The northern border of Zilai Prefecture is the land of the Dayan Dynasty, one of the six major dynasties in the Hongmeng world.

Dayan has strong national strength and vast territory. The imperial court recruited talents and made great efforts, and the whole country was thriving. The people live and work in peace and contentment, and commerce is prosperous. The soldiers are strong and strong, overlooking Zilai. The government and the opposition ruled together, and the imperial examination was greatly promoted, and it seemed that there was a prosperous atmosphere.

It's just that today's Dayan Kyoto seems to be shrouded in a layer of clouds, and the atmosphere is very wrong. That's because everybody knows a secret that isn't a secret.

His Majesty the Emperor is going to die.

The Dayan Imperial Palace is located in the southwest of Kyoto, and it is the most concentrated place of sunshine in the entire Jicheng City. Most of the palaces in the palace do not look very luxurious, but they are all towering, like a jungle, which is particularly eye-catching. Such a building is extremely rare in the five states, let alone a palace. It seems that the founding monarch of the Yan Dynasty in order to "strive for the upper reaches and open the clouds and open the sky", he complied with Mr. Feng Shui's intention and built such a slightly strange palace.

According to the rules, the three princes of the Yan Dynasty and a group of five people walked down from the carriage and walked here in a down-to-earth manner after approaching the Shenwu Gate.

There are five people, three men and two women, one woman and one girl, with gorgeous makeup and extraordinary clothes. The other two men were clearly dressed as servants and followed the three. After entering the Shenwu Gate, he walked straight to the Heart Cultivation Palace, without talking all the way, and his face was anxious.

When a few people walked quickly to the front of the Heart Cultivation Palace, they saw the figure of a middle-aged man in the distance, and they all accelerated their pace, and the three princes and their party took the initiative to clasp their fists and salute. This person's name is Ji Yue, the half-brother of the first emperor, and also the king of Dayan, although he is not in the capital all the year round, but Ji Yue's deeds are spread everywhere in Dayan.

This Xiaoyao King is a cultivator, and he is a rare great array master. More than ten years ago, the demon beasts in the eastern realm of Dayan were rampant, bandits were rampant, and the situation was extremely chaotic. Ji Yue rushed to the eastern realm and opened up a famous Great Yang Tianxuan Array in the north and south, and even the leader of the demon beast, a great demon who had stepped into the Eight Realms for a hundred years, was directly strangled by this array. After the First World War, Ji Yue became famous, and successively built more than ten formations for several sects, and formed a lot of good karma.

But what really made Ji Yue receive so much praise was an old incident a hundred years ago. At that time, the Heavenly Sword Sect, which was still in the middle of Zilai, had a high-ranking elder who was happy with his great-grandson on his eight-hundredth birthday, laughing non-stop, and cherishing this grandson even more. Hearing that Ji Yue had been studying the formation for many years, he personally went to Ji Yue's mansion in Jicheng City, promising great benefits and asking him to build a spiritual array for his grandson. But at that time, Ji Yue was building a protective array for Dayan Capital, and it would take at least five years. The elder was easy to say, but Ji Yue, who was stubborn, insisted on refusing, only saying that he was doing things for the country now, and there should be no delay. But after the city protection array is completed, he can build a spirit array for his grandson for free. The elder had a perverse personality and was annoyed and angry, and he actually did it directly in the capital. Ji Yue was only a cultivator of the Seven Realms back then, how could he be the opponent of the Heavenly Sword Sect elder who had already stepped into the immortal realm with half a foot, and a casual blow from such a mountaintop person was a catastrophe for mortals, Ji Yue carried the elder's spell for nearly half an hour in order not to affect the people, and he didn't hide for a moment.

By the time the royal family heard the news, Ji Yue was seriously injured and dying. If it weren't for the efforts of all the imperial doctors of Dayan, and even spent a huge amount of money to buy a pill refined by the Dan God, maybe there would be no Ji Yue in the world.

