Swish.

As if suddenly waking up from his deep sleep, the muttering of the woman beside Qin Ziying instantly emptied, and the discomfort rippling around him gradually dissipated.

Qin Ziying slowly raised his head from under the white robe, and the seat in front of him was still ten steps away from him. The woman in red was lying behind the gauze tent, looking at him with interest, her eyes full of provocative and ambiguous.

"Stop using illusions on me. Qin Ziying said coldly to the woman, and the killing intent gradually revealed.

The woman didn't answer, tilted her head sideways, changed to a more comfortable position, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

Qin Ziying glanced at her, turned around, and left the main hall.

Qi country.

Mountain resort.

To the west of the desert, a field of greenery surrounded by mountains suddenly appears in the desert, like a drop of paint that has accidentally dripped off. In such a desert on the border of the Western Regions, this rare touch of bright green is as dazzling as a pearl, standing out from the crowd.

In the middle of the green forest, there is a well-repaired majestic mountain villa, small bridges and flowing water, pavilions and pavilions, which make people mistakenly think that they seem to have stepped into the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, and the desert outside the forest seems to be two worlds, compared with it, it is as if they have stepped into the fairyland of the world. Here you don't feel the slightest scorching sun, the naked exposure, and the cool breeze through the woods, with a hint of fragrance, is refreshing.

The lodge is surrounded by trees in the center, and the terraces are made of rich mahogany, and the stairs and handrails are made of the finest wood. Walking barefoot on the smooth, cold mahogany floor, the heat of the desert was swept away. There is also a small pond in the villa, and the waterwheel squeaks and turns around the pond, and the sound of gurgling water is like a crisp and pleasant musical instrument, which expresses the tranquility and serenity of the whole villa.

This luxurious summer resort is where King Qi stays.

At this time, the king of Qi is lying in the most precious hall in the villa, the whole hall is full of gold and jade carvings, the majestic gold pillar is engraved with the famous calligraphy, the ancient sword calligraphy and painting is countless, each piece is picked out is a heavy treasure. But at this moment, King Qi had no intention of serving the treasure of the hall, he had been lying on the bed for several days, his weak body could not get out of bed, and he was hanging in one breath, only in and out.

The hall was full of people, and more than a dozen Langzhong imperial doctors were waiting by the bedside, their heads bowed, and they didn't dare to make a sound. Behind the imperial physicians were the guards of the King of Qi and a few favored eunuchs, and a group of concubines in their prime surrounded them on the outside, all of whom covered their faces with their hands, and couldn't bear to look at the King of Qi when they saw the current situation.

King Qi was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, his cheeks were already emaciated, his eye sockets were sunken, and only a faint snort rose and fell with his chest.

One of the guards looked a little nervous, he took a step forward gently, and whispered next to an imperial doctor and asked, "How is ......it?"

The Imperial Physician turned around slowly, shaking his head slightly.

Seeing his response, the guard didn't dare to say anything more, swallowed his saliva, and retreated with interest.

King Qi, who was about to be unconscious, opened his mouth slightly, tried his best to make a tearing sound from his throat, and said, "You guys...... All step back ......"

When the imperial doctor heard King Qi speak, he hurriedly fell to the ground at the head of the bed and said, "Your Majesty ......"

King Qi used the remaining strength of his body to spit out the words, "Someone is coming...... Call Yuan Wei over...... Ghostwriting ......"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions froze, and then their eyes invariably looked at a man in the crowd.

Yuan Wei was wearing a snow armor and silver helmet, with a slender sword pinned to his waist, and his face was a little pale. Hearing King Qi's faint command, he hurriedly stepped forward to meet everyone's gaze, came to King Qi's bedside and knelt down.

The guards on the side hurriedly came to King Qi's bedside, quickly took out a bunch of keys in front of a brown wooden cabinet, opened the lock of the cabinet door, solemnly took out a boxy and exquisite box from inside, and respectfully handed it to Yuan Wei.

Yuan Wei's expression was a little dazed, he took the box and slowly opened it, inside was a holy decree that was carefully folded.

His hands trembled a little, and the crowd behind him was a little commotion, and no one dared to make a sound, watching silently.

He took out the holy decree, and the guards didn't know where to take out the pen and ink and handed it to Yuan Wei's hands.

When all this was ready, Yuan Wei knelt beside King Qi's bed, and said in a trembling voice with some crying, "Your Majesty...... Humble Hearing ......"

King Qi lay weakly on the bed, as if in a dream, and said, "The edict ......"

As soon as the words fell, everyone in the hall knelt down to King Qi in unison, and no one withdrew from the hall.

King Qi swallowed his saliva hard, brace himself to prop up his eyelids, and looked up through a slit in his eyes, his lifeless pupils.

"I am a great Qi, majestic Quartet, merit in the thousands, benefit in all generations......" King Qi muttered, "I am not good, when Chu committed, the land was invaded, the corpses of the people were everywhere, and tens of thousands of ...... died"

Yuan Wei raised his head and looked at King Qi, the hand holding the pen did not dare to fall.

"I originally wanted to leave a peaceful country for the people of Daqi, but I wasted decades, and it seems that I have not accomplish......ed anything in my life," said King Qi in a hoarse voice as much as he could.

Yuan Wei's eyes were filled with tears, and he choked up and whispered, "No, your ...... It's a generation of Mingjun ......"

