meet again

After coming out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Concubine Cao was completely cold.

Concubine Tian Shu hadn't recovered from the two terrifying words of "sacrifice and burial", her whole body was trembling non-stop.It was only because of the help of the palace servants that his legs were weak and he didn't faint.

Concubine Cao was not in the mood to laugh at Concubine Tian Shu, and returned to Ganquan Palace with the support of the palace staff.

Concubine Tian Shu didn't go back to Cuiwei Palace, but actually followed Ganquan Palace.Concubine Tian Shu hugged Concubine Cao's arm and cried, wiping her nose and tears: "I really didn't expect that the emperor would be so cruel."

"I was favored and gave birth to King Zhao. These years, I have been honest and peaceful, and I have never made a fuss."

"One night husband and wife for a hundred days and nights. Why is the emperor so cruel? He wants me to be buried!"

Concubine Tian Shu didn't care about her appearance and posture, she cried with tears and snot all over her face.

It is rare for Concubine Cao and Concubine Tian Shu to feel sorry for each other. She gritted her teeth and said with red eyes, "The emperor is afraid that our mother and child will be restless, which will affect the succession of the prince in the future. What are you and me? In the eyes of the emperor, no one is as important as his country. "

Concubine Tian Shu cried for a while, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, was stunned for a long time, and said in a low voice: "Sister Cao, what are you going to do? I'm fine with that, you've been in the harem for so many years, is it possible that you also want to leave the capital with the King of Han? "

Concubine Cao's eyes flashed with intense resentment, and she snorted from her nose: "What can I do if I don't leave! The emperor even said that he should be buried, if he should not, he will be buried!"

Concubine Tian Shu lowered her voice and said, "Are you willing?"

Of course she was not reconciled.

One hundred and one thousand are not reconciled.

However, there is no need to say these words to Concubine Tian Shu.

A cold light flashed in Concubine Cao's eyes, and she made a tired look: "I'm very tired, and I really don't have the energy to gossip. Sister Tian should go back and rest too! I'll go to Cuiwei Palace to talk to you someday."

Concubine Tian Shu then left in dismay.

Concubine Cao was sitting alone in the dormitory, thinking about something, her eyes were fierce.

……

In the last few days, Emperor Long'an was in a daze, unable to eat any grains of rice, and relied on ginseng soup to continue his life.

The princes and grandchildren were all waiting in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, with sad faces and red eyes.This sadness is not faked.Emperor Long'an sat on the dragon chair for 40 years, and the dragon was magnificent. To all officials in the court, Emperor Long'an was a heroic son.For the princes and grandchildren, Emperor Long'an was the sky above them.

Now, this piece of sky is about to couch!

According to Emperor Long'an's will, when Emperor Long'an closed his eyes, they would be sent out of the capital to join the feudal clan.In my lifetime, I am afraid that it will be difficult to return to the capital.

King Qin, King Zhao, and King Han couldn't help crying when they thought of this.Not to mention the young grandchildren.

In the past few days, Zhu Yun has been guarding the side of the dragon couch.

Among the emperor's grandchildren, the emperor's grandfather loves him the most.

Now that Emperor Long'an was in the last scene, Zhu Yun felt sad, his eyes were red from crying.

The sad news of Emperor Long'an's imminent death has been kept from Empress Dowager Cao by everyone.

Empress Dowager Cao is very old and can't afford such a heavy blow.

Finally, Emperor Long'an survived to the last moment.His consciousness suddenly became clear, his face was obviously flushed, and his cloudy eyes also returned to clarity.

"Help me to sit up." Emperor Long'an ordered, Eunuch Shen replied with red eyes, and helped the emperor to sit up.

This is the flashback.

The prince knelt beside the dragon couch, feeling unbearable grief in his heart.

In fact, all the things that should be explained have already been explained.At the last scene of Emperor Long'an's deathbed, his eyes glanced over the weeping children and grandchildren one by one, and finally, they fell on the prince's face.

"You all get out," Emperor Long'an panted violently, and said, "I have something to say to the crown prince."

King Qin and the others felt dissatisfied, but they could not resist, so they could only retreat silently.Thick doors cut them off.

In the dormitory, there are only Emperor Long'an and the prince.Even Shen Gonggong and Wang Gonggong also withdrew.

"Prince, I'm leaving." Emperor Long'an looked at the heir he had chosen, and said slowly: "I have a few last words to tell you."

"With your shrewd ability, you can take on the heavy responsibility of the country. I will not misunderstand you."

"I only hope that after I die, King Qin, King Zhao, and King Han will be able to settle down honestly, and not fall into the situation where brothers turn against each other and fight each other."

The prince's whole body was shocked, he raised his eyes and looked at Emperor Long'an.

Emperor Long'an looked at the prince steadily, and said in a low and hoarse voice, "If the three of them really have rebellion, you must not soften your heart and suppress it in time. All things must be done with the country in mind."

No matter how important a son is, it is not as important as Jiangshan Sheji.

The prince trembled again, his eyes were red, and he kowtowed three times: "My father's words, I have written down everything."

Emperor Long'an on the dragon bed suddenly became short of breath and his chest heaved violently.

The prince was terrified, got up and rushed to the side of the couch: "Father! Father!"

Emperor Long'an was like a burnt candle, the light in his eyes gradually went out: "Prince, remember, save their lives...they are your brothers, you spare their lives..."

The prince made a poisonous oath with tears streaming down his face: "I swear to the heavens. No matter when, no matter what mistakes my brothers make, I will save their lives! If you break this oath, you will be punished by heaven!" "

Emperor Long'an let out a long sigh, and slowly closed his eyes.

The emperor of Daqi died here.

The prince endured his grief, got up and opened the door of the dormitory, and said to everyone: "Father...has passed away!"

Suddenly, there was a sound of mourning.

King Qin rushed into the dormitory first, and King Zhao also rushed in, crying loudly.

The prince was immersed in grief, and his reaction was much slower than usual.

Eunuch Yang hurriedly stepped forward to support his master: "Your Highness, hold on."

The emperor closed his eyes, there are still a lot of things to do.Ringing the death knell, arranging the funeral, all officials entering the palace to kneel down, these follow-up matters are up to the prince to make up his mind.

The prince nodded numbly.

Ever since Emperor Long'an became seriously ill, he had been vaguely looking forward to this day.No matter how stable the position of the prince is, it is not as good as ascending the throne as the emperor.Only by sitting on the dragon chair can one rule the world.

This moment has really come.He suddenly realized that from now on, no one would support him.Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, the people of Li and the common people, this great burden is firmly on his shoulders.

His father just passed away.

The unspeakable grief weighed on his heart like a boulder, making him unable to breathe, and even unable to stand upright.

"Your Highness!" Eunuch Yang exclaimed.

Another young and vigorous figure stepped forward one step faster, and quickly reached out to support him: "Your Highness, be careful!"

This young and familiar voice is Shen You.

Shen You's hands were firm and strong, firmly supporting the prince.There was concern in those black eyes.

The prince took a deep breath and nodded slightly: "Don't worry, I can hold on!"

Shen You didn't make another sound, and only quietly withdrew his hand after the prince stood still.
