Drinking is fun, but the consequences are later. For a person like Emperor Liu who has an average drinker, it is even more uncomfortable. When he returned to Chui Gong Hall, he was vomiting and vomiting, which shocked all the people in the palace. It even alarmed the imperial doctor, and Concubine Zhou Yifei also hurried over to wait on her. After struggling for a long time, Emperor Liu finally calmed down.
When Emperor Liu woke up, in addition to his still uncomfortable stomach, he felt endless fatigue and his head was dizzy. Scattered palace lanterns were still lit in the bedroom, the light was dim, and the surroundings were shrouded in hazy mist, which could be felt indoors. Obviously it was still early and the sky was not yet bright.
He raised his hand to rub his swollen and dizzy head. After calming down for a while, he noticed the figure next to the imperial couch. Concubine Zhou Yica was lying on the side of the couch, dressed in palace clothes. But he obviously slept very lightly. When he heard the noise, he woke up quickly. He noticed Emperor Liu with his eyes open and a happy look on his face. He hurriedly said: "Guan, when you wake up, how do you feel? Are you feeling better?"
"How can a hangover feel better?" Emperor Liu shook his head and said, "I'm thirsty, get me something to drink!"
"Yes!" Concubine Zhou Yifeng heard this and immediately ordered her servants to prepare.
Submitting her graceful figure, Zhou Yifei helped Emperor Liu up and sat down. Looking at the haggard Emperor Liu, she said with a choked voice, "Guan, you scared my concubine last night!"
"Huh?" Emperor Liu became a little more interested and asked with a smile, "Why, are you afraid that if I kick my legs, I will die?"
Concubine Zhou Yicheng was shocked when she heard this. Her beautiful face was full of fear, and she said in horror: "Please don't say such unlucky words! You must take care of yourself!"
Emperor Liu looked relaxed and said softly: "Don't worry! Even if I try hard, I won't be able to do it for much longer. However, it is really not advisable to drink too much of this wine. This time, I will control it in the future. I am not a person." A good drinker..."
"That's good! That's good!" Zhou Yifei said. At this time, she didn't dare to say any more. Although she was favored, she was still a little cautious when serving the old emperor. You know, after the death of Empress Fu, her chances of accompanying the king have become smaller. It can be seen that the shelf life of Emperor Liu's favor is limited after all.
The warm soup to relieve hangover had been prepared in the palace for a long time. Emperor Liu drank a few sips and then he felt better and his energy recovered. Only then did he look at Concubine Zhou Yicai. Xiao Zhou, who was thirty-five years old, was already the youngest concubine in Emperor Liu's harem. Time had not faded her color, but had made her more charming. Her red eyes were a bit endearing.
Looking at her haggard face, Emperor Liu said: "I still have some impressions from last night. I must have tortured you quite a lot!"
"The most important thing is that the official family is safe and sound!" Zhou Yifei said.
Hearing this, Emperor Liu lifted off the quilt, patted the bed, and said softly: "It's still early, come up and go with me again, and you should also take a rest!"
"yes!"
Concubine Yi gently took off her clothes and got on the bed as if in her arms. The fragrance lingered in Emperor Liu's nose, hugging her soft and plump figure. Emperor Liu was so moved that he reached out and pinched Xiao Zhou's face and said: "Mother Zhou Half old, the charm is still there..."
Emperor Liu's tone and expression were secretly not serious. Feeling the old man's frivolity, a blush gradually appeared on little Zhou Yurong. She wanted to persuade Emperor Liu to take care of his health, and she would be lucky again another time, but in the end she was a little embarrassed to say it.
However, Emperor Liu's next words made her sober up a lot: "It's a pity that I am becoming more and more powerless..."
"The official family is fierce and strong, and the body is strong..." Some words of tiger and wolf blurted out from Xiao Zhou's red lips.
