Li Zhang was about to leave, but he didn't expect to be stopped, when he turned around, he found that it was Prime Minister Lu Yijian who stopped him, which made him stunned, and then smiled politely: "I don't know why Prime Minister Lu called the official office?" ”

I saw Lu Yijian first say goodbye to the people around him, and then he pulled Li Zhang to a no-man's land and said: "Li Duwei, you were locked up in Zongzheng Temple before, and the old man also pleaded with the Queen Mother many times, but unfortunately the Queen Mother's anger has not subsided, and the old man is also powerless!" ”

"There's Lao Lu Xiang bothered!" Li Zhang immediately smiled and saluted when he heard this, but he also felt a little strange at this time, because he had already been released, why did Lu Yijian mention the original incident at this time, could it be said that he just let himself accept his favor?

For Li Zhang's thanks, Lu Yijian hurriedly smiled again: "Li Duwei doesn't have to be polite, I warned you at the beginning to let you not be too impatient, but unfortunately I didn't think you were still involved." ”

Li Zhang also smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said helplessly: "At that time, the incident happened suddenly, and I had no choice but to bite the bullet, but thank you Lu for the reminder!" ”

Facing Li Zhang's second thanks, Lu Yijian also showed a somewhat satisfied smile at this time, and then reached out and patted him on the shoulder and said: "Actually, although you have been under house arrest for a period of time this time, it is not necessarily a bad thing, and in the half a year that you have been in Liao, there has actually been an incident in the court, and you may not know it when you just came back." ”

"Oh? What's up? Li Zhang finally cheered up when he heard this, he could feel that Lu Yijian's call to stop himself was mainly related to what he wanted to say, otherwise he would be a prime minister, and he would never stop himself in order to remember his previous kindness.

Sure enough, I saw Lu Yijian turn his head again at this time and look left and right, and then he lowered his voice and said: "Li Duwei, you don't know, not long after you left the capital, the Queen Mother also suddenly fell ill, although the palace blocked the news, but after all, you can't hide it from someone with a heart." ”

Li Zhang was also shocked when he heard this, and looked at Lu Yijian at the moment, and only after a while did he ask: "How is the Queen Mother's body now, has she recovered?" ”

Hearing that Li Zhang actually asked Liu E's physical condition first, this made Lu Yijian also stunned, and then replied: "It should be okay now, it's just the Queen Mother's illness, but the impact is not small, the court looks calm now, but in fact, it is turbulent, Li Duwei has just come back, and he should be careful in the future!" ”

Li Zhang was silent for a moment when he heard this, and then he saluted Lu Yijian and said, "Thank you Lu Xiang for reminding me again!" ”

"Haha~, in fact, you don't have to thank me, I'm just warm-hearted, and I don't want you young and promising people to suffer, so I can't help but remind you." Lu Yijian laughed again when he heard Li Zhang's words, and then he also said goodbye to Li Zhang, and then left with square steps.

Looking at the back of Lu Yijian leaving, Li Zhang was silent for a while, and finally left the imperial city with a long sigh, Liu E's age is not young, don't look at her now in power, even Zhao Zhen does not dare to disobey her will, but in fact, everyone is waiting for the day when Liu E falls, and when she falls, it is the day when everyone reckons with her.

The ministers in the court knew Liu E's handling, and Liu E herself knew her situation, so she also desperately promoted her cronies and strengthened the power in her hands, so as to add a little sense of security to herself, but now her illness suddenly knocked her previous efforts back to the original shape, because it means that Liu E's body may no longer be able to support it.

Of course, an illness may not mean that Liu E's body is really bad, but the key to this matter is not the real situation of Liu E's body, but other people's views of Liu E, her age is not young, plus this disease, has made many people think that Liu E's body can not support it, and this is enough, in other words, this is the potential, Liu E was originally like the sky, but this disease is a turning point, and it reversed Liu E's rising momentum all of a sudden.

