"Your Majesty—"

Empress Yuan's frightened voice rushed out of her throat, and at this moment, she saw that the blade of the sword stopped an inch on the sideburns of the envoy of He Yuan, and the screams were exchanged for a short silence, and in silence, a few hairs were neatly broken off with the friction of the blade and floated on the ground.

The next moment, several doctors rolled their eyelids in shock and fainted to the ground.

The killing intent in Emperor Jianheng's eyes had not yet retreated, and he was holding the long sword tightly in his hand, but he saw his most beloved grandson Ah Yi kneeling at his feet, holding his right hand holding the sword tightly, and that face was very similar to Ah Ji, which reminded him of those times in the past.

"If it were my father, I would definitely persuade my grandfather to take care of the dragon's body and keep people under the knife-"

A short sentence, a few words, but like a burning hot dagger, slammed into Emperor Jianheng's cold and hard heart at that moment, obviously painful, but carrying the warmth of memories, making him miserable.

The next moment, Emperor Jianheng's figure swayed slightly, staggered, and as soon as his hand was loosened, the long sword fell in response, pulling everyone back from the ghost gate.

At this moment, Emperor Jianheng raised his head suddenly, closed his eyes desolately, and the two lines of tears could no longer be suppressed, but they were hot in Xiao Yi's heart.

As a parent, there is nothing more painful than a white-haired person sending a black-haired person.

Even if he Xiao Jigui is the Son of Heaven, he can't save his son.

Is it because he has killed too much in his life, and God has brought all retribution to this son he loves the most?

Then why didn't it fall directly on him, he would rather die for Ah Ji than -

I don't want to—

The more he thought about it, the more Emperor Jianheng felt that his chest was stagnant, and a fishy sweetness could not go up and down in his throat.

Seeing his grandfather's body shaking, Xiao Yi hurriedly stood up and held on, but at this moment, he heard someone crying with joy: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is awake, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is awake-"

Almost instantly, the room full of people turned their eyes to the sickbed, and the prince Xiao Ji, who had always been weak and had no complexion, had a rare appearance at the moment, and seemed to be in good spirits like ordinary people, but his lips were slightly pale.

"Father—"

Hearing this call, Emperor Jianheng was almost in tears, and immediately stepped forward by Xiao Yi, and grabbed Xiao Yi's left hand.

"Ah Ji, I'm going to let someone issue a notice, ask the world's famous doctors to treat you, you will be fine, you will definitely be-"

Hearing this, Xiao Ji smiled reluctantly, and the rare ease in his chest made him understand that he was just returning to the light at this moment.

In the eyes of others, his father is a king who is unpredictable and unangry, but in his eyes, he has always been the loving father who will hold him and sit on his lap and teach him to read, read and write.

I don't know when I have never dared to fight with the sky, and my father who has fought for his life is also old, looking at the old man in front of him with white temples and red eyes and no words, Xiao Ji's heart is faintly painful.

"The son is not filial, he failed to serve his father and his father's knees, but he asked his father and mother to worry about his son for decades——"

The man's gentle and hoarse voice was like a pair of hands, soothing everyone's heart, Emperor Jianheng couldn't help but tighten his hand slightly, but saw Xiao Ji looking sideways at the side with a heavy face, but it was a son who suppressed himself and said, "Ah Yi." ”

Xiao Yi immediately stepped forward when he heard the sound, only to see his father stretch out his right hand with difficulty, and hurriedly held the hands with both hands, and then saw that his father looked relieved, and said with hope and trust in his eyes: "In the future, you will replace me, so that I can be filial to my grandfather and grandmother——"

Emperor Jianheng's heart ached when he heard this, but he couldn't speak, Xiao Yi nodded silently when he heard this, and tried to suppress the trembling in his words: "Son, keep in mind your father's words." ”

"Okay—"

Xiao Ji was relieved, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and then he took a deep breath with difficulty, and when he turned to see the dignified and steady woman behind Xiao Yi, as well as the lovely pair of grandchildren and granddaughters in the woman's hand, he couldn't hide his relief and said, "Ah Jiu—"

"Erchen is here. ”

Hearing this call, Gu Yanling couldn't help but feel slightly cold with her hands, and knelt beside Xiao Yi with Xiao Wei and An Le, and saw a pair of grandchildren looking at her with tears in her eyes, Xiao Ji was reluctant in her eyes, but finally looked at the daughter-in-law in front of her and said, "In the future, I want you to accompany A Yi away——"

In a word, it seems to be the warmest instruction for the father, and it seems to be the most serious entrustment.

