In the divine capital of the dynasty, outside the city gate, Xia Lian led a group of officials of the dynasty, standing there waiting for the return of the emperor Xia Xian.
A group of imperial officials, including Xia Lian, all looked up at the distant sky. When they saw a golden light approaching from far to near, they all stood solemnly.
Seeing the golden light approaching, three flying boats appeared, and then slowly landing, Xia Lian took a deep breath, walked forward slowly, and bowed to the flying boats that landed.
"Congratulations, His Majesty the Emperor, return to court!"
Following Xia Lian's voice, the imperial officials behind him also greeted him at the same time.
Amidst the greetings of the court officials, the people on the flying boat walked down slowly. The first thing that appeared in front of everyone was the servant of the Emperor Xia Xian, followed by the accompanying guard army, and finally, the servant of the Emperor Xia Xian. The figure appeared in front of everyone.
But as soon as Xia Xian appeared, all the people present who wanted to speak were suddenly speechless, and the scene fell into an eerie silence.
After a few breaths, Xia Lian stepped forward, his eyes were still full of horror, his Adam's apple moved slightly, and he said slowly, "You, how could you be like this?"
"It's nothing more than expected, there's nothing to make a fuss about!" Xia Xian's voice also sounded, full of the majesty of a human emperor, but compared to before, it was more old and heavy.
I saw that at this time, the human emperor Xia Xian, compared with when he left before, his appearance has undergone a huge change. The original black hair has turned into a gray color, and his body has lost two rounds of weight loss, as if He was like a refugee who had suffered a famine, but strangely, his appearance hadn't changed much, even his face was still rosy, giving the impression that he was still very energetic.
But with this appearance, everyone present knew that this energetic feeling might not be true.
"Let's go back to the palace first. I'm lonely and tired after this journey!" Xia Xian stepped forward, bypassing Xia Lian who was standing in front of him, ignoring the officials of the dynasty who still didn't speak, and went straight to the palace. Go to the palace.
That scrawny appearance didn't affect his demeanor at all, and he still walks like a dragon and a tiger while walking, attracting everyone's attention.
Looking at Xia Xian's back, Xia Lian frowned slightly, and he didn't know if it was his own psychological illusion. He always felt that Xia Xian at this time, even when he was walking, had a sense of being strong on the outside but doing nothing on the inside.
Standing on the spot and thinking for a while, Xia Lian glanced at the officials of the dynasty who were still standing there, and said to them: "My lords have worked hard, His Majesty the Emperor is not feeling well today, and needs to take a rest, my lords, please go back! "
Hearing Xia Lian's words, among a group of imperial officials, several older officials looked at each other, and then stepped forward, wanting to say something to Xia Lian, but he stopped him in advance.
"Don't worry, my lords, I will go to the palace to meet His Majesty the Emperor, and I will definitely find out what happened!"
After saying this, Xia Lian also turned around and walked towards the palace with big strides.
Seeing this, several veteran officials looked at each other again, and one of them sighed softly, "It's a pity!"
Although the rest of the people were silent, they all sighed slightly after hearing the words. As veteran officials who had met Xia Xian before his trip, they knew something more or less.
After Xia Lian entered the palace, he soon found Xia Xian in the palace where Xia Xian often stayed.
Looking at Xia Xian standing in front of the painting, although Xia Lian wanted to ask many things at this moment, he couldn't help but slow down.
After entering the hall, Xia Lian stood silently behind Xia Xian for a long time until Xia Xian spoke up.
"Gu thought that after you came in, he couldn't help but immediately ask you what you wanted to know."
While saying this, Xia Xian turned around slowly, looked at Xia Lian who was standing there, and said the last part of the sentence: "It seems that letting you supervise the country has made your patience a lot better." !"
"Now you can tell me what's going on, how did you become like this?" Xia Lian said, looking at Xia Xian with a blank expression.
Although he didn't have any expression on his face at the moment, the emotions in his heart were very complicated. He had expected something to happen to Xia Xian, but seeing all this now, he still felt a little unacceptable.
"What often happens to Gu is just an accident, and you don't need to worry that the same thing will happen to you in the future."
"What you need to do now is to replace Gu and continue to supervise the country, and at the same time prepare to ascend to the throne of Emperor!" Xia Xian looked at Xia Lian and said in a flat tone.
"You haven't told me what made you become what you are now. Also, you are the Human Emperor, and I have countless human masters. There must be a way to solve your problems!" Xia Xian said clearly Xia Lian was not at all happy about taking over the position of Emperor himself.
Before he knew it, he had already recognized Xia Xian's emperor's status as the emperor, and he himself had no interest in this position at the beginning.
"Haha, good fortune means, only good luck can be saved, other people can't save Gu!" Xia Xian said with a chuckle when he heard Xia Yuan's words, shaking his head slightly.
"My human race is also blessed, I can go to the Taiyi Sword Sect...!" Xia Lian was halfway through his sentence, but he himself realized that something was wrong, and then stopped.
