Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 894 Empress Lu
In Shanglin Garden, several knights were galloping on horseback.

The steed took a step forward, constantly hitting the ground, shaking out the mud, and its long legs were like afterimages, shuttling between the trees.

The knight was dressed in military uniform, holding a strong bow, firmly attached to the horse's back, and drew the strong bow in his hand.

The leader is Liu Chang, and behind him are the doctor and many close attendants.

The doctor started from both sides, intercepting the prey for the emperor, lest the prey escape.

Lu Lu rode a steed, followed closely behind Liu Chang, stared at the prey in the distance, and shouted loudly: "Left!!"

The knights on the left screamed strangely, threatening the prey.

Liu Chang pulled up the strong bow in his hand and watched the frantically fleeing deer in the distance. At this moment, a smaller deer escaped from the herd and ran a few steps. It fell directly to the ground, and the herd of deer continued to flee. When the deer got up, it was surrounded by knights. The deer kept choosing directions to escape, but the knights around them were just threatening to make it unable to leave. The deer let out bursts of wailing, constantly changing directions, and completely lost its way of life.

Lu Lu smiled and said: "Today we finally have prey. I don't know why, today is very bad. I broke the axle when I went out, and there was a strong wind and heavy rain on the way. I have been in Shanglin Garden for a long time, but I can't touch it. What prey."

"Your Majesty can shoot it personally."

Liu Chang slowly raised the strong bow in his hand and pointed it at the deer in front of him.

The herd of deer in the distance stopped fleeing, some of them were looking towards this side, and some of them had already started grazing.

I saw a female deer, looking at this side uneasily, whining, as if it wanted to get closer, and was afraid of the knight, just like the fawn turning around inside, it was also circling uneasily.

Liu Chang pulled out the strong bow, and he pulled the strong bow to its maximum.

In the expectant eyes of the knights, Liu Chang slowly took down his strong bow.

"His Majesty?"

"I lost my father when I was young. My mother brought me up. I really can't bear to shoot it in front of my mother. Just let it go."

Lu Lu was a little dazed, but he still waved his hand, and the knights immediately stepped out of the way, and the fawn fled in panic. Under the watchful eyes of Liu Chang and others, the fawn returned to the female deer, kissing the female deer affectionately. The heads were pressed together, and the two deer rubbed their heads together, calling each other cheerfully, and quickly disappeared into the distance.

Liu Chang watched them leave, a smile slowly appeared on his face.

"Let's look for hares that endanger people's crops, or bears. Today's weather doesn't seem to be suitable for hunting."

Liu Chang said, looking up at the sky.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and it was obviously noon, but it looked extraordinarily gloomy. The wind kept blowing the woods, making bursts of noise.

Dou Guangguo said with a smile: "Your Majesty is indeed a benevolent king."

At this moment, the sound of horseshoes was heard in the distance, and many knights turned around to look, and saw a few knights galloping towards this place, and came in front of the emperor. Those people hurriedly reined in their horses, The leader almost fell to the ground, and after seeing the person clearly, the expressions of Liu Chang and others changed immediately. The person who came was Wang Chulong who was guarding Changle Palace.

Wang Chulong's face was pale, and he looked at Liu Chang nervously, "Your Majesty, the queen mother's situation has changed."

Liu Chang stared at him blankly, as if he didn't hear clearly.

Just at this moment, the white steed turned into lightning and flashed by. The knights watched the emperor gallop away, and hurriedly looked at Lu Lu. Lu Lu's face was also extremely ugly at this moment, "Chasing !!"

The knights hurriedly began to charge.

The white divine horse exploded at an unprecedented speed at this moment, leaving all the knights behind, and the speed became faster and faster. Lu Lu and others kept waving their whips, but they couldn't keep up.

The crowd rushed out of Shanglin Garden all the way, and then rushed towards Chang'an. Along the way, pedestrians backed down one after another, not daring to stop them at all, and just rushed all the way into the urban area.

