"Your Majesty has just woken up and is talking to the empress and concubine Yan in the hall. You wait in the side hall first."
At the gate of Yangju Hall, Changde closed the gate and said to Li Yi and Li Xuan.
Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed his hands, walked into the side hall, and asked, "How many times did Emperor Father wake up today?"
Chang De said: "Today is the second time. I woke up for a while in the morning, and fell asleep after eating some food."
After entering the side hall, you can't feel the cold outside.
Seeing Li Yi, Yongning ran over all the way, accidentally tripped and fell to the ground.
Li Yi hurried over, picked her up, and asked with concern, "Does it hurt from the fall?"
Although tears were already rolling in her eyes, she still shook her head with a soft voice: "It doesn't hurt..."
Li Yi gently patted the dust on her body, held her little hand, and said, "Be careful when you walk in the future, you know?"
Yongning lowered his head, and said obediently: "Understood..."
In the side hall, not only Yongning, Mingzhu and Shouning are also there, but also several young princes and princesses playing in the distance.
"Sir, what's wrong with Father?" Tsundere Lolita slowly raised her head and looked at Li Yi, with a trace of panic that couldn't be concealed deep in her clear eyes.
Li Yi patted her on the head lightly, and said: "Your Majesty is fine, he just wants to talk to you, don't you still have a lot to say to your father?"
Li Yi looked at Li Mingzhu, she was sitting there with a slightly dazed expression, her eyes lost focus.
An eunuch came in from the door and whispered: "His Royal Highness, the eldest princess, Your Majesty has summoned you."
Li Xuan and Mingzhu brought Yongning Shouning and a group of princes and princesses in. Li Yi sat alone in the side hall, staring at the beating flames in the furnace in a daze.
The side hall was quiet, except for the sound of "beep beep beep" from the firewood in the stove. Li Yi's heart was also peaceful, so peaceful that he couldn't even hear the only sound.
He had vaguely guessed something.
I don't know how long it took, maybe a quarter of an hour, or maybe an hour, before Li Xuan's voice rang in his ears.
Li Yi looked up at him and found that Pearl Yongning and Shouning were already standing in front of him.
Li Xuan's eyes were a little red, and he said in a low voice, "Father told you to go there."
Li Yi nodded, stood up, opened the door and walked out of the side hall.
The cold wind hit his face, he tightened his clothes, Changde had already opened another door, and said, "Come in."
When Li Yi walked into the hall, the first thing he smelled was a faint fragrance.
The aroma of white fungus and lotus seed soup.
He walked slowly to the bed, bowed and said, "Please see..."
"Cough, excuse me..." A weak voice came from the couch, Emperor Jing leaned on the couch, looked at him, and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"
"Not yet." Li Yi shook his head. At this time, it's not time to eat yet.
Emperor Jing turned his head to look, and motioned: "Then let's eat something here... Changde, help me up."
A bowl of cooked white fungus and lotus seed soup, a few simple side dishes, although simple, but very cordial.
In the early years of Jinghe, in King Ning's mansion, there were also these few side dishes, a bowl of white fungus and lotus seed soup that was a bit overcooked.
"I still remember that day when you said that you suffered from a chronic illness that prevented you from being an official..." The eunuch at the side wanted to pick up the spoon for him, but Emperor Jing waved his hand vigorously, picked up the spoon by himself, and said, "At that time, I Why haven't you been punished for the crime of deceiving the king..."
Li Yi took a sip of the soup, shook his head, and said with a smile: "Those who don't know are innocent, not to mention, if His Majesty had ruled his ministers and deceived the King at that time, no one would have saved His Majesty that night..."
"Everything is destiny." Emperor Jing nodded and said with a smile, "Pour wine for me!"
Li Yi poured himself a glass of grape wine, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, you forgot, you can't drink."
He took a sip of the wine, and Emperor Jing suddenly looked at him and asked, "Aren't you afraid that the wine might be poisonous?"
Li Yi shook his head and said, "If Your Majesty wants to poison the wine, why wait until today?"
