Chapter 473: Last Words

As soon as he heard Xiao Wenyao explain that the emperor's situation was worrying, everyone who immediately followed into the secret passage sank in their hearts.

Especially Zhou Xianyu, even if he and Emperor Ming have been deeply rooted in the heart for more than ten years, but when it is really time to say goodbye to this father and emperor, his heart is still full of reluctance and discomfort.

When Zhou Xianyu thought of the death of his mother and concubine, the bits and pieces between him and Emperor Ming, his father.

It was only at this time that he realized that no matter how indifferent his words or abrupt behavior he had been in the past, what this father had given him was always tolerance and protection.

People are often like this, and it is only when they are about to lose that they can realize how precious some things they have been accustomed to in the past.

Therefore, when I thought in my heart, what I might see in my heart would be Emperor Ming's completely stiff and lifeless body, and I couldn't help but feel more and more unbearable pain in my heart.

When Xiao Yijun ordered Xiao Yijun to lead 3,000 men and horses to continue to move forward, he took Xiao Jinxuan with Xiao Jinxuan first, and rushed towards the other end of the secret passage.

And getting rid of the large force with a slow marching speed, it didn't take long for Zhou Xianyu to rush to the other end of the secret passage with Xiao Jinxuan.

And because the secret passage was very dark, before Zhou Xianyu could see the surrounding environment clearly through the torch, suddenly a sharp knife stabbed at him.

But don't look at the menacing fall of this knife, in fact, in the eyes of an insider like Zhou Xianyu, there is simply no move at all, so he just flicked two fingers, and then blocked the sharp knife that was slashing at him.

And because Zhou Xianyu used a little internal force between his fingers, he saw that the person who was attacking with a sharp knife was not only forced to retreat a few steps, but also sat on the ground all at once.

But despite this, the man still stood up again, and the other party's mouth was even more angry:

"Xiao Xiao rebels, the saint is the son of today, if you dare to hurt the emperor, it will be a big crime to punish the nine clans. With me Deng Chang here, unless you step over my corpse, don't think about moving the saint. ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhou Xianyu immediately hurriedly handed the torch forward.

Looking at the person who struggled to get up from the ground again, and held a knife, shouting in his mouth, "The slave is loyal to the master" and attacked desperately again, it was indeed Deng Chang, the former head of the palace.

This time, Zhou Xianyu naturally wouldn't hurt Deng Chang, and easily knocked down the sharp knife in the opponent's hand, so he hurriedly shouted:

"Mr. Deng, you can see clearly, there are no rebels attacking, I am Zhou Xianyu, the Seventh Prince Xianyu who you have watched grow up since childhood. Don't worry I'm coming, I won't let those people who are guilty of rebellion hurt my father in the slightest. ”

For five or six days, he was hidden in a dark secret passage, and this depressing feeling was that ordinary people would be driven crazy even if they stayed for a day and a night.

Especially the day before yesterday, Xiao Wenyao went out to look for food and water again, but he didn't come back.

Deng Chang, who was deeply afraid that the other party had already been captured, thought that Xiao Wenyao was still a child after all, if he couldn't stand the intimidation and leaked the secret passage, Emperor Ming's situation would become precarious.

Therefore, Deng Chang has been in a state of high tension in the past few days, but any wind and grass can scare him out of a cold sweat.

Therefore, as soon as Xianyu and Xiao Jinxuan rushed over this week, the sound immediately made Deng Chang mistakenly think that the rebels had come in, so in order to protect the safety of Emperor Ming, he couldn't help but say that he would cut it with a knife.

When Deng Chang heard Zhou Xianyu's familiar voice in his ears, when he took the torch, he could be regarded as seeing Xiao Jinxuan and the others who came first.

Immediately, I saw Deng Chang, who had been in the palace for many years and had long been trained to be extremely capable and calm in everything, and he would look at Zhou Xianyu and shed tears.

Immediately afterwards, he lifted the palace robe of the inner servant, knelt on the ground straight and cried unbearably:

"Your Royal Highness, it's good that you're here, the servants are useless and can only watch the emperor suffer and suffer, but there is nothing they can do. Your Majesty is now sober and confused for a while, and he can't hold it anymore. But all the master's mouth is talking about you, the prince, the emperor has been holding on to his breath and refusing to leave, and now he can be regarded as looking forward to you. ”

Perhaps because of the connection between father and son, when he rushed to the secret passage, Zhou Xianyu felt a burst of sourness in his heart, and even he, who had never cried lightly, actually had the urge to cry.

And this will be after listening to Deng Chang's words, Zhou Xianyu felt even more uncomfortable, and hurriedly followed the direction pointed by the other party.

Walked quickly, beside Emperor Ming, who was lying on a fur cushion.

Emperor Ming was the king of a country in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and when his life was about to come to an end, he not only had to hide in the secret passage, but he was also seriously ill but only had a leather cushion to live in.

The other party's bleak scene immediately made Zhou Xianyu's eyes slightly red.

Slowly helped Emperor Ming up, looked at the white hair between the other party's temples, and hugged Zhou Xianyu who held the father emperor tightly in his arms, until now he suddenly realized that the other party was so old.

