The next day, General Fan Xu came to Weiyang Palace to say goodbye to Liu Bang, and he was going to Daidi. Liu Bang stroked his back and instructed Tu Zi a few words. Fan Hao was just about to leave after the salute, but Liu Bang stopped him again, and smiled and showed a little worry. Fan Hao came in again to listen to Liu Bang's orders. Liu Bang sighed first, and thought silently for a while before telling Fan Xu that Guan Xiuyan was dead. At that time, when Fan Tuzi heard that Guan Xiuyan had died in Shangdang County and died for unknown reasons, Fan Tuzi opened his mouth in surprise and asked Liu Bang in disbelief who killed Guan Xiuyan. Liu Bang was hesitant, and he was quite scruples and refused to say the instructor, so Fan Hao didn't need to ask again. Fan Xu heard that he was rising, and asked again and again, saying that Guan Xiuyan was a relative of the emperor and that he must be thoroughly investigated. Liu Bang thought he was stupid, he didn't use his brain at all, but it was not easy to tell the matter, he was angry for a while and stood up angrily, saying that Fan Xu didn't have to worry about this matter, but after arriving in Daiguo, he told General Wang Su, who was stationed in Yanmen County, that Guan Xiuyan was temporarily transferred to Shu County and could not come to Yanmen County to take up his post, so he asked him to send an envoy to Chang'an to report that the emperor had not seen Guan Xiuyan's figure. Fan Xu agreed in confusion. Liu Bang specially instructed him that few people knew about this matter, and told Tuzi not to break his mouth, especially not to reach Mrs. Guan's ears. Tu Zi nodded, and when he was really leaving, he bowed deeply to Liu Bang, and Liu Bang patted him on the back and told him to take care. Fan Hao walked to the door of the hall and paused for a while, brewed words and turned around and said to Liu Bang to take care, Liu Bang nodded heavily, and asked Fan Hao to pay attention to the border of the Xiongnu Lou on behalf of the country, and immediately report to Chang'an as soon as there is a situation.

Fan Hao is gone, for the border of Daiguo, Liu Bang can be relieved, Tu Zi is his brother-in-law, he is the first fierce general under his account, and he can have no worries with him. The northwest and western parts of the Dai Kingdom can be safely handed over to Tu Zi and General Chen Feng to guard. Not long after Fan Xufang left, a eunuch outside the palace reported that the queen was holding a bait soup and asked to see her outside the palace. Liu Bang, who was leaning on the couch, stood up smartly, ready to call Chuan, thinking that he wanted the prince to go to Helan without discussing with her, Guan Xiuyan's matter had already made him and the queen feel unhappy and embarrassed, since he knew that Guan Xiuyan had an accident, Liu Bang had not been to Changxin Palace for half a step. The two of them did not deal with this matter carefully or talk about it, so they were awkward for a few days and then started to work on other things, and they didn't bother to discuss this matter with the queen anymore. Now she is asking to see outside, I don't know what it is, I think that the prince and the queen told him to go to Helan, and think that the queen is holding the bait to persuade herself. Liu Bang put down the hand that was about to be called, moved the corners of his mouth and instructed the eunuch to say that he had set up to visit the emperor in Liyang Palace.

After getting this news, the queen Lu Pheasant, who was waiting outside the hall, smiled bitterly, and she clearly saw Fan Xu coming out of the front hall and walking for a long time, why did the emperor go to Liyang Palace all of a sudden? Empress Lu knew that the emperor still didn't want to see her, which angered her a little all of a sudden, after so long, he still couldn't let go of Xiuyan's affairs? There are often cases of wealthy families fighting, and there are often cases of nobles slandering each other, and there are even a lot of incidents of causing deaths, Lu Ling is dead, and Guan Xiuyan is also dead, but who is to blame for their deaths?

Empress Lu decided that Liu Bang didn't want to see him because of Xiuyan's affairs, so he left with Dai Qing after a cold look at the front hall, and left and told Dai Qing to dump the bait, and Empress Lu left quickly with a trace of anger. Originally, Empress Lu didn't want to go to Yuzao Palace to see him when he heard that the emperor was sick, but when he heard that he saw Fan Hao in the front hall, Empress Lu personally made bait and went to the front hall to see him, but he still blamed himself for taking care of Xiuyan's affairs. Guan Xiuyan was wronged by Empress Lu, and when he looked at Liu Bang's cold face again, he annoyed Empress Lu more and more, Liu Bang didn't want to see him, so Empress Lu left angrily. Dai Qing looked at the bait that Empress Lu Jing made for the emperor, and now he was very reluctant to pour it out, he didn't want to waste it, and he didn't drink it himself, but he just gave it to the eunuchs and palace people who guarded the palace gate in the front hall to drink, and said that there was no poison, so everyone dared to drink it. Dai Qing also quickly caught up with the queen and left.

