The magnificent palaces are scattered among the cliffs, like the undulating waves and rocks, giving people the illusion of being high and holy.
The deep inner garden of the palace is eerily quiet.
A group of golden-armored sword guards led the way, followed closely by the regent and Xuanyuan Qiong. The servants and palace envoys along the way were all squatting on the ground and getting out of the way without raising their heads.
??He went straight to the palace of the Emperor of Daxia without any obstruction.
At this moment¡ª¡ª
A large number of royal concubines, princes and princesses were already kneeling in front of the palace door. Some of them were secretly wiping their tears, while more of them had expressions of fear on their faces, so much so that they were trembling all over.
The emperor¡¯s life is long gone.
Those princes and princesses were okay, but they were miserable because they had a bunch of three thousand beauties and concubines in the harem.
These women are likely to become burial victims. Once Xuanyuan Ren dies, they will also be thrown into the mausoleum of the Great Xia Empire and imprisoned alive in the coffin.
"Don't get out of the way!"
The leader of the golden-armored sword guard frowned and shouted without any politeness: "The regent is here, you all should get out of the way immediately!"
next moment¡ª¡ª
Everyone in front of the palace door dispersed in a hurry.
At this sensitive moment, the golden-armored sword guard represents the emperor's personal will. Although the emperor's relatives in front of him are usually arrogant, no one dares to touch his bad luck.
¡°Your Majesty, please~~¡±
Also gave way to the road.
The leader of the golden-armored sword guard lowered his head and said respectfully: "Your Majesty is inside, and his only wish is to see you one last time"
Nodding silently.
The Xuanyuan Zhong in front of him is still wearing a raincoat, and his temperament is like that of an old farmer and fisherman among the people.
But now, everyone present did not dare to be disrespectful to him. They lowered their heads and stood on the left and right sides, waiting for the next move of the iron-blooded prince.
"Qiong'er, stay here for a while."
He reached out and rubbed the girl's head.
The regent warned softly: "Remember not to run around. I will come back to you after I have finished my serious business."
I couldn¡¯t help but hesitate to speak.
Although Xuanyuan Qiong has thousands of things to say, seeing that the current situation is very urgent, it is hard to say any more.
He let go of the girl¡¯s little hand.
The Prince Regent turned to look at the door of the palace, and finally strode in alone.
Inside the palace, the light is extremely dark.
The windows on all sides were tightly closed, making it almost airtight.
On the large bed, a skinny body was coughing non-stop.
Emperor Xuanyuan Ren of Great Xia was breathing rapidly. Beside him, Prince Xuanyuan Longcheng was kneeling on the ground, holding his father's hand firmly with both hands, with no intention of letting go for a moment.
"Cough cough cough"
I heard the footsteps keenly.
Xuanyuan Ren, whose consciousness had long been blurred, immediately stretched out his hand to grab the void, and shouted breathlessly: "Brother Emperor, is Brother Emperor coming"
Grit your teeth.
The regent immediately knelt down on one knee and saluted respectfully: "The guilty minister Xuanyuan Zhong, I bow to your majesty."
"Quickly, let the emperor come to me"
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? dancing.
Xuanyuan Ren couldn¡¯t hold his breath, just to wait for the regent to come.
The Crown Prince Xuanyuan Longcheng stood up in front of the bed and obediently gave up his seat.
The other servants and maids were frightened, kneeling on the ground and not daring to make any unnecessary movements.
Hear the words.
Xuanyuan Zhong stood up slowly, walked slowly to the side of the dragon couch, and glanced over.
However, at this moment, Xuanyuan Ren was no longer human. He was as skinny as a stick and his eye sockets were sunken. His eyeballs were widened and covered with mottled bloodshot eyes.
"Your Majesty"
Although there were some festivals before, we are still brothers after all.
Xuanyuan Zhong couldn't help but feel sad, and choked up: "Your Majesty, please take care of the dragon body."
"Brother EmperorI'm afraid I can't survive"
Taking advantage of the situation, he grabbed the regent's hand.
Xuanyuan Ren¡¯s eyes were empty and he stared straight at the ceiling. He was already seriously ill and it was difficult to cure him.
"I can fall downHowever, the Daxia Empirecannot fail"
Holding both hands tightly together, it can be said that ten fingers are connected to the heart.
In the face of separation between life and death.
The two have completely put aside their previous unpleasantness. Their political opinions may be different, but their feelings for the Great Xia Empire are exactly the same.
"Your Majesty, don't worry."
He nodded silently.
Xuanyuan Zhong was silent for a long time, gritted his teeth and replied: "As long as I am here, the Great Xia Empire will not fall"
A smile of relief appeared on the skinny, sallow face.
Raising his hands suddenly, Xuanyuan Ren shouted at the top of his lungs: "Long Cheng, Long Cheng"
"Father!"
He rolled and crawled to the side of the dragon couch.
Xuanyuan Longcheng's face was filled with tears and he quickly responded: "My son is here, my son is always here!"
??Take a deep breath.
Xuanyuan Ren's eyes were filled with fear, and he gritted his teeth and warned: "After I leave, everything must be obeyed by the emperor's uncle There must be no disobedience at all, do you understand?!"
"Father, Father"
Glancing at Xuanyuan Zhong on the side, Crown Prince Xuanyuan Longcheng¡¯s eyes were full of doubts, and he was obviously a little wary of him.
You can imagine.
Once the late emperor passed away, with the few connections he had accumulated just after taking the throne, he was no match for the regent.
The other party is a descendant of the royal family and is also a very powerful night watchman.
It can be said that as long as Xuanyuan Zhong dares to think, he can be driven off the dragon throne in minutes and replace him.
¡°I¡¯m asking you, do you understand?!¡± Xuanyuan Ren roared.
"Ming, understand!"
Even if you don¡¯t want to.
The young Xuanyuan Longcheng still knelt three times and kowtowed nine times, and had no choice but to agree to this promise.
Xuanyuan Ren hesitated to speak, and his whole body began to tremble silently.
As the king of a country, how could he not know that recalling Xuanyuan Zhong at this moment may actually cause a huge disaster for the future prince.
But the lesser of two powers harming each other
Compared with the potential threats that Xuanyuan Zhong may bring, he is more afraid that Xuanyuan Longcheng's foundation is too shallow, which will lead to the turmoil of the entire country.
This way.
Xuanyuan Ren could only choose to take a gamble. Even if the regent took away the throne, at least the country of Great Xia would still be in the hands of the Xuanyuan family instead of being plucked by outsiders.
"I understand."
He nodded heavily.
Xuanyuan Zhong solemnly said: "My king has always acted openly and aboveboard, and I will definitely help Long Cheng secure his position in Daxia. Your Majesty, please rest assured about this."
"This is so good"
Let out a long breath.
Xuanyuan Ren lay down quietly on the bed, no longer struggling as hard as before, and sighed slowly: "In this way, I can finally go to see my ancestors with peace of mind "
Stop talking.
A trace of panic and unwillingness suddenly flashed across his eyes.
Emperor Xuanyuan Ren of Great Xia straightened his body, and after a burst of twitching all over his body, he finally breathed his last breath.
"Father, FatherFather~~~"
By the ear.
Xuanyuan Longcheng's cries were deafening. The regent gritted his teeth and reached out to brush the Emperor of Daxia's face, covering his eyelids that were staring at death.
"The Emperor of Great Xia, Xuanyuan Ren, passed away and went to the west¡ª¡ª!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
