In the fifteenth year of Tianjing, the Northern Tang Kingdom had completed the great cause of unifying the world.

On the morning of the fourth day of the sixth month, in the Hall of Light, Empress Dowager Tang and the enthusiastic ministers were discussing affairs such as the government affairs of the throne and powerful areas.

Suddenly, the female official Murong Ji came quietly from behind the palace and approached the dragon throne. She followed the empress dowager's words... In an instant, Empress Dowager Tang was pale, threw down the memorial in her hand, and hurriedly left the palace.

"Empress Dowager, what's wrong with her?"

"What happened in the harem...?"

The courtiers were full of suspicion and asked each other.

Seeing this, Shangguan Zheng, who was wearing a red official robe in the middle of the hall, looked slightly calmer. He walked up to the steps of the hall and said, "Prince Liu, Lord Saint, are you going together?"

Liu Tingxi's sword eyebrows were filled with clouds, and his beautiful thin lips were slightly opened, completely calm.

Immediately, light and shadow flashed under the palace steps, and three important officials were no longer seen.

At the ear door of the back hall, the one who came to report was Yanran, the aunt in charge of Zizhuyuan. She pounced on her, and Yanran knelt down and cried, "The Queen Mother, it's not good, grandmother... she vomited blood and fainted... The Imperial Doctor was helpless!"

Queen Mother Tang almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, a female official Murong Ji hurriedly supported her and comforted her softly: "Empress, hold on, the old lady... is still waiting for you to rescue her!"

"Come on your shoulders and serve!"

"Empress, yesterday afternoon, April and Qiuxin went out with their grandmother. Xiao Dongzi said that grandmother seemed to have gone to Jinyu Pavilion."

"Jinyu Pavilion? What did she do there?" Empress Dowager Tang's heart was shocked and she couldn't help but urge the attendant: "Hurry, hurry up!"

"Grandma has never been out for so long, and... I have not seen April come back. Qiuxin said that grandma asked April to buy sour plum tea drinks... However, they waited for a long time, but they did not see April come back. After returning home, grandma asked Qiuxin and Dongbao to look for April..."

"What's the result?" Empress Dowager Tang urged.

"I haven't returned, Xiao Dongzi and Qiuxin are also missing... Woo woo"

"Why didn't you come to report yesterday! You deserve this, how can I believe you!" Empress Dowager Tang's beautiful eyes widened, angry and anxious.

"Empress, I am careless, I deserve to die! Woo... I deserve to die!"

Queen Mother Tang glanced at her and said sternly: "Bold, you dare to hide it from me. If my mother had a good fortune, you... wouldn't have to live anymore!"

"Yes, I should die. I will calm down my anger. My grandmother will definitely be able to escape danger! I hope I will take care of my phoenix body. I will not be cherished if I die!"

Yanran knelt on the bluestone slab and kowtowed, crying and saying in dismay.

Looking at Empress Dowager Tang who was leaving, Murong Ji sighed, "Sister, you get up first... In this palace, Hong Xing and you have always been doing a safe job. What's wrong with me this time?"

To be honest, in this harem, Empress Dowager Tang trusts the most and relies on Yanran and Hongxing the most. For more than ten years, Yanran has been taking care of everything in Zizhuyuan and working diligently. In particular, she takes care of the old lady meticulously, and is like the mother and daughter.

"Woo... Lord Murong, I really didn't expect that the old lady... would walk out of the Imperial Garden. Besides, why is Kyoto so uneasy? I... what should I do? Lord Murong."

Yanran lay on the ground and kowtowed desperately. Seeing that her forehead was bruised and bloody, Murong Ji said helplessly and distressed: "Hurry up quickly, we can't get up. In my opinion, there must be something strange about this!"

"I... have caused trouble! Lord Murong, I have caused trouble, help me!"

Yanran staggered...chasing Queen Mother Tang's sedan chair, shouting: "Empress, Lord Murong is right. There must be something strange about this. Look for April and Jinyu Pavilion... and never... let that hateful thief succeed!"

Wow, two red figures came like the wind, Murong Ji bowed and said, "I have seen two princes..."

Liu Tingxi glanced at Empress Dowager Tang on the sedan chair, closed the folding fan in his hand, and jumped into the air. The wind blew up and the clothes were raised, and the two of them were floating in the air like great gods.

...

Back at Zizhuyuan, Yanran knelt on the old lady's bed and cried, "Qi Gong, Prince... Last night, I was going to report it to you personally, and Doctor Tian came to ask for Ping'an's pulse. He said that my grandmother had just got a little bit of heat and could be fine if she took a dose of Ningshen Decoction. So... I didn't bother you!"

"Then, what's wrong with the old lady after taking Ningshen Decoction?" Liu Tingxi opened his thin lips lightly, but his eyes became more majestic.

"After returning to the prince, I served the medicine, the old lady slept peacefully. I stayed until the second day of the day, but I didn't see any abnormality. Later, I lay on the edge of the bed and slept lightly. It was about the fifth day of the day, and the old lady suddenly turned over and rose up... With a sound of wow, the dark red sprayed on the mattress... Look, it's such a thick blood stain."

Staring at the bedding covered in blood stains, Empress Dowager Tang felt dizzy and fell softly.

Liu Tingxi's beautiful eyes were cold, staring at Yanran and said coldly: "Aunt Yan, what's the purpose of not reporting after losing April? In addition, Qiu Xin and Dong Bao are really looking for April? And Physician Tian, ​​where are others?"

Yanran was at a loss and shook her head repeatedly, saying, "I really don't know, I don't know! Empress Dowager, you must believe me!"

