Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Brightly lit.

Emperor Hongwu woke up leisurely, and opened his eyes to see the white bearded doctor.

"Your Majesty is awake!"

The old doctor's voice was full of rejoicing, he really put Hongwu Emperor to death, and in all likelihood the whole family was buried with him.

Emperor Hongwu said softly, "How long have I been in a coma?"

"Two hours!"

Eunuch Yuan said in a low voice: "This slave has notified Lord Yang and Commander Chen, but the harem still doesn't know about it."

Emperor Hongwu nodded in satisfaction. This was a long-standing plan, and he had a deeper trust in Yuan Gonggong, and ordered.

"Let them in."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at the old doctor: "Zhen, how long is it?"

The old doctor knelt on the ground with a puff, and subconsciously said: "Long live, long live, long live, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Hongwu said: "I want to listen to the truth!"

The old imperial doctor hesitated for a long time, wanting to tell the truth, but also afraid of committing the crime of deceiving the emperor, finally boldly said: "I probably won't be able to pass this autumn!"

The Autumn Lord punishes and kills, and everything withers.

At this time.

Two voices of kneeling and worshiping came, it was Yang Si, the chief assistant of the court, and Chen Shen, the commander of the Zhenfu Division.

"Get up, everyone."

Emperor Hongwu waved his hand to let the imperial physician and maids leave, and there were only four monarchs and ministers left in the palace: "My time is numbered, and when the new emperor ascends the throne in the future, he needs two internal and external assistants."

A strange color flashed in Yang Si's eyes, and he listened quietly to the following.

Chen Shen sadly said: "Long live Your Majesty..."

The Zhenfu Division is a secret service agency in Daqing. It is responsible for monitoring all officials and the world. It has always been the emperor's cronies.

"I've heard about Long Live my whole life, but in the end I won't even live to be eighty years old. Now it sounds a bit harsh."

Emperor Hongwu said slowly: "Yang Aiqing, you were promoted to chief assistant the year before last, do you know why?"

Yang Si looked at the aging Majesty, only those eyes were deep and bright, suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed, and he replied: "I used to be a servant of the East Palace, and later taught my grandson to read!"

Grandson!

Eunuch Yuan and Chen Shen changed their expressions in astonishment. They never expected that Emperor Hongwu would pass on the throne from generation to generation.

After the king of Wei became a vassal, it is not that there are no princes in the palace, but there is no title yet, so it is entirely possible to choose a crown prince.

"I once thought about passing it on to Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi, and secretly observed her temperament. Maybe she was born in a deep palace and grew up in a woman. She is too spoiled to take on great responsibilities!"

Emperor Hongwu said: "On the contrary, the grandson who has been in northern Xinjiang for several years looks quite good, at least he knows the hardships of people's livelihood."

Yang Si suppressed the joy in his heart, kowtowed and said: "I will do my best to assist the grandson!"

Chen Shen and Yuan Gonggong kowtowed to take orders. The inside and the outside of them are the eyes and knife of the new king.

Emperor Hongwu nodded and said: "I will establish a reserve in a few days, and Yang Aiqing will make preparations early."

"Follow the order."

Yang Si turned his mind, thinking about those former princes and old people, they can still win over to support the grandson.

The emperor does not have the corresponding power when he sits in that chair. He must unite the majority of courtiers, otherwise he will not be able to get out of the capital. Of course, Emperor Hongwu was the lord of Zhongxing, and the imperial edict left behind would affect most officials.

Emperor Hongwu was silent for a while, then suddenly spoke.

"Mr. Wei, please do something."

A Taoist figure suddenly appeared in the hall, dressed in ordinary servant clothes, he seemed to be a low-grade eunuch, with an old face and white hair, standing tremblingly in front of the bed.

Eunuch Yuan quickly kowtowed: "Meet the old ancestor."

Yang Si and Chen Shen couldn't help looking at him, and they were very curious about this legendary eunuch in the palace. It was rumored that he had reached the pinnacle of martial arts and had saved Emperor Hongwu's life several times.

Eunuch Wei bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please give me instructions."

