"The effect of this medicine is not great for the average person." Lin Jinxiu pinched a little bit and put it under the tip of his nose, and then sneezed uncontrollably several times, "But for a person like me who has a good sense of smell, I can smell this medicine from a few miles away." ”

"In other words, no one except me and the dog knew that bugs had this smell mark on their bodies, and if I got close, I might have smelled them in the barracks."

When Huai Yanqing heard her compare herself with the dog, she immediately cried and laughed: "Miss Lin, you don't have to." ”

"I'm telling the truth." Lin Jinxiu sighed and said to the corpses in the pit, "You can rest in peace, I hope you won't encounter such a thing again in your next life." ”

Unexpectedly, just when she turned around and wanted to leave, she suddenly felt a strong force behind her, and the whole person lost her balance and fell into the snake pit.

Huai Yanqing didn't expect that Lin Jinxiu, who had turned around, would have an accident.

"Miss Lin—"

……

At the same time, the capital of the Zhou State - the imperial capital.

The carriage of the prince of the East Palace entered from the city gate, obviously not yet fighting, but it was like a class teacher returning to the court.

No one knows why Zhou Yi, who went to the frontier to fight, appeared here, let alone why he made such a big fuss.

The prince's team returned directly to the palace, and although everyone had doubts in their hearts, no one dared to step forward to stop them.

Zhou Yi was dressed in a light yellow robe, walked hurriedly, got off the sedan chair with a sad face, and walked to the emperor's bedroom.

The emperor of Zhou has been bedridden for several years due to illness, and all these years the crown prince has personally taken care of his father, stabilized his brother, and also organized the government in an orderly manner, and is a good prince who is deeply loved by others.

"My son......" Before Zhou Yi could enter his father's bedroom, he heard the emperor's voice calling him.

"Father!" Zhou Yi stepped forward in a few steps, crossed the threshold, hurried to the emperor's side, and knelt in front of his father.

The old emperor's face was pale, he was already too thin to look like a man, and the dragon robe on his body looked empty, and the whole person was less than half the width of Zhou Yi.

"Wu'er, you're here." Emperor Zhou's expression was very kind, and he stretched out his trembling hand, wanting to touch Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed his father's hand, and said with a worried face: "Father, now that you are not in good health, how can you sit up!" ”

"Ahem, ahem." The emperor coughed a few times in a row and said with a smile, "It's too much time to lie in bed, sit up and be comfortable." ”

"Your Majesty, it's time for you to drink the medicine." The palace maid on the side brought a bowl, the black medicinal juice in it looked very terrible, and it also exuded a strong bitter and astringent medicinal smell.

The emperor stretched out his hand to take it, but Zhou Yi held it in his hand in advance and handed it to his father's mouth.

The old emperor looked very pleased, his trembling fingers couldn't hold the bowl at all, and his concubines were very afraid of being infected by him, and they came to see him just kowtow and say a few polite words.

Only this son of his own, who has been taking care of him with all his heart.

"The most correct thing I have done in my life is to make you the crown prince." The old emperor is already a person who has been soaked in a medicine jar, and his sense of taste has long been out of order, and such a bitter decoction is just a bowl of water to him.

"Father, don't talk about this, let's take care of my body first." Zhou Yi didn't seem to want to hear the emperor praise himself, but was more concerned about his physical condition, and after serving him and drinking the medicine, he also carefully wiped the medicinal soup on his lips with a handkerchief, wanting to help the emperor lie down.

The old emperor sighed: "It's a pity that my life will not be long, and I can't see the prosperity after handing over this great river and mountain to Wu'er." ”

The expression on Zhou Yi's face was a little sad: "Father, don't say that, didn't you say that when your body gets better, you still have to eat apricots in Jiangnan together?" ”

The old emperor seemed to be really dying, he squinted his eyes, looked at the curtain and said softly: "The most sorry people in my life are your Aunt Lan and Seventh Brother...... It's a pity that I really want to compensate them, but I can't do it......"

After hearing these two names, an imperceptible haze slipped through Zhou Yi's eyes, and he resumed his smile in the next second: "Father, Aunt Lan and Seventh Brother will thank you in the Heavenly Spirit, you must not blame yourself, that incident was not Father's fault in the first place." ”

"No, that's my fault, I've been wrong all my life, I'm sorry for too many people, you must not follow in the footsteps of your father......"

The old emperor turned his head and looked at Zhou Yi's eyes: "Wu'er, promise my father that you must be upright and upright, and you must not use insidious and vicious tricks, ......not at any time."

Zhou Yi's movements paused, he always felt that his father was hinting at him, but he didn't say anything, but lowered his head and put his forehead on the ground: "Erchen obeys his father's teachings." ”

"If your seventh brother is still alive, I'm afraid ...... I'm afraid ......"

The old emperor no longer paid attention to Zhou Yi, and his face showed an obsessive look, as if he saw the person he was thinking about in the room.

"Lan'er, I'm sorry for you......"

"Qi'er, if you are still alive, can you forgive your father......

Zhou Yi's hands began to tremble slightly, but he didn't say a word, but gritted his teeth, pulled a sleeve in his palm, and clutched it tightly.

"Qi'er, Qi'er, if you are still alive, the position of this prince should be yours......"

