Empress Chen asked as she hurried into the room.
The next moment, he covered his mouth and stood there in a daze.
By the window.
Liu Hao turned around stiffly with the help of Alang and others.
Seeing Empress Chen, who was both surprised and happy, crying and laughing, she called out softly: "Mother!"
Empress Chen came back to her senses and rushed forward, looking Liu Hao up and down, then squatted down and stroked his leg: "Hao'er, your leg?"
Liu Hao turned around and ordered: "Alang, go and invite our father over.
Ah Gan, the rest of you go guard outside and don't let anyone get close. I have something to say to my father, the emperor, and my mother."
Several personal shadow guards received the order and left.
Empress Chen excitedly supported Liu Hao and said, "What happened? Your leg..."
"Mother, it was Jiu'er, it was Jiu'er who saved me!"
"When she put her hand on your forehead?"
"Well, she placed her hand on my forehead, and I felt a warm current flowing through my body..."
"So, your legs are healed and you can walk?"
"He should be fine now, feeling conscious and having strength again.
But after all, I haven't walked for five years, and my legs are stiff and inflexible. I might need to move around more before I can walk again."
"That's great! That's great..." Queen Chen's voice trembled, she was so excited that she didn't know what to say.
When Emperor Dongling got the news, he left Nangong Honglie and his son and hurried to Kunning Palace.
When he saw Liu Hao walking step by step with a smile on his face, supported by Empress Chen, he could hardly believe his eyes.
In the past few years, he tried every possible way to find famous doctors, experienced countless hopes and disappointments, and when he slowly accepted the cruel reality that there was no cure, he miraculously stood up.
The emperor, known for his ruthless and decisive actions, actually had tears in his eyes. He took a few steps forward and excitedly held Liu Hao's shoulders: "Hao'er, your legs..."
"Father, my legs are strong and I can feel them again. It was Jiuer who saved me."
Liu Hao wiped the sweat from his forehead and pulled his father, the emperor, and his mother to sit down.
"Jiu'er not only saved me, but also told me that you will be poisoned by Concubine Xue and her son, and I will be skinned and pulled out of my flesh..."
Empress Chen gritted her teeth and said, "Jiu'er also told me, red dates, lotus seeds, and bird's nest porridge..."
Emperor Dongling nodded and said: "Jiu'er also told me that Liu Heng is not my flesh and blood. I have already sent secret guards to find evidence.
I have discussed the poisoning matter with General Nangong and his son. The best way to deal with it is to catch them in the act so that they cannot deny it.
We are also stepping up our efforts to catch them all in one fell swoop."
"Liu Heng is not the emperor's flesh and blood, then whose son is he?" Queen Chen frowned.
“I don’t know for now, Jiuer didn’t say.
General Nangong suggested that I carry Jiuer to the birthday banquet so she can see Liu Heng and his mother. Perhaps this will yield some results."
Empress Chen was anxious: "It's bad, Jiu'er fell asleep from exhaustion after saving Hao'er."
"It's okay. There's still about an hour before the birthday banquet starts. Let's see if she can wake up. If not, we can find another opportunity next time."
Liu Hao nodded and said, "The rest of my life is given to me by Jiuer. I will avenge myself and them, mother and daughter.
Also, don’t let others know that my leg has healed for now. It will be useful when the time comes, so you can catch them off guard…”
Emperor Dongling agreed.
"If things really go as Jiuer said, our lives were given by Jiuer.
Jiu'er is not simple, we must keep it a secret and treat her well! "
End of the Shen hour.
The birthday banquet officially begins.
Everyone gathered in the main hall, and the Queen Mother, Emperor Dongling, and Empress Chen sat on the throne.
The ministers and their families all bowed and celebrated the birthday.
During this time, steaming delicious dishes were served on the table one after another.
Smells so good!
There is delicious food!
Nangong Jiu, who was sleeping soundly in his mother's arms, fanned his nose lightly.
Unfortunately, I was too sleepy and my eyelids were too heavy, and the delicious food could not resist the sleepiness.
When a fragrant, secret palace recipe of crispy duck was served on the table, Nangong Jiu struggled for a long time, but finally couldn't resist the temptation of the food and woke up from his sleepiness.
The little fat boy's hands were scratching around anxiously, and his saliva was flowing out from the corners of his mouth.
[Smells so good! Eat, eat, eat...]
"Jiuer, be good and don't make trouble." Nangong Yunxue coaxed gently.
The eunuch who was closely watching Nangong Jiu's movements quickly told Emperor Dongling the news that Nangong Jiu had woken up.
Emperor Dongling whispered something in the Queen Mother's ear, and the Queen Mother raised her head happily.
"I heard that General Nangong's daughter has been found. When she was little, she and Hao'er often came to visit me in the Cining Palace.
I haven't seen you for many years, where are you?"
Nangong Honglie whispered a few words in Nangong Yunxue's ear. Nangong Yunxue nodded and walked forward holding Nangong Jiu to salute.
"Xue'er pays homage to the Queen Mother. I wish you blessings as vast as the East Sea and a long life as long as the Southern Mountains!"
"Okay, okay! Xue girl has grown up now. I guess the child you are holding is your child, right? Hurry and bring it here for me to see."
Nangong Yunxue walked forward as instructed.
The Queen Mother looked at Nangong Jiu and said, "This child is so adorable!"
As he spoke, he took off an egg-sized peace locket from his neck and put it on Nangong Jiu's neck: "This peace locket was blessed by a Taoist monk. It will definitely keep the child safe."
"Thank you, Queen Mother, for your grace!"
Emperor Dongling took this opportunity to say, "This child is indeed adorable. Come, let me hold him. You can return to your seat first."
Nangong Yunxue bowed and retreated, returning to her seat at the Nangong family's.
After this little episode, birthday gifts began to be given.
As the empress dowager's eldest grandson, Liu Heng was naturally the first.
A eunuch saluted loudly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince presents a birthday gift."
Liu Heng stood up, stepped out of the line, straightened his clothes, and walked a few steps to the Queen Mother.
"Grandmother, I wish you a happy and prosperous year every year!"
Then he clapped his hands lightly.
Four attendants brought a large box and opened it, revealing a three-foot-tall fire tree.
"Grandmother, this is a lucky treasure that your grandson has found especially for you. May your future be as prosperous as this fiery tree!"
The Queen Mother was overjoyed when she saw the beautiful red fire tree.
There are not many fire trees to begin with, and a fire tree this tall is even rarer. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a rare treasure.
"Heng'er is thoughtful. You are a good and filial child!"
The whole hall was filled with exclamations and praises.
“Wow, so beautiful!”
"The eldest prince is no ordinary person. To be able to find such a large fire tree, he must have spent a lot of money."
"That's for sure..."
Liu Heng glanced at everyone with pride, then looked at the happy empress dowager, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
I'm just letting you keep it for a few days. I spent a lot of money to find this palace treasure. Do you, an old woman, think you are worthy of it?
Emperor Dongling smiled.
Nangong Jiu in his arms looked at Huo Shu, and then looked at Liu Heng who had a smug look on his face.
You are so ignorant. In my palace, there is a tree twice as big as yours, but I don’t show it off like you do.
[Humph, why are you so proud? He's just the bastard born to Concubine Xue and Xue Huaian.]
