Chapter 124: The Change of Xuanwu Gate (Central)

As soon as the sky was dawn, Cui Xiaofu hurried to Xifeng Palace, which was the bedroom of Concubine Tian Huifei. Concubine Tian Huifei was the daughter of Tian Chengsi, the former Weibo Jiedushi. Tian Chengsi was defeated by the Uighur cavalry in Hebei. He was killed in the chaos. After his death, his daughter Tian Xin was adopted in the palace. She was named Concubine Hui the year before yesterday. She was only twenty years old and was one of the most beloved concubines of the Li family.

"Empress, the emperor and Concubine Tian are still sleeping, please avoid it." A great eunuch blocked Cui Xiaofu's way. Although Cui Xiaofu was the lord of the harem, she has never interfered with the private life of the Li clan in the past ten years, nor has she ever gone to the residence of other concubines. Many things are like this. When everyone adapts to the habit, the habit will become the rule.

Cui Xiaofu looked at the eunuch and said coldly: "I am the lord of the harem. Can't I come here?"

"This..." The eunuch was panicked. He hurriedly took a step back and whispered: "The emperor didn't go to bed late last night. I'm afraid that it would shock the emperor's dragon body if he disturbed it too early."

"I'm going to bed very late?" Cui Xiaofu's heart was infuriated. What were they doing last night? The Emperor of Tang had to get up at the fifth update. Now it's dawn. Does he still look like an emperor?

"You go and call the emperor up and say that there is something big about Tai Chi Palace."

"What happened to Tai Chi Palace?" Li Shi, who had just put on his clothes, turned out from the inner room. There was no trace of blood on his face, and there was a little bruise in his eyes. It was obvious that he had become overly indulgent.

"The Empress Dowager met a ghost last night and was frightened. The Imperial Doctor said it was very serious and had sent people to notify him three times. Doesn't Your Majesty know?"

"I really don't know." Li Shi glanced at the eunuch, and saw his lips moving, lowering his head and not daring to say anything. He smiled and said, "Since the imperial physician is here, it may be useless if I go."

Cui Xiaofu shook her head, "The imperial physician said that the empress dowager is heart disease and not cured by medicine. Your Majesty should go and take a look!"

Li Shi looked at Cui Xiaofu in surprise. She and the Queen Mother never had a relationship, so why are they so concerned today? Cui Xiaofu seemed to know what he was thinking and smiled faintly: "If the Queen Mother goes from here, but His Majesty is not by her side, I am worried that someone will lose the talk."

Li Shi suddenly realized, and he smiled slightly and said, "The Queen is right. I should be by her at this time."

After saying that, he turned around and ordered, "I am going to Tai Chi Palace."

Cui Xiaofu watched Li Shi's dragon chariot gradually disappear, and deep pain suddenly burst out from her eyes, and tears slowly emerged in her eyes. This farewell will be their eternal farewell.

At this moment, a sarcastic laugh came from behind, "Why, the Empress is so old, are you still nostalgic for the Emperor?" Cui Xiaofu knew who it was without looking back. This was a vixen who never took herself seriously. Relying on the emperor's pampering, she kept trying to replace her. She snorted heavily and ignored her.

"Actually, it's pretty good to be older, at least you can be quieter at night."

One sentence aroused Cui Xiaofu's hatred for Li Shi, yes! Her husband hasn't touched her for almost two years, but she was fooled with these vixeners every night. The pain in her eyes immediately turned into hatred. She kept staring at the dragon celery and disappeared. Then she said coldly: "Since you like quietness, then I will fulfill you."

After saying that, she chuckled softly and left without looking back.

In Tai Chi Palace, the Li family came to the Queen Mother's bedroom surrounded by a large number of guards and palace servants. Although it was daytime, the bedroom was particularly bright, with nearly a hundred large lanterns hanging, illuminating every corner of the bedroom, and even some blind spots that had been dark for a hundred years were exposed to the bright lights.

When Li Shi walked to the palace, he felt that the palace was particularly hot and his breath was a little stuffy. This was nothing. What made him even more troubled was the flashing cold light, and the small bronze mirrors on both sides reflected a dazzling light.

"Your Majesty! The Empress Dowager may be in a bad situation." As soon as the Li Shi entered the inner palace, the chief imperial physician Feng Yuancai came up. His eyes were very anxious. "These days, the Empress Dowager's spirit has been very weak. She was violently stimulated last night. I'm afraid she will find it difficult for her to get through this level. I have done her best."

"I understand." Li Shi took two steps and turned around and said, "If it really doesn't work, I'll invite a few Taoist priests with high magic power."

At this moment, a palace maid with an extremely delicate face quickly came out of the inner palace. She first gave a bow to Li Shi, and then said to Feng Yuancai: "Doctor Feng, the Empress Dowager is awake."

Feng Yuancai slapped his forehead and said happily: "Your Majesty is so lucky, the Empress Dowager has actually woken up."

As soon as he turned around, he urgently ordered the palace maid and his medical officer to say, "Hurry up! Go and decoct the medicine and bring it."

Li Shi looked at the palace maid in surprise. There was such a beautiful palace maid in Tai Chi Palace. He kept watching her back disappear, and then he calmed down and followed Doctor Feng into the inner palace.

