XXXV. Emperor Yuan died
I watched Concubine Chen stab through Di Yuan's body one after another, but I couldn't do anything, my mouth opened and closed, and I was stunned by the scene in front of me, and finally broke out, "Father!" β
Reminded by my exclamation, Bo Heng and Daddy both rushed towards Di Yuan.
Daddy dragged Concubine Chen down and knocked her knife off, and Concubine Chen screamed in pain. But he still struggled. As a last resort, Daddy countered her arms and clamped her like crazy.
Concubine Chen's beautiful face twisted and shouted, "Die, die!" You tyrant, I curse you for life and life, forever and ever, and you will not die well! β
Concubine Chen's horrific smile pierced into my ears, and I looked at her in horror as she was covered in blood. It's all so unreal, I think it's just a nightmare of mine.
We didn't have time to take care of Uncle You in the audience, and there was a triumphant smile on our faces. He muttered, "I've waited too long for this day." β
I covered Di Yuan's wound with my hand, but there were too many, and such an act could only be a drop in the bucket. I tore off my robe to stop the blood that was bubbling out. Di Yuan gradually lost consciousness, and blood spilled from the corners of his mouth.
I heard Bo Heng shouting out the Imperial Doctor in a heart-rending manner, and everyone was in a mess.
Concubine Chen was still smiling like crazy, and Shu You was also cursing like a chicken blood. I was so distraught that I asked the soldiers to drag them down first.
Outside the hall, the palace people came out with basins of blood and water, and Di Yuan, who was lying on the couch, was pale and full of bandages. Bo Heng was anxiously pacing back and forth outside, and the four ladies all came to cry.
I sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Di Yuan, who closed his eyes tightly, and the imperial doctor who shook his head and sighed, and the despair in my heart reached its peak.
Bo Heng was still begging the imperial doctor to do his best, and Mrs. De also brought Long Rui's Life Renewal Pill to Di Yuan to breathe a sigh of relief. But the imperial doctor still told us that Di Yuan's heart was broken and he couldn't last long.
Mrs. De kept watch all night, her eyes red. I asked her to go back first, here I am.
Daddy and Bo Heng's armor didn't have time to change, so I asked them to change their clothes first, this kind of dress is not suitable in the palace.
It was so hard that everyone looked forward to it for three days. Di Yuan's face became more and more ugly day by day, glowing blue and gray, and he was always gasping for breath at night, like a machine that had fallen into disrepair but was still struggling.
Several ladies took turns to serve, but on the fourth day, they could not even feed the soup. After the imperial doctor administered the needle, he hesitated and said that it was only one or two days, and he should prepare. The four ladies wept again, and Mrs. Hyun fainted.
I watched the chaos in the hall, and my sadness turned into calm. It's not that I'm not sad, but I haven't reacted from Concubine Chen's actions that day, whether I close my eyes or open my eyes in the past few days, I have seen Concubine Chen's hideous appearance.
I couldn't understand why she was like this, and questions filled my mind.
On the fourth day and night, the ministers knelt outside the hall, and several ladies were tired and collapsed in the side hall. Bo Heng weakly supported his forehead, and sat on the circle chair with Ji Lin Zhongjin closed his eyes to recuperate.
I silently wiped Di Yuan's forehead and arms, hoping that he could feel more refreshed.
Di Yuan's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he opened his eyes. I thought it was my delusion, and it wasn't until he called me Xiao Qi that I exclaimed that His Majesty was awake.
The crowd rushed in and pushed me aside. Bo Heng put his arm around me and watched everyone's earnest concern for Di Yuan.
Di Yuan seemed to be very impatient and waved his hand, telling them all to retreat. The imperial doctor also said that His Majesty had just woken up, and it was not appropriate to make noise. A few ladies left with tears in their eyes, and Bo Heng and I were about to turn around, when Di Yuan stopped me.
"Xiao Qi stays, and I have something to say to you."
Bo Heng and I looked at each other and signaled him not to worry. I sat back on the edge of Di Yuan's bed and looked at Di Yuan, whose face was ruddy.
"Help the orphan to get up and walk, it's uncomfortable." Di Yuan said angrily.
I hesitated and didn't dare to stretch out my hand, "But the imperial doctor said that my father can't move yet, and it's not good for the wound." β
Di Yuan shook his head, "Lone's own body, Lone still knows." β
I also knew that Di Yuan had a stubborn temperament, so I carefully helped him to get up, and he also moved slowly with a wooden cane.
Coming to a sweet white glazed bottle, Di Yuan turned the bottle, and with a click, a dark grid suddenly appeared behind it. Di Yuan took out a bright yellow silk book from the dark compartment and turned around to hand it to me.
I was a little confused, "Father, this is?" β
Di Yuan coughed twice, "This is an edict made by Gu a year ago, in order to prevent accidents. But the only one who knows, Li Zhan, is dead, and now he is entrusted to you. You will hand it over to Prime Minister Huang Song later, and he will understand. β
I threw myself down and took it with my hands on top of my head. The silk book was as heavy as my heart, and Di Yuan nodded with satisfaction.
Then he slowly moved to the chair and sat down, Di Yuan gasped, it seemed that this was only ten steps, and it took all his strength.
"In this life, there are ups and downs and success for outsiders. But only Lone knows that standing in such a position, the loneliness of the high place is unbearable. β
I frowned slightly, and looked at Di Yuan worriedly.
