Regarding this matter, Xiao Sheng told Xiao Dongli not to mention it in front of Yu Jin, and in addition, let Xiao Dongli accompany his mother more and not let Yu Jin go alone.

Later, Xiao Dongli thought that as early as a long time ago, Xiao Sheng used him and stared at his mother. And he stupidly thought that his father's love and doting on him was out of his original intention.

Years later, he realized that he was nothing more than a tool.

And Xiao Sheng, from beginning to end, had no heart.

So much so that when Xiao Dongming was defeated, Xiao Sheng didn't even frown. A cold person is ruthless to anyone.

Yu Hibiscus is very good at making kites, and she makes a kite every day.

"Mother, what are you doing with so many kites?" Xiao Dongli put down the poetry book in his hand and walked over with great interest.

"Are you in the mood to leave your child?" Yu Jin asked with a smile.

Xiao Dongli nodded, "I like kites." ”

"This kite is also taught by others, and my mother will teach you, and when you meet your beloved in the future, you will make a big kite for her and take her to the sky." The light in Yu Jin's eyes is crystal bright and shiny, and it is particularly beautiful.

"Did you fly over?" Xiao Dongli asked.

Yu Jin smiled and stroked his head, "Yes." ”

"With my father?" Xiao Dongli asked again.

When the voice fell, Yu Jin's eyes were gloomy, and he smiled without saying a word.

In the sky above the Seven Kings' Mansion, kites are always flying, except for rainy days, without exception. Xiao Zan often stood outside the wall, looking at the kites fixedly, pouring a sip of bitter wine.

In the twenty-third year of Wenchang, the emperor was seriously ill.

The atmosphere in the imperial court suddenly became tense, and the palace was full of guards from the Imperial Forest Army.

"Grandpa?" Xiao Dongli knelt in front of the emperor's bed, looked at the sallow and dying emperor, lowered his head and wiped his tears, "Grandpa Huang, you will definitely get better." ”

The emperor smiled, "Li'er has grown up, and men don't flick when they have tears." ”

The queen and the nineteenth princess Xiao Lin sat on the edge of the bed, "Your Majesty, don't worry, this is super up and down, with the ministers watching, it will be fine." Now you are recuperating in peace, and when you are cured—"

The Emperor waved his hand, "It's not going to be better." ”

He almost wanted to get up, but he couldn't.

Seeing this, the eunuchs below hurriedly stepped forward. The emperor shook his hand, "Let the minions go down, I have something to say to you." ”

Hearing this, the queen naturally understood.

The minions all went down, the queen carried the emperor to the front of the case, Xiao Dongli and Xiao Lin stood at the bottom, watching the emperor tremble and pick up the imperial pen, and I didn't know what to write. Written on the golden silk embroidered dragon Huang Juan, it should be a holy decree.

When he finished writing, the emperor didn't say much, just looked at his wife with a smile. The queen nodded, accepted the holy decree and put it in her sleeve, "If there is really such a day, the concubines will definitely live up to the emperor's trust." ”

The Emperor sighed softly, "I'm old. Looking up at Xiao Dongli, "Li'er, come to the emperor's grandfather." ”

Xiao Dongli hesitated for a moment, walked up cautiously, and called "Imperial Grandpa" in a low voice.

"Li'er, you are very smart, and Grandpa Huang likes it very much. But Li'er, the people in this world, the things in the world, are not just as simple as what you see with your eyes, you have to remember to look at it with your heart. Human nature is good and evil, and people's hearts are sinister, which cannot be clearly explained in a few words. The emperor stroked Xiao Dongli's eyebrows, "The old lady said, your eyebrows are the sun and the moon, and your mouth and nose are like mountains and rivers, which is the appearance of the emperor." I don't care if you're an emperor or not, I really like to leave my son. But Li'er, Jiangshan Sheji is not just talking on paper. Can you tell the imperial grandfather what is the way of kingship? ”

"My father said that a monarch should have the world in mind and rule the country with benevolence and righteousness." Xiao Dong left the mouth.

The emperor shook his head, "That's what your father said, and what Grandpa Huang wants is your answer." ”

Xiao Dongli raised his head, "My grandson thinks that the world is public and the people are the foundation." If you don't know the suffering of the people, you can't do politics. I don't know the worries of the people, so I can't enter the court. If you don't know the fear of the people, you can't raise troops. ”

"Who taught you that?" The emperor asked.

Xiao Dongli said, "No one teaches his grandson, it was when his grandson passed by the long street and saw the begging people that he was moved." ”

The emperor nodded with satisfaction, "Then my decision is not wrong. After thinking about it, the emperor straightened his body, "Li'er, kowtow to me!" ”

When the sound fell, Xiao Dongli did not hesitate, knelt down, and kowtowed fiercely, "Grandson kowtows to Grandpa Huang." ”

The emperor glanced at the empress, and the empress naturally understood, sighed lightly, and didn't say anything.

It wasn't until Xiao Dongli left that Xiao Lin stepped forward, "What did my father write?" ”

The emperor beckoned, "Lin'er, come here." ”

Xiao Lin smiled and sat on the emperor's lap, "Father, rest assured, my father's illness will definitely get better." ”

"Father vomited blood today, and the news will spread in less than half a day." The emperor hugged his beloved daughter tightly, "So my father can't keep you anymore." ”

The queen carefully untied a necklace from Xiao Lin's neck, and took off a pair of jade rings hanging from the top of the necklace, "This is still what you gave me back then, and it's been decades." ”

The emperor said, "Lin'er has to look carefully." ”

Xiao Lin's eyes widened, watching the queen take off the hairpin from her head, and then took out the extremely valuable dragon and phoenix seal, and poked the top of the hairpin into the eyes of the dragon and phoenix. The dragon and phoenix seal was opened instantly, and the queen put a jade ring in it and closed the dragon and phoenix seal again.

"Queen Mother, why can this be opened?" Xiao Lin was stunned.

"Lin'er has remembered everything?" The queen asked.

Xiao Lin nodded, "Remember." ”

The queen was relieved, "You are not allowed to tell anyone about this, unless one day you have only one breath left, you can entrust this thing to others." But the premise is that it must be trusted by you and worthy of trust. If the world is peaceful, there should be no such thing. If the world is in turmoil, you, as a princess, must stand up. You may not understand what the Queen Mother said today, but you must keep it in mind. The world is the most important, you are the daughter of your father and mother, you have to pick this burden, and you have to pick it if you don't pick it. ”

"Yes." Xiao Lin nodded fiercely.

"Liu Ying, take the princess down." The queen sighed softly.

Liu Ying quickly entered the door, and saw the emperor and the queen with solemn faces at first glance, knowing that there would be great changes in the world, "The queen can rest assured, even if the slave and maid die, they will protect the princess." ”

The queen nodded, "With you here, the palace can rest assured." ”

Seeing Liu Ying and Xiao Lin leave, the queen turned her head to look at the dying emperor, "The concubine will hand over the holy decree and the jade ring to the commander of the forbidden army, and the emperor can rest assured." ”

"Stay safe." The emperor was extremely tired, so he was carried by the queen and returned to the mattress, "I am afraid that it will not work, the kings know it, and they will definitely take action." I decided to let the eleventh go to Ganzhou, which is remote, but maybe I can save his life. Wait and see, it won't be long before this palace is no longer my palace. ”

The queen cried tears, "The emperor can rest assured, if the emperor dies, the concubines will definitely keep an eye on the court for you, and when Lin'er is sent away, the concubines and the emperor will inevitably live and die together." We have been through ups and downs for so many years, how can we be willing to let you go alone? ”

The Emperor choked up and took the Empress's hand.
