In the room, Xiao Yi, the chief supervisor of the inner city, stood respectfully in front of the door, quietly. Gu Qingci peeled oranges for Emperor Xia, and then fed them to Emperor Xia. Although Emperor Xia is still able to speak and barely move, his life is almost gone, and he relies entirely on some precious medicine to prolong his life.

Gu Qingci also felt a lot of emotion. When he left Chang'an, Emperor Xia was so energetic, but now he is dying. He also knows that Emperor Xia is not old and his martial arts are not good. If nothing unexpected happens, it is okay to continue to be emperor for more than ten or twenty years.

Emperor Xia looked at Gu Qingci, smiled slightly, and said, "Why, I am your uncle at least. You are not happy to ask you to peel a few oranges, you have no filial piety at all."

Looking at Emperor Xia who was still having fun and joking, Gu Qingci smiled and said, "You can't say anything, I'm really unhappy. It would be great if you let me know that you are my uncle earlier. It would be great if I rely on your power to be a second-generation ancestor in Chang'an. If you want to get the wind and rain, you need to go in the wind and rain every day."

Emperor Xia gave Gu Qingci a blank look and said, "You really can't blame me for this matter. If you want to blame me, I will blame you. I had to block the news about you and your mother so hard. I was really powerless and I have been blamed by your aunt for many years. You don't know that your father entered the palace and your aunt knew your identity, but for a long time, I was still the king of a country. I was forced to sleep in the study every day. Do I want to save face if it was spread?"

"Didn't this be done by yourself?" Gu Qingci said: "Don't say that you only knew my identity two years ago. I'm afraid you would know it when my mother came to the capital. You didn't hide it from me. Who would you blame me if my aunt?"

"Uh..." Xia Huangyu said, "Forget it, you are reasonable. I can't beat you now. Do you want to vent your anger?"

"Then let it go, I can't think of a regicide name." Gu Qingci said.

After a while of silence, Emperor Xia slowly said: "Qingci, I know that my royal family has always owe you a Gu family. I can't say anything to compensate. You don't need it. I also know your personality, but I still want to say thank you."

Gu Qingci sighed and said, "No need to say this. Now in this situation, alas, I will do my best."

Emperor Xia and Gu Qingci are both the people in this world who know the most about the world. They also know that at this time, it is meaningless to say too much, and they can only try it.

The two of them talked for a long time, and Emperor Xia was a little tired. When Gu Qingci was about to say goodbye, Emperor Xia suddenly sat up from the bed, greeted Xiao Yi, and said, "Xiao Yi, go and get the imperial edict to me."

Xiao Yi went out and soon came in with two imperial edicts.

Emperor Xia pointed to the imperial edict and said, "Qingci, these are probably the last two imperial edicts in my life. Take it well and don't lose it. One imperial edict is for you, and the other... it belongs to the prince."

Gu Qingci raised his eyebrows and said, "Your Majesty..."

Emperor Xia waved his hand and said, "No need to say more, you should know my situation better than me. Mr. Wuque left immediately, and the national fortune will be half weaker. At that time, it is also the time for me to leave. Whether Chang'an can be saved depends on you." After that, Emperor Xia looked at Xiao Yi again and said, "Put the imperial edict!"

Xiao Yi nodded, looked at Gu Qingci, and whispered: "Mr. Marquis, please accept the order!"

Gu Qingci was stunned for a moment, slowly stood up, bowed to hold the salute.

"The Gu family has a son who founded Xingtian Mansion and protected the people of the country... Now, he was ordered to enter the capital to maintain the stability of the capital and become the general of the Imperial Guard. He belongs to the emperor only and does not enter the Ministry of War. He will be appointed to the office today. No mistakes shall be made. He will be given a dragon fish suit and a sword in the court. He will be killed by the foolish emperor and the rebel ministers at the bottom. Rong will be the right to behead first and then report!"

Gu Qingci bowed and said, "I will receive the order!"

After receiving the imperial edict, Gu Qingci looked at Emperor Xia and said, "Your Majesty..."

Emperor Xia smiled and said, "I don't need to read another imperial edict. You can see for yourself. If the imperial city is in chaos on the day of my death, you will lead troops to pledge the verdict, hold the Sword of Shangfang, protect the new emperor, and kill the rebel ministers."

"I understand."

Gu Qingci took the imperial edict and slowly opened it. As expected, the imperial edict was explained. The new emperor was the seventh prince Tang Moyi. If someone rebels, let the Xishan Imperial Guard obey Gu Qingci's command and enter the imperial city.

"I'm a little tired. Go and see your aunt. She has always wanted to see you."

…………

When Gu Qingci came out of the imperial city, it was already late at night. He went to meet his aunt who was the mother of the world. The first time he met, the embarrassment was resolved in Queen Gu's crying.

Empress Gu personally cooked a meal for Gu Qingci. After eating, Empress Gu pulled him to chat. For the whole afternoon, Empress Gu did not talk to him about any state affairs, but just asked about his life over the years. She started crying from time to time, making Gu Qingci's head full of his head, but he was helpless.

To be honest, he had seen Queen Gu from a distance before, but at that time he felt quite friendly and had asked someone for inquiries. When he saw him today, he was sure that the kind of kindness was real, it was really friendly!

The imperial city is still the same imperial city, but I don’t know why. Compared with the imperial city five years ago, Gu Qingci always felt a little more lonely. He didn’t know how many winds and clouds were in Chang’an City today, but he knew that standing was indeed a little dusk.

I returned to Qingshi Lane again and returned to the yard where he lived, but this time he was the only one. There were traces of his original battle with the piano on the bluestone wall, but there was less light rain.

The man holding a lantern was missing.

In the bluestone alley, there was a moon hanging, and there was a silence all over the place, and suddenly the sound of a piano sounded.

…………

Zhuzhou, a small mountain village.

This small mountain village is a very ordinary mountain village. When the night is quiet, the moon hangs high. A man in black wearing a mask arrives quietly like a ghost, without alarming anyone, and even the barking of a dog has not changed. When he walks in the village, his shadow is pulled very long.

Finally, the masked man stopped in front of a farmer's door. He wandered in front of the door for a while and gently pressed the door.

A rough man's voice sounded in the room: "Who is it so late?"

The masked man didn't say anything, but knocked on the door twice, but the frequency of the message was a bit strange. It was obviously in the empty night, but it didn't spread far.

At this moment, a middle-aged man suddenly appeared behind him and said coldly: "Judge Cui, why are you here?"

The masked man, known as Judge Cui, shook all over, turned slowly, fell to the ground, and said, "King Ksitigarbha, something happened in the underworld!"
