Ape had never heard of such a point of view, and felt that the master would be happy if he heard what she just said.
"However, I should risk my life to protect the Crown Princess. I am a member of the East Palace. I eat the rice from the East Palace and receive the salary from the East Palace. I should die of exhaustion."
Leng Xiao said with a smile: "Just work hard and die, there is no need to die. Everyone has only one life. You come to this world once. You can't die for others easily. Ape, life is so wonderful. Don't do it for anyone." People miss out.”
Ape is very strange, living for himself? She is from the East Palace, so she naturally lives for the East Palace and the Crown Princess.
However, when the princess said this, she felt very moved in her heart, and she felt that she was not following the wrong person.
"Lu Zhilan back then, Qi Baixing and Hong Lingling today, neither His Highness nor I recognize them. Everyone outside knows that they have not been favored. They have a better way out after leaving the East Palace. This is the escape path I left for them. , but if they don’t want it and want to compete with me, then I will not give in, and I will not be soft when necessary.”
Ape nodded firmly, "Yes, they are not worthy."
Leng Xiao smiled and said nothing.
The condition of the prince of the town has taken a turn for the worse. Several imperial doctors have examined and treated him, and they all said that it might be the last few days.
After the political affairs were discussed in the court, some officials talked about it. This old man was once the pillar of the Wei Kingdom. He led the cavalry across the northern border and quelled civil strife. He was deeply loved by civil and military officials. Supported and loved by the people.
There was solemnity and solemnity in the court hall, and the emperor sighed deeply. He had been mentally prepared for it a few years ago, but when this moment came, he still couldn't accept it.
When he first ascended the throne, he encountered many difficulties. Many officials had followed King Ye and believed that King Ye was the most suitable candidate to be emperor.
The officials were divided into gangs and refused to accept his orders. Fortunately, the old prince came forward and the palace angrily rebuked those disobedient ministers. Later, at the age of sixty-five, he took over the military power for him, regained the morale of the army, and shocked everyone. Only this throne can be securely seated.
He also worked hard to quell the Northern Rebellion and regain the lost territory that had been taken away by the previous dynasty, leaving a glorious legacy for him as the emperor in the history of the Wei Dynasty.
However, this giant of the Wei Dynasty is now subject to birth, old age, illness and death. How can it not be uncomfortable?
The emperor did not announce his resignation, but stood up and left with a solemn look. Returning to the imperial study, he told Eunuch Qing to prepare for his journey. He wanted to leave the palace to visit King Zhen.
After a pause, he went to Mu Ci Palace to report to the Empress Dowager.
After hearing this, the Queen Mother wiped away her tears and said, "The old prince has always liked Ah Yi, but now that he is seriously ill, Ah Yi is not in Beijing, and I don't know if I can come back to see him for the last time."
"He is out on business and will be back in a few days. I will go visit his old man today. If the situation is really serious, I will send someone to call the prince back."
The Empress Dowager said: "The Ai family should also go out and accompany the old aunt. She and her uncle have always been in love, but now that my uncle is like this... she must be the most uncomfortable."
The emperor nodded slightly, paused and then said: "The prince is not here, maybe he can ask the prince to accompany his mother."
The Empress Dowager shook her head, "No need. Leng Xiao sent someone to the King's Mansion to post a message earlier, but the uncle was not there. Since he is someone whom the uncle doesn't like, there is no need to bring him there to anger the old man."
