I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Chapter 211 I became a loner...
Empress Dowager Dou was anxious, restless, and obviously urging her questioning, which only made the man kneel down on the ground wanting to cry without tears.

And beside Empress Dowager Dou, Tianzi Qi and Dou Ying, almost when they saw that person's face, their expressions became tense!
—— Dou Pengzu!

Among the contemporary nephews of Dou's relatives, he is second only to Dou Ying!

Nanpihou who passed away at the beginning of this year: the son of Dou Changjun, the contemporary Nanpihou - Dou Pengzu!

As for Tian Ziqi and Dou Ying, why Qiqi's face changed because of Dou Pengzu's appearance, of course it was not because of Dou Pengzu himself.

But from the questioning of Dou Pengzu by Empress Dowager Dou just now, and Dou Pengzu's expression of wanting to cry without tears, the two monarchs and ministers vaguely understood what was going on.

As a result, no one noticed that the moment Dou Pengzu appeared, Liu Xun, who was quietly sitting beside the Empress Dowager Dou, lowered his head with dodge eyes...
"Report, report to the Queen Mother!"

"King Liang!"

"King Liang..."

Stared anxiously by Empress Dowager Dou Pengzu, the Marquis of Nanpi, who was less than [-] years old, was already crying out of breath after only a few words.

Such an attitude only provoked Empress Dowager Dou's figure to vibrate, and then her eyes turned red.

"My son..."

"My son..."

The two trembling "my son" also made the emperor Qi and Dou Ying behind Empress Dowager Dou anxious;
Turning sideways, seeing the eagerness on the emperor's face, Dou Ying also hurried forward, holding Dou Pengzu's wrist tightly.

"Where's King Liang?!"

"What's going on, tell me clearly!!"

Frightened by Dou Ying's deep voice, Dou Pengzu, who was crying, stopped crying abruptly.

Awakened by the dull pain from the wrist again, he turned around like a dream, and kowtowed heavily to Empress Dowager Dou.

"Chen, Chen went to Hangu Pass according to the Queen Mother's order;"

"Four days ago, I finally got King Liang's car."

"But within the car..."

"—Within the car, there is no sign of King Liang at all!"

"King Liang!"

"—King Liang! Gone~~~"

"Woo~~~ woo woo woo woo..."

"Chen, I'm sorry, Queen Mother~~~"

"minister!"

"I failed the queen mother's entrustment~~~"

"—Wow~~~ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."

···
In the middle of the hall, Dou Pengzu exhausted all his strength to say these words, then collapsed on the ground as if exhausted, and burst into tears.

But beside Dou Pengzu and behind Dou Dowager, Tianzi Qi and Dou Ying breathed a sigh of relief.

huh~~~~~~
The two long shouts that sounded at the same time finally made Empress Dowager Dou recover from her astonishment;
Blinking subconsciously, he hurriedly took two steps forward, and instinctively greeted the left and right: "Go, go find it!"

"Go get my son!"

"Take my son..."

The two murmurs that completely obeyed the instinct drifted away quietly following the sudden froze face of Empress Dowager Dou.

I saw Mrs. Dou froze on the spot with astonishment, and turned around very, very slowly;
The eyes that were dim and unfocused, but already filled with tears, were fixed on the blurry figure in front of him.

"Is it the emperor?"

"Emperor, killed my son?"

"—Emperor! Kill my son!!!"

kill my son!

my son!
···
···
······
An extremely shrill and extremely angry roar echoed in the Changxin Hall for a long time;
The entire known world seemed to be plunged into complete silence by Queen Dowager Dou's roar.

Even the palace people walking on the palace road outside the Changxin Hall couldn't help but stop because of this roar.

It's been a long time, a long time...

pat!

A clear sound of the wooden pole falling to the ground fluctuated the frozen time again, and also brought the emperor Qi, who was stunned on the imperial couch in Changxin Hall, back to his senses.

Only five steps away, the most honorable woman in the world is staring with anger, her face is distorted, but she has already burst into tears;

And the dove stick that fell to the ground, like a hammer hanging in the bell room, smashed hard on Tianzi Qi's heart!
pain.

Unforgettable pain.

"Uh······"

"Uh..."

Tried to speak, but could only squirm his lips, making these two figures;
He raised his hand to cover his chest, but he still couldn't relieve the suffocating pain even for a moment.