"At the beginning, the Heavenly Master said that you were the successor of the Son of Heaven, but why did my father lose you......"

As the old emperor spoke, the voice in his mouth became smaller and smaller, and in the end, what he shouted in his mouth was also "Qi'er", not "Yi'er".

Zhou Yi still knelt in front of the bed, motionless, as if petrified, until the imperial doctor and the palace maid on the side knelt on the ground and cried loudly.

Your Majesty, you have died.

The emperor did not leave any will, and died of illness at the age of 54.

This fifty-four-year-old man died no different from his seventies.

Zhou Yi, as the crown prince of the East Palace, is also the only son of the emperor who is still in the palace, succeeding to the throne as Emperor Xuanwu of the Zhou State, living in the Kaiyuan Palace, and the year name is Inveos.

The old emperor died, but Zhou Yi couldn't cry a single tear.

His whole person seemed to be controlled, dumbfounded, and he didn't even say a word at the enthronement ceremony except for the necessary form.

The subjects called it excessive sadness and praised Zhou Yi's filial piety, and the first thing Zhou Yi did after succeeding to the throne was to declare war on the Yan State.

"My father has worked hard for so many years, but he has not been able to completely return the Yan Kingdom to our country, and the first thing I did was to fulfill my father's wish." Zhou Yi sat on the throne and looked at the ministers under the stage with a cold face, "Does anyone have any objections?" ”

"The emperor's order, the ministers should go to the soup and the fire!" The subjects of the Zhou State bowed down and bowed down.

Zhou Yi stood up and brushed his sleeves away.

Father, your son will recover the Yan Kingdom and marry the daughter of the Mandate of Heaven to become the queen, so that you can see who is the real successor to the Son of Heaven!

……

"What? Emperor Zhou died? After Zhu Hongyu got the news in the barracks, he almost shocked the teacup to the ground.

"What? Did Zhou Yi ascend the throne and become emperor? The scroll in Qin Shuyao's hand fell to the ground.

Before the words fell, Mu Siyan came to report: "General, Mr. Qin, the prince and Miss Lin have not been out of the camp for three days and three nights!" ”

"What?" Zhu Hongyu picked up the cup that was about to fall to the ground on tiptoe, and threw it back on the table, "This prince, what did you do to Miss Lin?" Didn't come out for three days? ”

As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and went to check.

Qin Shuyao couldn't cry or laugh: "This, general, they are not in a camp tent......"

Zhu Hongyu didn't care so much, she directly killed Lin Jinxiu's tent: "Miss Lin! How are you! ”

"......Forehead" Lin Jinxiu sat in the tent, very puzzled by Zhu Hongyu's sudden rush in, and the medicine bag she was holding in her hand was thrown up directly by her, and she grabbed it several times in the air before catching it.

"I, of course I'm fine......" Lin Jinxiu finally grabbed the medicine bag in her hand and looked at Zhu Hongyu with a frightened face, "Why am I in trouble?" ”

Hearing Lin Jinxiu say that he was fine, Zhu Hongyu smiled and said, "Brother Mu said that you and the prince stayed in the tent for three days, and I still did what the prince did to you." ”

"How can it be ......" Lin Jinxiu looked at her with empty eyes, "No matter how arrogant the prince is, he is also a righteous gentleman, how can he do anything to me?" ”

Well? Wait, it seems to say what is in your heart.

"But General Ben is curious." Zhu Hongyu sat opposite Lin Jinxiu, "Why haven't you and the general been closed since we went to find the source of the worm and snake......

Lin Jinxiu's expression was a little embarrassed in an instant: "Uh...... It all started with a bug......"

At that time, just when Lin Jinxiu and Huai Yanqing turned around, a short figure rushed out of the bushes, pushed Lin Jinxiu's back, and directly pushed her into the insect and snake pit.

"Miss Lin—"

Huai Yanqing shouted angrily and slapped him, but it took a few breaths to directly sanction the person to the ground.

And Lin Jinxiu also fell to the ground with a muffled snort.

…… And not on bugs.

"How...... What's going on? This pit is a bit deep, Lin Jinxiu only feels that his blood is surging, and his eyes are full of stars.

It stands to reason that there are still insects and snakes in the middle of the pit, and I thought there would be some buffer, but why did they fall directly to the ground?

"Miss Lin??" Huai Yanqing's voice came from the edge of the pit, trembling with horror, and Lin Jinxiu felt that something was even more wrong.

When I opened my eyes, there was not a single insect in sight.

One, none.

Lin Jinxiu sat up and rubbed her broken elbow, obviously the blood had flowed out, but these insects actually avoided her, where she went, the insects scattered.

It's like a swordfish caught in a school of plaice.

"Me, this is?" Lin Jinxiu didn't know whether she should be stunned or happy, she just felt that it was amazing.

It seems that he is really the nemesis of that woman's use of poison.

"Come on!" Huai Yanqing didn't dare to approach the edge of the pit, these insects would only avoid Lin Jinxiu, but they would not avoid him.

Lin Jinxiu knew that his blood had a miraculous effect on these insects, and he was no longer afraid, but walked directly to the edge of the pit.

The journey was very smooth, until she climbed out along the edge of the pit, the insects and snakes around her were very calm, and they avoided Lin Jinxiu.
