At the main entrance of Chengqian Palace, Xiao Liuzi was crying and directing the eunuch to hang white silk. It was not until Zhao Sansi got closer that Xiao Liuzi hurried up to salute, asked for peace, and then she burst into tears, "Your Highness, the emperor... the emperor has passed away at the third hour of Mao day today."

At the third hour of Mao... If she wakes up a little longer, she will still be able to see the emperor's brother for the last time.

"You...you nonsense, you...all nonsense." Zhao Sansi ran anxiously, his emotions fluctuated and he was sweating all over. With the support of the little eunuch next to him, he did not fall down. "I looked at the emperor's complexion yesterday... yesterday... yesterday..."

Xiao Liuzi nodded and swallowed without making a sound. The emperor's illness was already powerless to turn the world. Yesterday, his complexion was in good spirits. Only this silly prince really thought that the emperor's illness had improved. Everyone else knew that this was a return.

He didn't say anything, Zhao Sansi's eyes turned red and he staggered and continued to walk inside.

A group of palace maids and eunuchs were kneeling outside the bedroom, all of whom were sobbing in a low voice. Zhao Sansi felt his head buzzing. When he was going up the steps, he stepped on a step and staggered for a moment.

"Your Highness..." The person beside her was one step late, and her forehead hit the steps in front.

Zhao Sansi couldn't hear a word from the palace servant, and the bag that had already been bulging on his forehead did not hurt. After standing firm, he stumbled in and walked in again.

In the early morning of early summer, this spot was already bright, but the oil lamps in the bedroom were still no one to cut. In the quiet bedroom, Li Zhongxian was still kneeling in front of the dragon couch, holding a cloth towel and wiping Zhao Jin's hands, muttering something.

"Brother..." Zhao Sansi could no longer suppress it, and screamed with a strong crying voice. His whole body softened, and he knelt down and crawled towards the dragon couch.

Li Zhongxian paused for a moment, looked back at him, and before he got up, he knelt down and gave him a simple gift. There were tears in his eyes and his lips moved, and he couldn't cry. He entered the palace at the age of ten, worked in the palace at the age of fifteen, and accompanied the late emperor to wait for Zhao Jin's cry in Changning Palace. Later, although he went to the late emperor's palace to serve Zhao Jin, he still watched Zhao Jin grow up with his own eyes. Although he had been serving in his own hands for five years, he only had the deepest friendship for this master. Now, he is even more sad when he sends a white-haired man to the black-haired man.

The person on the dragon couch had not covered his face with yellow cloth, his eyes were closed and his face was in a tragic manner. Zhao Sansi had seen such a dead person with no rest three times, whether it was her mother or the Madam Sun who took care of her, she looked like this when she died.

Although she had already expected it, Zhao Sansi still felt a little unacceptable when she saw this scene with her own eyes. When the mother died, she could still rely on the nanny; when the nanny died, although she had never seen the emperor's brother, she still knew in her heart that she still had someone close to her.

But now...

Holding Zhao Jin's already cold hand, Zhao Sansi completely collapsed and could no longer suppress it, "Brother, wake up quickly... wake up quickly..."

"Your Highness, calm down." Zhao Sansi cried so hard that Li Zhongxian could only comfort her with tears, and stood up and pulled her away, "You are the crown prince, and now... you are carrying great things on your shoulders. You must take care of your body and make the emperor feel at ease."

"I don't want the emperor's brother to die...I don't want him to die..."

"Your Highness." Li Zhongxian interrupted her with a voice, "Please feel sorry for me."

Zhao Sansi bit his lips and said nothing, staring at Zhao Jin on the bed but was unwilling to move his eyes.

They were all people who were extremely sad, and Li Zhongxian was unable to persuade her. He couldn't help but kneel away from her stubbornness, so he followed her to kneel on the edge of the bed, and continued to wipe Zhao Jin's hands and feet with a cloth towel.

Soon, the concubines of each palace received a letter. The first one was Gu Xizhao from Changle Palace. Even though she had always been calm and prepared, she couldn't help but soften her body when she saw the body of Emperor Daxing. Li Zhongxian, who was saluting, quickly stood up and supported her, and swallowed, "Empress..."

Gu Xizhao closed her eyes and whispered, "Senior Brother..."

"Empress, Your Highness is already crying. Be careful. At this critical moment, you must not fall down..." Li Zhongxian couldn't help feeling sad, "The emperor loved the empress the most during his lifetime..."

Gu Xizhao raised her head slightly, and covered her face with a veil. After a while, she suppressed her emotions. "Have your highness received the news?"

Li Zhongxian wiped his tears with Gu Xizhao on his back, his eyes were still red, but his emotions had recovered. He was the chief executive, and he was mostly busy with his work. "Your Highness came here early and cried a few times in front of the bed. The old slave was really worried, so he took the slave to take him to the West Warehouse."

Gu Xizhao pointed, "I will come and take a look."

Li Zhongxian nodded hurriedly and helped her to the west warmhouse, "I would like to advise Your Highness more, the emperor... The emperor is helpless, but... "

As he said that, Li Zhongxian swallowed even more, and in order not to lose his composure in front of others, he had to stop talking.

