Xiuyue hurriedly ran to the west gate of Chang'an, ran too fast, her mouth was dry and wrinkled, and she covered the slightly painful right side of her abdomen with one hand and watched the people coming in and out of the west gate from a distance, and there was no figure of Yun He, so she took advantage of this gap to quickly go to Dai Qing to tell the queen the news, otherwise, when Liu Bang really married Princess Lu Yuan to the Huns, it would be too late, and she still had to let Empress Lu think of a way.

After Dai Qing learned the news, her face immediately changed, she couldn't imagine that the Huns would come so quickly, and what she didn't expect was that Liu Bang actually agreed to marry the princess to the Huns.

Dai Qing didn't have time to think about it, and after receiving Xiuyue's news, he quickly separated from her and hurriedly went to Empress Lu.

Empress Lu was practicing calligraphy on several cases in Changxin Palace, holding a roll of bamboo slips, holding a brush in her jade hand, and gently writing a sentence "If you don't suffer from others, you don't know yourself, and you don't know others", Fang was thinking about this sentence carefully, and heard Dai Qing's anxious and heavy footsteps on the verandah.

As soon as she looked up, it was Dai Qing who walked in quickly, panicked and frightened, Empress Lu thought she was in trouble, and asked urgently, "What's wrong with Dai Qing, why are you so flustered?" ”

Dai Qing didn't say a word, walked quickly to Lu Hou's side, leaned over and whispered in her ear, and suddenly Lu Hou's face was pale, her mouth was wide open, her pupils were dilated, and she turned around and asked Dai Qing, "Really?" Did the Huns really come? ”

Dai Qing nodded and said, "It's true, according to her, the emperor has agreed to send the princess to the Xiongnu." ”

Lu Hou's heart tightened, and she was so shocked that she almost fell, but she was quickly helped by Dai Qing's hand. Suddenly shocked, the flower was pale, and there was a slight pain in the chest, as if everything in the world had collapsed, and he only felt that his body was weak and his mind was blank. Leaning on the pillar in the center of the hall, inhaling and exhaling to calm his mind, Dai Qing hurriedly stroked his back and comforted him. He stood in a daze, without saying a word, frightened Dai Qing and called the queen a few times. It took a long time to come back to his senses, pursed the corners of his mouth, and did not hide the panic in his heart, Dai Qing asked someone to bring Ningshen tea, and Lu Hou waved his hand without thinking and accidentally knocked it to the ground, overflowing the ground, the panic at this moment had already occupied Lu Hou's heart, and he didn't care about what he did at all, and he paced around the hall in a distraction, and his heavy steps were unprecedented. Dai Qing called two palace people to clean up the things on the ground, Dai Qing never left Lu Hou's side to serve, Lu Hou's phoenix eyes no longer have the brilliance of the past, the two curved eyebrows are squeezed together, and their steps are hurried and flustered. The whole person has no idea, Liu Bang, who didn't believe that Empress Lu would make such a decision, he also promised himself not to marry the princess to the Huns on the night of Chongyang, and now what reason does he have to do that. Empress Lu desperately wanted to calm down, but the more she wanted to calm down, the more Liu Bang's promise flashed in her mind, as well as the arrogance and wildness of the Xiongnu country, thinking that the princess had arrived at the situation of the Xiongnu, she was resentful, angry, and anxious for no reason, and she thought carefully about who she wanted to hate, but she couldn't find someone to choose. Thinking unsteadily in a hurry, he grabbed Dai Qing's hand, and said with a trembling voice, "No, the emperor promised me that I would not send A-Yuan to the Xiongnu, he said it." "Panic and comfort yourself.

Dai Qing stroked Empress Lu's back, it was impossible to soothe the excitement in Empress Lu's heart, and he had to tell more cruel facts, "Niangniang, the emperor now favors Mrs. Qi and Mrs. Guan, the two countries are very important, Your Majesty is likely to listen to the words that fanned the flames, it is said that the emperor went to Linhua Palace, and after coming back, he categorically said that he wanted to marry the princess to the Huns, but the strange thing is that Qi Ji is helping you say good things, Dai Qing doesn't understand." ”

Empress Lu's flustered face did not see a trace of calm, Tie Qing's face seemed more excited, and he snorted coldly and said hatefully, "Because she is smart, she must have thought that this palace would guess that she was bewitching the emperor to send Ayuan to the Xiongnu, so she had to clear up her relationship with this matter." ”

Dai Qing Daigo nodded.

"Is it the emperor's intention or the meaning of other concubines." Empress Lu immediately thought to herself, and she didn't believe that Liu Bang didn't keep his promise. With his understanding of Liu Bang, he did promise that he would never send the princess to Hudi, and he would probably not break his promise in this matter. At the beginning, there was talk that he was going to find another clan girl to marry, and now he wants to marry Lu Yuan to the Huns, I am afraid that someone will slander him, and I am afraid that someone will say that there are serious interests of whether the princess marries or not, so he is so sure, who is so inconsiderate of his inner feelings, Lu Hou's hands squeaked.

