In the Qianqing Palace, between opening and closing the door, Li Chen seemed to have entered an isolated world.
The world outside is full of ice and snow, and everything is freezing cold.
In the Qianqing Palace, it has always been warm as spring, but the air is inevitably dull, as if it has entered a pool of thick stagnant water. What is especially uncomfortable is the strong smell of medicine permeating the air. This smell is so strong and heavy. , I am afraid that in the future, the entire Qianqing Palace will have to be renovated to solve the problem.
It can be seen how much medicine Emperor Daxing drank and how many crimes he suffered in these years.
In the large and empty Qianqing Palace, the redundant decorations have long been removed, leaving only some necessities, so it seems out of place with other palaces in the Qin Palace.
Imperial palaces are all about grandeur, but in the Qianqing Palace, which was the core of the emperor's rest, everything was dilapidated and old.
As if a towering tree is finally coming to an end after experiencing countless winds and rains, a deep decaying air pervades every inch of the Qianqing Palace.
The empty Qianqing Palace had only a few maids and eunuchs responsible for guarding it.
The real purpose of these people's existence is to monitor whether Emperor Daxing has passed away.
It's cruel to say, but it's the truth.
Li Chen entered, waved his hands, and the others bowed and retreated silently.
Li Chen stepped forward to the dragon bed. As the distance approached, the haggard Emperor Daxing on the bed gradually became clearer.
If the last time Li Chen saw Emperor Daxing, although he looked miserable, he still looked a little human, but now, he didn't even look human at all.
The dry and cracked skin sticks to the bones, and there is almost no flesh on the whole body. The cheeks and eye sockets are sunken, making the bridge of the nose appear particularly prominent. Because there is almost no flesh on the face, the head looks particularly big and scary.
Li Chen stepped forward, and he could feel that Emperor Daxing was still breathing at this time, but it was very, very weak, like a candle in the wind, and might stop in the next second.
At this moment, Li Chen didn't know what to say.
After stopping for a long time, Li Chen sighed softly.
"Father, my son is back."
Li Chen's tone was calm, without any sadness.
"This time, I went to Yueyang Pass and ate 600,000 elites of the Liao Kingdom, causing the crown prince of the Liao Kingdom, Yelu Shenxuan, to flee. The only regret was that he could not keep Yelu Shenxuan. Maybe he The fate should not be cut off, or maybe he is destined to be my old enemy and not so easy to deal with, but no matter what, after this battle, the Liao Kingdom will not be able to recover for at least a few years."
"In addition, I also killed Prince Ning."
Li Chen's tone had no ups and downs, as calm as if he was reading a line of text.
"If Prince Ning doesn't kill me, I will definitely come back alive without my life. Whether it's for myself or for the country, the country, and the country, he must die."
"It's just that Prince Ning is easy to kill, but the consequences of his death are not so easy to bear. It is foreseeable that other vassal kings in the country will be unable to sit still. I don't know whether the country will be overturned by then or what."
Taking a deep breath and exhaling slowly, Li Chen said: "But no matter what, this battle has finally stabilized the border areas, and I can finally free up my hands to rectify the country."
