"Xiao'er, you're here." The Emperor said softly.

He still looked extremely weak, but there was a little more optimism between his eyebrows and eyes.

"Well, father, during this time, Xuanyuan Hao was framed, and the people were full of voices slandering him, and the second and third princes were injured again and may be disabled for life, in short, everything is not going well." Shen Ruoxiao sighed and said, his eyes slightly discolored.

Hearing this, the emperor's chest rose and fell, panting, and the green tendons on his head flared up.

He forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, but the muscles of his face were trembling.

The emperor coughed a few times and clutched his chest.

He glanced up at Shen Ruoxiao, as if he had thought of something, and then struggled to sit up from the bed.

Slowly moving to the center of the bed, he lifted the sheet, then took out a golden key and carefully opened the hidden compartment on the bed.

Shen Ruoxiao was startled, and his eyes kept falling on the emperor's hand.

I didn't expect that this emperor still had a back hand, and he really deserved to be a generation of kings, and his mind was meticulous.

The emperor took out the treasure box in the dark grid, looked at it in his hand, and beckoned Shen Ruoxiao to come over.

Shen Ruoxiao paused for a few seconds, and then stepped forward with small steps, with a slight doubt in his eyes.

I saw that the emperor opened the treasure box, and immediately lay a token similar to a tiger talisman.

The texture on it is not a popular pattern at the moment, it should be an old object.

"This thing was left by the first emperor, it is a symbol of power and power, it is enough to make everyone surrender, and now it is really the last resort, so I can only take it out first."

As he spoke, he handed the box to Shen Ruoxiao, as if he wanted her to see it more clearly.

Shen Ruoxiao glanced at it a few times, frowned, and looked at the emperor with some embarrassment.

"Just say what you do, and you don't have to talk to me about it." The emperor saw through her entanglement, and knew that she did not dare to say anything.

"It's good that this token has great power, but if Xuanyuan Qi really wants to rebel, it is estimated that this token alone will not be able to subdue it, and then there will be chaos in the court, and the Qi party will take advantage of the victory to pursue, and this token may eventually fall into the hands of others." Shen Ruoxiao frowned and said.

The emperor smiled suddenly, as if he was not worried about the hidden danger that Shen Ruoxiao had just said, but was even more calm than before.

Shen Ruoxiao felt strange in his heart, looked at the emperor, and waited for his answer.

"What you said is indeed very reasonable, I will not be so stupid as to think that a small token can suppress Xuanyuan Qi's heart of wanting to rebel, and the greatest use of this token can be to summon a group of invincible secret guards raised in Nanshan Temple."

The Emperor pouted and smiled, not expecting to use it one day.

Shen Ruoxiao nodded suddenly in realization, but he was still quite worried in his heart.

After all, if the Xuanyuan Qi faction really wants to rebel, they will definitely mobilize the army, and when a large number of soldiers besiege the city, those secret guards are estimated to be unbearable.

But looking at the emperor's expression, there didn't seem to be the slightest worry, and the curiosity in her heart suddenly surged up, and she smiled and looked at the emperor.

"Father, can you ask how many guards you have? What if it's not enough? Shen Ruoxiao said with a shy face.

Originally, she shouldn't have asked too much about royal affairs, but now, she has to think about it for Xuanyuan Hao.

"I know what you're thinking, don't worry, there are thousands of my secret guards, each of them can fight against a hundred, if there is a real fight, who wins and who loses is really not certain." When the Emperor said this, a smug smile spread across his face.

What's more, those secret guards will only be known to the emperors who have inherited them according to the etiquette of the past generations.

Therefore, Xuanyuan Qi didn't know about the secret guard at all, and when the time came, he would definitely be able to catch him off guard.

Shen Ruoxiao breathed a sigh of relief after listening to the emperor's words.

In this case, when the time comes, if the fight starts, plus some soldiers from the palace, it should not be a problem to deal with Xuanyuan Qi.

"Father, I see that your complexion has improved a lot recently, let me check your pulse." Shen Ruoxiao saw that the emperor was coming to the spirit, so he proposed.

The Emperor paused, then nodded, with a hint of apprehension on his face.

He doesn't know if his body can hold it or not!

Shen Ruoxiao saw that the emperor nodded in agreement, and immediately sat on the stool next to the dragon bed, with one hand on his pulse, carefully feeling the beating of the pulse.

For a while, her brows furrowed slightly, and she was a little entangled in her heart.

Although the emperor's face was ruddy, his pulse was disordered, and the inside of his body was also very empty.

In the following days, she estimated that she could only use spiritual spring water and some medicinal materials such as ginseng to hang his life.

The emperor looked at Shen Ruoxiao's expression and seemed to be a little wrong, but he didn't say anything, he was already prepared in his heart.

Shen Ruoxiao withdrew his hand and was silent for a while.

As a doctor, she can't deceive patients, not to mention that the other party is still the emperor.

But as for his physical condition, she did not want to be honest out of sympathy.

