Chapter 1062

There was no longer the exquisite makeup on her face from the past.

The whole person appeared extremely haggard.

Sitting behind the desk with chopsticks in her hand, she had not touched a single bite of the food placed in front of her.

"Your Majesty, please eat something; your health is important." Lvliu persuaded softly from the side: "If your health collapses, wouldn't that just let the people outside get their way?"

The expression on He Lingsi's face did not change because of Lvliu's words.

Putting down the chopsticks in her hand, He Lingsi sighed and said: "Take it all away, I have no appetite. Go and get me some plum juice."

Lvliu nodded with a pained heart, then let the other palace maids take the food away, and went to fetch a bowl of plum juice herself.

Looking at the plum juice in the gold bowl, He Lingsi's beautiful eyes were full of worry.

The Changqiu Palace was blockaded.

News from outside could not get in.

News from inside the palace could not get out.

She didn't know what happened to the news she sent out of the palace earlier.

She also didn't know what the situation outside was like now.

What she was most worried about now was that the Emperor would suddenly die, the position of Crown Prince would be taken away, and then what awaited her would likely be being thrown into the cold palace.

Just as He Lingsi was worrying, a palace maid outside suddenly came to report.

"Your Majesty, the Regular Attendant Zuo Feng is here."

Hearing that Zuo Feng had come, He Lingsi immediately perked up and asked someone to invite Zuo Feng in.

A moment later, the cautious Zuo Feng arrived in He Lingsi's bedroom.

"Empress." Zuo Feng bowed and saluted after seeing He Lingsi.

"No need for formalities, no need for formalities." He Lingsi said hurriedly: "What is the situation outside now?"

Zuo Feng sighed and said: "Your Majesty, this humble servant spent a great deal of effort to get in."

"After the court session just ended, the Empress Dowager has already ordered the blockade of the Changqiu Palace, and no one is allowed to enter anymore."

"This humble servant risked coming in just to pass a message to Your Majesty, to let Your Majesty be careful."

He Lingsi nodded hurriedly and gave a wink to her close attendant Lvliu: "Go and take a box of my jewelry."

Zuo Feng waved his hand upon hearing this: "Your Majesty, there is no need for that, this humble servant... this humble servant was also entrusted by the Marquis of Ji."

Duan Yu?

He Lingsi was startled.

"Your Majesty, there is no time to say more, this humble servant will tell Your Majesty the important things."

He Lingsi nodded immediately.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has just gathered the ministers for a court discussion and established the Marquis of Dong as Crown Prince."

"What!" He Lingsi's face changed and she stood up from her seat in shock.

"Your Majesty, do not be agitated. The Grand General did not enter the palace today; he must be thinking of a way outside."

"It is just that Your Majesty needs to be careful inside the palace."

"Everything... everything must be careful."

"Now... now unless His Majesty recovers, everything can only rely on the Marquis of Ji."

"Your Majesty, please take care of yourself, this humble servant is leaving now."

After saying this, Zuo Feng did not dare to stay any longer and hurriedly left the Changqiu Palace.

At this time, the Changqiu Palace was no different from a cold palace.

As soon as the Emperor died and the new Emperor succeeded to the throne, He Lingsi's ending and fate would be sealed.

After Zuo Feng left, He Lingsi seemed to have become a fool.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, didn't the Regular Attendant Zuo say that the Grand General is thinking of a way? Although the Empress Dowager established the Marquis of Dong as Crown Prince, she might not dare to harm Your Majesty."

"As long as we are careful, perhaps the Grand General is already inviting the Marquis of Ji to Luoyang to preside over the overall situation."

"As long as the Marquis of Ji comes, he will surely be able to keep Your Majesty worry-free."

The stunned He Lingsi regained some of her senses.

Duan Yu...

Will he... will he come?

After the court session ended, the news that the Marquis of Dong, Liu Xie, had been established as Crown Prince spread throughout Luoyang.

And several imperial decrees issued by Empress Dowager Dong also rushed out of Luoyang from several directions.

Among them were those inviting Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, who were still in Nanyang, to bring troops into Luoyang.

There were also those sent to Bingzhou to invite the Inspector of Bingzhou, Ding Yuan, to bring troops to blockade the Hangu Pass area.

This news also spread from Luoyang to the city defense army camp outside Luoyang.

When He Jin learned that Liu Xie had been named Crown Prince, he was almost scared out of his wits.

Liu Xie being named Crown Prince meant that the end of the He clan was coming.

After learning this news, He Jin had no choice but to send several more orders, urging Duan Yu to immediately bring troops to Luoyang.

At first, He Jin was still hesitating.

But now, He Jin was eager for Duan Yu to appear in Luoyang immediately.

Ji County.

After the New Year, the entire Liangzhou began to operate like a huge and precise machine.

The million refugees who migrated from Jizhou last year had already begun the population migration plan toward various commanderies according to the previously planned schedule after preparing for several months last year.

Last autumn, after Duan Yu cleared out all the ten clans and eight families, he obtained most of the land, and coupled with the reason of deterrence, the land reform was carried out extremely smoothly in Liangzhou.

However, at this moment, a piece of news that Duan Yu never expected reached the Governor's Mansion.

Liu Hong was actually about to kick the bucket!

And it was done by his father-in-law, Dong Zhuo! ===== CHAPTER 1064 =====
