"How is this possible?"

The emperor shook his head resolutely, "You mean, I was infected with the epidemic and was saved by Ji Yushen?" In that case, why did he deliberately let me get infected with the epidemic in the first place? ”

Su Youyi shook her head, "The concubine doesn't know." But this ancient prescription came from the Ji Mansion and was deliberately sent to the imperial doctors by Ji Yushen's order, but it is a fact. ”

The emperor was silent for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.

Ji Yushen is a scheming person, even if he is as smart as the emperor and understands Ji Yushen like Su Youyi, he doesn't dare to say that he understands everything he does.

After a while, the emperor raised his head, "You are telling me that when Ji Yushen gave this prescription, he no longer had the intention of killing the king." Was it because I wanted to kill him that he had to poison me? ”

At this moment, the emperor doesn't know how much remorse there should be.

Su Youyi can fully understand this mood.

She also regretted it, if she had been more resolute and worked harder to oppose the emperor's decision to execute Ji Yushen, would all this not have happened?

Everybody will be fine.

It's a pity that everything was late.

The emperor raised his head and sneered, his smile was hoarse, and he didn't know whether he was hiding his remorse, or if he was lamenting that he was making people happy.

He was bent on Ji Yushen's life, but he was also killed by Ji Yushen unknowingly.

When you think about it, he doesn't do him any good.

Su Youyi listened to his laughter, like a thatched hut that was crumbling by the wind, and the thatch had been rolled up for nine days.

After a long time, the emperor said: "Queen, do you hate me?" I killed your benefactor, and I killed your husband, do you hate me? ”

"Concubines don't hate."

She has been disappointed in the emperor and complained, but she has no hatred.

"The concubines can all rely on the emperor one day, even if the emperor does something wrong, the concubines don't hate it. The concubine was born in the countryside and lost her father at an early age. It's a blessing to be able to survive, but what more can you ask for? ”

The emperor finally understood.

Su Youyi is not indisputable, not that she does not admire fame and fortune, but she has never had much hope for him.

She never dared to ask for these things he could give, this was not simply well-behaved, maybe more alienation.

Between him and Su Youyi, they have never been the most affectionate and loving couple.

……

Fireworks spread like water in the night sky.

The children laughed and danced, this was the most lively year in the palace for a long time, and the young princes added a lot of joy to the solemn court.

Perhaps infected by this joy, the emperor, who has been seriously ill, can barely get up.

"Emperor, the Chinese New Year's Eve Palace Banquet Empress with her concubines and princes are waiting for you, the slave will help you go, right?"

I thought that the emperor would not be able to get up, but I didn't expect his spirit to suddenly improve, Gao Qishou was overjoyed, and he was busy helping him to the palace banquet.

The emperor rejected his proposal.

"I'm going to pick up the Star Pavilion."

Picking the Stars?

Gao Qishou was at a loss, "Your Majesty, what are you going to do there now?" The queen and the prince are in the Baoying Palace! ”

The emperor didn't speak, and walked directly out of the hall like a magic barrier, Gao Qishou hurriedly asked people to carry the sedan chair, and went to the Star Picking Pavilion according to the emperor's wishes.

The Xingxing Pavilion is next to the Yongshou Palace, and when passing by the Yongshou Palace, the emperor asked the sedan chair to stop.

Yongshou Palace used to be Su Youyi's residence, and after Su Youyi moved to Kunning Palace, Yongshou Palace was vacant, and only eunuchs and palace maids were responsible for sprinkling and sweeping every day.

Because it has only been vacant for a short time, it is still new and beautiful.

The emperor sat on the sedan chair and looked over, and after a while, he waved his hand, and the sedan chair continued to move forward, stopping outside the Star Picking Pavilion.

Now it seems that the Star Picking Pavilion is such a small place, and it is far worse than the Yongshou Palace next to it.

But the emperor's deepest memory of Su Youyi is still here, on the star-picking tower.

He raised his head high, looked at the tower, Gao Qishou said with interest: "Your Majesty, this tower is according to the emperor's orders, and there are people who take care of it every day, does the emperor want to go up?" ”

The emperor nodded.

Gao Qishou carefully helped him up, and when he walked up the steps, the emperor's legs trembled slightly, which frightened Gao Qishou and feared that he would roll down the stairs.

Fortunately, he made it to the fourth floor safely.

Looking at the passage leading to the top of the tower, the emperor did not try, and knew that he could not jump.

He smiled, "Gao Qishou, squat down." ”

Gao Qishou squatted down as if resigned to his fate, and only said: "Your Majesty, you must be careful and slow down." ”

The emperor stepped on Gao Qishou's shoulder and climbed up, and after a long time, Gao Qishou felt a lightness on his shoulder, and the emperor climbed up.

The posture is not very graceful, which makes Gao Qishou sour for a while.

He couldn't climb up on his own, so he could only listen below, and heard the emperor's footsteps turn around the room, and then stopped, and about the emperor sat down.

He waited at the bottom for a while, and whispered: "Your Majesty, it's windy above, why don't you come down?" ”

No response was heard.

Gao Qishou jumped up, and vaguely saw that the emperor seemed to be lying on the bed.

The emperor may be tired.

He simply squatted down against the pillar, and said in his heart that he would call the emperor again in a while.

But after a long time, the emperor still didn't move, and the person sent by Su Youyi to invite the emperor had already come for the second time.

Gao Qishou vaguely felt that something was wrong.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"

He was louder, but still didn't hear any response.

Now he was completely panicked, and hurriedly called the little eunuch to come and hump him up, he climbed to the top of the tower, and saw the emperor lying on the bed with his eyes closed.

"Your Majesty?"

No response.

Gao Qishou's forehead instantly gushed with sweat, and he slowly approached the emperor, "Your Majesty? ”

The hand touched the emperor's face, but he didn't feel any snort, and then tentatively put it on the side of his neck, without any traces of beating.

Poof.

Gao Qishou fell to his knees heavily.

At the same time, he raised his voice and looked up to the sky. Huh, "Your Majesty, you're dead!" ”

……

Chinese New Year's Eve was originally a day of universal celebration.

Because the emperor died suddenly, all the decorations and ceremonies in the palace for the New Year were packed up and changed.

Fortunately, the emperor has been ill for a long time, and the Internal Affairs Office has already taken care of everything, and the emperor's body was placed in the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, and the concubines and princes knelt in a circle to mourn.

Outside the hall are the courtiers dressed plainly and mourning, and then the outer circle is the court women, the palace people......

Su Youyi knelt beside the emperor's corpse.

When the palace people changed into a shroud for him, Su Youyi suddenly discovered that he had lost a lot of weight in the past two years since he was seriously ill, and his body was lighter.

In this way, he didn't know how to get to the top floor of the Star Picking Tower when he was dying.

Gao Qishou was on the side, telling everyone the last scene before the emperor's death, "The emperor only said that he wanted to go to the Star Picking Tower, and refused to go to the palace banquet." The emperor stepped on the shoulders of the servants, and lay on the bed, without responding for a long time. ”
