Chapter 178: Sword Dance

After a while, the bath soup was ready, and Dou Yifang took off his clothes and sat in the bath under the service of the blue clothes.

When the warm water overflowed his shoulders, Dou Yifang breathed a long sigh of relief, which was really very comfortable. Dou Yifang wanted to take a quiet bath, so he didn't let Lan Yi wait.

She likes to close her eyes alone, don't think about anything, and empty the whole person, so that when she gets up, she will definitely be full of energy. Before he knew it, Dou Yifang fell asleep.

After a short pause, she opened her eyes again, and suddenly found herself lying in the crook of a man's arm. She was startled, and when she raised her eyes, it turned out to be Liu Heng.

"Awake?" Liu Heng said softly, "It seems that you are tired......"

"When did you ...... king?"

"Shhhh......h ”

Dou Yifang's eyes became affectionate, and the tender lotus-like jade arm wrapped around Liu Heng's waist and hugged him tightly.

She stood on tiptoe, her chest pressed against Liu Heng's chest, her red lips gradually approached his face, and then she pressed it up and kissed it.

In order not to make Dou Yifang too hard, Liu Heng's hand slid down Dou Yifang's smooth back and lifted her up.

Dou Yifang sighed, and a seductive flush appeared on his face, corresponding to the petals on the water......

The next day, everyone in the harem was rewarded, among which Ju Changhuan had Mrs. Xi Jinfeng, Bi Wan and Dou Yifang Jin Feng Beauty, Han Lian and Qin Yilian were also long envoys, and the rest who were not promoted were rewarded.

Outside the Moyun Hall, a palace man handed over a bamboo slip to Wan Quan, and then left in a hurry. Wan Quan walked into the hall with the bamboo slips, and presented the bamboo slips to Liu Heng with both hands.

Liu Heng frowned, put down the pen in his hand, and took the bamboo slip. Untie the ribbon tied with the bamboo slips and spread the bamboo slips onto the table.

After reading it, his brow furrowed even deeper......

Fengyi Palace.

The bamboo slips were spread out on the table and presented in front of the concubine. The concubine's expression was solemn, her face was cloudy, and her eyes flashed with uneasiness.

This bamboo slip can be said to be a holy decree, from the Han Palace. The content is roughly that the birthday of the Empress Dowager Lu is approaching, and all the local kings are invited to the Han Palace to gather.

"A month ago, the envoy from the Han Court told the child that the queen mother's birthday was over, and at that time, Han'er dealt with the past on the grounds that he was busy with government affairs, and he didn't want the emperor to make a holy ......decree this time."

From Liu Heng's tone, it could be heard that he was very helpless and a little helpless.

"You haven't been to the Han Palace for a few years, we have been operating in Daidi for many years, and now Daidi Guotai Min'an, Empress Lu must be at ease with you......" Similarly, Concubine Pu also looked helpless and helpless.

"Mother, what should the child do? To go or not to go to this Han Palace? ”

"This decree is strong-worded, and if you don't go, you will resist it. Empress Lu has the heart to deal with us, if she doesn't go, won't she fall into her arms? ”

Liu Heng was silent for a moment, he seemed to have no choice.

"Go over there, be careful with everything, keep a low profile, understand?"

"The child understands."

Liu Heng stayed in Fengyi Palace for a while and then retired, and he still had to go to prepare for various matters to go to the Han Palace.

Concubine Pu looked at his distant back, her eyes full of worry.

……

Chunyan Pavilion.

"Sister, the king is going to the Han Palace to congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday, do you know this?"

Ju Changhuan came to tell Dou Yifang about this, and Dou Yifang was very strange how she learned about the outer court.

"Now that I know, why do you have any opinions?" Dou Yifang asked.

"Who do you think the king will take with him?" Ju Changhuan seemed very excited, as if he was about to go on an outing.

"The king is not here to play...... what is the situation in the Han Palace, Dou Yifang couldn't be clearer, no matter how brilliant the Han Palace is, it will eat people so much that they don't even vomit bones.

Now that Empress Dowager Lu is in charge of the Han Palace, she summoned Liu Heng to go, and her motives must be impure.

"People also want to go and see how this Chang'an is better than this Jinyang, I heard that the Han Palace is magnificent, and the palace is more than twice as big as this palace, isn't it?"

"Even if that's the case, the king won't take you there......"

Dou Yifang's words sound very hurtful, but this is also true, who made Ju Changhuan pregnant. Ju Changhuan could only pout helplessly and sulk.

Dou Yifang comforted her and asked her to take care of her body first and take care of the fetus. When the child is born, you can go wherever you want.

What she said was not nonsense, if Ju Changhuan could give birth to a boy, with her current status in Liu Heng's heart, wouldn't she be spoiled to heaven?

After listening to Dou Yifang's words, Ju Changhuan was relieved that he couldn't go to the Han Palace.

Moyuntang.

Liu Heng had just drawn up a list of these people who would go to Chang'an with him.

Among them are his uncle Pu Shao, Zhonglang General Zhang Wu, Tingwei Song Chang, Inner Palace Chief Guan Wanquan and others, as well as the beauty Dou Yifang. The departure date is set for three days later.

That night, Liu Heng went to Chunyan Pavilion again. At bedtime, he told Dou Yifang that he was going to take her to Chang'an.

