Daming Super Dimension Company, President Zhu Yuanzhang!

Ban Chao's status in the Western Regions is very high.

He solved the great troubles in the Western Regions, and the Emperor of the Han Dynasty did not treat him badly. In the seventh year of Yongyuan, Emperor Liu Zhao of the Han Dynasty issued an edict to confer him the title of Marquis of Dingyuan, with a settlement of thousands of households. Later generations called him "Ban Dingyuan".

"Ban Chao went to the Western Regions in his twenties and made numerous achievements. He was even more loyal to the court. Until the twelfth year of Yongyuan, Ban Chao wrote a letter requesting to return to the Han Dynasty. His sister Ban Zhao also requested to recall him. The memorial was delivered and Liu Zhao agreed to summon Ban Chao back to the court. According to records, Ban Chao stayed in the Western Regions for a total of thirty-one years.

When Xiao Ran said this, he suddenly remembered, "This year happens to be the time when Ban Chao passes away."

"What! My brother is going to die this year?!" Ban Zhao was shocked.

"Your Majesty has arranged the best physician for my brother. How could it happen so suddenly?"

Xiao Ran was helpless, "I have been fighting for many years, and I am far away in the Western Region. I am already old, and my body will certainly not be able to hold on. No matter how good the medical skills are, it can only delay death, and it cannot be delayed for too long."

Even the hospitals of later generations may not be able to save an old person whose body has been strained for many years.

Ban Zhao was stunned. As Ban Chao's sister, she knew that there was nothing wrong with what Xiao Ran said.

She murmured to herself, "I thought my brother could last another two years."

"Sir, can you give me an approximate time so that my family can be prepared."

"August." Xiao Ran said.

Ban Zhao stood up and bowed respectfully, "Thank you sir."

Then, he looked at Liu Bang and said, "I'm sorry that I can't stay in the palace with peace of mind. I sincerely ask His Majesty Emperor Taizu to allow me to return to the palace to find my brother."

"Go." Liu Bang nodded in agreement.

Ban Zhao left in a hurry.

Only Xiao Ran and Liu Bang were left in the hall again.

Liu Bang poured the tea and asked, "Who do you think will be poisoning this time?"

"I'm afraid she's still the Yin Queen."

Xiao Ran had already speculated on this issue.

"Queen Yin has been queen for many years and has no heirs. She is cruel and ruthless. What's more, Queen Dou is dead. Even if someone misses Queen Dou's kindness, the only one they want to kill is Liu Zhao."

Liu Bang had the same idea.

Time passed quickly, and Liu Zhao returned to the hall with a gloomy face, anger still remaining in his eyes.

"The matter has been investigated clearly. It was Queen Yin who killed other princes because she had no heirs. Even the eunuchs around me had her arrangements."

Xiao Ran and Liu Bang were not surprised.

No wonder Liu Zhao has not found out the truth for so many years.

"I have ordered that all the palace officials involved be killed and Queen Yin be killed. I will tell the world tomorrow morning so that Queen Yin's crimes will be known to the world!"

The more he talked, the angrier he became. Liu Zhao never expected that Queen Yin, who once slept with him, could be so cruel as to murder an innocent child.

Xiao Ran said: "The hidden danger of the heir's death has been resolved. Now that the order is complete, you can pay first."

"The queen and my children are still alive in future generations." Liu Zhao was slightly stunned and said hurriedly.

"I didn't ask you to click confirmation to send the child and Queen Deng back. You have to pay gold first." Xiao Ran explained.

After Liu Zhao understood this, he asked the palace servants to go to the treasury to get the gold.

"Okay, once the children recover, I will send them back."

Xiao Ran said with a smile.

He looked at Liu Bang again, "Do you have anything else to tell me? If not, just leave."

Liu Bang shook his head, "I said before that it's time to go back."

The two figures disappeared into the hall.

……

Jimo ancient city

After returning to Xiao Ran's house, Liu Bang went directly back to his palace without staying much.

Xiao Ran went to the hospital to see several children and Queen Deng Sui.

For convenience, several children were arranged in one ward. Empress Ma was worried that Deng Sui would not be able to take care of them, so she personally helped.

When Xiao Ran came in with the fruit, Deng Sui was alone and the four children watched TV quietly.

"Mr. Xiao, have you found the results of the investigation into the matter in the palace?"

Deng Sui couldn't help asking eagerly. She had been thinking about things in the palace these days.

"Found out." Xiao Ran nodded and told in detail what happened in the palace.

Deng Sui sighed, "I didn't expect Queen Yin to be so vicious."

Xiao Ran laughed and asked, "Queen Deng, why don't you know that she has evil thoughts?"

Without any change in his expression, Deng Sui said softly: "I don't have the ability to predict. How can I know it?"

"Yeah."

Xiao Ran didn't believe it.

But I was too lazy to continue to care about it, so I put the fruit on the cabinet.

"When the little princess recovers, I will send you back."

"Then I'll trouble Mr. Xiao," Deng Sui said.

When the doctor came to check the ward, he learned that the little princess could be discharged from the hospital to recuperate. Queen Ma happened to be back at this time.

Xiao Ran asked Deng Sui's opinion, "Should I send you back now, or wait a little longer."

"There is a turmoil in the palace, and the imperial doctors may also be implicated. Let's wait until the princess is completely recovered before going back." Deng Sui showed a worried look.

"Okay, then stay a little longer and I will come over to see you from time to time." Xiao Ran said.

Seeing several children, Xiao Ran suddenly said, "If you are too bored in the hospital, you can ask aunt to take you to a nearby park."

Deng Sui agreed.

Queen Ma said softly: "Don't forget to eat properly at home."

"I know, auntie, if you have anything to do, just tell the nurse and she will contact me." Xiao Ran said with a smile.

After paying the hospitalization fee, Xiao Ran went home directly.

Huo Qubing was rarely here. He was eating fruit happily, but the TV was playing the drama "The Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period".

"I heard that you took an order. What are the customer's needs?"

Sensing Xiao Ran's return, Huo Qubing handed over an apple and asked curiously.

Xiao Ran took it and took a bite, "If I hadn't gone through the poisoning of the heir this time, there would probably only be a seriously ill prince left in the palace."

Liu Sheng, who survived in history, suffered from epilepsy, and his treatment is now very slow.

Xiao Ran didn't need to think about this to know that Liu Zhao would choose to let Liu Sheng stay in future generations for treatment.

"Children are so innocent, and the struggle in the palace is really tragic." They are all ancients, and Huo Qubing knows very well why the prince died tragically.

"Princes and princesses cannot avoid fighting for power and favor." There are many records in the history that Xiao Ran has read.

Huo Qubing said: "I went there this time to help fight. I fought in the desert for several days and almost died of thirst."

What he is best at is fighting, so he never takes other orders.

"You should be careful. If you are still fighting after leaving the Han Dynasty, your body will not be able to withstand your torment." Xiao Ran was speechless. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che sent Huo Qubing here to recuperate his health. If he is tired, he might as well be idle in the Han Dynasty.

Huo Qubing waved his hand, "Don't worry, I didn't go to the battlefield, I just commanded from behind."

Not wanting to be talked about, he quickly changed the subject.

"Last time I told Fusu that I wanted to see Meng Tian, ​​but I didn't know when he would come over."
