Liu Ying led Liu Ruyi to his palace to rest, and the two brothers chatted happily and were very happy. At noon, Liu Ying ordered the chef to make a table of delicious food for Liu Ruyi to eat, and in the evening, the two brothers fell asleep together, lying on the couch and chatting about the interesting things when the two were in the palace, and laughter spread out of the hall. On this day, Liu Ying did not let Liu Ruyi leave him half a step. Since Ruyi arrived in Chang'an, Liu Ying took him to play for three or four days, and did not immediately go to worship Queen Lu, although Liu Ruyi intended to worship his mother and the Queen Mother, Liu Ying was reluctant to shirk every time, and always postponed going again tomorrow, and Liu Ruyi gave up. The day was unknown, Liu Ying called the sleeping Ruyi, saying that he had gone to Shanglin Yuan to practice riding and archery, Ruyi had never gotten up so early, and had never been to Shanglin Yuan at this time, so he felt very fresh and interesting, so he immediately got dressed, jumped down from the couch, and pulled Liu Ying out of the trench coat.

When she arrived at Shanglin Yuan, Liu Ying led her horse to ride around the forest a few times, at first Ruyi was still more excited, cheering for her brother's riding skills, and it didn't take long for her to get sleepy, wrap her cloak tightly around her body and doze off. Liu Ying was already sweating profusely after riding a few laps, and when he came to Ruyi's side, he saw him dozing off on the mat, his head was like a bean, very cute. Liu Ying called him softly, "Brother Ruyi-" Liu Ruyi rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked at Liu Ying, and asked Liu Ying listlessly, "Brother will go to Shanglin Yuan every day to practice riding and shooting?" Liu Ying warmed his small hands and smiled, "I have been practicing since the Brotherhood rode a horse." Liu Ruyi shook his head with a bitter face, pouted and said, "Brother is so bitter." Liu Ying touched his head and smiled. The two brothers sat side by side on the mat, talking and laughing. Liu Ruyi leaned on Liu Ying's shoulder, looking at the bright sky in the east, and the freshest and warmest light in the east was about to shine on the earth. Gradually, a warm beam of sunlight shone on the two brothers, and the face of Ruyi to the east shone golden, the sun jumped on Ruyi's face, Ruyi closed his eyes and enjoyed the touch of the sun, and smiled comfortably. The sun stretched the beautiful figure of the two brothers side by side.

"Brother, Ruyi is not filial." Ruyi turned his head and blamed himself and said to Liu Ying, "My father died, and Ruyi did not come back to help the mourning. ”

"Father won't blame you," Liu Ying put his arm around Ruyi's shoulder to comfort him, "Don't think about it, didn't you also set up your father's mausoleum in Zhao State?" ”

Ruyi bowed her head and said nothing, her nose was a little sour, and she said to Liu Ying, "Let's go to worship my grandmother today, okay?" ”

Liu Ying told herself that she was also unfilial, and she hadn't gone to worship Queen Lu for five days, so she said to Ruyi that she would go after breakfast.

After eating, Liu Ying led Ruyi to Changle Palace to worship Lu Hou, the two brothers knelt down together to bow to Lu Hou, and congratulated Lu Hou, "The queen mother is happy and endless-" Lu Hou Fang was having breakfast, seeing Liu Ying taking Liu Ruyi to kneel in front of the case and kowtow, Lu Hou was overjoyed and ordered them to get up quickly, Lu Hou was about to open his mouth to call Ruyi to come and sit beside him, but he saw that Liu Ying had already taken his hand and sat facing east together, one high, one low, one small and one small, very interesting. Liu Ying knew her mother's thoughts and glanced at her mother. Since Liu Ruyi entered Beijing, Lv Hou has already sent someone to secretly monitor Liu Ruyi's actions, knowing that his son is inseparable from him, Lv Hou is a little dissatisfied, for Liu Ying's gaze, Lv Hou pretended to be kind and praised the two, "Ruyi and my Ying'er are really good brothers." Liu Ruyi smiled at Liu Ying lively. Lv Hou ordered two more pairs of dishes and chopsticks, Liu Ying said that he had already eaten breakfast, and Lv Hou said that since he came here, he would eat less, and the palace people immediately brought two bowls of hot rice porridge and respectfully put them on the case. Liu Ru thought that the rice soup was really good, so he ate it in a big gulp, Liu Ying only looked at her mother for a long time, and then she ate quietly. Lu Hougu and Ruyi talked about the affairs of Zhao State, and Ruyi replied one by one, attributing the credit to Prime Minister Zhou Chang. Empress Lu only smiled and said that Zhou Chang would be rewarded in the future. The three of them stopped talking, and only ate quietly.

