Night is approaching, the lanterns that have been hung in the capital have been lit with dazzling flames, under the brilliant starry sky, as far as the eye can see, the whole capital is not ordinary splendor.

On this night, the whole capital was filled with the cheers of the people, they sprinkled the bride price to the emperor, and the royal nobles and ministers stood on the high platform of the Gongfu city wall to see the people's joy.

In addition, the palace also opened the palace door and divided a larger area for the interested people to enter and play, and it was also full of food and wine made by senior chefs, so that the people who came to taste it for free and enjoy it with the emperor. Of course, the people were not allowed to bring the slightest suspicious item into the country, and in order to maintain law and order, the soldiers also tightened control.

Soon the whole capital sounded with the sound of fireworks, colorful, and the brilliant starry sky added a new layer of bright colors.

The queen mother, the emperor, and the queen sat on the same throne, and they enjoyed food and fireworks with their subordinates. Empress Dowager Xiao also had a smooth time with the founding prince and the daughter-in-law of Xin'er

Wine, the three of them talked and laughed. For a moment, Li Jianguo and Gao Yang Yanxin had forgotten the ministers behind them, relieved the sorrow in their hearts, and enjoyed themselves together.

But the good times didn't last long, and soon a soldier came to the bad news.

"Oh no, the Queen Mother, it's not good, just in the Fang Cai Shou Palace, a fire suddenly ignited, the fire was huge, and the subordinates had notified the people of the water dragon to go to extinguish the fire and save people, but even so, the intense smoke had already stunned Concubine Xiao."

The Queen Mother was the most anxious, she stood up first, and asked anxiously

"How could the palace where the concubine lived suddenly catch fire?" ”

"The subordinates don't know exactly what the fire started, but now the candle flame in this palace is blown down, and the fire ignites in an instant, but fortunately, the Praetorian Guards risked death to save her and sent her to the hospital."

Empress Dowager Xiao knew that it was useless to say anything now, so she sighed, "The little sister of the mourning family was already infected with asthma, and now she is unconscious by the fire, and now the tense is urgent, and the mourning family has no way to carry out this banquet." ”

"Emperor, you and Xin'er immediately beat the drum to announce the end of today's banquet, go to the North Palace to recuperate, and personally pass on the Southern Prime Minister Gao Yangduan to find out the ins and outs of this matter."

"But the queen mother, the sons are worried about your safety" Li Jianguo grabbed the queen mother again, and his eyes revealed a lot of worries.

But the embarrassment of the queen mother was more than a hundred times, and the anxious hard work made her cheeks instantly turn red, and the burning heart smoked out of the whole body sweat: "But the little sister of the mourning family is already in danger, and the mourning family suddenly feels that I, the imperial sister, have not cared about her for a long time." She shook her head with regret.

Then she turned around without hesitation, and for the first time put on a fierce posture of the queen mother: "You ministers present."

, don't hurry to extinguish the fire. ”

Before Li Jianguo could react, he was "dragged" by Gao Yang Yanxin next to the drum, and along the way, Gao Yang Yanxin only cared about holding Jianguo tightly and ignoring the eyes of outsiders. Her sadness is hidden deep in her heart, revealing only a dull and innocent look.

Her pace was as fast as the wind, and the moment they reached the drumstick, they clenched their drumsticks, and in order to vent the sorrow and sorrow in their hearts, and some painful scriptures that even they did not know, their weak hands were suddenly full of energy, and after looking at each other affectionately, they knocked down fiercely.

The drums were made of iron, so the sound of the drums was so loud that most of the soldiers already knew the inside story, and the generals who were in the city of Shou Xiao Palace, as soon as they heard the sound of the drums, immediately informed their subordinates, and quickly sent an order, "Announcing that the emperor has announced the cessation of the banquet because of the incident, and let all the people in the capital leave the venue immediately without delay." ”

The people were stunned all at once, and began to discuss with their friends who had left on the same road.

"Why did you say that the banquet had suddenly stopped? What a rare time for the emperor to enjoy with the people! ”

"Brother, you didn't hear it just now, it was because of the emperor that the banquet was stopped, if there was no major incident, how could the emperor stop the banquet?"

"But because the emperor's birthday is an auspicious day, how can it happen......?"

Before he finished speaking, the brother next to him kicked himself and said in a low voice: "I just saw the official behind me and was about to keep an eye on us, let's go home quickly." You must know that if you talk about royal affairs privately, you will be killed. But besides, we are just civilians, and it will be too late to regret it when the time comes. ”

Empress Dowager Xiao hurriedly rushed to the front, the entourage of the palace maid obviously couldn't keep up with her pace, all of a sudden, the hot sweat soaked all over her body, she picked up the rag and wiped it constantly, and also muttered to the little sister: "You must not do anything, the eldest sister will come to see you soon, little sister, you must not torture your sister." ”

But who knows? Empress Dowager Xiao suddenly made a serious sleepiness, she involuntarily came to cover her forehead, "The head of the mourning family, how can it suddenly ......" The words were not finished, and the palace maid who followed had not yet caught up, but the Empress Dowager Xiao had already fallen down the stairs, and her head hit the stone buttress, and suddenly her head broke and bled out, and her blood fell drop by drop, and it was cheap to the bride price.