"Mother, Empress..."

···
"His Majesty!"

"His Majesty!!"

A moment later, Tianzi Qi, who was covering his chest with his hand, just fell lightly on the couch.

Seeing this, Chuntuo hurried forward, checking Tianzi Qi's condition, while crying forcefully with tears in his eyes: "Emperor doctor!"

"Go and find the imperial physician!"

"Your Majesty~~~"

"His Majesty······"

Several cries mixed with crying in succession finally relieved the stupefied crowd;

The palace people hurriedly walked out of the Changxin Hall, like a race, and ran towards the imperial physician's office.

Dou Ying and Dou Pengzu looked at each other for a while, then ran up the imperial steps from the center of the hall tacitly.

—— Dou Ying stood beside the Empress Dowager Dou, ready to support the Empress Dowager Dou who might be 'unsteady' without a dove stick to lean on;
As for Nanpi Hou Dou Pengzu, he didn't even care about the tears streaming down his face, he wiped his hands casually on his chest, and quickly knelt down in front of the imperial couch.

With a dignified expression, he stretched out his hand, quickly checked the pulse for Tianzi Qi, stood up again, cooperated with Chuntuo, and supported Tianzi Qiping to lie on the imperial couch.

After taking a long breath, he finally turned around and bowed to Queen Mother Dou.

"King Liang, it's not necessarily an accident that just disappeared."

"—The minister also asked Liang Guoxiang Xuan Qiubao who was driving around, as well as the accompanying officials and soldiers."

"Although no one told me where King Liang went, I didn't see any sadness on their faces."

"Thinking about it, even if King Liang disappears temporarily, there will be no accidents."

···
"On the contrary, His Majesty, he has been overworked recently, and today he became angry again and again..."

"—The Queen Mother, please go to the apse to rest first."

"When the imperial physicians come over, you may need to give your Majesty injections and bloodletting..."

It was obviously a bit serious, but at the same time there was no lack of respectful words, but it did not make Empress Dowager Dou recover from the long stunned.

Just standing in place with a look of astonishment on his face, his eyes glazed over, looking at the painful emperor Qi who was already lying on the imperial couch, and let his tears flow back into a river...
"My son..."

"My son..."

Two murmurs with tears in their eyes, only made Dou Ying beside him and Dou Pengzu in front of him feel pain!
But she couldn't hear at all: Which son is it that Empress Dowager Dou cares about and worries about.

After about half a stick of incense, several old imperial doctors carrying medicine boxes finally came to the imperial couch in Changxin Hall, panting heavily.

Without caring about adjusting his breathing, he tacitly surrounded the imperial couch and started working with a clear division of labor.

——The Imperial Physician Order took the pulse, the Imperial Physician Cheng turned on the lamp, and the other two elders, who were younger but also over fifty, quickly took out the needle pack from the medical box, and spread the needle pack on the side of Emperor Qi , a position within reach of the Imperial Physician Order.

Seeing that the imperial physician Ling stretched out his hand, he tremblingly supported Tian Ziqi's wrist, muttering "Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm" to feel the pulse of Tian Ziqi.

Standing up again, with the light on, he looked at Tianziqi's pupils and scorched tongue coating.

With an idea in mind, he took the pulse again rigorously, and the imperial doctor took a deep breath, and then he breathed a sigh of relief...
"Your Majesty, I'm too tired..."

"There is no distinction between day and night, irregular meals, and obviously some physical and mental exhaustion, which made His Majesty's body already in a very bad state."

"Such a bad situation, coupled with the recent few days, several times of anger..."

Saying so, the old doctor took another deep breath and finally adjusted his breathing;

After greeting the apprentice who was over fifty years old beside him, he rolled up the needle bag at hand and put it away before the old doctor turned around.

Seeing that the situation was not quite right, he habitually cast his eyes on the pottery master Liu Xing.

"The old man will go back and make a soup for His Majesty."

"Your Majesty, please ask the princess to take care of these things. Don't let your majesty get angry again. Today and tomorrow, I will definitely not review files day and night..."

After the old doctor explained, Liu Xun nodded with mixed feelings, obviously he had something on his mind or was struggling with something.

But the old doctor couldn't control so much, he just winked at the rest of the people, and then walked out of the hall with slow steps, three steps and one panting.

