Luo Qingzhi was focused on Gao Yan's injury and did not find Gao Zhen around the corner.

"Arlo, if there really is an afterlife, I want to meet you again."

Luo Qingzhi nodded, "Okay."

Gao Yan laughed, clenched his hand again, and took a deep breath, "It's so good, I was with you at the last moment."

Luo Qingzhi was about to say comfort, and the crowd began to commotion.

A masked man shouted, "Dog Emperor, I'm going to kill you."

Luo Qingzhi subconsciously took the saber, and only remembered that she had given the saber to Gao Ji after touching the air.

She cursed and protected Gao Yan after her death.

The people who come are violent, and the private has a feeling of being prepared.

Luo Qingzhi didn't have a weapon in hand, so she could only pick up the wooden stick on the side.

After only a few efforts, he was cut off by his opponent.

Seeing this, Gao Zhen came out of the corner to help Luo Qingzhi retreat from the enemy.

"You, why are you here?"

Gao Zhen stared at the hands of the two of them, and said angrily, "Now is not the time to say."

For a time, the enemy came from all directions, and the three were besieged.

Gao Yan suddenly squatted down with a painful expression.

Luo Qingzhi asked anxiously, "What's wrong?" What's uncomfortable?"

Gao Yan clutched his chest, completely speechless.

Luo Qingzhi thought for a while and said, "Erlang, you take Your Majesty to break through, and I will open the way for you."

Gao Zhen refused, "I don't want it."

"Jiro." Luo Qingzhi lowered her voice, "Obedient."

Gao Zhen hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Luo Qingzhi parted her clasped hands and got up to take Gao Zhen's sword. Luo Qingzhi, who has recovered her strength, is not difficult to tear a hole in the encirclement.

Gao Zhen carried Gao Yan away.

Without worries, Luo Qingzhi was more relaxed, and only a cup of tea solved the people present.

Luo Qingzhi stepped forward to check the appearance of several people, and there was no one who knew each other.

She was a little puzzled, "They are not very skilled in kung fu, how could they let them assassinate the emperor?"

didn't have time to think about it, Luo Qingzhi chose to find the two who left.

Gao Zhen left marks along the way, and it was not difficult to find them.

Gao Yan faced Luo Qingzhi's direction and found Luo Qingzhi for the first time.

Luo Qingzhi waved her hand, "Your Majesty."

Before he could say the next sentence, Gao Yan fell down with blood at the corner of his mouth.

Luo Qingzhi hurriedly stepped forward, Gao Zhen held the dagger in his hand, and his face was stiff.

"Second brother." Luo Qingzhi called loudly.

Gao Zhen seemed to freeze, and when he heard Luo Qingzhi's name, he frowned, "Second brother?"

Luo Qingzhi stretched out her hand to press Gao Yan's wound, "You hold on, I'll take you back to the palace."

Gao Yan shook his head with a painful expression.

Yuan Ying learned the news and rushed with the forbidden army.

Luo Qingzhi looked at Gao Zhen and whispered, "You go first."

"I'm not leaving." Gao Zhen is firm.

"The current situation, you can't tell you clearly, go quickly." Luo Qingzhi said.

Gao Zhen asked, "You."

Luo Qingzhi said again, "Go to Luofu and stay, tomorrow night, I will come to you."

With Luo Qingzhi's promise, Gao Zhen escaped.

Yuan Ying sent someone to chase after him, but Luo Qingzhi stopped him, "Save Your Majesty."

Yuan Ying carried Gao Zhen on his back and rushed back to the palace as fast as he could.

When he returned to the Xianyang Palace, Gao Yan was speechless, and Luo Qingzhi looked at the imperial doctor, "Give Your Majesty a needle."

"Yes."

After the Taiyi performed the acupuncture, Gao Yan took a breath and spoke laboriously, "Ah, Ah Luo, all of this is handed over to you."

「......」

Luo Qingzhi was lying on the side of the bed, Gao Yan stretched out his hand, and Luo Qingzhi held it.

