Gu Nian followed Xiao Yue out of the palace, got into the carriage, and returned to the palace.

She thought back to the Emperor's summons.

She knew that this was the last and last scene.

Those words, originally Emperor Yongping wanted to say to Xiao Yue. Perhaps, he just wanted to find someone to say a few words.

From leaving the palace to after dinner, Xiao Yue didn't say a word, Xu Er felt his father's dullness, after finishing the meal, he tried his best to make Xiao Yue happy, until bedtime, he couldn't hide his yawn, and refused to leave.

Gu Nian had to coax him and let him take him to sleep.

Xu'er was not there, and only the husband and wife were left in the house, and they finally got some time to get along.

Gu Nian hugged his waist, looked at him and said, "Today, Your Majesty asked Gonggong Yu to pass us in, and said a few words......

She repeated what Emperor Yongping said, and finally said, "Your Majesty didn't ask me to pass on the message to you, but I think he should want you to know in his heart." ”

Gu Nian was dissatisfied with His Majesty's willful behavior, and he also couldn't understand his single-mindedness.

He knew that Xiao Yue didn't want him to see Xu'er, but he still asked Xiao Yue to leave, and asked Father-in-law Yu to summon him to take Xu'er into the palace.

He knew he couldn't refuse his summons.

It's just that things have happened, and she doesn't want to see Xiao Yue and Emperor Yongping clashing again as before.

That night, in the dark night, in the dark, Xiao Yue seemed to have never touched the hairy boy, reckless, impatient, impatient, extremely powerful, in the end, he let out a long breath, hugged Gu Nian, and fell asleep deeply.

This spring night seems to have the power to make people calm.

Gu Nian curled up in his arms and slowly fell asleep.

In the second half of the night, she woke up and found herself sleeping alone in bed, Xiao Yue was nowhere to be found.

She got up and got out of bed and walked out, the astragalus outside was sitting and dozing, she gently pushed and let the astragalus go to sleep.

After that, she put on a shirt, took a thin cloak, and went out, only to see Xiao Yue sitting on the steps outside the door, and the moonlight in the sky shone on his body, fainting a white light.

Gu Nian walked over, draped the thin cloak on Xiao Yue's body, and then sat beside him.

Xiao Yue stretched out his hand, took her in his arms, wrapped her in a cloak, and under the moonlight, the figures of the two people were in one place, turning into a ball.

"Do you blame me for being ruthless?" Xiao Yue asked abruptly.

Gu Nian shook her head, how could she blame him?

His life, because of Emperor Yongping, is like a joke.

Maybe Emperor Yongping was forced to do so, but for Xiao Yue, what did he know? How innocent is he?

Flesh and blood are separated, and they don't recognize each other.

If Emperor Yongping hadn't been the emperor, would Xiao Yue have become the 'Living Yama King' in the capital that even children are afraid of?

Although he gave Xiao Yue a lesson and even took him with him, how could the role of a father be replaced by anyone?

Xiao Yue sighed lowly, lowered his head, his lips lightly touched her neck, and his arms hugged her inch by inch.

"Nian Nian, I don't know what I did in my last life, I have cultivated blessings, and I can have your company in this life."

Gu Nian stared at the man in front of him in the moonlight, and his smile slowly bloomed

"Maybe it's not that you're blessed, but it's that I, who spent several lifetimes meeting you. So, I'm relying on you. ”

Xiao Yue was slightly stunned, and then took her words as a joke, although he was depressed in his heart, he also laughed.

"Let's go in, tomorrow, let's send Xu'er to the palace again, and let him accompany His Majesty again, okay?" Gu Nian said softly.

Xiao Yue didn't speak, but went to Xu'er's room with Gu Nian, and when he arrived at the bed, he looked at the little man who was sleeping on the bed.

Gu Nian kissed Xu Er lightly on the forehead, and after raising his head, he motioned for Xiao Yue to kiss him too, but Xiao Yue didn't kiss him, just reached out and gently touched his little face.

The next morning, Xu Er learned that he was going to enter the palace to see the imperial grandfather again, he looked at Xiao Yue, and then whispered in Gu Nian's ear,

"If I go there, will Daddy be upset?"

Xu'er's eyes opened wide after asking, looked at Gu Nian, and waited for her to answer.

Gu Nian touched his head, "No, that time my father suddenly saw that we weren't at home......"

Xu'er's eyes lit up, "I know, Daddy is afraid of being alone at home, isn't he?" Just like when Xu'er slept alone, she also felt scared, mother, you stay at home with your father, and Xu'er will go alone. ”

Gu Nian was thinking about how to fool him, but she didn't expect her son to ask and answer herself, she breathed a sigh of relief, put on a coat for Xu'er, and handed him over to Yang Shun.

"Take good care of him, and I'll be back at noon." Gu Nian said.

Yang Shun nodded vigorously, patted his chest and promised that he would definitely take care of Xu'er.

