Chapter 252: Princess Heqin

After solving Wu Jieyu's problem, there was a brief period of harmony in Daming Palace. Everyone knows that Empress Dowager Guo is here to make an example of chickens and monkeys, but this one is really very effective, and all the concubines, including the party Wu Jieyu, have restrained their pride and honestly clamped their tails and behaved.

After more than a month, the foreign trade between the Tang Dynasty and the Uighurs was basically over, and the Uighur envoys were about to return to China, and it was time for the princess to make peace.

During these days, Empress Dowager Guo has been telling everyone in Zichen Hall to cheer up their spirits, take a good look at their Emperor Majesty, and don't make any mistakes at this juncture. You must know that this is a major matter related to the friendly relations between the Tang Dynasty and the Uighurs, and it must not be a child's play.

If it goes well, maybe you won't have to worry about the security of the border for decades to come.

And Emperor Li Heng also showed surprising hard work during this period. He reduced the number of times he went to the harem and buried himself in the day and night government affairs, and even the civil and military ministers of the entire court found that the speed at which His Majesty the Emperor reviewed and approved the recitals was getting faster and faster.

He even paid attention to Princess Taihe's dowry personally, and specially instructed the Ministry of Rites to be polite, and for this reason, he also specially took out a state's taxes to add makeup to Princess Taihe.

On the day when Princess Taihe reconciled, Empress Dowager Guo and Li Heng personally sent her out of the city.

Datang has not had a princess in harmony for thirty years, so the people of Chang'an City spontaneously stood on both sides of the road, stretched their necks, and pointed their toes, wanting to see what this princess looked like.

Empress Dowager Guo's mood was a little complicated, and when she looked at the ten miles of red makeup, her eyes were moist.

Once upon a time, she also had such a gorgeous dowry and married into the East Palace. That year, torches lit up the entire street, scorching many trees along the roadside.

Now, when she saw Luoluo getting married, she said softly in her heart, Yi, have you seen it, your daughter, she is going to get married now.

She remembered that dream many years ago, in which Xie naturally said to her, your daughter will be the mother of the world. At that time, she had a panic, because her daughter would be the princess of the Tang Dynasty, and the princess would be the mother of the world, unless she lost the country.

By now, she suddenly understood that maybe what Xie naturally said was really fate. Her daughter does want to be the mother of the world, but the mother is not the world of the Tang Dynasty, but the Uighurs.

The dressed princess Taihe was surrounded by a group of palace maids and eunuchs, Li Heng looked at her in a wedding dress, and suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.

From the age of eleven or twelve, he had imagined her more than once in her wedding dress, and he had fantasized countless times about what the little girl would look like when she married him.

Now, he saw her in her wedding dress...... It's a pity that the person who married him was not him.

During this time, he has been numbing himself with busyness, but unfortunately, the effect is not obvious. Every time he opened a notebook, every time he wrote a word, he needed to work extremely hard to control himself from thinking about her.

She stood before him, and from now on, she would never appear.

He has his three palaces and six courtyards, but they are not her.

As soon as he thought of this life, he would be far away from the end of the world, and he would never see each other again, Li Heng felt that his heart was like a knife. He watched from afar as she walked step by step, each step seemed to be stepping on his life, stepping on his heart, making him cramp with pain all over his body.

He couldn't help it and ran towards her.

Empress Dowager Guo saw that His Majesty the Emperor suddenly ignored the twelve strings of beaded crown on her head, and ran towards Luoluo, she hurriedly called behind her, "Heng'er!" But he ignored it, and ran straight to her.

She had a hijab over her head and was supported by two palace people from side to side, but she seemed to sense him and stopped three steps away from her.

"Luoluo," he couldn't see her eyes, he couldn't see her face, he wanted to reach out to remove the veil on her face, but the hand reached out, stayed in the air for a long time, and finally retracted it.

"Luoluo, this one, I ...... In this life, I will never see you again. ”

Luoluo did not answer. She was speechless, and leaving her hometown was the biggest sorrow for Princess Heqin, no matter whether she had loved Li Heng or not, from this moment on, he would become the relative she missed in her heart.

"Luoluo," he choked up suddenly, "Luoluo, don't you go, stay, stay with me, okay?" I am willing to put the three palaces and six courtyards, and all the concubines in the Daming Palace into the cold palace, and never meet them again, I have made you the queen, and I am the only one in this life, okay? ”

At this moment, he was willing to say such things to her because she was really leaving. But if she stayed, would he have done that? It's not like she hasn't given him a chance, she's been so close to him over the years.

"Your Majesty, there are no regrets."

There are no regrets. Li Heng chewed this sentence carefully, and his heart was bitter.

