146 Chapter 146
At one o'clock in the morning, the main star of the empire, Xiao Jinglong's dormitory.
Today is Xiao Jinglong's 90th birthday, and the good news has just come from the front line, and those protesters have also been suppressed, Xiao Jinglong called this "three happy arrivals", and thousands of tables of banquets were set up in the imperial gardens of the empire. The dishes at the banquet had been budgeted for weeks before, and they were full of rare delicacies that might not be able to afford to put on such a table even with the savings of the ministers for a year.
The most important thing is that they all drank the fine wine of the royal collection, which is priceless and can only be enjoyed by Xiao Jinglong, his sons and concubines.
It is no wonder that many people are interested in the chair under him, and becoming the ruler of the empire is equivalent to having everything that ordinary people cannot imagine.
Fortunately, those soldiers who worked for Xiao Jinglong on the front line did not see this scene, otherwise would they feel that their sacrifice was a joke?
After seventy years of drinking, Xiao Jinglong was already a little drunk, and the whole person felt very tired, so he returned to the dormitory early.
During this period of time, Xiao Jinglong found that he seemed to feel weak in his hands and feet easily, and he couldn't lift his spirits in a hurry, so he asked the imperial doctor to check it, but he couldn't see any results. The first imperial doctor said that Xiao Jinglong was weak and needed to make up for it, which made Xiao Jinglong furious, and sent someone to drag the imperial doctor out and beat him to death.
Xiao Jinglong is the most reluctant to be called "frail" by others, he is only 89 years old, but the average age of the empire is nearly 200 years old, is he frail? That's a joke!
However, although he didn't want to admit it in his heart, Xiao Jinglong still asked the other imperial doctors to prescribe some medicines to replenish qi and blood. The imperial doctors trembled and wrote down the medicine list, and retreated and left Xiao Jinglong's dormitory.
After eating these "replenishing qi and blood" medicines, Xiao Jinglong really felt that he had the spirit again, and he finally believed the words of the first imperial doctor, but he did not feel sorry for killing the other party.
Anyway, he also paid the other party's salary for so many years, and this imperial doctor can be regarded as a well-deserved death, Xiao Jinglong thought to himself, and threw this trivial matter aside.
Xiao Jinglong, who came in spirit, quickly accepted another nobleman, this little nobleman was only eighteen years old, which was the age of flowers, and for Xiao Jinglong, it was the best evidence to prove that he was "not old".
He wanted this little nobleman to conceive another prince for him, so he was very kind to this little nobleman for a while, and almost every time he invited the other party to sleep.
After returning from the banquet, Xiao Jinglong asked the attendant to cook a bowl of medicine that "replenishes qi and blood" and drank it in a few sips.
Soon, he felt that his whole body was full of strength, and he beckoned the delicate little nobleman over, and in the blink of an eye, he rolled together with the other party.
The cloud-rain-joy lasted for a full hour. At twelve o'clock in the morning, Xiao Jinglong's heart suddenly stagnated, and before he could withdraw from the little nobleman's body, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he fainted in the screams of the little nobleman.
When Xiao Jinglong woke up again, it was already one o'clock in the morning. Today is a day of great joy, both for the royal family and for Xiao Jinglong's ministers, so the entire palace should be filled with a joyful atmosphere.
However, Xiao Jinglong did not feel the afterglow of this joy. He didn't hear the sound of the palace people walking around, and he didn't even see the imperial doctors kneeling on the ground tremblingly. He obviously vomited a mouthful of blood, and there were still blood stains on the bed, but as a result, the surroundings were quiet, and even the little nobleman was gone.
Quiet, it's really □□, it's unusually quiet.
A panic suddenly rose in Xiao Jinglong's heart: "Someone! Someone! Come on......"
Xiao Jinglong roared hoarsely, he found that his throat was burning and hurting, but he didn't stop yelling because of this. Outside the door of the Emperor's Chambers stood the attendants on duty forever, and he roared so loudly that it was impossible for them not to hear them.
However, Xiao Jinglong roared for more than a minute, and no one appeared, and only his voice echoed around him, hoarse and cold.
"Again...... If you don't come again, I'm going to chop you up one by one and feed them to the dogs! Someone......" Xiao Jinglong gasped a few times, his eyes glaring at the gate angrily, as if he could stare people out with a few glances.
