The person who can make the old emperor wake up again doesn't have to think twice, then it is obvious who was the mastermind of the prison incident last night.

Although the heart is full of anger, hatred is endless.But on the surface, it can't show the slightest bit.Li Chenqi could only swallow all his emotions, and walked to the dragon couch.

First, he saluted the old emperor, and then asked Li Chenxiang, "What's the matter, father?"

"Father made a will, and he wants to pass it on to me."

"What?!" The shocking news made Li Chenqi forget all the cover-ups, and roared with a distorted face: "Impossible! I am the prince, and the throne should be mine!"

However, after yelling, he realized his gaffe.Immediately restrained his emotions, stepped back a few steps, and turned his gaze to the old emperor on the bed.

His face was sallow and his breathing was weak, which was obviously a sign that his life was coming to an end.But at this moment, the sharp eyes in the past are no longer there, but the eyes are still clear.

Li Chenqi looked at the deep disappointment in his eyes, and then suddenly looked at Li Chenxiang's smile on the side.After all, he knew that he had been fooled again.

The shame of being teased by others made Li Chenqi's clenched fists "clack" and he tried his best to endure so that he would not act impulsively here.

"Since the father has made a decision, the minister there has nothing to say. The minister still has government affairs to deal with, so I will leave first."

Turning around to leave, Li Chenqi swore that he would definitely make Li Chenxiang pay the price!

Let it all settle down tonight.Even if he has to bear the crime of killing his father and seizing the throne, even if he wants to leave an eternal infamy, he will not back down!

For the plan of more than ten years, for the wish of the concubine mother, and even more to prove his existence.He, Li Chenqi, must become Donglin's king!

Finally, it's come to this point.

Donglin's old emperor was lying on the bed, recalling the conversation between the two sons just now, recalling all the past.There was a sudden sadness in my heart, and the vitality in my eyes faded a bit.

All my life, I seem to keep making mistakes.Now, even my own flesh and blood can't tolerate myself.As for himself, he could only watch all this happen, powerless.

"Your Majesty, the Empress has come to see you."

As a trusted eunuch by the emperor's side, now facing the emperor whose death is approaching, he also lacks the respect of the past and has more unknown strength.

It wasn't that the emperor was careless, but he really felt it.There was a bitter smile on the corner of his lips, and he said weakly in a hoarse voice: "Xuan."

The queen entered and screened away a group of idlers.However, the father-in-law next to the emperor was not among them.Glancing at her father-in-law, the queen didn't feel embarrassed.

Or rather, she didn't have that ability.The emperor should have also discovered that this person is no longer his confidant, and of course, he is not his own either.So who does the father-in-law obey?When I think about it carefully, it's ready to come out.

Li Chenxiang.

Keeping a low profile for so many years is for today.

It's a pity that the second emperor is still stupid, he doesn't know how to bow his head to be a minister, and wants to kill himself.

"Your Majesty, my concubine has come to see you." The Empress walked to the dragon couch, and looked at the old emperor on the couch with a pair of cold eyes.There is no deep affection in the past, and there is no worry in the past.

This is her real attitude towards the emperor - deserted.Since it is ruthless, how can it be affectionate?There is only one person I love.Once helpless, once resentful, now bearish, now relieved.

The man in front of her took away her love, but also gave her an unusual status.It's just that he never knew what he wanted, and he never tried hard to get back his own love.

Therefore, Song Xuanqiu didn't blame the man in front of her, but she wouldn't have any other feelings.

Why didn't the old emperor understand.In his whole life, he has hurt and failed too many people.

Since his enthronement as emperor.Relatives, friends, brothers, and lovers gradually moved away from me one by one.The heights are extremely cold, and only when you stand in a high position can you deeply understand it.

Gradually blinded by power, I forgot what trust is, and who is truly worthy of my trust.That's why Tsing Yi was harmed, so he was doomed to spend the rest of his life in repentance.

And the queen in front of her is also the mistake she made when she was young and frivolous.

"Xuanqiu." Calling him softly, the emperor looked at the empress with deep regret rather than affection. "You, have you ever hated me?"

Song Xuanqiu was stunned, she never thought that a high-ranking emperor would ask such a question to herself.The indifferent expression changed slightly, stained with a trace of hesitation.

All kinds of thoughts turned around, and finally the thin lips parted slightly, and said in relief: "I don't hate anymore." It's not that I never hated, but now, everything is meaningless.

"Really." The emperor leaned his body against the mattress on the back side, and looked away from the empress.After a while, Youyou asked: "Does Xuanqiu still love him?"

Even if they didn't say it clearly, the emperor and queen didn't know who the "he" was.Calming down, Song Xuanqiu looked at the emperor, trying to see a trace of hatred from his face, but it was in vain.

