"In the other way, I just poisoned the dose a little more, and when I saw the opportunity, I revealed to King Huai that the emperor had established King Rui as the crown prince. I know that King Huai only has this one chance, and he will definitely do whatever it takes to launch a coup d'état. At that time, the emperor will experience a great anger and sorrow, affecting the poison in his body, just waiting for the poison to die. The corners of Xu Shou's mouth slowly overflowed with wisps of curvy blood foam, he covered his stomach, as if he was in pain, and slowly knelt on the ground.

He had calculated the time and had already taken the poison long before. Today, he is determined to die, and he also wants to expose the crimes of Emperor Xuanwu back then, so as to clear King Yu of the stigma that has been borne on him for many years.

"I haven't done it, it's you slave who fell into injustice!" Emperor Xuanwu's face was pale and terrifying, and only the blood coveted from the corners of his mouth had a little color on his entire face. He was furious, his chest rising and falling hard and violently, "I've never done it, I haven't!" ”

Jingrong's lips trembled like a sieve, and a tear slipped down the corner of his eye, splashing on his clothes, and flying flowers swirled. He looked at Xu Shou and his voice choked, "Why are you doing this?" Avenge my father's king? ”

Xu Shou looked at Jingrong and smiled, "When the slave had just entered the palace, he had to believe that his mother was seriously ill. The slave wanted to go out of the palace to see his mother, but he had no way. One day, the minion tried to escape without anyone noticing, but was caught by the guards guarding the door. The palace people did not give instructions to leave the palace without permission, and they would be killed immediately. The slave thought that he would not survive, and when the carriage of King Yu left the palace, King Yu was a well-known virtuous person, so the slave dared to ask him for help. The prince really asked the carriage to stop, and at that moment, the slave saw that the prince's shoes were getting closer and closer to him, and his hope for life was getting bigger and bigger. ”

As if stuck in the memories of the past, he coughed violently before coming back to his senses, "The prince knew that the slave wanted to escape from the palace to visit because the old mother was seriously ill, not only did he not blame him, but let the guards let the slave go home, and gave the slave a sum of money to let the slave treat the old mother." ”

Mushev stood beside him, his hand resting on his arm. Jing Rong flashed tears, looked at Mu Xuefu, and held her hand. The warmth of her hand slowly passed on to him, allowing his heart to be supported.

Jing Rong said: "So you are here to repay my father's kindness." ”

Xu Shou bowed his head and said: "I have always been grateful to King Yu, and I always wanted to repay him, but I didn't expect that before I could repay the favor, he died young." I thought he was depressed because he missed Princess Yu, and after that, there were people in the court who impeached him because of his affairs with the county lord Rongqi at that time, so he died depressed. ”

With hateful eyes, he raised his eyebrows at Emperor Xuanwu angrily, "I really wanted to break my head, I would never have thought that King Yu was actually killed by his own brother." And I, I have been serving this murderer who killed my benefactor for more than ten years! ”

"Nonsense! You traitor, you slandered me, you have wasted so many years to treat you as a confidant, and you have ruined my reputation in turn! Who do you say instructed you? Emperor Xuanwu looked like a lion in a fit of rage, his eyes cracking, and the wrinkles on his forehead deepened as his cheeks twitched.

The queen had no idea as a person, and looking at the blood that kept flowing from Emperor Xuanwu's mouth, her brain was even more panicked. It wasn't until Emperor Xuanwu let out this roar like that of the king of beasts that she sobered up a little. She was so anxious that she became incoherent, "Tai-Doctor, quickly help the emperor to the apse, for--heal the emperor, hurry, hurry!" ”

Her voice was sharp and torn, like a silk cut through the middle. Seeing the hesitant appearance of those imperial doctors, he was angry and said: "If you don't do what this palace says, this palace tells you that if the emperor has three long and two short, this palace will want your life!" ”

Mu Xuefu turned a deaf ear to the queen, took a step forward, and looked at Emperor Xuanwu squarely, "Gonggong Xu didn't lie, I also know about this." Before the Queen Mother died, I hid under the Queen Mother's bed, and heard the Queen Mother and the Emperor talk about this matter, and the Emperor personally admitted that he killed my father-in-law and mother-in-law. With tears in her eyes, she wanted to cry first, "And the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother was not poisoned, but the emperor put her under house arrest, and the Queen Mother was angry to death by this unfilial son!" ”

Jing Rong was shocked and grabbed Mu Xuefu's arm, "Do you know about this?" Then why didn't you tell me earlier! ”

He was indignant, he thought there was no more secret between them, but she kept her mouth shut about it, and did not reveal it to him at all.

Mu Xuefu knew that if she said it, Jing Rong would definitely be angry with herself, but at this time she had to say it.

Mu Xuefu took his hand, stared at him and said, "Yuchen, I'm sorry, I've been hiding this from you." I've always wanted to find a suitable opportunity to tell you, but I'm afraid that if you know the truth, you will be impulsive and do irrational things. ”

Jing Rong closed his eyes and swallowed his throat, resisting the unquenchable anger in his chest. When he opened his eyes again, his dark pupils erupted with devouring light, staring at Emperor Xuanwu, although he didn't say a word, the cold aura emitted by his body dispersed towards the entire hall with him as the center.