"Queen Mother, my son wants to see my mother," Liu Ruyi suddenly remembered his mother's relative Ji, and said to Lu Hou after stopping to eat, "I haven't seen her for four or five days in the palace, and I miss her very much." ”

Lu Houfang drank soup, but immediately stopped, looking at Ruyi and Liu Ying, Ruyi was looking at her, Liu Ying lowered her head and ate quietly, but she was obviously a little cramped and nervous, Liu Ying was worried that her mother would return to the words that were not good, and she ate carelessly, but paid attention to listening to the conversation between her mother and Ruyi. Since Empress Lu led Ruyi to Qi Ji, she naturally thought of various ways to deal with Ruyi, and Ruyi's question was also in Empress Lu's expectations. Empress Lu smiled, "Your mother is now in Changling, and she will go another day." ”

"Where is Changling?"

"In the far north, ten days by car and twenty days of walking," Lu Hou said, "The weather is very cold, and when the weather is a little warmer in the future, the queen mother will take you there." ”

"Why is my father's mausoleum so far away?"

"Your father chose the site himself, but the queen mother didn't know."

Liu Ruyi had no choice but to give up.

Before leaving, Empress Lu asked Ruyi to play in her palace for a few days, Ruyi was about to open her mouth happily, and suddenly felt that her hand was pinched by Liu Ying's gravity, and she immediately replied with a smile, "My son is willing to be filial in the mother's harem, how can my brother say yesterday that he would teach me to practice the six arts, don't worry about the queen mother, my son will come soon." Lv Hou smiled embarrassedly, since Ruyi went to Chang'an, Lv Hou knew that Liu Ying in order to protect Ruyi, he did not go to court early for many days, and accompanied Ruyi every day, every day the minister played, Liu Ying would ask the eunuch to give him for approval, Lv Hou knew that Liu Ying was preventing her from killing Ruyi, but he was also dissatisfied with his slackness in the government, so he deliberately blamed and criticized Liu Ying, "The king of a country should not forget the national government, the emperor does not go to court for many days, is it for Ruyi?" Liu Ying rejected Empress Lu, "There is no major event in the court, don't worry about the queen mother." Ruyi just came, and he wanted to get along with him. Empress Lu felt that Liu Ying's tone was very hard, so she didn't talk again. The two brothers bowed deeply to Empress Lu together, and then followed each other out of the hall.

Empress Lu was displeased, Liu Bang protected Qi Ji's mother and son before his death, and now his son also protects them, Empress Lu became more and more annoyed, resenting why Qi Ji's mother and son were protected by so many people, the more people protected them, the more jealous Empress Lu became, and immediately ordered Dai Qing to order, even if Liu Ruyi left Liu Ying's tea, he would immediately come over to report her.

Not long after Liu Yingfang left, Empress Lu summoned Xiao He and asked Xiao He about Liu Ying's recent government situation. Since Liu Bang was suspicious of him several times, Xiao He has been cautious in everything and no longer dares to be in the limelight. Xiao He knew that Liu Ying and Empress Lu were now in conflict, and the mother and son were unhappy, Xiao He didn't dare to tear on their cracks again, and after thinking deeply, he said, "There is indeed no major matter in the court, and the emperor is diligent in handling the government." ”

"Don't speak for him, the mourner knows everything." Empress Lu asked Xiao He, "I heard that the prince played a song to the emperor a few days ago, saying that the southern end of Beidi County needs to dig a deep river, but is there such a thing?" ”

Xiao He was stunned, but he didn't know that Empress Lu knew so much about the outer court in the inner palace, and she thought that she was enthusiastic about court affairs, so she would closely inquire about the emperor's court meeting. Xiao He didn't want to tear on the rift between their mother and son, but at this time he had to say to Empress Lu, "It's true, there is a spring flood at the southern end of Beidi County every year, and when the first emperor was there, he organized the people to dig deep rivers and build dams. In recent years, the river banks have become higher and higher, clogging up the silt, which will affect the people at the southern end during the spring flood season. ”

"What did the Emperor say?"