Dai Qing said, "Niangniang, what should we do now?" The emperor said that after dinner, he would come to you to discuss with you about the Huns' welcome. ”

Empress Lu walked to the front of several cases, and looked at the sentence written on the cases, 'If you don't suffer from others, you don't know yourself, and you don't know if you suffer from others', her eyes looked at the front with deep eyes, and suddenly her eyes lit up and ordered the palace people, "Quick, quickly pass on Princess Lu Yuan and King Zhao." ”

The two palace people immediately approached Empress Lu and bowed their heads to obey the order, and Empress Lu hurriedly ordered, "You two hurry up and summon the princess and King Zhao, Dai Qing, you go to the prince's palace and call the prince too, Ah Yuan and Ao Er can't stay here, be sure to send them away before the emperor comes up." This palace will give you time for half a pillar of incense. ”

Dai Qing was quite puzzled, "Niangniang, what is this going to do?" ”

"There is a storm on the flat ground, and the dark waves are turbulent. The emperor is fickle, I am unpredictable, I am afraid that I will not be able to persuade the emperor at that time, if A-Yuan is still in the palace at that time, the emperor will send her to the Huns, so A-Yuan can't stay in the palace. The deep palace is like the sea, the dark arrow is difficult to prevent, and any incident can happen. Go for it, be sure to be fast. ”

Dai Qing seemed to understand a little in his heart, and just walked to the door of the hall in response to the order, as if he thought of something, he turned around and asked with bright eyes, "Niangniang, do you want to pass on the Hou of Jiancheng?" ”

Empress Lu shook her head and said, "No, if you can't do this thing, why should this palace be the queen?" It's too late. ”

Only then did Empress Lu think about it, Ah Yuan was in the palace, for Liu Bang, this was a matter of pushing the boat along the river, and there was no need to go all the way to Zhao to summon him, at this time Liu Bang seemed to be fascinated by something, and he must have made up his mind and refused to change. Empress Lu didn't have time to complain to him at this time, and all she had in her mind was how to send her daughter out of the palace quickly.

Dai Qing and the other palace maids went out one after another after receiving the order.

Empress Lu was restless, her hands were tightly clenched, her whole face was tense, and she was still pacing around the hall, her steps anxious and heavy, and sometimes she could be heard exhaling long. The rest of the palace people in the hall all lowered their heads, and suddenly fell silent, and the atmosphere was extremely tense, they understood that they didn't dare to provoke the queen at this time, so they pressed their heads as low as they could. Empress Lu walked up to a housekeeper and hurriedly ordered, "Quickly go and bring Xiahou Ying over, let him prepare two carriages, and wait at the entrance of Changxin Palace." ”

"Whoa." She received the order and hurriedly lowered his head and couldn't wait to go out, away from Empress Lu, whose temper was about to explode at any time.

Time slipped away minute by minute, and Empress Lu walked out of the steps outside the hall in a panic to stand and look at the sun in the sky, unconsciously bit his index finger, and looked at the gate of Changxin Palace from time to time with anxious eyes, and no one took a long breath and returned to the hall, walking around with a frown.

After about two teas, there was a panicked footsteps outside the hall, Dai Qing came from the prince's palace, and the palace maids also came from the princess and King Zhao.

They happened to meet each other in front of the gate of Changxin Palace, and as soon as they met, they looked at each other solemnly and inexplicably, their faces full of doubts. Without saying a word, he hurriedly entered the main hall, and saw that Empress Lu was pacing anxiously in the main hall, Liu Ying, Ah Yuan and King Zhao hurriedly stepped forward and bowed in unison, "Erchen see the queen mother." ”

Empress Lu didn't wait for them to bow their heads and finish saluting, so she helped them up, and solemnly instructed, "Ayuan Ao'er, you go back and pack up your things, and be sure to leave the palace and return to Zhao before the end of tonight." ”

The princess and King Zhao looked at each other with puzzled expressions, and they were very inexplicable about their mother's words. A-Yuan took Empress Lu's hand and said, "Queen Mother, I don't know what it is, I asked the palace maids on the way, and they couldn't tell me, I was really in a hurry, did my father have an accident or a mutiny in Chang'an?" ”

King Zhao also stepped forward, waiting for Empress Lu's answer with a solemn and puzzled expression.

Empress Lu shook her head, "No, don't ask again, hurry up and go back to pack your things, the queen mother has arranged for Xiahou Ying to wait for you outside the palace gate in a carriage, and the queen mother will personally send you outside the palace, the prince didn't have time to say goodbye to you, so he had to let him come too, so he had to say goodbye to you in the carriage." ”

"Queen Mother, ...... in the end"

Before Ah Yuan finished speaking, he was suppressed by Empress Lu's words, and complained eagerly, "Why are you so verbose, don't you even listen to the words of the queen mother?" You can do what the queen mother teaches you how to do, go back and pack your things and take Ah Yan with you. ”

"But didn't I leave before I said a word to my father?"

"What is there to say, he's here, can you still go?" Seeing them so verbose, Empress Lu was afraid that she would miss the opportunity, so she couldn't help yelling and starting a fire, and pushed her and Zhang Ao out together with Lu Yuan's hand.

The princess and King Zhao were called in a daze, and they were pushed back to the palace by Empress Lu in a daze, and the two could only look at each other in confusion. Seeing that Empress Lu was so angry, they didn't dare to say anything. They also thought to themselves in their hearts, it seems that something big happened in the palace, otherwise the queen mother would not be like this, she finally met the queen mother, how could she drive herself to Zhao State?

Lu Yuan had no choice but to go back to the palace with King Zhao to pack up his things.

Although the prince heard Dai Qing say some things on the way, he also had an idea, but he was in too much of a hurry and didn't understand.

Seeing that his sister and brother-in-law were gone, the prince quietly asked Empress Lu, "Queen Mother, what happened, why did you let Sister Ah and her leave in such a hurry." ”

Empress Lu sighed and shook her head bitterly and helplessly.