King Qi exhaled slowly, and continued: "My own brother is only a generation of Ming Jun, I am just stepping on his shoulder...... I originally thought that with power, I could also have a hegemony above the court, but I didn't expect that it would add to the chaos......"

King Qi said, his blood and qi surged, and he coughed a few times heavily.

"I ...... Adopted the two children of the royal brother...... Appointing the boss as the crown prince can be regarded as appeasing his spirit in the sky, so that I can feel at ease...... Back then, he was for me...... For the sake of the country...... At the expense of the throne, even his own life, he adhered to Chang'an alone...... If it weren't for him, Great Qi wouldn't be where it is today......" King Qi's voice became even weaker, and he said intermittently, "The second son of the imperial brother is also a hero, and his merits are no less than yours Yuan Wei...... It's a pity that there is a lot of fighting in this cabinet, and it has become a pot of porridge, and I also see it in my eyes and am anxious in my heart...... I'm afraid I'll let down the royal brother......"

After saying that, King Qi turned his head around with all his might, looked at everyone, and said, "Ai Concubine...... Bring Ah Li here......"

In the kneeling crowd, a woman who was about a year old hurriedly stood up, hurriedly saluted the king of Qi, and turned to leave. After a while, a little boy whose head was no longer than the waist of an adult came timidly into the main hall, and when he saw the crowd kneeling on the ground, he was so frightened that he was at a loss.

The woman quietly pushed him behind and said softly, "Your father told you, go quickly." ”

The little boy lowered his head in a daze, walked quickly to the head of King Qi's bed, looked at him a little stunned, and said, "Father, the emperor ......"

King Qi looked at him, squeezed out a loving smile, and said, "Ah Li...... I didn't want to show him to others, because he was too young to step into the land of dragon and tiger struggle in the court...... Secondly...... I promised the royal brother...... The future royal family of Daqi will always be the blood of the imperial brother...... But...... Now in this court, I'm afraid it's not as good as before...... Partisanship...... I really can't do anything with this body...... The cabinet ministers have always been dissatisfied with the crown prince, and I am worried that the cabinet will be chaotic when the crown prince succeeds to the throne...... Therefore...... I intend to let Ah Li inherit my throne......"

Young Ah Li looked at King Qi in front of him, he didn't realize what was happening at all. The atmosphere in the hall was deadly silent, and no one dared to squeak.

"After Ah left the throne, let the cabinet students assist him and treat him like me...... The two sons of the imperial brother are both marquis, and they continue to be loyal to the imperial court......" King Qi's voice softened a lot, he looked at Yuan Wei under the bed, and said, "Ah Wei, this child, he is still young...... I'll leave it to you......"

Yuan Wei listened, and said to the ground: "Please rest assured, the emperor will definitely live up to his mission!"

"Ah Li, Ah ......" King Qi narrowed his eyes, his expression did not hide his old color, and said, "After I gave birth to you with my concubine...... I've never taken you to Chang'an...... I've been hiding you here from the war...... The war is over, and I succeed to the throne...... I didn't give you and your concubine a name...... I've always been ashamed of you two......"

Ah Li's eyes widened in ignorance, and he looked at the frail old man lying on the bed in a daze, spitting out words to him one sentence after another.

"You're still young...... I don't know how to govern the country...... Yuan Ju is the third generation of old ministers, he not only has the skill of governing the country, but also teaches his children well, and cultivates a proud son of the country for me......" King Qi said, looking at Yuan Wei who was kneeling under the bed with loving eyes.

Yuan Wei hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to make a sound.

Although he has taken a back seat, he is also the former prime minister...... He is also the master of your two royal brothers...... He will be able to assist you...... Ahem, cough ......" King Qi said, and he couldn't help coughing, and blood foam flew out of his mouth.

The guards on the side hurriedly stepped forward, King Qi glanced at him, and the guards didn't dare to move anymore, bowing their heads and retreating.

"That's it...... I'm running out of time...... Next...... The great cause of the Qi State...... I'll leave it to you young people...... Remember...... At all times...... Don't give up...... The people of Daqi ......"

King Qi said this, coughing incessantly, and the blood spurting out of his mouth stained the sheets under his pillow red.

Ah Li didn't know what was going on, panicked for a while, and shouted anxiously: "Dad...... What's wrong with you, Dad...... Daddy......"

The guards on the side couldn't bear it any longer, hurriedly got up, knelt at the end of King Qi's bed, and whispered, "Your Majesty...... The Emperor ......"

Yuan Wei's heart trembled a little, and before the holy decree in his hand had been added, his mind was blank. He couldn't help but raise his head in fear, watching King Qi's chest rise and fall violently, and his wheezing sound was higher and higher.

"Brother Huang...... I've come to see you......" King Qi spat out a word hysterically, his face twisted in pain, his eyes closed.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" a row of imperial physicians stood up in a panic, crossed Yuan Wei, and gathered around King Qi's bedside.

Everyone's eyes were nervously looking there. After a while, the gasping gradually subsided, and the movement subsided.

In the main hall, there was a dead silence again, but the heartbeat of everyone could still be faintly heard.

After another half an hour, a royal physician closest to King Qi looked at his motionless body, trembled and stretched out two fingers, and put them under his nose.

In an instant, the imperial doctor's face was as dead as ashes, and he retracted his hand as if he had been electrocuted.

"Your Majesty...... Died ......"
