Your Majesty, what the hell is going on?"

Dongfang Shuo looked at the emaciated emperor and couldn't help asking.

And the emperor looked at him, and said with a wry smile: "Last night, the widow had a high fever several times and did not go away, and then fell asleep in myocardial pectolics for an unknown number of times, and now although the high fever has subsided, the body has become like this." ”

"What's going on?"

Faced with such a sudden situation, Dongfang Shuo couldn't help frowning.

This moment is the key, no matter what major events happen, it is very likely to have an impact on Dongfang Shuo's plan.

"Your Majesty's situation at the moment is very similar to that of ten years ago, and Wei Chen thinks that I am afraid that the recurrence of the old poison has begun to invade His Majesty's heart and lungs again. The Imperial Physician replied to Dongfang Shuo on behalf of the Emperor.

"How can this be, shouldn't the poison have been cleared back then?"

Dongfang Shuo frowned.

The imperial doctor was sad and said, "We thought this was the case, but now it seems that we were afraid that it could not be eradicated at the beginning. ”

"But why is it only revealed ten years later?"

"Wechen is incompetent, this poison is too profound, and Wechen has not been able to penetrate it so far. ”

Dongfang Shuo's eyes sank, and then he asked, "Is there a way to cure it?"

The imperial physician looked at the emperor, but did not say anything more.

Looking at his expression, Dongfang Shuo already understood what he meant.

But come to think of it, Dongfang Shuo has studied alchemy and knows a little bit of pharmacology. No matter why, this poison has not occurred for ten years, and I am afraid that it has invaded very deeply, and at this time, the removal of poison is the removal of people, and the difficulty of removing poison is no less than climbing to the sky on foot.

"Imperial Physician Huang, you can go down too. ”

Suddenly, the emperor said.

Imperial Physician Huang glanced at the emperor, paused, and then gave up.

He also understood that even if he was a physician, there was no point in staying here.

And seeing the emperor suffering, as a imperial doctor, in fact, even if he is not a imperial doctor, as an ordinary doctor, how can he feel good when he sees his patients suffering?

After the imperial doctor left, the emperor coughed twice.

Then, he called weakly, "Dongfang Aiqing." ”

"The minister is here. ”

Dongfang Shuo looked up.

The Emperor asked, "The widow asks you." ”

"Listen. ”

"Are there any people in this palace that you don't trust?"

"This ...... Your Majesty?" Dongfang Shuo said, "Your Majesty's palace is full of His Majesty's people, and the ministers believe in Your Majesty, and naturally believe in the people Your Majesty believes." ”

Suddenly, the Emperor smiled, followed by two coughs in succession.

After coughing, the emperor smiled and said: "Now in this palace, there is no one left, and those who should leave have been evacuated by the widows." Don't you want to talk to the widow sincerely?"

Dongfang Shuo's brows couldn't help frowning slightly.

Then, he looked at the emperor and asked, "What does Your Majesty mean?"

"The meaning is very simple, the widow wants to see you for who you are. ”

The Emperor said.

Dongfang Shuo looked at the emperor, and then looked at Xu Changsheng beside the emperor.

At this time, since the emperor blurted out, he must have a plan in his heart.

"The minister obeyed. ”

Oriental Shuo Road.

And the emperor smiled bitterly: "It's okay." Then, he glanced at Xu Changsheng beside him, and said, "The widow asks you more bluntly, Xu Changsheng, can you trust it? ”

"Trustworthy. ”

Dongfang Shuo lowered his gaze and replied.

Indeed, Xu Changsheng has helped Dongfang Shuo a lot so far, and he can be regarded as a person who can trust in major rights and wrongs.

And just as he gave such an answer, as soon as the words fell, a loud laugh came from the bed.

Dongfang Shuo's heart moved, and he hurriedly raised his head.

As soon as he looked around, he saw that the Emperor was getting up with his own strength, his feet hanging from the bed, and then he was standing up.

All the actions are like a normal person.

Seeing this scene, Dongfang Shuo immediately straightened up.

"Your Majesty?"

He wondered.

The Emperor set out, walked up to him, and reached out to help him up.

"Next, the widow still hopes that the widow can see a Dongfang Shuo that he can't usually see. "After lifting Dongfang Shuo, the emperor is Dao," and on the other hand, the widow will also let Dongfang Aiqing you see a widow who is not the same as usual. ”

"This ......"

Dongfang Shuo was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes immediately looked at Xu Changsheng, wanting to get an answer from Xu Changsheng.

But Xu Changsheng shook his head slightly and did not speak.

"Isn't it strange that the widow is still dying, why is he able to act as a normal person now?" asked the Emperor.

Dongfang Shuo looked at the emperor, paused, and said: "In this regard, the minister is not surprised, now it seems that His Majesty is pretending." However, the minister is very curious, how did Your Majesty hide it from the Imperial Doctor?"

He looked at Imperial Physician Huang's expression, which didn't look like he was pretending at all.

Obviously, Imperial Physician Huang really felt that the emperor's poison had relapsed.

"Last night, the widow did have a high fever, myocardial angina and a coma. The emperor said, "But Imperial Physician Huang didn't know that his medicine was very effective, and he had removed a lot of toxins from the widow's body, and the widow was already well." ”

Dongfang Shuo's eyes lowered, and when he raised it again, he asked, "I don't understand, why did Your Majesty do this?"

The emperor turned around, took a few more steps towards the bed, and after a moment of silence, turned to look at Dongfang Shuo, and gave the answer: "For the world." ”

"The world?"

Dongfang Shuo asked, "Your Majesty, please speak up." ”

"Last night, when I was ill, the widow understood a lot, and I also realized a sentence left by my predecessors. ”

The Emperor said.

Dongfang Shuo became more and more puzzled, and hurriedly asked, "What do you mean?"

"Do you remember what the widow mentioned to you, the first generation of Shang Guogong?"

"Yes. ”

"One hundred and eighty years ago, after he left a message for the royal family, he disappeared, and the royal family has not been able to understand it. ”

"What?"

"There is a great dispute in the world, and if you want to change the destiny of heaven, when it is broken, it will be broken, and the grass will be cut and the roots will be removed. ”

"What can these sixteen words say?"

"The world is in turmoil, and it may be today. If you want to change the mandate of heaven, what is the mandate of heaven, humanity is also, the widow really wants to reshape the world and rejuvenate the empire that is on the verge of collapse and decay. Therefore, the widow will use you, and it turns out that the widow is not wrong. ”

At this point, the emperor's eyes fell on Dongfang Shuo's body, full of deep meaning.

Dongfang Shuo looked at the emperor's gaze, and couldn't help but feel a trace of surprise in his heart.

"What about the last eight words?"

Dongfang Shuo asked.

The emperor smiled, looked up at the lamp, and said, "The last eight words...... I want to ask you first, where do you think the problems of the empire are now?"

"The imperial authority is hereditary, the courtiers in the imperial city peep into power, the dragons and tigers outside the imperial city, and the people in the wilderness are all fish and meat, and there is no future for eternity. ”

"In this world, I'm afraid only you dare to say that. ”

The Emperor smiled, but seemed satisfied with the answer, and then continued, "Then do you know where the source of all this is, or what is really needed to change everything completely?"

"This ......"

Dongfang Shuo frowned.

He seemed to have understood what the emperor meant.

And it was only now that he finally understood the reason why Ji Zhaoning gambled with him at the beginning, and then gave him a dagger.

The Emperor lowered his gaze and met his.

"Cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and this root will be on the widow's body. The emperor said, "Therefore, the previous sentence of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots will be broken when it is broken." ”
