Hongguang thirty-one years.

Emperor Chu Ling collapsed.

He was 59 years old.

On that day, the world was sad, the palace was crying endlessly, and the white flags were displayed.

The imperial city in the wind and snow has completely turned into a plain white, and there is no other color.

This winter, it seems that because of the death of the emperor, it has become a little more cold.

"Life and death are fate, even if it is a high emperor, it is impossible to escape death after all......"

Su Chen shook his head secretly.

He hadn't seen the emperor since he entered the palace, and he didn't know what he was like, so the emperor's death didn't have much of a feeling for him.

There is even a faint sense of pride in my heart.

Look, what about the emperor, Shou Yuan is going to die when he arrives, what grand plan for hegemony, glory and wealth, it will be empty in a blink of an eye.

I, on the other hand, stand outside of time.

As long as you don't die, you will never have to worry about dying of old age.

The world, for me, will always be the future.

But.

The emperor died, and the next thing was a change of power.

In the past few days, I am afraid that the palace will not be peaceful.

……

"Father-in-law, the Department of Internal Affairs just sent a mourning dress......

Su Chen came to the room where Grandpa Li lived and knocked lightly on the door.

But there was no response.

I couldn't help frowning slightly.

On such a cold day, the old man is not lying in the room, where can he run?

Won't it ......

That's what I was thinking.

Suddenly, a shrill birdsong sounded.

Su Chen looked up, and just saw that on the snow-covered roof, Hai Dongqing, a divine horse, was shaking his wings, and a pair of yellow-like eyes were staring straight at him.

"You're here again?"

Su Chen smiled.

I don't know why, every time he sees this Hai Dongqing, he will be in a happy mood.

Perhaps, it is envy that it can fly freely in the sky.

One day, I will be able to break free from the shackles and fly freely in this world.

"The sunflower seeds in the warehouse are almost eaten by you, save some, and wait for the next spring, I will grow more ...... in this yard."

Su Chen said, grabbed two handfuls of sunflower seeds from the warehouse and sprinkled them on the snow.

Hai Dongqing immediately flapped his wings and flew down, pecking happily, leaving clearly visible paw prints on the snow.

At this time.

Su Chen heard a noise coming from the library building.

The door slowly opened.

The cold wind mixed with snowflakes poured in, and among the dances, a graceful figure walked out.

It was Her Royal Highness the eldest princess who lived on the second floor.

Today, she dresses completely differently from the past.

Wearing a phoenix crown, wearing a xia pei, hanging gold and jade, pearlescent reflection, a pair of costumed makeup, in this plain white ice and snow, it looks extremely eye-catching, she behaves gracefully, stepping out of the threshold that has not been stepped out for more than ten years, phoenix eyes are slightly raised, sweeping the imperial city, the body seems to add a bit of nobility and majesty, people dare not look directly.

Behind her, Gonggong Li walked out of the library building, but stopped at the steps.

"Did you really decide not to leave?"

The eldest princess asked.

When Gonggong Li heard this, he smiled and said softly: "The old slave is now sick and disabled, and his time is short, I'm afraid I won't be able to help His Highness anything." If it weren't right here, it would be a good end for this remnant life......"

Hearing this, a faint sadness flashed in the eldest princess's eyes.

But soon, it was covered up.

She nodded, acquiescing to Grandpa Li's request.

Then he turned around, saw Su Chen and Hai Dongqing in the snow, and said, "Your name is Su Chen, right?" There are not many people in Da Chu who are willing to read books now, and there is just a lack of a companion to read around this palace, are you willing to go with me? ”

In the past three years, the eldest princess has watched Su Chen's every move.

Knowing that this person is diligent in learning, and intelligent and steady, he is a calm person, and he is close to him in Shanghai Dongqing, and he can't help but appreciate it.

Today, when she walked out of Kwai Yuan, she was a hidden dragon out of the abyss, so she had the heart to help.

Su Chen looked at her posture and probably guessed a few points.

