Beijing.
The Queen Mother fell ill and couldn't afford to be sick. The doctors in the palace were helpless.
Li Yuanxian visited the Queen Mother and sighed deeply. No one can escape death, so what if he is in the imperial family?
Although he had saved his life, he couldn't even stand up now. Who knew how long he could hold on.
"Your Majesty, do you want to send someone to inform the fifth prince?" Wang Chun couldn't help but ask.
"Lao Wu has just arrived in Xianzhou. If he is called back urgently at this time, his hard work will be in vain." Li Yuanxian shook his head.
"But the Queen Mother is now, I'm afraid..." Wang Chun did not dare to say the next words.
"I believe the Queen Mother will not blame Lao Wu. The most important thing is to inherit the country!" Li Yuanxian said.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is seriously ill now and the fifth prince is not in the capital. Will anything happen in the capital?" Wang Chun asked worriedly.
"If we talk about changes, they have happened a long time ago." Li Yuanxian sighed, "Since the Dou Huaishan Rebellion, how has the capital ever been peaceful?"
Cining Palace.
Empress Dowager Dou dreamed of the late emperor, who was waving to her. However, she felt ashamed of the late emperor and refused to go to him.
Then she woke up.
"How long have the Aijia been asleep?" she asked the maid before the bed collapsed.
"Queen Mother, you have been sleeping for three days." The palace maid said carefully.
"Three days?" Empress Dowager Dou struggled to get up, "Help the Aijia to get up. The Aijia have not completed the late emperor's will, so they cannot just sleep like this."
Some palace maids and eunuchs also quickly greeted Queen Mother Dou to get up.
Queen Mother Dou was dressed neatly.
"The Ai family wants to see Li Qi'an and spread the message of the Ai family's wishes, so that Li Qi'an can enter the palace quickly."
"Queen Mother, Li... Mr. Li's house has been burned down, and Mr. Li has been buried in the flames." The maids and eunuchs said cautiously.
Could it be that the Queen Mother was really ill and confused? The Queen Mother had asked them to do this.
"Is the Marquis Mansion gone?" Queen Mother Dou's expression froze, "Has Li Qian left the capital? The Ai family is really confused and can't even remember this."
"Queen Mother, Your Majesty has come here and said that the Queen Mother is awake, so I will report to Your Majesty immediately." said the old eunuch beside the Queen Mother.
"Can the fifth prince be in the palace?" Queen Mother Dou asked.
"The fifth prince went to Xianzhou to resolve the chaos in Xianzhou," the old eunuch said.
"Did King Xian still rebel?" Empress Dowager Dou sighed, "Back then, his talent was indeed better than Yuan Xian's, but the throne has always been passed down to elders rather than younger ones, and he was unwilling to accept it!"
The old eunuch bowed and said, "But His Majesty broke this rule, so King Xian is even more unwilling."
"So what if he is not willing to give in? Even if he is allowed to fight for the throne, what can he do?" Empress Dowager Dou said, and then sighed, "Dacheng has been tortured enough by this royal family dispute. Fighting back and forth, forever. Nor can we fulfill the late emperor’s legacy and establish a prosperous legacy.”
"Your Majesty, maybe the fifth prince is really different." The old eunuch couldn't help but say.
"He is different, but he is also far from the Ai family's ideal." Empress Dowager Dou shook her head, "It's a pity that Li Qi'an didn't listen to the Ai family. If he really became emperor, he would be the ideal figure of the Ai family. "..
"Queen Mother, after all, Li Qi'an is not a member of the royal family, and his reputation is not justified." The old eunuch said.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go for a walk with the Ai family. Maybe the Ai family will see this palace for the last time." Empress Dowager Dou stood up.
The old eunuch also quickly supported Empress Dowager Dou.
"A person's ability is too great, which is both a good thing and a bad thing. It's a pity that the Ai family wanted to see Li Qian for the last time, but they couldn't!" Empress Dowager Dou said.