On the imperial couch, Emperor Qi frowned and closed his eyes;
Although her breathing had calmed down, the hand with bulging veins was still tightly pinching her left chest.

Five steps away, Empress Dowager Dou stood there dumbfounded, with tears all over her face, and her lips trembling uncontrollably.

As for Wei Qihou, Dou Ying, and Nanpihou, Dou Pengzu, they stood beside Empress Dowager Dou, one on the left and one on the right, as if they wanted to say something, but they really didn't know how to say it.

Such silence lasted for a long time.

In the huge Changxin Hall, only the inner side of the imperial couch could be heard. The eunuch Ling Chuntuo was obviously already lowering his voice, but he couldn't stop crying softly.

Until this time, Liu Xing, the princess of Guantao who had always had a strange face, finally couldn't stand it anymore, and walked forward full of entanglements.

Sit down beside Tianzi Qi, then leaned down with the upper body, and whispered twice;
Waiting for Liu Xing to straighten up with guilt on his face, then bowed his head and walked to the side, only to see Tianzi Qi on the imperial couch, coughing and laughing bitterly...

"My queen..."

"Mother..."

"—Mother, there are three children~"

"The queen mother has two sons..."

"In the eyes of the queen mother, why can't she tolerate me alone?"

···
"It's me who serves and fulfills filial piety by the mother's side..."

"It's me who made the queen mother the queen mother and lived in this Changle Palace..."

"It's me······"

"it's me······"

···
Suffering so much and whispering full of sorrow, everyone in the hall bowed their heads in sorrow.

Dou Ying and Dou Pengzu also had red eyes.

As for the 'culprit' of this accident—Liu Xing, he bowed his head full of shame and wiped away his tears.

"Uh, uh..."

A strenuous moan only made Dou Ying, Dou Pengzu, Liu Xing, and Chun Tuo anxious!
"His Majesty!"

"His Majesty!"

"—Your Majesty, Your Majesty, slow down..."

I saw that Tianzi Qi sat up from the couch with great effort, with the support of the old loyal slave Chuntuo, regardless of everyone's obstruction.

Then he gritted his teeth hard and suppressed the thorn in his chest. Finally, Emperor Qicai smiled wryly and looked at his mother, Dou Shi, who was still standing five steps away.

"When the mother gave birth to Ah Wu, the son was only four years old."

"The mother just gave birth, and the face was still covered with sweat, so she didn't forget to point to the baby in the swaddle and said: This is your brother;"

"In the future, let your brother go."

"My son said at the time: good."

"My son said: No matter what it is, it is for eating, drinking, playing, or using;"

"——As long as the minister has it, give it to my younger brother."

"In the end, it was the ancestral temple and the community left by the ancestors that the queen mother asked her son to give to her younger brother..."

···
"My son was only eight years old when he became the prince."

"The emperor's grandmother's canonized edict has not yet been issued, and the queen mother pointed at A Wu again and said: Remember, this is your brother who is connected by blood and has the same mother as a compatriot;"

"In the future, I will protect my brother."

"My son said at the time: good."

"My son said: No matter what Ah Wu did, whether he killed someone or set fire to it;"

"—As long as the minister is still alive, he will definitely protect the younger brother."

"In the end, the queen mother asked my son to forgive him for assassinating Jiuqing..."

···
"My son, he inherited the throne at the age of 31, and the chaos of the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu was settled at the age of 34."

"Erchen's ninth son, the queen mother's favorite young grandson: A Sheng, is also 13 years old."

"The son-in-law said to his mother: Ah Sheng should be the crown prince, and his mother, Jia Ji, should be the queen."

"The queen mother said: good."

"The queen mother said: As long as Ah Sheng is the crown prince, then the queen mother will definitely support her grandson to sit on the position of the prince left by the minister."

"—The queen mother said that as long as it is Ah Sheng, she will never mention it to King Liliang again!"

"Never mention it again!!!"

···
"now what?"

"Hey!"

"hey-hey······"

"Third brother, lost..."

"—Mother's heart is full of thoughts, the Liang Wang Liu Wu who is afraid of melting in her mouth and afraid of falling in her hands, hides in her sister's house because she is afraid of the crimes she has committed!"

"But the queen mother didn't even ask, she just pointed at her son and said: Emperor, killed my son?"

