"How is the emperor's dragon embodiment today?" One day, after going to court, Zhao Zheng summoned the chief physician.

Zhao Zheng asked knowingly, he had to visit Zhao Guang almost every day, and he knew Zhao Guang's situation well, these days, Zhao Guang was awake for longer and longer.

Yesterday, Zhao Zheng went to visit, Zhao Guang was awake, and Zhao Guang was emaciated by being in bed for a long time, his eyes were cloudy and flashing with sharp light, he looked at Zhao Zheng and didn't say a word, but his eyes were hostile.

Zhao Guangzheng worked hard to recover his health, he knew Zhao Zheng too well, and once the imperial power fell into his hands, he would not return it to the crown prince. , because he wants to protect himself, and this is a fight to the death.

Although Zhao Guang's mind is very clear, his body is not under his control, he is no longer able to get out of bed, and he has to rest for a while to say a few words.

The imperial doctor said that this was because the emperor had been ill for too long, his body was too weak, and he was in a hurry to come, so he had to take care of it slowly, get up little by little, get off the ground, walk, and recover slowly.

"The emperor is recovering." The chief physician said.

"Didn't you say it was incurable?" Zhao Zheng sat at the desk in the Qinzheng Palace, knocked on the desk with one hand, and said casually.

"It's Weichen's misjudgment, the emperor is the son of heaven, he has God's protection, a few days ago, the emperor spit out a mouthful of blood, and the crooked beating made the condition much better." The Imperial Physician bowed his head and replied.

When the imperial doctor said that he vomited blood, when Zhao Guang learned that Zhao was now taking care of the affairs of the government for him, Zhao Guang spit out a mouthful of blood, and his breath was much more stable.

"Then you have to take good care of it, and when the emperor recovers, I will reward you for your work." Zhao Zheng said.

"Wechen doesn't dare, this is all Wechen's duty." When the imperial physician heard this, he replied with sincere fear.

Zhao Zheng smiled and let the imperial doctor go down.

Then Zhao Zheng continued to review the folds in the Qinzheng Palace.

Not long after, Sun Delu personally came in with tea and poured Zhao Zheng a cup of tea as he had served the emperor before, "Seventh Prince, you have worked hard these days. ”

Zhao Zheng put down the cinnabar pen in his hand, took a sip of the tea made by Sun Delu, and then said: "In the past, I looked at the great country and the people's peace, and I only knew that the imperial brother was a good way to govern the country, and I really knew the difficulty of the imperial brother in taking care of the government for the imperial brother these days. ”

Sun Delu also nodded with feeling, "What you said is very true, the slave has been serving by the emperor's side, and he knows the emperor's difficulty the most, and this time it is thanks to you here to help the emperor support the situation, otherwise this court will not know what the chaos will be." ”

"As a member of the royal family, this is what I should do, and when the royal brother is healthy, I can be happy again."

Hearing this, Sun Delu smiled and nodded.

In the evening, after dinner, Zhao Zheng went to visit Zhao Guang.

Sun Delu was waiting for Zhao Guang to drink a little gruel, Zhao Zheng asked Zhao Guang for peace, Zhao Guang did not respond, and continued to drink the porridge one by one.

Zhao Guang drank the porridge hard, as if he was trying to finish drinking a bowl of porridge, so that his strength would increase quickly.

Zhao Zheng watched from the sidelines and did not speak.

It wasn't until a bowl of porridge was served that Sun Delu let Zhao Guang drink a few more sips of water, which made Zhao Guang half lean on the bed.

Zhao Guang closed his eyes and struggled to adjust his breathing, but he drank a bowl of porridge, he was already sweating, he was too weak.

The bedroom was quiet, Zhao Guang closed his eyes, and Zhao Zheng did not speak. Only the palace maid came in and took down the emperor's used plate. Not long after, another palace maid came in, soaked warm water in a soft towel, and helped Zhao Zheng wipe his face.

The bedroom was covered with a thick carpet, and everyone walked on it silently, which made the room even more dreary and oppressive.

After the palace maids all retired, Sun Delu helped Zhao Guang massage his body. Zhao Guang kept his eyes closed, and Zhao Zheng never spoke.

After a while, Zhao Guang's breath calmed down, and he waved his hand at Sun Delu, signaling him to go down.

Sun Delu retreated.

There were only two brothers Zhao Zheng and Zhao Guang left in the bedroom, Zhao Guang turned his head to look at Zhao Zheng, "You've worked hard these days." ”

Zhao Zheng stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Brother Huang is polite. ”

Zhao Guang tugged at the corners of his mouth, and paused for a while before saying, "The queen and the crown prince, they haven't come to see me for a long time." ”

"Brother Huang, when you were asleep, they may have come to visit." Zhao Zheng replied.

Zhao Guang didn't say anything for a long time, and finally just waved his hand weakly and motioned for Zhao Zheng to go down.

After Zhao Zheng left, Sun Delu came in and still helped Zhao Guang pinch his body.

"Sun Delu, you say, will anyone listen to my decree now?" After a long time, Zhao Guang asked weakly.

