"Your Majesty has just woken up. He is now talking to the Queen and Concubine Yan in the palace. You can wait in the side hall first."
At the entrance of Yangju Hall, Changde closed the door and said to Li Yi and Li Xuan.
Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed his hands, walked into the side hall, and asked: "How many times did your father wake up today?"
Chang De said: "Today is the second time. I woke up for a while in the morning, ate some food and went to sleep again."
After entering the side hall, you can no longer feel the cold air outside.
Yongning saw Li Yi and ran over. He accidentally tripped and fell to the ground.
Li Yi hurriedly ran over, picked her up, and asked with concern: "Does it hurt from the fall?"
Although tears were already welling up in her eyes, she still shook her head and said in a soft voice, "It doesn't hurt..."
Li Yi gently patted the dust on her body, held her little hand, and said, "You have to be more careful when walking in the future, you know?"
Yongning lowered his head and said obediently: "I know..."
In the side hall, there was not only Yongning, but also Mingzhu and Shouning, as well as several younger princes and princesses playing in the distance.
"Sir, what's wrong with my father?" Tsundere Loli slowly raised her head and looked at Li Yi. There was a hint of panic that could not be concealed in the depths of her clear eyes.
Li Yi patted her head gently and said: "Your Majesty is fine, he just wants to talk to you. Don't you still have a lot to say to your father?"
Li Yi looked at Li Mingzhu. She was sitting there with a slightly stunned expression and her eyes lost focus.
A eunuch walked in from outside the door and whispered: "Your Royal Highness, the eldest princess, your Majesty has summoned you."
Li Xuan and Mingzhu took Yongning Shouning and a group of princes and princesses in. Li Yi sat alone in the side hall, staring at the dancing flames in the furnace in a daze.
There was silence in the side hall, except for the "beep, beep, beep" sound of the firewood in the stove. Li Yi's heart was equally peaceful, so quiet that he could not even hear the only sound.
He had vaguely guessed something.
I don't know how long it took, maybe a quarter of an hour, or maybe an hour, before Li Xuan's voice rang in his ears.
Li Yi looked up at him and found that Mingzhu Yongning and Shouning were already standing in front of him.
Li Xuan's eyes were a little red and he whispered: "Father, let you go."
Li Yi nodded, stood up, opened the door and walked out of the side hall.
The cold wind rushed towards him, and he tightened his clothes. Chang De had already opened another palace door and said, "Come in."
When Li Yi walked into the hall, the first thing he smelled was a faint aroma.
The aroma of white fungus and lotus seed soup.
He walked slowly to the bed, bowed and said: "See you..."
"Ahem, no need..." A weak voice came from the bed. Emperor Jing leaned on the bed, looked at him, and asked, "Have you eaten?"
"Not yet." Li Yi shook his head. At this time, it's not time to eat yet.
Emperor Jing turned his head and looked at it, and gestured: "Then let's eat something here..., Changde, help me up."
A bowl of overcooked Tremella Fungus and Lotus Seed Soup and a few simple side dishes, although simple, are very friendly.
In the early years of Jinghe, in the palace of Prince Ning, there were also these side dishes, a bowl of Tremella fungus and lotus seed soup that was a little overcooked.
"I still remember that day you said you had a stubborn disease that prevented you from serving as an official..." The eunuch on the side wanted to pick up a spoon for him. Emperor Jing waved his hand with difficulty, picked up the spoon himself, and said: "At that time
Why didn’t I punish you for the crime of deceiving the emperor..."
Li Yi took a sip of the soup, shook his head, and said with a smile: "Those who don't know are not guilty. What's more, if your Majesty had treated his ministers and deceived the emperor at that time, no one would have saved your Majesty that night..."
"Everything is fate." Emperor Jing nodded and said with a smile, "Pour me some wine!"
Li Yi poured himself a glass of grape wine, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, you forgot, you can't drink."
He took a sip of wine, and Emperor Jing suddenly looked at him and asked, "Aren't you afraid that the wine is poisonous?"
Li Yi shook his head and said: "If your Majesty wants to poison the wine, why wait until today?"
