East Yu Yixiang Palace

Ling Xi, the Duanxiao Empress of Dongyu Kingdom, was lying on the bed, and she knew that her limit was approaching after a long illness. The right prime minister, Ling Mojiao, was already kneeling in front of her bed, Ling Xi raised her head with difficulty, and Ling Momo immediately got up and came to her bedside.

"Zuo Xiang, you go out and tell the Queen Mother that the mourning family doesn't want to see her." Ling Xi said with difficulty.

"The Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager is your niece and the child you raised single-handedly, no matter how your cousin is, she is also the Ling family." Ling Moxuan said excitedly.

"Zuo Xiang, you are mistaken, the Queen Mother, her surname is Ye, not Ling, if Zuo Xiang doesn't want to be surnamed Ling, the mourning family can be fulfilled, so that you will never enter the gate of the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion."

Ling Xi, who was still weak just now, didn't know where he got the strength, and said word by word.

"Auntie, nephew doesn't dare."

Ling Moxuan pounced, knelt on the ground again, and slowly walked into the room to Zhong Xuan, he came to Ling Xi's bed, Ling Xi waved his hand, and Ling Moxuan withdrew from the room.

"Your Majesty is here." Ling Xi said weakly.

"Imperial Grandmother, you have to get well quickly, my country still needs your care." Xiang Zhongxuan said.

Ling Xi looked at the high-spirited young emperor in front of her, although Xiang Zhongxuan was not her own grandson, she was glad that she had cultivated an excellent imperial successor.

"Your Majesty will be an excellent emperor, and there is no need to mourn the family. The mourning family has no time, and there is no way to see His Majesty's great achievements. ”

Tears fell from Ling Xi's face, Xiang Zhongxuan would be a good emperor, but unfortunately she couldn't see it.

Suddenly, Xiang Zhongxuan knelt down in front of Ling Xi's bed, and he said with a solemn expression: "Grandson is bold, please ask the imperial grandmother to help your grandson again." After speaking, Xiang Zhongxuan slammed his head on the ground.

"Please ask Empress Duanxiao to issue a decree prohibiting the Queen Mother from assisting the government."

"I'm sorry, Dongyu has the practice of the Queen Mother's auxiliary government, and the Queen Mother can't interfere." Ling Xi said lightly.

"No, Imperial Grandmother, you can, you are the second titled queen of Dongyu Kingdom, you are the same as the Empress Wusheng, you have the power to rule the country with the emperor, as long as you want, you make a decree, the queen mother has to withdraw from the previous dynasty."

Xiang Zhongxuan cast a hot look at Ling Xi, he hoped too much that his mother Ye Qingqing could withdraw from the previous dynasty, or he also admired his mother Ye Qingqing's strategy and insight, with such a queen mother in the previous dynasty, he would always be the emperor.

"If Your Majesty really wants the Queen Mother to withdraw from the previous dynasty, then go and fight for it yourself, just like the emperors of the Eastern Yu Kingdom in the past dynasties. Your Majesty has only succeeded to the throne for less than two years, and Your Majesty has a lot of time, and the mourning family believes that Your Majesty will not be much worse than the previous emperors. ”

Ling Xi raised her head slightly, she looked at Xiang Hongxuan on the side of the bed, just as Xiang Zhongxuan also looked up at her, the two of them looked at each other, Xiang Zhongxuan carefully recalled Ling Xi's meaningful words just now, and he fell into deep thought.

"Your Majesty has heard of the founding love story of the Heavenly Saint Emperor of the Dongyu Kingdom and the Martial Saint Empress?" Ling Xi said faintly.

"No one in Dongyu Kingdom knows, when the Holy Emperor was still a small soldier, the Martial Saint Empress just glanced at the Heavenly Saint Emperor from a distance on the city tower, and they made a private decision for life, and later the Heavenly Saint Emperor also joined hands with the Martial Saint Queen to build this Dongyu Kingdom, the Martial Saint Queen is not only a queen, the Heavenly Saint Emperor also gave the Martial Saint Queen the power to jointly govern the country, the rivers and mountains and the beauty, the Heavenly Saint Emperor has not lost."

"In fact, the mourning family heard another love story, which was the story that the emperor of Dongyu Kingdom passed on to the next emperor by word of mouth before his death, and Emperor Renrui did not have time to pass it on to Emperor Huiping before he died, he told it to the mourning family." Ling Xi said in a slightly mysterious tone.

"What's the story?" Xiang Zhongxuan asked.

Ling Xi looked at the young Xiang Zhongxuan, a shallow smile leaking from her face.

"Forget it, it's not a good story, Your Majesty still don't listen to it."

Suddenly, Ling Xi coughed a few times, she covered her mouth and nose with a silk handkerchief, a stream of blood spurted out of her mouth, Xiang Zhongxuan hurriedly sat down in front of the bed, and he held Ling Xi in pain in his arms.

"Imperial grandmother, don't talk, take medicine well, you'll be fine."

Xiang Zhongxuan gently patted Ling Xi's back, hoping that Ling Xi would feel better, the room had already lit twice as much silver frost charcoal, but Ling Xi's body still revealed a burst of coldness, Xiang Zhongxuan's eyes couldn't help but moisten, it was obvious that Ling Xi was terminally ill.

"Your Majesty, let the mourning family say, there will be no chance in the future."

Ling Xi coughed a few more times, and she struggled to stand up, leaning heavily into Xiang Zhongxuan's arms.

"Your Majesty, before the mourning family entered the palace, he once had a private agreement with a young man in Tsing Yi for life, and later because of an accident, when the young man in Tsing Yi fought on the battlefield, the mourning family entered the palace, and the palace gate was as deep as the sea.

A look of silence appeared on Ling Xi's pale face, Xiang Zhongxuan had never seen Ling Xi like this, he had the impression that Ling Xi was a woman who could bite through steel, and a queen who could turn a corner no matter what the situation, but now Ling Xi, in addition to the sickly face, is also not as weak as her, maybe this young man in Tsing Yi is a pain in Ling Xi's heart that he doesn't want to mention.

"Imperial Grandmother, I'm going to find him, so that you can see him for the last time."

"He died, died on the battlefield." Ling Xi said indifferently.

A tear from Xiang Zhongxuan fell on the back of Ling Xi's hand, and Ling Xi felt a warm sensation spread to her little by little.

"Imperial grandmother, you tell me, who his family is, I reward them generously, imperial grandmother rest assured, you owe that person, I will help you pay it back."

"No need, the mourning family has already returned it to his family, and the mourning family and him owe nothing in this life."

Ling Xi looked at Xiang Zhongxuan, her tears couldn't stop pouring out, she wanted to reach out to help Xiang Zhongxuan wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, but unfortunately she didn't have the strength to raise her arm.

"Your Majesty, the mourning family can ask you for one thing." Ling Xi said with difficulty.

"If the imperial grandmother has any unfulfilled wishes, I will definitely do it for you."

"When I die, don't bury me in the imperial mausoleum of Emperor Renrui, he already has Concubine Chu De in his underground palace, and it is too crowded for three people to be buried in one underground palace."

"Then I will move Concubine Chu De out, since ancient times, the emperor and queen have to be buried together, why should she be a palace concubine to the underground palace where the emperor and queen are buried together."

"It's because I don't want to be buried with Emperor Renrui."

"Does the imperial grandmother hate the imperial grandfather so much?"

"Your Majesty, I have never hated Emperor Renrui, before Emperor Renrui died, I heard probably the best love words I have ever heard in this life, I just don't want to live too close to them after death."

"Why?"

"Then I'll tell Your Majesty slowly, my story is not long, please be sure to listen to it."
