Chapter 166: Death

Unfortunately, the impermanence of the world is always unpredictable. Even if Tao Yao issued many warnings one after another, Princess Taiping and others in the capital did not neglect at all, and were ready for battle all the time, but the accident that should come could not be avoided after all, and the sky collapsed in an instant, and it was no longer the past.

When she received the news of Li Xian's death, Princess Taiping was in her own mansion. Coldly hearing the sound of the cloud board, the woman who was originally combing her long hair instantly shook off her ivory comb. The small handful landed on the thick carpet in the room, and although it only made a muffled noise, it made the Akihara outside walk in immediately.

"Your Highness! This...... This is ......" Akihara squatted down to pick up the comb, but his fingers trembled. If it was in the past, it would be forgotten, and there would only be a few old princes in the divine capital, and the left was just a backup ceremony. However, at the moment when Li Xian fell ill again, the sudden knocking of the cloud board on this big night made people panic from their hearts.

"It's a cloud board! It's a cloud board! Princess Taiping was so anxious that she didn't even wear shoes, and stood barefoot in the bluestone courtyard under the moon: "Autumn Plain! Do you hear me? How many noises?! ”

"Your Royal Highness Princess, slow down, don't pay attention to your own body!" Holding her embroidered shoes in one hand and a large coat in the other, Qiu Yuan hurriedly followed out: "The night is cold, don't be angry for a while, hurt yourself!" Saying that, while holding Princess Taiping, she put on her coat and shoes for her, and before she could get up, she was grabbed by the woman who was already not calm, and immediately pulled it up: "Qiuyuan, you tell me!" How many sounds are there on the cloud board?! ”

In the years since her mother came to power, she doesn't know how many times she has heard the knocking of the cloud board. But only this time, the moment the overly familiar sound sounded, her mind was completely confused, so that everything that followed fell to her ears was nothing more than an empty busy sound. At this moment, she grabbed Qiuyuan beside her, as if she was grasping the last life-saving straw in her life, and said that she couldn't let go of anything: "Qiuyuan, you tell me, tell me!" ”

"Your Highness!" Having never been strangled by someone with such force, Akihara endured the pain, but his face became more and more pale and pitiful: "Your Highness, it's four times!" Going down the cloud board, that's the sound of great mourning! Do you see if it's a ...... in the palace?"

In the palace, Li Xian, Wei's mother and daughter, and Shangguan Wan'er...... Princess Taiping's thoughts flew in her mind, and her gorgeous eyebrows and eyes were like quenched fire, and she was blazingly amazing: "Go!" The main palace must enter the palace in person! She wanted to see how a person who was still alive and well two days ago suddenly knocked on the cloud board and was ready to mourn. It's useless for Li Xian to be their husband, she is Li Xian's sister, and in extraordinary times, it is normal for her to check it out.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, you can be regarded as coming!" Just as Princess Taiping's carriage had just entered the second palace gate, a woman's Wenxiu but extremely anxious voice came from outside: "Something happened to the Guanfeng Palace, Your Majesty, he died!" "It's a good thing that these two gates are all under their own hands, otherwise as soon as these words come out, I'm afraid they will immediately turn the world upside down.

Her heart beat violently, and there was no expression on her face without fat powder, but Princess Taiping still casually lifted the curtain and motioned to Shangguan Wan'er: "Come up and talk." She also wanted to know how the two of them had already arranged everything inside and outside, how could such a thing come about. Li Xian's illness was obviously far from death, but he went on the eve of being crowned prince, and it was still so abrupt and hasty. No matter how she thinks, there must be something greasy in it.

The car continued to drive on the palace road, and the sound of the wheels crushing overshadowed the movement of the conversation between the people in the car, so Shangguan Wan'er's anxious and extremely fast explanation only fell on the ears of Princess Taiping and Qiu Yuan, who was sitting beside her: "Today, when it was close to evening, the palace people came to report that Empress Wei and Duke An Le were going to visit the people in the Guanfeng Palace. There was nothing unreasonable about this request, so I asked the eldest grandmother and a few palace people with good skills to go with me, and there was nothing wrong with it. Subconsciously paused, Shangguan Wan'er seemed to remember something extremely terrifying, and even the always beautiful face began to become distorted: "When I entered the Guanfeng Palace, His Majesty was still awake at the time, and he also ordered others to stay outside the door temporarily, saying that he wanted to explain a few intimate words to them. However, just after the group of people withdrew, there was only a stick of incense left and right, and Empress Wei let out a loud cry in the house, and when everyone hurriedly rushed in to find out, all they saw was the corpse of His Majesty on the dragon bed with his eyes still open. ”

"Across the door, are all the people outside dead?!" Princess Taiping frowned, and even the green tendons on her forehead were beating faintly: "Didn't anyone hear any movement?!" "Webster, it's Webster again! The woman and her baby daughter were still haunted by the ghosts, and they had to intervene in anything. Moreover, Li Xian actually died like this, what kind of situation is this?! Obviously everything is going according to plan, why is there still a mess?

"After the incident, I rushed to the Guanfeng Hall as soon as possible, and I also inquired about the palace people who were present at the time, but the strange thing is that no one knew what happened inside." Shangguan Wan'er's speed of speech became faster and faster, and it was obvious that her heart was also extremely uneasy: "Everyone said that they didn't hear any strange sounds in the hall, and even the imperial doctor who arrived later said that His Majesty died suddenly under the attack of illness, and there was no other reason. This also caused her to be unable to send Wei and Li Bao'er at all, even if they were the last people Li Xian had seen before his death.

Just a normal onset? How is this possible?! Li Xian's illness is not an incurable emergency, he has come over unharmed for such a long time, how can it worsen after recuperating for a while? Princess Taiping's mind became more and more agitated, but she immediately remembered another more important question: "What do you say about the establishment of the crown prince?" Did the emperor leave a will?! That's the priority, and the rest, it's not too much to talk about later.

As soon as she said this, Shangguan Wan'er's face suddenly became even more ugly: "I stayed, but ...... The remains are in the hands of Empress Wei. She also said that she would wait for you, King Xiang and other princes and ministers to arrive before reading it. ”
