Wishing You Eternal Happiness

The emperor slowly opened his eyes.

"Li Yuangui, where is the Zhen family?"

After a moment, he murmured.

"Long live the emperor grandson's companion before the sick bed, and refused to leave. Tai Fu took the Zhen family into the palace, and asked her to take care of her in the past few days."

"Go and call Zhen Shi."

The emperor said.

...

Jiafu entered the palace and had been with Ci'er for several days.

During this day, Ci'er had been guarding her grandfather’s sickbed, and she refused to leave for half a step. She was brought back by Jiafu at night. At this moment, she finally fell asleep. In her sleep, one hand still caught Jiafu’s. Hold your hand.

In the past three years, Jiafu dreamed that he could hug his son and accompany him to sleep again. Now he finally got his wish, but he didn’t expect how to fall asleep in such a situation, holding his son’s finger that hooked him. Soft hands, staring at his sleeping face, until late at night, vaguely, half asleep and half awake, suddenly heard Cui Yinshui's soft call from outside the tent, immediately woke up, gently turned over to bed, and came to the outside room. The emperor just woke up, suddenly summoned himself, changed his clothes, and hurriedly went to Chengguang Hall, entered, and saw that he had fallen asleep for many days, but the emperor who woke up only briefly in the middle got up in his clothes, sitting on the couch at this moment, Although he was sick and thin, his eyes were extremely clear, and his spirit was exceptionally good, as if he had already recovered from a serious illness.

An ominous omen flashed across Jiafu's heart, stepped forward, knelt down in front of the couch, bowed her respects as a courtier's wife. After a while, I heard a voice from above saying: "Clan Zhen, you are the same as You'an. You still don't want to call me Father Father?"

Gaffer was slightly startled and raised her head to see the emperor looking at him.

Jiafu's heart was in chaos, and when he hesitated, the emperor suddenly smiled, and his smile seemed to be a little self-deprecating: "Get up. Forget it, I also know that this throne is not what everyone wants in the world. Because For this reason, you and Ci'er were born mother and son, but you can't meet with mother and son. If you don't hate me, I am already pleased..."

The emperor coughed suddenly, and Li Yuangui hurriedly stepped forward and patted the back.

The emperor gradually stopped his cough, but his breathing was abnormal.

Gaffer got up from the ground, took a cup of warm concoction nearby, and sent it up.

The emperor shook his head, pushed away the medicine, and when his panting subsided, he looked forward for a moment in a trance.

"Zhen, I asked you to come, and nothing else, just a moment ago, I had a dream, I dreamed of some teenage past... I just want to find someone to talk..."

"I sit on the world, rich in the world, and now I am dying, and I can't find a person who can talk. I just remembered the clothes you presented for me on the occasion of my fiftieth birthday. Even though I haven't seen the clothes once, but you I am very grateful for your kindness..."

"Long live if you have anything to say, but please tell me."

Gaffer suppressed the sadness in her heart and whispered.

"Zhen, do you know why I insist on making Ci'er the emperor?"

After a while, the emperor asked suddenly.

Gaffer stared at the emperor on the sick couch.

"When I was young, I made mistakes, and I would never love what I loved. After making a big mistake, it is difficult to make up. No matter how Youan regards it, in my opinion, this throne is the greatest compensation I can give."

"I was born in the royal family. In this life, I have experienced siblings, father and son force, and clan disagreements. I know that he is ashamed of his life experience, but he has royal blood on him. There is no doubt that this is even more sinful. source."

"Unfortunately, I was born in this way as the son of Xiao Lie, but in this life and this world, he will only reach the top all the way."

"I can't help many people in my life. With such an arrangement, I dare not make any assertions about the future fortunes and disasters."

"There are rarely two things in the world. Once you were born into the royal family, you are called Liuhe Bafang, crawling under your feet!"

"Slaying people with a deer knife, not waiting to be slaughtered on an anvil!"

"In my opinion, this is a long-term plan!"

The emperor finished speaking without stopping, breathing again, the whole person seemed to lose all energy, his shoulders suddenly collapsed, and he fell backwards, being supported by Li Yuangui, let him lie down slowly.

"All I want to say is here. Go back too, take good care of Ci'er--"

After a long while, the emperor closed his eyes and whispered.

Gaffer slowly knelt down, kowtowed, got up and exited, stepped out of the temple threshold, walked a few steps, turned to look at the deep outline of the temple behind him by the night, tears were already streaming.

...

Even though it was the Shangyuan Festival, due to the emperor’s illness, there were still cabinet ministers in the East Pavilion.

In addition to Pei Youan, Zhang Shiyong and Lu Xiang are also on duty tonight. The two whispered about the emperor's condition.

"Long live auspicious people and heaven, this time we will be able to turn bad luck into good luck..."

"Master Pei, you are also proficient in medicine, do you have a way? Master Pei?"

The two did not hear Pei Youan's response, turned their heads, and saw his figure walking out of the East Pavilion and disappearing outside the door.

Pei Youan came out of the East Pavilion and stopped in the dark.

A high palace wall separates the outside and inside of the wall into two worlds. Outside the wall, Yuan lights, fire trees and silver flowers, deep palace and heavy gardens inside the wall, shadows piled upon each other. A few palace lanterns flickered in the night breeze, and a dangling dim light and shadow cast on the ground, adding a bit of loneliness and loneliness.