The emperor died, and now it is the time for the change of imperial power, and the eldest princess is rumored to have strategic ambitions, and she never retreats because she is a woman, and she was also convicted of it.

These days, Hai Dongqing has been flying in frequently to deliver messages.

Now that she is going to walk out of Kwai Yuan, I am afraid that she has already made all preparations.

Follow her, and you will have a chance to rise to the top.

If it is an ordinary person, he should agree to come down at this time, after all, following the eldest princess out, no matter how much it is more promising than staying in this cold place where no one cares.

But Su Chen didn't have this idea at all.

He raised his head slightly, first glanced at Gonggong Li, who just bowed and smiled, but did not say anything.

Su Chen hesitated to word, after all, it was also a risk to refuse the kindness of the eldest princess.

But compared to the risk of fighting for imperial power, he quickly made up his mind.

"Thanks to His Royal Highness's wrong love, the villain is only a small body, and his knowledge is shallow, I am afraid that he will not be able to afford His Highness's Longen. Besides, Father-in-law Li treats me well, he is in poor health, how can I abandon him and leave? May I serve my father-in-law for the rest of my life......"

Hearing this, a warm color flashed in Li Gongping's quiet eyes.

The eldest princess was silent for a moment.

Originally, with her identity, it was already a grace of heaven to open her mouth to promote a powerless little eunuch, and she would definitely be displeased if the other party refused.

But the other party is willing to give up glory and wealth to serve Gonggong Li, an old eunuch who has been in the twilight of the West Mountain, but he is also a person who values love and righteousness.

So the anger in my heart subsided a little.

He just nodded faintly and said no more.

"Finally fooled ......"

Su Chen breathed two sighs of relief in his heart.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves outside the garden.

Immediately after, the door was pushed open.

I saw that in the wind and snow, a Praetorian Guard general rode his horse, and behind him, there were dense Janissary soldiers, all of whom were brightly dressed and armored, with a solemn face.

This is the deep palace Ouchi!

Being able to gallop on horseback and mobilize so many Praetorian Guards, it seems that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has been preparing for this day for a long time.

"Your Majesty has died, the country has no owner, please go to the Qiankun Palace and preside over the overall situation!"

As the Praetorian Guard general turned over and dismounted, thousands of soldiers knelt down in unison.

The sound of the mountain shook the heavens and the earth.

The eldest princess nodded, said nothing, got up straight and went out, and got into the chariot that came with her.

When he lowered the bead curtain, he said, "Leave two people behind to guard this place, and no one is allowed to trespass." ”

"Yes!"

The general of the Praetorian Guard agreed, and then left two Praetorian guards to guard the door, and then followed the chariot and headed towards the center of the imperial city.

"It seems that tonight, this imperial city is going to change."

Su Chen sighed in his heart.

But fortunately, the eldest princess left the guards to guard it, and under normal circumstances, it would not affect this remote place.

immediately stepped forward and hugged Gonggong Li, intending to send him back to the room.

The old eunuch shook his head.

He said, "You've been here for three years, and you haven't been to the second floor, have you?" Come up with me and have a look, the view upstairs is actually good......"

When is it, the old man still wants to see the scenery?

Su Chen was a little puzzled, but he didn't say anything, and helped the old man up the stairs.

Compared to the first floor, the second floor is significantly smaller.

There are no dense bookshelves here, it looks like an ordinary attic study, and there are still some things of the eldest princess in it.

Of course, Su Chen didn't dare to touch it, followed Gonggong Li, and soon came to the end of the corridor.

There is a terrace here.

From here, you can see the entire imperial city.

There was a gazebo for resting on the side of the terrace, and Su Chen helped him sit down next to him.

The cold wind blew, and Gonggong Li was still wearing the light gray robe, but he did not feel the slightest discomfort, his complexion was ruddy, and even the number of coughs was much less.

He picked up the flask next to him and took a sip, his face flushing.

The first sentence made Su Chen stunned.

"Little dust, our family is dying......"