On the last day, the relatives around you will eventually leave one by one, and the only ones who can rely on each other are husband and wife, and at that time, each other will be crutches to support each other.

Gu Yanling was moved by this sentence, looked up, looked at Xiao Ji's loving gaze, and carried the long-lost solemnity and firmness in his words, word by word, falling into everyone's ears.

"The daughter-in-law will definitely go hand in hand with Ah Yi to the end, and she will never let her father down——"

At that moment, Xiao Yi's hand moved slightly, and he saw that warm face when he looked sideways.

The corners of Xiao Ji's lips were pulled up with relief, but they coughed suddenly, and the hoarse voice in his throat made everyone's hearts touch, and the next moment, the unconcealable red at the corners of his lips sank everyone's hearts again.

When Empress Yuan and the crown princess Xu stepped forward to talk to Xiao Ji one by one, the atmosphere in the room was obviously warm, but it was wrapped in the depression of death.

At the last moment, as if sensing the changes in his body becoming weaker and weaker, Xiao Ji once again looked at his elderly father in front of the bed, his lips pursed, and finally said the last sentence.

"When you go to your son, may my father take care of his health, and don't be too sad for my son-"

When Emperor Jianheng heard these parting words, he burst into tears again, clenched his weak hands uncontrollably, shook his head and said, "You won't go, my father won't let you go-"

Xiao Ji heard the words, there was a trace of sadness and reluctance in his eyes, but when he looked at the curled up and frightened imperial doctor, he once again spoke softly: "The imperial doctors have done their best for their sons, and the sons can't serve their father's side, and I hope that my father will leave them, stay them by your side, and serve by your side——"

"Okay, okay—"

At this moment, all the killing intent and anger of Emperor Jianheng were soothed by the warm words of the son in front of him, as if he was just an ordinary father who responded to all the wishes of this son.

"Erchen only regrets that he cannot serve his father and mother in this life, if there is an afterlife, Erchen is willing to return to you and his mother's side and serve you for the rest of his life——"

At this moment, the gentle words became a little weaker and weaker the more he spoke, and in the end, he almost used all his strength, and the three words overflowed from his lips, just when Emperor Jianheng choked up and agreed, he felt that the hand he was clenching suddenly loosened, and the next moment, the body that was originally sitting on the soft pillow fell coldly, as if the last trace of strength was sucked away.

"No!"

Emperor Jianheng roared out almost with all the strength of his body, but he was full of helplessness and despair about death, only to hear Feng Wei raise his voice sadly, and the whole palace suddenly mourned.

"His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, die-"

Crying one after another, almost drowning Gu Yanling in it, and when she looked at the side, she saw Xiao Yi kneeling there silently, without crying, let alone the slightest emotion, as if she was in a state of calm, calm and terrifying.

But only she understands that Xiao Yi at this moment feels powerless for the first time, he may be able to stop everything and turn the tide, but in the face of the departure of his relatives, even if he is as noble as the Son of Heaven, he is just an ordinary ordinary man.

Death, in front of everyone, is fair.

Sadly, Gu Yanling silently reached out and surrounded the hanging hand beside him, feeling that the hand touched slightly, but the next moment, it was clenched little by little, almost using up all the strength of his body.

Looking at the prince Xiao Ji with his eyes closed in front of him, Gu Yanling's ears were still hovering with the conversation between the two of them, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

Father

I will definitely accompany Ah Yi to the end.