But Lone did not regret the uprising, because only in this way could the people live a good life. Xiao Qi, you have to be good with Bo Heng in the future, don't complain about your father's original decision. β
I shook my head again and again, "Erchen doesn't complain, now I have experienced the love of husband and wife with Bo Heng, and Erchen is grateful for my father's decision." β
"Uncle You, this kid... All this may be the fault of Lonely, in fact, Lone and the four of their brothers all said that they would make them princes. β
I looked at Di Yuan in shock, not knowing what the point of him was doing this.
"Xiao Qi, have you ever heard that in Mrs. Liang's hometown Baiyue, there are rumors of raising Gu. According to rumors, all the poisonous insects should be placed in the same urn and let them fight, and after 7749 days, the urn will be opened, and the most powerful Gu worm will be obtained. β
I nodded, remembering what I had seen and heard in Yu Yao's wooden house. "There's such a rumor."
Di Yuan smiled meaningfully, "At that time, Lone was thinking, if the Gu worms that were killed last in each urn were placed in one urn, would he get an extremely powerful Gu worm." β
I was horrified, and my voice trembled slightly. "So, are you letting them fight for their heads, just to raise the last Gu worm, no, are you the last candidate for the crown prince?"
A weird smile appeared at the corner of Di Yuan's mouth, "Yes and no." In this world, only the most powerful emperor can control it. It must not be a nameless rat who cowers! Yanqi's thousand-year-old cause, Lone must ensure that the country can be Yongchang. β
"It's not to blame Linlang for being lonely... Nowadays, a lot of right and wrong doesn't make much sense, but Lone doesn't know why she did it. I hope that you and Boheng can understand the responsibility of being in a high position in the future. YanqiΒ·Β·Β· It's up to you. β
I was a little confused, but I still made it clear.
Di Yuan let out a long breath, and the blood on his face slowly faded. "But Gu still can't forgive myself for letting your mother die a tragic death, the woman I loved so much since I was nameless, maybe everything is just punishment."
I lowered my head, not knowing how to answer Di Yuan's words. "Help Gu go and lie down on the couch for a while, I'm tired."
I helped Di Yuan lie down slowly, his pupils began to dilate, and his eyes were dilated. My hands trembled slightly and I grasped his hand, but I could feel his life slowly passing away.
Di Yuan's mouth opened, and with a few ahhh "Tatyana Β· Yanna, here it is, here it is. β
The voice slowly faded into a moan of relief. Di Yuan slowly closed his eyes, and his hand slid down.
Tears rolled down my eyes, and I called out softly to my father, but no one answered. I lowered my head helplessly, my throat choked with a whimper.
I clutched the edict and pushed open the door of the temple. Outside the door, kneeling the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty and the weeping concubines, all looked at me suspiciously.
Bo Heng asked me with concern if I was okay, my father.
I stared blankly at the glimmer of light in the sky, it was so good, it was another new day. Then he shouted to the sky:
"Emperor Kang Yuan, died!" ββ
My mournful voice echoed through the palace, and I felt a smell of blood in my throat as I screamed with all my might.
The ministers cried out, and the mountains and rivers mourned. The death knell rings and hits everyone's heart. I handed the edict to Huang Song, the prime minister of the dynasty, and he looked at me inexplicably.
"This is the edict that His Majesty handed over to me before the funeral, and I handed it over to you. You are the person most respected by Your Majesty during his lifetime, and you can refute the truth for yourself, I have not seen it. I said with a sad face.
Huang Song wiped the tears on his face, quickly unfolded the edict and looked at it carefully. I silently walked back to Bo Heng's side, and Bo Heng took my hand worriedly and wiped my tears from me.
Huang Song's face changed and changed, as if he had seen something amazing. About half an hour later, I muttered to a few old ministers for a while. Huang Song stood up and walked in front of everyone.
"Xuan, Emperor Daxing's edictβ!" Huang Song's voice was full of anger, and we all knelt down and listened respectfully.
[Zhou Boheng, the second son of the emperor, is a Japanese and talented man. Providence belongs, hereby abide by the first edict, carry the ceremony, bow to public opinion, and hereby tell heaven and earth, the temple, the community, to grant the treasure, as the crown prince, is the east palace, with the unity of ten thousand years, with the heart of the four seas. γ
[The daughter of Sun Shi, the princess of Lingyang, and Sun Qingshan, the general of Zhenguo, is also the virtue of Ci Si and Ju Zi Qia Junping, and respects Zhang Hui Zhai and the body of Shu Shen, and is known for his dreams. γ
My head was buzzing, and I didn't know how I could have taken out the edict of canonization with my own hands, and I looked at the cold ground at a loss.
Huang Song cleared his throat and didn't seem to finish speaking.
[Zhenguo General Sun Qingshan, from the Dragon Mansion, was born and died with Gu for decades. However, Yanqi is undecided, and the country is not solid. Sun Qingshan was specially appointed as the Duke of Zhuguo, assisted the new emperor, and gave a soul wand. Beat the unconscious king on the top, and kill the ministers on the bottom. γ
Everyone called the crown prince and princess a thousand years old, and I watched Bo Heng take the order in a daze, as if he had opened a new stage of life.
Di Yuan is funeral was held in a hurry, and a few wives and ministers were in a hurry, and I was relieved. The blows for days made me a little dizzy, but I still managed to stay awake.
"Princess... Crown Princess, where are we going now? "Zhihong has not yet recovered from the joy of becoming the crown princess, and she is a little worried when she looks at my fiery posture.
There are some questions that I have to ask myself. Rather than being confused, I'd rather break the casserole and ask to the end.
I continued to walk without looking back, "Go to the edict and see Concubine Chen." β
