The light in the hall is getting darker and darker, and the sunlight at the entrance of the hall is also shifting a little bit, until it disappears completely, and the palace maid in a light gauze skirt also began to light candles in the hall, but the light in the hall is still very dim, Li Zhang and Zhao Zhen are sitting on one side and thinking about their hearts, Miao Yuan is face is worried, looking at Li Zhang and Zhao Zhen from time to time, but he doesn't know how to persuade.

"The Queen Mother is awake!" At this moment, I suddenly saw Luo Chongxun rushing over, and shouted with a look of surprise, which shocked everyone in the hall, and they all stood up at the moment.

"Can I see the eldest lady now?" Miao Yuan was the first to ask.

"Not for the time being, the Queen Mother has just woken up, and she is still very weak, but the Queen Mother will definitely have some orders later." Luo Chongxun immediately shook his head and said, he was also worried about this day, for fear that Liu E would not wake up, fortunately now that he has finally woken up, although he is still very weak, but it also reassures him a lot.

Li Zhang also sighed when he heard this, and then Luo Chongxun walked in quickly, and after waiting for about half an hour, he saw Luo Chongxun come out with a sad face and said: "Niangniang, please Your Majesty and Li Duwei to go in, and send a decree to invite Lu Xiang and others to enter the palace to discuss matters!" ”

Hearing Luo Chongxun's later words, Li Zhang and Zhao Zhen were all pale, because unless it was time to die, Liu E would not invite Lu Yijian and others into the palace, in other words, Liu E invited Lu Yijian and others into the palace at this time, most likely to confess his last words.

Thinking of the above, the joy of Liu E's awakening just now also dissipated, and the atmosphere in the hall became heavy again, Li Zhang and Zhao Zhen glanced at each other, and then the two walked silently to the inner hall, when they entered the room, they saw Liu E, who had been thin into a handful of bones, lying on the bed weakly, and there was no blood on her face, if she was not a particularly familiar person, I am afraid that she would not be able to recognize her as the Empress Dowager of the Great Song Dynasty who was the mother of the world.

"Big Lady!" Zhao Zhen finally couldn't help shedding tears at this time, and quickly stepped forward to grab Liu E's hand, although he had hatred in his heart, but after all, he had been a mother and son with Liu E for so many years, and seeing Liu E at this time when he was dying, it also made him temporarily let go of the hatred in his heart.

Hearing Zhao Zhen call herself the eldest lady again, this made Liu E on the hospital bed also show a somewhat relieved smile, and then saw her hesitate for a moment before she said softly: "Your Majesty doesn't have to be sad, I'm afraid the body of the mourning family will not be able to do it, and I will no longer be able to help you share the government in the future, and the burden of this thousands of miles of rivers and mountains will be picked up by you alone!" ”

"Big lady, I'm ......" Zhao Zhen also said with tears in his eyes when he heard this, but he was choked up and couldn't make a sound, he is an extremely emotional person, even if Liu E has done many things to be sorry for him, but he still can't blame Liu E at this time, after all, no matter what, Liu E is also the one who raised him single-handedly.

Facing the sad Zhao Zhen, Liu E smiled very indifferently, and then beckoned to Li Zhang, so Li Zhang also stepped forward immediately, and then saw Liu E raise his hand and grab Li Zhang, and then put him and Zhao Zhen's hands together and said: "Your Majesty, I know that you and Zhang'er have had some misunderstandings, and Zhang'er didn't tell you some things, but after I leave, you will understand that Zhang'er is one of the people in the world who thinks about you in the world, and for this he even did not hesitate to anger me many times......"

"Big lady, don't talk about the past, you can recuperate with peace of mind, and you will definitely get better!" Before Liu E finished speaking, Li Zhang's eyes were slightly red and interrupted her.

"No, you're going to let me finish talking!" Liu E took a breath at this time and insisted, after speaking, she turned her head to look at Zhao Zhen again and said, "Your Majesty, Zhang'er is knowledgeable and capable, and he is a rare talent, he has made great achievements many times, but the mourning family does not have too many rewards, in order to leave him to you, and with him to assist you in the future, the mourning family can leave with confidence." ”

"The eldest lady is working hard, and the sons and daughters all understand!" Zhao Zhen said with tears in his eyes again at this time, when he said this, the scenes of getting along with Liu E when he was a child flashed in his mind, and what Liu E had taught him over the years, which also made him even more grief-stricken.

After telling Zhao Zhen, Liu E also turned to Li Zhang at this time, and took a heavy breath a few times before accumulating some strength and said: "Zhang'er, you grew up with Your Majesty, and your relationship is the deepest, and you also know his character, sometimes he is too kind, which is not a good thing for an emperor, so I will trouble you to remind Your Majesty more in the future!" ”

"Don't worry, Your Majesty is a benevolent monarch, this is not a shortcoming, but a blessing for the people of my Great Song Dynasty." Li Zhang also said very sadly at the moment, Liu E is obviously explaining the future now, although he already had a premonition before, but when this matter came, it still made him a little unacceptable.

