Ningzhou Mansion.

Since the trip to Guangji Temple, Situ Bi has fainted for five days, and there is still no sign of waking up. Lu Guangwen trembled every day, for fear that the emperor of their Great Zhou Dynasty would fall on his small Zhizhou Mansion. If that's the case, he has a hundred heads, and it's not enough to cut off! However, except for when the emperor was just sent back, Lu Guangwen visited him once, and after that, Zai Fu controlled the entire Zhizhou Mansion and did not allow anyone to approach the mansion where the emperor lived. Therefore, now except for Zaifu, the chief manager Wan Hai and the imperial doctor who goes in and out every day to take care of the emperor, no one knows what is going on inside. Lu Guangwen had to **** stay outside the main courtyard, praying constantly, hoping that the emperor would wake up as soon as possible and return to the court.

What Lu Guangwen didn't know was that the main courtyard in his mansion, which was not very luxurious and not very spacious, was not the scene he expected at all. The entire courtyard, three layers inside and three layers outside, was densely covered with guards waiting to arrive, and no one was allowed to enter or leave at will, and the news was completely blocked. Situ Bi was still lying on the bed, but he was not in a coma all the time, and sometimes he would wake up, but he couldn't speak, only Wan Hai waited on the side. Situ Xi sat on the Taishi chair for a long time, and the Tai Doctor, who was supposed to treat Situ Bi, was giving Situ Xi a sencha.

"Master Ge's medical skills are excellent, I didn't expect that the skills of making tea are also first-class!" Situ Xi took a sip of the fragrant tea leaves, nodded with satisfaction, and said approvingly.

After receiving Situ Xi's praise, Ge Yun's face was proud: "Thanks to the praise of the adults, as long as the adults do not dislike the craftsmanship of the lower officials!" Ge Yunnai is one of Situ Xi's henchmen, and Situ Bi has been taking poisonous pills. For so many years, no one has been aware of it, and it is all Ge Yun's hands and feet. In Ningzhou this time, according to the regulations, it should be Liu Yingchuan, the head of the Tai Hospital, who accompanied him. Situ Xi deliberately changed the candidate to Ge Yun before leaving the palace, just to facilitate his plan.

Since Situ Bi fainted, Ge Yun has always been responsible for treating him, and he has not said a word about the poisoning. Externally, they claimed that the king of Ziqing had ill intentions and deliberately designed to make people verbally attack the emperor. And the emperor worked day and night for the country and the people. The dragon's body is not good. It can't stand the slightest irritation. Now a toss has led to depression, restlessness, unconscious, and worrying condition. And so it goes. As long as Situ Bi is dead. Situ Mu was charged with killing his father and killing the king.

Situ Xi was drinking tea. While observing Situ Bi, who was lying on the bed, weakly and terrifyingly. This morning, Situ Bi woke up for a while and raised his hand tremblingly. Pointing at Situ Xi, his face was full of anger. It's just that the current emperor is just a fish on the board, just waiting to be slaughtered by Situ Xi's sharp blade. However, Situ Xi's patience was almost exhausted. He lightly clasped the small table of pear blossom wood with his fingers, and asked Ge Yun: "How long can the emperor hold on?" ”

"Back to my lord, it's only half a month at most." Ge Yun replied respectfully.

"Half a month," Situ Xi paused, with a smile on his face, but it made people feel cold all over his body, "Half a month is a bit long, why don't you wait until the crown princess and the imperial grandson go to Ningzhou, and let Your Majesty go west, and save yourself from suffering from illness alive, how about it?" ”

Ge Yun nodded clearly: "Yes, the lower official obeys the order." ”

Wan Hai had been guarding Situ Bi's bedside, and he was indignant when he heard the two of them talking lightly and manipulating Situ Bi's life and death! He has been by Situ Bi's side since he was a child, and the friendship between master and servant is deep, seeing today's situation, he can't help but shout angrily: "Situ Xi, you thief, the emperor is not thin on you, how can you treat him like this?" Over the years, where has Your Majesty treated you badly? You already have the supreme right, what do you think! ”

"Why should I be angry?" In the face of Wan Hai's reprimand, Situ Xi was not angry, and said unhurriedly, "The days when Father-in-law Wan and I met were not short, when I washed the Nine Heavens Divine Palace in blood, Father-in-law Wan also knew. I'm so vicious. Your Majesty treats me well, but since I can do it to my siblings, how can I have so much mercy on Your Majesty? ”

"You ......" Wan Hai trembled angrily, but he didn't know how to refute. Situ Xi's ruthlessness back then, why hadn't he seen it? Over the years, he has eradicated dissidents and consolidated his power, and his methods have never been merciful. Now, Situ Xi's idea has finally hit the emperor, what can he do, a lowly internal official?

Seeing that Wan Hai gradually subsided his anger, replaced by deep helplessness and sadness, Situ Xi said again: "Don't worry, Gonggong Wan, we have known each other for many years. When Your Majesty goes west, if you want to stay in the palace, I will find someone to serve you and provide for you in your old age; If you want to return to your hometown, I will not treat you badly, and I will help you put everything in order. ”

Wan Hai shook his head: "The old slave has been following His Majesty since he was ten years old, and he doesn't want to do anything except wait for His Majesty. Lord Zaifu, if you really want to take Your Majesty's life, take the old slave's life as well, so that I can continue to follow Your Majesty and go there to serve him again. ”

"Then it's up to you." Situ Xi nodded, and then said to Ge Yun again, "Calculate the distance and days, the imperial grandson should be able to arrive tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." Doctor Ge, act as soon as possible. ”

Three days later, in the middle of the night, because Ge Yun had added a poison-stimulating agent to the decoction in the past few days, Situ Bi had already reached the point where he ran out of oil and dried up. This night, his life was coming to an end. Situ Xi deliberately dismissed everyone, and only sat on the edge of the bed to accompany Situ Bi. Xu is because of the return to the light, Situ Bi actually woke up at the last moment, looked at the person he once thought was his confidant, and said: "Situ Xi, no, Nangong Xi, you, you are really good!" ”

"Your Majesty doesn't know what my methods are." Situ Xi was still smiling and groaning, not at all like facing a dying person.

Situ Bi's face was disgraced: "Yes, I dug my own grave with my own hands." Your ambition never ends! From the very beginning, when you approached Chengping and assisted me to ascend the throne, you were not willing to be a courtier for the rest of your life. It's ridiculous that I've been so dependent on you that I don't realize your purpose! ”

"Your Majesty's ambitions, is there an end?" Situ Xi smiled mockingly, "In order to sit on this supreme seat forever, you innocently ask the immortals to ask, you want to live forever, it's really ridiculous!" Once, you were also the emperor of the dominant side, but now, you are so lustful for power that I have been played with to such a point. ”

"The winner is the king, and the loser is the loser, I have lost, I ...... Ahem, ahem, ahem" Situ Bi closed his eyes and coughed violently due to mood swings.

Situ Xi stood up and looked down at the dying emperor: "Don't struggle anymore, why bother to suffer more?" At least Yan'er is your grandson, and this world is still your Situ family, isn't it? ”

"The world ......" Situ Bi's voice became weaker and weaker, "The world ...... Nangong washes, the things of the world are changing rapidly...... You don't think about it, you don't think about it, you don't think about it......" (To be continued.) )