Of course, Xiao Jinglong also wanted to walk over and open the door by himself, but when he woke up, he found that he was so weak that he couldn't even get out of bed, and his limbs seemed to be evacuated, limp, and he had no strength at all.
"Squeak-" The door finally opened, and a tall figure walked in unhurriedly.
"Ho...... He Yi? Xiao Jinglong's eyes widened, and he didn't care why He Yi would trespass into the dormitory without reporting, and gasped and said, "Quick, quickly find me the imperial doctor!" ”
Xiao Jinglong's whole person showed a sense of death, although he couldn't see it, he could intuitively sense that his physical condition was not good. He doesn't want to die, he doesn't want to die at all, he is the supreme ruler of this empire, he is only 90 years old, half of his life is not finished, how can he be willing to die?!
He Yi walked to Xiao Jinglong's bedside and looked at him condescendingly, with a vague smile on his face.
"Ho...... He Yi, why don't you call the imperial doctor? Do you want to rebel?! Xiao Jinglong struggled in bed like a dehydrated swimming fish, but in vain.
"Huh, rebellion?" He Yi chuckled as if he had heard the funniest thing, and said slowly, "I never intended to declare loyalty to you, so why talk about 'rebellion'?" ”
He Yi said very calmly what made Xiao Jinglong feel bad. Xiao Jinglong's forehead was exposed, his eyes were red like an angry lion, and he was about to reprimand He Yi's behavior, but as soon as he opened his mouth, another mouthful of blood spit out.
He Yi flashed lightly and dodged Xiao Jinglong's blood.
The whole room was filled with a smell of blood, and He Yi looked at Xiao Jinglong, as if he was pitying, and like mockery.
Xiao Jinglong has been stubborn all his life, thinking that he is the ruler of the empire and can firmly control the world in the palm of his hand. Like Qin Xuan, like the King Organization, like those who want to rebel against the Xiao Dynasty because of their poor living conditions, no matter how powerful they are, they are just ants, because only they hold the scepter of the supreme ruler of the empire.
As for those subordinates, Xiao Jinglong just regarded them as loyal dogs, which could be replaced at any time for housekeeping - disloyal "dogs", such as Qin Xuan, would take back the power of the other party and let more loyal people sit on it, for example, He Yi.
Of course, it is impossible for Xiao Jinglong to say these thoughts, he just hides them deep in his subconscious, and occasionally reflects them in some behaviors.
However, Xiao Jinglong did everything he could, but he didn't calculate that he would be bitten by the "dog" that the family loyally raised, this "dog" usually looks well-behaved and obedient, and all the enemies were taken down by him one by one, which made Xiao Jinglong feel that this was the most loyal and satisfying "dog".
As a result, he was bitten into the median artery.
"He Yi, do you know the consequences of doing this!" Xiao Jinglong's eyeballs bulged, "You think that if I die, my sons will let you go?!" ”
"Your sons? Your Majesty, are you kidding? You count, how many sons do you have who can hold up the wall, huh? He Yi walked to Xiao Jinglong's imperial table step by step, sat down, and poured himself a cup of tea, "Good tea, no wonder everyone hollows out their heads and wants to be the emperor." ”
"Huh! They can't hold up the wall, and it won't be your turn to be the emperor! Xiao Jinglong laughed at He Yi's whimsy.
"Oh? Really? He Yi didn't care about Xiao Jinglong's attitude at all, "Then which son are you going to let sit in your seat?" The Great Prince? Second prince? Or the Seven Princes? …… I don't think it should be the third prince, after all, Xiao Ling and Qin Xuan have the best relationship, isn't it? ”
"The next emperor is what your dog can know!" Xiao Jinglong said viciously. In his heart, all his subjects are his servants, and naturally He Yi is too.
A disobedient dog is not a pity to die!
He Yi glanced at Xiao Jinglong, hooked the corners of his lips, and said, "Oh? If you knew that your current situation had something to do with your good sons, would you still insist on handing over the throne to them? ”
"Nonsense!" Xiao Jinglong didn't want to believe this fact, he felt that He Yi was dividing the relationship between him and his son.
Xiao Jinglong didn't want to think about it, royal, how could he have any feelings? Perhaps, he just didn't want to believe that his sons wanted him to die so early and sit on the throne himself.
"If they were all still loyal to you, the Emperor, how could I sit here and talk to you without hindrance, Your Majesty, do you say yes?"