Emperor Jing nodded and said: "Yes, if I want to poison the wine, after you offer the punishment of heaven, after you use the Goulan to spread rumors and force the king of Shu to leave the capital, after you gather people in the martial arts, after you Destroy Jingguo Wengu family with a play, when you get rid of the Cui family, when you want to support Mingzhu to the top, I have already done it."
Li Yi drank the wine in his glass, shook his head, and said: "Heavenly punishment is what His Majesty wants, and the King of Shu left Beijing is also what His Majesty wants. It is His Majesty who wants to destroy the Chu family. He wants to get rid of the Cui family. The pearl belongs to His Majesty too, this pot minister will not recite it."
Emperor Jing looked at him and said slowly: "After all, you did not disappoint me."
Li Yi arched his hands: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust."
Emperor Jing put down his chopsticks, covered his chest, paused for a long time, and then said: "I'm leaving soon."
His tone was calm and his expression was indifferent.
It's like saying something that couldn't be more ordinary.
It's like saying he's just going away for a while and coming right back.
Just like just now, he casually asked Li Yi, "Have you eaten?"
Li Yiduo hoped so.
Emperor Jing looked at Li Yi, and suddenly asked: "You know everything, can you tell me where people will go after they die? Is there really a hell?"
There was no fear on his face, only curiosity.
"I don't know if there are any ministers of the underworld." Li Yi shook his head and said, "But sometimes, death...is not the end, but the beginning."
"What do you mean by that?"
"It is possible that His Majesty wakes up and finds that he is no longer in the palace, not in Jing Country, but in Qi Country, Wu Country, or in another world... At that time, His Majesty was not what he is now, maybe just a baby , an urchin, a young man..."
Li Yi looked at Emperor Jing and said, "It seems difficult to understand, but a few years ago, His Majesty would not have thought that someone could fly to the sky, right?"
Emperor Jing looked at him and asked, "You mean, fly to the sky like those people from the Academy of Sciences?"
Li Yi shook his head and said: "They can only fly more than ten feet, at most tens of feet. What I said, people can fly to thousands of feet, ten thousand feet, and even to the moon. At that time, from the capital to the state of Qi , instead of several months, it only takes one or two hours..."
"A mere mortal can fly to the moon?"
"More than that, if the sun is not too hot, mortals can even go to the sun..."
"Your Majesty can imagine that in the distant future, a "God's Punishment" can raze the entire capital to the ground, making the Gyeonggi area completely barren for a hundred years..."
"Your Majesty may not have imagined that there is a kind of 'eye of the sky' that allows His Majesty to see what is happening anywhere in Jingguo in this palace..."
"Your Majesty certainly can't imagine that there will be a day when the minister sends a message to His Majesty in the State of Qi. There is no post or messenger. The news arrives in an instant. If Your Majesty wants to destroy the capital of the State of Qi, he does not need to mobilize the army. He just needs to sit here and raise a crowd." Judian, move your finger..."
…
Including Changde, the eunuchs standing on both sides have already opened their mouths wide open. A single punishment from heaven can destroy the entire capital. Ordinary people can fly to the moon and see the sky eyes of the entire Jingguo. Thousands of miles away, the message arrives in an instant——Li Is the county lord suffering from hysteria again
"If someone tells me this, I will have someone send him to the Imperial Medical Office." Emperor Jing looked at him and said, "You are different—I don't trust others, but I trust you."
"Unfortunately, I won't see this day..." He sighed, with a look of regret on his face, and then said: "Changde, go and call Xuan'er and Mingzhu over."
Chang De walked out of the hall, he turned around, took out a small wine jug from the quilt, and said with a smile: "That girl in Shouning understands my heart best."
He poured himself a glass of wine, but Li Yi didn't stop him. Emperor Jing took a sip, closed his eyes, opened them slowly after a while, and said, "After I leave, Mingzhu and Xuan'er will leave you alone. "
Li Xuan and Mingzhu walked in, Emperor Jing got up slowly, held the hands of the two, looked at Li Yi again, and said with a smile: "I leave this world to you!"
