"I gave a copy of the same edict to Da Sikong a long time ago."
"If one day, Kang'er is not qualified to be the emperor of Western Chu, you two can hold the edict at the same time to depose him and support the person mentioned in my edict to take the throne."
Duanmulang looked at Lin Chu solemnly, and finally glanced at Lin Zhi, his eyes complex and heavy.
“The two edicts complement each other and neither one can exist without the other.”
He took a deep breath: "This method is the only way I can think of so far to control Bailiyuan."
Lin Chu was once again impressed by Duanmulang's thoughts and strategies.
He had already foreseen today's disaster and quietly prepared for it.
He first arranged for Lin Zhi to form the Zongzheng Mansion to contain Bailiyuan. When Bailiyuan focused all his energy on Lin Zhi, he secretly gave the imperial edict of passing the throne to Grand Sikong Yuzifu.
Then, he arranged for himself to receive the same imperial edict that complemented each other. This prevented Yu Zifu, who was in charge of the imperial edict, from coercing the emperor to order the princes.
This person is a talent!
It's a pity...it's a pity...
"Xiao Chu, when you see Yan'er after leaving the palace, say sorry to her for me. I was timid and... too selfish at that time, and I didn't dare..."
He took a deep breath: "I will pay back everything I owe her."
Lin Chu looked up in astonishment, why did Duan Mulang suddenly say such nonsense to her?
When he was about to ask in detail, his eyes were already looking at Baili Mingshuang again.
"Mingshuang."
Duanmulang suddenly coughed, but his hands tightly grasped Baili Mingshuang's bare hands, refusing to relax for a moment.
"Promise me that you will live well and live well with our Kang'er!"
"After I go, protect the mountains and rivers of Western Chu for me."
"I will wait for you on the road to hell, and wait until you enter reincarnation together in a hundred years."
He took a deep breath: "I hope that in the next life, I will not be an emperor... you will not be a queen. I will just be an ordinary... ordinary couple. I promise you..."
His eyes glowed with a strange light: "I wish you a happy life."
His voice gradually deepened and was eventually replaced by a cough.
Just when Baili Mingshuang was about to speak, he suddenly let go of his hand and strode out of the hall without looking back.
Baili Mingshuang clenched her fingers into fists, and the sharp nails pricked her palms into bloody flesh, but she didn't say a word.
Lin Chu looked moved. Duanmulang clearly knew that his end was coming, so he decided to leave Baili Mingshuang.
The emperor has the pride of an emperor, and he will never allow himself to fall into the eyes of the woman he loves, looking like he died tragically due to poisonous hair.
How could Baili Mingshuang not understand his thoughts?
She let the tears flow freely, but did not make a sound to hold them back. With a pair of tearful eyes, she silently stared in the direction Duan Mulang left, motionless.
"You hide the imperial edict and leave quickly."
Lin Zhi looked at Lin Chu: "When the death knell rings later, I will never be able to leave again."
"What about you?" Lin Chu frowned: "I'm here today to take you and dad out of the palace."
"You go ahead."
Lin Zhi's voice was low and urgent: "When everything is settled, I will leave the palace and join you. Right now, the most important thing is to escort the imperial edict out of the palace safely."
After a pause, he spoke again: "I will find an opportunity to let my father leave the palace first, don't worry."
"good."
Lin Chu lowered his eyes: "You...be careful in everything."
Lin Zhi carried Duanmulang further and further away.
Duanmulang was seriously ill and his whole body was hanging on Lin Zhi's body. He could barely walk without relying on Lin Zhi's strength.
However, Miss Lin, who was rumored to be cold and indifferent, did not dislike her at all. She took good care of Duan Mulang carefully and properly.
The back figures of the two people were so harmonious that Lin Chu couldn't help but take a second look.
Intuitively, something seems not quite right about their state, but...it's hard to tell.
