(Today's fifth watch, the second watch)

100,000 Han troops set off from Xuzhou to return to Luoyang, the trip lasted for three days, Liu Xie was in a carriage, basically with Diao Chan, and occasionally called Lu Qiling to come up and sit for a while.

However, most of the time, Lu Qiling still regarded herself as a slave.

Since Liu Xie got Diao Chan, he was simply fascinated by her and indulged in her every day.

The title of peerless red face is by no means covered, and the 1-year-old Diao Chan can still fascinate the 16-year-old little emperor.

In the blink of an eye, he returned to Luoyang on the third day, and Wang Yun and hundreds of officials greeted him at the east gate.

After taking the car, Wang Yun said: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has been waiting for you, you should go and take a look." ”

"How is she?" Liu Xie's heart sank, and he had a bad feeling.

Wang Yun said: "The Empress Dowager is seriously ill, in order not to affect your conquest and not let you tell you about her condition, she has been waiting for you to go back to see her for the last time." ”

When Liu Xie heard this, he panicked at that time, and he didn't care about anything, so he ran towards the North Palace, followed by many guards.

When I felt the Dong family's dormitory, when the Dong family was already dying, today I suddenly became refreshed, and when I saw Liu Xie coming closer, I excitedly stretched out my hand and said: "Xie'er, my good Xie'er, is it you?" ”

Liu Xie knelt in front of the couch and said: "Imperial grandmother, I am your Xie'er, your Xie'er has won the battle and returned to recover Cao Cao and Lu Bu, so as to collect a large number of generals and strategists." ”

Dong said: "Very good, very good." Xie'er has a future, and the mourning family is relieved. ”

Liu Xie said: "The imperial grandmother is recuperating well, and you will be able to report to your great-grandson in the coming year." ”

Dong smiled gloomily and said, "The mourning family may not be able to wait for that day, Xie'er, try to live." The mourners always believe that you are the best emperor. After the mourning family leaves, the funeral should be simple, and filial piety should not exceed half a year. Xie'er wants to accept Yan'er or Zou's, no matter who it is, it's okay. ”

Dong's voice became lower and lower, and Liu Xie cried: "Imperial grandmother, you will be fine, believe me, okay?" I have a miracle doctor, Hua Tuo, he can bring the dead back to life, imperial grandmother, imperial grandmother......"

Dong was silent, and the last trace of his gleam disappeared.

In Luoyang in August, the rain poured and the sky was dark.

The imperial physician checked it and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has been mourned." ”

"Imperial Grandmother!" Liu Xie cried, everyone inside and outside the house knelt and cried, and the entire North Palace was gloomy.

Dong finally waited for Liu Xie, saw the last face, and left with peace of mind.

Liu Xie was very sad, and the Dong family was his only relative in this world.

Although Liu Wei is also related to him, he never regards Liu Wei as his brother.

Yan Er knelt beside her and cried: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is walking very peacefully, you are mourning." ”

Liu Xie looked at Yan'er, and saw that Yan'er's expression was still good, indicating that her poison had been resolved.

According to Dong's last wishes, the zombies were simple, and Dong was also buried in the imperial mausoleum, all officials, and the inner palace Dai Xiao for three days.

The Empress Dowager died, and she originally needed to keep filial piety for three years, but Dong knew that such words would affect his grandson's expeditionary plans, so he specially explained that filial piety should not exceed half a year.

Therefore, Liu Xie issued an edict that he would not go on the expedition within half a year, and wrote a letter to Yuan Shaojun's Liu Defense Office to inform him of this matter, as for whether he could come to the funeral, it is unknown.

Diao Chan and Lu Qiling were temporarily placed in Cai Yan in Yuefu, and the Yan family really became a monk. Other generals and their families have their own placements, and they are not in China.

Xiahou Ling's arrow wound has healed and serves as a guard in the inner house.

At night, Liu Xie asked Yan'er to come to bed, and slept on the bed, the two of them didn't do anything, just lay silently, Yan'er said: "Your Majesty, I miss the imperial grandmother so much." ”

Liu Xie also missed, he couldn't imagine that the Dong family would leave him like this, hugging Yan'er, Yan'er cried in his arms, "If it weren't for the imperial grandmother, Yan'er wouldn't have survived to this day." ”

Dong saved Yan'er, and Yan'er made great contributions to Liu Xie's rise, which is the so-called cause and effect.

The two of them lay on the bed and couldn't sleep for a long time.

Due to the mourning period, you can't have sex for a month to prevent collision with the undead. So within a month, Liu Xie was with Yan'er and didn't go to the other concubines.

Within a month, Liu Xie asked about Xiahou Ling. When Yan'er first learned that her child had been beaten, she was so sad and angry that she almost didn't go to death.

In order to save Liu Xie, Xiahou Ling blocked an arrow, returned to Luoyang to recuperate from her injuries, and met Yan'er. When Yan'er saw her for the first time, she couldn't wait to kill her with her own hands, but in the later relationship, Xiahou Ling also sincerely repented, not only to recuperate her injuries, but also to serve Yan'er wholeheartedly, and slowly the two of them let go of their previous suspicions.

Yan'er said to Liu Xie: "If it weren't for her sake of blocking arrows for you, the concubine would have to slaughter her with her own hands!" ”

Liu Xie said: "Doctor Hua specially explained that you can't get pregnant within three years. ”

Yan Er's expression was gloomy: "The concubine knows, for the sake of Your Majesty, and for myself, three years will be three years, the concubine can wait." ”

"It's going to be hard for you."

"Your Majesty," Yan Er said, "for the sake of the child, the concubine plans not to go with you for three years." Wait until you have a child and then go into battle to kill the enemy, please ask Your Majesty's permission. ”

"Yan'er can do whatever she wants."

Three days after Dong's burial, Liu Xie came to Cai Yan in Nangong, only to see that Cai Yan was also haggard, and knelt down with Diao Chan and others to greet him: "The courtiers see Your Majesty." ”

Liu Xie said: "Auntie, please get up quickly, I was very sad when I heard that Zhongdao had passed away, but unfortunately I couldn't come to mourn in person when I went on the expedition." ”

Cai Yan said: "The courtiers have come out of their grief, but Your Majesty wants to mourn and change." Your Majesty, the compilation of the courtiers' Changle Weiyang may be delayed for a while. ”

"It's okay," Liu Xie said, "Changle Weiyang was originally to be compiled in a happy mood, and if your mentality is not adjusted well, what is forcibly compiled is definitely not perfect." So when you're in a good mood, you can continue to compile when you want, you think it's good. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Cai Yan said, "The courtiers recently sorted out Changle Weiyang and finalized its first movement. ”

Liu Xie asked curiously, "Oh? What is the first movement? ”

Cai Yan said: "From the birth of His Majesty to the accession to the throne, this is the first movement, and the draft has been completed. The second movement is being compiled from His Majesty's accession to the throne until His Majesty's wedding. ”

Liu Xie nodded: "Auntie is attentive." ”

looked back at Diao Chan and said, "How is Aunt Diao Chan doing here in Cai Mansion?" ”

Diao Chan said: "Back to Your Majesty, Lord Cai is very good here." ”

Liu Xie said: "During the mourning period of the imperial grandmother, I originally had to keep filial piety for three years, and the imperial grandmother could explain it for half a year, so my aunt lived here for half a year in Cai's mansion." When the half-year filial piety period expires, I will take you to the North Palace. ”

Diao Chan said: "But it is up to Your Majesty to dispose of it." ”