In the palace, Emperor Yongping saw Yang Shun taking Xu'er into the palace, and after a short period of surprise, he asked Father-in-law Yu to carry Xu'er to the bed, and the two talked together.

Xu Er tilted his head and stared at Emperor Yongping beside him, Emperor Yongping raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why does Xu Er look at Emperor Grandfather like this." ”

"Imperial grandfather, are you a bad person?" Xu'er whispered.

When Emperor Yongping heard this, he was stunned for a moment and replied, "Why did Xu'er ask like that?" ”

"My father came to pick me up yesterday, and he hasn't been very happy ever since......"

Emperor Yongping looked at the innocent eyes that stared at him on the other side and smiled.

"Xu'er, are you happy?" Emperor Yongping asked.

"Xu'er is happy, because I also have an imperial grandfather, but my father is not happy......" He furrowed his eyebrows, which were very similar to Xiao Yue, as if he was very distressed.

Emperor Yongping looked at the little face in front of him, was distracted for a moment, and said, "In this life, the emperor's grandfather is sorry for many people, he is not a good person.

But the emperor's grandfather worked hard to be a good emperor. Xu'er, as long as you're happy. ”

Xu Er seemed to understand whether she understood or not, but nodded vigorously.

Emperor Yongping smiled, stretched out his hand, and touched his head.

*

In the spring of the twenty-sixth year of Chengping, the emperor who lingered on the sickbed finally reached the final dying, and since the emperor vomited blood and fell ill, he never left the heart palace for half a step.

Zhang Chunzi has been staying in front of Emperor Yongping's sickbed, Emperor Yongping has been in a coma for two days and two nights, and today, it is difficult to feed the ginseng soup that has been continuously killed.

In addition to Zhang Chunzi, there are also imperial doctors who have been waiting in the Heart Cultivation Palace.

It's just that this time, the imperial doctor looked at Emperor Yongping on the dragon couch as if he had slept past, and his face showed a look of panic.

Seeing that the ginseng soup could not be poured in, Father-in-law Yu suppressed the sorrow that welled up in his heart, and he said to Zhang Chunzi, "Needle." ”

Zhang Chunzi, who was sitting at the end of the bed with his hands in his hands, took out the golden needle he was carrying, and according to what Yu Gonggong said, the last needle was applied to gather and pull out the last essence of Emperor Yongping, just like returning to the light.

Finally, Emperor Yongping's eyes slowly opened.

Father-in-law Yu saw it, pounced, and hurriedly called "Your Majesty......" His voice trembled slightly, holding the bowl of ginseng soup, and wanted to feed it to him.

Emperor Yongping's hoarse voice whispered, "Put it down." ”

"I seem to have sat in a long dream, dreaming of the first time I saw Yun Niang, how beautiful it was at that time......" he sighed softly.

Father-in-law Yu knew that this was Emperor Yongping's last energy, and he lowered his head and wiped his tears.

Seeing this, Emperor Yongping said, "Don't be sad, people always have to go through this." Go and call the prince and them in. ”

Father-in-law Yu choked up and bowed out.

The crown prince, the cabinet chief assistant and others were hurriedly summoned later, and when they arrived, outside the heart cultivation hall, there was already a person standing outside the palace.

That figure, straight and lonely, standing there, motionless, was Xiao Yue, the king of Jin.

Inside, Emperor Yongping was lying on his back, as if he could no longer speak, his eyes were half-open and half-closed, and on the side, Yu Gonggong was holding the holy decree in his hand, standing at the end of the bed, his eyes were red and swollen.

Father-in-law Yu stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty's dictation, the holy decree of succession, and Xiao Yue, the king of Jin, read it." ”

Xiao Yue took a step forward, took the holy decree in his father-in-law's hand, unfolded it, and said loudly, "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said...... The crown prince succeeded to the throne......"

All the people in the palace knelt down with the prince and fell to the ground.

The content of the holy decree, as well as the emperor's explanation of everything from simplicity, to replace the month with the day, the subjects of the world can go out of the funeral on the 27th, there is no limit to marriage, all harem concubines, exempt from martyrdom, proper support, etc.

After everyone received the order, they retreated, and the prince looked at Xiao Yue, his lips moved, and he turned to go out.

Xiao Yue put away the holy decree in his hand, pinched it in his hand, and never gave it to the prince, nor did he return it to his father-in-law.

He took a step and walked towards the door of the temple, step by step, slowly, as if unusually dignified.

As he reached the door, he stopped and slowly turned around.

Emperor Yongping on the dragon couch didn't know when he opened his eyes and faced outward.

His two lines of sight seemed to be glued to the tall figure at the door.

Xiao Yue paused, suddenly turned around, and walked quickly to the dragon couch.

Xiao Yue knelt in front of the dragon couch, made a big salute upright, his forehead touched the ground, and for a long time, his figure remained motionless.

Emperor Yongping stretched out his cold and thin hand and stroked his head for a moment, revealing a look of relief that he had never seen for a long time in his eyes.

