The wait is long and boring.

The people in the main hall slowly turned into dead silence from the initial panic and worry.

The queen of heaven leaned on a few days, half-closed eyes, as if she was taking a nap, and as if she was so sad that she couldn't face it.

The prince on the lower table didn't see too much sadness, he sat on the couch and couldn't sit still, moving his body from time to time, and a pair of eyes swept over the queen and the ministers from time to time, and finally lowered his head, but he was bored playing with the tea pot on the table.

The virtuous king Li Yu had a sad face, his face was pale, his expression was in a trance, and everyone felt that he was sad for the sake of the saint's illness, and they couldn't bear it.

Xianwang Li Xian was ordinary, sitting quietly on his couch, looking ordinary, but his calm and resolute eyes in the past were slightly red at this time.

Among the princes, only King Chen Liuwang kept his head down, not looking at the queen of heaven or others, just staring at his robe, stunned, so that people couldn't see his joy and sorrow.

Gu Mingzhu followed Princess Anping into the palace, and the queen of heaven opened her eyes, and when she saw the two of them with worried looks, her heart couldn't help but soften, and she called them to sit down behind her, and asked the palace maid to quietly send them pastries to satisfy their hunger, because such a wait may not end in an hour or two, and it may be longer.

However, the time was still beyond their imagination, and there was no news when it was almost time, and the imperial doctor ordered to say back and forth that the saint was still unconscious.

According to the rules, when the drums sounded at sunset, except for the crown prince, no other prince could stay in the palace, and it was inconvenient for the courtiers to stay in the Ganlu Palace, after all, this was still the inner palace.

After Guo Sheng and Gu Qing discussed, it was decided to let Lu Suiliang and Ma Yuanji stay in Zhongshu Province for the night, and the princes would go back to their homes and enter the palace immediately when the palace gate was opened tomorrow morning.

The queen of heaven lasted for a day, and she was also extremely tired, she nodded, gave a few words, and let them leave.

Waiting for the people in the hall to disperse, she forced a smile and said to Princess Anping: "I'm afraid it's scared of you, your father's body is not very good, so you have to prepare." ”

She stretched out her hand and stroked Princess Anping's thin and soft hair: "Originally, I wanted to choose a marriage for you with your father, and choose a colt with outstanding talents, which can also teach us to rest assured, but your father and emperor are ...... I'm afraid I can't wait. ”

As soon as this sentence was finished, Princess Anping's tears that she had finally calmed down were drawn out again, and she cried and threw herself into the arms of the queen of heaven: "A-Niang, A-Niang, I don't want a horse, I want my father and you to be well, and I want to accompany you......"

These days there have been constant changes in the palace, Princess Anping was originally too well protected, where has she experienced this, she only feels full of fear.

The queen of heaven hugged her, and her heart softened into a puddle of water, but she had to sit up straight: "Anping, you have to follow Mingzhu these days, ask her more about anything, A-Niang still has to take care of the affairs of the palace and the court, I really can't take care of you." ”

Although Princess Anping was full of grievances, she also knew that now was not the time to be willful, so she sobbed and nodded: "Auntie, don't worry, I'm fine, and I want to protect you with Mingzhu and accompany you......"

The queen of heaven felt even more sad, don't turn her face and didn't want Princess Anping to see her tears, waved her hand and said to Gu Mingzhu: "You take her down, take a good rest, I'm afraid there will be many things tomorrow." ”

It is already late spring, the night is not so early, and the night wind has no chill, it is the good weather for the grass to grow and the warbler to fly, but the Taiji Palace this night is exceptionally quiet.

Except for the faint cry that came from the palace, as if he had foreseen the fate of the future.

Gu Mingzhu slept very unsteadily this night, as if she was in a dream, and she seemed to be awake, but she couldn't live in peace, as if she was hanging something in her heart.

She woke up in the dark, and through the curtains, she could faintly see the lamp lit by the palace maid on night duty in the blue gauze cupboard outside, but she couldn't hear the slightest sound, maybe the palace maid on night was already asleep.

She sat up and called in a low voice twice, and Ah Bi walked in quickly: "County Lord, why did you wake up when you were ugly?" ”

Gu Mingzhu asked her to take a few bites of tea and soup, and then she lay down again but couldn't close her eyes anymore, and her heart was in a mess.

It's because of Cui Lin's matter, although she comforted herself that with Cui Lin and Cui Yi's ability, there would never be too much danger, but when she thought that he was now under the control of others, she didn't know what it was for, what his plans were, and she didn't know where she was, so she felt that she couldn't settle down, but she didn't know when there would be news.

Since she couldn't sleep, she simply called Abi: "You can rest by my couch and talk to me." ”

Ah Bi was taken aback, she had never seen Gu Mingzhu like this, in the past, she had to think about and decide everything by herself, and she had never been so flustered.

It's just that she didn't ask much, so she cleaned up her couch and came over, spreading out a small couch next to Gu Mingzhu's couch and half-lying down to accompany Gu Mingzhu.

Gu Mingzhu couldn't tell her about Cui Lin, so she had to talk about the general's mansion and the things in the shop, and it was rare for the master and servant to be able to talk about family life.

It's just that after talking for most of the hour, Gu Mingzhu is still not sleepy, Abi is mentally energetic on weekdays, but he can't hold it anymore.

Until that firelight burned the sky red, even the window lattices of the palace were reflected red, and the master and servant woke up.

Ah Bi was so excited that she didn't care about putting on her coat, she quickly stepped forward and pushed open the window, and what she saw was the raging fire in the northwest of Chang'an City, as well as the noisy roar in the quiet night, although it was too far to hear clearly, but it also made her face change greatly.

Gu Mingzhu had already put on his robe and walked to the window, looked at the big fire and frowned, and ordered Ah Bi: "Change your clothes and go to the main hall." ”

At such a time, even the wind and grass may be a big event, and there can be no slackness.

When they hurriedly changed their dresses, wore their hair in a bun and carried lanterns to the main hall in the night wind, the palace maids on duty at night had also woken up, and hurriedly knelt down to say goodbye.

"Go and report to the mother, I'm afraid that something has happened to Chang'an Ximen." She was concise and to the point, but her expression was solemn.

The palace maid was so frightened that she knew that she couldn't delay, so she hurriedly got up and went to the inner hall.

The queen of heaven also wore her hair in a thick bun, walked out of the hall quickly in a homely robe, and said to Gu Mingzhu, who stood up and saluted: "What's the matter?" ”

Gu Mingzhu frowned tightly, and said in a low voice: "There is a fire on the west gate, and there is still the sound of fighting, I am afraid that something has happened, and I have already ordered someone to go and find out the news quickly." ”

Simon! The queen of heaven suddenly remembered something: "Xishan camp? ”

Some time ago, the prince insisted on taking the Xishan camp under the command of Huang Zhao, is this ......

The queen of heaven and Gu Mingzhu glanced at each other, and they both saw shock and worry in each other's eyes, but they were afraid that something big was really going to happen.
