After the beginning of spring, there is no more snow in the capital city of Shuo, and the drizzle turns to fall ceaselessly. It looks like there is no end to it.

In the palace, however, there was no new year's joy and vitality. Emperor Wenxuan's illness became more and more serious, and the palace people's expression was gloomy, which was accompanied by the spring rain.

The door of the bedroom hall was opened, and guangshuo, the fourth prince, came out of it.

These days, he came to see emperor Wenxuan very often. Emperor Wenxuan loved this son, and his servants were not surprised. Although they did not dare to discuss it openly, the palace people secretly thought that although he was now the prince of Guangyan, it was hard to say who the throne would be in the future.

In the bedroom, Emperor Wenxuan was lying on the collapse, looking at the bright yellow curtain of the dragon.

In recent days, he told Princess LAN not to run to this end every day, but nothing else. He was afraid that she would fall into the eyes of outsiders and spread some rumors. It's hard to predict. If it was not in the past, but now he even has difficulties in going to court. I'm afraid that he can't protect the mother and son of Princess LAN as well as before.

Thinking of guangshuo, Emperor Wenxuan sighed again.

Guangshuo is excellent, both moral and talent, and filial piety. Apart from other things, if you have more decisiveness and coldness, you will be a rare wise emperor in the great Wei Dynasty. But it was because of his kindness and softness that emperor Wenxuan treated him differently - because guangshuo was like his own son.

It is a pity that even so, Emperor Wenxuan could not change the throne to guangshuo at this juncture. Once he did so, the court would be in chaos. According to his extensive personality, he was afraid that the scene of royal children fighting against each other and splashing blood on the hall would be staged immediately.

If he was in his prime of life, he would have been able to suppress all this, but he was already old. For so many years, the courtiers followed guangshuo's, followed Guangyan's, and everyone had his own mind. He could not control so much.

But After all, there must be a result.

The door outside made a slight sound. Emperor Wenxuan was stunned, thinking that he was a member of the palace. Then, a broad voice rang out: "father Emperor Are you asleep

It's a wide range of visitors.

With a mahogany basket in his hand, he saw that emperor Wenxuan was about to get up on the collapse, so he rushed forward, helped emperor Wenxuan to get up, leaned against the head of the bed, and called out "father emperor".

“…… Why are you here? " Emperor Wen Xuan asked, but as soon as he spoke, he was surprised to find his voice hoarse.

"When I heard that my father was ill, my son's minister was frightened..." It seems that the emperor wants to go to the palace to have a look

Guangyanzi was domineering and arrogant. For the first time, he showed such a look of fear and helplessness. Emperor Wenxuan looked at him and sighed.

Since Xu Jingfu had an accident, Guangyan didn't come to the palace very much. Emperor Wen Xuan of course knew that in the past, Guangyan had come close to Xu Jingfu because he was afraid that he would be implicated by Xu Jingfu and deliberately avoided the limelight. Emperor Wen Xuan was also angry with Guangyan. He was really disgusted by Xu Jingfu.

However, Guangyan is his son after all, and his son is not many.

So that's why Guangyan is still safe and sound. That's because the people in Dali temple were instructed by Emperor Wenxuan. In all the cases related to Xu Jingfu, Prince Guangyan was bypassed.

Seeing emperor Wenxuan staring at himself, he didn't know what he was thinking. Guangyan is a little uneasy and subconsciously uncovers the mahogany basket and brings out a small bowl of soup from it.

"Father and emperor, this is the ginseng soup that children minister goes to imperial dining room to make people boil." "Father, drink a little," he said

Emperor Wenxuan looked at him, and for some reason, he suddenly remembered that guangshuo had not been born when Guangyan was a child. He had only Guangyan, a legitimate eldest son, who had really loved him. At that time, Guangyan was only four years old. He was not as cruel and merciless as he is now. He was only a little bit tall.

Empress Zhang gave Guangyan a bowl of sweet soup. Guangyan couldn't bear to eat it. Baba ran to the imperial study from Kunning palace with the bowl in her arms. After her, the lactating mother knelt down in fear and begged for mercy. Emperor Wenxuan held Guangyan in his lap and asked with a smile, "what are you doing with this bowl?"

