Li Chen sat there all night without closing his eyes, but Li Chen didn't feel tired.
He only has a sense of urgency.
In the early morning, people finally came outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
It's Su Jinpa.
When Su Jinpa saw the scene in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, he was also shocked.
"Your Majesty, he..."
Looking at the two people sitting on the dragon chair, Emperor Daxing tilted his head and leaned on Li Chen's shoulder, while Su Jinpa covered his mouth and exclaimed.
Nodding, Li Chen said: "He died last night."
Su Jinpa took a breath, and for a moment he felt like his heart was in a mess.
"What should we do now?"
Su Jinpa looked at Li Chen, his eyes full of worry.
She knew very well how big the responsibility was on this man's shoulders. The rise and fall of a country, the honor and disgrace all depended on him, and the wealth and life of countless people depended on him. There were too many entangled interests, and an empire had experienced ups and downs over the past three hundred years.
All the conflicts and problems accumulated by Yu need to be solved and faced by this man.
But now, the emperor has passed away, and as the prince, he faces not only the turmoil of the empire, but also the uncertainty and risks of the change of imperial power, and the cruelty of the death of a father and son.
Su Jinpa couldn't imagine how much pressure Li Chen was under at this moment, but there were too many things that required Li Chen to make decisions personally, so no matter how hard he couldn't bear it, Su Jinpa would also remind Li Chen to get out of the haze and take business as his priority.
Heavy.
Seeing Su Jinpa's thoughts, Li Chen said warmly: "I have already made arrangements. Don't worry, nothing big will happen."
Su Jinpa breathed a sigh of relief.
"At this time, you are the most stressed and the most uncomfortable, but you are also the one who needs to stand up the most."
Su Jinpa said softly: "If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight."
Li Chen stood up and supported Emperor Daxing's body to prevent him from falling. In fact, after such a long time, Emperor Daxing's body had begun to become stiff and rigor mortis appeared.
Li Chen sighed again, carried Emperor Daxing on his back, and walked down the imperial steps.
Walking up to Su Jinpa, Li Chen said: "Go call a sedan and carry it directly to the entrance of the Hall of Supreme Harmony."
"Besides, everything is business as usual at Qianqing Palace, no clues can be revealed."
Upon hearing this, Su Jinpa immediately reacted and said: "This is..."
"Secrets don't send out mourning."
Li Chen said calmly: "At this time, no one can afford the consequences of the death of my father. The vassal kings in the world will instantly swarm and it will be impossible to suppress him."
As if he had thought of something, Li Chen smiled bitterly and said: "If I had known that today would be like this, I would not have killed King Ning. When King Ning died, my father died at this juncture. The vassal king who was already angry and panicked.
Can you still bear it? Even if it is for their own survival, they will fight with me to the end."
"It's a pity that the most difficult thing in this world is the words 'I should have known'."
Su Jinpa thought very quickly and immediately thought of the key issue and said: "Even so, I'm afraid this secret won't be kept secret for long."
Li Chen said calmly: "In three months, within three months at most, I will get rid of King Wen, and then... ascend the throne!"
Those last two words made Su Jinpa's heart suddenly beat hard several times.
She raised her head and looked at Li Chen. Once upon a time, the supreme authority was so close to him, almost within reach.
Ascend to the throne...
