In the Tai'an Palace, Emperor Showa was served by Fusheng and put on a simple and comfortable brocade robe, these days he has been in bed to recuperate, almost never out of the Tai'an Palace, he is very relieved to hand over the government to Zhao Ling, and although there are always some people in the harem who do not score, as long as he does not die for a day, those people can't make any waves.

In general, although he was in poor health and limited in energy, everything was not out of his control, but the sudden incident that happened today surprised him a little.

I really didn't expect that the two children of the Chu family had such a deep relationship, such a pure brother and sister relationship, even he couldn't help but feel a little envious when he saw it.

Fusheng was worried about Emperor Showa's body, and while waiting for Emperor Showa to clean his hands and face, he persuaded and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you let the slave order someone to carry that person here, you really shouldn't move around now, it's better to still recuperate." ”

Listening to Fusheng's concerned tone, Emperor Showa said with a rare gentle smile on his face: "I have felt much better these days, didn't the imperial doctor say it, I can still go out for a walk occasionally; If this kind of thing happens in the palace, it must not be long before Ling Er will enter the palace for this matter, and I can't carry her here, otherwise, with Ling Er's resourcefulness, I am afraid that I will notice something. ”

Fusheng thought of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and he also agreed with Emperor Showa's words in his heart; But, is Emperor Showa's body really as good as he said? Others may not know, but he knows very well that although Emperor Showa's condition is under control, his body is extremely decaying, and at this rate, I am afraid it will not last long.

That's why he was in such a hurry to do this.

Fusheng knew that his persuasion was ineffective, and he could only let Emperor Showa do it by his temperament, and after serving Emperor Showa well, Fusheng called the palace attendants who were waiting in the palace and explained: "If someone comes to see Your Majesty, say that Your Majesty has just taken the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor, and is resting at this time, and it is inconvenient to be disturbed; Even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asks to see him, he has to make the Prince wait, understand? ”

The palace attendant received the order and immediately retreated in an orderly manner.

Emperor Showa looked at Fusheng with satisfaction, and sighed that he was worthy of being a confidant who had served him for many years, what was he thinking in his heart, he could hide his son, but he couldn't hide it.

Fusheng helped the dressed Emperor Showa and walked out through the side door of Tai'an Palace; There was already a step prepared there, and after Emperor Showa sat on it, he was carried to the Ninghe Palace, which was not far from Tai'an Palace.

Ninghe Palace has been idle for many years, although the geographical location in the palace is good, but for some reason, the emperors of the Great Wei Dynasty did not like this palace very much, so they never arranged any beauties to live here; It's just that today, the Ninghe Palace, which has been quiet for many years, was suddenly opened, because it has been uninhabited for many years, the palace is full of a scene of decay, even if it is hurriedly cleaned up, the depression everywhere is still difficult to hide.

Zhou Yanran felt that her whole body was cold, her limbs were stiff and weak, and the warm feeling representing life seemed to be slipping away quietly from her body with the passage of time; She could feel that she was dying.

In fact, she has long seen death, people can't avoid life and death for a lifetime, but some people will die earlier, and some people will die later; She had thought about how she would die in the future; Old death? Or is it sick and dead?

I thought about it a lot, but I never thought that she would die in such a situation and in this way.

Zhou Yanran's face showed a self-deprecating look, and her eyes, which were already a little cloudy, were also full of sadness that only she could understand; Recalling what she had experienced before she fell, it was so ridiculous to think about this moment.

She was conceited and smart, but she didn't expect that she would be foolish for a while, and she would stupidly believe that that person would really help her, believe what that person said, and naively act as a pawn that could be sacrificed at any time according to that person's plan, thinking that as long as she worked hard, she would be able to succeed what she wanted; But in the end? And what did she get? Did you really get what you wanted?

Hehe! …… Hehehe!

She angered people who should not be angered, and used her self-righteous handle to threaten and fight for it, but in exchange for the price of her life; At this moment, Zhou Yanran, who never knew what regret was, began to regret it, regretted her persistence over the years, regretted that she had taken a wrong step, and regretted that in the end, she was still obsessed.

Zhou Yanran moved her stiff fingers, she wanted to touch the warm sun with temperature, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't touch it; She could only reluctantly turn her head and look at the dazzling sunlight shining into the gray hall through the mottled window railing, but she herself was lying alone on the ground, with no relatives around her, and no one to say a word for her upcoming departure.

Zhou Yanran felt that it was time for her to accept her fate, she slowly closed her eyes, waiting for death to come; However, the moment she closed her eyes, she heard heavy footsteps coming towards her.

Is that him?

