An unceremonious question startled the women. The Queen Mother saw that Sima Hongyan had no respect on her face at this time, and the few female soldiers who followed behind her also had unkind faces, and she panicked in her heart, but she still maintained the majesty of the royal family, and asked sharply: "What do you want to do when you see the emperor?" ”

Nan Xunyan had been listening to it irritating for a long time, she didn't care about the queen mother and the queen, although she knew that the queen mother was her grandmother, but she didn't feel close. Hearing that they had been unceremoniously questioning Sima Hongyan, he couldn't help but speak directly: "We just put down another rebellion outside, and now we come to visit the emperor, but you are here to ask questions, why can't we see you in times of crisis?" Now I will only be here to help the heroes who saved the country! ”

Unexpectedly, even the entourage around Sima Hongyan dared to shout here, and the Queen Mother and those concubines were so angry that their faces turned pale.

The queen shouted and said: "It's the opposite, it's the opposite, Sima Hongyan, you are a disobedient and disobedient person, you conniving at your subordinates to despise the queen mother and the emperor, you are the real rebels and thieves." Come on, come on, drag them out of the palace and put them in prison. ”

"Alright, alright!" Sima Hongyan said impatiently: "When is it, are you still in the mood to play prestige here?" Yan Qi was just ambushed for rebellion, he is a rebellious minister and thief, you have time to discipline your children more, don't just play prestige and bully outsiders. ”

"You, you ......" The Queen Mother was choked by Sima Hongyan, at this time those concubines had all gathered around the Queen Mother, and they said to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, this Sima Hongyan is too rude, if you don't deal with her, where is our royal face?" ”

Sima Hongyan had a headache for these harem women, and found that they were really useless except for fighting for favor and instigating trouble.

Without waiting for the Queen Mother to speak, Sima Hongyan suddenly sneered and said, "Am I rude? It's really ridiculous, in just a few days, the prince mutinied, the prince rebelled, the emperor was assassinated, what happened so many big things, what are you all doing? Do you know how many people outside the palace have died because of this? How many people have died because of this? Royal face? It's worthless bullshit to me! You have face, the emperor is now seriously injured and life and death are uncertain, you look at yourself again, one by one you are wearing flowers and branches, painting heavy makeup, do you have the emperor in your heart? Is there such a country? Who the is telling me this nonsense again, don't blame me for being rude to her. I asked again one last time, where is the emperor? ”

All the women in the room were frightened by Sima Hongyan's words, and they asked righteously, making them speechless and embarrassed. The Queen Mother was also said to be stunned, looking at Sima Hongyan blankly, and the majesty just now was scolded by Sima Hongyan for a moment.

At this time, Yan Hong didn't know where to come out, he walked up to Sima Hongyan and said, "You are here, the emperor is behind, you come with me." "I didn't glance at the vulgar fans in the room all the time.

Sima Hongyan nodded and followed Yan Hong and walked inside, Nan Xunyan and the others glanced at those stunned women with contempt, and followed behind Sima Hongyan.

Entering through a side door, Sima Hongyan asked Yan Hongdao in front, "How is your injury?" ”

Yan Hong smiled indifferently and said, "It's okay anymore." The emperor is seriously injured, I think I am afraid that I will not be able to hold on for too long, if you have anything you want to ask, just ask as soon as possible! ”

Yan Hong's words shocked Sima Hongyan's heart, and the meaning of the obedient words seemed to Yan Hong to know something, but he couldn't see Yan Hong's face in the back, Sima Hongyan hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but ask.

After passing through a short corridor and coming to an inner room, Sima Hongyan saw that the imperial doctors of Yanling were all inside, and his face was sad. Walking in and opening a door, a strong smell of medicine came to his nose, and Sima Hongyan saw Emperor Yanzhen lying on the bed inside.

Let Nan Xunyan and a few people stay outside the house, Sima Hongyan walked in, Yan Hong looked at his father who was lying on the bed, and said to Sima Hongyan: "I'm outside, you can call me if you have something." After speaking, he went out and closed the door, leaving Sima Hongyan alone in the house.

Sima Hongyan really had something to say to Emperor Yanzhen alone, but she didn't expect Yan Hong to seem to know her thoughts, and Sima Hongyan's understanding of Yan Hong in her heart really didn't know what to say.

Slowly walked to the bed, looking at Emperor Yanzhen who was lying there with his eyes closed, his chest wrapped in a white cloth, and he could vaguely see blood oozing from his heart. His chest heaved slightly, his breathing was weak, and his face was extremely pale from excessive blood loss.

After being so seriously injured and not dying for a while, it seems that he must have used the secret medicine in the palace to hang his breath, and it is almost impossible to cure his life.

Sima Hongyan didn't speak, just looked at Emperor Yanzhen quietly, she had a lot of thoughts and inexplicable feelings. The person in front of him is the king of a country in Yanling, he is calculating, full of ambitions, and anyone is a pawn he can use. However, at this moment, he fell under the sword of his own son, and he survived.

It is said that the world makes people, isn't he the emperor also a chess piece placed by heaven in the world?

If you are an emperor, you will have the ambition to dominate the world, Sima Hongyan thinks this is right. But can we achieve the goal at all costs and by all means, or even abandon all moral reason for this?

