After drinking the medicine for a day, Emperor Yanqing became a little better. In the evening, the empress dowager came to see him. Emperor Yanqing chatted with him for a while. When he saw the empress dowager off, Emperor Yanqing looked at the remaining empress and several concubines, and said tiredly: "Everyone will go back to the palace to rest, I don't need you to serve you."

Everyone left, the bedroom was quiet, Emperor Yanqing lay motionless on the bed, unable to sleep, but he didn't know what to think, his head was empty.

"Emperor, the prince consort is asking for a meeting." Eunuch Liu, the chief eunuch, came in to report.

"Xuan." Emperor Yanqing looked outside and whispered, his voice was aging and weak.

Eunuch Liu went out to invite someone, and then came in with the prince-consort.

"Father, how do you feel?" Jing Yixing went to the dragon's bed and asked with concern. Calling Father means that she is speaking as a son-in-law.

Emperor Yanqing nodded, "It's much better, what's wrong with Tingsheng?" His turbid eyes looked at the young man beside the bed with vague envy. When he was nineteen years old, he was as handsome and upright as Xiao Ting, and full of ambitions. However, he passed by in a vague and misunderstood year by year, and many roads were wrong. Now, few of the people around him were what he really wanted.

The son was not good, and the son-in-law returned after winning some face in Dali and in the Huns. Therefore, the look of Emperor Yanqing looking at his son-in-law was a little bit of envy that was difficult to detect, and the rest was the elders' appreciation and love for the younger generation.

Jing Yi did not explore what the emperor had in his eyes, but only lowered his head and said, "My son is fine. It is the fourth princess who is worried about her father's illness. She dared not tell her father clearly. Before leaving, she repeatedly told me to let her be filial to her father for more than filial piety."

Emperor Yanqing stood on the bed in a daze.

The Fourth Princess was not as calm as she was. She actually cared about his father in her heart?

Perhaps he was old and seriously ill. He suddenly learned that his daughter, who had been neglected for more than ten years, was still thinking about him. Emperor Yanqing's eyes suddenly felt sore, and a few old tears rolled down uncontrollably. As for whether he was moved or guilty, he knew it himself.

"Look at you, yourselves." Eunuch Liu bent over and handed a handkerchief considerately, "The princess is filial to you, the emperor must rest well, and don't worry them anymore."

Emperor Yanqing smiled, wiped his tears, and looked at his son-in-law again. Emperor Yanqing waved his hand to Eunuch Liu, "You go down first, I will talk to my son-in-law for a few family matters."

Eunuch Liu retreated with a smile.

Emperor Yanqing suddenly sighed and looked at the bed and said, "Tingsheng, I have regarded you as my nephew since I was a child. I am not worse than my two sons. Now, I have only told you about this. Don't spread it."

Jing Yi immediately knelt down and promised not to tell the third person.

Emperor Yanqing asked his son-in-law to get up, and after a long time of silence, he said with nostalgia: "The woman I love most in my life is Jing Yi's mother. If Concubine Zhuang was willing to give me a smile, I would even be willing to dismiss the harem for her, but in her heart... After Concubine Zhuang left, I dare not see Jing Yi again, for fear of remembering the old things, and for fear of seeing the shadow of her mother on Jing Yi's face... Now that I have ignored Jing Yi for so many years, she must have blamed me, right?"

Jing Yi knelt down again and said, "The father is worried too much. The princess is just used to being alone. She is not good at speaking and doesn't know how to get close to her father. She has never complained, except..."

Speaking of this, Jing Yi stopped in time and looked at Emperor Yanqing nervously, as if he was regretting his words.

"Except what?" Emperor Yanqing asked inquiry.

Jing Yi pursed his lips and kowtowed, "My son dare not deceive his father. In fact, the princess fell into the water on the Lantern Festival last year, which was not accidental, but someone secretly plotted to murder. The princess was timid and did not dare to cause trouble. She asked her son to help her hide it. The son also felt that the father might not pursue it, so... But there was a villain hidden in the palace, and the son was uneasy, and he asked Lord Wei to help him guard against it."

"What can he find out?" Emperor Yanqing asked with a frown.

Jing Yi shook his head, "No, or it is not convenient to tell his son. Fortunately, everything is peaceful in the palace in the past two years, so the father should rest assured and he will not have to worry about the princess anymore."

Emperor Yanqing was feeling guilty about his daughter, so how could he say nothing but care? He pondered for a while and asked Jing Yi to go out first, and then asked Eunuch Liu to tell Wei Duo to come over.

Eunuch Liu arranged for the young eunuch to go to the successor.

