A few days later, Liu Lu was sick and weak in bed. A violent cough made Liu Lu's lungs about to be coughed out.

Liu Lu stretched out her hand, picked up the cup at the head of the bed, and drank the water tremblingly.

How many days has she been in bed?

Liu Lu struggled out of bed groggily.

She staggered to the door, held the door frame with both hands, and said weakly, "I want to see the emperor." ”

The maid Huang at the door said: "Liu Meiren, you are suffering from a serious disease, and the emperor has ordered that you cannot go out of the door." ”

Liu Jing did not send Liu Lu out of the Fulin Palace, which was already extraordinarily gracious. The Jarme, infected with the plague, was sent out of the palace.

Liu Lu said: "I want to see the emperor, you go and tell him." ”

Her voice was hoarse, without the sweetness of her past, and her face was sickly, without its former brilliance.

The yellow maid hesitated and did not move.

Liu Jing's figure appeared, and there was no joy or anger on his face.

Liu Lu looked at Liu Jing and said, "Your Majesty, you promised me that you would let me leave the palace when you were ready." I'm going to leave now. ”

After speaking, Liu Lu couldn't help coughing violently.

Liu Jing, who was standing three feet away, said, "You go back to bed and lie down to rest." ”

Liu Lu said: "I don't want to die here, I want to leave." ”

Liu Jing said: "I'll talk about it when you're better." ”

Liu Lu said: "I don't want to be locked in the room, I'm so uncomfortable, please let me go." ”

Her tears slipped down uncontrollably, falling down in large chunks.

Liu Jing said to the maid Huang: "Send Liu Meiren back to the room to rest." ”

After speaking, Liu Jing turned around and walked away.

Huang's maid came up to help Liu Lu, Liu Lu grabbed the door frame and cried, "I want to go out." Don't touch me. ”

With a thud, Liu Lu's forehead hit the door frame.

"Ugh!"

Liu Lu sat down on the ground and reached out to cover her forehead.

Liu Jing turned around and glanced at the yellow maid with a terrifying look.

The maid Huang panicked: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. ”

The maid Huang hurriedly helped Liu Lu on the ground up.

Liu Lu avoided the yellow maid so as not to infect her.

Liu Jing said: "It can only be within five meters outside the gate of Fulin Palace. ”

The majestic voice fell, and Liu Jingtou left without looking back.

Liu Lu staggered from the back door of the dormitory to the outside.

She looked at the blue sky and white clouds in the middle of summer, and then looked at the solemn palace, green trees, and bright flowers and plants.

She must live!

She's going to get out of here alive!

More than half a month later, on June 20, 1787, Liu Jing met with a Taoist priest named Zhong Lang.

It is said that this Zhonglang Taoist priest is able to predict the prophet. Several ministers told Liu Jing about Zhong Lang's miracle or heard about it, so Liu Jing decided to summon Zhong Lang.

But Zhong Lang's whereabouts are mysterious and difficult to see. It has been a year since Liu Jing issued the edict, and Zhong Lang has not come to the palace to meet Liu Jing until now.

In the Chongde Palace, Liu Jing said to Zhong Lang: "I heard that you said ten years ago that there was a plague this year, and now you will talk about when it will end." ”

Zhong Lang looked forty or fifty years old, dissolute and chic, wearing a white short coat on the top and colorful pants on the bottom.

Zhong Lang replied: "Your Majesty, with your wisdom, this matter is already well known, and it will be almost the same in two or three months." ”

Zhong Lang's words are true. At present, the plague is gradually declining, and the hospital predicts that the epidemic should be over in more than two months.

Zhong Lang looked at Liu Jing with a smile in his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, you summoned me here, what do you want to ask?"