A vague smile appeared on his lips, and he let out a long breath and slowly closed his eyes.

Xiao Yue raised his head, finally put his whole face on the back of that hand, and called out in a low voice, "Father." ”

The corners of Emperor Yongping's mouth moved slightly, and his expression was serene.

In the spring of the twenty-sixth year of Chengping, in the northeast corner of the palace, there was a sudden sound of bells, a total of nine, and the bells echoed in the capital, for a long time.

The people of the capital are no strangers to such bells.

The whole city has long been under martial law, and every household has hung white flags. In an instant, the capital was already full of vegetarian food, and crying was everywhere.

When Xu Er heard the bell, she asked Gu Nian ignorantly, why.

Gu Nian hugged him and said, "Because someone is free from pain and goes to Elysium." ”

In this life, for Xiao Yi, he has all kinds of tastes, and when he goes underground, I hope he will not mistake Yun Niang again.

When Xu Er heard this, she seemed to understand something, her eyes widened, and she looked at Gu Nian blankly.

He thought of the imperial grandfather he had been with these days, and he said that he had been sick for a long time and would leave him one day, and at that time, the imperial grandfather hoped that he would not be sad, because he had gone to find the person he loved deeply.

Gu Nian hugged the stunned Xu'er and changed his clothes into the ones that his grandson should wear.

Emperor Yongping died, and the crown prince succeeded him.

With the relationship between Xiao Yue and the crown prince, Xiao Yue's status will definitely not be shaken.

As for the ascension, he is already a prince, and if he rises again, he will be the emperor.

It has already risen to the top, so it is better to be still than to be still.

After the death of Emperor Yongpei, he was not buried in the imperial mausoleum, but found a place alone, and that place was facing the direction of Izumoji Temple.

Emperor Yongping, now, can only be called the first emperor, the funeral of the first emperor, although there is a will from Jane, but, after all, it is the Son of Heaven, no matter how to be simple, this funeral still lasted for half a month.

After the funeral, the 27th day of the first emperor's posthumous remark has passed.

The whole world has been abolished, and the people have not been affected by the emperor's death, that is, the imperial court, in the past two years, because of the delegation of power to the prince, it has been too smooth.

Everything was so well organized.

Before the first emperor died, Xiao Yue did it, and later, Xiao Yue told Gu Nian personally, and Gu Nian knew that for Xiao Yue, in his heart, at that moment, he really let go.

Although she was not on the side at that time, and Xiao Yue did not describe it in detail, Gu Nian believed that the first emperor should be the same.

At the moment before the first emperor died, his heart must have been longed for for a trace of comfort, and when he left, he should also be relieved.

After the national funeral, the crown prince ascended the throne as Emperor Yongkang, the year name, Zhaoyuan.

During the state funeral, the four princes and the three princesses who were locked up in Huangjue Temple asked to return to Beijing to send the first emperor a ride, but they were all rejected by the prince.

Say, this is the will of the first emperor, the four princes and the three princesses, never go out of the Huangjue Temple for life.

Xindi ascended the throne, granted amnesty to the world, and divided the royal family and concubines of the harem one by one, and at the same time canonized the crown princess as the queen, and rewarded the meritorious noble family.

And he did not crown the eldest grandson of the emperor as the crown prince.

The day after the enthronement ceremony, the woman was ordered to enter the palace to meet the queen.

Before dawn, Gu Nian got up and was busy, Xu'er was still asleep, Gu Nian asked Yang Shun to guard and take care of it carefully.

She put on the princess's dress, and there were heavy ornaments on her head, and she walked a little heavy, and then used some snacks as much as she could, but she didn't dare to drink too much water, and then she went into the palace in a carriage.

When I arrived in the palace, it was a group of women who were wearing solemn dresses, bowing to the queen, and then following the queen to Yongfu Palace to meet the queen mother.

After a busy day, after everything was over, the sky had already darkened, and Gu Nian returned to the house at this time, feeling that the whole person was about to collapse to the ground.

As soon as she returned to the mansion, before she could change into her heavy dress, she heard someone outside report that the eldest princess of Changning and the girl of the Mo family were here.

Gu Nian almost wanted to roll her eyes, she took a breath, asked Astragalus and Qingye to take off the dress on her body quickly, changed into ordinary clothes, and hurriedly went to the side hall to see the eldest princess of Changning.

Gu Nian actually knew a little about the intention of the eldest princess of Changning, since Mo Fei met Gu Shi'an three years ago, he was full of heart for Gu Shi'an.

But Gu Shi'an even forgot who she was.

Mo Fei was in the right age, but because of Gu Shi'an, she became a big girl in such a slump.

The eldest princess of Changning told her a lot of people, but Mo Fei couldn't look down on any of them, and only Gu Shi'an was in her eyes.

This time, the eldest princess of Changning came to the door, probably for Mo Fei's business.