Probably because of the weather, there were not many pedestrians passing by on the road. Even so, the galloping horse still frightened the people along the road to dodge in a hurry. From time to time, some vendors fell to the ground in a panic, and then got up and started If you want to curse, you will see a large group of knights following closely behind, so naturally you will not dare to curse.

When the steed rushed to the gate of the palace, the soldiers here seemed to have received the order, and hurriedly opened the gate of the palace, not daring to stop them, allowing the white horse to rush into the palace.

The steed rushed all the way to the Shrine of Shou, and as the horse was reined in urgently, the steed might have been exhausted, or it might have been under too much force, it let out a whine, and then fell down, while the person on the horse was thrown out, heavily Some of them hit the pillars on the stone steps, and the pillars were smashed to pieces.

"His Majesty!!!"

The soldiers' eyes were about to burst, and they all rushed towards this place, trying to help the emperor up.

Unexpectedly, the emperor got up very quickly, stood up in an instant, staggered a few times, then stabilized his body, and rushed into the palace at high speed. Everyone had never seen the emperor run so fast, he seemed to fly , rushed over the steps, because the speed was too fast, fell down again, but got up quickly, without giving the soldiers a chance to help.

"Grandma!!!!!!"

There was a roar in the hall of longevity.

The imperial physicians only felt that there was thunder in their ears. They turned around one after another, and saw the emperor crashing into the palace in a panic, and their eyes quickly locked on the empress dowager.

Liu Chang quickly rushed to Queen Lu's side.

The queen mother lay on the bed, her whole body shrunk into a ball, her eyes closed tightly, motionless.

Her hair was slightly disheveled, covering her forehead, her face was pale, and her brows were tightly wrinkled.

Liu Chang burst into tears at this moment.

He grabbed Grandma's hand, tears kept falling, "Grandma, what's wrong? Grandma? I'm here! Grandma, grandma, look at what's going on with my grandma?!"

The imperial physicians stood around with their heads down, looking at the almost collapsed emperor, the leading imperial physician plucked up his courage, and knelt down in front of Liu Chang.

His voice trembled.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager had some food in the morning and then took a nap. She didn't wake up for a long time. No one dared to wake up. When the maid came to tell us that the Empress Dowager could not wake up, it was already a bit late."

"The empress dowager's pulse condition is weak, almost. Your Majesty's condolences!!!"

The imperial physician knelt down to Liu Chang, but Liu Chang's eyes turned red immediately, he roared angrily and pushed the imperial physician away, the imperial physician almost flew out and turned several somersaults in succession.

"Nonsense!!! Nonsense!!!!"

Liu Chang roared, and he lowered his head again, looking at his mother who was lying on the bed.

The rest of the imperial physicians all knelt and sat around Liu Chang, and they all made kneeling gestures.

"Your Majesty. My condolences."

"The Empress Dowager is old, and I am happy to bury her."

Liu Chang only felt that everything was trembling violently. He firmly held on to his mother's hand, "Mother, please, don't leave me alone, mother, open your eyes and look at me."

"Mother. I know I was wrong. I will never make you angry again."

"Mom. I can't live without you."

"Mom, I beg you, I beg you, look at me, Mom, I beg you"

Liu Chang just muttered, tears kept falling, he lowered his head, put his face on the mother's face, and kept crying.

Tears and snot were mixed together, and Liu Chang began to cry again as he spoke.

Seeing this scene, the imperial physicians couldn't help crying. Lu Lu and others rushed in and quickly came to the Queen Mother's side. Looking at the motionless Queen Mother, Lu Lu sat paralyzed on the ground with his eyes wide open.

Dou Guangguo was about to step forward when suddenly he saw something and shouted: "It's moving!! It's moving!! It's moving!!!"

Everyone followed what he was pointing at, and saw the Queen Mother's fingers trembling slightly. Liu Chang noticed this scene, he jumped up suddenly, and dragged the imperial doctor over, "My mother is fine!! !! Cure me!!!"

The imperial doctor was also stunned at the moment, just now, he clearly watched the empress dowager's pulse disappear. So what's going on? ?