Liu Jing said: "I heard that your prophecy is very effective, you can tell us about the future fortune of our country." ”

Zhong Lang said inscrutablely: "Your Majesty, the fortune of a country has its own heavenly way, this is a heavenly opportunity, and it must not be disclosed, otherwise it will be against the will of heaven." I barely reveal some and can't say more. ”

Liu Jing said: "You speak." ”

Zhong Lang said: "Today's national situation, the emperor must know it in his heart, with all due respect, today's situation, strong outside and middle cadres, close to the end of the strong crossbow." ”

Liu Jing picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, his expression was not angry.

Zhong Lang continued: "This can be glimpsed from some appearances, such as the royal heirs. According to my observation, there is a strong yin in the palace now. Most of the people born are daughters, and it is difficult for a prince to be born. Even if a prince is born, he is either frail and sickly, dies young, or is not biological. ”

Liu Jing was shocked when he heard this, and he remained silent on the surface.

Liu Jing's eldest prince was frail and sickly; although the second prince was healthy, he was still young; and the third prince and the newborn fourth prince died early.

After being silent for a long time, Liu Jing said: "You tell me how to resolve it." ”

Zhong Lang said as if embarrassed: "It's not that there is no way to resolve it, it's just ......"

Liu Jing glanced at Zhong Lang majestically.

Zhong Lang said inscrutablely: "If the emperor can get the help of the woman in the destiny of heaven, he should be able to enhance the country's qi, and it is even possible to create a prosperous world." ”

Liu Jing listened and said, "How can a mere woman change the country's temperament?"

Zhong Lang said: "Since ancient times, there have been many women who have influenced and even changed the fate of the country, and these women are all daughters of destiny, and they have a special destiny qi on them. ”

Liu Jing was silent.

Zhong Lang said: "Hua Xu is a giant and a giant is born in Fuxi. The emperor can give birth to a wishful prince with her. ”

Liu Jing was silent for a while and asked, "Where is this woman?"

Zhong Lang said: "Your Majesty, the king of a country is the son of destiny, you can sense who the daughter of destiny is." After you meet, you will feel that she is different. This woman must be a kind and righteous person who has the world in mind. You'd better make her willing to live and die with you. ”

Liu Jing was silent again.

Zhong Lang said: "The future of heaven is not yet a peep. There are three things to keep in mind: children are not allowed to conceive and be born in the palace, this year is not good for them to conceive, and it is best for children to follow their mothers to travel around the world before they become adults to accumulate good karma and good fortune. ”

Liu Jing glanced at Zhong Lang majestically and said, "Do you dare to ask for ten years later?"

Zhong Lang said: "Ten years later, if what I say is not good, I will be at the disposal of the emperor." ”

Liu Jing came back from the Chongde Hall and saw Liu Lu pacing outside the Fulin Palace at a glance.

Liu Lu paced while counting in her heart boredly: "523,524,525,526......"

Because Liu Jing stipulated that he could not walk out of the house more than five meters away, Liu Lu could only walk back and forth along the outer wall of Fulin Palace.

Liu Jing walked up to Liu Lu and asked, "Are you feeling better?"

Liu Lu was a little flattered, since the last time, Liu Jing hadn't taken the initiative to talk to her for half a month.

Liu Lu didn't dare to take the initiative to talk to Liu Jing, worried that Liu Jing would come to the funeral or something.

Liu Lu said, "Well, I'm already fine. Your Majesty, I want to move back to the Beauty Palace, okay? I live here, not good. ”

The Beauty Palace, also known as the Hundred Flowers Palace, has twelve small buildings inside, which are isolated from the outside by a wall, and are specially used for lower-level concubines to live in a concentrated manner. Concubines and above, queens and empresses, on the other hand, lived in separate palaces. Liu Lu lives in the lotus curie of the Beauty Palace.

Liu Jingdao: "You haven't done it yet, I'll talk about it later." ”

"Oh. Liu Lu pouted to express her dissatisfaction, but did not dare to speak out against it.

Liu Jing said, "Let's go, go back to the house." ”

"Oh. Liu Lu followed Liu Jing into the house.
