Emperor Shi Tian did not inherit the throne smoothly, but seized power.
When the previous emperor was alive, for some reason, he hated this son and was also lukewarm towards his mother. When Emperor Shi Tian was born, he was banished to the cold palace. Even his name was given by himself after he grew up. Shi Tian, killing the sky.
When he passed away, he left behind an imperial edict, passing the throne to Crown Prince Di Ze, and requiring Di Ze to kill Di Shi Tian as the first thing after taking the throne.
Unfortunately, Emperor Ze was incompetent and was assassinated the day before he ascended the throne. Afterwards, Tianze was in chaos, and Emperor Shitian came out to quell the civil strife, and then led the army to war, and then inherited the throne.
As for the empress dowager, she was only enthroned after Emperor Shi Tian ascended the throne.
However, Emperor Shi Tian's mother was the empress when the previous emperor was alive. Although the previous emperor did not favor her, he never changed her position.
An unfavored prince is still a prince, and because of his identity as a prince, Di Shitian suffered many disasters in his childhood.
When he was three years old, he was framed and abandoned in the snow in the middle of winter for a whole night. When they found him the next day, he was frozen purple.
When he was five years old, he was studying in his study when a fire suddenly broke out. If the Queen Mother had not rushed in and carried him out despite the danger, he would have died long ago.
When he was eight years old, he was poisoned and almost died.
When he was nine years old, he was tricked by his brother into a cage of wild animals for a whole night. The second wolves came out covered in blood, with wounds all over his body and empty eyes. No one knew what happened that night, but they knew that the two wolves in the cage were dead, and they were both killed by having their stomachs ripped open.
The path of Emperor Shi Tian's growth was full of thorns. Every step, every footprint, was covered in blood.
Along the way, family affection is a knife that kills without blood, and trust is a hand that can push you to hell at any time. Along the way, he forgot about feelings, forgot to smile, and forgot what warmth is.
So, his whole body was cold, and no one could warm his heart, not even him, not even Bai Tian, not even the Queen Mother.
Perhaps God really has eyes and sent an angel to save this soul wandering on the edge of darkness.
The queen successfully entered the king's heart and took root. He really couldn't imagine what would happen to the king if the queen suddenly disappeared one day and never appeared again!
"Tiantian!" Suddenly a purple light flashed, and a white figure appeared in the bedroom.
"Queen!" Dugu Yingcheng was delighted and looked towards the source of the voice, joy evident on his face.
He knew that the queen would definitely come back, because she couldn't let go of the king. The queen was the last straw for the king. Whenever the king was on the verge of collapse, the queen would always appear.
It’s like this every time!
Ling'er didn't have time to think, and immediately ran to Emperor Shitian, stretched out her hand, and felt his pulse.
His pulse was steady, so he shouldn't be unconscious. What on earth was going on
"The royal doctor diagnosed that the king is fine, but he just doesn't want to wake up."
"You don't want to wake up?" Hearing Dugu Yingcheng's words, Ling'er frowned. Di Shitian was not a weak person, so how could he not want to wake up? "What's going on?"
Damn it, why did Tiantian fall into a coma after she was away for only half a day!
Dugu Yingcheng took two steps forward and knelt in front of Ling'er.
"Prime Minister Dugu, what are you doing?" Ling'er was confused by Dugu Yingcheng's sudden action. She just wanted to know what happened in the Imperial Palace after she left. Was it necessary to perform such a big ceremony
"Little Princess, no, you should be called Queen." Dugu Yingcheng knelt on the ground, and when he said this, he suddenly raised his head and looked directly into Ling'er's eyes.
Ling'er was not surprised that Dugu Yingcheng could guess her true identity. Moreover, she did not intend to hide it from them. They were Emperor Shitian's confidants, so she naturally trusted them.
"Queen, after you left in anger, the king said, 'She is leaving me,' and then he vomited blood and fainted."
These words made Ling'er's hand, which was touching Di Shitian's wrist, tremble violently.
So, Tiantian was like this because of her? She was the culprit who made him unconscious!
Before Ling'er could react, Dugu Yingcheng's voice sounded again: "Queen, since you appeared, you have lived in the king's heart. For so many years, I have never seen the king laugh heartily, nor have I seen the king so nervous about anything. You have special meaning to the king, and you are very important. Therefore, I ask you to promise me one thing again."
She knew what he said. However, she chose to ignore it. Her little hand moved down and held Di Shitian's big hand, then she said, "What's the matter?"
If there was anything she could do for him, she would definitely do it.
"Please promise me, Queen, that you will never leave Your Majesty!" Because if he leaves, the king will completely collapse.
Dugu Yingcheng's request made Ling'er's gloom deepen.
"Prime Minister Dugu, it's not that I don't agree to your request, but I just can't agree to it." She couldn't stay here forever, and sooner or later, she would have to return to Yunhai City. Because that was her responsibility, an obligation she couldn't shirk.
"Why!" Dugu Yingcheng's heart sank when he heard Ling'er disagree, and his voice tone rose a few degrees.
Did she know how serious a blow her leaving would cause to the king? The two of them had already made the king unconscious just because they left in a tantrum today. If she left forever, I'm afraid the king would die!
Responsibility? What kind of responsibility would make her willing to betray the king's deep affection? He really couldn't think of it!
Ling'er sighed and closed her eyes. "I'm sorry, I can't tell you the reason. I have my own difficulties!" Although they can be trusted, she still can't say it.
The oppressive atmosphere spread silently in this space. Dugu Yingcheng had a serious face and said nothing. Ling'er also closed her eyes and concentrated, not knowing how to face it. At this moment, the unconscious Emperor Shitian suddenly groaned in pain.
"Don't... don't go..."
His long and curled eyelashes fluttered because he was too anxious. His head twisted painfully, as if he was experiencing something painful. His hands suddenly clenched, because Ling'er's hands were in his hands, so he naturally held them.
“Don’t go… Don’t go…”
"Tiantian? Tiantian!" Feeling the strength coming from the big hand, Ling'er immediately turned around and gently patted Di Shitian's cheek with her other hand. (To be continued)