He felt the pulse again, only to find that the empress dowager's pulse reappeared, although it was still weak, it did not disappear like before.

The imperial physicians rushed over immediately, took out various needles, pressed and pricked.

Liu Chang stood not far away, wanting to approach, but dared not approach.

"Lu!! Guard the gate!! No one is allowed to come in!!!"

Lu Lu stood up abruptly, rushed out with the knights, and guarded outside the gate of the palace.

At this moment, people who received the news one after another were rushing here. The first ones to come were Cao Shu and others. They were crying and wanted to go in, but Lu Lu blocked the door.

"Your Majesty has an order!! No one is allowed to enter!!"

Cao Shu hurriedly said: "Let me go in and have a look, I'll watch Your Majesty so that His Majesty won't be afraid."

"No one is allowed in!!!!"

Lu Lu yelled loudly again.

Fan Qing's eyes were red from crying, and she wanted to force her way in, but Cao Shu held her tightly.

Immediately, Liu Le also came. She looked terrified and staggered towards her, but Lu Lu still blocked the door.

Then there are princes Liu An, Liu Zhang, and Liu Heng.

More and more people came, but none of them managed to get in. Even Empress Lu's sister, Lu Lu's aunt, were blocked by Lu Lu.

Everyone's faces were full of sadness, Liu An was sitting on the ground, crying with his head covered, Cao Shu kept comforting him.

In this way, I don't know how long it has passed.

The imperial physicians stood up again, and the leading imperial physician Ling wiped his sweat, "Your Majesty, the empress dowager's pulse has stabilized, but it is still weak. We have no other choice but to give the empress dowager food and drink on time."

"Auntie will be fine, you take turns to rest, and find a way to wake up Aunt for me."

"I'll stay here, even if Tai Yi wants to take my mother away, I will definitely split him in half."

Liu Chang slowly grasped the hilt of the sword, and the imperial physicians did not dare to say more.

When the imperial doctors walked out, the people outside the door hurriedly asked about the situation.

"The situation is still not good. The Queen Mother is too old. The medicine is poisonous. The Queen Mother can't handle the medicine that is too strong. Let's find a way now. Your Majesty is still inside, saying that he wants to guard the Queen Mother."

Cao Shu asked anxiously; "Then can I go in and accompany you?"

The imperial physician thought for a moment, then looked at Lu Lu.

Lu Lu held the sword and remained motionless.

People are helpless.

In the hall, Liu Chang knelt and sat beside Empress Lu, gently lifting the hair that blocked her forehead for her.

"Mother, don't be afraid. With me here, no one can take you away. Not even Father."

"I know, I wasn't born by you. But, you are my mother and will always be."

"I can not live without you."

Liu Chang wiped off the stains on his face with his sleeve, his voice was full of tears, he almost begged and said, "Mother, I beg you, don't leave me alone"

Empress Lu didn't wake up, she just lay there for two days. During this period, the imperial physicians took turns administering medicine, giving injections, and feeding, and the people outside the door also took turns. Liu Le fainted because of excessive grief, and was taken away for treatment.

Liu An did not leave, but stayed outside.

During this period, they went in several times in rotation to meet the Queen Mother alone.

Until the third day, Liu Chang was still kneeling and sitting in front of his mother. He didn't eat much, and he couldn't swallow the delicious meals on weekdays.

No one can persuade him.

Empress Lu slowly opened her eyes, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the ecstatic Liu Chang in front of her.

Liu Chang burst into tears because of his happiness. He cried out, "Come here!! Wake up!! Wake up!!!"

He held on to Empress Lu's hand tightly, unwilling to let go, and the imperial physicians came again.

Empress Lu ignored the imperial physicians around her, but looked at her son tenderly.

Liu Chang's face was full of indescribable grievances. He kept wiping away his tears, "Mother, you scared me to death."

Empress Lu shook her head weakly.

The imperial doctor looked serious, although the queen mother had opened her eyes, the imperial doctor was not too optimistic about her situation.

The Queen Mother's body has come to an end, and this cannot be changed by manpower.

Liu Chang personally fed Empress Lu water and porridge.

