"Yes, how bad is it?"

Jiang Ling gritted his teeth: "It's very likely...he's gone now."

"..."

gone!

Gu Fang may no longer be in this world!

Jun Ruohan felt that the words he said were obscure and difficult to understand, and he had to go through them several times in his heart before he could figure it out, but it couldn't be true.

There is really no such person in this world anymore.

Unlike when he went far away from Fengming Pass, at least he knew that he was still alive, and when he wanted to see him, he would pass a word of mouth, no matter how far away, he would rush to him immediately.

Now, even if he is not far away in Feng County, the only thing that can be recalled by his will is his body that cannot speak or move.

"Your Majesty, I have one more request." Jiang Ling could understand Jun Ruohan's feelings. He also went through a lot of suffering when he left Gu Fang behind, but things have come to this point, and there is no chance to do it again.

"Speak." Jun Ruohan's voice was like a rusty weapon, not as fierce as before.

"Feng County has been dealt with cleanly, please send troops to supervise."

"I will arrange for Commander Han to do this matter," Jun Ruohan said.

"Yes." Jiang Ling raised his head and glanced at him, "The subordinate will take his leave first."

Jun Ruohan didn't speak, but just stood there blankly.

Until Lu Sheng came in, he still maintained the same movements as when Jiang Ling left.

"Your Majesty, it's not good." Seeing his master's lost look, Lu Sheng really didn't want to tell the news he had just received, but he had to say, "Old General Gu is going to Feng County."

The person in charge of Jianjian came back, but his son didn't. Gu Huan knew what happened without thinking about it.

"He's going to Feng County?" Jun Ruohan finally found his voice.

"Yes, he said he was going to see Gu Shaoshi for the last time." Lu Sheng said.

"now what?"

"Prime Minister Su went to persuade him, but I don't know if he can be persuaded."

"Go and tell Old General Gu that if Gu Fang is still alive, I will definitely bring him back safe and sound. If..." Jun Ruohan paused, mustering up his courage before continuing, "If it's unfortunate, he's gone. I will also take his ashes home."

"Your Majesty..." Lu Sheng was taken aback, what the master said clearly meant to go to Feng County in person!

"Go." Jun Ruo coldly ordered.

"Yes." Lu Sheng shrank his neck and quietly backed out.

The woman outside the door was startled, she almost couldn't hold the soup in her hand, brother Ruohan is going to Feng County, this is not possible, there has just been a plague in that place, how dangerous it is!

Moreover, even for the brothers who grew up together, this feeling is really strange.

Before Lu Sheng withdrew, Shen Qiuyu had already left with soup, she couldn't let brother Ruohan go to such a dangerous place.

Jun Ruohan managed to pull himself together, and summoned Eunuch Xi to deliver an oral order to Han Jing, but before Han Jing arrived, the queen mother waited.

"Mother, it's so late, why are you here?" The moment Jun Ruohan saw the Queen Mother, he put away the gloomy look on his face.

The Empress Dowager changed her usual kind-hearted and kind-hearted appearance, and walked in front of him with a serious face: "If Ai's family doesn't come, the Emperor will have to leave!"

Jun Ruohan's expression froze, and his cold eyes swept over Shen Qiuyu who was beside the queen mother: "Second Miss Shen stays with the queen mother every day, and I don't know if Qiu Yun knows that she, the future queen, will have to spend more time with your younger sister Just study."

Shen Qiuyu didn't expect to be ridiculed by him so sarcastically, she immediately bit her lip as if she was about to cry.

The words "Second Miss Shen" and "Qiu Yun" were telling her the difference between her and Shen Qiuyun.

"You go out first!" Seeing him throwing fire on Shen Qiuyu, the Queen Mother asked her to leave first.

"Yes." Shen Qiuyu gave Jun Ruohan a resentful look before leaving.

The queen mother looked at her son and blamed: "Don't blame her, she is also worried about your safety."

"I don't blame her, so I still have to thank her?" Jun Ruohan snorted and said with a smile, "Is it true that now anyone can tell me what to do in the name of caring for me?"

The queen mother was stunned for a moment, and then laughed softly: "The emperor has grown up indeed! But don't forget who pushed you to your current position at the beginning."

Jun Ruohan nodded: "I don't dare to forget, but if my mother let me be the emperor at the beginning, if it was just to control me, and thus control the entire Dayue, then I can give up this position now."

"You..." The queen mother didn't expect him to say such words.

"You don't have to be so troublesome. It's not like there hasn't been a female emperor in the history of Da Yue." Jun Ruohan's voice became colder and colder.

From the day he became the emperor, no, it should be said from the day he was made the crown prince, the queen mother changed and became a person with a strong desire for control.

She wants him, including the entire royal family, and the entire world to grow up according to her wishes.