"Also, I haven't heard from the minister yet." Xiao He hurriedly lowered his head and arched his hand, so as to cover his face, not wanting to see Empress Lu's angry appearance.

"The prince will do it, the mourning family will tell the emperor about this, and the people's affairs are very urgent." Empress Lü was not angry, and immediately ordered Xiao He to control the Yellow River at the southern end of Beidi County. Xiao He immediately received the order.

Liu Ruyi followed Liu Ying back to the palace, and immediately hugged Liu Ying's waist and asked him why he had to pinch himself with gravity. Liu Ying laughed and said that because she didn't want to be separated from Ruyi, Liu Ruyi stared at Liu Ying with round black eyes for a long time, and then sneered, "Brother, don't be like a daughter." Liu Ying was embarrassed for a while, and immediately changed her words and said something else.

Two days later, Liu Ying reviewed the song, and saw that Xiao He's song said that he would dig a deep channel for the Yellow River at the southern end of Beidi County, and build a dam and embankment. Liu Ying eagerly summoned the confessor and asked him to return this piece to Xiao He, so that he could step up the handling of the matter. "This has already been done. Liu Ying was stunned for a while, and said that he had not yet given this order, even if it was for the benefit of the people, Xiao He did not dare to disobey himself privately. Liu Ying immediately asked the confessor unhappily what was going on. The confessor said that Empress Lu summoned Xiangguo a few days ago and asked him to deal with the matter quickly. Liu Ying was immediately unhappy, although her mother was thinking about his government, Liu Ying didn't like her to deal with political affairs before herself, Liu Ying didn't speak all night, looking at the empty hall in a daze. Liu Ruyi came to talk to him, but Liu Ying didn't hear it, Liu Ruyi stupidly followed the people of the Du Juan Palace to the inner room to sleep.

For more than ten days, Liu Ying never went to worship Empress Lu again, but every three days he asked the people of Du Gong to send snacks to Changle Palace as filial piety, and Empress Lu did not say anything about this, only let the people of Du Palace put down and leave, and did not ask the emperor and Liu Ruyi about the recent affairs. The people of Du Gong left, and Empress Lu went to Yongxiang with Dai Qing to watch Mrs. Qi's downfall in front of the door. The miserable Mrs. Qi is no longer the original bright woman, she is a beautiful woman in her thirties, at this time her face is as old as a woman in her fifties and sixties, with rough skin and thorns, Mrs. Qi is ruthlessly enslaved to the rice, if Yongxiang Ling finds that there is a grain of sand in the rice, Mrs. Qi is not allowed to eat for a day, and she has lost a lot of weight. Empress Lu felt very good in her heart, 'squeak-' pushed the door in, and walked straight to Mrs. Qi's side, Mrs. Qi was holding the rice mechanically, her eyes were empty, and her spirit seemed to be in a trance, and she didn't care that Empress Lu was beside her.

"Your son is here," Empress Lu snorted coldly, leaning close to Mrs. Qi's ear, deliberately stimulating her, "The emperor is protecting him, but the mourning family will do it sooner or later, you must bless your son." ”

Mrs. Qi's hand suddenly stopped, and there was immediately resentment in her eyes, turning her head and gritting her teeth like eagle falcon sharp eyes staring at Lu Hou, Qi Ji wanted to grab Lu Hou's neck and pinch her, but she knew that it couldn't be done, but it would make Lu Hou turn her anger to Ruyi to vent, Qi Ji trembled all over, clenched her teeth, and tears swirled in her eyes. Qi Ji knew in her heart at this time that nothing could be as important as her life, and it didn't matter if she was humiliated, Qi Ji gradually withdrew her resentful gaze, re-licked the rice, and didn't say a word. Empress Lu was angry, thinking that if she told Qi Ji, Qi Ji would definitely kneel on the ground and cry bitterly and beg her to let Ruyi go, but she didn't expect Qi Ji to be so calm. The more Qi Ji was like this, the more angry Empress Lu became, and grabbed Qi Ji and said angrily, "The mourning family will not let him go, don't you intercede for him?" ”

"If I begg, will you let him go?" Qi Ji broke away from Empress Lu's hand and continued to bow her head to lick the rice, unwilling to look at Empress Lu.

