The news of the death of the crown prince spread to all the towns and cities of Mu as quickly as possible, to the ears of all the people and eunuchs of Mu State, to the cold city of Kyoto, and to the imperial palace.

At that time, Li Xuan was discussing political affairs with Kou Yue, and when he received the battle report, Li Spring only glanced at it, his face became snow-white, his hands kept trembling, and after a while, he suddenly screamed, a mouthful of blood sprayed on the war report, and his body fell heavily to the side. Kou Yue's eyes were quick, he grabbed Li Gong, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Pass the imperial doctor!" Pass on the Imperial Doctor! Several eunuchs ran out of the house.

Several imperial doctors who came in a hurry took turns to diagnose Li Gong's pulse. Empress Dowager Yan and Empress Yang also rushed to hear the news and eagerly asked the imperial doctor what was going on.

The imperial physicians hurriedly knelt down and replied: "Empress Dowager Qiyu, Empress Qiyu, the Holy Lord is angry for a while, so the blood is retrograde, and there is no big problem, just take a few doses of medicine, and then relax your heart, and you will be fine." ”

Empress Dowager Yan and Empress Yang, who were relieved, looked at Li Reung, who was still in a coma, and then remembered and asked Kou Yuedao: "General Kou, what is Your Majesty for?" Suddenly vomited blood? ”

"This ......" Kou Yue also made a difficulty, whether to say it or not? Up and down the court of Mu State, who doesn't know that the Queen Mother and the Queen are the ones who love the prince the most? As an iron-blooded man who has been fighting for half his life, the saint heard that something had happened to the prince, and he vomited blood; If the Queen Mother and the Queen know the truth, what will happen? The Queen Mother and the Empress, if something happens to either of them, he can't afford to take this responsibility!

Just as he was hesitating, he heard Empress Dowager Yan ask again: "General Kou, is there anything that can't be said about this?" But what's bad at the front? ”

Kou Yue was shocked in his heart, and his face couldn't help but show a flaw, Empress Dowager Yan glanced at him suspiciously, and instructed the eunuch chief pipe: "What document was Your Majesty reading just now?" Take it to the mourners! ”

The chief eunuch glanced at Kou Yue helplessly, and had to agree, and was about to pick it up, when he suddenly heard the imperial doctor guarding Li Gong's bedside shouting happily: "Queen Mother, Empress, Your Majesty has woken up!" ”

Empress Dowager Yan and Empress Yang didn't care about urging the chief eunuch and Kou Yue anymore, and hurriedly came to see Li Gong.

I saw that Li Gong's face was sallow and weak, and several eunuchs supported him before he sat up. Li Gong saw that Empress Dowager Yan was worried, and hurriedly smiled reluctantly: "Don't worry, the queen mother is okay, my son is fine, just take a break." ”

Empress Dowager Yan hurriedly said: "What is the emperor doing to suddenly faint?" You have to find out the reason so that the doctor can prescribe it. It is also more symptomatic. ”

Li Xuan hesitated for a moment, and hurriedly said softly: "It's nothing else, it's just that the front line is tight, the battle has been lost, and my son is anxious for a while, so it's like this." ”

"Lost?" Empress Dowager Yan's face changed, and she hurriedly asked, "How is Yu'er there?" ”

Li Gong's heart ached, but he could only pretend to be indifferent, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the queen mother, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and Yu'er is fine." When I send elite soldiers to the past, I will definitely be able to exterminate the thieves in the near future...... Yu'er can also win and return to the court. ”

Empress Dowager Yan was still going to ask, but suddenly a eunuch came back and forth, saying that King Ning and King Ding heard that the holy dragon body was not safe, and they hurriedly came from their respective palaces to ask for peace.

Li Xuan wished that someone would interrupt the Queen Mother's aggressive questioning, so he hurriedly ordered them to come in.

After a while, Li Sheng, the king of Ning, and Li Yan, the king of Ding, walked into the palace respectfully. Both of them are wearing blue python robes with seawater river cliff patterns, and they are wearing purple and gold crowns with inlaid treasures. The two first met with the Empress Dowager Yan, and then greeted their father.

Li Xuan looked at the two sons on the sickbed, and couldn't help but think of his eldest son Li Yu, who had donated his body, and couldn't hold back his tears, so he had to pretend to be tired, closed his eyes, leaned back, took a deep breath, and instructed Li Yu: "You came just in time, the Queen Mother has been here for a long time, and you are tired of thinking about it, you serve the Queen Mother for your father and go back to the palace to rest." Sheng'er stays here and serves me. ”

Li Sheng and Li Yun hurriedly agreed.

The imperial doctors also took the opportunity to say: "Queen Mother, the Holy One has just woken up, and I have to recuperate a little, and the ministers will do their best to keep the Holy One healthy, please rest assured." ”

When Empress Dowager Yan heard this, she had to sigh, said a few more words, helped Queen Yang and Li Yan's hands, and left with the palace maids with her.

Li Sheng sent the Empress Dowager Yan and Empress Yang out of the palace, lowered his hands under the eaves of the corridor, and saw the Empress Dowager and her party walk away, Fang turned around and came in, eagerly threw himself down in front of Li Xuan's couch, and asked anxiously: "Father, I heard that the imperial brother had an accident over there, but is it true?" ”

Two lines of tears welled up from Li Gong's closed eyes, and without saying a word, he put his hand on Li Sheng's shoulder and patted it gently.

Li Sheng stood up with a "rub", and said loudly: "Father, the son is willing to lead the troops to Dingnan Mansion, kill the Duxin thief, and avenge the emperor's brother!" ”

Li Xuan's face sank, and he reprimanded: "What do you know about this kid? It's just that I've learned a few tricks of three-legged cat kung fu, but I haven't been on the battlefield once, and it's not your turn to do it! ”

Seeing this, Kou Yue hurriedly persuaded beside him: "Lord Wang, there are so many generals in the court, where is the need for the prince to go out?" The saint doesn't have to be in a hurry, in Weichen's opinion, it is not difficult to invite the master of Zhitong Temple to discuss a proper strategy and defeat Du Xin! ”

Kou Yue reminded Li Gong with a word, thought for a moment, and said, "So far, it's all about it." I originally thought that Uncle Tang was already a person outside the world, so it was inconvenient to disturb him too much, but it turned out that Uncle Tang did not have any advice, and I still didn't think it through after all. Kou Aiqing, you can go for me and go to Zhitong Temple to invite Uncle Tang to come. ”

Kou Yue hurriedly agreed, Shi Li said goodbye and left the palace, and went to Zhitong Temple to invite Master Ran.

Halfway through, Kou Yue met Master Ran who was hurrying over.

In addition to the strict harem, the people in the entire capital knew the news of the death of the crown prince, and Master Ran naturally got the news. The crown prince Li Yu grew up under the watchful eye of Master Ran, and studied poetry and articles with Master Ran when he was a child.

Kou Yue hurriedly rolled the saddle and dismounted, and stepped forward to salute. Master Ran didn't finish reciting "Amitabha", and the tears in his eyes couldn't help but roll down.

At this time, Kou Yue couldn't help it, he was not only heartbroken by the untimely death of the prince, but also worried about his daughter who was about to give birth in the East Palace.

Two old friends who met more than a year ago and were about to fight with each other, at this time they could only hold their hands and choke.

Seeing this, the subordinates in the Kou Mansion hurriedly persuaded in a low voice: "Master, general, I'm afraid that the saint is in a hurry, and the two lords should hurry into the palace." ”

A word reminded the two, hurriedly collected their tears, each got on the sedan chair, and went to the palace.
