Chapter 161: The Emperor Dies
In Xiao Liyan's hard work, the emperor and others finally rushed into the gate of the palace without danger, but at this moment, a sudden change occurred.
Suddenly, a guard in the palace shot an arrow at the emperor, because of the suddenness, everyone was defenseless, although the guards who protected the emperor reacted temporarily and waved their swords to block, but they were also a step too late.
The sharp arrow passed through the chest, and the emperor fell off the horse violently, and Guo Meiren, who was riding a horse behind the emperor, did not react, and the horse stepped directly towards the emperor's body.
At the critical moment, the guards dragged the emperor over and put him back on his horse, and it was only then that the frightened people finally tightened the reins of the horse and stopped.
"Your Majesty." Ruan Lingxi shouted bitterly and hurriedly rushed over.
At this time, the emperor's mouth continued to overflow with blood, and even his eyes began to dilute.
"Su Qiming." Xiao Liyan shouted at Su Qiming.
Su Qiming hurriedly rushed over.
Today, he also went hunting, and asked the medicine boy to carry the medicine box.
"The sword pierced through the chest, the heart was broken, and there was no help." After Su Qiming checked it, he said in a deep voice.
"Impossible, the emperor will be fine, you save him, the palace orders you to save him." Ruan Lingxi shouted silently.
She hasn't given birth to a prince yet, she hasn't been a queen yet, how can the emperor die?
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you can't die, Your Majesty, you haven't done what you promised your concubines, you can't die." Ruan Lingxi tugged at the emperor's sleeve and said while shaking.
"Don't move, Niangniang, you will only make the emperor go up faster." After Su Qiming finished speaking, he took out a pill from his medicine box: "This medicine can temporarily renew the emperor's life, but the emperor's injury is too serious, and it can only work for a moment at most." ”
"Quickly feed the emperor and let the emperor explain his last words." Ruan Lingxi hurriedly shouted.
When Su Qiming heard this, he subconsciously glanced at Xiao Liyan, and when he saw Xiao Liyan nodding at him, he gave the emperor a subdue.
The medicine soon had an effect, and the emperor, who was already dying and speechless, suddenly turned a little ruddy, and his breathing was smooth.
"Uncle Huang." The Emperor shouted in a low voice.
"The minister is here, if the emperor has anything, he will tell the minister, and the minister will do it for the emperor." Xiao Liyan hurriedly said.
At this time, he felt very uncomfortable, the emperor was the person he watched grow up.
Suddenly, it's either.
Even if this bastard boy is unreliable, he can't just be gone.
"Uncle Huang, pass on my oracle, after the abolition, change the noble concubine Ruan's ...... Later, if Concubine Yun gave birth to a prince...... Let the prince succeed to the throne, Ruan's curtain for the queen mother to listen to the government, the emperor uncle you are ...... Regent, manage the government together, if Concubine Yun gives birth to a princess, and the imperial uncle ascends the throne and succeeds to the throne, please treat my concubines ...... well. ”
"Your Majesty ......" Ruan Lingxi couldn't help but shout, and said loudly: "The child in Concubine Yun's womb is only three or four months old, if you set up such a posthumous photo, aren't you afraid that King Qi will kill the child in Concubine Yun's womb in order to ascend the throne and succeed to the throne?"
She had to say this clearly in order to make King Qi jealous.
"Shut up!" The emperor was furious, because he was so angry, his chest kept bleeding, and his mouth kept vomiting blood: "Uncle Huang is not such a person, if you say more, you will always be your concubine." ”
Ruan Lingxi suddenly didn't dare to say anything more when she heard this.
"The emperor can rest assured, if Concubine Yun gives birth to a prince, the ministers will assist him well until he grows up and governs in person." Xiao Liyan said in a low voice.
"Uncle Huang, no matter what...... Xiao Chengyu cannot be allowed to succeed to the throne...... Either way...... Avenge me. The Emperor's eyes widened violently as he said this.
"Your Majesty......" Ruan Lingxi only felt a shock in his heart, and shouted softly, but the emperor did not reply.
Su Qiming stepped forward to probe the emperor's snort, touched his pulse, reached out to brush the emperor's wide eyes, and said in a low voice: "The emperor has died." ”
As soon as he said this, all the women in the harem wailed loudly.
At this time, Xiao Chengyu was leading a large group of men and horses to attack the city.
"Someone is coming, send the emperor's body back to Changle House first, and the concubine will go back with the concubines first." Xiao Liyan said in a low voice.
"King Qi, don't forget the emperor's edict, this palace is now the queen." Ruan Lingxi said loudly.
She is the biggest here, and everyone should listen to her, not to the king of Qi.
"Niangniang mean, do you want to bring someone to defend against the enemy here?" Xiao Liyan asked again.
At this moment, she couldn't wait to cut Ruan Lingxi with a sword.
This woman is really ruthless, as soon as the emperor died, she thought about fighting for power and profit, and she didn't take the emperor to heart at all.
Ruan Lingxi listened to his words and was slightly stunned.
"The rest of the people, prepare to defend against the enemy." Xiao Liyan shouted loudly.
"Yes." Everyone hurriedly responded.
The emperor confessed his last words in front of everyone, and there were too many people who heard it, and Xiao Liyan at this time was naturally different in the eyes of everyone.
Even if Concubine Yun gave birth to a prince, Xiao Liyan was also the regent, if Concubine Yun did not give birth to a prince, Xiao Liyan would ascend the throne and succeed to the throne.
As for Xiao Chengyu outside?
It's just a thief, so there's nothing to be afraid of.
Even if Xiao Chengyu's current strength is stronger than theirs, they have already entered the palace, as long as they stick to the gate, someone will naturally come to protect King Qin.
When the emperor was still besieged in the big tent before, Xiao Liyan had already asked the emperor to write a few edicts in person, and when he broke through, he asked the guards to send them out.
In a few days, the soldiers and horses rescued by King Qin will come.
……
Three days later, Concubine Qing's father Jiang Kun led 150,000 soldiers and horses to escort King Qin, and joined forces with Xiao Liyan to annihilate all the men and horses under Xiao Chengyu.
Xiao Chengyu was killed by random arrows.
The edict given by the emperor before his death has been spread, and after Jiang Kun and his soldiers went to the palace hall, they did not kneel down to the empress Ruan Lingxi, who was sitting on the upper seat, but knelt down to Xiao Liyan who was standing below: "The ministers meet the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”
Xiao Liyan was very surprised when he saw it, and was about to say something, but Ruan Lingxi, who was sitting on it, shouted loudly: "What are you doing? The emperor has an edict to make the child born by Concubine Yun the crown prince, you do this...... Where to put the emperor? ”
"I'm afraid the queen doesn't know yet, there is news in Beijing, Concubine Yun's child had a miscarriage half a month ago, but Beijing is far away from the palace, and the news is naturally a few days late, counting the time, more than ten days before the emperor died, Concubine Yun's child is gone." Jiang Kun, who was the leader, said respectfully.
"What ......" Ruan Lingxi couldn't believe what she heard.
The kid ...... Nope.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Jiang Kun and the others knelt down again.
Xiao Liyan was still shocked in his heart.
He really didn't want to be emperor.
He's an imperial uncle, what's the matter with inheriting his nephew's throne?
But now in the entire Great Liang Dynasty, there is only one royal bloodline like him.
"Let's all be flat." Xiao Liyan sighed and said in a low voice.
"Yes." Everyone hurriedly responded.
Ruan Lingxi looked at Xiao Liyan, and a strange light flashed in her eyes.
Xiao Liyan became the emperor, how can she, the niece and daughter-in-law of this family, keep the rights she should have?
