The most romantic little emperor

Three days passed in a flash, the hunting meeting ended successfully, and the group returned to the palace.

The situation in the court has almost been completely controlled by the Xiao family.

From the four major camps to the generals of the Imperial Guard, who would oppose Empress Xiao's rule?

There may be some people who are dissatisfied, but they are just some small characters with no strength and cannot make any waves.

Considering that the Liao Dynasty would be more stable for a long time to come, Empress Xiao finally put her mind at ease.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a eunuch suddenly came to report, "Your Majesty, His Majesty is critically ill and may not have much time left."

Upon hearing this, Empress Xiao's eyes flashed with displeasure, and then she came to Emperor Zuo of Liao's bedroom, where several concubines and palace maids were busy working on him.

Except for that day, she never saw Emperor Liao Zuo again. When they met again, Emperor Liao Zuo had been tortured day and night by those women to the point that he was unrecognizable and didn't even have the energy to curse.

Looking at the once high and mighty king being manipulated into this state by her, Empress Xiao felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment.

"I... I want to see those princes..." Emperor Liao Zuo's eyes were slightly closed, and his breathing was very weak. If you didn't listen carefully, you couldn't hear what he was saying.

As he was speaking, he fainted again.

Empress Xiao waved away these women and ignored him, then called the imperial physician to see him.

The imperial physicians had been bribed, and after a while of busy work, one of the veteran physicians knelt on the ground and said, "Empress, I dare to say that it is time for Your Majesty to issue a will!"

Empress Xiao's face changed color slightly, and then she drooled and cried, "Your Majesty was talking to me just now, and he looks much better!"

The old imperial physician said, "Hasn't the Queen heard of 'last breath'? If a person who has been ill for a long time and is weak suddenly regains consciousness without any medicine, it is a sign of dying!"

……

After Yelu Lingxiao returned to Beijing, he was busy with court affairs. When he was suddenly summoned by Empress Xiao, he hurried over.

Xiao Fengxian was in charge of four battalions of troops and arrived a little late.

At this moment, outside Emperor Zuo of Liao's bedroom, Empress Xiao was waiting for him to die, and then she could summon the princes and ministers to "see the emperor".

Seeing the two of them, Empress Xiao's nervous mood finally relaxed. This had been her temperament for a long time, and she didn't want to have any psychological burden.

So, she tried hard to convince herself to let go of the past and make herself feel more relaxed.

Besides, it was Emperor Liao Zuo who wronged her first, so it was only natural for her to do so. She didn't think she had done anything wrong.

Later, Empress Xiao turned around and saw Consort Xiao standing silently by the side. She quickly said, "Go and bring the Sixth Prince here."

Empress Xiao waited until the Sixth Prince Yelu Ning came, and then asked Concubine Xiao to carry her all the way to the Emperor's bedroom.

Yelu Ning seemed to like Empress Xiao very much. When he saw her, he shouted, "Mother, give me a hug."

Empress Xiao advised kindly, "Mother didn't sleep well and doesn't have enough strength. Let Concubine Xiao hold you and I will take you to see Father."

In fact, she really liked children and found them annoying, and she disliked doing such laborious tasks as holding a child. This was one of the reasons why she tried every means to avoid consummating her marriage with Emperor Zuo of Liao.

The three of them entered the bedroom, and Empress Dowager Xiao asked a woman, "How is His Majesty?"

The woman replied, "I just woke up, nothing serious is happening for now."

Empress Xiao stepped forward and called softly, "Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince is here."

Emperor Zuo of Liao slowly opened his eyes and looked at his youngest son, his expression becoming even uglier.

Seeing that he looked like a ghost, Yelu Ning was very scared. Instead, he turned around and hugged Xiao Shanggong's neck to try to avoid him.

Emperor Zuo of Liao felt cold in his heart, thinking that his son had been extremely dissolute over the years. Not only did he not manage the harem well, he also rarely spent time with his own son.

Therefore, it is normal that Yelu Ning is not very close to him.

Originally, he wanted to pass the throne to other princes, but he was helpless in the current situation and had to place his hopes on the child in front of him who was less than four years old.

At this moment, Emperor Liao Zuo looked at Yelu Ning with a particularly different look, as if he saw the continuation of his own life. He wanted to say something to the child, but he didn't know what to say, and he didn't have the strength to say it.

Empress Xiao seemed to know what Emperor Liaozuo was thinking and said calmly, "Your Majesty, do you want to see the princes and ministers?"

"For the sake of your majesty's safety, please forgive me for not being able to obey your order. However, since you want to see the prince, I cannot be mean. So, I have brought your favorite Sixth Prince with me."

"I did this not because I forgive you, but because I've let it go a long time ago."

Emperor Liaozuo said with difficulty: "Let... Yelu Ning succeed to the throne!"

Empress Xiao got the result she wanted, and she was secretly delighted. She happily agreed, "Your Majesty's will is obeyed."

Emperor Liao Zuo nodded. Although he was unwilling, he lacked the strength and slowly closed his eyes.

Seeing this, Empress Xiao said, "Shang Gong Xiao, take Ning'er and stay here with him for a while."

After saying that, she turned around without looking back and left this disgusting bedroom.

When she walked out of the room, she saw the bright sunshine. Empress Xiao felt like she was reborn. After taking a few breaths of fresh air, the cold and affectionate expression on her face gradually calmed down.

No matter how bumpy and tortuous the road was before, the current result is relatively satisfactory.

She didn't feel sad or guilty at all about this.

At noon, the Privy Council, civil officials, military generals, princes and nobles all received the Queen's imperial decree, ordering them to enter the palace immediately to meet the Emperor.

When the old eunuch led everyone straight to the bedroom of Emperor Zuo of Liao, Empress Xiao was kneeling in front of the bed and crying, holding Yelu Ning's hand.

The imperial doctors and palace maids inside and outside the bedroom also knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.

The old eunuch beside him knelt on the ground and said, "His Majesty issued a will this morning, passing the throne to the Sixth Prince, Yelu Ning."

"The Queen quickly sent for the princes and ministers, but she was still a step too late."

Suddenly, everyone in the room burst into tears.