In an instant, Zhou Yanran's heart immediately flooded with hope, she almost used all her strength to open her eyes suddenly, and then turned her head to look in the direction of the sound; However, when she saw who was coming, her glittering eyes suddenly darkened, and a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth; I really didn't expect that in the last lesson of her life, the person who came to see her off on her last journey would be him?!

Emperor Showa was supported by Fusheng and walked towards Zhou Yanran, who was lying motionless on the ground, he knew that she was not dead yet, so he would come to see her on a whim.

Fusheng brought a stool, helped Emperor Showa to sit down, and then exited the main hall.

Zhou Yanran slowly closed her eyes, she really didn't want to look at him again, even if this person was the Ninth Five.

Emperor Showa seemed to know what Zhou Yanran was thinking in her heart, and he was not in a hurry to say anything, but looked at her still young and immature face and looked at it carefully; To tell the truth, at her age, it is the best time in life, as brilliant as a flower, as vigorous as a rushing stream; However, lying on the ground at the moment, she was dead, and there were vicissitudes between her eyebrows and eyes, as if she had experienced a lot of lives at such a young age and had seen through the world.

But if you think about it, this woman has experienced a lot, although she is not very old, but the past scenery along the way is something that many people can't experience and see in their lifetime.

Speaking of which, he is also a poor person, but he has done too many hateful things.

Zhou Yanran felt that the surroundings were very quiet, so quiet that he could hear Emperor Showa's heavy and short breathing, judging by the sound, Emperor Showa's body should have lost a lot, thinking that it would not be long before this man would die with him, Zhou Yanran's indignant heart was finally a little more comfortable.

After so much, how could she not see that in this man's heart, she had no place from beginning to end, and even in the end, it seemed that his kindness to her was just trying to use her.

After being silent for too long, Zhou Yanran opened the corners of her dry lips, and finally took the initiative to say a word to Emperor Showa: "Your Majesty came to see the concubine for the last time, and the concubine was very surprised." ”

Listening to the rough and weak voice coming out of Zhou Yanran's voice, Emperor Showa's eyebrows and eyes did not fluctuate at all, but in her heart, she recalled her original delicate voice and felt a little nostalgic.

Emperor Showa looked at Zhou Yanran, who was lying quietly on the ground, and said, "I think I should come and see you." ”

Zhou Yanran opened her eyes and turned her eyes to look at him: "Look at the concubine?" Your Majesty, until now, is Your Majesty still unwilling to tell the truth to your concubines? If the concubine guessed correctly, at this time, the news that the concubine was killed by Chu Shizi has already begun to spread outside; All this was His Majesty's plan, including the death of the concubine; Your Majesty, you have never had a concubine in your heart, and naturally you don't care about the life and death of the concubine, so you sent someone to find the concubine at the beginning, gave the concubine hope, and let the concubine make a move against the prince of Chu; It's a pity that the concubine was stupid and didn't understand that this was a trap, and after jumping down in one breath, she couldn't turn back. Now His Majesty came to see the concubine, just to determine whether the concubine could still live, if the concubine's life is big, there is a trace of luck, I am afraid that His Majesty will immediately order someone to kill the concubine, so that Chu Shizi innocently bears the life of the concubine. ”

Emperor Showa has long known that Zhou Yanran is a smart child, and now it seems that he has never missed this judgment; She is indeed a rare smart and transparent woman, but unfortunately, she has done too many foolish things.

Seeing Emperor Showa looking at himself silently, Zhou Yanran let out another sneer, and said in a weak voice: "Your Majesty, you have done so much, does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know?" Does he know that his esteemed father is doing these unspeakable ugly things behind his back? Do you know that you are doing this just to break him up and the woman he loves the most? ”

Emperor Showa, who had calm eyebrows and eyes, finally had a little emotional fluctuation at this time, his eyes were sharp and he looked at Zhou Yanran, who fell to the ground and was destined to die, and also dragged a slightly hoarse voice, saying: "People who know too much will not live long." ”

Zhou Yanran seemed to have heard some ridiculous joke, and laughed a few times: "Your Majesty, the concubine is like this now, even if you don't do it, you won't be able to live." ”

As she spoke, Zhou Yanran raised her head and looked at the dense layers of cobwebs knotted above her head, and the whites of her eyes had begun to become cloudy, and she had already seen the end of her life, and said: "The concubine has been chasing what she can't get all her life, and she hates the person who gets the love of the concubine's heart, and now she has ended up like this, and the concubine has nothing to say; The life of the concubine is about to be gone, and this life, whether it is glory and wealth or pain, will come to an end; However, those who are alive will continue to suffer, Your Majesty, you really played a good hand of chess, concubines, and princes, many, many people have been deceived by you, where are you mediocre and incompetent, you are really good at attacking the heart. It's a pity that the crown prince and the princess are so smart that they haven't seen you through. ”
