Chapter 62: The Court Reception
The sedan shook and moved slowly. Li Siyu no longer had the heart to look out the window at the pedestrians on the side of the road.
The car moving forward did not mean to stop, Li Siyu's heart beat more and more violently as the car moved forward, and she felt faintly bad, I really don't know what will happen once you arrive at the palace.
At this time, Li Siyu's mind was in chaos, and suddenly, for some reason, several pictures flashed in his mind, in which the spirit of his own battle on the battlefield shocked the surroundings, so that the enemy soldiers did not dare to advance lightly.
Li Siyu's confidence suddenly increased, as if she had suddenly become unafraid.
She took a deep breath and thought to herself: "Don't be afraid, I am a person who practices martial arts, and I have military power in my hands, so I don't need to be afraid of them." Besides, I don't know where Daddy is now. I don't know what happened to my father. I don't want to be cranky at this time. ”
After walking for a while, the sedan chair stopped, and a soldier stepped forward to lift the curtain and said softly: "Miss Siyu, the palace has arrived, please follow the little ones to meet the emperor." ”
Li Siyu didn't feel any fear, straightened up, and said bluntly, "Take me forward." ”
Following the subordinate into the palace, Li Siyu felt that the surrounding environment was very strange, and there was no one else, which was really strange.
How could there be no one in the palace city of Nuoda?
"Where have all the soldiers gone here?" Li Siyu asked.
The man in the lead replied softly, "It's time for them to change shifts, and someone will come in a moment." ”
Although Li Siyu nodded on the surface, she was a little more vigilant in her heart.
Before being taken to a palace by his descendants, the palace was huge and splendid.
Li Siyu looked up at the palace and couldn't help but be surprised in her heart.
followed the subordinate to the door, and the subordinate softly pushed open the door and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Miss Siyu has come to meet you." ”
There was a coughing sound coming from inside.
"Let her in." An old man made such a voice.
Li Siyu could hear it clearly, and she knew in her heart that this was the emperor's voice.
Ignoring the subordinate, Li Siyu walked into the palace with big steps, and just took two steps, when he suddenly heard a sound of the door closing behind him, which was dull and scary.
Li Siyu couldn't help but tremble a few times, clenched her fist, paused for a moment, and let go of her clenched fist hand.
"Siyu, cough cough, come here, I have something to say to you."
The emperor's voice seemed weak and empty, making Li Siyu listen to it, feeling like a voice from hell, calling his soul.
She subconsciously took a step back, beads of sweat oozing from her forehead.
"Siyu, come here, I have something to say to you." The emperor's voice seemed a little impatient, as if he was about to get angry if he didn't go over again.
Li Siyu paused for a moment, cheering herself up in her heart, forget it, since things have come to this point, even if she wants to get out of this door, I'm afraid it won't work, right?
At this time there is only a way forward.
Li Siyu clenched her fists hard and walked towards the sound.
Gradually, at a turn in front of her, she turned her head and saw a bed placed in a place next to her, and a gauze tent hung next to the bed, covering the inside.
However, the outline of the emperor's body can still be seen.
Li Siyu stepped forward slowly, tried to calm herself, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to the emperor.
"Siyu, are you here?" The emperor gently lifted the gauze tent, revealing a pale face.
Li Siyu looked up, and her heart suddenly panicked, as if she had seen a ghost.
"Well, I heard that the emperor was not in good health, so Siyu came to visit."
Li Siyu lowered her head and finished speaking, she didn't dare to look up at all, and when she saw the pale face, she panicked in her heart.
"Hehe, what's wrong, my body is no longer good. I will die soon. Therefore there are many words in your heart that you need to hear. The emperor beckoned to Li Siyu and motioned for her to come over.
Li Siyu also looked up from time to time, and happened to see the emperor waving at her, she was surprised in her heart, and thought: "What should I do?" ”
But now the shape of shì no longer allows her to think, can she not go over?
When her heart was like a mess, Li Siyu didn't know why, so she got up and walked towards the emperor.
A few steps away from the emperor, she stopped and said softly: "The emperor's illness, have you seen the imperial doctor?" ”
The emperor waved his hand, coughed a few times at the same time, and said: "I am now old, and my body is getting worse, and it is estimated that it is no longer possible." After a little longer, I will also sail west. Let me tell you, I have been in power all these years, and I am very aggrieved. Now that he is dying, he doesn't want to see his flesh and blood kill each other. ”
Cannibalism?
Although Li Siyu was taken aback, this wild was what she expected. It's just that she didn't expect that these words came out of the emperor's mouth.
"Why did the emperor say this?" Li Siyu burst into tears, stared at the emperor and asked.
The emperor smiled lightly, and his originally pale face was a little more flushed at this time, but the ruddy color immediately disappeared again.
"Siyu, I am in power, I know everything. I can't do anything. I tell you, the only thing that makes me happy is that I found out that your Li family, your family has served the country, and I am very moved. Therefore, as I am leaving, I want to save the lives of your family. When the emperor said this, he coughed a few times, and then began to speak again.
"Siyu, the eldest son of the emperor, he is a smart person, and he is a good teacher, he has a lot of poems and books in his belly, and he knows how to govern the country. Therefore, after I died, I wanted to ...... the throne The throne passed to him ......"
Li Siyu shook his head and said softly: "Siyu can see from the emperor's expression that this is not the emperor's true words. Right? ”
The emperor's eyes suddenly widened, and he was very anxious, so he tried to raise his hand and swing it twice, and said, "No, this is my true words." ”
Li Siyu looked at the emperor's appearance, as if he was about to cry, how could his words be true at this time?
"Your Majesty." Li Siyu shouted angrily, suddenly knelt on the ground, and asked, "Where did my father and my brother go?" ”
When the emperor heard this, his face changed, and his whole body seemed to stiffen, and he didn't speak for a long time.
Li Siyu felt in her heart that it was bad, and now this is going to be a big deal.
The emperor finally spoke: "The two of them are not here now. ”
Hmph, it's the emperor's eldest son Zhao Buyi, his father and brother are there now, right? was coerced by him, or maybe something unexpected had happened......
Li Siyu didn't dare to think about it anymore, at this time she just wanted to find out the whereabouts of her father and brother.
Suddenly, a very arrogant voice came from behind him.
