The sky has faintly turned white.

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

This is the father whom the prince once truly admired.

But he never regretted the harm he had done to the prince until he died.

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

After doing this, she left the bedroom quietly.

Not long after she left, Ganfu came.

He opened the door and came in. When he saw the maid eunuch on duty still dozing off, his face immediately sank.

Gan Fu came forward to wake people up and whispered.

"Do you keep a vigil for the emperor? Everyone sleeps so dead that they can't wake up in case of thunder. Can you hear if the emperor calls you?"

The palace maids and eunuchs could not lift their heads after being trained, and they were even more nervous.

Everyone in Weiyang palace knows that the emperor feels shallow.

He'll wake up if the wind blows a little.

Even if nothing happened, he often woke up in the middle of the night, or was awakened by nightmares, or was thirsty for water.

Because of this, the maid Eunuch in charge of the night will certainly keep up her spirit and dare not slack off at all.

But I don't know what happened last night?

They fell asleep for no reason.

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

After Gan Fu finished his words, his anger dropped a little.

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

"Isn't the Emperor awake?"

The palace maids and eunuchs looked at each other.

One of them hesitated and said, "I don't think I'm awake yet."

They slept all night and just woke up. Who knows if the emperor woke up?

Gan Fu pointed to them and said, "wait and see how I can deal with you!"

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

Ganfu ignored them, went to the inner room and gently knocked on the door.

No response.

Gan Fu wondered, is the emperor still sleeping?

No.

The emperor always wakes up at dawn. He has never changed over the years.

Ganfu looked out of the window. It was already light.

But why isn't the Emperor awake?

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 uneasiness gradually expanded.

He put his hand on the door, pushed it away slowly and said.

"Your Majesty, the servant has come in."

The house was quiet.

Ganfu bypassed the screen and saw the emperor lying motionless on his bed. It looked like he was sleeping.

But Ganfu served the emperor for many years. He knew that the emperor was suspicious and alert. Once someone entered his room, he couldn't sleep so safely.

Gan Fu walked carefully to the bedside with full of anxiety.

He found that the emperor's face was blue and his lips were gray without a trace of blood.

It's like death.

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

"Your Majesty? Your majesty!"

The palace maids and eunuchs waiting outside the door were curious when they heard Gan Fu's cry. They couldn't help looking inside.

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

After calling his majesty several times in succession, Ganfu finally shivered and stretched out his fingers and put them under the emperor's nose.

No breath!

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

He stared at the emperor on the bed, shaking like chaff, and then a harsh cry sounded.

"The emperor died!"

This cry, like thunder, frightened many people.

The first to arrive at Weiyang palace were the imperial doctors.

Then came the masters of the palaces.

The Empress Dowager was also helped to come.

Seeing the emperor's body, the Empress Dowager cried and fainted on the spot.

The imperial doctors hurriedly helped people to the nearby low couch and lay down.

The concubines were crying and heartbroken.

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

Someone's mind is floating and wants to compete for the throne before the prince returns to the palace.

However, the queen mother soon woke up.

She said as she cried.

"Summon the cabinet and order them to enter the palace immediately. In addition, let people see how long the prince will go to Beijing?"

"Here!"

The Empress Dowager's eyes were red, and her eyes swept over the princes in front of her one by one.

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

In fact, these princes are the same to her. They are her own grandchildren. Whoever sits on the throne will not affect her as the Empress Dowager.

But now the prince is in command of 110000 troops. He has just won the war and his reputation is high. He will arrive in Shengjing immediately.

If someone suddenly jumps out to seize the throne at this time, the prince will not stop. It will be another disaster at that time.

The Empress Dowager didn't want things to go that far.

She pressed the red corners of her eyes with a silk handkerchief and whispered to the female historian around her.

"Order the forbidden guards to surround the Weiyang palace. They are only allowed to enter and not to leave."

"Here."

Weiyang palace was soon surrounded by the forbidden guards.

Before the Empress Dowager arrived at Weiyang palace, Xiao Xi had already left Weiyang palace.

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

Several carriages stopped at the gate of the palace. The old cabinet members jumped out of the car in a panic and ran quickly into the gate of the palace.

The guards had long been ordered to let them in without saying a word.

Xiao Xi passed these people.

She went out for a distance, stopped and looked back at the towering palace gate.

At the beginning, she walked into the door with the mood of dealing with the task.

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

She was reluctant to give up.

Xiao Xi slowly breathed out a breath and reluctantly took back his sight.

She first went to the loyal military general's house.

Xiao Lingfeng is still on duty in the palace at this time. The person who receives her is Xue.

Xue Shi looked a little embarrassed when he faced her.

"I didn't expect my mother to come back suddenly. I didn't go out to meet her. I'm not polite. I hope you'll forgive me."

Xiao Xixi asked, "where are Xiaolan and Qiming? I want to see them."

Xue Shi hurriedly asked someone to call Xiao Zhilan and Xiao Qiming.

Both of them were excited when they knew that their sister was coming.

But Xiao Qiming is at his most awkward age. Even if he is happy, he still pretends to ignore him.

Xiao Zhilan is much more clever and docile.

She called her sister sweetly.

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

Xiao Zhilan hurriedly asked, "where is your sister going?"

Xiao Zixi: "I'm going far away."

"When will you be back?"

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