"Hey, look at why your sleeves are so messy?"

Empress Lu struggled to get up, but Liu Chang supported her, "Aunt, let's take care of your body before lying down."

Empress Lu didn't struggle anymore, she just looked at Liu Chang in front of her in a complicated way, "Chang"

"Mother, I'm here, you say."

"I'm afraid I'm going to die. I'm very tired."

Liu Chang shook his head, "I don't know, mother, don't say such things, mother. I know, you won't leave me alone."

"Long."

"Birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature. I pardon these imperial physicians for their innocence. You must not punish them for my sake."

"They can cure Grandma, I must reward them"

Empress Lu was very weak, she just said a word, then closed her eyes and rested again.

In the next few days, Liu Chang didn't go anywhere, and was always by Grandma's side, and those outsiders might have come in, but Liu Chang didn't remember, he just stared at Grandma, afraid that Grandma would Mother ignored herself again.

Empress Lu asked about the situation in various places, and Liu Chang answered seriously.

"Liu Ci has stabilized the situation in Xia Kingdom, and the same is true for Liu Qi in Xiting Kingdom. The problem of robbers in Funan Kingdom has been solved, and the fourth brother has attacked some rich and unkind merchants. This year is another bumper harvest. A large amount of food is coming, enough for the common people to eat.”

Empress Lu seemed to be getting tougher day by day, and her energy was much better, but the face of the imperial physician was getting uglier day by day, and they could often be seen scratching their heads and constantly flipping through various ancient books.

"Long. Over the years, you have managed the big man very well, better than I thought."

As Empress Lu said, a smile appeared on her face.

"Much better than your father."

"When your father handed me to me, you were only a little bit like this. I hated you so much, I wished you to die. But it's very strange. When someone hugs you, you cry. When I hug you, you stop crying"

"I wanted to raise you until you were three years old and give it to someone else, but you have been disobedient since you were a child. Even I can't control you. Can those people control you?"

"I watched you grow up day by day, my children are afraid of me, no one dares to get close to me, only you, different from them, you linger around me all day, watching you go I’m in a better mood now and then.”

"I've always felt that you were born by me, but your elder brother was adopted."

"I have suffered a lot in my life and suffered a lot. Fortunately, I still have you. If I didn't have you, I'm afraid I would have gone crazy long ago."

"Mother, you have something to eat first, we can talk about this later."

Empress Lu shook her head, "Master. I know you are smart and brave. I have always been proud of you. After I pass away, don't be sad. It's not because we won't see you anymore. I just went to teach your father a lesson. And brother, you have to cheer up, the big man still needs you, you must manage the big man well, arrange everything properly, and then go overseas, to achieve what you have always wanted to do, and let those barbarians Look, how brave my Lu Zhi's son is."

Liu Chang trembled all over.

"Long."

Empress Lu muttered another sentence, but there was no more to say.

The queen mother seemed to have a fever, and her body was getting hotter and hotter. The imperial doctors were in a hurry and had no countermeasures.

No matter how Liu Chang called or cried, Empress Lu could not open her eyes again. Gradually, the empress dowager's body calmed down, no longer trembling, no longer trembling.

Her lips trembled slightly, as if she was saying something.

Liu Chang leaned very close, and just now he heard clearly what Empress Lu said.

"Never."

And this sentence became the last words of the queen mother. Liu Chang didn't know why his mother said that, nor did he know the meaning of this sentence. He became ignorant of everything.

Because Grandma calmed down completely, lying on the bed, motionless, not even breathing.

Liu Chang only felt that his heart was pinched by something and torn to pieces. The great pain made him almost go crazy, his mind went blank, he couldn't feel anything, and his world seemed to die along with it.

"Grandma!!!!!!"

There was a heart-piercing roar in the hall of longevity.

Like a wounded beast.

When everyone rushed in, they saw Liu Chang hugging Empress Lu tightly, crying into tears, and Empress Lu was lying quietly in his son's arms.

Liu Chang raised his head, crying like a helpless child.

His world has since lost its light.