The decoction room was set up in a small room on the right side of the palace. A small red mud stove that the medical officer brought with him burned the charcoal. The medical officer who specialized in decoction carefully grasped the heat. Next to him, the palace maid was waiting patiently with two small cups. She was naturally Li Fanyun. Since she reached a tacit understanding with Zhang Huan, she has been silent and patiently waiting for the opportunity to arrive.

Just last night, hundreds of Longwu soldiers suddenly appeared around Zhang Liangdi's bedroom. Then the soldiers surrounded her and left. She realized that Zhang Liangdi was going to take action. Then Zhang Liangdi was frightened when she met a ghost. Before dawn, a eunuch quietly stuffed her a note. The note was beautiful and there was only one sentence, asking her to absolutely believe in the imperial physician Feng Yuancai.

The medicine jar was boiling, and the fragrance of medicine filled the entire room. The decoction doctor nervously grasped the heat, and more than a dozen guards stared at his every move.

"Okay!" The decoction medical officer shouted in a low voice, and he clamped the medicine jar with a pair of bent pliers in an extremely agile manner. Li Fanyun quickly stepped forward and handed the tray on it. Just when the medical officer was about to filter the medicine, the leader of the guard next to him shouted in a low voice: "Wait a minute!"

He winked, and the two guards stepped forward and carefully looked into the medicine jar with silver needles at the same time, carefully distinguished the change in the color of the silver needles, then nodded and signaled the medical officer to continue.

A thick black medicine juice flowed down from the filter and soon poured two full cups. At this time, the two guards stepped forward again and probed the medicine in the cup with silver needles. Everything was normal, and the test was over.

Li Fanyun quietly covered two medicine cups with the lid. Then, under the close surveillance of several guards, he brought the medicine into Zhang Liangdi's inner palace. The inner palace was very quiet. The guards and the palace people stood far away by the wall. Li Shi was sitting in front of the couch and was whispering to the empress dowager, "Please rest assured that my mother, I have ordered Duan Xiushi to select 5,000 elite troops from the Anbei Army to go south. They will exchange defenses with the Tianqi Camp. I decided to let him go to Luoyang to garrison, just these few days."

Zhang Liangdi sighed, she nodded slightly, expressing her gratitude to the emperor for his arrangement. At this time, Li Fengyun walked forward slowly with two medicine cups. The eunuch Luo Chengen on the side hurriedly stepped forward to take it. Li Fengyun bowed and was about to retreat. Li Shi looked at her again and asked the queen mother in a low voice, "When will this palace maid enter the palace?"

Zhang Liangdi knew what he meant, so she smiled and said, "Her name is Sun Qiniang, and she is the daughter of Sun Jian, the commander of Gaoling County. She is eighteen years old this year. She only entered the palace not long ago. She is very clever. If the emperor likes it, take her there!"

Li Shi was overjoyed, "My son thanked her mother."

Zhang Liangdi smiled and said to Li Fanyunling: "Go! Go pack up and prepare to go back to the palace with the emperor."

"Yes!" Li Fanyun gave a gift and turned around and left. At this time, Luo Chengen stirred a thin silver spoon in the medicine cup, knelt down and handed the medicine cup to Li Shi, "Please test the medicine with your majesty!"

According to the etiquette system, when parents are sick, the children who are waiting by the bed must drink a sip first before drinking the medicine. This is called a medicine test to show filial piety. Li Shixinde's beauty was in a good mood. He happily took the medicine cup. Just when he was about to drink it, the eunuch Chen Xianfu next to him suddenly said: "Your Majesty, this cup of medicine is a little cold, it is bad for your stomach, so it's better to drink another cup."

Chen Xianfu lived in the palace for a long time and saw too many conspiracies in the palace. Not to mention anything else, Doctor Feng just said that the empress dowager was critically ill, but now although the empress dowager looked a little ugly, her thinking was clear and she was in good spirits. She could still reward the palace maids to the emperor. She didn't look like she was dying, so he felt a little suspicious.

From Li Fanyun entering the room, Chen Xianfu kept staring at these two cups of medicine. Just as Luo Chengen was mixing medicine with silver spoon, he suddenly discovered that Luo Chengen had a very subtle movement. His elbow was slightly raised, blocking the movement on his hands. This was a very unreasonable action. He seemed to be afraid that others would see his hand adjusting medicine. Is there anything wrong with this medicine?

Li Shi was slightly stunned. He glanced at Chen Xianfu. Without waiting for Luo Chengen to take action, Chen Xianfu stepped forward and picked up another bowl of medicine, and handed it to Li Shi respectfully, "Your Majesty, please drink this cup."

Li Shi understood a little, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes, but then disappeared. He took the medicine and looked at Luo Chengen, smiled faintly and said, "Since there are two cups of medicine, I'll just drink this one. Please give the Queen Mother the one."

After saying that, he opened the lid and blew it, sucked it symbolically, and then put the medicine cup back to its original place. At this time, Zhang Liangdi and Luo Chengen's faces changed drastically. Zhang Liangdi fell down dejectedly, while Luo Chengen's whole body trembled, and the medicine in his hand was almost shaking out.

Li Shi laughed, "Since the empress dowager has recovered from illness, I will go back first. Thank you for your kindness." He stood up and bowed, turned around and left with a gloomy face. As soon as he walked to the door, Li Shi's face changed drastically. He suddenly jammed his neck with his hand, "Ho! Ho!" and fell down with a bang. His whole body twitched, gradually shrinking into a ball.

"His Majesty!"

"emperor!"