"Father Huang," the children's words are not very clear, some vague, the bowl to his mouth to lift up, "this is good to drink, father to drink a little bit!"

When Emperor Wen Xuan heard the speech, he laughed heartily, "it's hard for you to think about me when you're young. It's not in vain that you love me!"

Emperor Wen Xuan has forgotten what the sweet soup is like. The laughter seems to be yesterday. But in a flash, Guangyan has grown so big, which is no longer similar to the child who used to hold the bowl and lie down on his knees and act coquettish. He is also perplexed. After all these years, what is wrong with him that will lead to the present situation?

Emperor Wen Xuan took a deep breath and asked, "Guangyan, what do you want to say about Xu Jingfu?"

On this bowl of ginseng soup, he was still soft hearted, and he still wanted to give Guangyan a chance.

Guangyan's heart leaped. Emperor Wenxuan suddenly asked what the meaning of the words was. He only said, "I didn't expect that Xu Jingfu, as the prime minister, actually betrayed his country with the enemy For so many years, my father and the emperor trusted him a lot, but he had the heart of plotting against him. This crime should be punished! "Seeing the Dodge in his eyes, Emperor Wenxuan sighed slightly and shook his head: "when I was young, I read books and said that people were in charge of officials, just like hunters governing eagles. They took them to their backs and controlled them in hunger and satiety. Do not make yourself full or hungry. If you are hungry, you will lack strength; if you are full, you will fly on your back. The old officials like Xu Jingfu in the court are like eagles full of food. They are bold and shameless, and they are content with wealth and wealth. I would like to reward them but not like them. If I punish them, I will not be afraid of them. I can't move forward for the great Wei Dynasty. "

Listening absentmindedly, Guangyan looked down on the bowl of ginseng soup and said, "my son, please obey the instructions of my father. Xu Jingfu is really hateful. He cheated all his children and ministers. If he could find out Xu Jingfu's disobedience earlier, those Utopian people would not succeed. "

Emperor Wen Xuan looked at him deeply, "it's better to punish oneself than to punish yourself."

The emperor had some cloudy eyes, but at this moment, he was particularly clear and bright, as if he could see the soul through his eyes. Guangyan suddenly bowed his head and took the bowl of ginseng soup to Emperor Wenxuan. He said with a smile, "the father said so much, he must be tired. The ginseng soup will be cold if you don't drink it. You'd better finish the ginseng soup first

When Emperor Wen Xuan saw that he was eager, he was not as frivolous as he used to be. He thought that the affair of Xu Jingfu had made Guangyan a little better, so he nodded.

Guangyan sat down next to Emperor Wenxuan, picked up the bowl, scooped a little with a silver spoon, and reached the emperor's mouth.

Emperor Wen Xuan was stunned, "don't you try soup?"

"Try soup?" Look at him.

"Maybe you haven't served me for a long time. You don't even know the rules of trying soup." Although Emperor Wen Xuan said so, his tone was still tolerant. "If you come to deliver soup four days ago, you should try first."

There was a moment of panic on the surface.

He did not serve Emperor Wen Xuan for a long time. Therefore, he did not know that Emperor Wen Xuan was so ill that he still remembered to test drugs. What's more, he did not expect that even the food sent by guangshuo could not be trusted by Emperor Wenxuan.

But this ginseng soup

His fingers trembled slightly.

Emperor Wenxuan used to be just a joke. Although there were many rules in the palace, sometimes he didn't obey everything. He wanted to say forget it, but when he looked up, he saw his pale face and white fingers.

In some cases, people have intuition.

The bowl of ginseng soup is boiling hot, now put for a while, just warm, you can smell the faint aroma. But in front of the person's appearance, unavoidably too nervous.

The emperor's eyes instantly became deep and quiet, he slowly opened his mouth, and his tone was suddenly unpredictable, "Guangyan, you should have a drink first."

"My father There is no other silver spoon here... "

"No problem. I can go and get it again. Now, try the soup first."