As soon as this incident came out, Liu Jian, who ignored everything, descended from the virtual realm, abolished the elder on the spot, personally came to the door to apologize, let Ji Yue dispose of it, and promised to pay a huge amount of money. Ji Yue, who was seriously injured in bed, didn't accept it, but just said, "Being able to see the sect master who has swordsmanship and is so sensible is already much more precious than this money." ”

Therefore, after Liu Jian returned to the sect, he negotiated with the Great Yan Emperor and moved the sect to Great Yan, how could the Great Yan Emperor not allow this great good thing? After the matter was settled, nearly 1,000 people from the Heavenly Sword Sect worked together to carry it, and the speed was amazing.

In this way, the Heavenly Sword Sect, known as the No. 1 Sword Gate in the Hongmeng World, spent several years and spent a huge amount of money on Wanji Mountain in the north of the Dayan Dynasty.

The friendship between Ji Yue and Liu Jian has also become a beautiful conversation.

The King nodded to a few people, which was considered a return of the courtesy. As many people know, now is not the time to pay attention to those red tapes, and a simple salute is enough.

The third prince, who had a handsome face and a full body, was a little anxious, and asked quickly, "Uncle Huang, how is my father doing now?"

Ji Yue sighed and said, "I had another asthma this morning, and I couldn't even drink the medicine." Elder Wu also came to the Heart Cultivation Hall as soon as he arrived, and he had already gone in to check for half an hour, so let's see what his old man said. ”

The noble lady behind the third prince had a sad face, almost crying, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty is so eloquent and strategic, and you have worked for the country and the people for so long, why is your life so hard?

Ji Yue didn't know the bottom of his heart, but he could only comfort him softly: "Elder Wu is the Great Elder of the Nine Hanging Sect, and our Great Yan Medicine is the person with the highest Dan Technique, so believe him." ”

At this time, a palace maid opened the door of the Heart Cultivation Hall and said to several people: "Lord Wang, Your Highness, Elder Wu said that you can go in." ”

When several people heard this, they hurriedly walked into the temple, and the two servants stayed outside the temple gate and waited.

The interior of the Heart Cultivation Hall is not very luxurious, it is just the appearance of ordinary rich and noble people, but the hall is filled with a strong bitter smell of medicine. Now the emperor was lying on the bed, his face pale, but still a little ruddy.

Wu Lao, who was old and full of white hair, said in a deep voice to a few people who walked into the hall: "The old man has dredged his qi and blood for His Majesty, and he has decocted the medicine and taken it, and now it is no big deal." ”

The third prince stretched out his arms, his sleeves were like weeping willows, bowed deeply, and said gratefully: "Ji Yun thanked Wu Lao. Wu Lao has great kindness to my Dayan, if he doesn't give up, he will definitely give a heavy gift afterwards. ”

Veteran Wu helped the third prince up and shook his head, "It's too early to say thank you, let's see how the condition is next." ”

The Yunying girl behind the third prince walked up to Wu Lao, there were still some tears in her eyes, and said softly: "Wu Lao, can I say something to my father? I'm afraid that my father doesn't even have anyone to talk to, and it's too lonely to be alone." ”

Wu Lao nodded lightly, "It's okay to say something, just be careful not to make too much noise and disturb Your Majesty." ”

The three of them bowed to the old man and walked towards the bed.

Wu Lao pulled Ji Yue and walked towards a remote place.

Ji Yue slowly opened his mouth and asked in a deep voice, "How long is there?"

Old Wu looked solemn and said decisively, "Unless God Dan comes in person, the old man can only protect His Majesty's situation for a year at most." ”

Ji Yue put his hands behind his back and muttered, "One year is too short." There's no other way?"

Wu Lao shook his head, "Your Majesty's illness is not an ordinary mortal miscellaneous disease, it should be the root of the disease that falls from urinating." In addition, His Majesty has only slept less than three hours a day for more than ten years, and he has contracted lung disease, and he has become more and more sick, and he has already been a rotten wood, and the gods are difficult to save. ”

Ji Yue sighed.

