In the palace.

When the female official came to report, Lian Qiansu was reviewing the memorial in the imperial study. When he heard the emperor's intention to wake up and let the prince ascend the throne, the memorial fell on the table.

"Your Majesty... Why did your majesty suddenly wake up? How could he make an order at this time?" Lian Qiansu was surprised. She clearly remembered that the emperor had been unconscious for a long time. Even if she woke up, she couldn't speak.

"It's said that... Old general Murong brought a miracle doctor into the palace and saved his majesty..." the female officer said timidly. After all, Lian Qiansu's temper is not easy to provoke.

"Hum! Murong... How could Murong appear at this time? Go and have a look with the palace." Lian Qiansu got up and walked out of the imperial study.

Today's Lian Qiansu can be said to cover the sky in the whole palace. He is wearing the most luxurious Phoenix robe. The bright red phoenix robe is embroidered with golden silk thread, and the skirt is winding like a blooming peony. Around her, there were a lot of maids and mammies, because everyone looked high and arrogant even with the identity and connivance of Qiansu.

When Lian Qiansu arrived at the emperor's bedroom with people, Ruisheng of Dongling and several important ministers in the palace knelt down one after another and touched their heads to the ground for a long time.

"My concubine, please see your majesty." Lian Qiansu went directly to the edge of the Dragon bed and worshipped Yingying. He ignored all the people present and smiled like flowers, as if some things had never happened before.

"From today on, I will no longer be the emperor. The queen is no longer the queen and has no right to be in charge of the government. Everything is handled by Ruisheng. Ruisheng is still young and has too little seniority, so he is assisted by the Assistant Minister Yang Zhengde." the emperor doesn't even look at it. He even glances at the officials coldly.

For a time, even Qiansu and the ministers were surprised. No one expected that the emperor would choose Yang Zhengde, the Minister of rites, as the assistant minister. This man is really an old minister and very upright. The main problem is that his official position is too small. How can a mere four grade official be competent for such an important position? In terms of status, I'm afraid that the three prime ministers of the Dongling state, Su Hongyuan, Lian Zhengdao and Li An, are really qualified to be. Although Murong family and Mu family are also old ministers, they can't consider it because they are military generals, but even so, Yang Zhengde can't turn!

"My son and Minister take the order." Ruisheng of Dongling sounded in a slightly childish voice, but he seemed extremely firm.

"I thank your majesty for your kindness. I will live up to your Majesty's entrustment!" Yang Zhengde burst into tears and knocked his head heavily on the ground.

All the old ministers, look at me and I look at you. There is doubt, shock and helplessness in their eyes... Now the emperor is like this. How can they have the face to oppose his last entrustment? Even if they have an opinion, they dare not mention it.

The whole bedroom was silent, leaving only the sound of breathing one after another, with a few sobs.

The emperor's eyes were old and tired, and his disease became more and more serious. He sighed deeply.

He is the emperor. Even though he has fallen down, he knows clearly in his heart. The only thing he can count on now is his little son. Even if he is not a legitimate son, he is at least the blood of the Dongling family. It is better for the throne to fall into his hands than to fall into the hands of outsiders... Now he only wants Dongling Qi to live, Ask him to save Dongling Ruisheng's life and the last bit of royal dignity

"All step back... I... Want to rest." the emperor said weakly, his voice getting lighter and lower, as if he would swallow his breath in the next sentence.

"Your Majesty..."

"Your Majesty, take care of the dragon body..."

"I'm leaving..."

Some ministers could not help but shed tears when they saw the emperor like this. Even though they fought for their positions and did not know how many bad things they had done, they had been accompanied by monarchs and ministers for decades, and they had some feelings anyway. Now the emperor has become like this. I'm afraid it's the last time to meet them. How can people not be sad?

However, the most sad thing is that those old civil servants who once ignored the emperor's face and impeached all kinds of impeachment, stubbornly dying one by one, but also incomparably heartfelt.

Yang Zhengde was one of them. He wiped the corners of his eyes and sobbed for a while. You can see that he was really sad. The treacherous ministers cried loudly, one by one, like their dead father, but there was no tear in their eyes.

"Get out!" hearing these cries, the emperor was so angry that he gave a loud roar with all his strength.

So, a cadre of Ministers resolutely rolled out, and it was called a flat.

The last ones left were Lian Qiansu, the four families, Yang Zhengde and the new emperor. They didn't go because they knew what else they needed.

That is, at this time, the little eunuch who drew up the imperial edict respectfully came to the emperor with the imperial edict, "Your Majesty, the imperial edict has been drawn up according to your instructions, and only the seal of the jade seal is needed." this kind of imperial edict must be seen by the Emperor himself, then sealed with the jade seal, and passed on to the new emperor, which is equivalent to a ceremony.