In such a case, there was no way to avoid it. He had to pick up the soup and scoop it up with a silver spoon. He slowly handed it to his mouth and refused to touch it.

Emperor Wen Xuan looked at it and his heart sank.

In the past, although he knew guangshuo was abusive, he never dared to do anything to himself. He is also the flesh and blood of one's closest relatives, and he also turns a blind eye to his extensive virtue. Even if Xu Jingfu had an accident this time, Emperor Wenxuan still wanted to protect him. Even before he handed over the soup just now, Emperor Wen Xuan thought that he would give Guangyan a chance. Before the last moment, he could not easily mention the matter of establishing a prince.

But he never expected that Guangyan would kill his father and king.

"Why don't you drink it?" He spoke in a deep voice and looked at his strange son.

After gnawing his teeth, Guangyan would lower his head to drink the ginseng soup in the spoon, but at the last moment, he flung the soup bowl out of his hand like a soldering iron, and stood up all of a sudden.

The soup bowl fell on the pile blanket before it collapsed, spilling it all over the place silently. Guangyan suddenly returned to his mind and realized how stupid his action had been. He trembled and looked at his collapsed father.

Emperor Wen Xuan looked at his eyes, disappointed, distressed, and a little bit cold.

"I don't know," the emperor said, "the purpose of your coming today is to want my life."

"No, I didn't -" a wide subconscious denial. "I didn't do it!"

"As long as I ask the grand physician to examine it, I will know right away." Emperor Wen Xuan, with a cold look on his face, stood up to fall down and called out, "come here --"

"father emperor!" Guangyan rushed over, covered his mouth, and nervously said, "there is no child minister!"

Emperor Wen Xuan has been in bad health these days. He just threw himself on his back and rode on the collapse. He caught a glimpse of the cotton pillow that had collapsed. He grabbed it and covered his mouth and nose. There was only one thought in his heart: don't let emperor Wenxuan say it!

The people under him are struggling desperately, but how can an elderly patient compare with a man in his prime. The more he struggled, the more ferocious his expression became. He almost pressed the weight of his whole body on emperor Wenxuan, pressing the cotton pillow like a dying fish. His mouth was short and said, "don't shout. I told you not to shout!"The fish thrown from the water to the desert, desperately swinging their bodies, eager to get a ray of life, the scales were thrown splash, until the hot sun dried fish eyes, completely changed no life.

I don't know how long, the struggle under the body gradually stopped, extensive sweating, suddenly released his hand, suddenly opened the pillow.

Emperor Wenxuan lay on his back, his face blue and purple, and his pupils dilated. Under the dark lights of his bedroom hall, he looked at the past like a devil.

Guangyan was startled. He fell down from the collapse and sat down on the ground. He stepped back two steps. It took him a long time to recover. He realized that Emperor Wen Xuan was really smothered by him this time.

The external internal servants had been taken away by him long ago. They came here today to poison the emperor. But I didn't expect that the bowl of ginseng soup mixed with poison would be discovered by Emperor Wenxuan. In the end, it was suffocated by him.

The bedroom was empty, and the wind was like the cry of evil spirits, which made people feel cold. Guangyan stood up with fear in his heart and went to Emperor Wenxuan. First, he picked up the soup bowl on the ground and put it back into the mahogany basket. Then he went to the Dragon collapse of emperor Wenxuan. He helped emperor Wenxuan to lie down in the collapse again, smoothed the emperor's wide eyes and covered him with quilts.

Without seeing his father's eyes in his eyes, he became more daring. He looked at the corpse of emperor Wenxuan and said in a low voice: "father, don't blame your son's minister. If you want to blame yourself, you should blame yourself for not giving me the throne. If you didn't force me, I wouldn't have done it The throne is mine, father . you just watch how the child minister sits in this position Just look at it like this... "

He slowly clenched his fist, stood up suddenly, took the mahogany basket, and turned out of the bedroom.

……

It rained again at night.

In his sleep, he Yan vaguely heard the rain outside. He couldn't sleep after waking up. He turned over and held the people on his side.