"It's ridiculous, you are the emperor of Da Yue, and you can say such a thing." The queen mother roared in disbelief. The mask she had been wearing on her face was torn off by someone, which made her angry from embarrassment.

"You forced me to say it." Jun Ruohan glanced at her, "I'm going to make a decision in Fengxian County."

"What if the Ai family doesn't agree?" The queen mother looked straight into his eyes.

"Mother, I wonder if you still remember what your father looked like after Lu Zheng died?" Jun Ruohan asked calmly.

Hearing him mention the name "Lu Zheng", the Empress Dowager's eyes suddenly tightened, and jealousy and hatred flashed across her face: "How do you know him?"

"What happened, no matter how well you hide it, it still happened." Jun Ruohan said, "Did the father just suffer a mental blow back then?"

The Empress Dowager's breathing became chaotic. After Lu Zheng's death, the first emperor lingered on the sick bed and called the man's name day and night, refusing to drink medicine and let the doctor treat him vividly.

Although so many years have passed, she can't forget it at all.

"If Gu Fang is really dead, I don't want to experience the pain my father suffered back then." Jun Ruohan said, "I would rather go with him!"

"You, you...as the king of a country, you actually said such words. How can you be worthy of the great world, how can you be worthy of the ancestors of the Jun family, and how can you be worthy of the century-old foundation they have laid?" The queen mother never imagined Well, the emperor who was trained by herself would say such a thing one day, which made her extremely disappointed.

"I can't even protect the one I love..." Jun Ruohan's voice was trembling, "How can I protect the people of the world and build a great foundation?"

"Pursuing government in his position, you are now sitting in the position of the Son of Heaven, no matter how painful you are, you will always put the world first, and you must not abandon the world just because of a small care. "The empress dowager's aura is not inferior to Jun Ruohan's, and he hasn't even seen her show her sharpness for a long time.

"Why do Tianxia and Gu Fang have to give up one?" Jun Ruohan asked back, and then his face changed, unruly and arrogant, "I am the Son of Heaven, the king of a country, I want both, let me ask, why not?"

"You..." The Queen Mother was speechless, and finally could only say, "But Fengxian County is extremely dangerous, just in case..."

"Mother, do you know why a plague broke out in Fengxian County, and why did Taiwei Liu ask me to come in person?"

"Why?"

"Because... as long as I'm still in Shangdu, Yushe's plan can't be carried out." Jun Ruohan's eyes turned cold, "A thorn stuck in the throat won't kill you, but it's not so comfortable. If you pull it out, it will always hurt when you eat."

Bai Yu has lived in Shangdu for so long, it is absolutely impossible that he is just dawdling here.

"You want to... lure the snake out of its hole?"

"I want to see him, and it's just a way to pull out this thorn." Jun Ruohan curled his lips.

The weather has been fine these two days, and the last few envoys who remained in Feng County saw the team sent by the emperor, and their depressed and depressed mood finally became clearer.

"Cough...cough..."

There was an uninterrupted coughing sound coming from the house, but it could be discerned from the loudness of the sound that the people inside probably had no strength.

"Young envoy Gu, the guardians from the capital are here." The envoy Zhang Jian outside the door said, his words filled with indescribable joy.

Gu Fang opened his eyes a little, moved his eyeballs only to realize that it was dawn again, how many days have passed?

I don't know, it doesn't make any sense anyway.

"They are here, you... just go!"

The plague in Fengxian County has finally come to an end.

No, not yet, the task will be considered as a successful completion when I deal with myself cleanly.

"...Yes." The joy of the people outside disappeared just now, and when they thought that there was still a person waiting to die inside, they felt a little sad.

"Wait." Gu Fang thought of something, "How's the weather today...? Will it rain?"

In fact, he could feel that the sun was shining outside, but he still couldn't help asking.

The man turned his head to look at the sky, the sun was shining and he couldn't open his eyes a little bit.

"The weather is fine, probably it won't rain for a few days."

"That's good..." Gu Fang said softly to himself.

"Gu Shaoshi...then let's go."

The people outside stood outside the door for a moment, and finally lifted their feet to leave.

Gu Fang didn't move until there was no movement outside. He had been lying on the bed for an indeterminate amount of time, his whole body was numb and he couldn't feel anything. The so-called movement at this moment was nothing more than stretching his arms.

He stretched out his arms and groped under the pillow, and found the torch that had been placed in advance.

He looked at the thing in his hand in a daze, then suddenly twitched his mouth, thinking that in Dayuling, it was because there was no fire zhezi that he had no cooked food for a long time. From this point of view, whether it is survival or death, this thing The importance of children is not comparable to other things.

Pulling off the top cover, Gu Fang blew on the fire folder with the last bit of strength, and the small yellow flame quickly sprang up.
