As soon as the stone door of the tomb opened, Tuoba Xian, the king of Shiping, rushed in, and at a glance saw a two-inch-long wound on Tuoba Hong's arm so that the blood flowing out would not coagulate, and the wound was cut several times, and he was about to speak, but Tuoba Hong waved his hand to stop him.

Feng Miao's lips still had a little red blood stains. When King Shiping saw it, he immediately understood, turned his head and took a cloak and handed it over.

Tuoba Hong's own robe was already wrapped around Feng Miao's body, he took the cloak, first took off the strap to cover Feng Miao's eyes, and then put it on his shoulder.

Outside the stone gate, Gao Huan stood with his hands down, watching this scene from afar. The light of the torch cast his wide-sleeved figure on the ground.

"Brother Huang, thanks to Lord Gao's early access to the ancient books, finding a way to pry open the top door stone from the outside, and just in time to meet with his ministers, the stone door of the tomb can be opened so smoothly." King Shiping led the horses while briefly talking about the situation in the palace in the past few days, "I'm afraid the imperial brother will have to hurry back, and if it's too late, the imperial grandmother will let the crown prince ascend the throne as the emperor." As soon as the ceremony of paying homage to the ancestors and announcing the world is over, things will be difficult to do. Can the royal brother still ride a horse? ”

Tuoba Hong nodded slightly, turned to Gao Gao Huan and said, "Xianqing has a heart, and I will reward him in the future." Gao Gao Huan only returned the salute in vain, and was not as sincere and fearful as other courtiers.

King Shiping sent the reins of the horse to Tuoba Hong, and asked Ayi to step forward to support Feng Miao, the sky was about to dawn, Tuoba Hong must return to the palace as soon as possible to prevent the crown prince from ascending the throne, but Feng Miao couldn't stand still, let alone ride a horse.

Tuoba Hong turned over and got on the horse, his movements were far less agile than usual, but he did not hesitate. He sat down on his horse, leaned down and pressed his hand on King Shiping's shoulder, "Brother Xian, thank you for taking care of her for me." He paused, and said unnaturally, "Don't let the guards hold her, I ...... will feel uncomfortable. ”

In the Lingquan Palace, the Queen Mother, who had not slept all night, had already changed into her dress. There was no time to sew new clothes, so Aunt Cui temporarily found a few palace maids who accompanied her, and temporarily changed them into dresses with the clothes she wore when she entertained the leaders of the Northland. The neckline and cuffs were decorated with a circle of various colored gemstones, and the phoenix pattern on the placket was also re-embroidered with shining gold thread. Dressed properly, Aunt Cui used a rhino horn comb to help the Queen Mother pull up her hair in a bun, and her hair was fluffy like withered grass in her hand, and most of her hair was already white.

"Jinxin, you've already done the thing that the mourning family asked you to arrange, right?" The face reflected in the bronze mirror, with deep-set eye sockets and high cheekbones, carries a tiredness that cannot be dissipated.

"Yes, it's all arranged." The comb was stuck in a tangled strand of hair, Aunt Cui took out the rhino horn comb, and poured a little jasmine hair oil on the palm of her hand, "Actually, why should the Empress Dowager be like this, the crown prince will ascend the throne smoothly today, everything is within your control." ”

The Empress Dowager took the tangled hair from her hand, picked up the silver scissors on the dressing table, and with a "click", the hair fell lightly to the ground, "Sooner or later, I will have to make this step of arrangement, the mourning family is already forty-nine years old, and I can't protect the Feng family for a few years." The Empress Dowager sighed faintly, "Brother Xi has the talent to lead the troops, but he is very dull in dealing with people. In the past few years, the emperor has guarded against the Feng family, and Brother Xi's skills have not been displayed. There is only so much that the mourning family can do, even if the mourning family is gone, the emperor still has to rely on the Feng family to balance the power of the court. ”

A sharp stabbing pain hit her brain, and the Empress Dowager held a smooth and round warm jade ball, enduring the pain, "When the child grows up, they will know the ......" The unbearable pain cut off her words.

Aunt Cui hurriedly took a gold-covered locket from the dressing table, but when she opened it, it was empty. It was supposed to contain the beauty night balm sent by Prince Feng, which used to be delivered once every three days, but recently the empress dowager has become more and more inseparable from this balm, and she has to light this incense almost all night to fall asleep.

The ceremony of the new emperor's enthronement was about to begin, but the empress dowager's headache flare-up at this time, and Aunt Cui was so anxious that she didn't know what to do. She pushed open the door and called a little palace maid in, asking her to go and invite Grand Prince Feng to come over immediately.

As soon as the little palace maid answered, she turned back with a surprised face, and behind her, Feng Dan walked in with a small box. The hem of his coat was wet with dew, apparently from the overnight gallop, and there were dead branches and leaves stuck to his bun.

Feng Dagongzi, who has always been neatly dressed and brightly dressed, didn't care about tidying up his sideburns, walked quickly to the Empress Dowager, took out the balm from the box, and put it in the small tripod used for incense, "Auntie, nephew expects that you have been overworked in the past few days, but the enthronement ceremony is about to be held, and you still have to accept the congratulations of the ministers." My nephew had rushed to meet the man who had delivered the balm last night, and had come back early with the balm, so that my aunt would be in good spirits at the new emperor's enthronement ceremony. ”

He made a fire with a stalk of hay specially designed to ignite the beauty at night, and was about to light the balm, when he suddenly heard the Empress Dowager call him, "Birthday, every time the mourning family uses this balm, the effect is immediate, but the headache becomes more and more serious after that." The mourning family thought that they should still call the imperial doctor to see if this spice was suitable for the mourning family. ”

Feng Dan's hand shook, and the flame on the grass stalk went out with this slight shaking. He raised his head to meet the Empress Dowager's gaze, and smiled as mellow as he had in the past twenty years, "Auntie, my nephew has already said that you should ask the imperial doctor for diagnosis for your headache, but you always say that it is not a big deal." ”

"My nephew first accompanied my aunt to burn these balms, and troubled Aunt Cui to invite the imperial doctor to come, and immediately after the ceremony, I will treat my aunt." He took a new piece of hay, put it on the palace wax, lit it, and threw it into the incense ding.