The palace maids who followed them, they were all loyal to the Queen Mother, they were completely frightened, and shouted: "The Queen Mother! Of course, most insiders are naturally unavoidable.

"Queen Mother......" This is a heart-rending roar, Li Jianguo saw this scene and went completely crazy. The slaves and maids did not dare to touch the queen mother's phoenix body privately, and they all knelt beside them.

Li Jianguo hugged his mother's body and cried sadly: "Mother, how can you wake up quickly, don't scare your sons, wake up quickly." Li Jianguo shook his mother's body several times, but she never responded.

Li Jianguo didn't have time to think about it, so he picked up his mother and rushed to Qianshou Palace, sending an order all the way: "Order the imperial doctor to wait in Qianshou Palace, announce it quickly." ”

After arriving, Li Jianguo carefully placed the Queen Mother on the phoenix bed, and ordered Imperial Doctor Zhuang to quickly investigate the condition.

Imperial Physician Zhuang couldn't say much, he quickly knelt in front of the Queen Mother's bed, the Imperial Physician carefully looked at the Queen Mother's injuries, and after carefully checking the pulse, he was discouraged and told the emperor, "The Queen Mother has suffered a serious blow to the head, and her qi is very weak, but Weichen will definitely do his best, just afraid of ......" Imperial Doctor Zhuang sighed and slowed down for a while.

"Afraid of what?" Li Jianguo shook and asked.

"I'm afraid that even if Weichen can save the Queen Mother's life, the Queen Mother will eventually be paralyzed in bed and will no longer be able to govern the court." As he spoke, Imperial Physician Zhuang began to cry and kowtowed heavily: "Emperor Chao!" ”

Li Jianguo froze suddenly, he shook back and shook his body for a moment, "How can this be?" After a while, he began to frantically tug at the sleeve of the bed doctor, "Doctor Zhuang, I beg you, I must let my mother live safely, I can give you countless silver, I beg you to let my mother live safely." There was only pitiful pleading in his eyes, and there was longing in his tears. There was no trace of the angry eyes and threatening tone that the emperor should have. At this moment, Li Jianguo unexpectedly heard the call of the queen mother: "Don't embarrass the imperial doctor...... Li Jianguo quickly let go of the imperial doctor, and gently held the queen's hands,,, "The queen mother, please rest assured, the sons will not be embarrassed for him." You must get better as soon as possible, the son still has a lot to say to the queen mother! ”

Empress Dowager Xiao endured the pain, slowly stretched out her hand, and touched the cheek of the Lord Jianguo weakly, "Don't cry the emperor, laugh." ”

Li Jianguo took a breath of bitterness, held back his tears, and let out a hoarse cry. His dim smile was unusually bright in the eyes of the queen mother.

"Emperor, you don't have to be so sad, after all! After all, the mourning family is not the mourning family, your mother! ”

Li Jianguo looked embarrassed, "What are you talking nonsense, queen mother, you are the biological mother of Erchen, and you will always be." After taking a few breaths, he continued to beg bitterly: "The queen mother, you must get better as soon as possible, the emperor must learn to protect himself well from now on, as long as you get well safely, even if you can't always be by the side of the son......"

"Silly emperor, even if the queen mother can never be by her mother's side, you have to learn to protect yourself."

At this moment, the eunuch who rushed into the hall came with a burst of bad news: "The imperial concubine is in the sky." ”

After hearing this, the Empress Dowager Xiao no longer cried, but smiled slightly: "I saw that this is fate, but God has not treated the mourning family badly, it can allow the mourning family to step on the Huangquan Road at the same time as the little sister, accompany each other, take care of each other, and the mourning family is already satisfied." ”

Li Jianguo shook his head desperately, "No, ......"

"You are really the emperor of the mourning family, please forgive the queen mother for not being by your side. Because you still have Xin'er and Xuanchun to accompany you, and the mourning family has made the concubine lonely enough before her death, and the mourning family can't let him continue to be lonely on Huangquan Road. But the emperor, you must live well, don't learn from the mourning family and the two emperors to correctly grasp their own destiny, don't come nonsense, the last ray of hope of the mourning family is pinned on the emperor, don't forget that the people of the world need you, and the happiness of Xin'er and Xuanchun needs you. Saying this, the phoenix hand collapsed on the bed, and his breath was cut off in an instant.

"Queen Mother!" Li Jianguo roared in the sky.

The subordinates beside him had all knelt down with tears in their eyes, and a eunuch who served the Queen Mother shouted loudly: "The Queen Mother, she has died!"

The old saint who lived far away in the holy mountain of Yigang was also recuperating for a while, pinching her fingers to anticipate the unbearable situation of the two dynasties, a leaf fell to the ground slightly, and she suddenly opened her eyes, "The situation of the Northern Xia and Chu dynasties is about to change dramatically, and it is time for you to dance the moon." ”

"Auntie, you mean, the storm under the troubled times is about to set off."
