At this time, the Queen Mother had already approached and was standing behind Lord Xiao, who accidentally raised his hand and touched the skirt of the Queen Mother, and the soft and light gauze skirt once again frightened him.

Looking back, it was really the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother's cold and sharp eyes went straight into Lord Xiao's eyes, Lord Xiao was sitting on the ground and looking up, and the innocent, simple and confused old eyes were shot by the Queen Mother impartially.

Because the Queen Mother happened to be looking down at Lord Xiao with her hands on her hips, her eyes fiercely, and this sudden gaze made Lord Xiao feel shocked. Quickly stood up and kept a distance from the Queen Mother.

"Too, the Queen Mother, this ......" Lord Xiao was a little confused, he didn't know whether the emperor was alive or dead, and if the emperor had really died, then why did the Queen Mother let herself know, he was not afraid of death, but he didn't understand what the Queen Mother's purpose was.

The Queen Mother sneered and said indifferently the sentence, "The emperor has died." ”

Yes? Lord Xiao was speechless in shock, his pupils widened and his face was like earth, it turned out that what he had guessed was true, but this, this was too sudden. Lord Xiao couldn't accept it, how could he accept it He had been thinking about it for most of his life and planning for a long time, and finally exchanged for a good era when the emperor was in power, but he didn't expect that it would end like this in just a few months.

So what were you doing before? Nothing to do? Haha, it's funny, it's so funny.

"Haha, haha......" I don't know whether to cry or laugh, the tears now don't feel like his own, he wants to laugh at himself, but the tears keep falling, the turbid and bitter taste falls down his cheeks little by little, and there is not a drop left after most of his life's hard work.

At this point, there is nothing to say and what to do. I'm old, I'm old, I should have gone home to farm and I have to stay here, what's the use of being here? Assist the king? Hehe, who else do you need to assist when the king is not there?

It's ridiculous, Lord Xiao, you've been a joke all your life, a joke!

It's hard to be angry, there is no way to serve the country, and all kinds of feelings are intertwined in my heart, and my heart is broken. What else is there to say now, Lord Xiao stood in place as if his soul had been emptied. After that, he couldn't hear what the Queen Mother said, but he vaguely remembered that the Queen Mother handed over a piece of paper, on which was a suicide note written by the emperor explaining the ins and outs.

But Lord Xiao was not interested in watching the process of the merry emperor dying for love, so he threw down the suicide note and went back first.

The old emperor's suicide note was thrown up, and the white and black words fluttered weakly in the air, and the remnants of the soul on it still faintly echoed the situation of the day.

The old emperor burst into tears in two lines, and little by little withdrew the strength he had withdrawn, and got up from the ground. The angry emperor immediately ordered someone to get wine.

drank a jar of grief in extreme grief, and then the whole person was dazed and groggy and didn't know whether it was in a dream or reality. In a trance, heavy sleepiness swept over his eyes, and his blurred eyes began to close.

The old emperor kept shaking his head and blinking his eyes in an attempt to sober himself, but when he opened his eyes again, he found the figure of Concubine Duan. is still so radiant, and he is still so affinity, stretching out his hand and walking towards the old emperor.

The old emperor smiled, he was relieved and relaxed at that moment, and the only thought was to happily stretch out his hand and grab Concubine Duan. But he stretched out his hand and scratched it again, as if there was nothing.

This made the old emperor a little disappointed, and at the same time, the darkening sky made people a little sober, and the emperor knew that he had been staying for a day, and this wine had been drunk for a long time. The strong alcohol passed through the intestines and mixed with the blood, but gradually began to dissipate over time. The great sobriety makes the pain come constantly, and the physical and mental pain always brings exhaustion.

The old emperor wrote this suicide note in pain.

The suicide note is still floating in mid-air, like a lonely soul floating by.

"The queen mother, mother, the child is not filial and cannot bear the knees to fulfill filial piety. In the past few days, Concubine Duan has often been in and out of her dreams with me, and a short gathering cannot solve the pain of lovesickness. I wish to dream and find Fang to be her companion. My mother has been the queen mother all her life, and I am afraid that she has long forgotten her duties as a mother. How I want to find the figure of my mother from you, but I can't. The queen mother, the son is not filial piety, and he cannot become a satisfied emperor in your heart. May the mother have the wisdom to know the British and invite the new emperor. ”

At this point, this suicide note has ended, and the suicide note is gradually

At this point, the entire suicide note has fallen, clinging to the ground, and all memories are over. The Queen Mother suddenly lowered her eyes and her face was slightly gloomy, no one knew what mood she was in at the moment, and I was afraid that even she herself couldn't tell the truth. I just felt that my chest was empty, as if as soon as I let go, my heart was gone, so the Queen Mother could only leave the imperial study with her hands on her chest and stepping on the suicide note on the ground.

When the palace people closed the door again, there was no light or life in the room, and it was quietly sealed in a corner of their hearts. The Queen Mother didn't look back at the room again, but just told the palace people not to open it. The palace people vaguely felt that something was wrong, but in order to survive, they had to pretend to be deaf and dumb and let it go.

The news of the emperor's death, except for the Queen Mother, was only known to Lord Xiao, who left the palace in a hurry. When all the ministers were waiting for Lord Xiao in the main hall but couldn't wait, everyone began to speculate, and public opinion in the court continued.

But in the end, this fruitless court meeting ended unhappily, and the ministers returned to their respective mansions.

Only Lord Xiao did not return to the house, and when he came out of the imperial study, he changed the way and bypassed the front of the main hall and went out of the imperial city. It was not until he reached a small hill outside the city that he gradually stopped, found a big stone and sat in a daze, letting the wind blow through his ears and blow his hair and his clothes fluttering.

At this moment, he was in no mood at all, so he sat there and looked into the distance with messy eyes, and the clouds and mist in the distance were lush and green. This was a great splendid country, but now it is coming to an end. Although I can't see the scenery in the future, I can guess it when I think about it. The emperor has no heirs, where is the future.

"That's it, no matter what, even the emperor himself doesn't want it, why should I care! Who will call the rules, isn't he still a courtier, what is there to worry about! Hehe......"

Lord Xiao muttered to himself in the wind, and smiled bitterly after speaking, like self-deprecation and self-pity. But soon he was unwilling, raised his fist and slammed the big stone, and all that flashed in his mind was the qiē that he had worked hard to plan back then and the words he had spoken with the emperor in the imperial study.
