She stroked her sister's hair as if she were a child.

"You're going to become the empress of Suzaku, you can't cry like this in the future."

Bi Lanting closed her eyes, and she couldn't stop her tears at all: "Don't say that, you'll be fine soon." I won't be an empress, and I don't love to be an empress. I can't be a ......."

"Lan Ting." Ah Zhao interrupted her lightly.

"You can do it."

Bi Lanting sobbed and looked at Ah Zhao.

"You have to think about Suzaku, think about the court, think about the people." Ah Zhao looked at her gently, "You have to hold up a piece of heaven for them." ”

"Sister......

Ah Zhao closed his eyes tiredly: "I'm a little tired." ”

Bi Lanting closed her mouth and personally helped her lie down and covered the quilt.

After that, he covered his face and walked out of the inner sanctum, crying loudly.

……

A few days later, it was early in the morning.

It was cold.

Ah Zhao is in good spirits.

"Help me out for a walk." She said to the people around her.

Bi Lanting, who had been by her side for the past few days, realized something, and her eyes turned red all of a sudden.

But she didn't say anything, and personally put on a cloak for Ah Zhao, put on a hood, and helped her out.

As she walked, she said with a smile: "It's a little windy outside today, and it is said that the red plums in the plum garden have already shown their buds." ”

Ah Zhao smiled and said, "Really? Let's take a look. ”

The group walked slowly towards the plum garden.

The plum garden was very clean and quiet.

In the whistling north wind, you can still smell a faint cold fragrance.

Ah Zhao took a breath of cold wind and coughed twice before he said with a smile: "It's a pity that there is no snow." ”

She looked at the plums, and she didn't know what she remembered, so she whispered for a long time: "It has to snow to look good." ”

After watching Mei, Ah Zhao was a little tired.

Bi Lanting held back her tears and said let's go back.

Ah Zhao nodded.

Bi Lanting asked someone to break a few plums, saying that they were inserted in the Suzaku Palace.

When I went back, I passed by Pujia Palace.

Ah Zhao glanced there, and sighed again: "It's a pity, there is no snow." ”

When it snows, you can see the ice crystal tree.

Bi Lanting snorted and said in a dumb voice: "There will be, I see, maybe it will snow tonight." ”

Ah Zhao closed his eyes lightly and answered in a low voice.

"Hmm."

As soon as Zhao returned to the Suzaku Palace, he fell.

The imperial doctor has been guarding, and hurriedly came over to check the pulse and check.

The Empress lying on the bed closed her eyes tightly, and did not respond to the call around her.

Night.

It's snowing.

Pieces of goose feather snow fell from the sky.

Bi Lanting called out to her in Ah Zhao's ear: "Sister, it's snowing, and the palace people say that the ice crystal flower tree is about to bloom." Get up and take a look. ”

No one answered her.

The breath of the person on the bed gradually faded.

——

"Boom-"

The long and heavy bell rang in the sky over the entire Suzaku King.

Hua Yong, who had just arrived at the city gate, panicked, and rolled directly off the horse.

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!"

The knights behind him dismounted and helped him up.

Hua Yong's hair bun was messed up, and the back of his hand was also scratched, which was hot and painful.

But he didn't feel anything at this point.

He grabbed the hand of the guard who was holding him, and asked word by word, "Just now, just now, did you hear anything?" ”

The guard bowed his head: "Your Majesty, it's the death knell." ”

Knock –

A second sound followed.

Hua Yong's face turned pale.

- The emperor died, and the death knell sounded.
