"There is no time... Chang Ting, this is fate. I have killed too many people before... so God arranged this time to ask for my life."
At this moment, I finally understood how Pei Yuan felt. Seeing the person I loved lingering in front of me made my heart break. But he did it again and again.
"No, you are the emperor, you are still so young..." In an instant, a sadness I had never felt before was overwhelmed. With all my rationality, I stared at him and shouted, regardless of whether there was anyone outside to listen.
Xia Yan was already exhausted and couldn't care less about the nonsense I was talking about now.
"Don't make any noise... Now listen carefully. If something happens to me, you must remember the following clearly." Xia Yan gritted his teeth and said.
I struggled to swallow my choked sounds, feeling so heartbroken that I almost suffocated.
Xia Yan closed his eyes and took all the time to explain to me: "If anything happens, you will be the king of Xia Kingdom. I don't mind giving up the country to others. If you don't want to do it, pass the throne to Xia Huanzhi. He now...
...It's not bad now. Also, you have to win over those old ministers carefully. If anything happens to the Xia Kingdom in the future, they will follow you to the death, especially... Di Qing's gang, although they usually go too far, they are all...
He who loves the poor."
"Um……"
"Xiao Shiqi is not young anymore. I will choose a concubine for him in two years, and let him make the decision for the main concubine."
I bit my lip and nodded vigorously.
"And you..." He turned around and looked at me dreamily, his eyes unfocused.
My heart trembled, and I heard Xia Yan say intermittently: "Go find Liu Chi..."
No, I don’t want to find anyone. My eyes are full of tears and I can’t say anything.
Xia Yan, don’t entrust me to anyone. You know very well that I’m such a stupid person. Why would anyone want to take me with them?
So what if Liu Chi can stay with me for a longer time? He is not you.
"What should we do with our children? If something happens to you, what should we do if you call us orphans and widows?" I grabbed his hand and shook it vigorously, tears streaming down my face.
I dare not think about what life will be like without him in the future.
Xia Yan gritted his teeth and said: "Although Song Ke and Hu Min have contributed to the Xia State, they have old-fashioned ideas and are stubborn. Once I die, you will probably be a widow. You can... use my body to remove them from their official titles.
Tell them to retire early, so that no one can control you, and then you can find any reason to depose... Then you will be free."
I had no ability to react and stared at him blankly.
Is this where I will go in the future?
No, I don't want it.
"Xia Yan, please don't abandon me. You gave birth to the child for me, why can't you grow old with me?"
Xia Yan held my hand tightly: "Don't cry, I'm upset by crying... I don't have the energy to have a baby."
Only then did I suddenly realize that he was using a critical moment to tell me what to do in the future. I suddenly felt regretful. I shouldn't have come in. If I hadn't come in, I wouldn't have heard these last words that made my heart tremble.
"Come here, Wang Bo, come in quickly." I quickly let go of Xia Yan's hand and shouted towards the door.
Wang Bo and others slammed the door and came in, waiting outside the curtain: "Your Majesty..."
"I will deliver the baby for you. If there is any accident, I want you nine tribes to be buried with you."
"yes!"
I took a deep look at Xia Yan, turned around and walked out resolutely.
There is not only Wang Bo outside, but also Liu Chi.
He looked at me expressionlessly.
I came to him and said in a very small voice: "I want to give birth by myself now."
