After all, the emperor is not dead yet, and Liu Zhaoyi is not easy to speak too thoroughly, so she hurriedly covered up the past with other words, and turned to Concubine Shu and said: "Sister has a thought, but there is a princess under her knees, which can be regarded as some hope." ”

Concubine Shu coughed lightly, Xu was concerned about the feelings of the two of them having no children under their knees, sighed, and then said: "Actually, we are all the same people, we are blessed, and we have no chance in the matter of heirs, and the so-called princess under the knee is just a succession, just to talk about comfort." ”

Zhao Yun sighed lamentingly, and said, "No matter what, since the princess is raised under her sister's knees, her sister is her mother. ”

The few people talked for a long time before they dispersed.

As soon as the two left, Zhaoyun said to Bai Zhi, "Do you see what's coming?" ”

Bai Zhi shook her head and said suspiciously, "The slave doesn't understand. ”

Zhaoyun thought about it again and again, but in the end he still didn't make it clear to Bai Zhi, this kind of thing, the less one person knows, the more safe it is. Zhaoyun is concerned about Zixuan, and naturally understands the feeling of being full of worries, how can he not see what Liu Zhaoyi is thinking, although he doesn't know who that person is, but if Liu Zhaoyi has the idea of leaving the palace, if he has the ability, he will definitely help secretly.

I only heard Bai Zhi say again: "The little master has to make plans in advance." ”

Zhaoyun asked lightly: "In the harem, what can you plan?" ”

Bai Zhi said in a low voice: "The slave and maid said something inappropriate, the emperor is about to die, and the little master has to have other plans, the slave and maid look at the third prince is a person who can achieve great things, if he climbs the high branch of the third prince, the little master can be regarded as having something to rely on." ”

Zhaoyun heard this. Frowning, Fang Dao: "Don't talk nonsense, the new emperor marries the concubine of the first emperor, isn't it a mess of generation." ”

Bai Zhi raised her head and said: "Little master, the slave is also for your own good, in fact, this is nothing, there is a precedent in history, Wu Meiniang of the Tang Dynasty married Tang Taizong and Tang Gaozong successively. There is also Yang Guifei, who also married Li Mao, the king of longevity. Later married Tang Xuanzong. Besides, the little master is still ice and jade. If the three princes inherit the unification and set up the little lord as a concubine, who in the world dares to say half a word. ”

Think about it, what Bai Zhi said. There seems to be some truth to it. It's just that I can't forget my original intention. Wait until the emperor dies. When the time comes, all parts of the palace will be busy, and the ministers and concubines will also come and go, and then take advantage of this opportunity. Maybe you can escape from the palace. Once he has such a thought, Zixuan will definitely fully cooperate, but ......

I don't know when, I always think of the third prince, his voice and smile, it seems that he often appears in front of his eyes, what to do, Zhaoyun has no idea in his heart for a while.

Liu Zhaoyi Palace.

Xu Lin was ordered to come to check the pulse, and after saying a few polite words, Liu Zhaoyi went straight to the point and said: "Xu Lin, if you tell me the truth, can the emperor still maintain his life for a few days?" ”

Xu Lin looked directly into Liu Zhaoyi's eyes and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid it won't be three days." ”

Liu Zhaoyi didn't show any sadness, after all, she didn't have any feelings for the emperor. After thinking about it, Liu Zhaoyi said with a straight face: "Xu Lin, can you give up the position of imperial doctor?" ”

Xu Lin nodded firmly, and asked again, "Have you already planned it?" ”

Liu Zhaoyi lowered his voice and said: "Yes, the emperor died, the palace is bound to be chaotic, the palaces are too busy to take care of themselves, when the time comes, no one should notice me, and then I will take advantage of the chaos to light a fire in the palace, everyone is busy with the emperor's death, and the number of people fighting the fire will be reduced, I took the opportunity to change my clothes, disguised as the follower of the imperial doctor, and mixed out of the palace, you only have to cover carefully, and no one will notice." ”

Xu Lin probably understood, and said: "When the fire is extinguished and the house is full of ashes, then others will mistakenly think that you have been burned to ashes, because you have to deal with the emperor's funeral, naturally no one cares about you, and you will only do it hastily." ”

Liu Zhaoyi nodded heavily, and asked in a low voice: "Xu Lin, from now on, all I can rely on is you, I am so troubled just to be able to go out of the palace and be with you!" ”

Xu Lin said softly: "Don't worry, with me, I will live up to you." ”

Three days later, the emperor died.

Although Concubine Ping is grounded, but the people around her can still come and go, and the national funeral is a major event, the world knows, the moment the news came, Concubine Ping was discouraged, the emperor, gone, what about yourself, what is the meaning of living by yourself, you can't even go out of the palace gate every day, live like a walking corpse, day after day, year after year, live without hope, it is better to die clean.

Thinking of death, Concubine Ping really planned to hang herself with a white silk. After driving out all the people close to her, Concubine Ping first took out a box, which was full of things that the emperor had rewarded her, and after looking at them carefully, she smiled bitterly, but there were tears on her face, and she let out a long sigh: "Your Majesty, the concubine will come down to accompany you." ”

A white silk was suspended on the beam, Concubine Ping stepped on the stool, tied the white silk into a dead knot, the stool kicked, and a wisp of incense dispersed with the wind.

The queen was busy dealing with the emperor's affairs, and heard that Concubine Ping hanged herself, and she was irritable, but she still took out a few capable people to deal with Concubine Ping's affairs.

After a while, the queen heard that Liu Zhaoyi's palace was on fire, and she had no time to take care of it, so she casually asked a palace maid with a good face to investigate the situation.

The ministers of Mingdemen went in and out, and the guards were also messed up, they were all powerful people, and at this juncture, it was naturally impossible to check them one by one, Liu Zhaoyi disguised himself as an entourage carrying a medicine box, and followed Xu Lin out of the palace.

A group of concubines and ministers stood in front of the emperor's coffin, dressed in plain clothes, and wept loudly, either sincerely or falsely.

At this time, the queen still maintained a rare calmness, and after everyone cried, she hurriedly asked a crucial question: "The emperor died, and the whole country mourned, however, the country cannot be left without an owner for a day. ”

Some high-ranking ministers recommended the Three Princes, and under the drive of these old ministers, almost all the officials were one-sided, and all of them became the Three Princes' faction, while some people were silent and acquiesced in the opinions of the majority.

In the middle, there are naturally ministers who plan to recommend the six princes or other princes, but the three princes' voices are too high, and the people's hearts are wanting, if they oppose it, not to mention how the three princes will treat themselves after they ascend the throne, even these ministers who support the three princes will not make themselves feel better. Under the trade-off, it is natural to put your own future first.

The queen finally listened to the advice of most of the powerful ministers, and the three princes succeeded to the throne and ascended the throne after seven days of mourning.

When the news reached Zhaoyun's ears, Zhaoyun was still slightly stunned, sighed casually, and said with a wry smile: "Sure enough, I didn't misunderstand you, I will always come when I should come, since you have inherited the unification, I must stay in this palace." (To be continued.) )