"So...... You take care if you are in the Uighurs...... If you're not doing well, write to me at any time, and I'll pick you up as I want to send you. ”

"Thank you." Luoluo's answer this time was sincere. She paused and said softly, "Brother Heng, please take care of my mother for me, don't make her sad and sad again." ”

She finally still called "Brother Heng" at the last moment, like she did many years ago. He was a little relieved, and the corners of his mouth tried to pull out an arc that looked slightly pleasant, "Don't worry." ”

He turned around slowly, step by step, and walked steadily up to the city tower in front of Danfeng Gate, and returned to Empress Dowager Guo.

Shiquan took the decree from him and read it, canonized Princess Taihe as the eldest princess of Ding'an, and married the Uighur prince Hosatler.

She had to kneel down to receive the order, kowtow and shout long live, and then got up with the support of the palace maid and walked into the carriage carved from sandalwood.

The curtain was slowly lowered, and from then on, they went to the end of the world and never saw each other again.

The mighty Uighur convoy finally left the city along Suzaku Street, the princess's car slowly blurred and disappeared, and Li Heng's heart that had been tense suddenly fell, and it seemed to disappear suddenly.

He used to think that the most important woman in his life, on this day, he personally gave her a marriage.

At the beginning of June and summer, for some reason, Li Heng felt that his heart seemed to be alone in the cold days of the lunar month, and a big hole was torn out, and the cold north wind blew in, cold and painful.

"Mother," he looked at the Empress Dowager Guo next to him, revealing a bleak smile, "for her, I want to be the emperor." But even though I'm already the emperor, I still can't keep her. ”

Before Empress Dowager Guo could answer, she saw Li Heng suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, her body weakened, and she fell to the ground. Shiquan hurriedly supported him, Empress Dowager Guo was shocked, and shouted "Imperial Doctor, pass on the Imperial Doctor!" ”

Li Heng didn't have any strength in his body, and Empress Dowager Guo almost panicked for a while, and personally hugged him and sat on his shoulder and returned to Zichen Palace.

Imperial Doctor Liang was very old at this time, and because he was in a hurry, he was carried by a medicine boy to Zichen Palace. He didn't care about greeting the Empress Dowager Guo, walked straight to the dragon couch, reached out and touched the pulse, turned his heart sideways, and knelt in front of the Empress Dowager Guo on both knees.

Since Guo Nianyun entered the East Palace at the age of fourteen, he has always regarded her as a little friend and diagnosed her and the people around her. He is the best imperial doctor in the Tang Dynasty, but he is only a Langzhong, not an immortal. Some diseases he weaved, and some diseases he couldn't cure.

So, he had watched her lose some of her loved ones, including her sister, her uncle, and her mother.

And now, she has to face her son.

"The Queen Mother forgives her sins, old man...... The old man can't stand the Queen Mother, and His Majesty won't let the old man tell the Queen Mother anything......"

"What did you say?" Empress Dowager Guo almost jumped up and rushed up to grab Imperial Doctor Liang's wrist, "Old man Liang, you have been by the side of the mourning family for decades, you should know what to say and what not to say, how can you do such a thing with Heng'er?" You...... You said that you were hiding from the mourning family, so what happened to Heng'er, what did you hide from the mourning family? ”

Imperial Doctor Liang looked at Li Heng on the sickbed, considered the use of the words, and said slowly:

"Queen Mother, Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, this is a warm fever and an evil disease, penetrating deep into the blood, and the blood is hot, closing the mind and mind, forcing the blood to act in vain......"

"That's it!" Empress Dowager Guo waved her hand and interrupted him, "You just say, is it important or not, Your Majesty?" To what extent? ”

"This ......" Imperial Doctor Liang hesitated for a long time before touching his goatee, "The Queen Mother Tebi forgives her sins, the old man is incompetent, as the so-called, do your best, obey the destiny of ......"

Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven......

Empress Dowager Guo tried to calm her mood, and walked over to help Imperial Doctor Liang up, "You get up, sit down, you are so old, don't kneel down at every turn." The mourning family asked you, Heng'er, this ...... How long has this been? ”

Imperial Doctor Liang said slowly: "Back to the Queen Mother, from the first month after Your Majesty ascended the throne, the old man found out that something was wrong. But...... But His Majesty didn't let the old man tell the mother, so he ......"

Therefore, His Majesty began to pamper the harem concubines, and even if Luoluo was promised to the Uighurs, he did not have any particularly radical words and deeds, so even though he was drunk, he finally decided to watch Luoluo marry someone else!

Empress Dowager Guo understood everything at that moment. Her son, not incompetent, not cowardly, he is just...... Soft-hearted!

knew that he couldn't give her the best anymore, and he couldn't give her a lifetime of happiness, so he chose to let go.

He didn't tell her, not only because he was afraid of her mother's worries, but also because he was afraid that Luoluo would know that he couldn't marry away without worry.

Therefore, he silently chose to bear all this pain!

"Heng'er, why are you so stupid!"

Empress Dowager Guo sat on the edge of the bed, her eyes tearfully caressed Li Heng's cheeks, this is the flesh that fell from her body, and it is the continuation of her and Li Chun's lives, but how can she be so miserable, so young......