Liu Tingxi asked several questions in a row, causing Empress Dowager Tang to stand up. She turned around slowly, her eyes getting colder and colder:

"You, it's better to explain it to me clearly, otherwise... someone will come!"

Yanran said sadly: "I... I really don't know why Doctor Tian also disappeared... Empress, please give me the death penalty!"

"People come and dig up Kyoto and you will find these people."

"Yes, I have to see people in my life, die, and see corpses! I don't believe it. There are such arrogant thieves in this bright world, search!" The chief minister also said sternly.

Several guards rushed out of Zizhu Garden like lightning. In the hall, Empress Dowager Tang was crying: "Mother, mother..."

She didn't dare to think too much about her mother's age. If it's no, no, no, no! Her legs were trembling, and Liu Tingxi hurriedly helped her move to the recliner.

"Don't worry, I'm there, you must take care of yourself!"

"Yeah, thank you." Empress Dowager Tang hugged her knees weakly and curled up in the chair nest.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Over the years, Mrs. Tang has been her daughter's residence harbor, relying on each other and safely supporting the backbone of Queen Mother Tang. For many long nights and many chaotic days, her thin mother has always been silently caring for her and her two children.

The miserable years, especially the days after Fei Yunxiao died, without the care of her mother, Empress Dowager Tang really didn’t know whether she could survive until today?…

On the Furong Garden Trail, Mrs. Hongxing and her maid Qingxing walked quickly. Seeing their anxious appearance, they should have rushed to Zizhuyuan.

"Have you met Mrs. Jincheng"

"Hongxing has met Lord Murong!"

After saying hello, Hongxing cried and said, "Why is the old lady sick?"

Murong Ji looked at them and said anxiously: "You... have heard of it, and I don't know much."

The maid Qing Xingfu said, "Sir, I brought Zaogao to visit me in front of me, and my grandmother praised me for being skillful. Oh... but just one day later, my grandmother actually got a serious illness."

"Yes, it's really worrying! You guys go in." After Murong Ji finished speaking, she retreated silently to the side.

...

"The old lady has always been compassionate and will definitely be safe! I heard that Chen Hetai, the head of the Imperial Hospital, has good medical skills." Liu Tingxi comforted.

Queen Mother Tang nodded and saw Hongxing and her group coming in.

"Ah, come here."

Empress Dowager Tang waved to the maid Qingxing, and Hongxing cried when she saw this, "Take care, can the old lady improve? What did the imperial doctor say?"

"Strange disease... has not been confirmed yet!" Empress Dowager Tang said worriedly.

When Hongxing heard this, she burst into tears and staggered towards the bed, pulling Mrs. Tang's sleeves and sobbing.

"Qingxing, go to Shangyang Palace and invite the prince and the second prince to come over."

"Yes, I will take the order."

The maid Qingxing looked at the people in the hall and left quietly.

"Aunt Xing, oh, no, I should call you Mrs. Jincheng. Don't cry, don't let the Empress Dowager's heart be messed up!" Prince Shen whispered.

"Prince, do you know what's going on?" Hongxing wiped her tears and asked again.

Shangguan Zheng pointed to Qing Xing's back and asked, "I seem to be there... I have seen this girl."

Hongxing rubbed her temples and said lightly: "Do you don't remember her? Qingxing, the distant cousin of Princess Honghu. It turned out that the Empress Dowager, who was serving her in your house, saw that she was quick and clever, called her to serve the Second Prince."

"Oh... I wish to do this."

Shangguan was retracting his gaze, but the dark snowy land in winter appeared in his mind, a person who was dying and trapped in the deep snow pit.

...

"Grandma, wake up, grandson is here, grandson is here! Look at us!"

The Shangguan Yuan brothers grabbed grandmother's hands and cried.

"Doctor Chen, have you ever diagnosed the old lady?"

Empress Dowager Tang stood on the edge of the bed and touched her mother's forehead. She was panicked and tears fell...

"Doctor Chen, the old lady's forehead is so hot? Look at the crimson, you can imagine the degree of high fever in her body? Quickly, let's take a closer look!"

"Girl Yan, bring the ice parcel quickly and give the old lady a cold compress. It's important to cool down..."

While Liu Tingxi ordered, he had already helped the old lady sit on the bed and leaned against her arms.

"Mother, wake up, wake up quickly! Your grandson is here to see you!" Empress Dowager Tang choked.

At this time, the old lady's mouth raised slightly, and there seemed to be a slight smile on her cheeks. No, it was a strange smile.

"How could this be...this?"

Empress Dowager Tang was extremely suspicious, her heart was like a knife. She threw herself into the bed and touched her mother's wrist. This touch really made her back cold, and her mother's pulse was beating like a spring.

When Liu Tingxi saw her face, he hurriedly held her little hand and said in a deep voice: "Doctor Chen, have you ever carefully diagnosed the old lady?"

Doctor Chen and others hurriedly knelt down: "Report to the Empress Dowager, Prince Liu, Weichen and others have limited medical skills, cough cough, and... have not been confirmed. However... Weichen gave the old lady a dose of anti-toxic and heart-warming decoction."

"Oh? Detoxification and Huxin Decoction, do you think the old lady is poisoned?" Liu Tingxi asked intently.

He let go of Queen Mother Tang, rolled up his sleeves, and pressed his clear joint fingers steadily on the old lady's wrist veins.

Tat… Tat…After a moment, Liu Tingxi opened his eyes and said with a serious expression: "This wrist vein... is indeed leaping strangely. It should be because of the vicious attack on the heart vein and center, causing the old lady to fall into a coma."
