The emperor was holding his waist and abdomen when a dagger was stabbed into him. He suddenly felt no pain, as if the knife was not stabbed into his own body.
Yes, this knife was stabbed into Zhou Qing's body.
Zhou Qing's voice and smile appeared in front of his eyes, and tears blurred his eyes again.
"Brother--" he shouted.
Zhou Qing is a minister, but he is also like an eldest brother. In private, he always calls "brother" against the rules.
Brother, the emperor seemed to see Zhou Qing again, gurgling blood flowed from Zhou Qing's body and dyed his hands red.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Zhou Qing grabbed his hand. Although his face was distorted by the pain, his eyes were still as steady as usual. Just like many times before, when the emperor was frightened and anxious, he comforted the emperor - Your Majesty,
Don't be afraid, all this will pass. As long as your Majesty is determined, we will definitely be able to achieve our wish and see the true unification of the world.
Regardless of whether he was afraid or not, the emperor's tears flowed down. He had to face what he had to face. The phantoms in front of him also disappeared, and his ears were filled with noise again.
The concubines were crying, accompanied by Chen Danzhu's voice: "Your Majesty, give Zhou Xuan an answer so that he can die in peace."
Chen Danzhu, isn't there anything that she doesn't get involved in?
"Mo Lin, bring him here." The emperor said tiredly.
Mo Lin obeyed the order, but he could only do so if Chu Yurong got out of the way. Chu Yurong didn't say anything, took back the knife and put away the foot that was stepping on Zhou Xuan.
Mo Lin brought Zhou Xuan over. Zhou Xuan was seriously injured when he was beaten out by Eunuch Jinzhong, and his leg was almost broken by Chu Yurong with a knife.
Mo Lin pushed him to the ground, and he didn't even look at the emperor.
"At the beginning, your elder brother said that you were full of resentment because of your father's death and asked me not to keep you by my side, let alone join the army. But I guess you are resentful of losing your father. After losing your father, you should be resentful.
"Yes." The emperor looked sad.
Zhou Xuan said nothing and sighed.
The emperor didn't care about his ridicule and continued: "It turns out that your resentment is because you saw what happened that day with your own eyes. Although I think back on your reaction at that time, it was indeed a bit strange, but I didn't think much about it."
Zhou Xuan still didn't speak. He had been dealing with the emperor for so many years and said countless words, just for this moment, he stabbed the dagger out. After the dagger stabbed out, he and the emperor no longer had to say another word.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Chen Danzhu said from the side, "He was present. He was inside before you and Mr. Zhou came in."
She actually knew? Everyone present couldn't help but look at her, and the emperor also looked over.
Unless Zhou Xuan told her such a confidential matter, she would have no other way to know about it - this shows that Chen Danzhu had long known that Zhou Xuan had murderous intentions towards the emperor.
Zhou Xuan roared angrily: "Chen Danzhu—stop using your imagination to frame me!"
Although it is a pity that the emperor did not die, he could be regarded as avenging his father with this knife. He had no worries and his heart was filled with despair. But Chen Danzhu, you are talking too much here. Why are you involved in this kind of thing! With Chu
Yu Rong? No matter how much trouble Chu Yu Rong makes, he is still Chu Yu Rong’s biological father!
This woman is really careless and insists on making him angry.
Chen Danzhu looked at him: "Zhou Xuan, you came here just to take the opportunity to get close to His Majesty, but just now you still didn't get the chance to hit and die with the most powerful blow. It's because you saw that I was threatened, so you took action in advance, right?
?”
Zhou Xuan sneered: "You are so sentimental!"
Chen Danzhu ignored him, looked at the emperor, and said in a tired voice: "Your Majesty already knows why His Highness King Qi did this, and also knows -" Her eyes seemed to be looking at someone, but in the end she didn't look, "This,
Iron-faced General Sixth Prince, why did you do this? Finally, Zhou Xuan, I feel that Your Majesty also wants to know and should know."