He pursed his lips tightly, and opened his mouth again, and the big rock in his heart seemed to settle down.

"Yes. I still love him. I have always loved him." No longer a queen, no longer a concubine, just calling herself "I", with the identity of Song Xuanqiu.

"In my heart, there has always been only Xin Mo alone." It was in the past, it is in the present, and it is the same today.

The emperor turned his attention to the empress again.Suddenly there was a faint smile on his haggard and pale face, although it was faint, it came from the heart.

"You finally told the truth." At this moment, he knew that he really had nothing.However, the bottom of my heart is peaceful.Thinking of the imminent death, the emperor actually felt a sense of relief from the shackles.

Perhaps he should be happy.Soon, he will be able to see that person again.His Tsing Yi, they will meet in the underground.

"I have owed you too much." The emperor sighed, then changed the subject and said with a strong tone: "But I never regret it."

Song Xuanqiu lowered her head and suppressed the look in her eyes.The emperor saw this, but he just continued talking to himself.

"There is no need to mention what happened back then. Now, the only thing I can do is to set you free. Xuanqiu, go find that person."

He raised his head suddenly, only for the words of the man on the dragon bed, his eyes couldn't hide his excitement and shock.

She saw the sincerity in the emperor's eyes, he didn't lie to himself, he really planned to let himself go.

The emperor smiled, calm and breezy.After looking away and letting go, I suddenly felt much more relaxed.As Tsing Yi said back then, forgiving others is tantamount to forgiving oneself.

"Zhang De."

"The slave is here." The father-in-law, who had been standing quietly at the side, turned around at this moment and bent over the emperor. "Your Majesty, please command your servants."

"There's no need to be too polite. Go and call Xiang'er in." The emperor's tone didn't carry any harshness, but Zhang De could definitely feel his indifference.

After all, he is the king of a country, even at the end of his life, he still does not lose the slightest imperial air.The majesty cannot be rejected, and the momentum is extraordinary.

"Slave..." Zhang De's heart sank, and a sense of fear emerged spontaneously.Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the old emperor.

"Since you recognize him as your current master, you must understand the meaning of the word loyalty. My son is the next king, how can there be someone with a weak mind to accompany you?"

These few words are spoken calmly, but the meaning contained in the words is like a stormy sea.And after that, the father-in-law couldn't react at all, he just knelt down with a "plop".He lowered his head and dared not move, his body trembling slightly.

"Father, don't embarrass Eunuch Zhang." At this moment, a sudden voice came, and one person stepped into the Lin Palace steadily. "My son Chen Xiang, please refer to Father Emperor and Mother Empress."

Neither humble nor overbearing, a change of attitude from the past.Li Chenxiang made a salute, straightened his waist, walked to the dragon couch, and stood side by side with Song Xuanqiu.

The emperor looked at the young man in front of him, and there was a hint of appreciation and relief in his eyes.Sighing softly for a while, the smile on his lips revealed helplessness: "Xiang'er, I think I heard what I just said."

Li Chenxiang didn't want to hide, so he nodded generously.There was a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth: "How does the father want the queen mother to be free? Didn't the father ever think that maybe what the mother wants is not freedom, but something else?"

This remark is a metaphor for why, everyone's hearts are clear.Who is the emperor?Even though he was seriously ill and lay in bed for a long time, he already knew what he should know and understand.As for Song Xuanqiu, whose complexion was already pale at this moment, he looked at the old emperor stiffly, and then turned his gaze to Li Chenxiang, with deep hatred.

"Xiang'er is worrying too much. What the queen wants is so simple. I am ashamed of treating her too much, and now I should let go." The old emperor ignored the meaning of Li Chenxiang's words and rescued the queen.

Song Xuanqiu was stunned, and then looked at the emperor with wet eyes.The man, at the end of his life, asserted himself.Just this time is enough.It is enough to let oneself really let go of hatred, and let go of those floating clouds, power, wealth, fame and fortune.

"Your Majesty, my concubine thank you so much." After speaking, Yingying bowed and knelt down.

For the first time in so many years, Song Xuanqiu let go of her arrogance.Such a great gift to the emperor.Only because of the emperor at this moment, it is worth doing this.

"Since the father said so, the son will naturally obey. The father can rest assured that the son will definitely let the mother be truly 'free'. After tomorrow, Empress Donglin will convert to the Reclining Buddha, pray for the people, and never enter the world again."

Li Chenxiang didn't want to make things difficult.What's more, since the empress leaves, there will be no resistance in the court, so why not do it.

"Okay, okay." The emperor smiled, and the next moment, there was a sharp pain in his chest, coughing again and again, and a mouthful of dirty blood spurted from his mouth.

"Father!"

"emperor!"

Song Xuanqiu and Li Chenxiang were shocked, and they stepped forward to hold him
