The emperor turned his gaze to Gu Chengyu, and when he saw Gu Chengyu nodding at him, he was relieved.

One last glance at the entrance to the hall, my vision gradually blurred.

"Your Majesty?" The queen sensed that something was wrong with the emperor and immediately pounced.

The prince suddenly panicked, "Imperial Doctor, Imperial Doctor, come in." ”

The imperial doctors and doctors who were looking at each other in the side hall with sad faces couldn't help but shudder when they heard that the prince was shouting.

They looked at each other, and both saw shock and unease in each other's eyes.

The emperor slowly closed his eyes, and then his chest stopped heaving.

Gu Chengyu fell to his knees, his face full of sorrow.

"Your Majesty?" De'an stepped forward and shouted, but the emperor did not respond.

Then he trembled and slowly put his index finger under the emperor's nose, "Ah! ”

"Emperor, Emperor, Niangniang?" He trembled his hands and looked at the queen.

The queen was in a trance at this moment, and suddenly her eyes darkened, and she lost consciousness.

"The Queen Mother?" The crown prince caught the queen's crooked body and shouted anxiously.

Zhang Yuan's envoy hurriedly ran to the dragon couch, he stretched out his hand to probe the emperor's pulse, and then shouted loudly with a heavy face: "The emperor has died!" ”

Everyone inside and outside the hall knelt down when they heard this, Gu Chengyu knelt on the ground, and couldn't help but think of the bits and pieces of getting along with the emperor in the past.

No matter how much the emperor calculates him on weekdays, he is still kind to him after all.

A living person just went like this, Gu Chengyu couldn't help but feel sad, and at the same time, he still had hesitation about the road ahead in his heart.

The new emperor is about to ascend the throne, and I don't know what awaits him. And the dark tide hidden under the calm before, can it still be held at this moment?

The prince carried the queen to the chaise longue on the other side and called a doctor to come forward to diagnose and treat him.

The Imperial Doctor also knows that this is an extraordinary time, and he doesn't dare to be as slow as he is on weekdays.

I saw that he didn't even open the cloth bag where the silver needle was placed, but stepped forward and grabbed the queen's person.

The prince was startled, but then calmed down again. The imperial doctor put a lot of effort into it, and the queen finally woke up at this time.

As soon as she opened her hazy eyes, the queen seemed to remember something, and began to cry again.

She slammed into her feet from the chaise longue and stumbled towards the dragon couch.

"Your Majesty? Why are you so ruthless that you just let it go? The phoenix hairpin on the queen's head had slipped off, but she didn't realize it. Grabbing the emperor's hand, he shook it, and his face was full of tears.

The prince followed behind him and knelt down in front of the dragon couch.

"Father!" The prince lay on the ground, his shoulders shaking, and his voice choked.

Dean sat down on the ground even more, wiping his tears with a handkerchief, and there was a cry in the hall.

Under the influence of such an atmosphere, Gu Chengyu couldn't help shedding a few tears.

Suddenly there was a cry outside the hall, and some concubines had already broken into the hall.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, you are so ruthless! Why did you leave your concubines? ”

Gu Chengyu looked up, only to see many warblers and Yanyan rushing into the hall, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

The harem concubines are not favored much. It is difficult to see the emperor on weekdays, but now that the emperor is in the sky, he can't even see the last side.

The queen didn't stop it, and at this point, she couldn't be so harsh. After all, most of these concubines will be sent to the nunnery in the future, or they will be sent to the cold palace.

If you have a little more face, you can stay in a remote palace, which is the best ending.

Everyone in the palace only cared about crying and mourning, but they didn't remember to arrange the emperor's funeral. Looking at De'an again, De'an was already six gods and no master, and he couldn't lift his spirits at all.

Seeing this, Gu Chengyu couldn't help but sigh.

"Queen Mother, Your Highness! The death of the emperor is a major event for the country. We must hurry up and notify the officials and the people of the funeral. ”

When the prince heard this, he stopped crying.

"Knock", "knock", "knock......

The eldest princess woke up from her dream, and she sat up suddenly and listened intently.

Mama Chang cried with a sad face, and hurriedly rushed into the inner room, "Your Highness! The emperor is dead! ”

The eldest princess was very sad when she heard this, "Father! ”

Qin Guogong ran out of his aunt's courtyard, and on the way, he met Lord Rongjia and Qin Min and others who were going to the main courtyard, so they rushed into the main courtyard together.

The eldest princess was already dressed in mourning clothes, supported by Mama Chang, and walked out of the house.

"Mother!" Qin Yingyuan's eyes were full of tears, and her eyes were full of worry when she looked at her mother.

The eldest princess seemed to have no strength, "Go, go to the palace!" ”

The dull sound of the bell echoed in all corners of the capital, and the people were awakened by the sound of the bell. They got up, got out of the house, and looked in the direction of the Imperial City.

In the mansions of the major families in the capital, the officials didn't have time to think about it, so they hurriedly put on their plain clothes and ran towards the palace.

"Sir! Could it be the emperor? Ning put on mourning clothes for Liang Zhirui and asked worriedly.

Liang Zhirui nodded, "This is the death knell, it was rumored that the emperor was unwell some time ago, but I didn't expect it to be so fast." ”

He stroked the mourning clothes on his body, and his heart was sad.

"You send someone to Jinyu's mansion to have a look, and point out to their mansion so as not to collide. In eventful times, proceed with caution. ”

Liang Zhirui sighed, and then walked out of the house.

A sound of iron horsemen sounded from the outskirts of Beijing, "Phew! ”

The first one grabbed the reins, stopped, and listened carefully to the movement from the capital.

His breath suddenly became unsteady, and his hand holding the reins trembled slightly.

"Lord Wang, this is the death knell!" The two people behind him chased after him, and their tone was eager.

"Who is it? Who the hell is it? You say! The first man turned his head suddenly, his eyes were red, his voice choked, and he asked in disbelief.

"Lord Wang! No matter who it is, the capital is under martial law at the moment, and it will not be easy for us to sneak into the city. ”

In fact, he didn't dare to say that he could ring the death knell, and now there are only two in the palace.

One is the lord of the world, the emperor; The other is the queen mother who is under one person and above ten thousand people.

Some time ago, the prince learned that the emperor was seriously ill, so this death knell, needless to say, can guess who it is.

The prince looked up at the sky, thinking that it would not hurt anymore, but he still couldn't help it, how could he be so useless?

After closing his eyes, he replied in a trembling voice: "It's really difficult for us to go in now, and when the prince will be mourned, we will be able to enter the palace in two days." Let others be ready to do what the king commands. ”

"Yes!"

"Lord Xia, do you still dare to enter the palace at this moment? Aren't you afraid that the prince will ask you for sin? ”

A man in a black cloak stood in the study of the Xia Mansion, and asked with some sarcasm.

At this moment, Xia Qing had already changed into a vegetarian shirt, but he did not go to the palace, but paced in the study.

"Humph! If this official goes out on a business trip, you won't be able to get any good. Tianji was recommended by the official, and once the official was caught, he would never keep his mouth shut. ”

Xia Qing's eyes narrowed slightly, he wouldn't be pinched by this person, when he was a three-year-old child?