Emperor Liu smiled, but did not answer. He knew his physical condition very well. The body was overtaxed in the early years, coupled with the fact that there was not much restraint in sexual intercourse. The older I got, the more powerless I felt and it was difficult to do anything. However, in this regard, Emperor Liu was quite open-minded. He had already enjoyed what he should enjoy, and even though he felt calm, he was not ashamed of it.
The two hugged each other and talked privately for a while. Emperor Liu suddenly noticed the figure wandering outside the curtain and immediately said: "Who is outside, Yan Tuo?"
"Back to the official's house, it's the young one!" Yantuo's careful voice came, and through the curtain, his humble and humble movements could be vaguely seen.
"What's the matter?"
"Officials, Duke Lu's Mansion has come to report that Duke Zhao Kuangzan of Lu passed away this morning!" Yan Tuo reported.
"Oh? Zhao Kuangyin is dead?" Emperor Liu said unexpectedly, perhaps because he didn't hear clearly.
Yan Tuo obviously paused, and then repeated: "Back to the official house, it's Zhao Kuangzan, Duke of Lu!"
Only then did Emperor Liu realize that he had made a mistake, but he didn't have any embarrassment. After a moment of silence, he showed a hint of sadness and said, "I just went! I remember drinking from his golden cup with him last night!"
"I went to visit the ministers of the Yizhu Kingdom again, the twenty-four ministers of Qianyou, and there are still a few fruits left!" Emperor Liu said with emotion.
In fact, with the departure of Zhao Kuangzan, only the Duke of Shou, Li Shaoyou, Duke of Rong, Zhao Kuangyin and Duke of Wen, Xiang Xun, remained among the twenty-four famous ministers of Qianyou.
What Emperor Liu didn't know yet was that Zhao Kuangzan collapsed after returning home from his birthday party last night and remained there until his death. However, he had already made arrangements for his funeral, but he still refused to die. It wasn't until he learned from his family that his child's time had passed that he passed away. What was in his heart was that he didn't dare to die on Emperor Liu's birthday...
"Officials, please show your condolences!" Seeing Emperor Liu's expression of sadness, Concubine Zhou Yifei comforted him softly.
"Old friends continue to die, why are you not sad?" Emperor Liu sighed with emotion as he held Xiao Zhou's hand slightly, and then ordered: "Everything about Lu Guogong's funeral should be done according to the etiquette. Let the prince and King Zhao represent the court. , let’s express our condolences!”
"Yes!" Yantuo responded, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I learned that His Majesty has woken up. The Crown Prince and the ministers are waiting outside the palace, hoping to meet the Holy Spirit to say hello."
"Huh?" Emperor Liu made a suspicious sound and said, "Why, they are so energetic that they don't even need to rest and sleep, and they are always waiting outside?"
Yantuo was silent for a moment, then said: "Yes!"
"Haha!" Emperor Liu sneered twice: "Do these people hope that I will wake up, or do they hope that I will not wake up?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Yifei in her arms shrank her head subconsciously, and Yan Tuo's fear could also be felt through a curtain.
Emperor Liu pondered for a while, and then said: "Tell them that everything is fine with me and don't need to worry about me. Let them go back to their respective homes and enjoy their rest!"
"yes!"
"Also, call me Zhang Dejun!" Emperor Liu's tone was cold enough.
"Yes!" Yantuo didn't dare to neglect and hurriedly went to deliver the message. He also realized that there might be another disturbance. Otherwise, why would the Imperial City Division be dispatched again?
Not long after, Wang Jien, the envoy of the Imperial City, hurriedly came to see him. However, at the first moment, he was still concerned about Emperor Liu's health. His concern and moving appearance were somewhat touching.
Emperor Liu leaned on the imperial couch and said directly in front of Concubine Zhou Yicai: "You have to do two things. First, send someone to Huashan to find Taoist Chen Tuan. Tell him that I miss him again and invite him to come." Luo, give me another sermon. Secondly, go check out the reactions of the ministers after the birthday banquet last night, what they said and what they did, everything is down to the smallest detail, I want to know!"
"Yes!" Wang Jien also accepted the order without any hesitation.