It's not that she wants to take advantage of Xiao Jue anytime and anywhere. It's just that the weather is cold and the person around her should be warmer. Xiao Jue sleeps very quietly and looks very different from her.

Xiao Jue was also woken up by her noise. Xiao Jue looked down and got into his arms. He held him tightly and asked in a low voice, "why don't you sleep?"

"Wake up." He Yan stuffy voice way: "a bit can't sleep."

This is a little strange. Although years of military life have made her keep alert in her sleep, she has been sleeping soundly since she arrived at Xiao's house. It is rare for her to have insomnia like this tonight. For some reason, he Yan always felt uneasy, as if something was going to happen.

When she got to the top of her chin, she asked, "would you like to sit on the roof?"

He Yan said:

"It's raining outside," she said

Xiao Jue: "it's just a joke."

He Yan wanted to speak but stopped.

She always felt that after Xu Jingfu's death, things were not over. The fight between Guangyan and the fourth prince was just beginning. Xiao Jue or Xiao family, in which the position is delicate, I'm afraid it is not so easy to solve. It's just that this evening, it seems a bit disappointing to talk about these disturbing things.

He Yan is thinking, outside suddenly came the sound of knocking on the door, the voice of flying slave sounded outside, "young master, there is something important to report.".

She was stunned. In the middle of the night, feinu was in such a hurry. What happened.

This time, it is really sleepless. Xiao Jue got up to bed and lit the oil lamp in the room. He Yan also got up in his clothes. As soon as the door opened, the wind and rain outside drifted in, and the room suddenly became much colder.

Feinu came in, his clothes were wet, and he looked dignified.

Xiao Jue asked him, "what's the matter?"

"News came from the palace that the emperor had died."

He Yan and Xiao Jue were shocked at the same time. Xiao Jue twisted her eyebrows: "when?"

"It was just the news." Fei Nu said, "young master, do you want to go into the palace?"

Xiao Jue thought for a moment and said, "I know. You go to prepare the car, and I will enter the palace immediately."

Feinu answered and left.

He Yan took the oil lamp and walked forward two steps. He was surprised, "the Emperor..."

She didn't expect Emperor Wen Xuan to suddenly die. Although there have been rumors outside these days that emperor Wenxuan was not in good health, the news was too sudden. Her mind was complicated and difficult to understand. For emperor Wenxuan, it was said that he had many bad things. However, in Heyan's opinion, although he was not a Ming Jun, he was definitely not a faint one.

Xiao Jue was dressing. Heyan asked, "do you want me to enter the palace with you?"

Feinu's words are simple. No one knows what is going on in the palace.

"No, you stay in the mansion." Xiao Jue said, "I'll go to the palace to see how it works."

He Yan nodded. Although he was worried, he knew that Xiao Jue was right. At present, her official position has not reached the point where she can enter the palace at the first time in this situation, and as the young lady of the Xiao family, she has no reason. It's justXiao Jue see her look worried, turned to pat her shoulder: "don't worry, I go to see, will immediately return to the house."

"Xiao Jue, be careful." She said.

Xiao Jue put on her clothes, picked up her sword and went out of the door. He Yan didn't have the mind to sleep again. He went to the window and opened the window. The fine rain water drifted into the room along the wind outside. The table was covered with a thin layer of water drops. The wind made his face cool and sleepy, and his mind was clear.

Although we shouldn't think about this kind of thing at this time, one thing happens, and many things will happen immediately. Before the death of emperor Wenxuan, he did not propose to change the crown prince. Even though there was a lot of discussion in the court, if not, it would be the crown prince's succession.

But what kind of person is Prince Guangyan? Everyone knows. Although Guangyan was not implicated in Xu Jingfu's case, he Yan asked Xiao Jue that the end of Dali temple had the intention of emperor Wenxuan and secretly protected Prince Guangyan. Emperor Wenxuan couldn't bear to be a prince because the prince was his own blood. However, as the future emperor of the great Wei Dynasty, a villain who could lead the wolves into the house for the sake of power and profit was not worthy of being king.

The rain seems to have no end, so does the night.
