Li Zhang was about to leave, but he didn't expect to be called. When he turned around, he found that the person who called him was Prime Minister Lu Yijian, which made him stunned. Then he smiled politely and said, "I wonder why Lu Xiang called Xiaguanshu?"

I saw Lu Yijian saying goodbye to the people around him, and then he pulled Li Zhang to an uninhabited place and said, "Emperor Li, you were locked up in Zongzheng Temple before, and I have pleaded with the Queen Mother many times, but it's a pity that the Queen Mother's anger has not yet disappeared, and I am powerless!"

"Lu Xiang has to worry!" Li Zhang immediately smiled and said with a smile when he heard this, but he felt a little strange at this time, because he had been released. Why did Lu Yijian mention the original story again at this time? Could it be that he just wanted to accept his favor?

Regarding Li Zhang's gratitude, Lu Yijian immediately smiled again: "Duwei Li, don't be polite. Speaking of which, I reminded you not to be too impatient, but unfortunately I didn't expect you to be taken in."

When Li Zhang heard this, he smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "The incident happened suddenly, and I had no choice but to bite the bullet, but thank you Lu Qingchu for your reminder!"

Faced with Li Zhang's thanks again, Lu Yijian also smiled a little satisfied, then reached out and patted his shoulder and said, "Actually, although you have been under house arrest for a period of time this time, it may not be a bad thing. Moreover, in the six months since you went to Liao Kingdom, something actually happened in the court. You may not know it when you just came back."

"Oh? What's the matter?" Li Zhang finally cheered up when he heard this. He could feel that Lu Yijian's call was mainly related to what he was going to say. Otherwise, he would be a prime minister and would never call him to remember his previous kindness.

Sure enough, Lu Yijian turned his head and looked around again, then lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty Li, you don't know anything. Not long after you left the capital, the Empress Dowager suddenly fell ill. Although the news was blocked in the palace, it was impossible to hide it from anyone who was interested."

Li Zhang was also shocked when he heard this. He looked at Lu Yijian and then asked after a while: "How is the Queen Mother's health now? Have you recovered?"

When he heard that Li Zhang actually asked about Liu E's physical condition first, Lu Yijian was also stunned. Then he replied: "It should be fine now, but the Queen Mother's illness has a great impact. The court now looks calm, but it is actually surging. Li Duwei has just returned, so be careful in the future!"

Li Zhang was silent for a moment when he heard this, and then he bowed to Lu Yijian and said, "Thank you for reminding me again!"

"Haha~, actually, you don't have to thank me. I am just a kind person and don't want you young and promising people to suffer losses, so I can't help but remind you." Lu Yijian laughed again when he heard Li Zhang's words, and then he also said goodbye to Li Zhang, and then left in a short step.

Looking at Lu Yijian's back as he left, Li Zhang was silent for a long time, and finally sighed and left the imperial city. Liu E was no longer young. Although she was in power now, even Zhao Zhen dared not disobey her will, but in fact everyone was waiting for the day when Liu E fell, and when she fell, it was the day when everyone liquidated her.

The ministers in the court knew about Liu E's handling, and Liu E herself knew her situation, so she tried her best to promote her confidants and strengthen her power to increase her sense of security a little. However, now her illness has brought back her previous efforts to the original state, because this means that Liu E's body may no longer be able to hold on.

Of course, a disease may not mean that Liu E's body is really not good, but the key to this matter is not actually the real situation of Liu E's body, but the view of Liu E. She is not young anymore, and this disease has made many people think that Liu E's body cannot hold on, and this is enough. In other words, this is the momentum. Liu E was originally as powerful as the sky, but this disease was a turning point, which suddenly reversed Liu E's upward momentum.

Thinking of the above, Li Zhang's heart was also heavy. Although he had been under house arrest by Liu E for nearly a year before, the relationship between the two was no longer as harmonious as before, this does not mean that Li Zhang wanted to see Liu E unlucky. In fact, Li Zhang's feelings for Liu E are very complicated, and even Li Zhang himself could not explain this complex relationship.

When he returned home, it was already late, but Qingori was still waiting for him to have dinner. Li Yonghe, Lu Wu, Huozi and others who received the news also rushed back. Even Xiuxiu, who disappeared, had a sumptuous dinner. However, seeing the wild dog's oily mouth, she probably had to feed the wild dog first to have time to cook for her family. It seems that she is really a girl who is too old to stay.

After the dinner, Li Zhang helped Qingzhi back to rest. Qingzhi was heavy and had more sleep than usual. In addition, he was very tired today, so he fell asleep quickly. However, Li Zhang did not rest. Instead, he helped Qingzhi cover the quilt and then stepped to a small yard in the front yard. When he pushed open the door, he happened to see Lu Wu sitting in the yard to cool off.

"If I had known you were coming, please sit down!" Lu Wu pointed to the chair next to him with a palm fan in his hand. He was not young anymore. Now his hair and beard are mostly white. Although his body is quite strong, the skin on his arms has become a little loose, and there are a lot of wrinkles on his face. He is still full of energy when speaking, which is also the benefit of his years of martial arts practice.

Li Zhang didn't be polite to Lu Wu either. He sat next to Lu Wu, and then asked directly: "Today I heard Lu Xiang say that the Empress Dowager is sick. Is it serious?"

"Didn't you go to the palace to meet the queen mother today? Can't you still see it?" Lu Wu picked up the iced watermelon next to him and handed it to Li Zhang, then picked up half of the watermelon and started to chew it. It was June now, and it was the hottest time, even at night, it was still very hot.

"When I met the Queen Mother today, Lu Xiang and the others were there. The Queen Mother was behind the screen, and I couldn't see her either." Li Zhang explained.

Hearing Li Zhang's words, Lu Wu looked at Li Zhang and sighed, "No wonder you asked this. The Queen Mother was very sick before. The imperial doctor said that it was a disease caused by overwork. In addition, she was old and had a mountain of illness. The Queen Mother almost couldn't hold on. Fortunately, she finally survived and blocked the news, but I'm afraid she couldn't hide it from some people's eyes."

"What's going on now?" Li Zhang asked anxiously again when he heard this.

"It's much better now, but after this illness, the empress dowager has also grown a lot older and her whole body has been less energetic. You will know when you see her in the future." Lu Wu sighed again at this time. He was one of the few people who went to visit when Liu E was sick. Liu E even entrusted him with some things at that time, but Liu E didn't expect that she could survive.

Hearing this, Li Zhang also showed a silent expression. After a while, he said again: "The Empress Dowager's illness will definitely cause other thoughts, but the most important thing is Your Majesty's place. Have Your Majesty changed any abnormalities during this period?"

Li Zhang hasn't seen Zhao Zhen yet, so he naturally doesn't know what Zhao Zhen is doing. Unfortunately, time is too tight today. He has seen Liu E almost dark the day after tomorrow and has no time to see Zhao Zhen. Otherwise, he could ask about some situations directly from Zhao Zhen.

"I don't know much about your Majesty's situation. It's better if you go to the palace tomorrow to ask Your Majesty yourself. However, as far as I know, Your Majesty is very calm. Some people want to see Your Majesty, but they are rejected by Your Majesty. On the contrary, some ministers can't sit still." Lu Wu said again and introduced.

Li Zhang nodded when he heard this. Zhao Zhen's performance did not disappoint him. The more he was like this, the more he would be calmer, especially since he didn't need to do anything, just wait slowly. Anyway, he had been waiting for so many years, and it was not a year or two.