Thinking of the above, Li Zhang's heart is also heavy, although he was under house arrest by Liu E for nearly a year, and the relationship between the two is no longer as harmonious as before, but this does not mean that Li Zhang wants to see Liu E unlucky, in fact, Li Zhang's feelings for Liu E are very complicated, and even Li Zhang himself can't explain this complicated feeling.

When he returned home, it was getting late at this time, but Qingzhi was still waiting for him to have dinner, and Li Yonghe, Lu Wu, Huozi and others who got the news also rushed back, and even Xiuxiu, who disappeared, made a sumptuous dinner party in person, but looking at the corners of the wild dog's oily mouth, it is estimated that she fed the wild dog first before she had time to cook for the family.

After the dinner, Li Zhang helped Qingzhi go back to rest, Qingzhi's body was heavy, and he slept more than usual, plus he was not light today, so he fell asleep quickly, but Li Zhang did not rest, but after helping Qingweaving cover the quilt, he walked to a small courtyard in the front yard, and when he pushed open the courtyard door, he happened to see Lu Wu sitting in the courtyard to enjoy the coolness.

"I knew you were coming, sit down!" Lu Wu pointed to the chair next to him with a pu fan in his hand, he is not young anymore, now his hair and beard are mostly white, although his body is still quite strong, but the skin on his arms has also become a little loose, and there are a lot of wrinkles on his face, but he is still full of energy when he speaks, which is also the benefit of his perennial martial arts.

Li Zhang was not polite to Lu Wu, he sat down next to Lu Wu at the moment, and then asked directly: "I heard Lu Xiang say that the Queen Mother is sick today, is it serious?" ”

"Didn't you enter the palace today to see the Queen Mother, can't you see it?" Lu Wu picked up the chilled watermelon next to him and handed it to Li Zhang, then picked up half of the watermelon himself and nibbled on it, it is now June, it is the hottest time, even at night, it is still hot.

"When I saw the Queen Mother today, Lu Xiang and they were all there, and the Queen Mother was behind the screen, and I couldn't see her." Li Zhang opened his mouth to explain.

Hearing Li Zhang's words, Lu Wu looked at Li Zhang and sighed and said: "No wonder you ask this, the Queen Mother was not lightly ill before, the imperial doctor said that it was a disease caused by hard work, plus she was old and sick, and the Queen Mother almost couldn't survive, fortunately she finally survived, and she also blocked the news, but I'm afraid I can't hide it from some people's eyes at all." ”

"So what's going on now?" Li Zhang also asked eagerly again when he heard this.

"It's much better now, but after this illness, the Queen Mother has suddenly aged a lot, and most of her spirit has been reduced, and you will know when you see her in the future." Lu Wu sighed again at this time and said, he was one of the few people who went to visit Liu E when he was sick, and even Liu E entrusted him with some things at that time, but later Liu E didn't expect that he could survive it.

Hearing this, Li Zhang also showed a silent expression, and after a long while, he said again: "The Queen Mother's illness, the ministers in the court will definitely have other thoughts, but the most important thing is Your Majesty, has Your Majesty made any changes during this time?" ”

Li Zhang hasn't seen Zhao Zhen until now, and naturally he doesn't know the situation on Zhao Zhen's side, but it's a pity that the time is too tight today, he has seen Liu E The day after tomorrow is almost dark, and he doesn't have time to see Zhao Zhen at all, otherwise he can directly inquire about some information from Zhao Zhen.

"I don't know much about the situation on Your Majesty's side, it's best for you to enter the palace tomorrow and ask Your Majesty in person, but as far as I know, Your Majesty is very calm, some people want to see Your Majesty, but Your Majesty refused, but some ministers can't sit still." Lu Wu opened his mouth again and introduced.

Li Zhang also nodded when he heard this, Zhao Zhen's performance really did not disappoint him, the more times like this, the more Zhao Zhen had to calm down, especially since he didn't need to do anything, just wait slowly, anyway, he has been waiting for so many years, and it is not bad for one or two years.

"By the way, in the past few months of your absence, something has happened at home, and it is inconvenient for me and your father to deal with it, so we can only wait for you to come back." At this time, Lu Wu suddenly thought of something, and spoke again at the moment.
