"Cough cough..." Gao Huanyang was interrupted by a cough as soon as his words came to his mouth. His face turned pale as paper, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

Seeing this, the queen hurriedly reached out to support him and gently patted his back, trying to help him relieve the pain.

After a long while, Gao Huanyang finally caught his breath. His eyes were a little blurry, as if he would faint at any time.

The queen held his hand tightly, her eyes full of worry.

Gao Huanyang took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, then slowly opened his eyes and looked at Gao Yin in front of him.

His eyes trembled slightly, and his voice was low and hoarse: "I have long wanted to make you the crown prince, but let's not talk about how the Qin family will react. Just talking about your current temperament, can you really withstand the pressure?"

His tone was full of helplessness and regret.

Gao Yin's eyes flashed with determination. He nodded vigorously and whispered, "I understand. I will definitely work hard to change myself."

His expression was serious and solemn, and he seemed to have made up his mind.

Gao Huanyang smiled slightly, with a look of relief in his eyes.

He gently stroked Gao Yin's hair and said softly, "After today, if you can become more resilient, it will not be too late. After all, your grandfather, mother, and cousin are all here, and no one can predict what will happen in the future."

Gao Yin knelt heavily on the ground, kowtowed respectfully, and said, "Thank you for your teachings, father. I will definitely remember it in my heart."

His voice was firm and powerful, and after this escape, he seemed like a completely different person.

Gao Huanyang's gaze slowly swept across the queen and the father-in-law, and finally stopped on Tian Yong.

There was a strange and complex light in his eyes, which seemed to contain endless helplessness, deep reliance and unspeakable sadness.

"Tian Yong, today I entrust Yin'er to you."

As if the last bit of strength in his life was aroused, Gao Huanyang actually struggled to stand up and got out of bed step by step with difficulty.

Seeing this, the people around fell to their knees and kowtowed in panic.

However, Gao Huanyang's eyes never left Tian Yong. He reminded him again in a low and firm voice: "You know the Qin family's style of doing things very well. You should know that no matter what choice you make, they will never let you go."

Tian Yong bowed his head and responded softly: "Your Majesty, rest assured, I know what to do."

Although the emperor in front of him was about to die, Tian Yong, who had known him many years ago, knew his character and personality very well. Even at this last moment, he would never dare to show the slightest disrespect to him.

Gao Huanyang continued to walk towards Tian Yong, put his hand heavily on his shoulder and slowly explained: "Although you have been running Youzhou for many years, the Qin family has a group of assassins under their command. You must be careful and don't be careless.

Although the Mu family in Yangzhou has violated the rules, I believe that Mu Lie and his two children have no intention of rebellion.

You, the Queen, and Yin'er are all one family, so I am naturally relieved. Remember, defend Youzhou and wait for changes in the world. You lead the army to attack the capital directly. Before that, don't blindly go south!"

"Your Majesty, I will remember this!" Tian Yong replied firmly, without ever looking up.

"Well, you are still a person who can be trusted," Gao Huanyang's voice became weaker. He slowly moved to the bed, looked at Gao Yin, and said with his last bit of strength, "Yin'er, from today on, you are the sixth emperor of Daxia!"

After saying these words, Gao Huanyang suddenly felt a strong sense of dizziness. His body lost all strength and he fell straight onto the bed without any support.

His eyes were tightly closed, and he no longer breathed or had any air, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep from which he would never wake up.

The room was suddenly filled with great sorrow, and everyone started crying sadly.

The whole room was filled with endless sadness and pain, and people could not accept this sudden bad news.

At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard outside, and an eunuch ran in breathlessly and announced to everyone: "His Majesty has passed away!"

This news was like a bombshell, shocking everyone.

The fifth emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom, Emperor Yuan of Xia, died of illness in Tian Mansion in Youzhou at the age of 41.

Before his death, Emperor Xia Yuan left a will, passing the throne to his eldest son Gao Yin.

This is the news from Youzhou.

However, for the Gao family, who had already supported Gao Shaoren as the new emperor, they naturally would not easily acknowledge this result.

They quickly announced to the public that Emperor Xia Yuan's death was not normal, but was the result of a conspiracy between the empress, the Minister of Rites Jia Yi, and the Youzhou governor Tian Yong.

At the same time, they also accused Gao Yin of forging an imperial edict and killing his father to succeed to the throne.

Although the incident was somewhat unexpected, it had little impact on the situation in the Great Xia Kingdom.

Whether for the Qin family or for Xia Qin, the special existence of Youzhou has the same meaning.

When Mo Ye and Xia Qin heard the news from Xia Xiao, they were planning long-term deployment in the Yangzhou government office.

"Dead?" Xia Qin blurted out, "But with his body, it's only a matter of a day earlier or later. Don't mention it, your elixir is really effective. The emperor recovered for three months, and then fell ill again."

Mo Ye was amused by Xia Qin's words: "You said that as if the emperor's death had something to do with me. Let me tell you, the emperor had been given a chronic poison by the Qin family a long time ago, and my poison was just a relief."

Xia Qin said with disgust: "Why are the Qin family everywhere? Why are they trying to murder the emperor?"

"It's true that the emperor is tyrannical and lustful, but he is not a fool, otherwise he would not have been favored by the late emperor. He and Lanling King were rivals. Unfortunately, the worst move he made was to rely too much on the Qin family. By the time he wanted to support other forces in the court, it was too late."

Politics is really complicated, especially for girls. Although Xia Qin has been living on the edge of a knife for many years, she is still not interested in this.

"That……"

"Mr. Mu Shi, something bad has happened!" A military general suddenly came to the door and was stopped by Xia Xiao.

Xia Qin saw that it seemed to be Wei Jun, a trusted general under her brother, so she quickly waved her hand to let Xia Xiao pass.

"Captain of the Imperial Guard? Is it about the emperor's death? We already know about that."

"No!" The guard said breathlessly, "Something happened in Jingzhou. Wang Chenggu was meeting with his former generals in the Jingzhou army when they were suddenly attacked by an unknown army. The Jingzhou army was completely passive and could not escape all the way from Nanjun to Hengyang County. They were discovered by General Mu and rescued in time."

"Wang Chenggu?" Mo Ye stood up in surprise, "Wang Chenggu is in trouble?"

"It's not just him. An estimated one-third of the 20,000 Jingzhou troops were killed or wounded, and the four northern counties of Jingzhou were also lost." The Wei army's words were filled with disappointment.

Xia Qin didn't expect this to happen. Now she is more concerned about Wang Chenggu's condition: "How is Wang Chenggu? Is he okay?"