On the way back to Changxin Palace from Yanggong Palace, he inadvertently saw the Beiyuan wall to the north, and suddenly a nameless fire jumped up, and Lu Hou stopped, his eyes forced a sharp, cold and murderous light. Dai Qing looked at the queen carefully, and found that the corners of the queen's eyes twitched with hatred, Dai Qing was too scared to speak, looking for Empress Lu's gaze and looking at Beiyuan.

"What's going on with them?" Empress Lu asked coldly. "Oh", Dai Qing said, "Mrs. Qi has been staying in Yuzao Palace these days, and Mrs. Guan is still idle, and often goes to Zhao Meiren's Yongning Hall and Shi Meiren's. Empress Lu exhaled heavily, and asked again, "What is Mrs. Guan doing and what is she talking about?" ”

"The slave maid thinks that it must be for the women of Beiyuan, and they should come to the queen to discuss this matter." Dai Qing said. The severity on Empress Lu's face was no longer so strong, and she continued to walk in the direction of Changxin Palace, "What is Bo Ji doing?" ”

Dai Qing "uh-" stretched his voice and scratched his head, as soon as he said Bo Ji, Dai Qing inadvertently became respectful, "The slave maid went to Jinhua Palace to send snacks and clothes to Mrs. Bo, and I often saw Mrs. Bo sitting in front of several cases to study Huang Lao's articles, and the slave and maid saw that Bo Niangniang liked Huang Lao's learning." Empress Lu smiled like a dragonfly and muttered, "Also travel with Zhuangzi?" Is this Bo Ji's true attitude to life? After a pause, he said, "Her life is quiet, and she is not on the cusp of the harem fight, which is not bad." Liu Heng is four or five years old, and his mother's example is very good, it seems that Liu Heng should not be underestimated in the future. After that, Empress Lu thought cautiously in her heart: Is she pretending to be forbearant or is she real? Skipping the topic of Bo Ji and asking, "How long has Imperial Physician Qin been in Changxin Palace?" "Except for the day before yesterday, when I was called by His Majesty to see a doctor, it has been seven or eight days."

Lu Hou sighed, seven or eight days? Didn't the emperor ask Imperial Physician Qin how the Beiyuan woman was doing recently? Immediately felt that Imperial Physician Qin could no longer stay in Changxin Palace, and if this continued, the emperor would always find out what he was thinking, and he would protect the woman in Beiyuan even more. Empress Lu panicked for a moment, and quickly returned to calm and composure. looked into the distance hatefully, and instructed Dai Qing, "Do it tomorrow." Please all the ladies and beauties gather in the Xuanyuan Hall of Changxin Palace. "Said gnashing of teeth.

Dai Qing said, "Oh." Then he asked, "Mother, in what name did you call them, and what if they called them sick?" We gathered in Xuanyuan Palace, how did the emperor explain there? Empress Lu seemed to have thought about the reason, and said casually and contemptuously, "Just invite them to come by talking about silkworms, if you don't come, the silkworm ceremony in spring will not be used, and the clothes offered by Shaofu every year will not be necessary." As for the emperor, doesn't he think that silkworms are something that every woman in the royal family should listen to? Dai Qing listened reasonably, nodded in agreement, and admired the queen's wisdom and wisdom in his heart.

When he arrived at Changxin Palace, Empress Lu saw that Imperial Physician Qin in the distance was also rushing over from another direction, tired and panting. Empress Lu and Dai Qing greeted them, and when Imperial Physician Qin saw that it was the queen, he quickly knelt down and saluted, "The queen mother is extremely happy." ”

"Where did you come from?" Empress Lu asked with a serious and cold face, for fear that Imperial Physician Qin would reply from Beiyuan.

"From ...... Rushed over from Weichen's house. Imperial Physician Qin was so supportive that he didn't dare to look into the queen's eyes.

Empress Lu looked at him, half-believing his words, and looked at Dai Qing, who was also half-convinced. Lu Hou asked, "Really?" Imperial Physician Qin replied, "Yes, Weichen's youngest son had a high fever last night and guarded him until dawn, so the minister hurried into the palace to see his mother's illness." I hope that the mother will forgive her sins. "Kneeling on the ground, my waist bent even more.

Lu Hou and Dai Qing glanced at each other again, and it seemed that there was no loophole, so they had to let him get up and speak. Dai Qing and Imperial Physician Qin followed Empress Lu back to Changxin Palace.