Emperor Xuanwu's breathing became longer and thicker, half of his body was already paralyzed, one arm had just been raised and hung down weakly, and only a pair of protruding eyes were staring at Xu Shou and Mu Xuefu's faces, "Slander, you all slander me!" I've never done it, never done it! ”

He slapped his hand on the table fiercely, shaking the vase of the rich peony on the table to fall on the table. The vase was filled with brightly colored roses, and when this was poured, the water in the bottle spilled out in an instant, soaking the petals of the roses beyond recognition.

"You're the opposite! It's all the other way around! All betrayed me! Emperor Xuanwu's eyes gradually blurred, and he leaned forward, his wide sleeves covering the messy petals, as if to hide the stain on his life.

With the stain and how to hide it, the water soaked his sleeves, and the unbearable hiding in the dark still had to be reappeared.

Xu Shou grinned, not only painful but also happy, and the intermittent voice spit out from his sharp throat, "King Yu has the grace to save his life to the slave, but the emperor has the grace to the slave, and the slave of King Yu has repaid the kindness, and the emperor's grace, the slave can only follow the emperor to the ground to report." ”

Emperor Xuanwu's face seemed to contain thunder and fury, and he exerted great strength to overturn the table, "You have followed me for so many years, so many years! I've always treated you as a caring person, confidant! ”

As soon as his throat thrust up, a mouthful of blood spurted out, drowning the dragon's head on the placket of his clothes. His body leaned forward uncontrollably, his legs slowly bent and he fell down in a kneeling fashion.

The queen exclaimed uncontrollably, "Imperial Doctor-Imperial Doctor-Hurry, save the Emperor-"

Everyone poured out of the apse, and the originally lively hall was only a few people left.

"King Chen, the slave still has something to tell you, please come over for a while." Xu Shou clutched his stomach and twitched violently, he was almost dying, but he still supported it with his last breath of strength.

Jing Rong still couldn't slow down, he took heavy steps, step by step towards him.

Xu Shou held his hand tightly, his eyes were firm, he smiled with relief, and said: "The slave is just one sentence, right and wrong, success or failure turn empty, the green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times." Lord, there is only so much that a slave can do. ”

The hand that was holding Jingrong slowly lost its strength and slowly drooped. He was no longer in pain, no longer had a painful expression, a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he was out of breath.

He did what he was supposed to do, had no regrets, and died as he deserved.

Jing Rong looked at the tiger talisman in his hand, held it tightly in his palm, closed his eyes, and tears flowed out.

This was handed over to him by Xu Shou at the last moment, and he had to return what his father had left to him in the end.

The tiger talisman was stained with his blood and body temperature, while his body was losing little by little, slowly cold.

Muschev walked up to him and hugged his crooked back from behind. The warm body was like a furnace, warming his heart that stood in the cold sky. Jing Rong held her hand with his backhand and was silent.

Sometimes actions are more soothing than words, and in her arms, Jingrong's painful heart can have a trace of pain.

The poison that Xu Shou fed to Emperor Xuanwu was increased in dose, and there was no cure at all. Despite the doctor's best efforts, it was to no avail.

Outside the hall, the kneels were full of people, and the concubines and princesses led by the queen and the princess in the hall knelt at the head of the bed and cried.

Emperor Xuanwu moved his eyelids and slowly opened his eyes. At this moment, his eyes were no longer chaotic, no longer angry, but calm.

Listening to the cries of everyone kneeling beside him, he frowned and looked sideways.

His concubine pear blossom brought rain, and he couldn't even help himself, these flower-like faces were all favored by him, but in the future, he could never see them again. Or maybe they cried so sadly, not because they wept for him, but because they themselves were widowed at a young age.

His sons, his daughters, wept silently. At first, he listened to their first cry, and now, the cry that seemed to break dawn was no longer the powerful cry of a new life, but became, sad and sorrowful, and in turn, came to see him off on his last journey.

It seems that he is really going to die, and his more than ten years of imperial career has come to an end.

At this point, he couldn't help but think. What has he gained in the past ten years?

Throne? The throne was never his. When he died, someone else would do it.

Power? Yes, he has held the power of the world for more than ten years, supreme, looking down on the country, and holding the power of life and death in the world. But what about it? He can control the life and death of others, but he cannot control his own life and death.

Affection? What's more, in order to ascend to the throne, he killed his biological eldest brother; The last thing that his father couldn't let go of before his death was not him, but Jingrong; The queen mother refused to forgive herself when she was dying.

Love? He is even less qualified. In this life, he has had many women, liked many women, and he looked for happiness in one young body after another, and sought pleasure in one flower-like face after another. He always thought that he loved Jing Wanqi, but in the end he realized that he only loved himself. He has never really loved someone, just like his father is to his mother, his eldest brother is to his sister-in-law, and even Jingrong is to Mu Xuefu.

In this life, at the end of the day, there is nothing.
