Funing Hall

Doctor Bai is getting old, and now he is no longer on duty in the palace, but His Majesty is not in good health, so he still comes to visit most of the time.When Qian Yuemo arrived, Doctor Bai had rushed to the palace and was carefully feeling His Majesty's pulse.

Seeing her coming in, Rantao rushed to meet her, "Miss, you are here."

"What's the matter, it's all right."

"Lady, let's go see Your Majesty first."

Qian Yuemo nodded, walked to the side of the bed, and asked Doctor Bai a few words.Doctor Bai's temperament became more and more calm, without any panic, Ning He said: "My lady, don't worry, Your Majesty is in a hurry. It just so happened that he didn't rest well last night, and he will wake up later."

"If it's like back then, what should His Majesty do if he doesn't want to wake up?" How could Qian Yuemo not be worried.

"The reason for the coma this time is different, my lady, don't worry." Doctor Bai was also impatient in the past, but now he is good at persuading people.

Qian Yue silently watched him feel his pulse, check His Majesty's body, went to the side to write the prescription, and then personally took someone to the Imperial Pharmacy to get the medicine and boil it.Qian Yuemo sat beside the bed for a while, then sat down on the couch, and sighed: "Well, why?"

Rantao took a look at Fulu: "The servant girl has not had time to know."

Fu Lu knelt on the ground, considered for a while, and said, "Today, Emperor Liao came to see His Majesty."

"Emperor Liao?" Qian Yuemo asked in surprise. Rantao hadn't thought of that either. Qian Yuemo said again, "It's the first time since the founding of the country. But before I came, why didn't I hear the news? But he was disrespectful to His Majesty? This Liao The country is true!" Although Qian Yuemo had heard what Piaoshu had said, she couldn't connect this person with Zhao Shiqi back then.

Fu Lu muttered, looked up, Qian Yue sat silently, frowning at him.Rantao stood beside her, also frowning at him.

He let out a long sigh: "Emperor Yelu Yanli of the Liao Kingdom is the eleventh prince."

"..."

Qian Yuemo knew why His Majesty vomited blood and fell into a coma. She was so shocked by the news that she couldn't breathe for a long time, let alone His Majesty saw him face to face.

"Lady!" Seeing that her face was pale and she was about to turn over, Fu Lu hurriedly called her.

Rantao also came back to his senses, and immediately went to caress Qian Yuemo's heart, and anxiously asked Fulu: "Speak more carefully!"

"Your Majesty was meeting Yeluqin, the envoy of the Liao Kingdom, and he just walked in. He said that the head was in the front hall, and the lady knew that the people in the front hall were all new and low-ranking Beijing officials. He had never seen ten officials before. Ichiro-kun's. What's more, he has changed now—”

"How has it changed?" Ran Tao hurriedly asked.

"I don't know what to say about the small one. He is taller than before. At first glance, he can see the appearance of the past, but upon closer inspection, it is completely different. He is wearing the regular uniform of the Liao Emperor, with two followers behind him. How familiar is he with the palace? Little Guess that when he entered the palace, he was among the queues of the Liao Kingdom, and no one could tell. Who would have thought that the emperor of the Liao Kingdom would appear in our palace wearing ordinary clothes? In the palace, he should have avoided the crowded palace and came to the Chongzheng Hall. The young one was terrified at the time, so he passed the small one and entered. When the young one recovered, he--"

"You!" Rantao wanted to pinch his ears, but sighed again, if she was afraid she would not be able to recover.

Qian Yuemo also turned half of her body cold, it seems that what Piao Shu said was right.

"What did he say to His Majesty?"

"When the little one went in, His Majesty was very polite to him and even smiled. The little one was also happy, when our Majesty didn't care much, how could we—"

The three people present were all insiders, and Qian Yuemo and Ran Tao were both women with delicate thoughts. When they heard this, they all thought sadly, how could someone who loves so much not care?

"It's just, why did he become the emperor of the Liao Kingdom again!" Qian Yuemo couldn't help lowering the couch lightly.

Fu Lu drooped his head: "I don't know the little one, even Your Majesty, he is called Yelu Yanli now." After finishing speaking, he said again, "My lady, the Liao Kingdom and our Great Song Dynasty have always been at odds, will there be war in the future? "

Qian Yuemo frowned, since Zhao Shiqi did this, he still dared to come, obviously he was not afraid.

"I really don't know what he's thinking!" Fu Lu gritted his teeth when he thought of him.

Qian Yuemo sighed, and asked again: "What did you say to him later?"

"No, after His Majesty left, he picked up the broken jade that His Majesty dropped on the ground. The younger one wanted to get it back, but he refused to give it—by the way, His Majesty said that he would hold a banquet in the palace tomorrow, and asked the younger one to go The Duting Station invited him over."

