Zhengde's eyes were sickly burning, staring at Liu Wu'er tightly, Liu Wu'er only paused, and then smiled, "Idiot, the two of us are husband and wife." Husband and wife, one and the same fate, should live and die together, you are long live, naturally you want to live a long life. I'm already old, I'm already old, maybe in a few years, I won't be favored, and then I can only rot and die in the cold palace. Rather than that, it's better to die while you still have a little bit of grace now, so that you can still read me in your heart and remember my name. It is not appropriate to see blood in the palace, I have told the slaves and maids, if you really have anything to do, let them serve me to ascend to heaven with white silk. But I've heard that people who walk like that are very ugly, so you have to remember what I look like now, lest you won't recognize me from above. ”

She grabbed Zhengde's hand, and her little hand gently groped in his palm, as if she was coquettish between lovers. Hearing her say this, Zhengde's gaze softened, and even his breathing became a little steady.

"Wu'er, you're so stupid, I'm just joking with you, why are you taking it seriously? I can't get through this experience, but I want you to live a good life, and you are not allowed to look for short-sightedness, otherwise it will be a rebellion! Even under the Nine Springs, I won't meet you, do you hear? ”

"If you don't listen, I won't listen, I just want to live and die with you." Liu Wu'er snuggled up to Zhengde and said, "If you want me to live longer, get better quickly, if you are immortal, I will not die, how good is this?" ”

"Fool. I don't want to die, I still want to dominate the universe and serve the four people. I'm also thinking about taking the soldiers to the Franc machine and adding a few Hongyi sisters for you. But I'm afraid I won't be able to see that day, Nanjing urges me to drive and preside over the sacrifice to the sky, if I don't die, how can the hearts of those civil servants settle down? Since I ascended the throne, I have re-established the West Factory and set up the Inner Factory to supervise hundreds of officials, collect taxes in Jiangnan, and want to collect all the taxes owed by Su Song and Yangzhou Salt Class. Reuse military ministers, reward side skills, and want to make civil and military equals, and martial artists and literati are on an equal footing. What is the taboo of the literati? I have the four armies in hand, and they don't dare to do anything, but this incident has given them a great opportunity, a chance to replace the perverse faint monarch and set up a virtuous and holy monarch. ”

He gasped for a while, and then said, "The queen mother still hasn't come, has she?" I can imagine that there are so many things in the court, and the outer court has drawn up a charter, so the inner court has to use the treasure. I can't take care of things, and the queen mother has to deal with it on my behalf, so how can I find time to see me? Aifei, guess what, did the queen mother also give up on me? Which vassal king does she like now? Is it King Yi, King Xing or King Shu? ”

"Hooray!" Liu Wu'er's eyes flowed with tears, and he grabbed Zhengde's hand and said: "Long live don't think so, Jiren has his own heavenly appearance, and the Holy Son of Heaven will help you, you will definitely be fine." The Queen Mother just didn't take the time, and when she has time, she will definitely come to see you. You are mothers and sons, the flesh and blood of the world's closest relatives, and you will not be like you think. What is the Rausch Sacrifice to the Heavens? If we don't go, whoever you love will preside, you will stay in the Qianqing Palace to recuperate, and whoever dares to force you to preside over will kill his head! ”

Zhengde smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Just talking stupid things, you, you are usually very smart, but at this time, you have also become stupid." Who are those who want me to preside over the ceremony? When the court is old, the six Shangshu, which of these people dares to kill? Even if I make a will, no one will carry it out. Besides, I really want to preside over the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens, even if the ministers don't urge, I can't stay for myself. ”

Liu Wu'er sent over the ginseng tea, "Long live, say a few words, and nourish your spirits first." You rest first, and the concubine will go to give you the medicine to heat up. ”

"Wu'er, don't go." Zhengde grabbed Liu Wu'er's arm and didn't let her leave. "My time is running out, I've been awake less and less lately, and I don't know when I'm awake next time I'm so awake. I want to talk to you more while I'm sober, stay, and accompany me. ”

"Long live rest assured, the concubine will not go anywhere, just stay by your side to accompany you." Liu Wu'er had tears in her eyes, lying beside Zhengde, and carefully wiped away the blood that overflowed from the mouth and nose of the Son of Heaven with a snow-white silk handkerchief.

Zhengde exhaled with relief, "Don't you understand, even if I don't go anywhere now, can I be cured?" Impossible. Since the start of Nanjing and the return to Beijing, all this has been doomed. The ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens is the most important event of the imperial court and the major event of the country. If I can't attend this ceremony, what does that mean? It means that I can't afford to be sick, I can't see things, and the gods can't be saved. The former came out of the Ning Domain, and in order to pacify the King of Ning, I took a trip to Jiangnan, and it became like this. At present, those vassal kings probably sent a lot of people to the capital to exercise, and the picture is my seat. I listened to the monks of Uszzang and told me about wolves. The wolf king in the wolf pack is majestic and does whatever he wants. But at all times, he has to face the challenge of the young and strong male wolf, and if the old wolf king shows any signs of aging, he will be challenged by the strong male wolf, and he will not only lose his position, but also lose his life. ”

"I'm the wolf king now, if I can't preside over the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky, those vassal kings below will rush up like sharks that smell blood and gnaw me clean. In other words, I don't have anything to gnaw on, but I want to leave a way out for you. ”

He looked at Liu Wu'er, his eyes were full of affection, and his hand trembled and stretched out, wanting to touch Liu Wu'er's hair. But he found that his hand couldn't reach it no matter what, so Liu Wu'er took the initiative to lean his head over, so that his hand touched her hair.

"Do you know why I didn't give you a seal? Because I don't want to hurt you. If I am in good health, I will not only give you a title, but also make you a queen, what about your background in the court, as long as I like it, I must be your mother in the world! But now my body can't protect you, if you are given an identity, when I die, those people will not let you go. Although the martyrdom was canceled during the Ying Temple, the queen or the queen mother wanted to bury a concubine, who can say anything? Besides, even if I detain you in the cold palace for the rest of my life, I can't bear it. You are like a flower born with the aura of heaven and earth, and you should grow freely in the wild, not be imprisoned and withered in this small world. After I die, you can go wherever you want, do whatever you want, even if you get married, it doesn't matter, as long as you are happy, I will be happy. ”

"Long live, no one will marry a concubine. If you have a good one, I will go with you. ”

"What to go! Obedient! After I die, you will give me a good life, and look at what this splendid country will become for me. I hold on to my breath now, that is, I want to arrange a way back for you, whether it is money or people, I will arrange it properly for you, and ensure that there will be no accidents. When everything is arranged, I can go to see my father with peace of mind. ”

Zhengde tried hard to sit up, but in the end, with the support of Liu Wu'er, he reluctantly sat up, looking straight out of the hall. "Yang Tinghe! I think that I get along with your monarch and ministers, just like Zhaolie is to Wuhou, a monarch and a minister, like a fish in water. No matter how ridiculous outsiders say about me, I always feel that you understand me. So, are you tired of me? The future successor, you must have found it, right? I don't know which vassal king you chose, and how well can he cooperate with you? I will watch you from the sky, and look at your family, what will happen! Once a son of heaven and a courtier, do you really think that after changing the emperor, you can still be your first assistant? Sooner or later, you will drink this cup of bitter wine you brewed, and when the time comes, who will be left around you! ”
