Deep in the palace, many guards were guarding outside a palace, with stern faces and tall bodies, filled with a vague sense of solemnity, as if they were walking out of a pile of dead people.
At this moment, only three figures were seen descending from the sky, it was Qi Yuan, Qi Wen and Jing Xiu.
"I have met the prince." All the guards bowed to Qi Yuan together, with respectful expressions on their faces.
"You stay here." Qi Yuan looked at Qi Wen and Jing Xiudao, then walked towards the palace in front.
Looking at Qi Yuan's figure, the guards showed a deep meaning in their eyes. This may be the last time the prince comes here.
In the palace, Qi Yuan looked forward. A curtain hung there, and a slightly rickety figure was projected on it. He didn't know where he was.
"Here we come." An old voice came from behind the curtain, breaking the quiet space.
"Thank you very much, Father." Qi Yuan said. It turned out that the figure on the curtain was the current emperor of the Qi Dynasty.
"You were born with a rough life, so this is compensation for you, and I don't have the heart to care about what happens next." The emperor spoke slowly, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.
If the emperor's words were spread, it would definitely cause a huge sensation.
The world only knew that the prince was seriously ill, but very few people knew that the emperor had injured his heart during a practice practice and had been recuperating in this palace and no longer interfered with external affairs.
Even in the palace, there are very few people who know about this matter. They are all the top figures in the royal family. Even Qi Xian and Qi Min don't know much about it. They only know that the emperor is practicing here, but they don't know that he is seriously injured.
"Before I die, I will send Wen'er out of the palace and let him practice beside his master." Qi Yuan said again.
"That junior named Xiao Muyang?" the emperor asked.
"yes."
"Do you really trust him that much?"
"Since I have chosen him, I naturally have absolute trust in him. The future structure of Daqi will be decided by him." Qi Yuan's voice was not loud, but he revealed a strong confidence.
The space fell silent.
After a long time, the emperor finally said: "They won't show mercy. It's better to let him hide in the mountains. At least one life can be saved."
"I have made up my mind. Father, there is no need to persuade me anymore." Qi Yuan shook his head. He knew that this was a big gamble and the possibility of losing was high, but he believed that Xiao Muyang's potential would definitely change the future of the Qi Dynasty.
"Follow your plan and leave everything to God's will." The Emperor sighed. No matter what the final outcome was, they had no chance to know.
"Father, this is my farewell." Qi Yuan bowed towards the curtain, with a sad look on his ancient and smooth face.
"Go." A vicissitudes of voice came.
Qi Yuan said nothing more, turned around and walked outside the palace.
Outside the palace, Qi Wen was waiting anxiously. He knew that his father was going to say goodbye to Grandpa Huang, and he didn't know what they would say.
"Come out." Jing Xiu said, Qi Wen's eyes suddenly condensed, and then he saw Qi Yuan slowly walking out of the palace, with no trace of emotion on his face.
Qi Yuan came to the two of them and said, "Go back."
"Yes." Jing Xiu replied softly, and then the breath enveloped the bodies of Qi Yuan and Qi Wen, and the three of them rose into the sky together and left this space.
Not long after, the three of them returned to the manor of the Taishi Palace. Qi Yuan was lying on the Taishi chair, his face turned pale again, and the vitality in his body was constantly weakening.
"Jing Xiu listens to the order." Qi Yuan looked at Jing Xiu and said.
Jing Xiu's heart trembled slightly, and when he saw the serious look on Qi Yuan's face, he understood that he was about to explain his funeral arrangements.
Qi Wen next to him clenched his fists, his eyes turned red, and he looked at Qi Yuan with great reluctance. He knew that his father was going to send him away.
"Your Highness, please give me your instructions." Jing Xiu bowed and said.
"Send the grandson out of the palace later and go to Yunxiao City. From now on, you have only two tasks. One is to protect the grandson, and the other is to obey Xiao Muyang. If anything happens to one of them, you will commit suicide and apologize." Qi Yuan said in a tone of voice.
Reveal the meaning of majesty.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will protect them with my life." There was a firm look in Jing Xiu's eyes. His life was saved by the prince. No matter what order the prince gave, he would complete it without hesitation, even if it cost him his own life.
life.
Qi Yuan nodded slightly, looked at Qi Wen again, and said with an apologetic tone: "Wen'er, my father is incompetent, so I can only accompany you until this point. You can only walk the road ahead on your own."
"In the child's mind, the father is the most powerful person in the world. The child will definitely live a good life and will never let down the father's expectations!" Qi Wen said with red eyes, his slightly immature face had a look that was different from his peers.
Human perseverance.
At this moment, he seemed to have grown up.
"Listen carefully to your master's teachings. One day, he will be the strongest person in this world." Qi Yuan said and looked up at the sky, with a hint of expectation in his eyes. He believed that he would not see the wrong person.
.
"My child knows." Qi Wen nodded seriously.
Qi Yuan looked at Qi Wen with loving eyes. After a long time, he slowly closed his eyes and said, "Let's go."
"I want to leave in a few days," Qi Wen pleaded.
"Take him away." Qi Yuan spoke again, naturally speaking to Jing Xiu.
As soon as the voice fell, Jing Xiu slapped Qi Wen on the back, causing Qi Wen to close his eyes and fall into a coma.
Jing Xiu looked at Qi Yuan deeply, as if he wanted to imprint his face in his mind. After a while, he finally said: "Have a good journey, Your Highness, and I will serve you again in the next life!"
"Go." Qi Yuan replied calmly, his eyes still closed.
Jing Xiu said nothing more, hugged Qi Wen's body and fled into the void, disappearing into the manor.
After they left, Qi Yuan opened his eyes. There were a few crystal tears in the corners of his eyes. He looked at the place where Qi Wen was standing a little absent-mindedly. His heart was twisted like a knife, and he was in so much pain that he couldn't breathe.
...
Five days later, Prince Qi Yuan passed away in the crown prince's womb.
Countless people were shocked in their hearts. Although they had known for a long time that the prince's time was short, they did not expect that this day would come so quickly, which really caught them off guard.
For a time, there was an undercurrent in the palace.
At this moment, many figures appeared outside the palace where the emperor practiced. Standing at the front was a young man in his thirties. He had deep eyes and a high nose, exuding a mature temperament. He was the third prince.
Qi Kai.
Behind Qi Kai were Qi Xian, Qi Min and other princes and princesses. Except for the second prince, all the princes and princesses were here.
"The prince unfortunately passed away, please appoint the next prince!" Qi Kai looked at the palace in front and said loudly, his voice resounding throughout the vast space!
