Chapter 68: Reminiscences of the Deep Palace

Three days later, the capital again sent a team of 100,000 soldiers to Ding'an Mansion to kill. The marshal who led the troops was the great Sima Kou Yue, the military division was Master Zhiran, the left vanguard was Hulie General Shan Tiezhu, and the right vanguard was Weiyuan General Jin Heng.

Li Xuan supported the sick body, sent the army away, returned to the palace, and was about to go to ask the Empress Dowager Yan for peace, when he just walked to the corner of Cining Palace, he heard a cry in the palace.

The death of the crown prince was not hidden from the Empress Dowager Yan and others after all.

Li Gong ordered the eunuch to stop the dragon and did not speak for a long time.

Just when he didn't know what to do, suddenly the little eunuch in the East Palace came running on the ground and said with a crying voice, "Your Majesty, the crown princess...... The crown princess heard about the prince...... The prince died, was overly sad, and had a fetal gas, at this time...... At this time, the abdominal pain was unbearable, and the two imperial doctors over there did not dare to call the shots, so they begged His Majesty to send a few more imperial doctors to the East Palace! ”

Li Gong's heart ached again, and he leaned weakly on the dragon chariot.

Meng Ying, the chief eunuch next to Long Yuan, looked at Li Xuan's pale face, and hurriedly whispered to the little eunuch who came to report the news, "Silly boy, you should go and tell the Queen Mother and the Queen about this matter quickly!" ”

Only then did the little eunuch come to his senses, kowtow again, hurriedly got up, and ran into Cining Palace.

When Empress Dowager Yan and Empress Yang heard this, they didn't care about shedding tears for the prince anymore, so they hurriedly selected a few imperial doctors who were good at gynecology, and the group hurried to the East Palace.

Li Gong, supported by the eunuchs, struggled to get off the dragon chariot, stood at the gate of Cining Palace and saw off the Empress Dowager Yan and others, and felt that he couldn't support it, so he hurriedly ordered people to drive back to the dormitory, and asked people to the East Palace to inquire more, and if there was any news to report as soon as possible, he fell into a half-asleep and fell on the dragon couch.

In the drowsiness, Li Gong's eyes were bright and dense Jin Ge Iron Horses, and in his ears were the sound of soldiers fighting in the sky, the sound of weapons colliding, and the neighing of war horses.

Suddenly, everything was gone again, and he was in a dark wilderness, surrounded by a thick mist. He faintly heard someone calling to him, and he pushed through the fog and searched for the direction of the sound. His shoes and socks were wet in the thick fog, and the unclear thorns on the side of the road cut through his robe.

The voice became clearer and clearer, yes, it was Li Yu's voice, which was clearly the voice of struggling in an extremely dangerous situation.

Li Gong shouted in horror, "Yu'er! Woo'er! ”

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! ”

In Li Gong's ears, there was a soft whisper. He slowly opened his eyes, but it turned out to be Queen Yang.

Empress Yang clearly heard what Li Gong was shouting, her face was already full of tears, and when she saw Li Gong wake up, she smiled reluctantly and reluctantly, "Your Majesty thinks it's a nightmare, and the concubine is about to come to tell Your Majesty a good news, Yu Niang's child has given birth to a grandson for Your Majesty." ”

"Oh," Li Chun asked with a long sigh, "how is the child?" Yu Niang's child is okay? ”

Empress Yang reluctantly smiled and said, "Your Majesty, relax, the mother and son are safe, but the child is less than a month, and it is inevitable that he will be thinner." The doctor has already diagnosed the pulse, and it is okay to say anything else. Yu Niang also begged His Majesty to give the child a name. ”

"Name?" Li Gong let out a long sigh again, and said faintly, "This child has a hard life, and he has no father before he is born, so it is better to be called Li Xuan." ”

"Li Shu? Sluggish? Empress Yang read it lightly twice, and then she understood in her heart, and she couldn't help but roll down tears.

Li Gong patted her hand lightly, and said slowly, "I'm always sorry for you, I shouldn't let Yu'er go south." For the sake of the relationship between husband and wife for so many years, you should take care of me. ”

When Empress Yang heard this, she was even more sobbing, and while she was busy wiping her tears, she said softly, "Where did Your Majesty speak, the concubine did not have any complaints. Your Majesty, do you feel better this time? Why don't you send the imperial doctor and ask Your Majesty for a pulse, how about it? ”

Li Gong waved his hand and said, "No need, I just want to talk to you at this time, remembering that when we first got married, there were always endless words." In the past two years, things have been changing, and I have been busy, and I have not talked to you well. Oh, by the way, what about the Queen Mother? ”

Empress Yang hurriedly said, "The Queen Mother is still in the East Palace, and Mrs. Kou and our second daughter-in-law have also gone, and they are all talking with Yu Niang." It was only because when the concubine went to the East Palace that she saw that His Majesty's face was not very good, so she returned to the Queen Mother, and only said that she came to report good news to Your Majesty, so she came back first. ”

Li Yu nodded lightly and said, "It's nothing at this time, but my body feels tired." Somehow, some of you want to eat the shredded chicken and tofu soup you made yourself. It was the first dish you made for me after we got married, it was so smooth and fragrant that even the Queen Mother was full of praise. ”

Empress Yang hurriedly wiped away her tears again, stood up and said, "What's this, wait for the concubine to make a bowl for Your Majesty." ”

Li Gong pressed down on Queen Yang, and said with a shallow smile, "I'm just talking, how can there be a queen cooking?" ”

Empress Yang gently took Li Gong's hand away and said, "Since Your Majesty talked about the past, today we will only talk about husband and wife, regardless of monarchs and ministers." As a wife, it is right to make a bowl of soup for her husband. ”

Li Gong saw that Empress Yang insisted on doing it, and hurriedly said, "That is the case, there is a lot of chaos over there in the imperial dining room, where is the place you go." There is a small stove in this side hall, which was used to prepare tea, and you have ordered someone to bring it to you what materials you want to use, so make it here. ”

Empress Yang glanced at Meng Ying, the chief eunuch who was quietly serving beside her, and ordered, "Gonggong Meng, please go and tell the imperial dining room to prepare fresh shepherd's cabbage, shredded chicken, tender tofu, and some stock, oil and salt and other ingredients." ”

Meng Ying hurriedly agreed and went out to prepare. After a while, he took a few eunuchs and palace maids and brought all the materials used. When Empress Yang looked at it, she saw that even many materials that she had not ordered had been prepared, because she said, "Where are you using so much?" ”

Meng Ying said with a smile, "The minions didn't understand this, they were all prepared by the cooks in the imperial dining room, and I think they were also afraid that they would lack any materials and delay the queen's affairs." ”

Empress Yang thought for a while, and said with a smile, "However, it was originally the soup in this palace, which was much more delicate than ordinary people, and the ingredients were naturally more cumbersome." It's just that Your Majesty wants to eat the taste that Hongu made many years ago, so he doesn't need it anymore. Well, if you have prepared it, let it be put aside, and then take back the rest of the materials later. ”

As he spoke, a little eunuch came over with a copper basin, asked Queen Yang to wash her hands, and went to the side hall.

Li Gong ordered Meng Ying to help himself up, propped himself up with a few pillows, and could faintly see the busy figure of Empress Yang in the side hall, and a faint smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of her mouth.

Meng Ying was the most discerning, and he gave a look to the other little eunuchs and palace maids, and they all quietly withdrew from the dormitory.
