Xiao Guizi stayed outside the tent all night and made a record: On a certain day of a certain month of a certain year, at a certain time, the King of Yunzhong visited Liu Ji and Cai Wenji all night long without stopping until the rooster crowed at dawn.
......
Luoyang City!
Late at night, Yong'an Palace.
Only a few lights were dimly lit.
The eunuchs and palace maids on night duty dared not doze off outside the palace and had to stay alert.
Meanwhile, Empress He, dressed only in a thin veil, curled up with her graceful and voluptuous body, had already fallen asleep in her palace.
He Jin offered a brilliant plan from Xun You, a staff member in the General's mansion: to use the pretext that Emperor Ling was seriously ill to allow members of the imperial family to return to the capital to attend to him.
At the same time, he secretly had people spread the word about it everywhere, making it known to everyone.
The five imperial clan governors either sent their eldest sons back to Luoyang, and the Prince of Chenliu also drove back in a carriage with his confidants.
The three princesses, Princess Yang'an (Liu Hua), Princess Yingyin (Liu Jian), and Princess Yangdi (Liu Xiu), also rushed back.
It is worth mentioning Princess Yang'an, whose husband was Fu Wan, the Marquis of Buqi and General of the State.
The couple had six sons and one daughter, who would later become Empress Fu Shou, the wife of Emperor Xian of Han (Liu Xie).
The imperial family and clansmen have all come to visit the ailing Emperor Ling, Liu Hong. Now, only Prince Liu Wei, who is far away in the Hetao region, is missing!
Although the round trip from Luoyang to Hetao takes a month.
But a month passed, and Liu Wei still hadn't returned.
Empress He was in a bad mood, and with Liu Hong seriously ill, she had no one to take care of her, so she was always throwing tantrums and beating palace maids and eunuchs to vent her anger.
Fortunately, He Jin entered the palace and persuaded Empress He that Liu Wei would definitely come, which lessened her anger.
After eating some pastries, Empress He, who had been feeling physically and mentally exhausted for days, fell into a deep sleep.
She didn't know how much time had passed, but in a daze, she walked to the depths of the Imperial Garden, where it was quiet and deserted.
Suddenly, Liu Wei, dressed in military uniform, appeared in front of her, blocking her way with a sly smile.
Empress He was shocked and turned to flee, but Liu Wei grabbed her.
Empress He cried out for protection, but no one responded. Then, her body felt light as Liu Wei lifted her up by the waist.
"You beast, how dare you molest me? I am your mother!" Empress He shouted, her small hands pounding Liu Wei.
Unexpectedly, Liu Wei roughly pushed him down onto the grass.
then...
Empress He was both shocked and furious, and struggled desperately.
Suddenly she screamed and woke up in a cold sweat!
