When the starry sky became brighter, the old emperor drove his courtiers away. Originally, these two friends, who had been with him for a long time, were left behind, not to discuss some secret matters, but to greet them first and get them ready—that preparation, of course, was the death of the two of them, the masters of this country, or the administrators, or the pioneers.

The old emperor left the room where he had met the two, smoked a hookah in his hand, and went to the nearby garden. He was accompanied by a woman of some age, ready to serve him. For the old emperor, the younger and more beautiful the servant is enough, at his age, what is needed is a familiar sense of stability, and a sense of trust that can be reassured, and these ...... The generals and prime ministers who had just left, as well as the old servants behind them, could all bring them to him.

The old emperor came to the middle of the garden and sat down under the service of the servants. The stone table, the benches, and the already manicured garden made his mood even more relaxed.

"Your Majesty, hobbies should also be stopped in moderation. The woman whispered to the old emperor beside him. The two did not have a distinction between dignity and inferiority because of the disparity in status, and the old emperor did not care about such a so-called etiquette, but rather that he was already used to being whispered in the ears of women.

What the woman said was naturally a hookah that the old emperor had never let go. He just laughed, but he had no intention of putting down the hookah at all, and took another puff, "What's the matter, I won't be able to continue smoking for a few days anyway." ”

Hearing the old emperor say this, the woman's face showed an obviously sad expression, "Your Majesty, you are still very energetic. ”

"yes, it's very energetic, so spiritual that I can't believe it. The old emperor said, "reminds me of my father...... At that time, in the last two years, he seemed to have changed back into a young man again, more energetic and energetic than me, who was a son. ”

The woman was not stupid and knew what the old emperor meant. It is because I know that it is even more sad.

"You are also old, and you have seen a lot of birth, old age, sickness and death, why do you still have such a bitter gourd face. The old emperor calmed his servants, "all of them as if they had seen the end of the world, with expressions of disbelief on their faces...... Is this so unacceptable? ”

The servants, the generals, and the prime minister, all had expressions on their faces that they did not believe that the old emperor would really die, but it was the person who said this, as if he was saying something that was taken for granted.

"We all hope that Your Majesty will always be healthy......" The servant was about to continue, but suddenly stopped. She jerked to a corner of the garden, then turned her head around again, sweeping around. She looked around, not paying the slightest attention to her etiquette in front of the old emperor, although the old emperor didn't care. Her face turned pale and her hands were placed in her wide robes......

"Take the knife back. The old emperor said suddenly. His calm tone caused the woman's hand to freeze there, and after a long moment, she trembled and withdrew. No matter how approachable he is, the emperor is always the emperor, and orders are absolute and cannot be disobeyed. And she has no intention of disobeying, she respects the old emperor and is willing to sacrifice her life for him, but ......

"You go get some rest, it's okay. The old emperor continued to say to his servant, "You have been too nervous all these years, and there is no need for it. He stood up, walked over to the old servant, and patted her on the shoulder, "You still have a long life ahead, so let's get used to a happy life with nothing to do." ”

"However, someone ......," the old servant tried to struggle a little longer, but saw the old emperor shaking his head, "there is nothing to be afraid of, and it is not the assassin who is coming." Again, it's time for you to rest...... You still have a long life, think about how you can enjoy the rest of your life. ”

The old emperor's words had already come to this, and just by looking into his eyes, the servant knew that it was useless to say anything. If the existence of the emperor can be easily convinced, then he is not a passing king.

After the servant left, the old emperor sat back on the bench. There was no one around here anymore, and as the king of a country, it seemed that there were too few defenses around him, surprisingly little. Even if the palace itself is already an absolutely safe place, there should be no absolute sense of security in the human heart, especially for people in high positions.

But this old emperor has no one around him anymore - maybe it's not quite right to say that. In this garden, there are other people besides him, but they are hidden.

"How long are you going to hide like that?" said the old emperor, who was silent for a moment, "it shouldn't be very comfortable to hide in the bushes." ”

In his sight, in a corner of the garden, something poked its head out of some inconspicuous, beautifully manicured shrub with a rustling sound. "When did you find mine?"

It was none other than Lulunaka who came out of it. Lulunaka wore a cloak with a lot of leaves on her head and body, and looked like a child who was catching a hide, with a surprised expression on her face.

"I don't have the skills to find someone who is deliberately hiding. The old emperor said, "I can probably guess what is going on by my poor servant's face." Nothing made her more nervous than threatening my body. ”

"You are a big man, you have a noble status, and the people around you will naturally be very nervous. Lulunaka stepped out of it and patted the leaves off her body, "I don't think there's anything wrong with that, after all, this country also has a history of emperors being assassinated...... You're too your servants, aren't you?"

"I just want her to take a break. The old emperor replied.

Seeing that there were no leaves on her body, Lulunaka jumped a few more times and waved her arms outstretched. After making trouble like a child for a while, she said to the old emperor: "But you have taken away all the guards around you, which is a lot more convenient for me, thank you so much." ”

"I don't think they can stop you, I don't want to upset you. ”

Lulunaka looked embarrassed and waved her hand at the old emperor, "How could I be, I'm not a moody king or a god, how could I be angry because of such a thing." Speaking of which, I'm just a civilian, and it's a very lucky thing to meet someone as great as you!"

"Are you lucky?" laughed the old emperor, "I think I'm the lucky one." ”

Lulunaka pointed at herself, "You haven't seen me, have you?"

"Even if you don't worry, it's useless. The old emperor said, "You want to see me, for me, it's already a ......" Speaking of this, the old emperor didn't say any more, "Alas, don't say anything pretentious, I don't think you like to hear it." I'm more happy than scared. ”