The Empress Dowager looked at Feng Dan intently, his expression and movements were exactly the same as usual, and he did not see the slightest panic. Cigarettes came out of the copper tripod, and Feng Dan sat beside the Empress Dowager, closer to the incense tripod.

The pain in the brain is too intense, and the cool breath of the beauty at night is like clear water dripping into the smoke, refreshing the spleen. The Empress Dowager slowly closed her eyes, "That's it, let's wait until after the enthronement ceremony." Jinxin, you go to the side hall to see Xi'er, don't make him cry at the ceremony. ”

In the Taihe Palace, the important ministers of the clan who came with the royal driver were already waiting in the palace. The emperor has been missing for five days, and I am afraid that there will be more than one bad luck. After today, it is the old woman and child sitting on the dragon throne again, and some people have quietly calculated in their hearts how to blackmail the empress dowager and abolish the ban promulgated by the emperor when the time comes.

King Guangyang and King Shiping were not there, only Li Chong wore a regular dress to the palace, and he didn't even wear an official robe. He sat diagonally opposite the crowd, lonely and stubbornly expressed his attitude, and would never bow down to the new king.

The auspicious time had already passed, but neither the Empress Dowager nor the Crown Prince came, and the longer they waited, the more restless the people in the hall became. Someone has already started whispering, could it be that things have changed again.

Some of the princes, who were strong and strong, were already waiting impatiently, and began to shout, and sent their retinue to the Empress Dowager's dormitory to see what was going on. The news brought back by the entourage made people even more suspicious, the Empress Dowager suddenly fell ill, and the imperial doctor was treating her.

Tuoba Cheng, the king of Rencheng, was originally opposed to the crown prince's accession to the throne, but at this time he was obviously relieved, and said loudly, "In this case, let's disperse first, and wait for the news from the empress dowager." ”

Several princes of his generation refused to let go of this good opportunity, and said in a strange manner, "Now that the emperor's whereabouts are unknown, the empress dowager is sick at this time, and the Rouran people, Gaoche people, and Tuyuhun people are still in the palace, how can we just disperse like this?" Since they are all here today, simply choose another suitable person to take the position. ”

King Ren Cheng glared angrily, "The emperor doesn't know where he is, you don't say that you will send someone to find it, but you remember this throne." The Xianbei nobles already have the habit of matching swords with swords, and in addition, they are in the palace, and the rules are no better than the Pingcheng Forbidden Palace, so the king of Rencheng "Cangchang" pulled out his saber, "Whoever wants to be this emperor, step over me first." ”

Seeing that he was about to start his hand, a clear and clear voice suddenly came from outside the main hall, with a somewhat confident smile, "What are you doing with Uncle Wang, I can't leave for a few days, why are you arguing?" ”

The noisy hall was quiet for a moment because of this sentence. The relatives and nobles turned their heads to look at the door in disbelief, and even the guards and inner supervisors couldn't help but turn their heads sideways to look quietly. Tuoba Hong was dressed in a plain robe, without any gold and jade accessories, and he was getting thinner and paler, but his eyes were shining brightly.

"Your Majesty ......" King Ren Cheng was so surprised that he even forgot to bow down, and stepped forward to support Tuoba Hong's shoulder, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back." ”

King Guangyang, dressed in armor, followed Tuoba Hong into the Taihe Palace, and his powerful voice buzzed and echoed in the hall, "The emperor is here, why don't you princes kneel down and salute?" ”

After several years of deliberate management, the strength of the soldiers and horses of the King of Guangyang has been good, aside from the number of people, his soldiers and horses are the only ones who have gone south to fight, and they are not the same as the lazy guards raised in Pingcheng. The bright armor clearly represents the soldiers under his command who swore allegiance to the emperor. The princes had to grit their teeth and bow their heads and bow to the emperor.

Tuoba Hong walked slowly to the throne and said in a warm voice, "When I accompanied my grandmother to inspect the Yonggu Mausoleum, I suddenly remembered my father, emperor and mother. I am the son of man, but I have not been able to fulfill my filial piety, so I fasted for five days in the Hall of Ten Thousand Years to pray for my father, the emperor and the concubine. ”

He rushed all the way back to the Lingquan Palace, first went to change into clean clothes, and hurried to the Taihe Palace. Disappeared for five days for no reason, and he had to give a reasonable explanation.

He had only eaten a little in five days, suffered a few more wounds on his body, and rode all the way back to the palace, and Tuoba Hong was already a little vague in his footsteps, and his ears were buzzing. But he tried his best to maintain the last trace of clear thought, and smiled calmly. He was only one step away, and he couldn't afford to fall short at this point.

Tuoba Hong's gaze slowly swept over the main hall, and these relatives who were older than him in age and seniority bowed their heads one by one under his gentle but firm gaze. Tuoba Hong's voice clearly reached everyone's ears: "I heard that my grandmother has suddenly fallen ill and is going to visit now, and if you have nothing else to do, you can go with me." ”