"All of them, all of them go out." Gao Yan spoke laboriously.

Concubine Xiao Shu had already begun to cry and refused to leave, Luo Qingzhi said, "Niangniang, go out."

Concubine Xiao Shu glanced at Luo Qingzhi fiercely, took Gao Ji's hand and left unwillingly.

When everyone went out, Gao Yan took out a holy decree from under the pillow.

"It's blank, Ah, Arlo, it's the last thing I've left for you."

Luo Qingzhi exhaled, "Second brother, I'm ......."

Gao Yan raised his hand, "Don't say it, don't say it."

Luo Qingzhi changed her posture and let Gao Yan lean on her body.

Gao Yan smiled, "Finally, it's finally over, Ah Luo, I, these twelve years, today and this moment, I am the happiest."

"Arlo, yes, I'm sorry, I, I'm ......."

Gao Yan didn't finish the last words, and slowly closed his eyes.

Luo Qingzhi tightened her hands and hugged him tightly in her arms.

In the twentieth month of the twelfth year of Sui Ning, Emperor Wu Gao Yan died.

After instructing Gao Yan about what happened after his death, the sky was already bright, and Luo Qingzhi came to the Queen Mother's palace alone. qs

It was Huang Shi who came to open the door, Luo Qingzhi's face recovered, and Huang Shi saluted.

"See His Royal Highness the County Lord."

Luo Qingzhi said, "Is Niang Niang awake?"

Huang Shi nodded.

Luo Qingzhi said: "The news here is blocked, I think you don't know yet, Your Majesty, you died last night."

Huang Shi's eyes widened, and Luo Qingzhi nodded solemnly, "Do you want to go and see you?"

「......」

Huang Shi shook his head, "No, Your Majesty's life is too bitter, and now he should be happy with such an ending."

"Bitter?" Luo Qingzhi paused, "In this world, no one is bitter."

Luo Qingzhi shook her head, forcing herself not to think about these things, looked at Huang Shi, and asked, "Can I meet Niangniang?"

"Wait a minute, I'll tell you something."

"Okay." Luo Qingzhi nodded.

The wind in the morning was still a little cool, and after blowing for a while, Luo Qingzhi shivered a little.

Huang Shi came out with his cloak, put it on his hands, and said, "Your Highness, come in with me."

Luo Qingzhi took the cloak and followed Huang Shi into the door.

The Queen Mother was dressed in plain clothes and no jewelry, kneeling on the ground, facing the direction of the window, as if praying.

"Ah Yan is gone, isn't he?"

Luo Qingzhi turned her head to look at Huang Shi, who nodded, "It was the slave who told me."

"Yes." Luo Qingzhi nodded, "I left last night."

"Is he in pain?" The Queen Mother continued to ask.

Luo Qingzhi thought for a moment and replied, "The needle applied by the imperial doctor should not be so painful."

「...... It's a poor boy."

Luo Qingzhi got closer, and saw that today's Niangniang was in good spirits, and she had regained her appearance, she asked, "Niangniang can recognize me when she looks at me."

The Queen Mother didn't turn her head, just remained silent.

Luo Qingzhi seemed to know the answer, and smiled self-deprecatingly, "You are the Queen Mother, you can only be the Queen Mother."

Huang Shi played the round, "Presumably, Your Highness still has a lot of things to do, so it's better to leave first."

"Yes." Luo Qingzhi nodded, "There are still many things to do."

Luo Qingzhi got up and walked slowly towards the temple gate, just crossed the threshold with her left foot, and asked, "Can I come to see you in the future?"

fell into silence for a while, Luo Qingzhi thought that she couldn't get an answer, and a gentle voice came from behind her, "Naturally, you can come if you want."

Luo Qingzhi smiled, "Okay, Niangniang, take care of your body, I'll see you another day."

"Okay."

Luo Qingzhi walked out of the palace, took a deep breath, and walked towards Concubine Shu's palace.