Wei Duo rushed over quickly and went in front of the saint to ask Eunuch Liu in a low voice: "The emperor summoned me overnight. Can you tell me what happened?"

Eunuch Liu had no clue, the emperor was sick and could not tell anything about his expression. After sending Wei Duo in, he was guarding outside with his duty.

In the bedroom, Wei Duo stopped in front of the bed and saluted, "Emperor."

Emperor Yanqing nodded. Just as he was about to ask, the minister opposite suddenly stepped forward. Emperor Yanqing was shocked. However, Wei Duo stuffed a pill into his mouth. Emperor Yanqing widened his eyes, but Wei Duo pinched Emperor Yanqing's chin and forced him to swallow it. Then he tightly covered Emperor Yanqing's mouth.

Emperor Yanqing struggled with all his might, but the more he struggled, the less power he became. After about a cup of tea, Emperor Yanqing became honest and his eyes were dissipated.

Knowing that the medicine had started, Wei Duo helped Emperor Yanqing lean against the head of the bed, then looked directly into Emperor Yanqing's eyes, and repeated three sentences constantly. Emperor Yanqing stared at him blankly, and gradually his lips moved, but unless he got closer, no one could hear what he was saying.

After preparing here, Wei Duo quietly moved the low table to the dragon bed, put it on the legs of Emperor Yanqing, and then unfolded the imperial edict given to him by Xu Guang. After handling it, the imperial edict was made like the newly written one. Wei Duo spread the imperial edict in front of Emperor Yanqing and sealed the emperor's jade seal. Then he walked out of the bedroom and said to Eunuch Liu: "The emperor's words are instructed, please ask the Empress Dowager, Empress, King Zhao, King Gong, Fourth Princess, Prince Concubine and six cabinet ministers to come and meet the saint!"

Eunuch Liu shook his body, and a bad guess appeared in his mind, and he asked Wei Duo with his eyes.

Wei Duo nodded heavily.

The oral orders were passed to various places one after another. The empress dowager and the queen arrived first. When they came, Jing Yicai followed behind and stepped into the inner room. He saw Wei Duo and Eunuch Liu kneeling side by side in front of the dragon bed, while Emperor Yanqing leaned there weakly, putting one hand on the low table in front of him, and his lips kept moving.

"emperor……"

The empress dowager trembled all over, and was supported by the empress, and staggered to Emperor Yanqing. She lowered her head and asked. Seeing that her son had no reaction, she just kept saying something. The empress dowager hurriedly leaned over to listen.

"King Zhao harmed his brothers and sisters, but King Gong did not cultivate his personal morality. He was the country of Great Zhou, and the prince-consort Xiao Ting..."

The queen mother was shocked and looked at the prince-consort behind her and her nephew.

Jing Yi looked confused and said worriedly: "Grandma, how is the father's condition?"

The Empress Dowager was stormy and could no longer speak. Perhaps she knew very well in her heart that she shouldn’t say that, and shouldn’t have said it from Empress Dowager Xiao. She lowered her head and tried to calmly ask Eunuch Liu and Wei Duo: "Why did the emperor suddenly get sick? Isn’t it okay in the evening?"

Eunuch Liu said in panic: "In the evening, the prince-consort asked for a meeting and respected the emperor for the fourth princess. The emperor burst into tears with relief. Then he asked Lord Wei to come in. The old slave was guarding outside, and he didn't know what the emperor said to Lord Wei."

The Empress Dowager will look at Wei Duo again.

Wei Duo said heavily: "When I came in, the emperor looked rosy. I thought the emperor was in a good condition. Unexpectedly, after the emperor finished writing the order, he suddenly became ill and was anxious to order me to pass oral instructions. When I and Eunuch Liu rushed in, the emperor would be like this now... I was frightened and did not dare to move the emperor without authorization..."

While speaking, the imperial physicians arrived, and the first pulse was the first, but Emperor Yanqing looked like he was exhausted after returning to the light.

King Zhao, King Gong, and six cabinet ministers arrived one after another. When Xiao Ting hurriedly stepped into the emperor's bedroom with his big belly, Emperor Yanqing happened to finish his last oral order, and then he drooped his hand and died. Only the empress dowager cried bitterly, leaving only the queen and others kneeling on the ground and crying to see him off, and the decree of passing the throne on the table was written by him "personally" on the table.

"Father..." Xiao Ting's legs became weak, and he was about to fall down while holding Menling. He acted more realistically than the real one.

Jing Yi took a few steps, helped him walk to the dragon bed, and then knelt down together.

Xiao Ting used a veil to wipe his eyes, then lowered his head and cried. Jing Yi couldn't cry and looked solemn.