Emperor Jing nodded and said: "Yes, if I want to poison the wine, after you offer the punishment from heaven, after you use the Goulan to spread rumors and force the King of Shu to leave the capital, after you unite the people in the martial arts world, after you
Destroy the Jingguo literary and bone family with a show. When you got rid of the Cui family and when you wanted to support Mingzhu to rise to power, I had already taken action."
Li Yi drank the wine in the cup, shook his head, and said: "It is your Majesty who wants the heavenly punishment, and it is your Majesty who wants the King of Shu to leave the capital. It is your Majesty who wants to destroy the Chu family. He wants to get rid of the Cui family and support the Chu family."
It is Your Majesty who is the jewel, and this culprit will not take the blame."
Emperor Jing looked at him and said slowly: "You did not disappoint me after all."
Li Yi cupped his hand and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust."
Emperor Jing put down his chopsticks, covered his chest, paused for a long time, and then said, "I'm leaving soon."
His tone was calm and his expression was indifferent.
It's like saying something completely ordinary.
It's like saying he's just leaving for a while and will be back soon.
Just like before, he casually asked Li Yi, "Have you eaten?"
Li Yiduo hopes this is the case.
Emperor Jing looked at Li Yi and suddenly asked: "You know everything, can you tell me where people go after they die? Is there really an underworld?"
There was no fear on his face, just curiosity.
"I don't know if there are any underworld ministers." Li Yi shook his head and said, "But sometimes, death... is not the end, but the beginning."
"What's the meaning of this statement?"
"It is possible that when your Majesty wakes up, he will find that he is no longer in the palace, not in Jingguo, but in Qiguo, in Wuguo, or in another world... His Majesty at that time was not what he is now, maybe he was just a
A baby, a naughty boy, a young man..."
Li Yi looked at Emperor Jing and said, "This may seem difficult to understand, but a few years ago, Your Majesty would not have thought that someone could fly into the sky, right?"
Emperor Jing looked at him and asked: "You mean, fly into the sky like those people from the Academy of Sciences?"
Li Yi shook his head and said: "They can only fly more than ten feet, and at most dozens of feet. As I said, people can fly to thousands of feet, ten thousand feet, and even fly to the moon. At that time, from Kyoto to Qi State
, not a few months, just an hour or two..."
"Can a mere mortal fly to the moon?"
"More than that, if the sun wasn't too hot, mortals could even go up to the sun..."
"Your Majesty can imagine that in the distant future, a single "God's Punishment" can level the entire Kyoto to the ground, leaving the Gyeonggi region without a single blade of grass within a hundred years..."
"Your Majesty may not have imagined that there is a kind of "eye of the sky" that allows your Majesty to see what is happening anywhere in Jingguo from the palace..."
"Your Majesty certainly could not have imagined that there would be a day when I would send a message to Your Majesty in the State of Qi. There would be no need for a post station or a messenger. The news would arrive in an instant. If Your Majesty wants to destroy the capital of Qi State, he does not need to raise an army and mobilize a large number of people. He only needs to sit here and recuperate.
Judian, move your finger..."
…
Including Changde, the eunuchs standing on both sides had already opened their mouths. A single heavenly punishment can destroy the entire Kyoto. Mortals can fly to the moon and see the entire Jingguo. Thousands of miles away, the message arrives in an instant——
Is Li Xianhou suffering from hysteria again?
"If someone else tells me this, I will have him sent to the Imperial Medical Office." Emperor Jing looked at him and said, "You are different - I don't believe others, I believe you."
"It's a pity that I won't be able to see this day..." He sighed, with a look of regret on his face, and then said: "Changde, go and ask Xuan'er and Mingzhu to come over."
Changde walked out of the hall, turned around, took out a small wine bottle from the quilt, and said with a smile: "That girl from Shouning understands my feelings best."
He poured himself a glass of wine. Li Yi did not stop him. Emperor Jing took a sip and closed his eyes. After a while, he slowly opened his eyes and said, "After I leave, Mingzhu and Xuan'er will be left to you.
"
Li Xuan and Mingzhu walked in. Emperor Jing stood up slowly, held their hands, looked at Li Yi again, and said with a smile: "I leave this world to you!"
