The Master of Cultivation rises up

The two brothers knelt down together.

"Where are your mother and auntie?" Li Chao asked without seeing the two of them.

"The eldest lady and the second lady have entered the palace. The emperor issued an order, saying that it was the empress dowager's intention. Commander Li has already visited the doctor, and there is no danger of life for the time being. It is just that he has lost too much blood and is still in a coma. The specific details can only be confirmed." The answer can only come after he wakes up. The young lady is overwhelmed with grief and has fainted several times. The old slave sent someone to send her back to her room, but do you want me to call her over?" Li Li answered one by one without any details, and the elders in the family were not there. , the only one who can call the shots is Li Chao, the future head of the family.

"No, let her rest. Is there a funeral?" Li Chao asked again.

"Never, I only sent letters to the Grand Master, the Prince Regent's Mansion, and the Liu family in the Ministry of Rites. For the rest, it's up to the wives to decide."

"Are there any replies from these companies?"

"Wang's residence and Liu's family have both replied, but no one from the Elder Master has responded to the letter, and the person who reported the funeral has not returned."

"Maybe it's because of some delays on the way, so I'll send someone to go again. Tonight, I will keep a vigil for my father. As the eldest son and grandson of the family, eldest brother and Li Cheng must be present."

"The old slave knows. Is there anything else you can order, Young Master?"

Li Chao nodded and shook his head: "I'll call you if there's anything to do, please trouble housekeeper Li."

"Don't dare, this old slave is terrified. This is the job of this old slave. Don't beat this old slave. This old slave resigns." After Li Li kowtowed, he left the mourning hall. The two brothers were in the mourning hall. The sound of ordering servants, hurried footsteps, and the sound of doors opening and closing.

When everything returned to calm again, Li Xiao turned his attention to his younger brother.Watching him deal with it all in an orderly manner doesn't look like a 12-year-old kid at all.There was no emotion in his eyes, and the calmness was terrifying. Is this strange person his younger brother?

Li Xiao couldn't believe it, and an inexplicable sadness rose in his heart.He seemed to realize that with his father's death, the lively and lovely younger brother in his memory also died along with him.He opened his mouth and said nothing, tears streaming down his cheeks.

Brother, don't do this.

Li Mian brought the dinner to the mourning hall. According to the customs of the immortal dynasty, unmarried daughters were not allowed to wear filial piety clothes, not to mention that Li Mian had a marriage contract with Wen Zhong, the eldest son of the Wen family.She took off her makeup and jewellery, and wore only plain clothes, with a white flower on her head to express her condolences.The three brothers and sisters had no appetite, so they knelt on the ground and ate a few bites.

The light rain in the evening turned into a torrential rain at night, Gongsun Qingxi and Liu Qianran were stranded in the palace and had not yet returned home.The servant who went to Li's mansion to deliver the letter did not come back, Li Chao was a little concerned, and always felt that something would happen tonight.Li Daoan's death occupied all his energy, and he couldn't think about other things.

Li Li walked through the rain-poured front yard with an umbrella, shook his wet clothes outside the mourning hall, then entered the mourning hall, and knelt down to report to Li Chao.

"Young master, just now the palace sent someone to send a message, saying that it rained too much tonight, and the two ladies will stay in the other courtyard of the palace, and they will send someone back tomorrow morning."

Li Chao nodded knowingly, and then asked again, "I see. The person who sent the letter to the uncle's house hasn't returned yet?"

Li Li shook his head: "Never, do you want to send someone over?"

Li Chao felt that something was wrong. It was only an hour's journey from Duke Huguo's mansion to uncle's house.He raised his head, looked through the door, and fell on the dark sky.He had a feeling that tonight was destined to be a restless night.

The sky suddenly lit up, and after the stern lightning, a thunderbolt exploded.Frightened, Li Mian hid in Li Xiao's arms, her eyes widened helplessly.After the thunder, there was a brief silence. Li Chao could hear someone beating on the gate, and occasionally he could hear the cry of a child, which was especially faint in the sound of rain.

Li Chao thought it was his own illusion at first, until the housekeeper also hesitated. "Master, it seems that someone is knocking on the door."

Li Chao's face changed suddenly, he remembered who the familiar cry was, it was Li Cheng!

In the middle of the night...something really happened! "It's Li Cheng! Go and open the door!"

Li Li let out an "ah" and went out to find an umbrella. Li Chao despised his ink marks and rushed straight into the rain.The heavy rain poured on him, and within a short distance of a few steps, Li Chao was completely chilled.Li Li behind him held an umbrella and followed behind Li Chao.

"Master, umbrella."

With Li Li's help, Li Chao opened the heavy door, and two figures, one big and one small, fell into the door.Li Jingan, who always paid attention to his appearance, was soaked to the ground, not even wearing a coir raincoat, and hugging Li Cheng, who was only wearing a middle coat, fell to the ground and couldn't get up.The grandparents and grandchildren looked very embarrassed, and Li Jing'an seemed to be injured, and a dark liquid was oozing out from under his body.Li Cheng's face was flushed and he was sickly, as if he had a fever.The little guy stubbornly opened his eyes wide and refused to fall asleep.

Li Chao, who was shocked by this scene, only heard Li Jing'an say: "The regent rebelled, and the entire Eastern Capital was surrounded by rebels!
