Chapter 397 Last Wish
The luggage was all arranged, and four carriages were dispatched.

When parting, everyone was reluctant to leave and their eyes were quietly red.

Fang Lan pursed her lips and stared at Fang Xu beside the car. She tightened her grip on the curtain and remained silent for a while before whispering, "Xiao Xu, sister is gone."

Fang Xu raised the corners of his lips and nodded gently, "Have a safe journey."

Fang Lan's lips were slightly opened, her eyes were red, and after a moment she said, "You are safe too."

Peace is the best message.

The curtain was slowly lowered, and the carriage drove towards the city gate.

Looking at the back of the carriage, Lin Sheng bent his knees and knocked his head heavily on the ground.

"Slave Lin Sheng, I would like to send you the Queen Mother and several of my masters."

There was a strong nasal voice between the words.

In order to hide it from others, even the farewell was not dared to be said out loud.

In the next few days, Xie Li seemed to be very busy. He often left early and came back late. When he came back, his face looked tired and his back was bent a little from exhaustion.

People often come in and out of the Dongshi Courtyard, mostly female generals who came to visit Song Huixin.

After more than half a busy month, on an ordinary day, the tranquility of the capital was suddenly broken.

"lady!"

Ye Ming hurriedly rushed into the house, looking panicked. He didn't care about his steps. He almost tripped over the threshold and staggered several steps before he regained his balance. "There was news from the palace that during the morning court, the emperor vomited blood and was directly Fainted in the main hall!"

Fang Xu was stunned, and the fingertips holding the hairpin suddenly loosened, and he murmured, "This day has come..."

After finishing speaking, Fang Xu looked up at Su Zi beside him and whispered, "Have you done what I asked you to do?"

Su Zi straightened his expression and nodded heavily, "My servant ordered the small kitchen, added a lot of rice and noodles, bought a lot of fresh vegetables, and filled the shelves with medicinal materials."

"The tunnel has been carefully watched by Baiji, and now it has been dug. It is said to be repairing the Hou Mansion, and it does not arouse any suspicion. Once you enter the tunnel, you can go directly to the foot of the mountain on the outskirts of Beijing, which is very convenient."

"Have you informed the old lady and the others?"

Su Zi responded in a low voice, "Madam, don't worry, all the masters have told me, there won't be anything wrong."

Fang Xu breathed a sigh of relief, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, "By this time, the higher-ups should have taken action."

Su Zi paused and whispered, "Madam, the prince's side..."

Fang Xu slowly shook his head and said softly, "The emperor is ill, and there are also Mr. Zhuge and Shen Ji who are supervising the government. If he can't even go to court, he will definitely scare the snake. From now on, only Xie Li can enter and leave the house, and no one else can." No more leaving the house at will."

Su Zi nodded hastily and said in a low voice, "Yes, I will go and let you know right away."

The imperial doctor knelt on the ground, facing Yuan Chen on the bed, helpless.

Seeing the imperial physician Ling coming out from behind the screen, Shen Ji went up to greet him and whispered, "Emperor Zhao."

"Master Shen..." Dr. Zhao shook his head and let out a long sigh, "I have warned the emperor before... His body is already weak, but now I am afraid that medicine and stone have no effect."

Shen Ji frowned and said in a heavy tone, "Is there really nothing you can do?"

Doctor Zhao waved his hands repeatedly and said in a helpless tone, "Master Shen, in my position, I want the emperor's dragon body to be safe more than you do."

After seeing off Doctor Zhao, Shen Ji walked past the screen and came to the bed, carefully looking at the man above him.

After a lot of troubles, Yuan Chen woke up long ago. When he saw Shen Ji coming over, he raised the corners of his lips with great effort and whispered, "You're here...what, do you think I won't live long?" "Your Majesty, don't think nonsense. ." Shen Ji lowered his head slightly and looked away, unwilling to look at him.

"I know my body well." Yuan Chen looked at him with a smile on his lips and whispered, "Shen Qing... I made you suffer injustice before, it was my fault..."

Shen Ji's heart sank and he frowned slightly, as if he didn't want to continue this topic, "Your Majesty, minister..."

"Shen Qing, just let me tell you." Yuan Chen was in great spirits, and his face was not as pale as in the early morning. "I'm afraid if I don't speak out, I will go to the underworld with regrets."

Shen Ji lowered his head and remained silent.

"I still remember the day I first met you. You were sitting by the window in Fulin Restaurant, sipping tea in the calm breeze. It seemed that I was sure that I would come to you and make friends with you. Later, I listened to you talk about the past and the present. , I have benefited a lot and am determined to take you under my wing."

"You have supported me all the way and you have been so loyal. I will never forget it. It's a pity... people under power will blind their eyes and lose their judgment. I can't help you, and I can't help Xie Li. I wanted to make up for it. , but no chance..."

"Shen Qing, can I grant a marriage to you and Fang?"

Yuan Chen seemed to have opened up his chatterbox, talking non-stop, making random sentences here and there, which was illogical and very strange.

Shen Ji endured the astringency in his heart and understood why Yuan Chen suddenly became energetic and became interested in talking about the past.

It's just a flashback.

"Shen Qing." Yuan Chen looked at him with a smile and waved to him, "Come and sit down."

"Yes." Shen Ji sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes fell on his face, and he said warmly, "Your Majesty, please don't give up on yourself. Your auspicious person has his own destiny, and he will..."

"These are all lies that outsiders should say. Why should we do this between you and me?" Yuan Chen raised his hand and held his wrist. There was light in his eyes, "Shen Qing, I have a last wish that I want to... give to you. you……"

Shen Ji lowered his eyebrows and felt as if a huge stone was weighing on his heart, "Your Majesty, just say so. I will do my best."

"I hand over the unborn prince to you, hoping that you will help him grow up and become a king..." Yuan Chen seemed to have lost the strength, and his voice became smaller and smaller. He was afraid that he would refuse, and the hand holding his wrist was trembling. "You promise me..."

"You said... you said you wouldn't have any dissatisfaction with Jiangshan..."

Shen Ji suddenly froze and looked at him quietly.

Yuan Chen didn't notice his expression and still repeated what he said just now.

Shen Ji closed his eyes, and after a long while, he whispered back, "Your Majesty, you still don't trust me."

"Shen Qing..."

Yuan Chen exhausted all his strength and could no longer hear Shen Ji's words clearly, but he was still stubborn and stared at his lips with wide eyes.

Shen Ji pursed his thin lips and said lightly, "I have no interest in the country, I only want one person."

Yuan Chen stared intently at his mouth shape. When he saw his promise, the corner of his lips curled up into a smile. He slowly released his fingertips. Unable to hold on any longer, he tilted his head and lost consciousness.

Shen Ji's heart trembled, and he quickly went to check his breathing. When he noticed the weak air flow, Shen Ji felt relieved and murmured, "Fortunately..."

"Shen Ji!"

There was a sound outside the screen, Shen Ji looked sideways and saw Xie Li striding into the room.

Approaching the bed, Xie Li saw the sleeping Yuan Chen at a glance. He was stunned and asked with a frown, "Your Majesty..."

"I just fell asleep." Shen Ji didn't wait for him to finish speaking before he agreed.

Xie Li's eyebrows relaxed, he took a long breath and whispered, "The spies came to report that King Huai and Ping Wang colluded and rebelled in Songcheng."
