Luo Ji put on a fearful look and knelt in front of Jin Zhao. "Your Majesty, I am really helpless this time. This poison has already penetrated into your bones. I am afraid only gods can cure it. If your Majesty does not believe me, you can kill me. I have nothing to say."

Jin Zhao looked at the fear on Luo Ji's face. He held his breath in his heart, but this was Ping'er's father, and he couldn't let Ping'er down again.

"Cough cough cough..."

Jin Zhao coughed up a mouthful of black blood again and again, his heart went cold, and he asked: "Is there really no way?"

Luo Ji replied: "I can prescribe some medicine to relieve the pain of Your Majesty. Of course, I will also try my best to delay some time for Your Majesty..."

"I understand. Please go down and prepare the medicine..."

"My minister retire."

Luo Ji bowed and took a few steps back before turning around and leaving.

Jin Zhao's face was as pale as paper, he lay bloodless on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling of the tent, as if he had lost all his life.

His head was groggy and his body was in unbearable pain from the poison. Every breath he took felt like being pierced by thousands of tiny needles, making it impossible for him to fall asleep.

His thoughts gradually drifted away, and he recalled those relatives who had passed away.

Ping'er, that gentle and kind woman, her smile seemed to still be before his eyes, but now she is separated from him by the Yin and Yang.

Yaoer, his son, that smart and clever child, should have had a bright future, but he left the world early.

Guyu, he and Guyu were both master and servant, and they had a deep relationship for more than 20 years, but Guyu died in front of him...

At the end of his life, the person he missed most was Luo Qin.

Ping'er, I regret it, I really regret it, my trusted ally had already poisoned me...

Jin Zhao was extremely resentful towards Cui Xianxian. He remembered the help that the Cui family had given him, and he was willing to sacrifice the person he loved in order to make Cui Xianxian the queen. However, Cui Xianxian was still not satisfied and attacked Luo Qin and her son. "Why are you not satisfied?"

You have taken all the benefits, but you don't even leave Ping'er a way to survive!

He hates it! He regrets it!

Cui Xianxian and Yang Yiyi, these two vicious women, harmed him and Luo Qin. If he had known this, he would have wiped out the Cui family from the beginning and not given Cui Xianxian any chance. In the end, he was too kind, which led to this situation.

Jin Zhao's heart was filled with endless sadness and desolation. Tears slid down the corners of his eyes and soaked the pillow.

He felt that his life was slipping away bit by bit, but he was powerless to do anything. He knew that he had reached the end of his life and only death was waiting for him.

Wang Xie manipulated everyone in the court. Jin Zhao was filled with resentment and unwillingness. He hated his own incompetence, hated himself for not being able to protect the people around him, and hated himself for not being able to fight against Wang Xie's power.

However, at this last moment, Jin Zhao gradually understood some things. Power and wealth were illusions. What he really wanted was only Luo Qin.

He regretted that he had neglected the people around him for the sake of power, but now it was too late to make amends.

Jin Zhao's breathing became weaker and weaker, and his eyes became more and more blurred.

……

Since then, the emperor was seriously ill in bed and the court was completely controlled by Wang Xie. After discussion, everyone decided that the eldest prince should succeed to the throne because he had the right to do so and it would also prevent other princes from leading troops to rebel, plunging the Jin Dynasty into civil strife and allowing the Five Barbarians to take advantage of the situation.

After the eldest prince ascended the throne, he was just a puppet and was controlled all his life. He could never expect to have any real power.