But everything was in plain sight, the emperor sighed slightly, his eyes suddenly looked a little sad, and a wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Actually, I know in my heart that my body is estimated to be short. I have no regrets about going through the world, but I have failed Concubine Xiao in this life after all. The emperor said that tears overflowed from the corners of his eyes, and his eyes were full of endless thoughts. every day

Shen Ruoxiao pursed her lips and was silent, and her heart couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

Concubine Xiao?

Xuanyuan Hao's mother!

Unexpectedly, when the emperor learned that he was a dying person, the first thing he thought of was Concubine Xiao.

"Ten years of life and death, without thinking, unforgettable. When I also pass away, I will accompany her well and not let her suffer half of the grievances again. ”

The emperor choked back tears, but the corners of his mouth rose slightly, as if he remembered the love time of the year.

"I think back then, Concubine Xiao was the girl I loved the most in my heart, I was in love with her, but the queen had a strong background, and I insisted that we were separated, but ......"

With the emperor's memories, Shen Ruoxiao also seemed to see the innocent era where there was no power strife, only beautiful love.

In the early spring of that year, the emperor was still a handsome son, and he went out at night to enjoy the lantern festival during the Lantern Festival.

The streets are bustling with people, and a variety of lanterns hang on the shops to attract attention.

The emperor was dressed in white, with his right arm in front of his abdomen and his left arm behind his back, walking slowly, admiring the lanterns of each family.

A woman recklessly crashed into his arms, a fox mask covering her face, and a pair of cunning eyes snatched his heart in an instant.

The woman was Concubine Xiao when she was young, she was stunned, she withdrew from the emperor's arms, and her best friend immediately followed.

"Childe is really embarrassed, she just collided with Childe when she was fighting with me, you are by no means an idle person at first glance, you shouldn't worry about women like me." My friend smiled and said.

The emperor's gaze retreated from Concubine Xiao, returned to his senses, and patted his sleeve.

"You don't, and you don't mean to." The emperor's smile was gentle and elegant, and his white clothes made him even more extraordinary.

"Well, in order to express my apologies, I invite you to eat pear blossom cake! That stuff was delicious! ”

Concubine Xiao blinked her eyes, her eyebrows were crooked, and she looked very playful.

The emperor was stunned again, and the ghost nodded his head, and went to a nearby shop under the tug of Concubine Xiao.

"Boss, I want two, no, three pear blossom cakes!"

Concubine Xiao shouted at the boss inside, tilted her head to look at the rabbit lamp inside, her eyes were full of joy.

The emperor caught a glimpse of the light in Concubine Xiao's eyes, a smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and then smiled at the boss.

"Boss, where did you get this rabbit lamp? I look good, but I want one. The emperor's eyes flickered slightly, and Concubine Xiao said.

"This, you're really right, today's Lantern Festival, so I'm going to do a lantern riddle guessing activity, guess three correctly and send rabbit lights, how about it, son, do you want to try?" The boss took the pear blossom cake and put it on the counter, and said with a smile.

Concubine Xiao put the money on the counter, took the peach blossom crisp, handed it to the emperor with a smile, and gave a bag to her girlfriend, and held another bag in her arms.

The emperor smiled lightly, looked at Concubine Xiao with gentle eyes, and then turned his head to look at the boss.

"Then guess what, let's get the question." The emperor looked confident, so many years of study were not in vain.

"The first question, the flow of the river."

"Work!" Concubine Xiao immediately replied, and the laughter like a silver bell rippled in the air and swept into the emperor's heart.

"The girl is really smart, the next question, the wood felling water upstream." The boss gave a thumbs up and said with a smile.

Concubine Xiao frowned, gesturing in her hand, pouting, her brain was running rapidly.

The emperor looked down at her and smiled, already having the answer in his heart, but he didn't say it immediately.

"I know! It's Jay, right? Concubine Xiao jumped up and said excitedly, as if she was happier than hitting the rabbit lamp.

The boss stretched out his thumb again and nodded affirmatively, and the emperor also smiled at Concubine Xiao, and couldn't help but have a little more appreciation in his eyes.

"The last one, reunion." The boss smiled slyly, as if he was sure they couldn't guess the question.

Concubine Xiao was stunned, with a sad face, just two words have nothing to do with it, how can she guess? He pouted and looked at the emperor with a look of grievance.

The emperor smiled helplessly, it seemed that he still had to go out at the critical moment, he looked at the boss, and then glanced at the rabbit lamp.

"Reunion is goodbye, so I am the view." The emperor was still confident, and he was going to set the rabbit lamp.

The boss was stunned, and immediately clapped his hands.

How many people who came before were scared away by the last question, and only the handsome boy in front of him answered correctly.

"The rabbit lamp is yours, just right to send your sweetheart." The boss also glanced at Concubine Xiao on the side, and her face was full of lovers who finally became married.

The emperor couldn't help but smile, then turned to face Concubine Xiao and handed the rabbit lamp in his hand to her.

"I've got you."

The emperor raised his eyebrows, then turned around and walked forward, and Concubine Xiao immediately followed again, smiling at him with a rabbit lamp.

The two walked around the market for a while, and when they said goodbye, their eyes were full of reluctance.