Lian Qiansu and several old ministers watched covetously. Especially Lian Qiansu, no one wanted to know the whereabouts of the jade seal more than she did.

The emperor opened his eyes and looked at the bed tent. Naturally, he knew what these people were trying to do... Did he really want to give a full account of his last life protection today?

"Your Majesty..." the little eunuch Bai Nen called softly with a faint worry on his face.

"Help me up." the emperor said with a wooden look.

The little eunuch put aside the edict, carefully lifted the emperor from his bed and let him sit down reluctantly.

"Ruisheng, come here." the emperor waved to his only son, with a rare loving smile on his face.

"Yes." Dongling Ruisheng got up from the ground and walked calmly to the bed. Although he was young, he was always a little earlier than ordinary people. There was a calm and deep color between his green eyebrows and eyes, which made people wonder whether he was a 13-year-old boy.

The emperor trembled and stretched out his hand to touch his head. However, this hand did not listen to orders and kept shaking.

Rui Sheng of Dongling lowered his head and closed his lips tightly. His eyes were as bright as obsidian and stubbornly stared at the golden mattress. Even if he had something to say, he was always unwilling to look up at the emperor.

"Raise your head..." the emperor said hoarsely.

Dongling Ruisheng slowly raised his head. There was no expression on his face, and there was no emotion in his eyes. Some were just indifferent.

The emperor looked at this face that was somewhat similar to himself, looked at him carefully, and finally... He sighed deeply... He hadn't seen him for many years, and the child... Was so old.

The emperor never thought that his throne would be passed on to the little son he didn't care about. After all, his mother was only an ordinary official lady, and she was not a high-ranking official lady. Because he didn't pay attention to it, he always ignored it. It is precisely because of his neglect that he finally left a son, the only son.

During his years as emperor, he gave birth to three daughters and five sons. When the three princesses got old, they all married far away. He never cared about the life or death of these daughters. He just took them as a tool to maintain peace between the two countries. Now none of them can stay with him. And now there is only one of his five proud sons

The fourth prince was seriously ill and died early. The third prince was unintentionally stabbed to death by crown prince Dongling Ruiyu because of his desire to win the line. There was also a second prince who suddenly disappeared for some reason. There was no news for many years. Later, only Dongling Ruiyu and Dongling Ruisheng were left with him. He gave all his energy to Dongling Ruiyu. He was the prince and his direct son. He should love him more. As for Dongling Ruisheng, before he was ten years old, he could count the times he met him with one hand. What should be ignored was still ignored. Because of this neglect, Dongling Ruiyu never thought that his brother would have an impact on his crown prince, which made him survive.

Who would have thought that Ruiyu of Dongling would suddenly die miserably in the dungeon, and finally become the emperor was the five princes who had never been valued, and naturally became the final winner.

"Sheng'er... These years... I ignored you..." the emperor's eyes still showed guilt after all.

"Father emperor's words are heavy." Dongling Ruisheng still looked light and indifferent.

The emperor looked at him like this, and his eyes gradually moistened. His heart was not without regret or pain, but there was no way to recover everything. He was dying soon. He could only stay in bed and breathe. He didn't know when he would die. He didn't do anything to make up for his mistakes.

However, the biggest mistake he made in his life was falling in love with a terrible woman, a woman who should not have appeared in the palace.

Lianqiansu.

Looking at the emperor's sad appearance, Ruisheng of Dongling moved slightly in his heart, grabbed his not old but some dry hands and put them on his head. He could feel the missing father's love for so many years, but he was not moved in his heart.

The emperor looked at him in surprise, his heart was moved, and his eyes were unconsciously red. At this moment, he realized how sad he was before

He smiled miserably, retracted his hand, trembled his hands, took down the white jade trigger in his hand, and then pulled Dongling Ruisheng's hand and put it into his palm.

Dongling Ruisheng took the trigger, looked down and found that the seemingly ordinary trigger was engraved with words, with clear and exquisite lines.

Oh... Who said that the jade seal must be huge and square?

Such an important thing, I believe that no matter who it is, they will take it with them, and the best way is to wear it where others will not doubt.

This trigger was brought by the emperor wherever he went. All the places on him were searched by thousands of elements, but only the trigger in his hand was missed. The ordinary appearance was forgotten after looking at it, and there would be no doubt at all.

After reacting, Ruisheng of Dongling suddenly looked up at the emperor with a shocked look in his eyes.

The emperor pulled the stiff corners of his mouth, with a sad color in his eyes, and his body fell back powerlessly