Empress Lu sneered, circled around Qi Ji, and said arrogantly and resentfully, "The mourning family wants to see who will protect your mother and son, Liu Bang?" Empress Lu was very resentful of Liu Bang, and did not hesitate to call him by his name after his death, "He is dead!" He's dead! Liu Ying protects your son, but the mourning family will always do it, and when the time comes, will you bring you Ruyi's corpse, are you willing to see it? ”

"Maniac!" Qi Ji was so angry that she trembled, and she didn't dare to stimulate Empress Lu's emotions too much after all.

'Smack-', Qi Ji was slapped hard by Empress Lu, and suddenly there were obviously five finger marks on her left cheek, and blood oozed from the corners of her mouth. Jing Tian, who was doing chores on the side, really couldn't stand it, so he came over and knelt on the ground crying and begged Empress Lu not to torture Mrs. Qi anymore, Empress Lu kicked Jing Tian to the ground and scolded loudly, "Get out!" You scumbag! Qi Ji hurriedly got up and hugged Jing Tian. Empress Lu pointed at Mrs. Qi and scolded, "The sky is selfless, the earth is selfless, the sun and the moon are selfless!" The brilliance finally shines on the mourning family, you are the snow in the middle of winter, and you won't be proud for a while! The mourning family will definitely expose you without a trace! ”

"If I die, can you spare Ruyi?" Qi Ji wanted to stabilize Empress Lu's emotions, so she said this.

Empress Lu snorted coldly, her face approached Qi Ji's face, and her eyes flashed with a kind of pleasure after killing and said to Qi Ji, "If he is not the son of the first emperor, the mourning family will stop." "You ......" Qi Ji instantly felt as if someone had stabbed her in the heart, extremely uncomfortable, and she didn't know what to do. Empress Lu snorted coldly, and walked out of Yongxiang, where the atmosphere was dull and she didn't want to stay longer.

On November 25, there was a heavy snowfall in Chang'an, and the snow danced for a long time, and Chang'an became a silver world overnight. After Liu Ying finished handling the music in the inner palace every day, it was convenient for Ruyi to build snowmen and have snowball fights together, and the two brothers chased and fought together in the snow, and sometimes even asked the palace maids to play together. This news reached the ears of Empress Lu, who was extremely dissatisfied with Liu Ying and complained that he had delayed the court in order to prevent himself. Empress Lu called Chen Ping and blamed him for being Lang Zhongling and not knowing about Emperor Fujiao, not knowing how to persuade the emperor to be good, but indulging him in neglecting the government. Chen Ping was panicked, and he didn't dare to contradict Empress Lu, so he just nodded blindly and admitted that what he did was really bad. Lv Houfang blamed Chen Ping, and someone reported that the Marquis of Wuyang's wife, Lu Huan, asked to see her outside the palace, and Lv Hou called for a quick pass. When Lu Huan arrived in the hall, she saw that her former enemy Chen Ping was also there, and Lu Huan was very unhappy, so she passed by her and said with a little sarcasm, "Qu is also there?" What's the matter, it's coming again? The Queen Mother is not the first emperor, and she doesn't listen to your clever words. When Empress Lu saw that Lu Huan had the intention of relieving her anger, she appropriately blocked it, so she reproached Lu Huan, "Presumptuous!" The mourning family is here, how can you speak! Lu Huan bowed her head stupidly, and stood beside Lu Hou. Empress Lu waved Chen Ping away with one hand.

Empress Lu pulled Lu Huan over to sit and said with a smile, "Don't take your words seriously." Lu Yan smiled, "How come?" Ah Yan knew that the Queen Mother deliberately said this to Chen Ping. Empress Lu handed Lu Huan a glass of warm wine and asked, "Why did you think of coming to me, Fan Xu and Fan Yan?" "The two of them stay at home every day to practice swords, and no one can do without anyone." Lu Huan also asked Empress Lu, "How is Sister Ejiao doing?" I heard that the kid from Qi Ji's family is back. Empress Lu nodded and said, "Yes, the emperor is protecting him, and I can't do it for a while." Lu Huan was silent for a long time, and suddenly straightened up and said to Lu Hou, "If you need help, I can help Sister A." Empress Lu was stunned for a moment, blocked the relief with warm wine, drank all the warm wine, and asked Lu Huan to stay in the palace for a few more days.