"It's nothing, you go back first, Gu, I want to stay by myself for a while!" Xia Xian had a smile on his face when he heard this, and waved to Xia Lian, signaling him to leave first.
Standing in place for a moment of silence, Xia Lian nodded lightly, turned around and was about to leave, but just as he was about to turn around, Xia Xian's voice suddenly sounded again.
"Remember, after you ascend to the throne of the Emperor, you can implement benevolent government, but when you encounter problems, you must not make compromises unless you have to, because you are the Emperor, and your waist cannot be easily If you bend too much, you won't be able to straighten up!"
Hearing this sentence, Xia Lian turned his head again, but this time, what he saw was only a golden light. With this golden light, the foreground in Xia Lian's eyes changed, and he had already arrived at the gate of the palace.
Standing in front of the palace gate, Xia Lian hesitated for a moment, then turned around and walked towards his mansion. As for Xia Xian's last words, Xia Lian remembered them in his heart.
"Brother Sixth Emperor, Gu, after all, you shouldn't be too disappointed!" After sending Xia Lian out of the palace, Xia Xian turned around and continued to look at the painting on the wall. The smile softened a little.
He turned around, walked to the table in the room, picked up the memorials that had just been brought in, and began to review them. Until all these memorials were processed, Xia Xian still did not stop writing.
Taking out a piece of paper from the table, Xia Xian wrote a letter, and then asked the waiter to fetch a roll of official imperial edict, on which he wrote the imperial edict of passing on the throne, stamped it with the emperor's seal, and from then on Take out a box under the table, put the imperial edict and letters into it, and then cover it with a layer of legal power.
After doing all this, Xia Xian walked out of the palace, and the waiter greeted him immediately.
"May I ask Your Majesty, do you want to continue reading the memorial tonight, or do you want to read the unfinished volume?"
"Tonight, Gu, go to rest!" Xia Xian glanced at the waiter, and strode towards his bedroom.
When the waiter behind him heard the words, a look of sadness flashed in his eyes, and then hurriedly followed, serving him carefully as before.
Xia Xian walked into his bedroom, which should be a very familiar place, but Xia Xian has not been here for some years, but the cleaning is still very clean, and the items on display have not changed at all.
"Go down, I'm going to rest!" Xia Xian walked into the room and told the waiter who was following behind.
And the waiter who had been serving him all the time was not as obedient as before.
I saw the waiter knelt down on the ground, and said with a choked voice: "Your Majesty, please wait outside Xu Chen's door. If your Majesty has anything to do at night, please summon him at any time!"
When Xia Xian heard the waiter's words, he turned his head and glanced at him, his eyes flickered slightly, and then said softly, "You have a heart!"
After saying this, Xia Xian walked to his bed, lay down on the bed without taking off his clothes, and then slowly closed his eyes.
The waiter stood up quietly, and retreated carefully to the door. During this process, he was very careful, for fear of disturbing Xia Xian even if the waiter knew that Xia Xian would never fall asleep.
Since that time a few years ago, for so many nights, Xia Xian has never slept with the waiter by his side. Xia Xian spends all his nights reviewing memorials and reading books.
Xia Xian, who was lying on the bed, was indeed not asleep now, but he, who had not rested for a long time, was lying on the bed at this moment, but the feeling of fatigue was endless, rushing towards him like a tide, but he His consciousness and body were so awake that he couldn't fall asleep.
This feeling of being exhausted to the extreme but still unable to fall asleep is actually very painful. Xia Xian has endured this pain for a long time, and he is about to be relieved.
With his eyes closed, Xia Xian recalled a lot of past memories in his mind, replaying the past scenes before his eyes, and finally fixed the scene when he went to Wangyue Mountain and met Mo He.
According to Xia Xian's original plan, after he went to Xuelie Pass, he didn't plan to come back, but after he went to Wangyue Mountain, he changed his mind a bit.
The waiter standing outside the door suddenly discovered that Xia Xian, who was lying on the bed, began to be covered with a layer of golden power of law, and even the net of law began to clearly appear in the sky above the entire palace.
The waiter closest to Xia Xian clearly saw that Xia Xian's soul was pulled out of his body by himself in the golden power of law. The surface of the soul was covered with a layer of net-shaped bloodstains.
At this moment, the power of the golden law is like a blade, tearing at the surface of the soul forcefully. The pain of tearing the soul makes Xia Xian howl in pain.
"I am the king of the emperor in this life, and I wish to enter the fairy gate in the next life. I will not be so easily lost!"
Following this roar, the golden power of the law opened a portal in the void, and a remnant soul that was already broken into shape, wrapped in the power of the law, fell into the portal in the void.
The waiter was stunned for a moment, looked at the body of Xia Xian who had lost his vitality in the room, immediately fell to his knees, and kowtowed heavily on the ground.
"Congratulations, His Majesty the Emperor!"
