The fifth wife wants to escape marriage: marry the princess

Chapter 146 The Emperor's Death 2
Wushuang hurriedly knelt and crawled to the emperor's bedside, and said indiscriminately, "Your Majesty, please..."

"Listen to me!" The emperor interrupted her suddenly.

Wushuang was taken aback.

The emperor said, "Xiao Junyi is a general, if he died in the northwest without the ability to defeat the enemy, that would be his fate too, I..."

"Does the emperor care whether he lives or dies?"

"I can't control it anymore." The emperor coughed lightly, his brows dimmed.

Wushuang also followed his words, and his heart sank to the bottom.Even the emperor can't control it?Then this world, this country...

The queen mother never left, and the emperor didn't let her evade, but just held Wushuang's hand tremblingly, "Back then... I was wrong..."

What's wrong?What's wrong?
Wushuang didn't understand, the emperor's eyes were clouded, "I shouldn't have separated you and Xiao Junyi, I shouldn't have angered Concubine Lan, I was wrong, I...cough...cough..."

Before the emperor could finish his sentence, he coughed violently again. A eunuch tried to comfort the emperor, but he pushed it away irritably, "I'm fine, get out of here!"

The eunuch backed away tremblingly, Wushuang looked at the dying emperor, felt like being tortured every time he heard a word from him, seeing his complexion getting worse and his voice getting quieter, she was really nervous and scared!
"Wu Shuang..." the emperor called her, but Wu Shuang couldn't hear the words behind her, so she couldn't help leaning closer, and vaguely heard the emperor's soft voice saying, "Tell him... I don't have the courage to admit it, I'm sorry for him... Please, please forgive me ..."

"Him?" Wushuang didn't know who it was, guessed, "Xiao Junyi?"

The emperor nodded heavily, and his face became more sad, as if Xiao Junyi's unforgiveness would make him regret for life.Wushuang was anxious, "But if the emperor doesn't save him, then..."

"Life and death are fate..." The emperor dismissed Wushuang with these few words, and waved her to retreat, Wushuang was confused, did she come here just to let her pass on a message to Xiao Junyi?What forgiveness, what confession?She doesn't understand.

"Your Majesty, do you want Concubine Lan to come?" Wu Shuang asked softly, always feeling that the atmosphere in Yugan Palace was weird, and worried about the Emperor even more.

"Seeing each other is worse than not seeing each other. The way is that there is no sunshine but there is sunshine..." the emperor murmured, and finally shook his head, "I'm gone, I'm afraid I'm even more worried when I see her. She wanted to escape from me all her life, but now, she just wants to escape." Let her wish come true, Queen Mother..."

The emperor called the queen mother, "After my death..."

"What nonsense did the emperor say, you are the emperor of the real dragon, so you can't die." The queen mother reprimanded slightly.

The emperor shook his head, "I beg my mother to promise my son, never make things difficult for Concubine Lan."

The Queen Mother remained silent, as if she did not agree.

The emperor said, "Is it not enough for you to kill Ah Jiu, and now you don't even grant my last wish?"

"Ajiu's matter has nothing to do with Aijia."

"Queen mother, others don't understand you, don't you think my son doesn't understand you either?" The emperor's muddy eyes have a keen insight into everything. Ever since she married Concubine Lan into the palace, the queen mother has been dissatisfied in every possible way. with a child.Although it seemed that they had compromised later, they secretly sent someone to assassinate Ah Jiu, making Concubine Lan hate him and completely breaking up between them.If nothing happened to Ah Jiu, maybe, maybe he, Lan Fei and Ah Jiu would be the happiest family.

Unfortunately, life has no ifs.

In order to vent his dissatisfaction with the Empress Dowager, he ignored her niece, refused to favor Concubine Shu, and even ignored the Fifth Prince Xiao Xuanyu.He hated the domineering appearance of the queen mother in charge of everything, but he could not forget that the queen mother contributed a lot to securing him to the throne.

This is their complex love-hate relationship between mother and child.

After a long time, the queen mother nodded, agreeing.

The emperor said, "With the crown prince as a witness, the queen mother must not break her promise."

Only then did the Queen Mother and Wushuang realize that Xiao Xuanyu had been in the room all along, but was blocked by the screen just now, so they didn't see it.

Knowing that what happened back then was done by the Empress Dowager, there was no anger on Xiao Xuanyu's face, everything was extremely calm, even a little scary.

I have been in the deep palace for a long time, what have I not experienced?Now that Ah Jiu has been dead for so many years, how did he die, who killed him, what's the point?
"After I go, you let Concubine Lan out of the palace. If... Maybe I'm being too affectionate, if she doesn't want to go, you must treat her kindly..." Before leaving, the only thing he worried about was her. is her.

The queen mother didn't answer, but said, "The ministers are waiting outside. It's not a big deal to let the prince act as the head of the government. He is not the emperor. How can he be like this every day..."

The emperor knows what the empress dowager means, even if he is an emperor, when he is old, he will be unable to do what he wants.

He sighed, "I see, please ask the Queen Mother to let them in."

Upon hearing this, the queen mother got up and went out, the emperor in the room stretched out his hand, motioning for Xiao Xuanyu to come over.

Xiao Xuanyu also knelt beside the emperor's bed, holding the emperor's right hand, while Wushuang was on the left hand.