"Emperor, kill my son..."

···
"Mother, how ungrateful..."

"—Queen Mother, how ungrateful!"

"Queen, why is the King of Liang so generous to me?!"

···
"Could it be that Erchen didn't call himself 'Erchen' in front of the Queen Mother?"

"I'm still a son, I didn't call my mother's queen: what about my mother's queen..."

full of misery, and full of sorrow;
Sometimes bitter, sometimes angry;
The extremely resentful and helpless words finally made the Empress Dowager Dou, who was standing still in place, finally have some signs of 'soul returning to her place'.

But at this moment, Emperor Qi, his heart is ashamed...
"Chun Tuo~"

"Go get that..."

As soon as the words pretending to be casual came out of his mouth, Tianzi Qi found that his tone of voice had already brought a crying tone.

The tears that never got out of control wet that tired face covered with vicissitudes without knowing when.

He lowered his head with a wry smile, then raised his sleeves casually, wiping away the tears on his face.

When he raised his head again, Tianzi Qi's face was filled with a sympathetic and miserable smile...
"Go to the eldest princess's mansion and invite King Liang into the palace."

"—quickly;"

"If you don't see King Liang again, the Queen Mother, you will blame me again and kill the Queen Mother's son..."

"The only son..."

"Hey;"

"hey-hey······"

It seemed to be joking, but with a self-deprecating smile, Tianzi Qi turned his head.

There was also the same misery in the eyes looking at Liu Xun.

"Even my sister can't trust me..."

"Does it mean that if you become the emperor, you will no longer be able to have a family?"

"Is it true that as long as you become the emperor, you will no longer be trusted by your close relatives, and even such a small matter must be kept secret?"

"—Aqi..."

Stared at by Tianzi Qi's mournful gaze, and stung by the words of cruelty, Liu Xun could only raise his head with tears in his eyes.

Ah Qi;

The last time Tianzi Qi heard this title was four years ago.

At that time, the late emperor was still there;
At that time, everything was still...

"My son, I'm tired..."

"Tired..."

"It is the emperor, the son, the younger brother, and the older brother;"

"My son, I really can't stand it..."

With tears in his eyes and laughing, Tianzi Qi finally lowered his head, put his hands on his sides, and stood up vigorously from the couch.

With Chuntuo's support, he took two steps forward, swayed for a while before stabilizing his figure, and then with tears in his eyes and a smile on his face, he bowed deeply to Queen Dowager Dou.

"My son, take your leave..."

"My son, don't disturb the queen mother, and reunite with my only son..."

"I just hope that the queen mother will not only care about the relationship between the mother and the child, but forget the duties of the queen mother..."

"—Earlier, the courtiers and officials have asked for the crown prince three times."

"This fourth please..."

···
"Hey;"

"The fourth invitation, let the son come..."

As he spoke, Tian Ziqi smiled wryly, wept, and sucked his nose again;
Then, in front of the dozens of people in the hall, he knelt down in front of Empress Dowager Dou with a 'plop'.

"Emperor Liu Qi, see the Queen Mother!"

"I wish the Empress Dowager the best of luck and happiness forever!"

"——Emperor minister Liu Qi, bow your head and bow your head!"

"I implore the queen mother to establish the prince early!!!"

"Yi'an! Jongmyo!!!!!!"

The resounding sound of paying homage caused everyone in the hall to lower their heads one after another, trying to hide their tears at an angle that only they could see;

Beside the imperial couch, Liu Xun was so out of breath from crying that he held on to the low wooden railing of the couch so that he didn't slump on the ground.

And in front of the imperial couch, Emperor Qi only bent down resolutely, and kowtowed heavily to his mother in front of him!

Then, he got up slowly, supported by Chuntuo, and walked towards the outside of the hall step by step...
Seeing the back of Tian Ziqi when he left, Dou Ying and Dou Pengzu felt hazy for a while;
Only Empress Dou, because her thoughts were scattered, did not notice that when Tian Ziqi left, her hand was still on Jiutong's left chest;
He didn't even notice the last two whispers left by Tian Ziqi before he left.

"Mother, did not lose her son..."

"It's me, I lost my mother..."

"—I, without my parents..."

···
"Hey;"

"I, became an orphan."

"I have become what my father said, the real lonely family..."

"—Lonely, widowed..."
