Chapter 13: Dead
In the Chengqian Palace, the prince was in front of the emperor's bed with tears, and on the bed, the emperor's face was pale.
After a long time, the emperor's little thumb trembled slightly, and the prince, who felt this subtle change, immediately became excited, "Father! Father, you're awake! ”
In a moment, the emperor slowly opened his cloudy eyes and turned his head to look at the crown prince with great difficulty.
"Huang'er, I ...... I know that Lonely's days are numbered. ”
When he said these words, the emperor seemed to be very difficult, and he had to breathe for a long time to say a word.
The crown prince hurriedly supported the emperor who was struggling to get up, "No, father, you must live longer than Tianqi, no!" ”
"Huang'er...... You are a filial child......" The emperor looked at the crown prince Xiao Shuhuang, and sighed infinitely in his heart, "After I am gone, you must be diligent in government and love the people, and be a good emperor who loves the people like a son...... Got it? ”
But the prince's face was full of hatred, "It's all to blame on those princes!" If it weren't for that nursery rhyme, you wouldn't be seriously ill! When I succeed them, I will kill them all!" ”
"No...... Huang'er ...... "The Emperor's voice sounded extremely weak.
The prince was stunned and looked at the emperor puzzled, why?
Obviously, those princes and kings made their father angry like this, why is his father still speaking for them now?
"Now...... It has aroused the anger of the people, if you continue to torture and kill the princes, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the people, and the water can carry the boat and capsize the boat...... Huang'er, you don't understand this truth......"
The emperor looked at the crown prince with hatred on his face, he was always so confused, so he had to pave the way for him, as for the title of faint monarch, leave it to himself.
Hearing this, the prince nodded in a daze, as if he understood or not, and the emperor sighed and gasped a few times.
"You are already old, this emperor's seat is not so easy to sit on, you must, always remember your identity, you are the emperor, the people's remarks are always the first thing you consider, understand?"
The crown prince nodded, his heart was desolate, and he held the emperor's thin hands tightly, "Father, you get better quickly, Huang'er still needs your guidance, otherwise, Huang'er doesn't know how to govern the great rivers and mountains you left behind." ”
Suddenly, the emperor coughed violently, and the posture was almost terminally ill, and the prince hurriedly took the handkerchief from the handmaid and handed it to the emperor.
When the handkerchief was taken away, it was a dazzling blood red, and the emperor looked at the red on the handkerchief and pulled out an ugly smile.
"Huang'er, my father is tired, my father may have to go first, you ...... You have to ...... Remember the words of my father......"
The emperor's voice gradually became quieter, the prince shook his head desperately, it was difficult to accept all this, he shouted his father in tears, but the emperor's eyes looked at the top of the bed in a daze and stopped breathing......
"The Emperor - died - "
With the mournful cry of the chief manager, all the eunuchs and maids in the room knelt down and cried bitterly.
……
In the dark and damp dungeon, King Qi, dressed in prison clothes, sat on the simple bed, looking at the small window and the sunlight that came in.
"Da Da Da", a sound of footsteps came, King Qi suddenly became alert, and looked at the prince standing at the door of the cell with a hostile face.
"His Royal Highness King Qi, the old slave will let you out, and you are free."
Manager Gao said as he opened the door with the key.
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what are you doing in this filthy place?" King Qi looked at the crown prince without a trace of emotion in his tone.
At this time, King Qi noticed that the crown prince's forehead was actually tied with a white silk, and he suddenly realized something.
"Your Majesty, he ......"
The crown prince nodded sadly, "Father and Emperor have died......"
King Qi also froze in place, seemingly unable to accept this fact.
"My father said that after he left, let me stop embarrassing the princes, so I came to release you......"
King Qi sighed and was speechless.
King Qi was safely put back into King Qi's mansion, and when he saw Princess Qi waiting for him at the door, teary-eyed, King Qi took three steps and two steps, and hugged the princess into his arms.
"Man'er ......"
The princess also cried silently in King Qi's arms.
The two hugged each other and returned to the hall, and the princess who heard that the emperor had died was also shocked, who would have thought that the emperor would die so soon.
"I didn't expect Fuhui, this kid, to really rescue you."
King Qi told the princess that the emperor was sick because he heard the nursery rhymes sung among the people, and finally died.
Hearing this, King Qi didn't quite understand, "What does the emperor's death have to do with Fuhui?" ”
The princess told King Qi about Fuhui's purchase of the little beggar.
Fuhui was still young, and she didn't expect such a thing to cause the emperor's death all of a sudden, she just thought that the emperor could be forced to release King Qi under pressure.
Now, King Qi has been let go, but the emperor is also angry.
"Hey-" King Qi sighed, "It's no wonder that Fuhui is doing this, she is kind." Thanks to Fuhui, I was able to save my life. ”
The princess burst into tears and laughed, it seems that Fuhui, this child, is really a little lucky star.
……
"Fuhui! Let's see what my mother has brought you? ”
Mama Qiao smiled and came to Fuhui with her hands behind her back, and Fuhui got up from the ground excitedly, her eyes shining in anticipation.
Suddenly, Mama Qiao took out an ingots from her back as if she was playing a trick, and stuffed it into Fuhui's hand with a heavy weight.
"Mother...... What is it? ”
"This is the princess's reward for you, your method has worked, the emperor really put His Royal Highness King Qi back."
Fu Hui smiled happily at this time, but she lowered her head and looked at the ingots in her hand, and still stuffed them into Mama Qiao's hand.
"Mother, you should help me collect this money, I'm still young, it's useless to ask for this money."
Fu Hui knew in her heart that if Mama Qiao hadn't helped protect herself in the house, I was afraid that this girl would have been embarrassed to death by someone in the house, and Mama Qiao could afford this money.
Mama Qiao looked at Fuhui in embarrassment, and after a while, she still compromised, "Okay, then my mother will help you collect it first." ”
Since she had Fuhui, her life has been a lot smoother, and Mama Qiao also knows that Fuhui is a sensible child.
As for the money, Mama Qiao helped her collect it first, naturally she wouldn't spend it indiscriminately, don't look at Fuhui's young age now, and there will be a place to use the money in the future.
In the blink of an eye, time flies, and the little Fuhui became an eighteen-year-old girl in a blink of an eye, and the child in the original princess's womb grew up safely.
is a twelve-year-old little county lord, because there was goose feather snow on the day he was born, the princess named the little county lord Xiao Ruoxue.
Ruoxue is a beautiful and demure name, but the character of the little county lord is very different from the name.
