Chapter 52

In the palace, Queen Liu often makes children's clothes and trousers, gadgets, and people send them to Situ Changkong, and often goes out of the palace to visit Situ Changkong, parents, and brothers. But in order not to worry her family, Queen Liu did not complain to her family about the hardships in the palace. But whether a woman is doing well or not is written on her face, how can her family not know.

The war between Yu and Liang was protracted. The troops of Yu were insufficient, and Liu Xiangru ran around, dispatching troops and horses, and coordinating the balance of all parties. Just when Liu Xiangru was running outside. Liu Tusheng took the initiative to ask Ying to go to the front line to lead the troops to fight, and Emperor Jingwu issued an order to approve it.

As a result, Liu Tusheng was ambushed by the enemy at the front line. Liu Xiangru led the troops to the front line to rescue him, but only brought back Liu Tusheng's body. Liu Xiangru was also ambushed and seriously injured as a result.

The Liu family was killed and seriously injured, and the Liu family was devastated. Situ Yingying hugged the corpse of her son Liu Tusheng and cried, and when Queen Liu arrived, Situ Yingying had already fainted from crying. Empress Liu wept while taking care of her crying mother and her seriously injured and unconscious father. Situ Xiaomei's death has caused Queen Liu's psychological trauma. Now that her brother who loved her had also died, Queen Liu covered her chest and felt her heart begin to drip blood.

But the misfortune is not a one-way street, Situ Yingying did not relieve her breath due to the pain of losing her son, and died of a sudden heart attack. Queen Liu hugged her mother's corpse and cried, the cry was earth-shattering, and at this moment Queen Liu felt that her heart was broken and her home was shattered.

And Liu Xiangru woke up, and before he could recover from the loss of his beloved son, he heard that his beloved wife died of illness, and he fainted again after being shocked. Queen Liu accompanied her father Liu Xiangru and took care of her for three days. The eunuchs in the palace were ordered to urge Queen Liu to return to the palace, and stayed outside the palace for a long time, which did not comply with the palace rules. Empress Liu turned a deaf ear and continued to take care of her father.

Empress Houliu fainted due to overwork. When Empress Liu woke up, she found herself in a cage-like palace. Emperor Jingwu still had no words of concern or comfort for Empress Liu, nor did he come to visit, but only sent the chief eunuch Wan Jingnian to visit, and Wan Jingnian told Empress Liu that the emperor would not hold her accountable for violating the palace rules in the pain of her loss of her mother and brother.

Empress Liu lived a depressed life in the cold palace, and her mood could only be slightly relieved when she went out of the palace to visit her father and Situ Changkong. Because he was afraid that his father would worry, he did not mention the suffering in the palace to his father.

Liu Xiangru endured the pain of losing his son and wife, coupled with serious physical injuries, and was raised in bed for more than a year before he could get out of bed and move. Liu Xiangru also hated Emperor Jingwu from then on. Emperor Jingwu not only ruined the happiness of his beloved daughter's life, but also launched the Battle of the South China Sea despite everyone's opposition, causing the Liang Kingdom to take the opportunity to go to war, resulting in the death of his beloved son and the death of his beloved wife due to excessive grief.

Liu Xiangru's support for Emperor Jingwu was not as good as before, but he still worked hard for the Yu State to resist foreign enemies and improve people's livelihood. Because although Liu Xiangru hates Emperor Jingwu, he is still a minister of Yu.

Yu and Liang have been at war for many years, and the people's livelihood of the two countries is difficult, and they are all exhausted, and they all have the meaning of a truce. At that time, Li Huansha, the lifelong love of Emperor Jingwu's long disappearance, appeared. Li Huansha is a peerless beauty, with a gentle temperament, good at poetry, singing and dancing, and excellent color and art. Emperor Jingwu wanted to seal Li Huansha as a concubine and include her in the palace.

At this moment, the hostile Liu family and the Qin family joined forces for the first time to prevent Li Huansha from entering the palace.

Prime Minister Liu Cheng knows his daughter's difficulties in the palace, if Li Huansha enters the palace, his daughter's life will be even more difficult, and even the position of queen will fall into the hands of Li Huansha. After all, the position of Empress Wu of the prospect has been vacant for many years, just for Li Huansha.

Qin Dazai also knew that Qin Guifei was favored in order to suppress the Liu family. Emperor Jingwu is not lustful, he goes to the harem two or three times a month, and spends most of his time in a daze at the portrait of Li Huansha.

However, Emperor Jingwu still ignored the opposition of the two important ministers and wanted to take Li Huansha into the palace.

Emperor Jingwu launched a war and fought for many years, resulting in the decline of national strength, and he had already lost the hearts of the powerful in the court, and now he had lost the support of the Liu family and the Qin family. The powerful people in the court began to incite the Liu family and the Qin family, pulled Emperor Jingwu off the throne, and supported King Jingde, the brother of Emperor Jingwu, as the emperor. Prime Minister Liu Cheng first sent people to Liangguo to lobby, and then informed Emperor Jingwu of the political rebellion of the powerful people in the court.

