The girl's deer eyes were cold.

Rong Zheng bowed his head, his fingertips brushed the corners of her eyes, and his voice revealed a bit of a happy smile, "Sister Su, what kind of expression is this?" It is necessary to know that those who achieve great things are not informal, and the dumping of power is never merciless. History is like this, you and I are just a few grains of dust in the vast river, time and fate, and what we do is just to add a little color to the Kyushu rivers and mountains. ”

Su Jiu stared up at him.

The man is dressed in white and has a lot of vicissitudes in his eyes.

He was calm and elegant.

After being repeatedly knocked down by Xiao Tingchen, he silently hibernated in the quagmire, quietly developed his own power, and secretly waited for the opportunity to kill with one blow and go straight to the clouds!

Such a man has an excellent heart.

It is not by chance that he succeeded in forcing the palace.

Su Jiu took two steps back, "Send me to see the emperor." ”

She concluded that Rong Zheng would not kill the king.

A prince supported by the Rong family also followed the Empress Dowager Rong to practice in the Yuntai Mountain Temple, and no one succeeded to the throne after Rong Zheng killed the monarch, and no one in the world would obey him.

Second, the old emperor is not dead, and Rong Zheng can completely coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes to control the Great Qi court in the name of righteousness.

Rong Zheng smiled and personally took her to the Qianhe Palace where Yuan Xiao lived.

There are not many guards and maids left in the Qianhe Palace, and everyone is in danger because of the tense situation, and the atmosphere is particularly depressing and gloomy.

Rong Zheng stayed outside the dormitory and didn't go in.

Su Jiu stepped into the palace alone, and the strong medicinal fragrance came to his face.

She looked at the middle-aged man on the dragon couch, his face was haggard and old, and there was a faint blue and black color between his eyebrows, which was completely different from the spirit of the first time she saw him.

Combined with a few strange herbs in the medicinal fragrance, she judged that Yuan Xiao was afraid of being poisoned by chronic poison.

She stood quietly beside the dragon couch.

The riskiest profession in the world is probably to be an emperor, right?

But there are still so many people who want to get to that position like moths to the fire, and even Xiao Tingchen is lost in the tilt of power......

The girl sighed wordlessly, and stepped forward to tuck the futon for Yuan Xiao.

Yuan Xiao woke up and saw that it was Su Jiu, and his eyes were complicated.

He struggled to sit up, and Su Jiu put a bright yellow satin gold silk pattern pillow behind him, and brought another cup of tea.

Yuan Xiao took two sips of tea and couldn't help but look at Su Jiu again.

The girl wore a pear blossom white skirt, her long crow green hair was tied into a bun with clouds, and she was holding a few glass beads and hairpins, looking clean, delicate and bright.

He slowly withdrew his gaze, and the look in his eyes became more and more unpleasant.

When he was about to die, it turned out that Su Jiu took care of him......

He still remembered how he had threatened the girl in the Imperial Study more than a month ago.

Su Jiu took in the changes in his expression, and said lightly: "You don't have to think about it, I take care of you, just because you are the emperor of the Great Qi Kingdom." If you are alive, Daqi can still be stable, and if you die, Daqi is afraid that it will be stormy. ”

"Heh......" Yuan Xiao chuckled a few times, "just because of that?" In addition to the Great Qi Emperor, I am also Huai Jin's father. You take care of me, there is no reason for him? ”

"It has nothing to do with him." Su Jiu paused word by word, "Just because I am a citizen of Great Qi, and you are the emperor of Great Qi." ”

Yuan Xiao was silent.

Su Jiu reminded in a low voice: "The emperor's health is deteriorating, which is very abnormal. In the eyes of the people's daughter, I am afraid that she has been poisoned by chronic poison, so it is better to ask the imperial doctor to come for treatment. The folk girl knows an imperial doctor in Tai Hospital, and his medical skills are excellent. ”

Yuan Xiao was noncommittal.

His fingertips brushed the cup lightly, his eyelashes drooping, and he couldn't tell what he was thinking.