He Yi's voice "you" is more like sarcasm.
Xiao Jinglong was so angry that his eyes turned black for a while, and he almost fainted again, but he still survived at the last moment.
Xiao Jinglong felt as if he had regained a little strength, and he sat up and looked at He Yi at eye level.
He couldn't be condescendingly looked down upon by his own subordinates.
He Yi raised his eyebrows and did not comment on Xiao Jinglong's behavior.
Actually, this is a return to the past, right? He Yi knew, but Xiao Jinglong didn't.
"Heh, don't you panic when you see that I still have the strength to sit up?" Xiao Jinglong was still talking inwardly.
"I don't think there's any need to be scared of someone who has no power to go back." He Yi said lightly, "Haven't you heard the words 'return to the light'?" As early as tonight, when you were in the clouds and rain with that beautiful little nobleman, you had no chance of being alive. ”
"You! You poisoned me?! Xiao Jinglong said angrily, "You dare to unite with my concubine to poison me?!" ”
"Tsk, I also said, I'm not the only one who poisoned, to be honest, the person who did it wasn't me, I just reminded the eldest prince, the second prince and the seventh prince, and they couldn't wait to take action, and I couldn't help it. Besides, it doesn't have much to do with the little beauty, it's just that your nightlife and the dishes you eat tonight will speed up the toxins in your body. ”
"You...... You guys! Xiao Jinglong was so angry that he lost his mind, he struggled to get out of bed and wanted to kill the person in front of him! Forgetting his identity as an emperor and forgetting that he would still use the Force, he just wanted to slash the person in front of him with his bare hands and slash the person who was talking about the conspiracy alive!
"Bump!" As He Yi expected, Xiao Jinggong fell heavily to the ground.
"Tsk, Your Majesty, you better save your energy, so that you can live for a few more minutes." He Yi said in a "pity" tone, but his eyes were cold.
"If you kill me, my sons may not let you go!" Xiao Jinglong still had a trace of blood on the side of his mouth, his reason returned slightly, and he was finally able to think of a way to hit He Yi, "Heh, the cunning rabbit is dead and the lackey cooks, do you think my sons are completely straw bales?" The smarter you behave, the faster you'll die, just like Qin Xuan! ”
"Yo, it's rare that Your Majesty can still think of this, and it's no wonder that Qin Xuan has been given a 'good bow to hide' by you, let alone someone like me who harbors evil intentions?"
"Are you Qin Xuan's person?" Xiao Jinglong's eyes became even colder, he didn't expect Qin Xuan to have such great ability.
He Yi's face showed a look of disgust: "Heh, his people? Your Majesty, you're not joking, are you? Do you think I'm going to do the bidding of a man who only knows how to be foolish? ”
Xiao Jinglong's eyes widened: Foolish loyalty?!
"Oh, by the way, he's a lot smarter now, at least he doesn't plan to be loyal to the royal family anymore. However, this doesn't mean that I, He Yi, will obey him! ”
"Ahem......" Xiao Jinglong felt tired again, and he held his eyes to prevent himself from falling.
He Yi stood up, paced in front of him, and said in a charity tone: "Since Your Majesty, you are also about to go to see the ancestor of the Xiao family, I might as well let you die to understand." You only know that I am an orphan, but you don't know my other identity, do you know who my uncle is? Oh, Europe, Yang, Jing. Of course, now that he has parted ways with me for the sake of that illegitimate child, otherwise how can I need to establish my prestige in the emperor ** team so quickly? Regarding this point, I am still quite grateful to Your Majesty, if it weren't for me, how could I have the strength to compete with Ouyang Jing and Qin Xuan so quickly, Your Majesty, you said, right? ”
Xiao Jinglong didn't answer He Yi, the sanity in his eyes had dissipated, and his pupils gradually dilated, only his eyes were still open, as if he was dead.
"Oh, dead?" He Yi straightened up, clapped his palms, and soon, two attendants walked in, both of whom turned out to be Xiao Jinglong's personal attendants.
"Find a place to burn it." He Yi said lightly.
"Yes!" The attendants said respectfully, as if He Yi was the supreme ruler of this empire.
And Xiao Jinglong, who has been an emperor all his life, can't even enter the royal cemetery in the end, leaving only a blank of loess. 166 Reading Network
