe it, come, queen, you pinch me, don't be my dream." ”

Wei Zifu laughed and said, "Sister, this is true!" It's a great achievement! Back then, Wei Qing led his troops to break the Huns to sacrifice to the heavens and holy land, and I couldn't believe the news when it came, but now you see, Qing'er has made great achievements over the years, and he is a general with heavy troops! ”

"Isn't it!" Wei Shao'er wiped her tears and said, "I have grown a lot with Wei Qing over the years, and now I have this achievement, which is also blessed by God!" ”

Wei Zifu nodded with a smile, pulled Wei Shao'er and said, "Sister, you can wait for Qing'er and go back from illness with peace of mind!" ”

"Hmm!" Wei Shao'er nodded, looked at the willow outside the hall, and looked forward to the glorious return of his son.

"Sister Yun Niang, is the queen here?" A small yellow door in the Jiaofang Hall hurriedly entered, Yun Niang recognized him as a personal eunuch who served Liu Che's daily life, and couldn't help asking: "The queen has a cough and has just taken medicine and slept down, but Your Majesty has something to find the queen?" ”

Xiao Huangmen nodded and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty asked the queen to go to Changmen Garden." ”

"Nagato Garden?" Yun Niang not only frowned, "You mean the Changmen Garden where the former Empress Chen lived?" ”

Xiao Huangmen nodded solemnly and continued: "Someone from Changmen Garden said that the Chen clan is afraid that it will not work after the abolition, please move Your Majesty." His Majesty is busy with government affairs, so please ask the Queen to handle it on her behalf. ”

Yun Niang pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, you wait a minute, then go and call the queen." Xiao Huangmen thanked him and waited on the side.

Outside the Nagato Garden, the grass is full of grass and bamboo. Although it is late spring and close to the official road, it is always an abandoned palace, in this season of warbler singing and dancing, the surrounding area is still overgrown with weeds, barren, and it seems more and more deserted here.

Chen Ajiao on the couch has long lost the brilliance of the year, since the witch curse was abolished and moved into the Changmen Palace, Gillian washed her face with tears all day long, depressed, and wanted to use the "Changmen Fu" to reconcile but was suspicious of Liu Che, and was angry with her mother Mrs. Dou. In addition, the death of Mrs. Dou a few years ago, the situation has deteriorated, and since the beginning of winter last year, his body has also deteriorated rapidly, so that he is riddled with diseases and cannot afford to be sick. The maidservant who was waiting saw that Gillian was getting worse and heavier, and she had run out of oil and dried up, so she didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly entered the palace to play Liu Che.

Although Gillian is terminally ill, she is very sober at this time, she remembers the past when she and Liu Che went around the bed to make green plums, and still remembers that Liu Che personally promised to build a golden house for her. She remembered that year's phoenix crown and xiawei, and it was also in such a twilight spring, she was a new wife and was inseparable from him. But where did the amorous young man go back then, why did he, who said that he wanted to hide Jiaojiao in the golden house, so ruthlessly left her alone in this cold and lonely Nagato Palace, leaving her alone and spending long nights alone?

Wei Zifu! The name that Gillian will never forget is Wei Zifu, it was she who snatched her favorite husband. Thinking of his decision back then, Gillian couldn't help but cry like rain, the depth of love will be hated, Liu Che, you don't love you as much as I love you after all!

Scenes from the past come to mind, as if they happened yesterday, and they are real. I only hate that time is no more, and it is difficult to turn back in love, thinking about the past, looking at the present, Gillian sighed, with regret and unwillingness, it was a long way to linger in this Changmen Garden, which was unbearable to hear.

"The queen, please come with the slaves!" The maid who went to the palace to report the news led Wei Zifu into the Changmen Garden, looking at the decadent and barren palace in front of him, Wei Zifu could think of what kind of life Gillian was living, and a burst of sadness couldn't help but come to his heart. How noble she was in the past, her mother was the eldest princess of the dynasty, her grandmother was the empress dowager, her uncle was the Ninety-Five, and her assigned husband was the future emperor of the Han Dynasty, how could she have expected the second half of her life to be so bleak at that time?