Those who betray others will be betrayed sooner or later, and Emperor Yanzhen lying here is the best proof of this.

The groggy Emperor Yanzhen seemed to feel that someone was in front of his bed, so he slowly opened his eyes and saw Sima Hongyan standing quietly in front of his bed. He only glanced at Sima Hongyan, and suddenly understood why she was here.

Emperor Yanzhen's cloudy gaze interrupted Sima Hongyan's thoughts, she looked at him quietly, she had a lot to ask, but she didn't know where to start.

"I guessed you'd come, and I know what you want to say!" Emperor Yanzhen spoke, although his voice was small and a little vague, but Sima Hongyan could hear every word clearly.

"I don't think it matters what I say, what matters is what you can tell me!" Sima Hongyan replied very plainly.

Emperor Yanzhen looked at Sima Hongyan for a moment and said, "It seems that you already know a lot of things, what else do I want to say to you?" ”

"Why do you want to hurt my father? He is so loyal to you, what are you for? Sima Hongyan asked the biggest question in his heart.

Emperor Yanzhen sighed softly and said, "Because of the Qiankun Seal!" Emperor Yanzhen told the truth without hesitation, and continued: "You shouldn't know that the person I sent to track down Nan Jiuxiao was your father, Sima Yongcheng!" ”

Sima Hongyan was taken aback, and instantly connected a lot of things that he couldn't figure out, and blurted out: "Could it be that my father deliberately let go of Nan Jiuxiao's family back then?" ”

Emperor Yanzhen said: "Yes, I thought the same as you do now. Otherwise, with your father's ability, Nan Jiuxiao may not be able to escape. ”

Sima Hongyan said: "You suspect that Nan Jiuxiao must have told my father the secret of Qiankun Yin, so my father spared the lives of Nan Jiuxiao's family, and deliberately set fire to the house to cover up the whereabouts of Nan Jiuxiao's family." Isn't it? ”

Emperor Yanzhen said: "You are very smart, there are some things that I don't need to say, you can guess them." Did Lan Shuang tell you about those things before? ”

Sima Hongyan didn't intend to hide it, and nodded.

Emperor Yanzhen said: "Originally, I wanted Qi'er to marry Lan Shuang, and then marry you to Dongning, so you may not be able to know this secret for the rest of your life, who knows that people are not as good as heaven, everything is already determined!" ”

With a sigh, Emperor Yanzhen coughed sadly a few times, pulling the wound and making him gasp, and his facial features were almost twisted together.

After a moment of silence, Emperor Yanzhen said again: "If you still want to know, just say it, and I will tell you everything." The only thing I feel guilty about in my life is that I hurt your father. Telling you is also some compensation from me. ”

Sima Hongyan still relied on speculation for most of the previous events, and Sima Hongyan also maintained a half-believing attitude towards Lan Shuang's words, so she repeated the results of her knowledge and speculation to Emperor Yanzhen, and if there was anything incorrect, let Emperor Yanzhen point it out.

Sima Hongyan said, and Emperor Yanzhen listened patiently and calmly. After Sima Hongyan finished speaking, Emperor Yanzhen squeezed out a smile and said, "You are really amazing, you have found out so many things. And the speculation is also very accurate, and it is basically consistent with the facts. ”

got Emperor Yanzhen's affirmative answer, but Sima Hongyan didn't feel the slightest bit relaxed. Faced with this culprit who killed his father, Sima Hongyan unexpectedly found that he had no hatred at all, only deep pity.

Also, what else can she do with a person who is dying?

The two fell silent for a while, and then Sima Hongyan asked, "Is there anything else I can help you do?" Anyway, you were pretty good to me at the beginning, although you were just using me, but I still accept your affection, and if you need me to help you in the end, you can tell me. ”

Listening to Sima Hongyan's words, Emperor Yanzhen's eyes lit up, and he actually showed a mysterious smile, and he said softly: "It's worthy of Sima Hongyan, I really didn't mistake you!" There's really one thing I want to entrust to you. ”

As he spoke, Emperor Yanzhen took out a few holy decrees from the inside of the bed, he raised his head with great effort, as if he had picked one, picked up a holy decree and handed it to Sima Hongyan and continued: "You help me hand over this holy decree to Xiangguo Li Mingzhong and the general Liao Ziling, let the two of them announce the decree together in front of the hundred officials, and let them act according to the decree in the rest of the matter." ”

Sima Hongyan looked at the sealed holy decree, put it in his sleeve, and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will peek?" What if I tamper with the contents? Aren't you worried? ”

Emperor Yanzhen smiled indifferently and said very confidently: "I know, you will never will. ”

Sima Hongyan secretly said that this old fox had already figured out her character.

Immediately, Emperor Yanzhen took out a small box out of nowhere and handed it to Sima Hongyan. As soon as Sima Hongyan took it, she found that this small box was quite heavy, and her first reaction was that what was in this box was the Nine Dead Silver Stone.

Emperor Yanzhen said: "This should be regarded as a gift to thank you, and this is the only one in my hand that can reward you." ”

Such a dangerous thing Sima Hongyan naturally didn't want it to fall into the hands of others again, so he didn't hesitate to take it into his arms.
