Chapter 1037

"Haha!"

Listening to Liu Xie's milky voice, Liu Hong laughed heartily: "Good son, reward, reward!"

Seeing Liu Hong's appearance, He Lingsi, who was sitting not far away, frowned.

And Liu Hong, who was sitting on the side, had already turned his head and kept his gaze on He Lingsi.

"Empress, is this how you usually teach Bian'er?"

"Being so timid when speaking at home, how can he be capable of big things?"

Liu Hong's reprimand made He Lingsi's anxiety even worse, so she explained:

"Your Majesty, Bian'er has been raised outside the palace since he was a child, and he has a lot of awe for Your Majesty and the affairs in the palace, but I think he will adapt after returning to the palace for a period of time."

Liu Hong still frowned, his eyes looking at Liu Bian, who was already shivering while kneeling and sitting in the hall.

Liu Hong had many heirs before, but they all died young.

When He Lingsi was not yet the Empress, she gave birth to Liu Bian.

But He Lingsi was worried that Liu Bian would be harmed if he stayed in the palace, so she sent him out of the palace to be raised, leaving him with a Taoist priest named Shi.

Because of Liu Bian's status, outsiders did not dare to call his name, so they called him Shi Hou.

It is said that the Taoist priest named Shi knew Taoist arts, and He Lingsi wanted that Taoist priest named Shi to use Taoist arts to protect Liu Bian.

But He Lingsi calculated everything but did not calculate.

March of last year.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out.

Liu Hong issued an edict to arrest all the Taiping Dao and other Taoist priests in Luoyang City.

Therefore, Liu Bian was also brought back.

As for that Taoist priest named Shi, he was also beheaded by Liu Hong's edict.

For these years, Liu Bian has been raised outside the palace, and originally he was not close to Liu Hong.

Coupled with the fact that he was raised by a Taoist priest, after the Taiping Dao rebellion broke out, Liu Hong hated Taoist priests even more.

After returning to the palace, Liu Hong didn't like Liu Bian at all.

His personality is weak and timid, and his words and deeds have no imperial style.

His eyes are erratic, and his behavior is frivolous.

Compared with him, Liu Xie, who was raised by Empress Dowager Dong since childhood, is liked by Liu Hong no matter how he looks at him.

The matter of the country lies in establishing a crown prince.

Last year, when Liu Bian just returned to the Luoyang Imperial Palace, some ministers proposed to establish a crown prince.

After all, Liu Hong's health is not good.

In recent years, Liu Hong has hollowed out his body due to wine and sex, and his health is getting worse every day.

The ministers suggested that Liu Hong establish a crown prince early.

Logically speaking, Liu Bian is the eldest imperial son, and now he is also the eldest son of the Empress, so the position of crown prince looks like Liu Bian's no matter how you look at it.

But Liu Hong suppressed this matter.

And there are rumors that Liu Hong does not like Liu Bian, but likes Liu Xie.

For this reason, He Lingsi is very anxious.

Just as He Lingsi was about to explain again, a feeling of churning suddenly came from her abdomen.

Immediately after, He Lingsi covered her face and retched to the side.

"Your Majesty, I am not feeling well, I will take my leave first." He Lingsi said to Liu Hong on the side.

PS: Since yesterday, my left eye and ear suddenly started to hurt. I went to the hospital for an IV drip in the afternoon. My blood pressure is a bit high, diastolic 100, systolic 140. The diagnosis is sympathetic nerve excitation and nerve compression, and insufficient blood supply to the brain.

Years of work plus writing books have left me with severe cervical spondylosis.

Originally, my writing cycle is about two months, and I have to rest for a period of time every two months, but seeing the daily urging and charging from you, I am really moved.

Thank you for the company and love of you all for such a long time.

Having your company along the way is my greatest motivation.

I have seen the concern of many readers in the book review section. I will carefully check every one of them, every word, and I bow ninety degrees and thank you with a fist salute.

I will make up for the updates I missed in the past two days after I adjust my body.

In addition, regarding the plot issues, those who discuss the plot in the comment section can @ me. I will consider arranging any good opinions or suggestions. This volume is also coming to an end, and there will be a summary at that time.

I was in the hospital all day yesterday. Although I am a bit late, I still wish everyone a happy Lantern Festival. The Lantern Festival of the Year of the Snake is here, and lanterns illuminate the world. Looking at those lanterns of various shapes, some like lively birds, some like gorgeous flowers, and some like auspicious beasts from ancient legends, each lantern carries people's wishes for a better life. The stalls for guessing lantern riddles are bustling with noise and excitement. Everyone is racking their brains, cheering for guessing the answer, full of lively and festive atmosphere. On this special day, I wish your tangyuan full of the taste of reunion, and the warmth in your heart will never dissipate. I wish you a prosperous career in the new year, like this lively Lantern Festival market, with constant opportunities; sweet love as before, holding hands with your lover through every romantic moment; troubles in life dissipate, happiness is always with you, all expectations can arrive as scheduled, and the rest of your life will be treated with beauty and tenderness. ===== CHAPTER 1039 =====