Wei Zifu moved all the way with the maid, and few people cleaned the hall, which was already a cobweb, and the vermilion paint was peeling off, and there was dusty loneliness everywhere. Turning to the inner room, the maid lowered his head and whispered: "Queen, the Chen family is inside after the abolition, please come with the slave and maid." ”

With that, he stretched out his hand and pushed the door. With a creak, there was a shadow of light in the dark room, and the maid who was waiting for Gillian turned around and bowed to Wei Zifu to say hello. Wei Zifu looked at everything in front of him, and he actually had a feeling of unreality, this weak and sickly woman in front of him was really the commanding and high-minded Empress Chen? If so, how can you be so old and depressed?

Hearing the sound of pushing the door, Gillian also opened her eyes and asked, "Is it Your Majesty?" But Your Majesty has come to see the palace? ”

The maidservant was silent and didn't dare to answer, so Wei Zifu stepped forward and said in a good voice: "Queen, it's the concubine Wei Zifu who has come to see you." ”

"What? Wei Zifu? Are you Wei Zifu? Gillian's eyes were originally gloomy, but when she heard this, there seemed to be a thousand fires in her eyes, and she said excitedly: "Wei Zifu, you slut, what are you doing here?" What about Liu Che, why didn't he come? Why not come? As if using all her strength, Gillian said hoarsely and struggling.

"Your Majesty... He... is diligent in state affairs, and he really has no time to doppelganger, so he asked the concubine to come over to see what the queen needs. Wei Zifu also struggled to finish his words in his heart, after all, they became husband and wife, even if she was not in the past, but in the end, she always had to come over and do her best in this life.

"Hmph... Diligent in state affairs... Ha ha... Hah..."Gillian closed her eyes and seemed to cry and laugh, "He asked you to come?" He actually asked you to come? Ha ha... Ha..."After a burst of crying and laughing, finally, tears from the corners of his eyes flowed down his cheeks.

Wei Zifu endured the throbbing in his heart, and comforted him with kind words: "Queen, you have to take care of your body!" ”

"Hahaha... Empress? What are you calling me? Empress? Gillian opened her eyes, stared at Wei Zifu, and said hatefully: "It's all because of you, Wei Zifu!" I, Chen Ajiao just ended up like this! You... You..."Gillian stretched out her hand with difficulty, pointed at Wei Zifu, and said word by word: "You remember, he... He can do this to me, always... Someday, he, too... And so it will be... To you! With that, his hand fell limply, and his eyes slowly closed.

Seeing Gillian pass away in a hurry, Wei Zifu felt a sadness in his heart, even if Gillian hated her so much, Wei Zifu still felt sorry for her, if it wasn't for his own entry into the palace, maybe the second half of her Chen Gillian life would not be so desolate. Wei Zifu raised his head, held back his tears, and said to the maidservant in a deep voice for a while: "Quickly inform Your Majesty, Empress Chen..." Yun Niang stepped forward and silently supported Wei Zifu and walked out slowly with her.

----

After the abolition of Chen Ajiao's death did not cause any waves, since the death of Tangyi Marquis Chen Wu and Dou Taizhu one after another, the title of Tangyi Marquis was inherited by the eldest son Chen Jixu, Chen Jixu was already too busy to take care of himself, and he ignored Chen Ajiao, so even her burial was simple and hurried. In such a hurry that even her life did not seem to leave any trace, and no one grieved for her departure, time flowed slowly, as if she had never been in this world.

But Wei Zifu has always had inexplicable sadness in his heart, if it is because of Chen Ajiao, he and her are only unbearable and have no kindness, where does the sadness come from? If it wasn't because of her, why would I feel sorry for her?

In the sleepless night, she also thought that maybe the sadness in her heart came from the emperor who is now high above, the young man who was a childhood sweetheart with Chen Ajiao, and the love of the husband and wife who had no guesses about the two little ones could not withstand the emperor's coolness. And she, Wei Zifu, will she also be as Gillian said, and in the future, he will treat each other so coldly? Wei Zifu didn't want to think about it, but this thought kept haunting her, and it suddenly disturbed her in the long night. She laughed at herself if she thought too much, after all, there was no blood bond between them, and she and he had Jue'er sisters, and there was evidence...

This inexplicable sorrow did not last long, because the army returned to the court. Yes, there is also Wei Qing and Huo Quzhi, they are the pillars of the Han Dynasty and her relatives, and they are all back!