Although Prime Minister Liu hated Emperor Jingwu, he also protected Emperor Jingwu. It's not because of Empress Liu, the powerful people in the court said that after Emperor Jingwu stepped down, King Jingde would crown Empress Liu as the queen mother after he ascended the throne, and it was better to be the queen mother than to be the queen. It's not because of Jing Tianqi's grandson, Jing Tianqi was raised by Emperor Jingwu since he was a child and did not have contact with the Liu family, so Jing Tianqi was very cold to Queen Liu and Prime Minister Liu. It is because the national strength of Yu is weakened, and it can no longer withstand the toss of infighting between the DPRK and China and the replacement of the throne. In order to revive the Yu Kingdom, Prime Minister Liu Cheng decided to keep Emperor Jingwu, who hated in his heart.

Prime Minister Liu asked Empress Liu to ask Liu Qingge to come forward and support Emperor Jingwu, and the powerful people in the court naturally did not dare to touch Emperor Jingwu. Queen Liu knew that her father's move was for the good of the country, and she wanted to leave immediately to invite Liu Tingge. Prime Minister Liu stopped him and told Empress Liu to invite her ancestors in a few days.

A few days later, the envoy of the Liang State came to the court and negotiated a truce with the Yu State, on the condition that the Yu State paid some gold, silver, jewelry and the beauty Li Huansha. At that time, because of the endless war and the hardships of the people's livelihood, all forces wanted a truce. The conditions offered by Liangguo were very simple, and the ministers knelt down and asked Emperor Jingwu to offer beauties in exchange for peace in the world.

The magnates in the court are also watching Emperor Jingwu, if he refuses to offer a beauty, he will lose the hearts of the people, and he can take the opportunity to pull him off the horse. Emperor Jingwu negotiated with the envoy of the Liang Kingdom and gave other beauties to the Liang King Shang Rui. The envoy of Liangguo shook his head, saying that Emperor Shang Rui had to Li Huansha, and he didn't know the specific reason.

In the end, Emperor Jingwu sent Li Huansha to Liangguo for the sake of national righteousness, and Emperor Shang Rui named Li Huansha as Concubine Li.

On the day Li Huansha was sent away, Emperor Jingwu wept. That was the only time in Empress Liu's life that she saw Emperor Jingwu crying. Queen Liu never thought that the iron-clad man would also shed tears.

After that, Empress Liu asked her ancestor Liu Tingge to support Emperor Jingwu, and the magnates no longer dared to have different intentions. And King Jingde was demoted to the Marquis of Anjun.

Since then, Emperor Jingwu has rarely come to the harem, and the harem has become deserted.

Empress Liu guards the deserted Kunning Palace, Emperor Jingwu does not necessarily come once a year, Queen Liu lives a lonely and lonely life, and occasionally goes out of the palace to visit her father and Situ Changkong.

As for Sedum Qi, as he grew older, he became more and more like Emperor Jingwu, whom Queen Liu hated and hated, plus the mother and son had never lived together, lacking the love of mother and son, Sedum Qiqi was also cold to Queen Liu. Queen Liu's mother-son affection for Sedum Tianqi also gradually cooled.

Later, Queen Liu transferred her mother's love to Situ Changkong, often made pastries and small clothes for him, and then ordered someone to give them to Situ Changkong. Due to the decline of the Situ family, the Situ family was jealous of Emperor Jingwu. Situ Changkong is the son of the guard, and it is even more difficult to have a bright future. For the sake of Situ Changkong's future, Empress Liu took the initiative to ask Liu Tingge to accept Situ Changkong as an apprentice without the consent of Emperor Jingwu and Prime Minister Liu Cheng.

Emperor Jingwu was even more unkind to Queen Liu because of this matter.

Spring goes to autumn, and more than ten years pass in a blink of an eye. Under the teaching of Liu Tingge, Situ Changkong grew into a young man with dignified appearance, both civil and military, and good moral character. But even though Situ Changkong is so good, no family is willing to marry him.

Empress Liu wanted to marry a virtuous and virtuous wife for Situ Changkong, but Situ Changkong refused. Once, when Queen Liu delivered a handmade pastry to Situ Changkong, Situ Changkong inadvertently dropped a silk handkerchief. Queen Liu picked up the silk handkerchief, the silk handkerchief is very old, embroidered with the pattern of hibiscus flowers, this is the girl's silk handkerchief. Situ Changkong treasures it so much, presumably that girl is Situ Changkong's sweetheart. Empress Liu asked Situ Changkong Sipa's own. Situ Changkong blushed and hesitated, unwilling to tell Queen Liu, saying that he was not worthy.

After several inquiries, Queen Liu learned that Sipa was Liu Mengyun's. At that time, Liu Mengyun and Duan Yiji made a marriage contract, and they could only sigh that Liu Mengyun and Situ Changkong had no chance. Later, Qin Dazai stirred up the situation, and the marriage between Duan Yi and Liu Mengyun collapsed.