Dou Yifang was very surprised when he heard this, "Why me?" She asked.

"Because you're familiar with what's going on over there, and you're smart enough."

"The king is praising the concubine?"

"This king just said something nice."

"Then you can say one more ......"

"Don't say it!"

"Say one more thing......"

Liu Heng couldn't help Dou Yifang's coquettishness, and said a few words of praise for her. Hearing this, Dou Yifang's face was red, and finally begged him not to say any more. The two started chatting from a joke and talked about this trip to the Han Palace.

The situation in the Han Court, Dou Yifang once had a long talk in the garden, and was later heard by Liu Heng, which was the main reason why Liu Heng decided to take Dou Yifang to Chang'an with him.

Since they all have a clear understanding of the Han Palace, they have no scruples about talking.

"What do you think of this trip to Chang'an?"

"The king is diligent and loves the people, and he is quite famous in the Han court, and the concubine thinks that this is the reason why the Empress Dowager Lu wants the king to go back......"

"What if I go?"

"I'm afraid that she won't magnify the king's return."

Dou Yifang's words pointed out Liu Heng's concerns, Liu Heng felt very relieved, there was his mother in this world, and I am afraid that only Dou Yifang knew what he was thinking.

"If she really wants to put this king under house arrest, do you have a way to get out?"

"The plan can't catch up with the change, it's a little too early for the king to ask now!!"

Liu Heng thought to himself that he was right, so he smiled self-deprecatingly. Ever since he received the emperor's decree, he has been restless. Compared with Dou Yifang's unfazed situation, he is still a little worse.

Perhaps, it is very correct to take this Dou Yifang to Chang'an with him.

The next day, the news that Dou Yifang was selected to accompany Liu Heng to Chang'an was learned by Ju Changhuan, and Ju Changhuan came to see Dou Yifang again, and he was envious of her in his heart.

Dou Yifang just laughed at this, if she knew the danger of going to Chang'an, maybe she wouldn't find it interesting.

Han Lian and Qin Yilian learned from Ju Changhuan that Dou Yifang was going to Chang'an with him, and the two came to see Dou Yifang off.

"Yifang, you have to be careful along the way." Han Lian said.

"You don't have to worry about me, but when I and the king are not in the palace, you have to be more cautious in doing things. What I'm worried about is that Queen Chen will deliberately find fault. "Dou Yi said.

"What are you afraid of, there is still me in the palace." Ju Changhuan patted his chest and said, "I take care of you." ”

"Changhuan, you are pregnant now, you can't do things as impulsively as before......"

"Well...... "It's really rare, Ju Changhuan didn't bump into Dou Yifang again this time, but nodded obediently.

For the rest of the day, there was nothing else to do, and soon it was time to set off.

Dou Yifang and Liu Heng rode in the same carriage, escorted by the guards led by Zhang Wu, and slowly left the capital and headed in the direction of Chang'an.

On the road, the people were in the middle of the road to say goodbye, looking forward to Liu Heng coming back as soon as possible.

On weekdays, I often hear people say that Liu Heng has won the hearts of the people, but now he has seen it with his own eyes, which makes Dou Yifang very moved.

Dou Yifang suddenly had a big rebellious thought: If Liu Heng was the son of the Han Dynasty, the country would not fall into the hands of the Lu family.

It's a pity that there is no what if......

"What are you thinking?" Liu Heng saw Dou Yifang sighing silently, so he asked.

Dou Yifang somehow became bold and said, "If you were the Son of Heaven, maybe it would be a peaceful and prosperous world now......

Seeing that Liu Heng's face was gloomy, Dou Yifang closed his mouth in amusement, and regretted saying such a thing.

But Liu Heng's face quickly turned from gloomy to clear, and then he stepped out of the window, looking at the people who supported him, and couldn't help but feel a little interested in that supreme position......

Dou Yifang said such a rebellious thing in front of Liu Heng, but Liu Heng didn't reprimand her, which made her understand that Liu Heng was not without ideas about the throne.

Even if it was just a little bit, Dou Yifang wanted to help him sit in that position. This is also the best revenge for Empress Lu.

Along the way, Xiaoxing stayed overnight, and there were states and counties along the way, so Dou Yifang and Liu Heng went very smoothly and soon came to Chang'an.

When I came to Chang'an, it was late at night, and it was past the hour.

Liu Heng originally planned to set up camp outside the city and wait for dawn to enter the city. But at this time, a messenger came to Chang'an, saying that he wanted them to enter the city overnight.

Let them enter the city, but where they enter the city is a low gate.

The low gate is not short, but it can't cross the carriage, and there is no problem for people to walk over.

They let Liu Heng enter the city through this gate, which was clearly an insult to Liu Heng. No matter how you say it, he is the king of a land, and according to the etiquette system, he should also enter through the main entrance.

But the messenger said that Chang'an is now in the curfew period, and the main gate will not be opened when it is over, so he can only grieve Liu Heng.

Even if Liu Heng came to Chang'an with the belief of acting in a low-key manner, he was unwilling to enter the city through the low gate.

At this point, Dou Yifang is behind him.

This Liu Heng is reluctant to enter the city now, and the situation will be embarrassing.

Liu Heng asked Zhang Wu to lead the carriage to the edge of the city, and then spent the night in the carriage with Dou Yifang, no matter what the envoy said, he just couldn't hear it.