"Your Majesty is like this, how can you hold a banquet?"

"What kind of banquet is there?" A domineering voice came from outside.

The three of them were startled and turned their heads one after another. Zhao Zongning walked in dressed in red.She went riding a horse today, and she was dressed in Erlang's clothes again, and the jewel buttons on her neckline were shining brightly.

She walked in with a frown, and said as she walked, "I heard that my brother vomited blood and fell into a coma. What's the reason? Who made him unhappy?"

"..." The three of them were silent together.

Zhao Zongning twisted the rein in his hand, glanced at them lightly, and went to look at Zhao Cong.

Zhao Cong was in a coma, and she couldn't see any flowers, so she asked the maid a few words, and learned that Doctor Bai said there was nothing serious, so she came out again.Sitting next to Qian Yuemo, he picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. After putting it down, he said in a deep voice, "Come on, what's going on."

The three looked at each other, but none of them dared to speak.

Zhao Zongning called his name: "Fulu, you follow your brother all day long, just tell me."

"Yes, this is—"

"Say it!"

Fulu hurriedly told the matter.

Zhao Zongning was stunned for a moment, then sneered: "I knew he was not dead, I said earlier that he was a poisonous snake. I still thought he was Li Liangcheng, especially when Xixia made trouble with the real and fake third prince, it turned out to be collusion! Admire! Haha!"

She laughed so that the three of them were cold.

"Still have the face to come back? Still have the guts to send myself to my brother? Yes, if my brother doesn't kill him, I'll kill him!"

"..."

"How will my brother prepare the banquet tomorrow? I'll do it! Fulu will go and order the dining room to prepare the banquet!"

Fu Lu was also angry with Zhao Shiqi. Seeing the princess like this, he suddenly felt certain, and immediately went out to make arrangements.

Zhao Zongning and Qian Yuemo were together in Chongzheng Hall that night, they were talking with Rantao, waiting for His Majesty to wake up.Zhao Zongning has become more calm and self-controlled in recent years, Qian Yuemo and Rantao are still in a panic, but she is comforting others.

The inner room was fairly peaceful, only their soft voices remained, and suddenly there was the sound of running outside, and the voice of the palace maid anxiously calling "Princess".

Zhao Zongning got up and walked out, Zhao Zhongqi ran fast, seeing her immediately asked: "Why don't mother and uncle take Rong Rong home." Her "home" refers to Funing Hall.

Zhao Zongning said patiently: "Mother and uncle have something to do today, didn't I already tell you, you should sleep in Xueliu Pavilion obediently."

"Hmph! Lie to me!"

"How come."

Zhao Zhongqi raised his head and looked at her, then suddenly walked past her and ran to the inner room.

"Princess..." the maid cried out bitterly.

"You guys just stand outside." Zhao Zongning was still calm, anyway, his daughter is a bold one, so it's okay to know.

Seeing her favorite uncle lying on the bed without speaking or moving, Zhao Zhongqi immediately turned pale with fright.She climbed onto the bed, hugged Zhao Cong's shoulder and cried.

Zhao Zongning said helplessly: "You cry in your arms and wet uncle's clothes, making uncle feel even more uncomfortable."

Sobbing, she let go of her hand, nodded and said, "Rong Rong accompany uncle."

"Good boy." Zhao Zongning patted her head, and then saw the tourmaline beads around her neck.Zhao Zhongqi thought it was beautiful, but kept forgetting to pick it off.Zhao Zongning thought about the same as Qian Yuemo, thinking that her brother gave it to her, so he didn't ask any more questions.

In the middle of the night, the villain couldn't hold on anymore and fell asleep beside Zhao Cong.

Doctor Bai came in to look at it again, and then fed medicine to His Majesty. Zhao Zongning relaxed a little, and went to another room to rest for a while.

Tomorrow, there are still battles to be fought.

Yelu Yanli stayed up all night.

There are many trees in the courtyard of Dutingyi, he found a banyan tree and jumped on it, lying on his back on the trunk, staring at the full moon in a daze.Under the tree, accompanied by his entourage.Neither Mu Fu nor Jixiang followed. Firstly, because of the unrest in the Liao Kingdom, the Khitan people had a weak sense of clan, and the new emperor had almost no traditional inheritance when he ascended the throne, and most of them relied on rebellion.It is not easy for him to succeed to the throne by the name of the third prince. He has been on the throne for five years.

For Song people, killing brothers seems to be condemned by God, but in Liao Kingdom, this is a matter of course.

He can kill his own brother, and others can kill him.Mu Fu and Ji Xiang stayed in Shangjing to calm down the crowd on his behalf.The Yelu family will never lack people who are ready to move.Although he has killed a lot in the past few years, he can't stop others from going forward.

Secondly, Zhao Cong hates them.