Wu Lao patted the fearful King of Ease, who did not show any old age, and said softly: "The old man has healed countless people in his life, and he has long been accustomed to birth, old age, sickness and death. But he personally sent away an emperor, but there were not a few times. Rest assured, the old man will do his best to let His Majesty live longer. ”

Ji Yue looked at the three princes' family standing beside the bed and asked for warmth, his expression was as usual, and he said lightly: "Their pickled things, I can't reach them when I'm not there." Now that I'm back, if I'm still so shameless, it's no wonder that I cleaned the portal myself. ”

Wu Lao didn't want to pay attention to these things and didn't dare to care, he shook his head, "You can do these things yourself, the old man is a Dan master, he can only refine the pill to save people, your royal family affairs The old man can't afford to mix if he doesn't want to, don't say these words in front of the old man in the future." ”

The palace maid who was waiting by the bedside walked up to Ji Yue, bowed over and said, "Lord Wang, Your Majesty called you over." ”

Wu Lao stroked his beard and said to Ji Yue: "The old man came in a hurry, since His Majesty has nothing to do, he will go to rest first." These days, the old man is also good at studying the prescription. ”

Ji Yue bowed, and when he saw Wu Lao walking out of the main hall, he walked to the bed of Emperor Dayan with the palace maid.

The emperor's spirit was not bad, and when he saw Ji Yue coming, he said to a few people in front of the bed: "It's nothing, let's retreat first." I still have some things to discuss with the prince. ”

When the third prince and the maiden heard this, they got up and knelt down, and the woman bowed, and then the three of them bowed down.

The emperor coughed softly twice, and said weakly, "Coming back?"

Ji Yue sat on the edge of the bed, tightened the quilt on the emperor's body, and replied softly: "Well, I just came back." ”

"Are you still leaving?"

"I'll leave when you're well. ”

The emperor suddenly laughed out loud and asked with a chuckle, "Uncle Huang, how many days do I have left?"

Ji Yue hesitated, but still didn't hide it, "One year." ”

When the emperor heard this, his expression remained unchanged, and he said softly: "There is still one year, which is not short." ”

Ji Yue just looked at him quietly and didn't speak.

The emperor looked at the smoke wafting out of the incense burner in a daze, and suddenly said, "Uncle Huang, do you know everything?" ”

Ji Yue still didn't speak, just took a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp.

The Emperor continued to ask to himself, "Father has always wanted to pass on the throne to you, do you know?"

Ji Yue's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, and then replied lightly: "I know." ”

"I've always been jealous of you, you know?"

"Yes. ”

"A hundred years ago, it was I who did the tricks and feet, and those royal offerings would go so late, you know?"

"Yes. ”

The emperor suddenly stopped, and was stunned for a long time before continuing to speak: "After all these years, do you hate me?" ”

"I hated it before, but I don't hate it now. ”

The emperor stretched out his hand and grabbed Ji Yue, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, trembling a little, but still asked very indifferently: "I have been the emperor for decades, in your eyes, am I competent?"

Ji Yue replied softly: "You did a good job, better than me." ”

The emperor suddenly let go of his hand and let out a long breath, "I have been an emperor for decades, and I have long been enough. If it weren't for Dayan, I would still be inseparable from me, and I would like to be a carefree prince like you, wandering the world and being happy and chic. ”

The Emperor changed his words and continued: "I have heard some of what my sons did. Don't show mercy to your subordinates, you can do whatever you want....." He was suddenly silent, and after a long time, as if he had made up his mind, he said majestically: "Even if you kill it, you don't have to worry that I will find you trouble." ”

Ji Yue stood up straight, looked at his nephew who was older than himself in front of him, couldn't bear it, and said: "I know it in my heart, you can recuperate with peace of mind, don't worry about these worrying things." ”

The emperor nodded, closed his eyes, and slowly spoke: "Uncle Huang, in my life, I am worthy of the entire Dayan, but I am sorry for you." ”

Ji Yue walked slowly to the door of the main hall, as if he didn't hear it, his footsteps never stopped, just walked endlessly.
