Chapter 62 Touching the Dog
The three men put on the beggar's clothes that Li Cheng had prepared for them, and followed the crowds wherever they went, crying and shouting, asking the Queen to take care of their bodies. I don't know how many soft-hearted women cried.
Li Qi remembered what his brother said: if someone steals a chicken, someone will touch a dog.
I had to walk step by step and watch the flow of people passing by, fearing that I might miss something and cause my grandmother to suffer an accident.
After passing through the long streets and alleys, and more and more people joined in, Li Qi changed from pretending to crying to really crying.
When the soles of his feet and knees were gradually smeared with blood, and blood bloomed on his forehead, he began to feel sorry for his grandmother and cursed his brother for his bad idea, how could he let his grandmother suffer like this.
His distressed cries were so powerful that he forced the two boys who followed him to cry heartbrokenly.
This also called more people to cry loudly to the altar.
When the solar eclipse really came as Li Cheng said, Li Qi cried in the crowd again:
"God can't bear to see the mother of the country, Su Zhen, with her hair disheveled, kowtow and pray for rain!"
This howl attracted more people who followed the cry. Under the guidance of the crowd atmosphere, people who were originally afraid of the solar eclipse were no longer afraid and continued to follow the team.
In front of the altar, Li Ying held Li Qi's hand to comfort her, and wiped away his tears with a warm smile. Only then did she ease her feelings of reluctance.
Watching my grandmother kowtow and ascend to the altar, the eroded sunlight gradually reveals its original appearance, and when the sunlight blooms on my grandmother.
Li Qi's tears fell even harder, and her grandmother seemed to be ascending like an immortal, her whole body shining with light.
This made him burst into tears again, so he had to avoid the eyes and ears of the courtiers, retreated into the crowd, and continued shouting:
"The holy virtue of the mother of the country has moved the world, and the queen is a thousand years old!"
Several times later, the people bathed in the sun also shouted in unison until the queen stepped onto the altar.
Only halfway through the process of praying for rain, the sky turned cloudy, and Li prayed for tears again, especially when the rain gradually increased from light to heavy.
The dust that had not rained for a long time was filled with water vapor, and the smell of soil was everywhere.
He no longer needed to drive the noise among the people. The officials who originally wanted to pass through Jinwu Guard to drive away the people also stopped making noise after the rain.
Today’s God-creation is complete!
Li Qizai cried so hard that he complained in his heart that Yan Jue had given him this embarrassing task.
But seeing his grandmother being loved and cared for by the people, he burst into tears of joy!
Suddenly, an arrow from the crowd flashed coldly and silently towards the altar.
Although Li Ying didn't know how to escape, she still knelt down in confusion as she looked at the incoming arrows.
Bah!
The sound of a sharp arrow sinking into the flesh and blood of the shoulder was clearly and horrifyingly transmitted into the body. The bare flesh of the shoulder rendered the bloody and magnificent dahlia.
As the pain slowly spread, Li Ying, who was still conscious, heard Li Qi cry in panic under the altar: "My milk! Save my milk!"
Even in the face of threats, this naughty kid is still making people laugh!
Although the Jinwu guards around him suppressed the archer with lightning speed.
As soon as the incident happened, these three naughty kids asked one of the Li family's secret guards to send them away from the scene as quickly as possible.
Li Ying could see clearly from the high platform that the sacrificial mission had been completed. Seeing that Li Qi and the others had evacuated safely, she put down her obstacles and slowly fell down.
Yan Sheng jumped over and hugged her, shouting in horror: "Don't faint!"
Li Ying replied angrily: "It hurts so much! You'd better faint!"
"Why didn't you vomit blood? Extra points?" Yan Sheng realized that he was fat even if he wasn't dizzy.
Li Ying was protected in her arms and cuddled up to her with peace of mind. She said helplessly: "I want to vomit too. I'm at a disadvantage for not bringing a blood pack!"
The two sisters looked at each other and smiled.
"It feels so good to have someone to rely on! My old man died so quickly." Li Ying said with emotion.
"Are you sure my old man is better?" Yan Sheng flew away with an unchanged expression while talking to Li Ying to prevent her from losing consciousness.
Following Yan Juan's instructions, he carried the seriously injured queen after successfully praying for rain, and walked quickly through the city gate under the guard of the guards, so that everyone who participated in praying for rain could see the blood-stained queen.
"Yan Sheng also has someone, and she takes her home to love her every night!" Li Ying did not forget that if she didn't see Yan Sheng in front of the key of Pei Xun's palace, he would be waiting on the top of her palace.
"You're still seriously injured and you still make fun of me! Look at all the people crying for you!" As soon as these words came out, there was a gasp from all around, and all the sounds suddenly disappeared.
Yan Sheng stopped and shouted to the shocked people: "Your Majesty is just injured, please say something auspicious and don't cry in mourning!"
"Happiness reaches the sky?"
This is the porter holding the pole trying to come up with the words he can.
"Okay!" Yan Sheng pointed to the next old man holding candied haws skewers and said, "Say one too."
The old man's mouth twitched and he responded hurriedly: "Good luck?"
"Okay! Just stop crying! Your Majesty will be fine!" Yan Sheng glanced at Li Ying, who was still breathing, to the concerned people.
Li Ying's complexion was pale and weak, and her blood was as pale as a begonia sleeping in spring.
"Pray for the queen!"
After Yan Sheng nodded to the people, he continued to rush towards the palace gate not far away.
Congratulations came one after another from behind Yan Sheng, scattering like golden hairpins that were blown away.
