In the winter of this year, Lu Jingheng's health was extremely poor, and one day in the court, he actually fainted.

After that, he not only coughed day and night, but even vomited blood after entering the wax moon.

Xia Qian was angry and said that if the imperial doctors couldn't come up with a good prescription to treat the emperor, they would behead all the imperial doctors of the court.

Saying this, she held the computer in private, and read the classical books and medical works that came with the computer day and night, but there was no Internet in ancient times, and there was no record of Lu Jingheng's symptoms in the limited resources.

Lu Jingheng saw that she was worried about herself day and night, and he knew that time was running out and he couldn't hide it, so he told her the truth.

"Coriander, you don't have to worry about me. I am very satisfied to live to this day, and it is a gift from God to me to be able to accompany you through these three years. Death is nothing to me, it's just ...... Ahem, I'm really reluctant to leave you! Ahem, ahem! He reclined on the bed and looked at her with a tired smile.

Xia Qian looked at him in a panic and persuaded: "You are the emperor, the crown prince is just four years old, and he can't afford the heavy responsibility of the Yi country, you must hope for the benefits, you ...... You're still so young......"

After Lu Jingheng coughed a few times, he spat out a few mouthfuls of blood in a row, and talked about his physical condition with difficulty: "Six years ago, the Lu family was framed by Simon, and many colleagues in the court fell into the well, and I was seriously injured and fell into the Xuyu River, and was rescued by a fisherman downstream. Originally, I couldn't save my life, but by chance I met the poison doctor Nangong Mingniang, who saw that I was in a miserable situation and felt pity. So, while helping me save my life, he changed my appearance. It's just that although the body has basically recovered, he has been weak and sick since then, and he no longer has the power to restrain the chicken. Later, I met you in the Yi Palace, and while taking revenge, I guarded you. Three years ago, I met the poison doctor again and begged him to help me restore my appearance and give me a slightly tougher body, and she said that she could do it, but at the cost of only three years of life. Three years, hehe, I am very satisfied, because these three years are a gift from God, giving me the opportunity to stand by your side openly and protect you justifiably! It's worth it! ”

"You...... Why are you so stupid? Xia Qian looked at the haggard Lu Jingheng, and tears fell like rain in an instant.

The day before Chinese New Year's Eve, Lu Jingheng suddenly fell unconscious, the imperial doctors knelt in front of the dragon bed helplessly, the entire palace did not have the slightest sense of age, the civil and military officials knelt outside the Zichen Hall and prayed for him silently, Xia Qian sat next to Lu Jingheng and did not close his eyes all night.

When the people of Qinglong City learned of this, they all burned incense and prayed at home to pray for the emperor's blessing.

On the evening of the second day of junior high school, Lu Jingheng finally opened his eyes.

Looking at Xia Qian, who was exhausted after two days and two nights, he smiled with relief: "I'm already very tired, but when I think of you, I feel reluctant." After working hard for a long time, I finally opened my eyes again! ”

"It's good if you don't give up, accompany me and our children! You see, they're all here, with you all afternoon! Xia Qian said, and hurriedly woke up Yue Yue and Qin Shui, who were sleeping on the edge of the dragon couch.

The two children rubbed their eyes and called their father excitedly, the four-year-old they didn't know what death was and what goodbye was, but they were very scared when they saw that their father had been asleep.

"Daddy, get up and play with us! It's snowing outside, shall we go and see the snow? ”

Lu Jingheng smiled, looked out the window, and asked Xia Qian, "Is it snowing?" How long did I sleep? ”

"Well, it started after dinner, and it hasn't accumulated on the ground yet. What do you want to eat? I told him to do it. Xia Qian replied happily.

"Daddy, can you take us to see the snow?" The two children took his hand and said coquettishly.

; Lu Jingheng coughed for a while, and spit out another mouthful of blood, Xia Qian quickly dispersed the two children and helped him lean on the bed.

He looked at the panicked eyes of the children and replied with a smile: "Okay, when the snow is flying outside and the world is covered in snow, Daddy will accompany you to see the snow!" ”

As soon as Xia Qianchuan's imperial meal came up, Lu Jingheng fell into a coma again.

In order to let him recuperate, she handed over the two children to Yu Nuan to take with her, and she stayed in Zichen Hall to accompany Lu Jingheng.

On the seventh day of the first lunar month, the envoy sent by Lu Jingheng to the east wing returned to the court, saying that he had something important to ask to see the emperor.

Xia Qian had no choice but to meet him outside the Zichen Hall with several important ministers in the court.

The envoys sent out looked at everyone in panic, and conveyed the words of the Eastern Wing Kingdom in horror: "The Wing King said: The Holy Lord is a thief of the country, his name is not right, his words are not good, and he does not want to associate with us. In addition to that, it also makes us ......"

"How about Rang Yi Guo? Go on! Xia Qian asked angrily as if she had a boulder blocked in her heart.

The envoy knelt on the ground and cried tremblingly: "The king of the east wing said that the fourteen cities in our eastern border originally belonged to their eastern wing, let us return them to them!" ”

Prime Minister He Jinliang said angrily: "Nonsense, the fourteen cities in the east were originally the territory of our Yi country, when did they become their eastern wing?" They just see that Simon is getting stronger and stronger, and they want to befriend Simon and encircle our country! ”

"Fourteen cities?" Xia Qian sneered, "Hmph! He thought they had a Heshi Bi, and they wanted to rob us of fourteen cities as soon as they opened it! ”

The envoy lay on the ground and kowtowed, trembling and added: "The king of the east wing said that if these fourteen cities are not given to them before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, they will send troops to attack the kingdom of Yi!" ”

"Fight and fight, who is afraid of whom?" Shi Rong replied angrily.

The others were all silent, not because they were afraid of the eastern flank, but because if there was a war in the east, and Simon took the opportunity to attack, then the kingdom would really be finished.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there are only seven days!

Lu Jingheng's deep coma, the aggressiveness of the east flank, Xia Qian faced the greatest pressure since the envoy.

She sat in Zichen Palace, looking at the terminally ill Lu Jingheng, and stayed awake all night.

The next day, Luo Yucheng, He Jinliang, Shi Rong and others asked to see her, although they didn't think of a way to deal with it, but everyone's purpose was the same, that is, to tell her: no matter how big the difficulties are, everyone will face them with her and live and die with the country.

In fact, by now, everyone has long been friends who share weal and bene, and in their hearts, she and Lu Jingheng have no distinction between dignity and inferiority, and they also have no distinction between high and low with these friends.

Even if everyone doesn't say it, she knows that these people will always be on the side of Yi Guo and on her side.

In the evening of the next day, Huo Zun, the king of Yongxing, asked to see him outside the Zichen Palace.

Seeing Xia Qian, he was silent for a long time, saying that he had a bold idea.

"There is nothing to be done at the moment, if King Yongxing has any way, he might as well say it directly!" Xia Qian asked seriously.

Huo Zun looked at her and asked calmly, "Queen Mother...... Have you ever thought about borrowing troops from Mobei? ”

"Borrowed soldiers? Are you saying that Tuoba Jin and Situ Jun should deal with the East Wing King? No, it's too hard for them! The form of Mobei has just stabilized in the past three years, if you prepare for the eastern flank, it will make the two of them fall into the name of unfilial piety, and it will also make the people of Mobei complain about the hardships of the battle and be dissatisfied with them! ”