On the fifth day of the first month of December, Liu Ying got up early as usual, and after washing, he came to tell Ruyi to get up quickly, Ruyi was reluctant to get up in the quilt, and he was sleepy and didn't want to say a word, Liu Ying said another word to him, and Ruyi turned his head over the wall to sleep soundly. Liu Ying saw that he didn't want to get up early, and understood very well, Ruyi was still young and it was winter, and anyone was willing to burrow in the warm quilt in winter. In this way, Liu Ying stopped calling him, thinking that he would only come back after half an hour of morning practice in Shanglin Yuan, Ruyi should be fine, and most of the people in the palace should be asleep at this time, even if her mother wants to harm Ruyi, she may not know that she and Ruyi are separated. Even so, when Liu Ying left, he repeatedly instructed the people of the Du Juan Du Palace who took care of Ruyi and the other eunuchs in the palace to take care of Ruyi, and no one could take him away.

As soon as Liu Ying walked on the front foot, someone immediately reported to Empress Lu. Lu Yan immediately ordered someone to bring wine, and asked to go to the Ruyi Palace to dispose of him. Lu Hou thought deeply, although she felt that Lu Huan should not go, but she had to use someone she trusted, even if others went, Liu Ying would still doubt herself, why not let her trusted sister go. Empress Lu ordered Lu Huan and Dai Qing to go with a few eunuchs and told them to be smarter. Lu Huan and Dai Qing hurriedly came to the Ruyi Palace, and the cuckoo was bringing hot water in, ready to wake up Ruyi to get up, when they heard the sound of footsteps outside, and then there was a quarrel. Cuckoo hurried to the outside of the hall, and saw Lu Huan and Dai Qing leading people to come, Cuckoo looked forward to the inner room, woke up Ruyi, and asked him to follow him, Ruyi didn't know what was going on, only slowly wearing boots, Cuckoo was eager, almost crying and begging Ruyi to wear boots quickly, Ruyi asked her what was the matter, Cuckoo only cried and didn't say. Fang walked to the threshold of the hall, Lu Huan and his people blocked the way, and Dai Qing ordered someone to separate Du Juan and Liu Ruyi with a gesture. Ruyi was frightened and cried, and only called his brother for help. Lu Huan grabbed Ruyi's thin wrist and went to the mat, and Ruyi's eyes were full of fear and cried. Lu Huan ordered someone to grab Ruyi and prevent him from moving, and another eunuch pinched Ruyi's mouth, and Lu Huan wanted to pour the wine held by the eunuch behind him into Ruyi's mouth, and the cuckoo cried and broke away from the hand of the eunuch who was holding her, and rushed out of the door, and was forcibly dragged back by a powerful eunuch. The cuckoo cried and begged, "Don't kill King Zhao, the emperor won't spare you." Although everyone was reluctant to do this, Empress Lu didn't dare to provoke it, and they still numbly carried out the order. Du Juan turned to Dai Qing, "Dai Qing, the great virtue of heaven and earth is born, why did you help the Queen Mother harm King Zhao, King Zhao has no enmity with you." Dai Qing didn't want to harm King Zhao, but he couldn't disobey Empress Lu's order, so Dai Qing stood aside silently. Seeing the situation, Du Juan hurriedly snatched the wine in Lu Huan's hand, and was grabbed by a quick-eyed eunuch and threw her to the pillar, and suddenly the blood on Du Juan's forehead flowed, and he died immediately.

"Don't-" Dai Qing screamed too late, and quickly ran to Du Juan's side to call her, "Du Juan girl-" Du Juan forced his eyes open, trying to reach Dai Qing's face, and when he wanted to speak, he lost his breath. Dai Qing couldn't stop the sadness of his benefactor's death, and shouted loudly, "She saved my life, and she also saved the emperor's life-" Everyone didn't care.

Ruyi cried and called Cuckoo, "Sister Cuckoo-"

Seeing the situation, Lu Huan told herself that she could only deal with Liu Ruyi quickly, and had no intention of taking care of Dai Qing. Lu Huan personally poured wine into Ruyi's mouth, Ruyi shook her head left and right, but was still pinched by Lu Huan's mouth and poured down, after pouring it, Lu Huan let go of Ruyi's body and let it fall on the couch. Ruyi suddenly rolled on the couch in pain, and shouted in his mouth, "Brother——, mother save me-" Before the blink of an eye, Ruyi didn't move. Lu Huan pulled Dai Qing out of the Ruyi Palace and returned to Changxin Palace to resume his life. Lu Hou was happy.

