He was silent for a while, and finally looked up at the emperor, without lowering his head to hide.

"Your Majesty..."

"If there is a chance, I will definitely clear up the hidden dangers in northern Xinjiang for Dajin."

The emperor forced a smile.

"In this way, I can feel at ease."

His complexion was getting worse and worse, and he even showed signs of sitting unsteadily, staggering, and about to fall down on the soft couch.

Li Xin was startled when he saw this, and he no longer cared about the identity of the emperor, he stepped forward two steps quickly, and supported the emperor's shoulder.

"His Majesty?"

Tianzi's mind was already a little dizzy. He looked at Li Xin who was close in front of him, and his voice began to be intermittent.

"Letter...brother."

After the emperor said these three words, he continued: "Zhen... originally wanted to take you away..."

Having said that, he laughed at himself.

"But if you die too, I... guess the crown prince won't be able to deal with this mess."

With Li Xin's support, the Son of Heaven half-lyed on the soft couch, with a pillow behind him.

He rubbed his head and continued: "Therefore... I won't kill you."

The Son of Heaven opened his eyes and looked at Li Xin.

"Ten years ago... If the fourth brother succeeded, I would have died long ago. This time..."

"Take it as paying back the life you saved me ten years ago."

His voice is getting smaller and smaller.

Li Xin sat by the bed, his eyes were a little red.

"If it wasn't for His Majesty ten years ago, I might have died a long time ago."

When Li Xin first entered the capital, he offended the Marquis of Pingnan. With the power of Marquis of Pingnan at that time, even if there were six ministers in the court, he would not want to offend him.

That is, the Seventh Prince at that time dared to reach out and give Li Xin a hand.

The two of them are perfect for each other.

Today, more than ten years have passed, things are different.

Of the two young men back then, one was in full bloom, and the other... was already dying.

Chapter 830 The Death Knell Rings

After the emperor's condition became worse and worse, Li Xin withdrew and let the prince, the princes in the palace, the empress and several ministers enter the emperor's bedroom.

After all, Li Xin was just a courtier, it was not easy to go to the emperor's bedchamber at this time and say a few words, it was impossible to say that before the emperor died, the last person he saw was Li Chang'an.

That's too unreal and unrealistic.

After exiting the sleeping hall, Li Xin did not go far, but found a vermilion pillar at the entrance of the hall, and regardless of his appearance, he sat on the ground directly, leaning against this pillar, and lowered his head a little slumped.

He was wearing a first-class court dress with wide sleeves, his hands were put together, and when he lowered his head, his head was buried in the clothes, and his eyes were pitch black.

To be honest, the sudden deterioration of the emperor's body into this state was far beyond Li Xin's expectations. He had imagined many situations in the capital before, and even imagined what methods the emperor would use to cross the river and demolish the bridge in the future. Simulated coping methods.

But he never thought that the young Emperor Taikang would die so soon...

You know, he is only 33 years old, and in another world, he can even be called a "young man".

Li Xin squatted at the door of the emperor's bedroom, feeling heavy and complicated. After about an hour, someone pushed Li Xin's shoulder with a familiar voice.

"Chang'an, Chang'an..."

Li Xin didn't fall asleep, he just felt a little uncomfortable, and he needed to carefully consider the future situation, so he hid here with his eyes closed and meditated. After being pushed, he immediately came back to his senses. people.

It's the eldest princess.

The eldest princess entered the palace with Li Xin, but after entering the palace, she went to the Empress Dowager's Kunde Palace, just came out of the Kunde Palace, she looked a little anxious, pulled Li Xin's sleeve and said: " Chang'an, how is the situation here?"

"I was in Kunde Palace just now, and I heard from those maids that the emperor brother..."

Li Xin took a deep breath, stood up from the ground, his face was quite heavy.

"The Queen Mother is here too?"

The eldest princess nodded: "The queen mother is also on the way..."

The matter of the emperor's illness these years, under the instruction of the emperor, was strictly kept secret no matter whether it was in the outer court or the inner court. In order not to worry the queen mother, the queen mother did not even know that the emperor was seriously ill.

But now, the emperor is about to die, so naturally it is impossible to hide it from the queen mother, the old lady is already on her way to Weiyang Palace.

Li Xin was silent for a while, then reached out and patted the princess on the back.

"Your Majesty should still be here right now. The Crown Prince and the Empress are accompanying you. You should go in too... just talk to him."

Although the eldest princess has a very good relationship with the emperor, she has long been mentally prepared for this matter. Although she was sad when she heard the words, she did not lose control too much. She just took a deep breath and was about to rush to the emperor's bedroom .

She took a few steps and looked back at her husband.

"Chang'an, won't you... go in?"

Li Xin said silently, "I've already gone in."

Soon, the eldest princess and the empress dowager passed through the crowd and entered the emperor's bedroom.

At this moment, the emperor has reached his real deathbed.

His face was frighteningly pale, with almost no blood left.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knelt beside his bed, choking with sobs, and the Empress also lay down beside the bed, trying to talk to the Son of Heaven.

At this time, the empress dowager, who was dressed in palace attire, led the palace people in together with the eldest princess.

The old lady walked all the way to the side of the emperor's bed, and seeing her son like this, she was shocked and angry, trembling with anger.

"How did my son become like this?!"

It's a pity that the Son of Heaven could hardly speak at this time. The Empress Dowager, who was beside the bed, knelt down in front of the Empress Dowager, lowered her head and said in a trembling voice: "Mother, Your Majesty, he...is ill..."