Gu Xizhao didn't mind either and said softly: "I understand, father-in-law doesn't need to say much." After that, she turned her head slightly and glanced at Li Zhongxian, "I know that my father-in-law has always been dedicated to the emperor. Now that the emperor has passed away, I hope my father-in-law will take care of himself. Your Highness is young, so I will definitely help you next."

Li Zhongxian paused for a moment before saying respectfully: "Empress Xie is worried, I can save you the old slave."

This is really thoughtful and he cannot help but be moved. Although they are slaves who are right, they can eat and drink delicious food and live better than some unpopular masters, but slaves are slaves. Others will praise you when they see you as powerful, but no one in this deep palace will truly respect you. If these words are said from some unpopular palace concubines, Li Zhongxian will listen to them as a polite word, but from the mouth of this Concubine Xi who never needs to curry favor with anyone, it seems a little more sincere.

While speaking, Li Zhongxian helped the person to the Xihun Pavilion. The crying Zhao Sansi was still sitting on the chair sobbing, his eyes swollen like walnuts, and his voice became hoarse. The little eunuch who was serving her was comforting her and wiping her tears.

Zhao Sansi cried so hard that he turned a blind eye to the matter outside the window. Gu Xizhao and the others didn't know that they had come in. The little eunuch beside him was a little more intelligent and had seen someone coming in, so he hurriedly went up to salute.

Hearing the little eunuch's voice "Concubine Xi", Zhao Sansi took his hand away, looked up at Gu Xizhao, and was stunned for a moment, then jumped off the chair, rushed over and hugged Gu Xizhao and cried loudly: "Niu... Concubine, Emperor... Brother..."

She had cried for so long, and she burped as soon as she opened her mouth. Her long burp was as if she could not breathe, which made Gu Xizhao feel distressed and didn't care about being rude and unconventional. She patted her back with one hand and took a veil in the other hand to wipe her tears: "Your Highness doesn't cry, don't cry, don't hurry, say slowly, I'll listen."

"Concubine..." Listening to her gentle words, Zhao Sansi's heart that had been floating in fear of nervousness seemed to have come true. She buried her head in her chest and burst into tears.

She never cried like this when her mother died; she never cried like this when her mother died; today, in this gentle and sweet embrace, she seemed to vent her fear, grievance and tears she had hidden over the years.

The screaming of hissing was in her ears, and she was silenced, but Gu Xizhao didn't frown. She understood the emotions in her crying, so she felt distressed.

"Mom..." Li Zhongxian saw her and let the crown prince cry like this, and was a little anxious. Just as he was about to ask her to persuade some people, Gu Xizhao shrew at him and said with his lips: "Just cry..."

Li Zhongxian moved his lips, but he didn't say anything. He lowered his eyes and sighed, then called the palace servants inside to go out, leaving Zhu'er waiting aside.

Gu Xizhao didn't say anything. After the person left, she helped Zhao Sansi sit on the couch, waiting patiently for her to cry out all the emotions in her heart. It was not until Zhao Sansi's crying slowed down that she took a veil to wipe her tears: "Your Highness, you're not afraid."

Zhao Sansi still didn't want to look up. After a while, he sobbed and said, "I don't want the emperor to die, and I don't want to be the emperor..."

How can the world be as satisfactory? Gu Xizhao sighed in her heart, but she knew that the ignorant prince at the moment could not listen to these principles. She turned her eyes and pushed the person away a little, lowered her head to look at her, "Your Highness, do you believe me?"

Zhao Sansi's eyes were now swollen and could not even open it. He specifically avoided her gaze, turned his head to the side, and nodded in a muffled voice.

"Since I believe in me, I will tell you today that you will be a wise monarch like your royal brother in the future, and you will let Dazhao go to another better prosperous era."

Zhao Sansi suddenly looked back at her, and then she noticed that unlike Concubine Xi who had seen in the past, she only used two golden hairpins to tie her hair up with her hair, today she only used two golden hairpins to tie her hair up, and was dressed in plain clothes, which was so beautiful that it was very strange.

"I believe in Your Highness. Does Your Highness believe in me?"

Zhao Sansi lowered his head and buckled the eyes of the Qilin Jade Pendant hanging on his belt. He thought of the words his emperor brother said that he had a deep relationship with the imperial concubine. He felt a little disappointed and a little discouraged: "Consort, don't comfort me, I know... I can't even compare to my emperor brother's finger..."

"Your emperor brother succeeded to the throne at the age of 24. At that time, the Qin family controlled the government affairs. The two years before your emperor brother succeeded to the throne, he was also frightened. Your Highness only reached fourteen this year. In comparison, your highness is normal now. Look, you are ten years younger than your emperor brother. If you count this way, are you very powerful?"

After saying that, Gu Xizhao was stunned for the first time. Such a small congratulation was actually said from her.

Zhao Sansi didn't think she was trying to please her, but she felt that Concubine Xi was very gentle in front of her, which made her heart beat faster inexplicably. She rolled her tongue and asked without thinking about the words:

"Will the imperial concubine stay by my side like she is with her royal brother?"
