On the fourteenth day of the lunar month, Lu Desheng still entered the palace to accompany him.

Before leaving the palace, Lu Desheng tucked the dragon quilt for Emperor Kang Cheng, and said embarrassedly, "Your Majesty, tomorrow Weichen will marry a daughter, and he will not enter the palace." The day after tomorrow, Weichen will enter the palace early in the morning to accompany him. ”

Tomorrow is the fifteenth day of the lunar month, yes, the marriage date of Lu Desheng's second daughter Lu Songli and the young son of the Qin family is indeed set for tomorrow.

Looking at Lu Desheng's happy appearance, thinking of the Qin family's next heavy blow, as well as his second daughter who might be involved, Emperor Kang Cheng sighed, it is already unfilial piety to let the Queen Mother's white-haired person send a black-haired person, and Lu Songli and Qin Sheng are married by the Queen Mother's decree, and it is impossible for him to disobey the Queen Mother.

That's it, so be it. He will take action to protect the Qin family, Lu Songli will suffer a little in the first few years at most, and when the new emperor reactivates the Qin family, she will be able to live a good life again. It's okay to start with bitter and then sweet.

Emperor Kang Cheng thought that the Qin family was still very useful in fighting wars, and as long as Song Mo was not stupid, he would promote the Qin family and let the Qin family be used by their Song family again.

The Qin family has always been very docile, and Emperor Kang Cheng always felt that thunder, rain and dew were all Jun's grace, and he never thought that the Qin family would rebel.

As soon as Lu Desheng got out of the way, the light recovered, and Emperor Kang Cheng subconsciously turned his head inward.

Seeing this, Lu Desheng was stunned for a moment, it is said that people are about to die, they are particularly afraid of light, and they are lazy......

"Master Lu, we'll send you."

Lu Desheng's heart was heavy, the emperor's spirit was getting worse and worse, and he only had about three hours when he was awake every day.

After coming out, Wei Zili handed him the brocade box in his hand, "Lord Lu, you will marry your daughter tomorrow, this is a congratulatory gift from the emperor, there are many people here, don't look at it first." ”

Lu Desheng took it and nodded, "Don't worry." "It doesn't feel like it's heavy, what could it be?

Soon after Lu Desheng left the palace, the queen mother's phoenix drove back to the palace.

"Emperor, why is your dragon body so decaying?" When the queen mother who went out of the palace to worship the Buddha returned to the palace, she was startled when she saw the skinny emperor who had taken off his face.

She was angry with the Lu family a while ago, and the palace people persuaded her to go out to worship the Buddha and relax, so she went. This time, she went for more than a month and nearly two months, but the emperor was fine when she left. As soon as she received the news from the palace that the emperor's dragon body was not very good, she rushed back, but she didn't expect it to come to such a point.

"The queen mother—ahem—"

The Queen Mother hurriedly patted him on the back.

"Emperor, how did you make yourself like this?" It's his own flesh and blood, and the Queen Mother is also uncomfortable when she sees him looking like he's approaching the limit.

"Also, you're like this, why didn't you send a letter to the mourning family earlier?" If she had known that the emperor was not good, she would have returned to the palace earlier.

"Ahem, Queen Mother, I didn't expect it-" Yes, Emperor Kang Cheng himself didn't expect that his dragon body would decay so quickly.

"Emperor, you are like this, shouldn't the prince be summoned?"

"Queen Mother, the crown prince has already died." Emperor Kang Cheng thought of the bad news he received two days ago, even though after two days, his mood had calmed down a bit, but when he thought about it, he still felt very heartbroken.

When the Queen Mother heard this, she was shocked, "What's the matter?" Didn't the prince go north to work in the army? Then he was furious, "What did Qin Yue do to eat, and let the prince die in the north?" Is he trying to rebel?! ”

Emperor Kang Cheng had to explain that the crown prince died at the hands of the Qianghu people who entered the country, and the role of the four princes in it, out of general considerations, he did not say.

"Emperor, since the crown prince has passed away, although we are extremely sad, at this juncture, you still need to determine the next heir to the throne as soon as possible." The Queen Mother didn't want the Dali Dynasty and the heir was unknown and fell into turmoil, "Do you have a favorite candidate?" It's just that the qualifications of the three princes who have grown up are mediocre—"

Emperor Kang Cheng interrupted her, "Queen Mother, I have decided to appoint the fourth prince Song Mo as the next emperor!" "The imperial examination is right, you must not establish a young master! Fortunately, for the sake of insurance, he prepared three secret decrees at the same time to protect the legitimacy of the throne.

