It was already late at night, and the people of the capital had already fallen asleep.

However, the death knell sounded in the palace, and most of the people were still awakened.

Not to mention paying careful attention to the officials in the palace, when the death knell sounds, the servants who keep vigil below notify the masters of the family as soon as possible.

The death knell rang, one after the other, and it didn't stop.

Don't count, this is the death of the emperor.

Only when the emperor dies will the death knell keep ringing.

When the death knell sounded, every household got up and lit oil lamps and candles, changed into mourning clothes, and the red lanterns on the doors changed to white.

When the death knell sounded, there should have been martial law in Beijing, but Xu Wenzhan and his brothers, who were guarding the Beijing gate, stood on top of the city gate, looking in the direction of the distance and waiting for this.

The death of the emperor does not mean that the turmoil of this night has passed.

……

Jiang Zebei, who had just walked out of the palace gate, heard the death knell coming from the palace.

His eyebrows were slightly crouched, his expression was very impatient, and his face was indifferent.

At this moment, he suddenly thought about whether such a big movement would wake up Tiantian in the house.

At this hour, the little woman has already fallen asleep, and the death knell will definitely wake her up.

As long as he thought of this, Jiang Zebei was a little unhappy.

He rode away quickly and galloped in the direction of Fuzhong.

Jiang Zebei's guess was good, Chen Mengtian was woken up.

But he was not woken up by the death knell, but by the white.

When Da Bai heard the death knell ringing, he howled until Chen Mengtian woke up from his slumber.

Listening to the roar of the big white in the courtyard, Chen Mengtian opened his hazy eyes and looked a little impatient.

She needs to get enough sleep lately, and it's really irritating to be woken up in the middle of the night.

But soon, Chen Mengtian didn't have time to get angry.

She heard the howl of the Great White, mixed with the sound of the death knell.

It was the first time she had heard the death knell and didn't know what it meant.

But he faintly felt something, Chen Mengtian got up and came to the window, opened the window, and the bell rang more clearly.

In the middle of the night, which temple was ringing the bell, Chen Mengtian listened to the bell in his ear, and looked in the direction of the palace, where the sound came.

"Ma'am, are you awake?"

The sound of picking up one outside the door rang out.

The other party also has a kung fu background, and after Chen Mengtian made a movement inside, he was the first to make a sound, and he did not rush into the room.

"Well, come in."

The door was gently pushed open, and Shiyi and the maid behind him walked into the room.

Chen Mengtian turned his head and saw the maid behind Genzi's body, dragging a white plain dress in her hand.

Seeing this, Chen Mengtian suddenly understood something.

She looked at Shiyi and asked calmly, "Who died?" ”

After picking up the salute, he turned around and took the plain clothes in the maid's hand, and walked towards Chen Mengtian: "Madam, it was the emperor who died." ”

"Why so suddenly?" Chen Mengtian was still taken aback.

She put on plain clothes in accordance with Shiyi's movements, and her expression was a little trance-like.

Although he knew that Jiang Zebei had made moves these days, he didn't know that he was so neat.

Just because this time is by no means the time when the emperor died in the previous life, and there is still a limit for waiting for another two or three years to be the emperor.

Hearing her so surprised, while serving, he explained in a low voice: "Some time ago, the emperor was seriously ill, and the imperial doctor said that it was almost over, and the master rushed to the palace overnight, and now the death knell has sounded, and I am afraid that things are already on the way back." ”

Chen Mengtian responded in a trance.

Everything was different, off track from everything in her dreams.
