Chapter 163: The Death Knell

(Girls' Literature) The thunder and lightning are like a sharp sword out of the sheath, which makes people feel cold, and the tearing sound also makes people unable to sleep peacefully.

The torrential rain crashed against the glazed roof, a ticking sound sounded, and the cold breath invaded every corner of the room.

Although it was the middle of the night, the emperor's bedroom was still brightly lit at this moment, and the palace maid who stayed overnight to take care of the emperor couldn't help but be tired and lowered her head and fell into a deep sleep.

The door clicked and was pushed open, and the pale green corners appeared, and the silver pattern shone coldly in the light.

A man in a green robe walked in, although it was raining heavily outside, but on his body, even the flying hair, was not dyed with a little moisture, thin eyebrows like willow leaves, narrow eyes, and pupils like turquoise emeralds embedded in them, moist and noble. Test text watermark 7.

Handsome appearance, delicate lines, but will not make people mistake it for a woman, elegant temperament, such as a knowledgeable and talented gentleman. It's just that in the emerald eyes, there is a bitter coldness and indifference.

The dormitory was so quiet that you could hear the wind blowing the curtains.

As he approached, the curtain seemed to come to life, lifting of its own accord. Test Text Watermark 6.

At the end of the layers of curtains is a bright yellow dragon bed.

The man stood still in front of the dragon bed, and the silk curtain on the bed was lifted, revealing the person on the bed.

White beard, old face, more than ten years ago was still domineering, vigorous, and dominated thousands of life and death emperors, but now he is just a twilight old man, more than ten years, let him quickly enter old age, the oil is dry, and now, only more than fifty, but like seventy or eighty old men.

What is owed must be repaid, whether it is sin or fate, and the cycle of cause and effect. Test Text Watermark 4.

Perhaps sensing something, the old emperor in his sleep finally slowly opened his tired eyes, the sharpness in his eyes had been worn away a lot by the pain, and he was as cloudy as an ordinary old man, not as strong as domineering, nor as cold as ice.

The man seemed to wait for himself to notice him, and stood on the side, not moving or making a sound.

The old man finally turned his head sideways and looked at the green-robed man not far from the bed, his hazy vision seemed to be suddenly much clearer when he saw the man's appearance, but his pupils shrank instantly, and then calm. Test Text Watermark 5.

"You're finally here. The old man's old and feeble voice sounded slowly, as if it was a burden to say one more word.

The man didn't speak, just looked at the old man indifferently, as if he was just looking at a stone statue.

The old man closed his eyes gently, and his deep voice sounded again, "Fifteen years, it's been fifteen years, time ...... It's going by so fast. ”

"For you, it's really fast. Test Text Watermark 3. The man finally spoke, and his soft voice gave the illusion of tenderness and care, and even if he said something unpleasant, it was as intimate as sweet words.

The old man's body stiffened, then he opened his eyes again, and looked sideways at the man's expressionless face, as if looking at someone through him, "You are very similar to her." ”

Hearing the old man's words, the man's eyes that did not float were more or less floating, with a colder coldness, "It's just a face." The man said lightly, gracefully stepping slowly, slowly approaching the dragon bed. In the eyes of the old man, it is like a god of death who wants to harvest souls. Test Text Watermark 4.

The old man understood his underlying words, and closed his eyes in despair, "Take my old life, you can take it, this is what I owe your mother, but Shao'er is innocent, I hope you can let him go, and let go of the Rising Sun Country." ”

"Rest assured, they will all live well, take your place, you should be happy, they have inherited your ambition and selfishness. The man said lightly, flipped over his hand, and suddenly there was a yellow edict.

The old man's eyes widened, looking at the edict of succession in the man's gentle and elegant smile, the original words had changed, and the handwriting was still his, but those words were no longer his original intention. Test Text Watermark 2.

"There is a competition, only to know who is more suitable for the throne, isn't it, don't worry, I will help you watch, who will be the winner. ”

"No, you can't do this, they are also your brothers, this country also has your mother's hard work, do you want to destroy it. ”

"I'm just taking her place and taking it back. The man smiled faintly, his smile was gentle and harmless, soft as the wind, but with the bitter cold of winter, and slowly turned around. Test text watermark 8.

The old man's eyes widened, and his voice hoarsely wanted to call, but suddenly he couldn't make any sound, just red eyes, like a dying man, his whole body seemed to be bound by thousands of vines.

Thunder and lightning ruthlessly crossed the night sky, blue light flashed, the emperor's body on the bed finally stiffened, his eyes widened, but there was no focus, that expression, revealing a thick unwillingness and despair.

Above his corpse, some green vines slowly appeared.

The vines moved automatically, and a small dot of light emerged from the corpse, floating. Test Text Watermark 3.

The vines leaped up, wrapping around small dots of light.

The man caught the point of light, his gaze still not fluctuating, as if the dead person had nothing to do with him.

With the point of light, he turned around and walked to the main hall, and with a flick of his hand, the point of light entered the dragon chair.

The man smiled lightly, "Since you are so unwilling, let's take a good look here, and watch how your sons approach you step by step." ”

The soul that was thrown into the chair, belonging to the old emperor, struggled angrily and desperately, but in the end it was still deeply locked in the chair, and it could never be liberated. Test Text Watermark 5.

The man turned around without a hint of nostalgia, and the green figure disappeared into the night.

But soon it appeared in another place, like two spaces, the world of birds and flowers, empty and beautiful, the most conspicuous thing is that in the middle is a big willow tree surrounded by three people, the willow branches and leaves are dense, in this autumn, it is obviously very abnormal.

The man's green hair, like willow leaves, fluttered gently, and his emerald eyes were filled with a little sadness.

He slowly walked under the willow tree, and gently stroked the willow tree with his hand, and the willow flickered, consciously resting on his shoulder, as if touching.

The man smiled softly, stroked the wicker gently, and said indifferently, "You feel it too, don't worry, I won't ruin your hard work, on the contrary, I will fulfill your wish and protect this country." ”

Early in the morning, the bells spread throughout the palace, even outside the palace.

This is the death knell unique to the royal family, and this sound clearly tells people that the old emperor of the Rising Sun Kingdom has died.

On this day, the atmosphere in the court changed abruptly, and the solemn and tense atmosphere overshadowed the sadness of the old emperor's death.

The vassal kings of all walks of life are ready to move, the emperor's bones are not cold, and the battle has officially begun.

"Your Royal Highness, all the princes have arrived in Beijing and have asked to enter the palace to offer condolences. In the East Palace, the young guards reported solemnly, and several advisors had serious faces and worried faces.

"Your Royal Highness, the emperor is walking a little strangely, I'm afraid that someone has secretly moved his hands and feet. ”

"Your Highness, now the vassal kings of all walks of life are stationing troops outside the city under the pretext of condolences, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to delay for a long time. ”

"Your Highness......"