Liu Ying returned from outside, originally in a good mood, ordered the chef to make sweet soup early this morning, just entered the hall and felt that the atmosphere was not right, and the waiters on both sides of the corridor lowered their heads and did not say a word. Liu Ying walked into the hall quickly, there was a cuckoo with blood lying on the side of the pillar, Liu Ying suddenly felt bad, turned his head and saw his younger brother Ruyi's seven orifices bleeding to death, Liu Ying "Ah-" shouted, rushed to Ruyi's side, tears rolled down like a spring, shouting Ruyi's name loudly, Ruyi has not moved for a long time. Liu Ying hugged Liu Ruyi and cried bitterly, saying that her mother must have done it, she took advantage of her departure for a while, and came to this poisonous hand, thinking of this, Liu Ying was resentful, and her eyes were filled with resentment that her mother had never had. Liu Ying put Ruyi and stood at the door and yelled, "Everyone come in!" "The eunuchs and palace maids in the corridor all came in and stood in rows.

"Say! Who did this to you! Liu Ying roared angrily, "Is it the Queen Mother?" ”

Everyone lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.

"Whoever doesn't speak, die!" Liu Ying was full of anger and gritted her teeth to speak. The crowd still didn't dare to say anything.

Liu Ying pulled out the sword on the wall and sharply cut off a corner of the case, Long Wei threatened them, "Say! Is it the Queen Mother? ”

Everyone shook their heads or nodded, not daring to look directly at the angry emperor.

"Bang-", Liu Ying put his sword on the ground, walked out of the hall angrily, and came straight to Empress Lu. Lu Ying had already retreated to the apse, when Liu Ying came in, Dai Qing was serving Lu Hou by the side, as soon as Dai Qing saw him, he began to dodge, Liu Ying hurriedly came over and grabbed Dai Qing's hand and asked, "Did you hurt King Zhao?" Isn't it? Liu Ying's angry question made Dai Qing dare not raise her head, Liu Ying deliberately pinched her wrist, and Dai Qing just insisted that she didn't dare to say that it hurt.

"Presumptuous!" Empress Lu was furious and scolded Liu Ying, "What is it like!" Don't let her go yet! ”

Liu Ying shook off Dai Qing's hand, faced her mother Lu Hou, and asked her straight to the point, "Did you send someone to kill Ruyi?" ”

Empress Lu pretended to be surprised, "Hasn't he been with you all the time?" How to mourn the family will harm him. ”

"He's dead, what lies is the queen mother still making up!" Liu Ying was furious, "Does his existence make the queen mother so painful?" Why are you so aggressive? ”

Empress Lu was furious, took the case, took three steps in front of him, looked directly at Liu Ying and said angrily, "You said that the mourning family is aggressive? When Qi Ji's mother and son kept bullying your father and said that they wanted to depose you, weren't they aggressive? When Qi Ji slandered your father and wanted to transfer you to Helan to garrison, weren't they aggressive? When Liu Ruyi was pushed into the water, your father pushed you away without asking, weren't they aggressive? The mourning family is like this for you, helping you ascend to the throne, do you blame me for being aggressive? ”

Liu Ying did not reduce her anger, "You hate your father so much, and the pain he has caused you, you have to put all of it on Qi Ji's mother and son." ”

"Yes!" Empress Lu said what was in her heart as if she was venting, "He gave me a lifetime of pain, I could have been virtuous and virtuous, and they forced me to be vicious and resolute." When he is with Qi Ji, I will not feel good; When he dotes on Liu Ruyi, you won't feel any better, right? For many years, the mourning family has never been truly happy, and living in their shadow is really the sorrow and shame of my Lu Pheasant!! Now that the mourning family has turned into the queen mother, what reason is there to let go of those who once wanted to be unfavorable to us? Liu Ying, you can be generous and tolerant, do you want your mother to have the same character as you? Mourning family, can't do it. ”

Liu Ying held back a lot of words, but never said it, just held back her anger and stared at her mother without saying a word. Liu Ying glanced at Empress Lu, walked out of the hall angrily, and when she reached the door, Liu Ying stopped and threw a sentence to Empress Lu without looking back, "Being the emperor is not what I want, and the pain you suffer is also your own choice." I don't want to talk to you about wishful thinking. Liu Ying has only one good mother, she is the kind and virtuous Lu Ejiao, not the ruthless and vicious Lu Pheasant! After that, Liu Ying left without looking back.

Empress Lu looked at Liu Ying's back in a daze, stunned in the hall, speechless for a long time.
