() The first rays of sunlight fell in the temple, and the gray-haired old man was still writing with his pen, as if he were not tired in the slightest.

The chief eunuch Wei De had been guarding worriedly, and after seeing his ink pen on the last word, he hurriedly waved his hand to let the little eunuch bring up the hot water that was ready at any time.

"Your Majesty, it's time for you to rest." Wei De put his hand in the water, soaked the bright yellow handkerchief, and respectfully handed it to the tired old man to clean his face.

Baili Wentian is full of old age, his limbs are inconvenient, but his eyes are shining with essence but not to be underestimated, "When?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it's already early days." Weide took the handkerchief, then handed him another glass of warm water.

Baili Wentian rinsed his mouth, took a sip of the hot tea in Wei De's hand, and after waving away a touch of tiredness, he didn't go to rest, but asked, "Everyone is out?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, everything is in order." Weide knew what he was talking about, and hurriedly replied.

"That's good, that's good." Baili Wentian felt that he was about to reach a limit, although he was pretending to be sick, but his body was indeed gradually failing, but it was not as serious as the outside world said.

People are dying, and the only thing that can't be let go in this world is those family inheritances.

If it is an ordinary family, needless to say, the family business must be handed over to the children and grandchildren, but their families are different.

They are royal, and that family business is the whole world, and they cannot be disposed of at will, and they must find a suitable heir.

Baili Wentian looked out with tired eyes, looking at the rising red sun, but he was unable to do it with a trace of strength, "The sun rises in the east, the sun sets in the west, and the destiny of heaven returns." I am the Son of Heaven, but I am also a mortal, and one day the sun will set, but I don't know who of my princes and grandsons is lucky enough to rise with the sun and bathe in the glory of power. ”

He had many children and grandchildren, but only three survived in the end. For those sons and grandsons who died young, Baili Wentian has almost no special memory, let alone any feelings.

Since ancient times, I have been in the royal family, and I can't help myself. From birth, the fight is non-stop.

If you lose, you lose, you can't complain about others, you can only blame yourself for being useless. Therefore, in his eyes, those princes and grandsons who died early were just a group of losers, and it was not a pity to die.

Success or defeat is a law that has always been the law, and no one can escape it.

"Ahem, cough, cough......" The cough sounded, and the old man's shriveled lips squirmed, "What's going on in the harem?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, a few days ago, Ye Guifei scolded the Nine Princes, and after that, the Nine Princes never entered the palace again." Weide replied.

Baili Wentian's face did not move, but he said: "It's pitiful Lao Jiu, who can endure it for so many years." ”

The harem has been in charge of Ye Wan'er for many years, those palace maids and eunuchs, and even more Ye Wan'er thought that everything was under her control, but no one knew that he was the son of heaven in a country after all, and this world belonged to him, not to mention a harem.

In this harem, what can escape his eyes?

"Where's her?"

"Your Majesty, ...... over there in the Buddha Hall" The old eunuch Wei De hesitated, not daring to continue,

Baili Wentian took the teacup with his hand, then he put down the cup and stood up, "It's time to take a look." ”

Wei De hurriedly stepped forward to help him.

Baili Wentian brushed his hand away and dragged his drooping old body outward.

The Buddha hall is located not far behind the front hall, and it takes only a quarter of an hour to walk past. It's just that Baili Wentian is old after all, and his health is inconvenient, so he walked for half an hour before he walked to the front of the Buddha Hall.

The Buddha hall is very ordinary, there is no golden body and jade Buddha, and some are just a Buddha statue cast by clay figures.

It was quiet inside, except for the sound of a wooden fish ringing from time to time.

Standing in front of this Buddha hall, Baili Wentian stood for a moment, looked at it a few times, and then walked inside on crutches.

Inside is the queen, and now the emperor is in, Wei De, as a eunuch, has a humble status, but he does not dare to go with him. But he didn't dare to go back directly, for fear that the master would have something to do with him. Therefore, he could only stand respectfully at the door.

On the grass in front of the Buddha hall sat an old woman with silver hair, her eyes were distracted, but her hands were mechanically knocking on the wooden fish.

"You're old!"

A voice with an exclamation sounded from behind her, and the old woman paused, her face was full of disbelief, and she didn't even notice that the wooden pestle in her hand had fallen off.

Baili Wentian took two steps forward with difficulty, looking at this Buddha statue, he had an incomprehensible emotion in his eyes, "It's been more than twenty years, and we are all old. ”

Yan Guhan turned her head slowly, looking at the majestic figure who had never aged in her heart with a cold face, her lips trembled, "You ......"

Baili Wentian walked this way, and his body was a little unbearable, and there was no place to sit in the Buddha hall except for Caopu. As the Son of Heaven, he could not bend his knees, so he walked to the Buddha statue and supported his hands on the offering table to relieve his fatigue.

"The third child is ruined!"

Yan Guhan gradually stabilized her mood, although her eyes were still excited, she still didn't make any out-of-the-ordinary moves, picked up the wooden pestle, and knocked on the wooden fish, "This palace knows!" "Her son, how could she not be concerned.

"You also have a grandchild!" Baili Wentian faced the Buddha statue, but his slightly bent back was facing the old woman.

Yan Guhan's movements in his hand paused, "What are you going to do?" ”

"I hate you, and I don't like the third child because of this, but Jing Xuan is different, he is a good boy from my Baili family." Baili Wentian suddenly turned around, "You should be glad that you have a good grandson." "Otherwise, not only her, but even the third child doesn't need to live in this world.

Yan Guhan smiled, the wrinkles on her face couldn't stop the desolation in her heart, "This palace hopes that you can hate me for the rest of your life." At the very least, it shows that he has her existence in his heart.

"I'm dying." The grievances and grievances of the past, at the end of life, have become meaningless. Baili Wentian now has only one wish, "Where is the imperial sister?" This is also the purpose of his stay in Yan Guhan.

Yan Guhan had a trace of bitterness in his eyes, "It's all come to this, and you still haven't forgotten this matter." ”

"I know you're not afraid of death, but the third child, you should think about him." Baili Wentian took two steps towards her, "We are all old, and we don't have the energy to fight anymore." In exchange, I can promise you one thing. ”

The old woman was silent.

Wei De, who had been waiting outside the Buddha hall for a long time, saw Baili Wentian coming out and hurriedly greeted him.

"When the matter is over, leave a corpse for Lao Jiu." Suddenly, the old man stood up. The scorching light in the air fell right on his bright yellow dragon head, and the majestic dragon eyes seemed to be coated with a layer of golden light, making people dare not look directly.
