Prosperous, what do you think Longlin will be like in the future?"

The Emperor's head tilted slightly, the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile of relief, and he asked in a calm tone.

Xu Changsheng looked at the emperor, but his brows were locked, and tears overflowed in his eyes.

"Say yes. ”

The emperor's voice seemed to be a little weaker than the previous moment.

So, Xu Changsheng bowed his waist and said with a little crying: "The people are rich and the country is rich, and the generations will be eternal!"

The smile on the emperor's face finally fell, and at the same time, his eyes closed.

Stompe!

At that moment, a footstep suddenly came from outside.

The silence here was instantly broken by the sound of slight and rapid footsteps.

Immediately, the emperor reached out and grabbed Dongfang Shuo's shoulder, not only to support his body, but also to signal Dongfang Shuo to cover the dagger with his body.

"Your Majesty. ”

Fortunately, the little eunuch who arrived did not come in, but just knelt outside the door curtain.

After exhaling deeply, the emperor asked, "What's the matter?"

The third princess sent a letter. ”

The little eunuch said.

On this matter, Dongfang Shuo noticed that the emperor's face showed a bit of bitterness.

"Read. ”

Seeing that the emperor was silent, Xu Changsheng immediately commanded for him.

Immediately, after a brief opening of the letter, the little eunuch spoke: "Father is healthy." My father worked hard day and night, but did it snow in the imperial city last night? The snow had accumulated a thick layer, making the entire imperial city look like it was covered in silver, so beautiful. The daughter has not seen her father for more than three months, I wonder if my father can accompany his daughter to see the snow scene today? and Dongfang Shuo, he is also there. ”

"Oh, it's snowing......" The Emperor frowned suddenly, but after a quick sigh of relief, he continued, "The widow really doesn't know. But the widow can't go today, you go back, don't say that the widow is sick, say that the widow is busy. ”

"Yes. ”

At that's right, the little eunuch immediately got up, and there was a series of footsteps that were fading away.

It wasn't until the footsteps died down that the emperor finally let go of the hand that was supporting Dongfang Shuo's shoulder.

Immediately after, he leaned back and collapsed on top of the bed with a muffled thud.

After that, there was a long silence.

And the owner of the only two breaths in the bedroom could no longer hear or feel the emperor's breath.

Xu Changsheng sank his gaze and bent down to kneel, but he didn't make any big moves, just Dongfang Shuo could hear some low sobs.

If you cry out loud at this moment, you will surely alarm the people outside the temple.

Dongfang Shuo lowered his head and glanced at the dagger in his hand.

There was not the slightest trace of blood on the dagger.

Then, he looked up at the emperor's chest, and there was another very flat incision on the clothes on his chest, but there was no blood seeping out from under the incision, and there was no wound visible on the flesh and skin looming under the torn clothes.

What was really damaged was the emperor's heart.

This is the first profit in the world, it can hurt the heart and lungs without hurting the flesh and skin, and killing people invisibly.

In comparison, I'm afraid that the spirit soldiers of the nine grades are not as good as this.

"Father-in-law Xu, let's go to the imperial doctor first. ”

Put away the dagger, Dongfang Shuo said.

Xu Changsheng listened, prostrate on the ground and adjusted his emotions for a long time, and finally got up.

"I knew that today, I shouldn't have sent you to the Imperial City in the first place. ”

Xu Changsheng Road.

With that, he moved.

Dongfang Shuo sank his gaze: "I'm sorry." ”

At this time, General Xu Changsheng staggered by him, but paused: "You are guilty, but you shouldn't apologize, this is the destiny of heaven." ”

As soon as the words fell, he continued to walk forward.

And just as he had just lifted the curtain, Dongfang Shuo turned around and said, "Third princess...... Is it Akibashi?"

"Yes. ”

After leaving this word, Xu Changsheng immediately left the bedroom.

After Mo had about a cup of tea, the sound of hurried footsteps gradually increased, and Xu Changsheng and Imperial Doctor Huang quickly rushed into the bedroom.

"Quick, Imperial Physician Huang, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, he ......"

While opening the curtain, Xu Changsheng shouted eagerly, as if the emperor had just suddenly fallen ill.

And after Imperial Physician Huang glanced at Dongfang Shuo, he quickly passed by his side.

At this time, the emperor had been straightened by Dongfang Shuo and restored to his original position, Imperial Physician Huang did not lift the quilt, so naturally he could not see the emperor's clothes cut by sharp weapons.

After a while, Imperial Physician Huang stepped down from the dragon couch, and then knelt on the ground.

"Imperial Physician Huang, ...... you?"

Xu Changsheng rushed to Imperial Physician Huang's side and asked in surprise.

Imperial Physician Huang lowered his gaze and said, "Your Majesty...... The poison in His Majesty's body rushed to his heart, and at this moment, his heart has already stopped, and there is almost a cup of tea, Lao Chen...... The old minister has no skills to return to the sky!"

At this time, Xu Changsheng's eyes widened, and he hurriedly asked, "What do you mean......?"

"Your Majesty...... Died ......"

When Imperial Physician Huang's words fell, he immediately knocked on the ground and couldn't cry.

And Xu Changsheng's face trembled, and he also knelt down, looking up to the sky and crying, like a child who has lost his loved ones.

Dongfang Shuo stared, but did not waver.

After that, countless palace people and palace maids heard the news and knelt down in front of the dragon couch.

Dongfang Shuo has quietly retreated here.

In front of the emperor's spirit, he, an outsider, should not stay long.

Just as he walked out of the main hall from the side door, he saw the bottom of the stairs in front of the hall, and the eldest prince, the sixth prince, and the eighth prince were kneeling.

There are a total of five princes who are still in the palace, and in addition to these three, the five princes and the seven princes have all entered the palace.

Dongfang Shuo walked down the stairs and walked to the three princes.

"Why don't the three highnesses enter the palace?"

Dongfang Shuo asked.

The eldest prince said: "We didn't see my father for the last time, because we were guilty, and I didn't have the shame to see my father." And the father is also quiet in front of him, instead of making noise in front of the spirit, it is better to send the father and emperor back to heaven outside the palace. ”

"Condolences change. ”

Oriental Shuo Road.

As soon as he finished speaking, the six princes, who were originally hanging their heads, suddenly raised their heads and looked at Dongfang Shuo.

The sixth prince said: "Mr. Dongfang, now that the position of the crown prince is vacant, and you are already the head of the ministers, you need to work on your father's etiquette." ”

Dongfang Shuo paused.

This should have been the moment for them to show their means, and this is also their best chance to compete for the throne, but they gave it up, which makes people a little confused.

"The minister is dead. ”

Dongfang Shuo gave up.

So, he left.

And when he left, the three princes lowered their eyes again.

"Why did the sixth brother do this?" the eighth prince asked.

The sixth prince said: "When my father left, only Dongfang Shuo was present, which must not be a coincidence. Father, this is a change in the emperor's mind. ”

"Sixth brother, what do you mean?"

The Eighth Prince became more and more confused.

And the sixth prince shook his head: "Don't think about it, next, let's see Dongfang Shuo's play." What do you think, Brother Emperor?"

The eldest prince closed his eyes.

He was the crown prince, and although he was defeated, he naturally could see through what the six princes could see.

There was a moment of silence before he opened his eyes.

"Yes, yes. ”
