General Cheng looked at the stupid Ling'er in front of him and felt heartbroken. He had also watched this child grow up. Now a woman can still deal with it calmly in such a difficult situation. It is really commendable for her courage.
"Please take care of the dragon body, your Majesty. You will eventually have to leave. I am also grieving, but the people of Qi State still need your Majesty." General Cheng said to Ling'er. When he received the blood letter,
He resolutely chose to help.
The daughter of the old Qi Emperor is unusual. She once served the old Qi Emperor, and also had contact with Ling'er. When she was not very old, she had already read a lot of poems and books, and behaved appropriately. Later, when she saw the blood book, she was even more sure that this Qi family
The emperor Ling'er is well-deserved, and it doesn't matter if he is a woman, as long as he can be a good emperor.
Ling'er nodded, her voice already hoarse, and said: "Thank you, Uncle Cheng. I understand, you all should step aside." If it weren't for General Cheng, the Qi Kingdom would have really changed its name today.
The old prime minister and General Cheng led a group of ministers and were about to leave when a rich voice came: "Who dares to bully my Xiao family? Don't take me, Xiao Tian, seriously."
Then there was the sound of heavy footsteps, and a seven-foot-tall rugged man walked into the hall. He was burly, with half of his face covered by a black beard. He was wearing armor, with a big knife on his waist, and a pair of fierce eyes.
, showing sharpness, the whole person looks like a victorious general, extremely powerful.
"Uncle." Ling'er raised her head and called in a low voice, then rushed towards the person and hugged him.
The big man hugged Ling'er, softened his posture instantly, and said with a smile: "Ling'er, you girl is back, where have you been this stinky girl this year?" Xiao Da was also worried about Ling'er's disappearance.
I just couldn't find any news about Ling'er.
Ling'er left Xiao Da's arms and cried: "Uncle, why did you come back just now? Brother Huang has already gone."
After hearing this, Xiao Da's smile froze on his face, his eyebrows were furrowed, and his eyes were already rosy. He didn't expect that he would come back too late. He let go of Ling'er as he spoke, and walked quickly to the front of Longtai, looking at the bed as if he was fast asleep.
There was a smile on Qi Chen's lips, but his face was already pale.
Xiao Da shook his head in disbelief and started crying with excitement.
"You kid, how can you let a white-haired uncle give a black-haired uncle to you? Get up."
Ling'er leaned on Mochou's shoulder and cried. Other maids and servants in the palace also sobbed softly. Other ministers were also in grief, and some secretly wiped away their tears.
"Don't cry. There are still many things to deal with in the court. Your Majesty and General Xiao should express their condolences and let the late emperor go in peace." The old prime minister said while holding back his grief. He had watched Qi Chen grow up.
He was also extremely reluctant to give up.
While they were talking, the ministers followed the old prime minister and General Cheng out. As the old prime minister said, a mutiny had just occurred in Qi State, and many things had to be dealt with.
A group of eunuchs and maids came forward to tidy up Qi Chen's appearance and prepare for the funeral. Those who were supposed to go had to leave after all. Ling'er gradually stopped crying and began to deal with the funeral affairs. After all, the people of Qi State needed her, and she was now gone.
He is the king of a country.
The old prime minister, General Cheng and Xiao Da stopped staying any longer. After all, they had a lot to deal with.
After leaving the Qinghua Hall, Xiao Da finally woke up from his grief. He suddenly remembered that Ling'er seemed to be able to speak, and couldn't help but ask the old prime minister: "Where has Ling'er been this year? And her voice is also mute.
Cured."
The old prime minister shook his head and said: "I don't know either. There have been great changes in the palace in the past few days. The emperor has not yet had time to tell me. It will not be too late to ask about this matter some time later."
In short, it is a great thing that Ling'er can speak, otherwise these ministers will all fall to Prince Ning today. After all, no one will let a mute person become the emperor, let alone Ling'er is still a woman. It is really important first
The emperor is blessed by the spirit of heaven.
Xiao Da nodded and didn't ask any more questions, as long as the girl came back.
"General Xiao came back at the right time. It actually took four or five days to get from the border town to Junyang. I really admire it." General Cheng couldn't help but sarcastically said to Xiao Da.
General Cheng and Xiao Da have always been at odds with each other. The two often fought over military rations in the court. The late Emperor Qi Chen had no choice but to find an excuse to let Xiao Da go to guard the border. However, General Cheng couldn't be more angry with Qi's current crisis.
, this Xiao Da is still complaining about coming back so late.
Xiao Da was immediately unhappy after hearing this. He stared at his eyes as big as copper bells and said angrily: "What are you talking about? As soon as I received the secret order and arranged the military affairs, I rushed over overnight. The city is here."
This, of course, took some time."
Qi Chen was his nephew and a member of the Xiao family. This old guy actually suspected that he had selfish motives. He was really angry.
General Cheng didn't show any weakness. He stared back at Xiao Da and said, "Did I make a mistake? You just came back so late and didn't do anything to help me."
Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel again, the old prime minister hurriedly intervened in the middle and stopped him: "I said that you two are not guilty enough. You are making a noise outside this hall. The late emperor has just passed away, and the emperor is very worried at the moment.
Do you still want to cause trouble for him?"
After hearing this, the two of them snorted coldly at each other, stopped arguing, and left the Blue and White Palace with the old prime minister.
In the Blue and White Palace, Ling'er looked at Qi Chen who was lying quietly on the bed, having changed his clothes and tidied up his appearance. He couldn't help but stretched out his hand to touch the pale and bloodless face. His tears could not help falling again, drop by drop.
, dripped on Qi Chen's face and splashed into a beautiful flower.
Pictures of playing with Qi Chen when he was a child appeared in front of his eyes one after another.
"Ling'er, look at the rare thing that my brother got from my father today, a parrot. It can talk. I'll give it to you." Qi Chen handed the parrot to Ling'er.
Looking at the parrot, Ling'er smiled bitterly and shook his head. He looked at Qi Chen and said, "Ling'er can't speak. The parrot needs someone to teach it to speak before it can speak. Isn't it a pity that you gave it to Ling'er?" Ling'er said.
The unintentional words made Qi Chen feel heartbroken.
He suppressed a smile and said: "Oh, that's right. Then brother, just give it back to Father."
Ling'er knew that Qi Chen felt guilty, and always loved her endlessly. If he had any good things, he would immediately think of giving them to her, but there was no need, there was really no need, she didn't hate this brother at all.
Just as the mother said, if the emperor brother does not fight for it, then the three of them, mother and son, will die in the future. This is the law of royal survival, and no one can change it.
Looking at Qi Chen's lonely back, L pulled Qi Chen to look at him. Ling'er couldn't help crying and gestured with his hands: "Brother, it doesn't have to be like this. It really doesn't have to be like this. Ling'er doesn't hate you, nor does he hate his mother.
."
Qi Chen held Xiao Ling'er in his arms distressedly, his voice was hoarse, and said: "Good girl, my brother will protect you for the rest of your life."
That promise kept echoing in Ling'er's mind, but the emperor failed to keep his promise and went anyway, carrying so many years of guilt and regret. But as the emperor said, living is the most important thing to him.
Cruel torture.
Ling'er pulled the quilt and gently covered Qi Chen's beautiful face, saying in her heart: "Brother Emperor, you can go in peace." The brocade quilt embroidered with a flying golden dragon covered Qi Chen's entire body.
"Let's go to the coffin." Ling'er turned around and ordered the eunuch accompanying him.
"Yes, I obey the order." The eunuch bowed and replied. He immediately rolled up Qi Chen in a quilt, carried him up the dragon's roof, and left the inner hall.