Pei Youan raised his head slightly and stared at the gorgeous night sky outside the palace wall in the distance. After a while, he walked forward and finally stopped in front of the closed palace gate outside Chengguang Hall.

He stood outside the door for a long time, but finally turned around and left slowly.

When Jia Fu came back, Ci Er still fell asleep in deep sleep. He was lying on the side of the bed, thinking about what happened when the emperor had just summoned him.

She knew in her heart that this was the last scene.

Perhaps the emperor originally wanted to tell Pei Youan to hear those words, or perhaps it was really as he said, just wanting to find someone and say a few words.

She closed her eyes, meditated for a moment, and finally got up, opened the door and was about to call Cui Yinshui, asking him to go to the East Pavilion to invite Pei Youan, but she saw a figure standing right under His Majesty Jie.

The bright moon of Shangyuan Ye hung high in the blue sky, the figure of the person was faint, and his face was like a moon flower.

Pei Youan is here.

Gaffer greeted him quickly, took his cool hand, and led him in.

Pei Youan sat on the bed and looked at Ci'er who was sleeping. After a while, he gently got up and walked out. Jiafu followed out and drove her to the door. He hugged her and smiled and said: "Just now I missed you a little bit. I came here. I should go back to the East Pavilion. You can go to sleep again."

Gaffer hugged his waist and looked up at him: "Big cousin, Long live just now called me over and said a few words..."

Gaffer repeated it again, and finally said: "Long live did not tell me to turn to you, but I think he still wants you to know in his heart."

Pei Youan was silent for a moment, kissed her, and whispered: "I should go now, you go to sleep again."

...

"A Jing... I've been a **** in my life..."

"I let my grandson be the emperor. I don't know if it suits your liking. If you don't like it, when you see me, you can just scold me..."

"A Jing, if time is the same, I will go to propose marriage to the emperor and marry you as my wife..."

Xiao Lie muttered to himself, the palm holding the jade pendant tightened and tightened, his gaze fell in the darkness beyond the candlelight on the top of the temple, his gaze seemed to penetrate out. , Looking at that far and boundless place of emptiness.

"call out--"

A burning pyrotechnic beam broke through the air from the direction of the lamp market and rushed into the air, bursting out a huge splendid firework, almost illuminating most of the night sky east of the imperial city.

The fireworks gradually extinguished and dissipated into the night.

"The imperial doctor—the imperial doctor—rescue the driver—"

A sudden scream broke the dead silence of the palace.

Physician Hu and his party were waiting outside the Temple of Chengguang and hurried inside after hearing the sound.

When Zhang Shiyong and Lu Xiang were urgently summoned to Chengguang Hall from the East Pavilion, they saw a figure standing outside the hall.

The figure of the man was straight and lonely, standing there, motionless, it was the emperor's grandson and Taifu Pei Youan.

Soon, He Gongpu, Liu Jiushao and other ministers received the call and rushed to the outside of the palace.

"Xuan Pei Youan, Zhang Shiyong, Liu Jiushao saw..." The palace man hurried out, dragging his tone, and proclaiming the imperial decree.

Zhang and Liu followed Pei Youan into the interior, and saw that on the dragon bed deep in the inner hall, the emperor was lying on his back, as if he could no longer speak, his eyes were half-open and half-closed, as if sleeping but not sleeping. , Li Yuangui held the imperial decree in his hand, standing at the end of the bed, with a sorrowful expression on his face.

"Pei Youan, Zhang Shiyong, and Liu Jiushao listen to the decree--"

Li Yuangui stepped forward and preached.

Zhang Liu immediately followed Pei Youan to kneel and fell face down.

The emperor knows himself that he is dead. After the Dao has gone, he will be succeeded by the emperor's grandson. All funeral sacrifices are appropriate. The days are used to replace the moon. All the subjects of the world can be released on the 27th. There is no limit to marrying and leaving the harem. Concubine, free of burial, and proper care. Before the young emperor took office, he took Pei Youan as the minister of life and took charge of domestic and foreign affairs.

Zhang and Liu burst into tears, and after Pei Youan, they kowtowed to accept.

The emperor on the dragon bed was still lying with his eyes closed, motionless.

"Three adults, the holy intent is here, after receiving the decree, step back!"

Both Zhang and Liu held the imperial decree in both hands, weeping, and bowed back.

Pei Youan also got up from the ground, his feet were unusually dignified, and slowly retreated to the entrance of the hall, he stopped, and slowly turned his head.

Xiao Lie on the dragon bed did not know when he had opened his eyes and turned his face outward.

The palace candle flickered, and the emperor's two eyes fell on his back, his eyes fixed and motionless.

Pei Youan's figure condensed for a moment, then suddenly turned around and quickly walked back to the front of the dragon bed.

Under the gaze of both Zhang and Liu behind him, he knelt towards Xiao Lie again, upright, and gave a salute to the chief.

His forehead slammed, and he fell down like this, and his figure remained motionless for a long time.

At that moment, the emperor's eyes revealed a sense of relief that had never been seen for a long time.

He fixedly stared at the kneeling figure in front of the bed, with a faint smile on his lips, took a long breath, and slowly closed his eyes.