Queen Liu made a decree to marry Liu Mengyun to Situ Changkong. Liu Mengyun's reputation was damaged because of the failure of the marriage, and it was difficult to find a good family again, but it would not be married to the son of the guard of the declining family.

Liu Shangshu first asked Queen Liu to push off the marriage, and then asked Prime Minister Liu to intercede. Liu Chengxiang regarded Situ Xiaomei as a daughter, and also regarded Situ Changkong as a grandson, so he persuaded Liu Shangshu to agree to this family business. Liu Shangshu was angry that Queen Liu's family valued Situ Changkong so much, so he went to Emperor Jingwu to ask for a decree and cancel the marriage.

Emperor Jingwu asked Empress Liu to take back the decree, and Empress Liu asked Liu to support Emperor Jingwu's kindness back then, and asked Emperor Jingwu to repay and complete this family business. Emperor Jingwu was helpless, so he asked Liu Shangshu to marry his daughter to Situ Changkong, and Liu Shangshu was so angry that he almost resigned.

Liu Shangshu went to Situ Changkong again, wanting to persuade him to quit this family business. After seeing Situ Changkong, seeing his extraordinary manners, and learning that Situ Changkong was Liu Qinge's disciple, he agreed to this family business. If Liu Mengyun quits this family business again, his reputation will be even worse, and it will be even more difficult to discuss his relatives in the future. After Situ Changkong and Liu Mengyun got married, he was ashamed of Liu Mengyun and asked her to marry herself, which was doubly good to Liu Mengyun, and Liu Mengyun gradually fell in love with Situ Changkong.

Over the years, Prime Minister Liu and Queen Liu's bodies have gradually weakened. Prime Minister Liu Cheng thought of his daughter's difficulties in the palace, so he concealed his illness. Empress Liu didn't want her father to worry, and she also concealed her illness. Both father and daughter reported good news but not bad news.

For many years, in order to revitalize the strength of Yuguo, Prime Minister Liu Cheng has worked hard and tried all kinds of plans to exhaust his mental strength, resulting in serious physical injuries. Although Prime Minister Liu hated Emperor Jingwu, he always remembered that he was a minister of Yu. This time, the Liang State sent troops to Yu State, and Prime Minister Liu Cheng, who was already weak, once again planned and dispatched in many ways, causing his body to run out of oil and dry up, and died violently in front of the desk case.

After Queen Liu heard the bad news of her father's violent death, she was already seriously ill and passed out. Queen Liu is bent on death, all her relatives have left her, and she has no nostalgia for the world. Situ Chang has become a talented person and made a contribution, there is no need to worry, and he can also explain to Situ Xiaomei underground.

If there is an afterlife, Liu Aiying will no longer be anyone's wife, only the daughter of her parents, the elder brother's sister, and the younger sister's sister.

However, Emperor Jingwu needed Liu Qingge, so he ordered the imperial doctor to do everything he could to hang Queen Liu's life and make her wake up and speak. In Queen Liu's consciousness, Lin Xiaoyue understood the reason for the matter, and also felt Queen Liu's pain and despair.

Lin Xiaoyue said: Ge'er, what Emperor Jingwu wants is not to save Queen Liu, but you.

Liu Tingge said: Sister Yue'er, political rights and wrongs are inexhaustible.

Lin Xiaoyue said: Ge'er, I don't want to get involved in it, I just want to have a good time.

Liu Tingge said: Sister Yue'er still understands songs.

Lin Xiaoyue said: Ge'er, you want to complete the last thing for Queen Liu.

Singer Liu Tilt: Sister Yue'er, I promised Xiao Ying'er three things. But Xiao Ying'er has nothing to love, so she won't mention the third thing to me.

Lin Xiaoyue said: Ge'er, why don't you do one thing for Queen Liu's son Sedum Tianqi and report back to Queen Liu.

Liu Qingge said: Xiao Ying'er has no mother-son relationship with him.

Lin Xiaoyue's hand: I'm afraid it may not be.

Lin Xiaoyue pointed to Sedum Qi, who was pacing outside Kunning Palace.

Liu Tingge said: If he has a mother-son relationship with Xiao Ying'er, his mother is seriously ill and should be served closely.

Lin Xiaoyue said: The relationship between mother and son comes from nature, the emperor's family is very complicated, and the feelings are also very complicated, so it is better to ask him directly.

Liu Qingge pouted and said: What if he lied to me.

Lin Xiaoyue said: Come less, people who have lived for hundreds of years have lived to be fine, and they will not be able to see if a person is lying.

Lin Xiaoyue took Liu Tingge to the outside of Kunning Palace, saw Sedum Qi, and Sedum Qiqi saw Liu Tingge and was busy greeting him.

Liu Qingge didn't like these false gifts, so he directly asked Sedum Tianqi what he thought of Queen Liu. Sedum Qi's eyes darkened and he sighed. He bowed to Liu and told his feelings and views.