Liu E smiled when she heard Li Zhang's words, and wanted to open her mouth to say something, but because she had consumed too much strength before, she was unable to speak again for a while, which made Li Zhang and Zhao Zhen also hurriedly persuade her to take a rest, at this time, the imperial doctor also sent a decoction, and Zhao Zhen personally fed Liu E to take it, but Liu E seemed to have difficulty even swallowing, and most of the bowl of medicine was vomited outside.

After Liu E took the medicine, Lu Yijian and others also hurried here, Liu E seemed to be in a strong spirit at this time, and made arrangements for some things in the court, and even did not shy away from his own funeral, asking him to be buried with Emperor Zhenzong after his death, to which Zhao Zhen also nodded and agreed.

After explaining the aftermath, Liu E's spirit was even worse, and even sometimes she had to pause for a while, and the brilliance in her eyes became darker and darker, everyone knew that Liu E was dying, and she could leave at any time, and Zhao Zhen and Li Zhang were also getting more and more sad, especially Zhao Zhen was lying on Liu E's bed and crying bitterly.

But at this moment, I suddenly saw Liu E's eyes widen again, reached out and grabbed Zhao Zhen's hand, and asked again, "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, don't cry, you said that after the death of the mourning family, how will future generations evaluate the mourning family? ”

Zhao Zhen also stopped his grief at this time, but he didn't know how to answer Liu E's question, so he could only wipe his tears and look at Li Zhang, Lu Yijian and others, but Lu Yijian's ministers looked embarrassed, Liu E has merit, of course, she has done a lot of wrong things, and her life is too exciting, it is not easy to evaluate her.

"The eldest lady is a legend in her life, if you really want to evaluate the eldest lady, I have ten words here!" I saw that Li Zhang hesitated for a moment at this time, and then stepped forward and said.

"Where...... What ten words! Liu E stretched out her hand and pointed at Li Zhang and asked eagerly, her time was running out, and even she could feel that her life was passing rapidly, and she was about to come to the end of this life.

"There is Lu Wu's talent!"

As soon as Li Zhang said the first five words, everyone's faces changed, although many people in private compared Liu E to Empress Lu and Empress Wu, but they never dared to say it in front of Liu E, after all, the reputation of these two women is not very good, and even Liu E's eyes widened when she heard Li Zhang's words.

"There is no evil of Lu Wu!" Li Zhang then said the remaining five words, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, although Lu Pheasant and Wu Cao had a bad reputation, no one dared to deny the talent of these two women, otherwise they would not be in charge of a huge empire alone.

"There is the talent of Lu Wu, but there is no evil of Lu Wu! Good! Good...... cough~" Liu E also showed a stretched smile at this time, and repeated these two sentences at the moment, but at the end, it brought out a violent cough, and Zhao Zhen also hurriedly stepped forward to help her pat her back, but Liu E coughed more and more, and finally suddenly rolled her eyes and fainted again.

"Imperial Doctor! Tell the Imperial Doctor! Zhao Zhen shouted anxiously, Li Zhang and the others were also anxious, fortunately the imperial doctor was here, and immediately a few imperial doctors came to diagnose and treat Liu E, but these imperial doctors were frowning, and they could treat general incurable diseases, but in the case of Liu E, it was already on the verge of dying, and it was really beyond the reach of manpower to take his life.

Looking at Liu E, who fell into a coma again, Li Zhang next to him also sighed, although he gave Liu E two comments, and many people in later generations also said that these two comments were the best evaluation of Liu E's life, but Li Zhang knew that Liu E was not without Lu Wu's evil, after all, whether it was "The Picture of the Emperor Wu", or Liu E's trip to the Taimiao, these things actually showed that Liu E was ambitious, but she still did not take action in the end, which is also related to her lifespan, if Liu E is given a few more years, I am afraid that the future development will be difficult to predict.

Li Zhang, Zhao Zhen and others stayed here all night, and Liu E woke up once in the middle, but at this time she was speechless, but she was still very conscious, and even pulled Zhao Zhen's clothes and pointed at herself, and then passed out again.

And Liu E never woke up after this coma, and in the early morning of the next day, the once powerful Empress Dowager finally finished her life, and when the imperial doctor announced Liu E's death, Zhao Zhen also cried into a tearful person, and Li Zhang also couldn't help crying.

However, after Zhao Zhen cried bitterly, Lu Yijian immediately stepped forward to persuade Zhao Zhen to take Liu E's future as the priority, and Zhao Zhen also wiped her tears at this time and said: "When the eldest lady woke up for the last time just now, she seemed to have something to say, but she just pointed to herself and couldn't say it, I don't know what the eldest lady means?" ”

Hearing Zhao Zhen's words, Lu Yijian and the others were silent, but in the end, it was Xue Kui, the third secretary, who stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister saw that the Queen Mother had been pulling His Majesty's clothes when she woke up, and she also pointed to her own clothes, which made the Minister find that the Queen Mother was still wearing a gown, I think the Queen Mother should want to ask Her Majesty to remove her gown, otherwise how to meet the ancestors of the Great Song Dynasty?" ”

However, as soon as Xue Kui's words fell, Li Zhang suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Xue Jixiang's words are wrong, I thought the Queen Mother's meaning was just the opposite!" ”