Sun Delu was taken aback when he heard this, and replied in a low voice: "What are you talking about, Your Majesty, you are the emperor, who will you listen to if you don't listen to your will." ”

"Thanks to you for following me for so many years, can't you see the situation now?" Zhao Guang said laboriously, and after a pause, he said: "Today's Nanxia is all in the hands of Lao Qi. ”

Sun Delu was even more surprised, he had been serving Zhao Guang wholeheartedly during this time, and he really didn't pay much attention to the affairs of the court, he just thought that Zhao Zheng was helping the Zhao family to guard the imperial power, how could he expect that Zhao Zheng would covet the throne?

"What does the emperor mean?" Sun Delu approached Zhao Guang and asked in a low voice.

"Tomorrow morning, when the dynasty comes, I will issue an edict to remove the old seven from the errand of taking charge of government affairs." Zhao Guang said.

Sun Delu hurriedly responded.

"But I don't know that my will has not been counted." Zhao Guang finally said helplessly.

Sun Delu realized the seriousness of the situation at this time, but he still comforted: "Your Majesty, you are the Son of Heaven and the emperor of Southern Xia, and your will is naturally the greatest. ”

Zhao Guang closed his eyes and didn't say anything more.

When he was about to go to bed late at night, Zhao Guang said to Sun Delu: "You have been staying up for so many days, so you can go and rest today, and let others serve you." ”

Sun Delu refused to go, he was used to serving the emperor, he knew the emperor's preferences and habits, and he was not at ease when he changed others.

The emperor no longer insisted, and pointed to the soft couch on the side, "You go there to rest, I will call you if I need you." ”

Sun Delu obeyed the order this time, "Emperor Xie is compassionate." ”

**

The next day, according to Zhao Guang's instructions, Sun Delu wrote the holy decree on behalf of others and went to the Jinluan Hall to deliver the decree.

On the Jinluan Palace, Zhao Zhengzheng and hundreds of civil and military officials were in the early court, and suddenly a holy decree arrived, making everyone quiet.

Zhao Zheng walked in front of the palace people who delivered the decree, and did not kneel down to accept the decree, but reached out and took the holy decree from the palace people's hands.

Zhao Zheng glanced at the holy decree, then closed it, and said to everyone: "The emperor is very grateful to this king for taking care of the government these days, and intends to reward this king," Zhao Zheng looked at the palace person, "Go back and report to the emperor, this king will receive the decree and thank you." ”

Although the palace people knew that what Zhao Zheng said was wrong, they also knew that they didn't say much, and turned around and went down.

In the Jinluan Palace, continue the early dynasty.

The palace people returned to the emperor's bedroom and replied to Sun Delu word for word Zhao Zheng's words.

Sun Delu's heart was completely cold, and the emperor's worries were not right.

But at this moment, the emperor is sick, and he can't tell the emperor openly, so he can only hide it.

So when the emperor asked, Sun Delu hurriedly replied: "Yes, the emperor, the will has been transmitted, and the seventh prince has also received the will, so you can rest assured." ”

Oh, when the emperor heard this, he smiled, and after a long time, he said, "The general trend has gone."

When Sun Delu heard these words, his nose was sour, and he almost burst into tears, but there was no way, he was just a slave, as long as he could serve the emperor wholeheartedly at this moment, let him live one more day.

On that day, after the early dynasty, even the emperor's dormitory was isolated, the palace people inside were not allowed to go out, and the palace people outside were not allowed to enter, and all the expenses were received outside the palace.

A few days later, the emperor's condition deteriorated and he died in Youshi.

The whole country mourns.

After the queen heard the bad news, she did not cry, but only asked people to hand a secret letter to the queen mother, and then committed suicide.

When Zhao Zheng learned of the death of the queen, he said that the queen and the emperor were very affectionate, and they could not bear the grief and died of martyrdom, and their feelings could be expressed and commendable, and they were buried in the imperial tomb with the emperor, and their deeds were written into poems and praised, so that the world could take it as an example.

Within two days, the emperor and queen passed away one after another, white silk was hung everywhere in the palace, and the capital was also solemnly mourned, no one laughed, and the atmosphere was solemn and sad.

Everyone in the palace also changed into plain clothes and began to guard the national mourning.

Although Shen Yuexi was bulky, she still changed into mourning clothes and went to the palace.

The coffins of the emperor and the queen were placed side by side, and all the civil and military officials were dressed in white and kowtowed.

The prince knelt in front of the coffin in a filial piety suit to guard the spirit.

The concubines knelt on both sides of the coffin, and Sun Delu also knelt beside the coffin all the time.

Shen Yuexi was helped by Zhicui to cross the high threshold, looked at Zhao Zheng standing next to the coffin, knelt down in front of the coffin and bowed, and then Zhicui helped Shen Yuexi up, turned around and walked out of the mourning hall.

Outside the mourning hall, Bai Huahua knelt with an official.

Shen Yuexi was pregnant and was exempt from kneeling, and Zhicui helped her to Fushou Palace and went to see the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother hurriedly asked Shen Yuexi to sit down, this kind of day is not good to be too happy, asked a few ready-made words, and was speechless for a while.

"Although there are many rules for funerals in the palace, if you are a person with a body, don't stay up here, go back, so that you can give birth to your body, and you must add a white and fat man to the Kangping Palace." After a while, the Queen Mother said to Shen Yuexi.

Shen Yuexi thanked the Queen Mother for her grace and left the palace.

Walking out of the palace gate, Shen Yuexi looked back, the former solemn palace was desolate by white cloth, and a generation of heavenly sons came to an end.