Listening to Chen Danzhu talking about it one by one, King Qi, Chu Yurong, Zhou Xuan, plus the fifth prince who died and the half-dead Chu Jinrong, well, he, the emperor, can be regarded as a traitor. He couldn't help but look at Zhou Xuan and murmured
: "You were also there at that time. How painful was your heart? You have endured this pain for so many years. Ah Xuan, you are in so much pain."
On the surface, this child was smiling and making trouble to himself, but in his heart he was filled with hatred, hatred, and pain. How did he get over it after so many years? The emperor couldn't help but exert force on his hand, and the wound was in severe pain, and his tears fell again.
"Your Majesty." Doctor Zhang trembled and grabbed his hand, "Don't touch this dagger."
If you push it in with more force, it will be really dangerous.
"This dagger." The emperor lay in the arms of eunuch Jinzhong and looked up slightly, "Jinzhong, look, is it the same one from back then? I remember that Ah Xuan asked me for that dagger later -"
Eunuch Jinzhong shed tears and supported him: "Yes, your Majesty, this is it." After saying that, he turned to look at Zhou Xuan, his expression was sad and painful, "Axuan, you are confused, it is not like this, at that time -"
The emperor raised his hand to stop him: "I will speak." He held the dagger on his waist and abdomen, "I want to speak for myself."
Eunuch Jinzhong shed tears and stopped talking, staring nervously at the emperor's hand, lest he really push the dagger into his body.
"Since you are here, there is no need to elaborate on what happened before. The eunuch who was bribed came for me, and my brother blocked it for me."
"I supported my brother and wanted to call the imperial doctor, but he held my hand and said that he had thought of a reason to accuse the princes and kings."
The emperor's voice trembled, and the address was confusing.
"At that time, because the princes and kings took Gaozu's will and most of the ministers in the court were bribed by the princes and kings, they forced me to withdraw the order of grace. I was restless and lost my temper with my brother, blaming him for not being able to find the right reason.
method."
"But at this time, how could I still think about this? I scolded him not to think about it, and wanted to help him lie down, but he refused, and held the dagger on his body, and he said -"
When he said this, the emperor showed pain on his face.
"He said that the princes and kings assassinated your majesty, and Zhou Qing died while escorting him. The witnesses and physical evidence, as well as his body, were clearly placed in front of the world. Let's see who can stop the emperor from questioning the princes and kings."
"I was stunned and knew what he meant. I grabbed his hand and firmly refused to allow it."
"But brother looked at me, smiled at me, and said that he didn't want to wait any longer. He couldn't wait to see the emperor conquer the princes and kings, see the princes and kings bow their heads and confess their crimes, and see the princes' kingdoms disappear and the world be unified."
"I held his hand, and his hand was very strong. I could feel the dagger being pressed hard--"
Hearing this, Zhou Xuan yelled and got up from the ground, "You are talking nonsense! You are lying! It was you who did it! It was you who pushed the dagger in! Not my father himself! You are still there now."
Excuse yourself!"
His voice echoed in the hall, heartbreaking.
The emperor looked at him and smiled sadly: "Yes, I am excusing myself by saying this. No matter who pushed the dagger in, brother died because of me. If I hadn't forced him to find a way, or I-"
He looked at his hands.
"I grabbed the dagger and held it tightly -"
Zhou Qing will not die.
Zhou Qing will still be by his side at this moment.
When he lost the moment, he realized what it meant that there was no such person in the world anymore. He woke up countless times at night with splitting headaches, and prayed to God countless times. He would rather the princes and kings were arrogant for another ten or twenty years, and would rather the world be unified later.
Ten or twenty years, as long as Zhou Qing is still there.
"You're lying! You're talking nonsense! That's not the case at all! You coward! You're still blaming others for your fault!"
Zhou Xuan was still yelling crazily and wanted to rush towards the emperor, but Mo Lin stopped him and pushed him back to the ground.
The hall became chaotic again.
Chen Danzhu had mixed feelings after hearing this. He raised his eyes and blurted out, "Your Majesty——"
The emperor held the dagger and pressed it hard on his waist and abdomen.
The shouts of Eunuch Jinzhong and Doctor Zhang also rang out.
