Another year of winter is coming, the palace is getting colder and colder, Li Zhang and Zhao Zhen hurriedly walked through the palace, and finally came to the Baoci Hall where Liu E lived, the vertical arch hall is where Liu E deals with government affairs, and the Baoci Hall is the queen mother's bedroom, but Liu E rarely lives here, and most of the time is tired of dealing with government affairs in the vertical arch hall, so he simply rests there.

"Your Majesty, what did the imperial doctor say?" Li Zhang asked Zhao Zhen as he walked, this morning, Li Zhang was about to go to martial arts, and suddenly received the news that Liu E was seriously ill, which made him enter the palace immediately, but the inner palace was not a place where he could enter and exit at will, fortunately, Zhao Zhen was prepared, and first sent someone to take him to the Funing Palace, and then the two rushed to the Baoci Hall together.

"It's very serious, last night the eldest lady suddenly fell ill, although the imperial doctor tried his best to rescue, but now the eldest lady is still in a coma, I stayed there for most of the night, and only returned to the palace this morning to rest for a while." Zhao Zhen said with a tired face at this time.

Li Zhang's heart sank again when he heard this, Liu E's age was not young, plus she had to deal with a lot of government affairs every day, and she usually didn't even have time to rest, which also seriously damaged her health, and she had already been seriously ill once when she went to Liaoguo before, and this time it was likely to be a recurrence of the old disease, which would only be more serious.

After a while, Li Zhang and Zhao Zhen finally came to the Baoci Palace, and before they entered it, they smelled a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine, and there were many people waiting in the hall, including Concubine Yang, Empress Zhang and others, and even Miao Yuan was here, but Li Zhang was inconvenient to greet these people, so he could only stand behind Zhao Zhen honestly.

"Is the lady awake?" Zhao Zhen quickly stepped forward and asked Concubine Yang, he wanted to stay here before, but Concubine Yang was afraid that he would be too tired and fall ill, so he let him go back and rest for a while anyway, after all, now that Liu E is sick, if Zhao Zhen falls ill again, then Da Song Ke will really be in chaos.

"Not yet, but the imperial doctor said that the condition has stabilized, and my sister may wake up at any time." Concubine Yang replied softly at this time.

Hearing Concubine Yang's words, Li Zhang and Zhao Zhen were also relieved, and then they saw the imperial doctor coming out of it, so the two of them immediately stepped forward to inquire about Liu E's illness, and it was not as Li Zhang expected, Liu E This is a recurrence of the old disease, and it is related to her usual overwork, plus she was depressed at the end, which led to the recurrence of the disease.

Li Zhang also sighed secretly after listening to the introduction of the imperial doctor, Liu E's mood was depressed, naturally it was related to the fire that day, in fact, since that day, Liu E's spirit has been reduced by half, and the whole person is much older, plus he has to bear a heavy burden of government affairs every day, even young people may not be able to stand it.

"Wake up, the Queen Mother is awake!" At this moment, I suddenly saw a palace maid running out of the room with a happy face, which made Li Zhang and them all show a happy look, Zhao Zhen was the first to step in, Li Zhang also wanted to enter, but in the end he still didn't follow in, after all, without Liu E's summons, it was really inconvenient for him to go in.

However, just after Zhao Zhen entered, he saw that the great eunuch Luo Chongxun came out to invite Li Zhang in, so Li Zhang stepped into Liu E's dormitory, which was also the first time he came here.

After entering the dormitory, Li Zhang also quickly saw Liu E on the hospital bed, but at this time, Liu E's face was white and scary, and the wrinkles on her face were deeper.

"See the Queen Mother!" Li Zhang immediately saluted Liu E after coming in.

Hearing Li Zhang's voice, Liu E's half-closed eyes slowly opened and glanced at him, and then said in a weak voice: "Don't be polite, you can sit down too!" ”

Li Zhang was not polite, he found a chair to sit next to Zhao Zhen at the moment, only to see Liu E gasping for a few breaths at this time, and seemed to have accumulated some strength before he spoke again: "Just now the mourning family has told Your Majesty that he will temporarily act as the agent for government affairs during this time, Li Zhang, although your position is not high, but you are the most trusted person of Your Majesty, if there is anything in the future, you will also do your best to assist Your Majesty!" ”

"Don't worry, Li Zhang will not let the Queen Mother down!" Li Zhang's eyes were also slightly red at this time, he knew that Liu E was actually explaining the future in advance, although she is awake now, but God knows if she can carry it, if she leaves, then Zhao Zhen can naturally take over the imperial power, and Li Zhang is Liu E's helper left by Zhao Zhen.

In fact, Li Zhang also knows that Liu E has been suppressing herself in the past few years, even if she has made meritorious contributions, there is no big reward, this is not only because Li Zhang knows Zhao Zhen's life experience, but also Liu E also plans to leave Li Zhang to Zhao Zhen, after all, if she rewards Li Zhang too much, Zhao Zhen will be in power in the future, I am afraid that Li Zhang will not be rewarded, which is not a good thing for Li Zhang and Zhao Zhen.

Hearing Li Zhang's words, Liu E also nodded lightly, and then looked at Zhao Zhen and said, "Your Majesty, the mourning family has been unwilling to return to you in the past few years, you must be resentful, right?" ”

"Don't think about it, Erchen has never resented the eldest lady!" Zhao Zhen also said with tears in his eyes at this time, although there were differences between him and Liu E, but in his opinion, Liu E was his mother after all, and now seeing her appearance, Zhao Zhen, who has always valued feelings, also felt like a knife.

Hearing Zhao Zhen's words, Liu E showed a weak smile, and after a while, she spoke again: "Your Majesty, you have been a benevolent person since you were a child, and the mourning family believes in you, but it is precisely because of this that the mourning family has always been worried that you will not be able to suppress the ministers in the court, so they have always refused to let you take over government affairs." ”

When he said this, he saw Liu E pause for a moment and then said: "But now the mourning family's body is not good, you also have to learn to deal with government affairs, what is there to discuss with the ministers, but the ministers' words cannot be trusted, these people have their own interests behind them, you have to learn to know how to distinguish, if you really don't know how to decide, just discuss it with Zhang'er, he will definitely not be deceived by others like that!" ”

"Erchen knows, don't say any more, take a rest, your illness will definitely be better." Zhao Zhen persuaded again with tears in his eyes at this time, and Li Zhang, who was next to him, also felt a sour nose when he heard this, and tears welled up.

I saw that Liu E stopped for a while after saying the above words, and then suddenly opened her eyes and said again: "In addition, I have a wish that has not been fulfilled, I hope Your Majesty can promise me!" ”
