Chapter Eighty-Three: The Empress Returns
Three days later
A carriage slowly drove to the foot of Bianliang City, and Liu Chan and all the officials in the north had been waiting for a long time. Liu Chan got up before dawn, wanting to see what kind of temperament and what he looked like as a queen.
The carriage stopped, and a woman stepped out of it.
Xing Bingyi lifted the curtain, and was suddenly squinted by the sunlight outside, and was even startled by the people outside the carriage.
From the moment she saw Liu Chan, Xing Bingyi's excitement turned into tears, she couldn't say a word, but she explained everything.
"Don't cry, Queen, I'll take you home."
Liu Chan gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Xing Bingyi's eyes and said very gently.
"Concubine Empress Xing Bingyi knocks to see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live."
"Hurry up, don't be polite, the queen is suffering."
Liu Chan helped up Xing Bingyi, who was kneeling, and his eyes were full of love and pity.
Han Shizhong is a smart man, and when he saw this, he quickly knelt down with everyone: "Welcome the queen back to China." ”
"Welcome the Empress home."
"General Han, get up, and all the soldiers should hurry up."
Han Shizhong became famous in his early years, and Xing Bingyi naturally knew him.
"Thank you, Queen."
Liu Chan took Xing Bingyi's hand, stepped into the carriage that had been prepared a long time ago, and then went straight into Bianliang City. As for Zong Xian, who came with him, he didn't pay attention to it at all.
"Ahem."
"What's wrong with the queen, I see why your face has become so pale?"
"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, the concubine is fine." Xing Bingyi shook his head, a smile on his face.
"With such a white face, you still say it's okay, and when you return to the palace later, you must let the imperial doctor take a good look at you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Liu Chan took Xing Bingyi's cold little hand, and a shadow appeared in his heart.
As soon as Liu Chan got out of the carriage, he hurriedly asked people to find the imperial doctor, and he accompanied Xing Bingyi to take a look around.
"Doctor, how is the queen's condition?"
"This, this..." The imperial doctor had already understood the queen's situation, but he didn't know what to say. Liu Chan's anger for the queen to attack the Jin State was not only well known to the Jin State, but also widely spread in the Song Dynasty.
"To tell you the truth, I want to know the truth." When Liu Chan saw the appearance of the imperial doctor, how could he not know what was going on.
"Back to Your Majesty, the queen is terminally ill and has no cure."
"What! You quack, you dare to curse the queen, I'm not afraid that I will kill you! ”
"Your Majesty forgives your sins, Your Majesty forgives your sins."
Fortunately, at this time, Xing Bingyi grabbed Liu Chan, who was about to be furious, and asked the imperial doctor to hurry down.
"It's okay, Queen, I will find you another imperial doctor, and I will definitely be able to cure you."
Xing Bingyi smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, don't bother, the sick concubine of the concubine knows, there is no need to find a doctor." ”
"But..."
"The concubine is already loved by God to be able to return to the country, how dare you beg for anything more, Your Majesty, don't trouble anymore, the concubine just wants to spend the rest of her days with Your Majesty."
"Well, I'll be with you no matter how long it takes."
"Your Majesty is still needed for major national affairs, how can it be delayed because of a concubine."
"It's okay, I've already taken care of everything, don't worry, it's okay."
Xing Bingyi glanced at Liu Chan meaningfully, his expression became even happier, and a hint of ruddy appeared in his pale face.
"Your Majesty, the concubine is hungry."
"Come, prepare the meal, and bring all the things I prepared for the queen before."
Xing Bingyi had been captured by the Jin State for almost twelve years, and Liu Chan was worried that the current Song Dynasty cuisine might not be to her taste. So, Liu Chan personally led the team to hunt all kinds of game, just hoping to have something that could make Xing Bingyi happy.
"Your Majesty doesn't have to be so troublesome."
"You're the Queen, as you should be. What's more, these are all made by me for you, so you can eat them with confidence. ”
"I haven't seen him for more than ten years, Your Majesty is still like this, and the concubines are already old."
"Not old, not old, I don't look old at all. The queen's appearance is the same as when I first saw you. ”
After a few moments, the table was already full of various dishes.
Xing Bingyi took one of the pastries and said, "Your Majesty loves sweets the most, and the concubine feeds you." ”
"Okay."
The pastry was carefully prepared by the Imperial Dining Room and tasted very good. Liu Chan also fed Xing Bingyi a piece, and Xing Bingyi also took a bite happily, but he looked a lot lonely.
"What's wrong with the queen, is it not to your liking, I will let someone change the table again."
"No, no, it's just that the concubine has never eaten such a delicious pastry, and for a while, she was a little excited."
"That's good, that's good."
After finishing the meal, Liu Chan helped Xing Bingyi to the bed to rest, and waited until she fell asleep before walking out of the room.
"Is the queen's body really hopeless?" Liu Chan brought the previous imperial doctor over again and asked cautiously.
"Back to Your Majesty, the queen's physical loss is too serious, and there is nothing the minister can do."
Liu Chan clenched his fists, not knowing what to say, and the atmosphere became a little silent.
Long
"How long will the queen live?"
"If you take care of it, you can get through this year."
The Taiyi didn't say the latter words, but Liu Chan already knew.
"Can you go back to Lin'an?"
"No, Bianliang is half a month's journey away from Lin'an, and the queen's body is already in a loss, so she can't bear the pain of the bumps along the way."
"Okay, I know, you can step down."
Liu Chan stood in place and thought for a moment, and he had a plan in his heart. turned around and wanted to see the queen again, but when he walked to the door, he found that Xing Bingyi had already sat up.
But for some reason, he left two lines of tears and lay back down.
This time, I really fell asleep.
Liu Chan hesitated for a moment, did not open the door and entered, but summoned Qin Hui to go to the Zichen Hall to discuss matters.
"What is the matter with Your Majesty summoning your ministers?"
"Now that Bianliang has been recovered by us, I plan to hold a great court meeting here, what does Prime Minister Qin think?"
Qin Hui thought for a moment and shook his head: "I'm afraid it's difficult, most of the ministers have already settled in Lin'an, and the center of gravity of our dynasty has also shifted south." Bianliang is now dilapidated and unfit for Kyoto. If His Majesty wants to make Bianliang as Kyoto again, I am afraid that it will take more than ten years of hard work. ”
"Well, I see. I don't intend to make Bianliang Kyoto, but I just want to hold a big court meeting here to pay homage to my ancestors and ancestors. ”
"But in this case, there should be no problem. If His Majesty is interested, the minister will arrange for someone to repair the palace and ancestral temple. ”
Liu Chan nodded, or Qin Hui used it the most comfortably, and he could express his meaning before he said it.
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you, don't let me down, everything has to be the best."
"Yes."
