Chapter 998 Epilogue: The End of the Empire (1)
When Qiu Yebai heard the words, she also felt that it made sense, so she nodded: "Okay."

As she said that, she looked at Feng Xiuyun and the two crane guards who were disguised as Habayashi guards behind her: "Let's go, finish the job early."

The crowd continued to go to the Qiu Mansion, and ignored the beggar who knelt on the ground and kowtowed, calling him a living Bodhisattva.

Seeing that Feng Xiuning was about to leave, Qiu Shanning trembled like leaves falling in the wind, shouting hysterically, "cluck, cluck, cluck...", but the voice was so thin that it was almost impossible for people to distinguish the countless Pain, wailing and despair.

mother...

Mother don't go!
I am Shanning, I am your daughter, help me!

help me!
It's just that no one responded, she could only watch Qiu Yebai, Feng Xiuyun and others disappear around the corner, full of despair.

"Okay, what are you looking at, let's hurry back to our house!" The middle-aged beggar looked around, and immediately called the young beggar to move Qiu Shanning back to a house not far from them.

This mansion also looks quite delicate, it was originally the residence of an official, but the official fled Shangjing with his family before the city was closed, left this mansion vacant, and was taken over by the two beggars.

As soon as they closed the door, they casually dragged Qiu Shanning out and threw them on the couch in the yard, then turned around and immediately went to open the bag in their hands to find food.

"Hahaha, I haven't met such a generous master for a long time, Dad!" The boy with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks held a sesame seed cake and gnawed the crumbs all over his face, relishing it.

The middle-aged beggar finished eating the pancakes in a few bites, took a few mouthfuls of well water to drink, took a pancake and walked towards the woman lying on the couch who could not move, his eyes fell on her crooked stomach, he smiled and stretched out Pulled out a broken pillow from her stomach and threw it on the ground, then tore it off Qiu Shanning said with a smile, "I'll eat cakes for you when I'm done."

Qiu Shanning shed tears of pain and looked at the sky numbly.

hehehe...

The cold palace has long lost the brilliance and splendor of the glorious period of the empire. The gorgeous green glazed tiles have been covered with a thick layer of gray snow.

Baili Chuze stood in front of the Tai Chi Hall, quietly looking at the huge palace in front of him, which symbolizes the residence of the highest authority in the empire. A black shadow was drawn out by the setting sun, like an old giant beast entrenched on the ground and looking up at the sky .

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and walked towards the Tai Chi Hall.

The palace people who happened to pass by, seeing the Habayashi guard armor on his body, immediately backed away without saying a word.

"Cough cough... cough cough..."

Just as he reached the door of the inner hall, he heard low coughing sounds, which were hoarse and unpleasant.

An old eunuch was boiling tea outside the palace gate. I don't know if it was because he was too tired. He closed his eyes and dozed off bit by bit. The gate of the palace was wide open. If anyone wants to kill the emperor of the empire at this time It couldn't be easier.

He glanced at the tea that the old eunuch was boiling, then picked it up and headed towards the inner hall.

Although the inner hall looked tidy, the tables, chairs and desks were covered with a thin layer of dust. It can be seen that the situation of the emperor of the empire, like this empire, has come to... doomsday.

He seemed to hear someone coming in, and the cold wind poured in, causing Emperor Shun, who was curled up on the bed, to whisper: "Old Tu, I don't want to... cough cough... I'm drinking that bitter tea, just change it to a glass of white water."

He raised his eyebrows, poured a cup of tea and handed it over, said indifferently: "There is no other water here, just drink it as it is."

Emperor Shun's withered hand, which was habitually stretched out to catch the teacup, froze in mid-air when his voice sounded. After a while, he slowly raised his head, looking in the direction of the voice in disbelief, trembling With a voice: "Ze'er...Ze'er...is that you?"

Baili Chuze tore off the mask, glanced at the Eight Immortals chair that was stained with a lot of dust, and simply walked to the window, pulled off all the dusty soft backs and cushions on the soft couch, and just sat down. On the couch, he stretched his long legs and said indifferently: "Long time no see, father is here all right."

"Ze'er..." Emperor Shun's eyes were no longer visible, and his two gray eyeballs were staring straight at the direction of Baili Chuze, his face full of excitement: "Ze'er, you have forgiven father!" Did you come to save Shangjing, did you stop losing your temper, did you..."

He finally waited for his savior.

Seeing his excited appearance, Baili Chuze suddenly sneered: "Hehe...Father, you will always only see what you want to see as always, and expect others to always follow your path."

He paused, then picked up a delicate jade seal to play with: "It's just that you are no longer His Majesty the Emperor, or maybe you have always been full of enthusiasm, but you have never had enough strength and brains to sit here. In terms of position, even my grandmother is more capable than you."

Hearing Baili Chuze's words, Emperor Shun's hope, which was originally raised up, was poured down like cold water, and it was mostly cold at once, and it took a long time before he smiled softly: "Haha...Ze'er, you You are right, I am incompetent, my greatest achievement may be to hand over the country to you, and my biggest failure is to hand over the country to you.”

At this moment, he suddenly realized his own mistakes very clearly - if the country is in the hands of the Du family, at least Baili will sit on the throne, at least between him and the next generation, this Tianji may still be Tianji, Guozuo will not be destroyed in their own hands.

"As early as when you filled my room with one hundred and eight heads, I should have known... I should have known that you hated me to the core, hated all living beings in this world, and I chose you alone." A capable destroyer might as well choose a greedy guardian like the Du family, I...in the end...in the end I was wrong...wrong." Emperor Shun closed his eyes, smiled, and shed two old lines. tears.

Baili Chu looked at him, and suddenly chuckled: "It seems that you are not hopelessly stupid, but don't you think it's too late to say this?"

He paused, and slowly put the jade seal in his hand back on the table: "In your eyes, no one or anything is more important than your country, whether it is a subject or a relative."

"The people are the most important, the king is the least!" Emperor Shun said angrily, his chapped lips trembled, although his voice was hoarse, but he stopped coughing when he was excited.

A mocking and indifferent smile appeared in Bailichu's silver eyes: "The people are more important than the king. No, Father, in your heart, power is the most important thing. Why use the people as a shield to be so hypocritical?" .”

All these years, he kept saying that he was for the country and the people, what did he do, natural disasters and man-made disasters, besides hiding, other than blindly pretending to be ill, he was self-willed, extremely suspicious, and mistrusted traitors, until the last patience he gave him was exhausted .