Su Jiu frowned, "Your Majesty?!" ”

"No need...... Yuan Xiao smiled indifferently, "From the first bowl of medicine I knew, I knew that there was something added to the medicine. It's just that...... How could I be willing to reject her? Twenty-two years of parting, I have tasted enough. The blood debt owed back then should also be repaid. ”

Su Jiu is still very unfamiliar with the history of more than 20 years ago.

She only knew that Yuan Xiao seemed to be particularly fond of Xue Chengcheng.

I love it so much that I can die for her.

Outside the hall, the sound of Huan Pei Lingding sounded.

"She's here......" A trace of anticipation and joy appeared in Yuan Xiao's eyes, remembering something, he beckoned to Su Jiu, "You come here." ”

Su Jiu hesitated and stepped forward.

She bowed her head at Yuan Xiao's signal and heard a few of his whispers.

calmly and unhurriedly, every word is all about Xiao Tingchen's plan.

Su Jiu's face turned a little pale.

She looked at Yuan Xiao, who was coughing.

He doesn't look like an emperor now, just an amiable old father.

And he left so many hands for Xiao Tingchen, and he seemed to be ready to die at any time.

Xue Chengcheng opened the bead curtain and walked slowly.

She held a lacquered wooden tray in her hand, and the black medicinal juice in the small bowl of white jade gave off a strange taste.

"Your Majesty," she ignored Su Jiu and sat down on the edge of the couch with a smile, "The concubine has come to deliver medicine to you." ”

The slender jade hand scooped up a spoonful of medicine, and she sent it to Yuan Xiao's lips with a smile.

Yuan Xiao stared at her and drank her medicine without hesitation.

Su Jiu stood beside him and watched silently, he knew that the medicine was poisonous, but he still ate spoonful after spoonful.

Those peach blossom eyes are full of vicissitudes, as well as the affectionate ...... that has been precipitated for more than 20 years

After drinking the medicine, Xue Chengcheng wanted to leave, but Yuan Xiao suddenly held her hand.

His face was full of reluctance, "Cheng Cheng...... Accompany me. ”

Xue Chengcheng looked at him.

Yuan Xiao smiled obsessively, "When I was young, I thought that if I earned the world, I would be able to earn your people and your hearts, but I didn't know that what you loved was not power and power at all, but the person Yuan Hui."

"I tried my best to win over the magnates of the Chang'an family, and finally forced the palace twenty-two years ago. I killed my brother and father, exterminated the family that disobeyed me, and finally single-handedly took control of the power I wanted.

"I thought I had become the emperor of the world, and whether it was a beautiful woman, I would give it all to me. But at that time, I was young and immersed in the great fulfillment of my wishes, and I didn't expect what the price of obtaining the throne was.

"In ancient times, the emperor called himself a 'widow', until I had no one to drink wine with during the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Chinese New Year's Eve, until I was full of guilt when I worshiped my father and brother, and until I still felt lonely in the face of the three thousand beauties of the harem, I really understood what the so-called 'widow' was......"

Yuan Xiao's voice was hoarse.

Su Jiu saw that his peach blossom eyes were gradually moistening, as if there were old tears.

And the smile on Xue Chengcheng's original face had long since dissipated, leaving only a bone-chilling coldness and disgust.

"Now that I am willing to die in the hands of Cheng Cheng, can Cheng Cheng forgive me for my ignorance and impulsiveness back then?" Yuan Xiao held Xue Chengcheng's hand tightly, his eyes full of longing for redemption.

As an emperor, he should have been younger than his peers.

But just as Su Jiu found when he first saw him, Yuan Xiao's eyebrows and eyes were always a little haggard, and there was blue and black spreading under his eyes.

Now that I think about it, it must be because I feel so guilty all these years that I can't sleep at night.

For the sake of the so-called throne, is it really worth killing your father and brother with your own hands?

When Yuan Xiao's life was dying, he still longed for forgiveness, even if he had to pay for it, he was willing to pay for it.

However, Xue Chengcheng was destined to disappoint him.
