(forty one)
Deng Sui clenched his hands tighter, as if he could keep something in this way.
When these words came out, a huge stone fell to Sunge's heart.
She had known that she would not be able to hide this from Deng Sui.
Moreover, she did not want to hide it from Deng Sui.
Deng Sui should be mentally prepared for both public and private matters.
The death of an emperor is by no means an ordinary event.
Especially for an emperor who has no heirs and no heir apparent, once he dies, it will be a big event for the court and the world.
After all, who doesn't want to have overwhelming power and immortal merits of following the dragon.
The ministers can be caught off guard, but Deng Sui must be aware of it.
Liu Hu, who went on a hunger strike in the mansion and pretended to be crazy, was summoned to the palace.
Liu Hu: My life is at stake!
In just a few days, Liu Hu lost a lot of weight, and suddenly felt a bit thinner and colder.
Like willows by the lake, and like dew-covered grass in the valley. It's a bit like an outsider who doesn't like the fireworks of the world.
"Queen Mother."
"His Majesty."
Liu Hu saluted resignedly.
As long as you are not afraid of death, nothing is difficult in the world!
Well, he is afraid!
"Get up."
Deng Sui said calmly.
Liu Hu and Deng Sui were no strangers.
In recent years, Liu Hu seems to be really different.
There was a clear and pure fear of death in his eyes, with no unwillingness or ambition. Like a clear spring, you can even count the number of koi carp wandering around.
This alone was enough for Deng Sui to judge that Liu Hu was more transparent than his former Qinghe King Liu Qing.
"I'd better kneel down."
Liu Hu was so miserable that he wanted to cry but had no tears.
Mainly because my legs are weak and I can't stand up.
On the one hand, I am hungry, on the other hand, I am afraid.
Sunge suppressed a smile and winked at the palace attendant beside him, signaling the palace attendant to help Liu Hu up.
Liu Hu's personal experience proves that if you have things hidden in your heart and cannot eat or sleep, you can lose weight!
Liu Hu sat aside tremblingly, not daring to express his anger.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that what he said that day was His Majesty trying to test him.
Is Queen Mother Deng planning to settle old scores?
"Don't be afraid!"
Deng Sui sighed, quite speechless.
It seems that this day is not yet the time for people to shiver from the cold.
Liu Hu: He is afraid!
Liu Hu's lips trembled and he said tremblingly, "I'm not afraid."
"The Queen Mother and Your Majesty announced today that I will come to the palace to have an audience. I am frightened."
Not only scared, but also scared to death.
Sunge's eyes twitched and she suppressed a smile, "Cousin, are you cold?"
Cousin, are you hot-eyed?
For a moment, Liu Hu couldn't tell what night it was.
At this moment, the past and reality seemed to have a strange intersection.
"cold?"
"not cold?"
Liu Hu was a little unsure.
"Cousin, the widow and the queen don't want to kill you to cheer you up, so you don't have to be afraid." Sun Ge explained unbearably.
Friendships between foxes and dogs are also feelings.
Liu Hu: Is life worse than death?
Liu Hu felt that his psychological activities had never been so rich.
Deng Sui and Sunge looked at each other, full of suspicion.
I have never been so timid before.
"The widow and the Queen Mother announced your entry into the palace today for the same reason."
"Are you willing to inherit the throne from me, be filial to the Queen Mother, be humble and low-key, and become the Queen Mother's arm?"
Neither she nor Deng Sui needed Liu Hu to be smart and capable, but they must keep to themselves.
Liu Hu quickly bowed his head and said respectfully, "I am vulgar and superficial, have no ambition, have limited talents and limited knowledge, are indecisive, and cannot be promoted."
Suddenly I felt that I was being raped by my aunt
It’s not that hard to accept being forced to spread out your garden in the backyard.
"These are all advantages." Sunge exclaimed.
"My cousin is as good as the stars, so he is the most suitable one."
"Don't worry, cousin, I am not testing you, I sincerely want to choose you."
She saw Liu Hu's fear in her eyes.
Obviously, Liu Hu still felt that she and Deng Sui were testing whether he was loyal and ambitious.
"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, I can't do this."
Liu Hu declined.
A few years earlier, he might have accepted it happily and even wished he could tell the world about it immediately and celebrate it.
But, today is different from the past.
He has grown up!
"Both the widow and the Queen Mother think you can do it."
Sunge said firmly.
"Then why doesn't Your Majesty be the Queen Mother's backing and arm yourself?"
Liu Hu blurted out.
The mouth flies in front, and the brain chases behind.
What gave him the courage to question His Majesty in front of the decisive Queen Mother Deng?
Empress Dowager Deng was able to take control of the court in just a few years because of more than just benevolence and love for the people.
Sunge spread his hands and said frankly, "I'm going to die soon."
Liu Hu:!?(??_??;?
Sunge's overly candid words sounded like a heavy blow to Liu Hu's ears.
The light in Deng Sui's eyes also dimmed a little.
Liu Hu had mixed emotions, including surprise, fear, and sadness coming from all directions.
He knew that His Majesty was not born with a long life span, but he never thought that it would be so short.
Quite a teenager!
"The imperial doctor has superb medical skills and is able to rejuvenate his body. He also has a collection of life-extending medicinal materials. How could it be possible? How could it be possible?"
Liu Hu's absent-minded murmur also represented Deng Sui's mood.
Yes, how could it be?
Sunge stood up, stood beside Liu Hu, and said sincerely, "What I said is true. Medicine and stone can't cure it."
"But I really can't bear to worry about my mother facing the wind, frost, rain and snow of the big man alone."
"The most important thing is that among the clans, princes and kings, I only believe in you."
"I only hope that you can support my mother unconditionally, so that she can support the man through successive years of natural disasters, and also let her have no worries."
Liu Hu was silent. For a moment, he couldn't refuse.
"Cousin, please think again."
When did this throne become a hot potato?
But it's normal, inheriting her position will not give you great power.
Deng Sui was at his peak in the Spring and Autumn Period, and he was proclaimed the ruler of the country.
In the future, Liu Hu will only have the name of emperor and no real power as emperor.
Liu Hu frowned slightly, "Is there really no cure, no way to save the day?"
Sunge nodded.
Liu Hu did not refuse, nor did he agree immediately.
He was also thinking, weighing the pros and cons.
He just wants to live and live better.
Sunge didn't urge him and waited quietly.
"I am willing to imitate Your Majesty and be loyal to the Queen Mother."
"There is only one wish. If the Queen Mother is afraid one day, she can depose me, but I hope I can save my life."
Liu Hu bravely put forward his request.
He knew that he might be the most suitable choice in His Majesty's mind, but he was by no means Queen Mother Deng's only retreat.
Deng Sui glanced at Liu Hu indifferently, "Yes."
Sheng'er didn't trust her, that's why she worked so hard.
For her, it doesn't make much difference who she chooses.
At worst, she suppressed it with her power, but a hundred years later, it might be a little miserable.
In this life, she was so virtuous and capable that she could have the late emperor as her husband and have a son like Sheng'er.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you Queen Mother for your kindness."
Liu Hu knelt on the ground again, solemnly
A big bow.
The emperor in name only is also the most noble person in the world.
