The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 1145
The emperor turned his gaze to Gu Chengyu, seeing Gu Chengyu nodding towards him, he was relieved.

Looking at the entrance to the hall for the last time, his eyes gradually blurred.

"The emperor?" The queen sensed that the emperor was wrong, and immediately rushed forward.

The prince suddenly panicked, "Prince doctor, come in quickly."

The imperial physician and other doctors who were frowning in the side hall and looking at each other shuddered when they heard that the crown prince was shouting.

They looked at each other, seeing shock and anxiety in each other's eyes.

The emperor slowly closed his eyes, and then his chest stopped rising and falling.

Gu Chengyu knelt down on the ground, his face was full of grief.

"The emperor?" De'an stepped forward and shouted, but the emperor didn't respond.

Then he slowly placed his index finger under the emperor's nose with a trembling, "Ah!"

"Emperor, Your Majesty, empress?" He trembled and looked at the queen.

The queen was in a trance at the moment, and suddenly her eyes dimmed, and she lost consciousness.

"Mother's queen?" The prince caught the queen's crooked body and shouted anxiously.

Court Envoy Zhang hurriedly ran to the dragon couch, he stretched out his hand to feel for the emperor's pulse, and then shouted with a heavy face, "The emperor is dead!"

Everyone inside and outside the hall knelt down when they heard the words, Gu Chengyu knelt on the ground, and the little things about getting along with the emperor in the past could not help but emerge in his mind.

No matter how much the emperor plots against him, he is still kind to him after all.

Gu Chengyu couldn't help but feel sad when a living person passed away like this, and at the same time he still felt hesitant about the way forward.

The new emperor is about to ascend the throne, and what awaits him is unknown.And the undercurrent that was hidden under the calm before, can you still hold back at this moment?
The prince carried the queen to the imperial concubine's couch on the other side, and called an imperial doctor to come forward for diagnosis and treatment.

The imperial physician also knew that this was an extraordinary period, and he dared not take his time as usual.

I saw that he didn't even open the cloth bag where the silver needle was placed, but stepped forward and grabbed the queen's hand.

The prince was startled, but then calmed down again.The imperial doctor put in a lot of effort, and the queen finally woke up slowly.

As soon as she opened her hazy eyes, the queen seemed to remember something, and burst into tears again.

She suddenly sat up from the imperial concubine's couch, and ran towards the dragon couch in a stumbling manner.

"Your majesty? Why are you so cruel, and you just let go like this?" The phoenix hairpin on the queen's head had slipped off, but she didn't realize it.Clutching the emperor's hand, he shook it for a while, his face was covered with tears.

The prince followed behind him and also knelt down in front of the dragon couch.

"Father!" The prince lay on the ground, his shoulders were shaking constantly, and his voice was choked with sobs.

De'an even sat paralyzed on the ground, wiping his tears with a handkerchief, and the hall was full of crying.

Under the influence of such an atmosphere, Gu Chengyu couldn't help shedding a few tears.

Suddenly there was a burst of crying outside the hall, and some concubines had already broken into the hall.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, you are so cruel! Why did you leave your concubine behind?"

Gu Chengyu looked up and saw many Yingying and Yanyan rushing into the hall, he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.

Harem concubines are not favored by many.It is difficult to see the emperor on weekdays, but now the emperor Bintian can't even see the last one.

The queen didn't stop her either. At this point, there was no need to be so harsh.After all, most of these concubines will end up in the nunnery or in the cold palace in the future.

It would be the best ending to stay in a remote palace if it was a little more face-saving.

Everyone in the hall was only concerned with mourning, but they didn't remember to arrange the emperor's funeral.Looking at De'an again, De'an was completely lost, and he couldn't lift his spirits at all.

Seeing this, Gu Chengyu couldn't help sighing.

"Empress, Your Highness! The death of the emperor is a major event for the country. The funeral must be announced as soon as possible, and the officials and the people must be notified."

Hearing this, the prince stopped crying.

"Boom", "Boom", "Boom".
The eldest princess woke up from her dream, she sat up suddenly, and listened intently.

Nanny Chang rushed into the inner room with a mournful face, "Your Highness! The emperor has passed away!"

The eldest princess was very sad when she heard the words, "Royal father!"

Qin Guogong ran out from his aunt's courtyard. On the way, he met Princess Rongjia, Qin Min and others who were going to the main courtyard, and rushed into the main courtyard together.

The eldest princess was already dressed in mourning, supported by Nanny Chang, and walked out of the house.

"Mother!" Qin Yingyuan had tears in her eyes, looking at her mother with worry in her eyes.

The eldest princess seemed to have lost all strength, "Go, go to the palace!"

The dull bell echoed in every corner of the capital, and the common people were awakened by the bell.They got up, walked out of the house, and looked in the direction of the imperial city.

In the mansions of the major aristocratic families in the capital, all the officials hurriedly put on plain onyx and ran towards the palace without any time to think.

"Master! Could it be the emperor?" Ning asked anxiously as he put on Liang Zhirui's mourning clothes.

Liang Zhirui nodded, "This is the death knell. Some time ago, it was reported that the emperor was unwell. I didn't expect it to be so fast."

He touched the mourning clothes on his body, feeling sad.

"Send someone to Jinyu's mansion to have a look, and point them out so as not to cause a collision. In troubled times, you should proceed with caution."

Liang Zhirui sighed, and then left the room.

A sound of cavalry came from the outskirts of Beijing, "Wow!"

The first person reined in the reins, stopped, and listened carefully to the movement from the capital.

His breath suddenly became unsteady, and the hand holding the rein trembled slightly.

"My lord, this is the death knell!" The two behind him chased up, their tone urgent.

"Who is it? Who is it? Tell me!" The first person turned his head suddenly, his eyes were red, his voice was choked up, and he asked in disbelief.

"My lord! No matter who it is, the capital is under martial law at this moment, and it may not be easy for us to sneak into the city."

In fact, he dare not say that there are only two people in the palace who can strike the death knell.

One is the ruler of the world, the emperor; the other is the empress who is under one person and above ten thousand people.

Some time ago, the prince had learned that the emperor was seriously ill, so the death knell, needless to say, could be guessed who it was.

The prince looked up at the sky, thought that there would be no more pain, but he still couldn't help it, how could he be so useless?

Closing his eyes, he replied with a trembling voice: "It is really difficult for us to go in now. We will be able to enter the palace two days after the crown prince will be mourned. Let the others get ready and follow my king's orders."

"Yes!"

"Lord Xia, do you still dare to enter the palace at this moment? Are you not afraid that the crown prince will ask you for crimes?"

A man in a black cloak stood in the study of the Xia Mansion, and asked with some sarcasm in a dark voice.

At this moment, Xia Qing had already changed into plain onyx, but instead of going to the palace, he paced around the study.

"Hmph! If I make a mistake, you won't get any good. Tianji was recommended by me. Once I'm caught, I won't keep my mouth shut."

Xia Qing squinted his eyes, he wouldn't be caught by this person, treating him as a three-year-old?