Gently shook Emperor Ming's shoulder, looking at the other party still did not open his eyes, Zhou Xianyu endured the pain for a long time, and suddenly felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart, and immediately his tears couldn't help falling.

It is said that men don't flick when they have tears, but when they are about to be separated from their biological father forever, Zhou Xianyu suddenly felt that he was really a bastard, and in the past few years, he was too unfilial.

After all, when his mother, Emperor Fu Yingyue, fell from the city gate, Zhou Xianyu actually always knew in his heart that his father did his best, and the sadness of the other party's loss of his beloved was not mixed with a trace of fraud.

But for Zhou Xianyu, the loss of his mother at a young age was really unbearable for him.

Therefore, in his heart, he not only hated Empress Xue, who forced Concubine Rou to death, but also transferred this resentment and grievance to Emperor Ming.

And the knot that has not been opened for decades, when Emperor Ming was about to die, Zhou Xianyu found out how reluctant he was to part with the other party.

Therefore, I saw that Zhou Xianyu suddenly put his hand on Emperor Ming's back, and then conveyed the pure internal force in his body to the other party without reservation.

And under the nourishment of this internal force, Emperor Ming, whose vitality was about to be exhausted, immediately slowly woke up.

After his consciousness regained a little consciousness, Emperor Ming felt that his face was a little moist, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that he was lying in the arms of Zhou Xianyu's son, and the other party was silently shedding tears.

At this time, Emperor Ming clearly realized that the moist feeling on his face was actually the tears shed by this son who had always been at odds with him.

Slowly raised his hand with difficulty, and then saw Emperor Ming show a loving smile as a father, and helped Zhou Xianyu carefully wipe away the tears on the other party's face.

"You child, I haven't seen you crying since I beat your mother and left. This is the sun hitting the west and coming out, you know that the bastard boy who made his father angry can shed tears for me. In the end, he is a good son of me and Yingyue, and it is not in vain that my father has loved you for so many years. ”

As soon as he saw that Emperor Ming woke up, Zhou Xianyu was immediately overjoyed.

Then he used the pure internal force, regardless of his own increasingly pale face because he couldn't bear the rapid loss of internal force, and continued to transmit the internal force into the body of this father.

"Old man, I didn't cry because of you because the dust of this secret passage was so dusty. Since I'm here, I won't make anything happen to you. When the rebellion is cleared up for you, you will continue to sit on that dragon chair and be your emperor. Anyway, I don't want you to be fine, you have to survive. ”

The father-son relationship that has been estranged for decades, even at this point, Zhou Xianyu still can't say anything about Emperor Ming.

However, even if Zhou Xianyu's tone was still as bad as ever, the worry between this son's words, Emperor Ming was not confused, he could still feel it.

And Emperor Ming, who saw this, suddenly sat up by himself, and he was out of breath after just a few words, which not only breathed evenly, but also his face became more and more ruddy.

But looking at Emperor Ming's obvious change in complexion, Zhou Xianyu's heart sank.

After all, he had seen countless dead and wounded on the battlefield for a long time, and he clearly knew that his father, the emperor, was now simply returning to the light, and the time limit was approaching.

As for what is the condition of his body, Emperor Ming naturally knows best.

Therefore, seeing him sitting up, he immediately shook his head and signaled Zhou Xianyu not to consume his internal strength, and then beckoned to Xiao Jinxuan, who was standing aside, and asked the other party to come to him.

"Since you two children came together, the matter of the wedding must have been clarified after all. Originally, for the sake of Xianyu's reputation, I really didn't want you to have anything to do with my son, Jinxuan, so that it would do you two and even Xianrui all kinds of harm and no benefit. ”

Although Emperor Ming said disapproving words in his mouth, he suddenly took Zhou Xianyu's hand first, and then handed Xiao Jinxuan's hand to the other party's palm, and then continued:

"But Xianyu Jinxuan, when my father saw you standing in front of me at the same time, I realized that I seemed to be wrong. Seeing you is like seeing yourself and the moon of the year. And you are different from your father, I am the king of a country, and many things often give up on myself, and I also have to focus on the country. But you are different, your father understands that you are a child, and the imperial throne is not what you care about, so take Jinxuan's hand and do what you want to do. Don't follow the old path of your father and your mother, I really don't want you to experience this kind of loss of love and loneliness for a lifetime. ”

When Emperor Ming instructed Zhou Xianyu a lot, he suddenly saw him nodding to Deng Chang on the side, and the latter immediately handed over a small package.

And when Emperor Ming signaled Zhou Xianyu to open the small package, it turned out to be the jade seal of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"When your imperial uncle escaped from the secret passage, I didn't dare to ask him to take him away easily for fear that he would make a mistake. Now that you are here, you can finally hand over this heirloom jade seal to your fifth brother for your father and emperor unhindered. After all, without the Jade Seal, even if he holds my edict of succession, it will be unjustified after all. Originally, I wanted to wait for the kid to enter the palace when the kid from Xianrui rebelled, and I personally handed over the jade seal to him, and established his identity as the prince to ascend the throne in public, but now my father is going to reunite with your mother, and there is no way to wait for the kid to come. However, before leaving, I was able to see you, and my father felt that God still favored me. ”