The Queen Mother was a little surprised, "Okay, you just decide." When her son's words fell, her just floating thoughts also dissipated.

"Queen Mother, you have just returned to the palace, and go back to Changle Palace to rest. I'm tired too. ”

On the fifteenth day of the lunar month, the two mansions of Qin and Lu are full of joy.

The Qin family's personal welcome team is ready, everything is ready, only the groom is missing.

"Ah Sheng, can he come back?" Mrs. Qin asked Qin Heng very seriously.

Something happened, something must have happened. Mrs. Qin only felt her heart pounding. The youngest son is not the kind of person who does not succeed, and it is impossible for him not to be cautious about such a big thing as getting married. And he promised his eldest brother that if he wanted to rush back, he would definitely rush back, unless there was some compelling reason.

Nie Yunniang held her towering belly, and at this time she also realized that something was wrong.

Qin Saburo patted the back of her hand soothingly.

Then he and Qin Heng glanced at each other, and the two of them had calculated that with Ah Sheng's footsteps, they should be able to rush back to Chang'an City today.

"Mother, don't worry, he will definitely be able to rush back."

"You said you could rush back, but what about the others?"

"Probably still on the way? I have sent people to the gates to guard them, and as soon as they appear, they will bring them back. ”

"This-madam, prince, isn't it time for our welcoming team to leave? If you don't set off again, you will miss the auspicious time. The steward stepped forward to ask for instructions.

"Wait!"

On the Lu family's side, Lu Songli put on a wedding dress and waited for the groom to come to greet her.

Only Lu Songli and her father and mother knew that Qin Sheng had gone to Beijing and had not returned. Lu Zhiyuan and Lu Mingzhi only knew that Qin Sheng had gone out recently.

Jiang: "Qin Sheng hasn't arrived home yet?" This will be less than half an hour away from the auspicious time, will you be able to come back in time? "There are three auspicious times for marriage today, and the one they chose is already the latest of the day, and it is not a good time to go any further.

Lu Songli was very calm, "Daddy, don't worry, Qin Sheng will definitely be able to come back." This is not her confidence, but she believes in the judgment of Qin Heng and the other Qin family, since they have no news to call for the wedding to be stopped, it is business as usual.

Anyuan Gate

The city guard who opened the door for them watched Qin Sheng return with a corpse, and only felt that his scalp was numb. Something happened, something must have happened!

As soon as Qin Sheng entered the city, as soon as he appeared, a small steward of the Qin family rushed out, "Sixth son, you are finally back!" Quick, go back, the team is ready, it's time for you! ”

The little guy behind him chased after him with a horse.

Li Wei in the back hurriedly stepped forward, "Sixth son, you go back first, and the fourth son will be escorted back to the Qin family by me and later." ”

Qin Sheng shook his head, handed over his horse and fourth brother to Li Wei, took the horse prepared for him by the housekeeper, placed his fourth brother behind the horse, then turned over on the horse and hurried home.

And his original handsome horse, with his two front legs directly on his knees, neighed and panted, obviously tired.

"So, what's that?" The little steward who passed the message asked in a trembling voice, he was so excited to see the sixth prince just now that he didn't notice the situation behind his horse.

Li Wei replied in a low voice, "That's Qin Ming, the fourth son of the Qin family." ”

Boom - the little steward directly had weak legs and couldn't stand steadily.

Something's wrong, there's something big!

When Qin Sheng returned to Qin's house with Qin Shilang on his back, Qin Heng appeared for the first time, followed by Qin Sanlang.

Qin Heng endured the heartache, took Qin Ming with his own hands, and then asked the chief retinue to take Qin Sheng down to pick up the meter.

Qin Sheng's face was blank, and he let others do it.

Qin Sanlang stepped forward, took Qin Ming, and together with Qin Heng, placed him in the coffin they had prepared.

After Qin Sanlang put him in, he carefully groomed him, and watched him lie peacefully in the coffin, tears couldn't help but flow down after all.

"Fourth, get up! Didn't you say that you want to play against Little Six? You get up, I'll join forces with you to compete with him! ”

In less than a quarter of an hour, Qin Sheng immediately had the appearance of a groom's official, his appearance was neat, his hair was tied up and shrunk again, the young man's face was more angular, and the whole person looked very energetic, but the dredging under his eyes betrayed him.

After Qin Sheng put on the wedding dress, Qin Heng patted him on the shoulder, "Cheer up and go to greet him." ”

The Lu family also received the news that Qin Sheng had returned to Chang'an City, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