He was already disgusting to Zhao Cong, how could he bring those two people along.

He was dull and silent, although he was usually like this, but today the attendants saw how he loved the little princess in the palace, and saw how much he said, and laughed several times.

He lay down like this for several hours.

The entourage couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty likes girls? Even the younger ones think that today's Princess Jiarong is very likable."

Another person echoed: "Exactly, our concubine in the palace will definitely give birth to a princess who is more beautiful than the princess."

He didn't make a sound, and after lying down for a while, he got up, turned over and jumped off the tree, walked into the house, and said: "Tomorrow, I will check the congratulatory gift for Emperor Song."

"Yes." The two of them looked at each other in blank dismay, which must have been taken too seriously.Just as Song people looked down on Liao people, Liao people have always looked down on Song people.

Originally, these should be brought into the palace by Yeluqin today.Originally, their Majesty did not intend to enter the palace today, but was planning to enter the palace tomorrow to meet Emperor Song.

Unexpectedly, not long after Yeluqin left, he suddenly went out, and even more suddenly went to meet the emperor.At the gate of the palace were all the carriages of envoys from various countries. They handed over the posts. There were too many people at the time, and the costumes of foreign nationalities were dazzling.The eunuch didn't think he was the emperor, so he let them in.His Majesty seemed to be very familiar with the Northern Song Dynasty Palace, he led them around, no one saw them, and finally arrived at the Chongzheng Palace.

The two of them followed, and their Majesty was kneeling on the ground with one knee looking at the contents of the box.

When they came back to Kaifeng, they brought a big gift, dozens of boxes alone, all made of golden nanmu.The people of Liao didn't care about these things like the people of Song Dynasty. How could there be so many empty wooden boxes?

Yelu Yanli took a look at a three-color plate carved with mandarin ducks and lotus patterns, and they also glanced at it. It was drawn by their majesty himself and asked to be fired.On the green background, the mandarin ducks on the top are so vivid that they seem to be able to swim out immediately under the light. This is a complete set, including cups and bowls and chopsticks.

Not only these, but also many objects were painted by their Majesty himself.

They are personal servants, and they really don't know why they want to please Emperor Song so much.

But if you want to please, His Majesty was not affected at all when they discussed how to attack the Song Kingdom with the Xixia envoys.They really don't understand His Majesty's mind.

After Yelu Yanli rummaged through those few boxes, he went to look at the other boxes. There were a few boxes that contained various kinds of jade and precious stones.As soon as the box was opened, the room was filled with light.

It's not that they haven't seen good things, they just don't understand why their majesty can look at them for hours.

After looking at the jade, I went to look at a few boxes of calligraphy and paintings.

Yelu Yanli turned around and said to them when he saw the eastern sky turned white: "Tell them to be careful about Gu Ci, especially beware of a man named Xie Wenrui. Anyone who comes to Dutingyi, no matter how he is dressed, is not allowed to come out." If Xie Wenrui really wants to see you, let him come to see me first."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After staying up all night, Yelu Yanli was in very good spirits.He who never pays much attention to appearance, even said specifically: "Ask someone to comb my hair."

Although he is already Yelu Yanli, the emperor of Liao Kingdom, he still wears his hair in a bun like the people of Song Dynasty.

Zhao Cong once told him in private that Liao people had weird hairstyles.He is obviously from the Liao Dynasty, but he has lived in the Song Dynasty for two lifetimes. Even though he has lived in Shangjing for six years, many of his living habits still cannot be changed.He had never shaved his head, but because he, the emperor, wore a bun, many officials and civilians followed suit and learned to grow their hair.

At this moment, after washing and grooming, I put on the same ordinary clothes as yesterday, and put on the machete.Fulu then also arrived at Duting Posthouse and invited him to the palace.Fu Lu has also cultivated more experienced in recent years, and it seems that he doesn't know him at this time.When he came to him, Fu Lu was still smiling: "Your Majesty Chenji."

Yeluyan ideally saw something on his face, but couldn't see anything, so he said "Chenji" and got into the carriage.

As soon as he got into the carriage, Fu Lu's face darkened, and he said loudly: "Get on the road!"

The carriage was swaying, Yelu Yanli actually felt a little unspeakably uneasy.

He reached into his arms and took out a letter.

It was obviously a letter from many years ago, and it was obviously seen often. The paper was very old.

He opened the letter carefully, and there were only five words on it: I will wait for your return.

He still received the letter that Zhao Cong wrote to him back then.After they left the palace, they first went back to Hangzhou for a rest. It took more than a month to arrange everything before he took people to the capital.It was on the way that he received this belated letter.

He looked at those five words for a long time, and it took him a long time to show a smile.

There is bitterness in the smile, and it is more tenacious.

He received the letter in his arms again, and looked forward firmly.
