On Chinese New Year's Eve, the rules in the palace are more cumbersome than those of large families, although most of the things are handled by eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, but as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Er naturally cannot be idle.

The Spring Festival couplets for peach charms look really festive.

On this day, Wei Chi Jingde rushed to the palace after finishing the affairs in the mansion, and every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, he and Qin Qiong would both spend time in the palace, and others thought that the two of them were deeply favored, but they did not know the real reason.

Li Er has always had a secret that he has not told outsiders, perhaps because his road to the throne is full of blood, and he has been haunted by nightmares over the years, especially on the Chinese New Year's Eve.

The change of Xuanwu Gate, the blood-stained court, and many people still remember the scene of that day vividly.

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, every family has to worship their ancestors, and even more so in the palace, there is no room for the slightest sloppiness, but for Li Er, the ancestor worship on Chinese New Year's Eve is the beginning of a nightmare.

A few days after worshipping the ancestors, he almost dreamed of the ghosts of the day of Xuanwu Gate coming back to ask him for his life, and those who had long disappeared in the past ten years became more and more clear and real in their dreams, which made Li Er very painful, so every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, he would summon Qin Qiong and Wei Chi Jingde into the palace to guard the dormitory for himself, so that he could sleep peacefully.

In addition to Empress Changsun, other concubines rarely have the opportunity to eat with Li Er throughout the year, only on important festivals have such an opportunity, Li Er sacrificed to the ancestor, it was still early before the banquet, the concubines and princesses in the palace were laughing and watching song and dance performances in the hall where the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet was held, and it seemed that they were happy.

Wei Chi Jingde was the only foreign minister present, but everyone seemed to have become accustomed to it, and did not feel the slightest surprise, Li Er saw that only Wei Chi Jingde was the only one and immediately asked, "Where is Shubao?" ”

In previous years, both of them had come together.

Wei Chi Jingde heard Li Er's question and replied: "General Qin's body is weak and he can't get up. ”

Li Er was shocked when he heard this, Qin Qiong followed Li Er to fight all the times, and every battle must be the first. He often takes the head of the enemy general among the ten thousand armies, but because he has been injured too much, his body is getting worse, and he didn't expect that he can no longer get up now.

"Jingde, go with me to see Shubao."

Wei Chi Jingde thought that Li Er was afraid that Qin Qiong would not be able to come, so he said: "Your Majesty doesn't need to go in person, when I come out of General Qin's mansion." General Qin said that he would let his family carry him into the palace later. ”

Li Er shook his head gloomily when he heard this: "I am already deeply guilty that I can't let you reunite with your family at home on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, and now that Uncle Bao is so weak, how can I bear to let him ......"

"Hey." Li Er sighed and said, "Go with Shu Bao and go back to the mansion, you both spend this year's Chinese New Year's Eve in your own mansion." ”

couldn't spend the New Year at home for several years, and Li Er did feel guilty about Wei Chi Jingde and Qin Qiong.

Changing into casual clothes, Li Er took Wei Chi Jingde to Qin Qiong's mansion, there was no happy and festive atmosphere in other mansions, and the atmosphere in the Yiguo Mansion was depressing and gloomy. The maids and servants who came in and out were all frightened and sad.

Qin Huaiyu was serving Qin Qiong in the inner hall, and when he heard that Li Er was coming, he hurriedly came out to greet him, Li Er was worried about Qin Qiong's comfort, and strode towards the inner hall, and as soon as he walked to the door, he heard Qin Qiong's intermittent voice.

"Wai...... Huaiyu, let people lift ...... Carry me into the palace. ”

"Master, you can't get up anymore, what are you doing in the palace? You just take care of yourself. A woman's voice was weeping.

"What does the women's Taoist family know, every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, General Wei Chi and I are going to enter the palace. Look at this hour...... It's not too early, let people lift ...... I enter the palace, don't let Your Majesty wait! Qin Qiong's voice was weak but unquestionable.

"Daochang Sun, you can persuade our master, his body is ...... bones."

Before the woman's words were finished, Qin Qiong interrupted: "Daoist Sun has a good medicine that can help me survive these few days." As long as you can pass these days, you can go with peace of mind. ”

Li Er couldn't hold back any longer when he heard this, and pushed open the door and strode in, followed by Wei Chi Jingde and Qin Huaiyu.

"Uncle Bao, you can't just go like this, I still want you to help me guard for ten years. Twenty years, one hundred years! ”

Seeing Li Er come in, everyone hurriedly saluted, Qin Qiong's lips moved slightly and wanted to get up and salute, Li Er stepped forward and pressed his arm and said, "Have a good rest, and when Daochang Sun takes care of your body, I will ride a horse and drink with you!" ”

Seeing that the brave generals who took the heads of the enemy generals in the past have now become thin and weak, Li Er couldn't help but feel sad and calmed the emotional Qin Qiong, and the group followed Li Er to the hall.

The atmosphere in the hall was very depressing, and anyone could see that Qin Qiong's body was almost running out of oil, and he was really afraid that he would not be able to survive this winter.

Li Er took a deep breath and asked Sun Simiao, "Daochang Sun, is there a way for Shubao's body to recover." ”

Listening to his question, Wei Chi Jingde, Qin Huaiyu and the others also all looked at Sun Simiao.

Sun Simiao pondered for a moment and shook his head and said: "General Qin was injured too much in his early years, he was riddled with illness, and his body had long run out of oil. ”

Even Sun Simiao said that there was nothing he could do, everyone's faces suddenly became sad, the woman was even more grief-stricken, and cried bitterly, Qin Huaiyu choked and said: "My father has been a young man, and he has been through more than 200 battles, and he has been hit by serious sores repeatedly, and there are several bleeding before and after, how can he not be sick......

Qin Huaiyu's words reminded Li Er of the past when Qin Qiong followed him to fight in the south and the north, and every battle must be the first, even if he was sick, he went to the palace to guard the palace for himself, and the sadness was even stronger.

"Daochang Sun, is there really no way for Shubao's body?"

Qin Qiong has been brave and upright all his life, Sun Simiao was also very impressed, sighed and said: "General Qin's body has suffered a serious loss of qi and blood because of too many injuries, and ordinary medicines can't ...... at all" Suddenly thinking of something, Sun Simiao's heart moved, "Qi and blood loss...... Perhaps the prince has a new way. ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone's eyes lit up, and they guessed that Sun Simiao was talking about Wang Xiang's blood transfusion method of borrowing his life to continue his life.

Thinking of this, Li Er immediately said, "I'm going to send someone to summon the prince to come over!" ”

Qin Huaiyu said excitedly: "I, I'll go and invite Zixin to come over!" ”

Li Er nodded and said: "Okay, you go to the Marquis of Linchuan's Mansion to find Prince Xin, Jingde, you quickly go to the prison to raise ten, no, bring twenty death row prisoners over, if you can save Shu Baozhen, they will be spared the death penalty!" (To be continued.) )