She smiled with satisfaction and brought the people's health blessings for Li Ying from afar into the palace.
As soon as he arrived in front of the palace gate, Emperor Yongde was waiting there.
Looking at his mother in Yan Sheng's arms, Emperor Yongde, even a mature man, couldn't help but burst into tears.
His powerlessness made his mother, who was old and weak, have to dress up and enter the palace to relieve him of his difficulties.
His incompetence prevented his mother from enjoying the joy of making love to her grandchildren. Instead, she had to kowtow from the palace gate to the altar in the suburbs to pray for rain for the people under his rule.
His weakness allowed his mother to take an arrow from an arrow and make him blood-stained.
Emperor Yongde approached with difficulty. Seeing that there was still a short arrow on his shoulder, he could no longer see the plain blood-red clothes. He anxiously took his mother back from Yan Sheng's hand.
"mother......"
Li Ying stretched out her hand to cover up the title of Emperor Yongde, and said helplessly: "I'm fine, my concubine."
Emperor Yongde understood, and with red eyes, he quickly rushed to Chengfeng Hall, shouting at the top of his lungs: "Imperial Physician!"
After Yan Sheng handed her over, her relaxed body became limp. Pei Xun, who had been standing by her side, immediately reached out to catch her and brought her into the palace.
Pei Xun's eyes were also red. As he walked, he murmured distressedly within the hearing range of the two of them: "Where did your picked-up granddaughter come from? How dare you even design a plan? Look how tired you are!"
Yan Sheng couldn't help but laugh after hearing this. He put his hands around Pei Xun's shoulders and whispered in his ear: "She is the sister I can't find!"
Yan Sheng's silvery laughter and Pei Xun's stiff back formed a sharp contrast.
How could Pei Xun not know? Just hearing it from his wife again, he was still shocked...
...
After a while of busy work in Chengfeng Hall.
Yan Juan lost her hand one morning.
Li Ying injured her shoulder at noon.
Yan Sheng's legs were paralyzed one afternoon.
Three crying children.
After taking care of her injuries, Li Ying sat up and looked back at Emperor Yongde, who was still waiting with red eyes, and said: "You have your battlefield, you shouldn't linger here."
"But..." Emperor Yongde's words were muffled by his mother again.
"Today is your only chance. If you miss it, have you ever thought about getting another chance to take back your military power?"
Emperor Yongde's expression became solemn. A series of strategies like today would indeed never have another chance.
Are you gambling with your mother's body again?
There must be and will never be a third time when Southern Chu intervenes in the Beiyong royal family!
"It's only after today's experience that Qi'er will grow up." Li Ying said earnestly, looking back at Li Qi whose eyes were swollen as big as walnuts, and couldn't help but smile happily.
How can a child who has never experienced hardship grow up? Only by experiencing it can growth belong to him.
Today’s kowtow is definitely worth it!
Li Ying knew that her son understood, she smiled happily, patted his back and asked him to leave.
After Emperor Yongde left, Li Qi dared to get close to Li Ying, and his hoarse voice from crying was particularly painful.
"Oh my god! You scared me to death!"
"Why did you bring them both in?" Li Ying looked at the two young men eating pastries.
"That's a good brother who has done everything possible! He's been crying and shouting with me today!" Li Qiweineng nestled on Li Ying's feet as before, hiding around for fear of hitting his grandmother's wound.
After Bo Xiao finished eating the ice cream cake in his hand, he quickly got off his chair and went to Li Ying's side to bow respectfully. "Happy to you, your Majesty! The eldest brother said that the third brother knew that he was wrong and asked me to stay by my side."
Li Ying's majestic eyes swept over the young man in front of her and asked calmly: "My child, do you know the meaning of these words?"
This child has really become a traitor, and he can be regarded as the first person in the Northern Yong Dynasty.
"Bo Xiao understands." After today's trip to worship the heaven, Bo Xiao's mind was baptized by enlightenment, and he could understand why his eldest brother wanted to hide in Beiyong in the first place, and he was even more fortunate that he could come with his eldest brother under his belt.
After calming down, Bo Xiao knelt in front of Li Ying and slowly stated: "Bo Xiao has clearly seen what duty and ability are. It is better to be able to be a hostage in Beiyong than to have the eldest brother and third brother to be punished."
"Your eldest brother and third brother will be fine!" Li Ying gently stroked Bo Xiao's hair.
"Bo Xiao kowtows to thank the empress for her grace." Bo Xiao bowed deeply and bowed.
At this moment, Li Xing came over to Li Ying and bowed to say hello. "Happy Madam, my foreign minister has learned a lot today!"
"That's interesting! Do you want to expose it?" Li Ying looked at the planning in Li Xing's eyes, always feeling that he was Li Cheng in Li Qi's coat.
"No, no, no! Now that the situation has been established, it is not possible for Foreign Minister to reverse the situation with just two or three sentences." Li Xing knelt down between the two of them and said leisurely, "Foreign Minister just wants to follow the two brothers and study hard in the library.
, this great cause of seizing the direct descendants cannot be interfered with by foreign ministers, who still want to save their lives and drink a few more bottles of Yuli drunk."
Li Ying looked at the two children who knew their fate, and was glad that Sun Er had two close friends with the same nature. She waved her sleeves and said, "Okay! There is nothing going on in the palace. You three should hurry back to the mountain.
"
"Thank you! Thank you for my milk!" Li Qi excitedly held Bo Xiao's head and kowtowed.
