Chapter 536: Death Is Near

The eldest prince said coldly: "I heard that my father's health has been getting worse and worse recently, and he vomited blood in the imperial study yesterday, but the news was concealed. It's good that my people found out this time, otherwise I wouldn't have known."

"He's probably vomited a lot of times in this case."...

Xiao Guifei smiled at him, "I glanced at him from a distance yesterday, and the whole person looked like he was going to die, his face was pale, and he had to be supported by the dog surnamed Gao when he walked."

"It seems that the medicine is working well, maybe our plan has to be advanced."

A confident and excited smile flashed at the corner of the eldest prince's mouth.

"This year, His Highness's New Year's gift will definitely be unprecedented."

Back in the courtyard, Shen Youqiu found that the room had already been filled with food that only Shengjing Building could only have, and there was a long sugar gourd on the side. The food box is still warm, and the person who wants to deliver it has just left.

She opened the food box, and the aroma suddenly filled her nose.

Braised elbow, Sixi meatballs, roast goose, and a home-cooked dish at the bottom, stewed chicken with dried bamboo shoots.

Her eyes lit up, and she couldn't wait to pick up her chopsticks and pick up a small piece of chicken and stuff it into her mouth.

Well, it's fragrant, smooth, tender, and more importantly, it's the taste of your mother.

This chicken must have been stewed by my mother!

It was getting dark, and Concubine Xiao waited for a long time at the door of the imperial study with a bowl of hot chicken soup.

"Your Majesty, let me see you."

She looked sad and worried, "The concubine hasn't seen the emperor for a long time, I miss the emperor very much, the north wind is very strong today, and the dead leaves on the trees are blown off a lot, just sitting in the conservatory, the concubine also feels extremely cold, the emperor, you always stay in the imperial study, it must be colder."

"The concubine boiled the chicken soup with her own hands, Your Majesty, you can taste a mouthful to warm your body."

There seemed to be a coughing sound coming from inside.

After a while, Gao Neishou walked out, and the expression on his face didn't seem to be very good-looking, but when he looked at Xiao Guifei, a smile still appeared on his face.

"Concubine Niangniang, the emperor let you in."

"Thank you, Grandpa Gao."

Xiao Guifei looked happy, went in with chicken soup with her own hands, and when she looked up, she noticed the emperor's blackened face, and a faint touch of red left at the corner of his mouth.

But by the light of the candle, the red seemed to be gone, like the bright red of the emperor's lips.

She lowered her head, knowing in her heart, and couldn't help but sneer proudly, but her face was full of concern.

"Your Majesty, the concubine heard that you have been correcting and correcting all these days and nights, and you don't sleep much, how can this work? Drink some soup, warm up, and go rest."

"Concubine Xiao remembers me, and I feel very comforted in my heart."

The emperor lowered his voice, and there was a sense of powerlessness in his voice, "But you also know that my body is not good, and sleeping is a waste of time, and I can't sleep at all."

As he spoke, he rubbed his temples with an irritable face, and in the irritability, he still felt a little flustered.

"I don't know how long I'll be able to sit here, so I'll make more corrections if I can."

"Your Majesty, how can you say that?"

Concubine Xiao Guifei immediately reddened her eyes and said sadly: "You are the emperor, you are the true dragon emperor, you will definitely sit here for a long time, you say this, it really hurts the hearts of the concubines, and also hurts the hearts of the people in the world, don't think nonsense, go back and rest early."

"Alright, shut up!"

The emperor suddenly lost his temper and even threw out the fold in his hand, which was thrown at Xiao Guifei's feet, startling Xiao Guifei.

After breaking the fold, the emperor seemed to suddenly realize what he had done, and suddenly his face showed guilt and embarrassment, so he had to wave his hand, and said helplessly: "I already know the concubine's intentions, this imperial study is cold, you go back quickly, don't stay here."

Gao Neishou also stepped forward and whispered in Xiao Guifei's ear, "Niangniang, go back first, the emperor is not in a good mood."

Hearing this, Xiao Gui

The concubine had to stand up reluctantly, stared at the emperor lovingly, and said a word of resignation, and then left with a worried face.

As soon as he left the door, there was another violent coughing sound from inside the house.

Xiao Guifei lowered her head, although she still had a worried expression, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, in the darkness, she thought that no one could see her expression, but she didn't know that Gao Neizhi's gaze never left her face.

When she walked away, the emperor in the imperial study breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and then sneered with a dark face.

"Looks like I'm here to make sure I'm going to die."

He was right, not long after Concubine Xiao Guifei left, the power of the eldest prince determined one thing, the emperor was not long in life, and within a month, he would definitely ascend to heaven.

For a time, there was an undercurrent inside and outside Miyagi.

At this time, inside the barracks outside the city.

Qi Jingxing was sitting in the camp tent watching the training of the soldiers, when suddenly a person rushed in and said in a panic: "General, a group of rogues has appeared a hundred miles away from the capital, and these rogues have burned and looted everywhere, and they have robbed more than ten villages, and they are well-equipped, even stronger than ordinary local guards, and they are about to come in the direction of our capital."

"Is the news confirmed?"

Qi Jingxing was stunned for a moment and asked seriously.

"Sure."

The little soldier hurriedly said, "There are two guards who escaped and rushed here overnight, we only know here, it has been a day since they escaped, I am afraid that those rogues have done a lot of evil things, I don't know how many people have suffered again, general, let's send troops to go quickly."

But Qi Jingxing didn't move, but asked with some confusion, "Why did a rogue suddenly appear? And it's still so well-equipped? Did the two people who escaped say where they were? Also, how many people are on the other side."

"They don't seem to know either."

The little soldier thought for a while, and said, "By the way, someone said that they might be the army of the enemy country, maybe they were accidentally exiled to the Great Song Dynasty, and the guard said that he saw one of them take out a flag, and that flag is very similar to the flag of the Han country, as for the people, there can be hundreds at most."

"What?"

Hearing this, Qi Jingxing's face finally changed slightly, and after hesitating for a moment, he immediately stood up and said loudly: "Come on, gather soldiers and horses, I need two thousand cavalry to go with me to exterminate the bandits!"

"Yes!"

The creep rushed out and began to count his troops.

Qi Jingxing stood at the door of the tent and waited, his face cold.

The state of Shen was destroyed a few months ago, and it was destroyed by another country, not by the Great Song Dynasty.

Then how could there be an army of the Han Kingdom in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty now? Is it a remnant force? Or is it a rabble under the guise of the kingdom?