Emperor Hongwu said: "I have been in love with the Empress for decades, and I can't bear to see her suffer in the cold palace. The imperial mausoleum has been repaired long ago. Let the Empress go first, and I will arrive later."

"Follow the order."

Eunuch Wei bowed and agreed, and disappeared like a ghost.

Yang Si frowned slightly, guessing vaguely, and couldn't help but change color in shock.

Emperor Hongwu sighed and said quietly.

"How will the history books evaluate me? Do you recognize the Golden Wolf King as your godfather? Imprison and kill your biological father? Or kill your son and wife..."

...

Leng Gong.

The night wind rustled.

Zhou Yi woke up from his deep sleep, he heard the sound of footsteps landing.

Even if it is subtler than the sound of the wind, it is easy to distinguish it with the ears blessed by hearing breath.

When the imperial power was changing, any stranger had to be on guard. Zhou Yi didn't care about dressing, so he jumped out of the window and rushed to Empress Xia's room in two steps.

Shining on the moonlight, a thin figure came out of the house.

"who?"

Zhou Yi had a terrified look on his face, not because he was shocked by the weirdness of the visitor, but because he lost the sound of Empress Xia's breathing in his ears.

Eunuch Wei glanced at Zhou Yi, surprise flashed in his eyes, and he rose into the air to leave.

"There are assassins!"

Zhou Yi circulated his true energy, roared for a while, and his body quickly swelled to a size of two feet. Driven by the violent force, his speed was not weaker than that of Eunuch Wei's lightness kung fu.

"Huh?"

Eunuch Wei frowned, turned around and slapped Zhou Yi.

Boom!

Like drums, like thunder.

Zhou Yi's body retreated violently, crashing into two walls, and he felt a gust of alien true energy as cold as ice, destroying and eroding in his body along the meridians.

There are not many different kinds of true qi, but they are extremely tough and difficult to deal with. Only hundreds of times the true qi can be suppressed.

Eunuch Wei didn't feel any better, he flew upside down for several tens of feet, landed and performed lightness kung fu, and disappeared into the moonlight.

Zhou Yi suppressed the heterogeneous zhenqi, and didn't have the heart to chase the assassin. Zhang Er's golden body slammed into the door of the room, and saw Empress Xia who had lost her breath.

"Damn it!"

"You should have thought of that earlier."

The old deer's voice came from behind: "Even if you don't believe that the queen is crazy, your majesty will not believe it!"

Zhou Yi dissipated his golden body and returned to his normal body shape. His whole body was naked, and his clothes were shattered when he performed the kung fu: "What if the empress is really crazy?"

The old deer said: "That just saves you from suffering."

Zhou Yi said in a deep voice: "Is this the loving couple who have been loving for decades?"

"Xiao Yizi, those couples who live together until they grow old probably have no other better choice..."

The old deer threw a suit of clothes: "Someone is here, you look like this, you can't say it's disrespectful!"

The footsteps came a little late, and the leader was the supervisor on duty, Eunuch Cui.

Seeing Empress Xia who was breathless, Eunuch Cui cried a few times as if his own mother had died, and then sent a message to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to arrange the funeral.

Zhou Yi looked coldly at Eunuch Cui, who was said to be Empress Xia's confidant!

After working hard and diligently for half a year, he finally came to nothing, which was a big blow to Zhou Yi.

Eunuch Cui's back felt cold, and he glanced at the cold palace that looked like a dragon turned over. It happened to be the time of the empress's new funeral, so he couldn't help but smile, and said with an expression uglier than crying.

"Eunuch Yi, we are in charge here, you can go and rest."

With a gloomy face, Zhou Yi returned to his residence, calling on the true energy of his dantian to dissipate the different kinds of true energy.

The old deer came back slowly, found a quilt, and hung it on the broken window. The old man was afraid of the cold night and dew, and he wanted to live a few more years.

Zhou Yi asked: "Old Lu, your mother's plan has been completed, why did Your Majesty suddenly find out?"

"It may not have just been discovered, it may be the plan of the empress, which is in line with His Majesty's purpose."

The old deer pondered for a moment, then said again.

"Or His Majesty deduces from the results, without evidence, whoever benefits will be suspected..."