Wu Shuang never dreamed that when the emperor was critically ill, she and Xiao Xuanyu would be by his side.

"Xuanyu..." The emperor firmly held Xiao Xuanyu's hand, "You are still young, father wanted to train you for a few more years, but you are too impatient."

"Father, son..."

The emperor shook his head, "Don't say anything, I understand everything."

Xiao Xuanyu lowered his head and said nothing.

The emperor's tone was a little weak, and he said slowly, "Since ancient times, there has been no such thing as the best of both worlds. How can Jiangshan beauties have everything? As a king, be careful of the people. When you dedicate your body and mind to the people, where do you come from?" Give love to others? Do you still miss that girl Ah Jiu? It’s been so many years, I almost forgot, you forget too! In the future, I will marry a wife and have children to extend my royal heirs... The love of children is the most important thing, but it can’t be ruthless , I am a failed emperor, I am also a failed husband, perhaps, in your eyes, I am even a failed father, I am really ashamed..."

"No, father is the best in my son's heart."

"What's the best, just don't blame me. In the future, if you really want to, treat Concubine Lan leniently. After all, she is also Ah Jiu's biological mother. And Xiao Junyi, I owe him after all..."

"Father didn't owe him anything, and it wasn't his father's fault that his father died in battle. Why should you worry about it?"

The emperor closed his eyes dejectedly, he suddenly understood that all entrustments are in vain, everyone has their own destiny, how can he worry about it?What's more, regarding Xiao Junyi, he didn't know whether to tell Xiao Xuanyu to kill him or save him?

That's all, he can neither be a complete emperor nor a real father. He has been looking forward and backward all his life, trying to do everything in the end, and everyone will be hurt. All kinds of love and hate are intertwined. It is doomed that in this life, Some people are born to owe money.

If so, you can only say sorry, you can only beg for forgiveness.

Unfortunately, he couldn't wait for that day.

Soon, the Empress Dowager led the ministers in, and they knelt in front of the emperor respectfully, and the emperor signaled Wu Shuang and Xiao Xuanyu to go out.

When they walked out of Yugan Palace, it was already dusk, and the world was dark.

Wushuang looked back with some anxiety, originally wanted to look at Yugan Palace again, but saw Xiao Xuanyu's gloomy face.He didn't feel calm and calm, and he didn't have the joy of killing the alien party, only worry on his face.

It was the purest worry and uneasiness of a son towards his father.

The wind and rain changed drastically, everything came too fast, perhaps for Xiao Xuanyu, it also came too fast, he prepared for so long, but found that it was still not enough.

Wushuang couldn't understand his complicated mood, but it was rare to see him frowning like this, wanting to comfort him, but didn't know what to say.Standing in front of her, he was much taller than her, similar in stature to Xiao Junyi, Wushuang felt like a child in front of them, weak and short.

Finding that Wushuang was looking at him, Xiao Xuanyu raised his head, there was a thick lingering haze in his eyes, Wushuang didn't know what he was thinking, but he really didn't like looking at Xiao Xuanyu like this.In my memory, Xiao Xuanyu was always smiling and detached, but definitely not like this.

But it was just like this, which made her understand that Xiao Xuanyu was no more than an ordinary person, he would also have worries, fears, and all the emotions that ordinary people have.

But in the past, he hid everything in his heart, so out of reach.

He suddenly stepped forward and held Wushuang's hand without warning. Wushuang was startled, but it was frighteningly cold. She didn't struggle because of a strange coincidence, because he seemed so lonely and helpless at this moment.

He suddenly took two steps forward, getting closer to Wushuang, she retreated instinctively, but she was still embraced by him.

Everything seemed to be in a dream, her thinking and actions were a few beats slower, and when she reacted and wanted to push away, she heard him say, "Don't move, just a moment, a moment..."

His voice was very hoarse. Since the emperor fell ill, he took care of him with all his heart. Even when he became the crown prince, he never neglected him.He handled everything properly, including the government affairs and the emperor.

He will also be tired and helpless, but he has no one to talk to.Ah Jiu, whom he loves so much, is not there, and Wu Shuang, whom he likes, hates him. He doesn't know what to do if he becomes the emperor?
When everything was at his fingertips, he realized that this was not what he wanted the most, how ridiculous and ironic.

"Wushuang, why can Xiao Junyi have Xiangyun and you, why do I have nothing? I don't want to be alone, I don't want..." He suddenly became weak in front of her.

A woman's heart is soft after all. When a man or a prince shows weakness to her, her heart also softens. She can't push him away roughly, and can't refute him.

The emperor's words are correct, everyone has his own destiny, Xiao Xuanyu's being the prince or even the emperor is his destiny, and he is doomed to fight for life.And what is Xiao Junyi's fate?Wushuang can never guess his future.

Xiao Junyi has been away for two months now, and Xiangyun has also been away for a long time, and he should be almost in the northwest. Will Xiao Junyi's danger be resolved soon?
When can they come back?
Why, she was suddenly afraid of them coming back?Isn't it cruel to let them come back and see that things are wrong and others are proud?
Just after going in to meet the emperor, Wushuang already understood that the emperor's time is numbered, maybe not a few more days.He kept mentioning Xiao Junyi, did he still love Xiao Junyi in his heart?After all, he once honorably bestowed on Xiao Junyi the title of King of the North, and also made him a prince and his godson.
