Chapter 654

The sky was already faintly white with fish belly.

Xiao Xixi looked at the emperor who had lost his breath on the bed, and felt worthless for the prince.

This is the father the prince once truly admired.

But until his death, he never regretted the harm he caused to the prince.

Xiao Xixi helped the emperor tidy up his clothes and hair, and covered him with a quilt, making him look like he died in his sleep.

After doing this, she quietly left the dormitory.

Not long after she left, Gan Fu came.

He pushed open the door and walked in. Seeing that the palace maid and eunuch who was on duty at night was still dozing off, his face sank immediately.

Gan Fu stepped forward to wake people up and said in a low voice.

"Did you just keep vigil for the emperor like this? Everyone slept so deadly that they wouldn't wake up even if there was a thunderstorm. In case the emperor called you for something, can you hear it?"

The palace maids and eunuchs were so trained that they couldn't raise their heads, and they felt even more uneasy in their hearts.

Everyone in the Weiyang Palace knew that the emperor was Jueqian.

With a little trouble, he would wake up.

Even if nothing happened, he would often wake up in the middle of the night, or be awakened by nightmares, or be thirsty and want to drink.

Because of this, the palace maid and eunuch in charge of the night will definitely be energetic and not dare to slack off.

But I don't know what happened last night?

They fell asleep inexplicably.

Now that they woke up, they still felt a dull pain in the back of their neck, as if they had been beaten.

After Gan Fuxun finished speaking, his anger subsided a little.

He glanced at the closed inner door and asked in a low voice.

"Is the emperor still awake?"

The palace maids and eunuchs looked at each other in dismay.

One of them said hesitantly, "I shouldn't have woken up yet."

They slept all night and just woke up. How could they know if the emperor was awake?

Gan Fu pointed at a few of them and said angrily: "Wait, look back and see how I will deal with you?!"

Everyone shrank their necks, thinking that they were finished, and they would definitely be punished later.

Gan Fu ignored them, walked to the inner room, and knocked gently on the door.

no response.

Gan Fu wondered in his heart, is the emperor still sleeping?

Should not be ah.

The emperor has always woken up at dawn, and it has never changed over the years.

Gan Fu glanced out the window, the sky was already bright.

But why hasn't the emperor woke up yet?

Gan Fu was a little worried, he knocked on the door again, and asked respectfully, "Your Majesty, are you awake?"

Still no response.

Gan Fu's unease gradually expanded.

He put his hand on the door, slowly pushed it open, and said in his mouth.

"Your Majesty, the servant has come in."

The house was quiet.

Gan Fu went around the screen and saw the emperor lying motionless on the bed, looking like he was sleeping.

But Gan Fu served the emperor for many years and knew that the emperor was suspicious and vigilant. Once someone entered his room, he couldn't have slept so peacefully.

Gan Fu walked cautiously to the side of the bed with unease in his heart.

He found that the emperor's face was blue, his lips were gray, and there was no trace of blood.

It looked like he was dead.

Gan Fu's voice trembled involuntarily, and his voice trembled even more.

"Your Majesty? Your Majesty!"

The palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting outside the door were curious when they heard Gan Fu's cry, and couldn't help but look inside the house.

Across a screen, they couldn't see the real scene in the house, and could only vaguely see the vague figure of Gan Fu kneeling beside the bed.

After calling His Majesty several times in a row, Gan Fu finally stretched out his finger tremblingly and placed it under the Emperor's nose.

No breath at all!

Gan Fu was so frightened that his heart almost stopped, and he fell to the ground.

He stared at the emperor on the bed with wide eyes, shaking like a sieve, followed by a piercing cry.

"The emperor is dead!!"

This cry, like a thunderstorm, frightened many people.

The first to arrive at Weiyang Palace were the imperial physicians.

Next are the masters of the palaces.

The queen mother was also helped by someone.

Seeing the emperor's body, the queen mother cried and fainted on the spot.

The imperial physicians hurriedly helped the person to lie down on the low couch beside him.

The concubines and concubines cried so hard that their hearts were broken.

The princes and princesses knelt on the ground and wiped their tears.

Some people's thoughts are floating, and they want to compete for the throne before the prince returns to the palace.

However, the queen mother soon woke up.

she said while crying.

"Summon the cabinet, order them to enter the palace immediately, and let others see it. How long will the prince be in Beijing?"

"Here!"

The empress dowager's eyes were flushed, and her eyes swept over the princes in front of her one by one.

She could guess that some of these people had other thoughts.

In fact, these princes are all the same to her. They are her own grandsons. No matter who sits on the throne, it will not affect her as the queen mother.

But the prince is now commanding an army of 110,000 people. He has just won the battle and his prestige has risen, and he will soon arrive in Shengjing.

If someone suddenly jumped out to snatch the throne at this time, the prince would definitely not give up, and it would definitely be another disaster at that time.

The Queen Mother was reluctant to let things go that far.

She pressed down the corners of her red eyes with a silk handkerchief, and whispered to the female Shi beside her.

"Order the Imperial Guards to surround the Weiyang Palace, only allowed in, not allowed out."

"Here."

The Weiyang Palace was soon surrounded by the Imperial Guard.

Long before the Queen Mother arrived at Weiyang Palace, Xiao Xixi had already left Weiyang Palace in the chaos.

She came to the gate of the palace alone, took out the prince token, and left the palace smoothly.

Several carriages stopped at the gate of the palace, and the patriarchs jumped out of the carriages in a hurry and ran quickly into the gate of the palace.

The guards had already been instructed to let them in without saying a word.

Xiao Xixi passed by these people.

She walked out for a distance, stopped, and looked back at the majestic palace gate.

At first, she walked into this door in the mood to cope with the task.

And now, it's time for her to leave.

She was so reluctant.

Xiao Xixi slowly exhaled, and reluctantly retracted her gaze.

She first went to General Chungmu's Mansion.

Xiao Lingfeng was still working in the palace at this time, and the person who received her was the Xue family.

Xue Shi looked a little uneasy when facing her.

"I didn't expect the mother-in-law to come back suddenly. I didn't go out to greet her. I didn't have good manners. I hope you forgive me."

Xiao Xixi asked, "Where are Xiaolan and Qiming? I want to meet them."

Mrs Xue quickly asked Xiao Zhilan and Xiao Qiming to call over.

The two were a little excited when they knew that it was their sister who was here.

It's just that Xiao Qiming is at the most awkward age. Even if he is happy, he still pretends to ignore him.

Xiao Zhilan is much more docile and docile.

She called her sister sweetly.

Xiao Xixi touched her head and said with a smile, "I'm here to say goodbye to you, I'm leaving."

Xiao Zhilan hurriedly asked, "Where is my sister going?"

Xiao Xixi: "I'm going to a far place."

"Then when can you come back?"

Xiao Xixi smiled: "I don't know."
