Chapter 164 Awakening

The dull death bell was like a thunderbolt, which made the ministers who had just walked out of the palace door fall to the ground in an instant and looked at the direction of the palace with a pale face. Many old ministers had left tears. Prince Ning could not care about the obstruction of several ministers and quickly walked to the palace.

Duanmu Lingrui knelt down in front of the bed, his face was unbelievable, and he clenched his fist tightly to control the trembling of his whole body. Originally, he was guarding outside the hall, but when he saw that the queen had not come out for so long, he asked Good to inform him, but he didn't want to shout outside for a long time. There was no movement inside. Finally, he was worried that something would happen to his father. He pushed the door and came in by himself, but saw a scene that made him scared. The emperor and the queen lay side by side* *, looked quiet and peaceful. If it hadn't been for the dark blood stains on the corners of his mouth, he would have suspected that they were just asleep. Goode leaned forward and knelt on the ground in horror: "Your Majesty...Empress..."

When Prince Ning came, the death knell had stopped ringing, and Duanmu Lingyu had also arrived at the Qianqing Palace.

"This is...what's going on?"

Duanmu Lingyu looked up and covered his heartache in his eyes: "Uncle, my father died, and my mother followed. I... I was very sad, and the funeral ceremony of the country bothered my uncle."

Prince Ning looked at ** in a frenze, and could vaguely see the two figures lying side by side through the mantle: "How come, the imperial doctor has not diagnosed it before, saying that the royal brother will not be so fast..."

"Uncle!" Duanmu Lingyu's voice was slightly too high, interrupting Prince Ning's words, "The Hou family ignores the royal family, despises the emperor's power, and should destroy the nine clans according to reason. Only the Hou family is the empress's mother's family, so as to avoid the disaster of annihilation. Men are exiled thousands of miles by the army, and women are slaves, and they are not allowed to leave slavery for generations!"

Prince Ning was stunned by Duanmu Lingyu's cold tone and reluctantly stabilized his mind. There was some speculation in his heart. The emperor and the queen passed away at the same time. If there was nothing involved in this, it would be impossible. The Hou family would not turn over this time.

Today's winter is particularly cold. In the past festivals, red lanterns and decorations were pierced everywhere, which made winter have a few more warm colors and feel better. However, today, the whole process of Yuhan does not have a single bright color, especially in Kyoto, which is full of ice and snow. The white and solemn atmosphere began in the imperial city and spread to the whole Kyoto and even the jade cold.

A generation of emperor Duan Muqing and the queen died on the same day. The people are deeply in love with the emperor and wife. Many people even compiled a book on this theme, which spread widely among the people of Kyoto. However, the ministers did keep their mouths about this matter and even subconsciously avoided it. They are all living as elite people. As soon as the queen passed away, the Hou family was raided, which means that their hearts had already been like a mirror. No matter what anyone said, they would be deaf and blind at this moment!

The national mourning lasted for seven days. After seven days of suspension, Duanmu Lingyu personally helped the spirit to the king's mausoleum and buried the queen together. At the same time, he also moved out the tomb of Wanfei and reburied it not far from the king's mausoleum. It is known that the mother's spring can be relieved now...

Three months later, Duanmu Lingyu officially ascended the throne, and this year became the first year of Chengqian. After experiencing a turmoil, Yu Han finally got on the right track.

In the Ninglu Hall, Prince Duanmu Lingrui took a sip of tea and looked at Wei Xi beside him: "The emperor hasn't come out yet?"

"I told the prince that the master and Lord Mu have not come out since they entered."

Duanmu Lingrui sighed, and a trace of heaviness flashed in his eyes. Too much happened during this period. Too much happened. His father and mother died on the same day, and the eldest prince and the second prince were entangled and rebelled, but he calmed down without much effort. It was also the first time he knew that the power of the emperor was so great. Most of the two brothers were planted by the emperor. Now Yuhan is stable, and the two royal brothers are also imprisoned, but he can't be happy at all.

The reason is naturally because of the elegance in Zhuanghua Palace. Originally, I thought she was dead, but I didn't expect to breathe slowly after her. Although her body was still cold, there was a warmth in my heart. If it hadn't been for his determination, he would have burned her to death as a monster! Alas, but even if he thinks about it, I'm afraid the emperor won't allow it even if he works hard! He now goes out to court and meet the minister every day. He spends the rest of his time with Mu Qingya. He doesn't know where he heard that talking can awaken people's consciousness. He even spends two hours a day talking with Mu Qingya, and even sleeps on the small couch next to Mu Qingya at night. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he never believed it. Someone can do so because of a woman, and now that he sees it, he is very moved, but more has a headache, because Duanmu Lingyu is an emperor! The emperor's feelings are too heavy. Is Mu Qingya worth doing this?

At this time, in Zhuanghua Palace, Duanmu Lingyu stood quietly aside, with the majesty in his eyes, leaving only unremitable melancholy and heartache: "Lord Mu, I'm sorry for Qingya!"

Mu Yizhi stood in front of Mu Qingya's bed and quietly looked at the person without a trace of blood, as if he had suddenly become ten years old, and his majestic eyes were slowly stained with tears: "Your Majesty... How could my son become like this?"

Danmu Lingyu clenched her hands into fists and scratched a trace of pain in her eyes: "It's my fault. I didn't expect that she would be taken away by Duanmu Lingxuan to threaten me. She drank poisoned wine to save me!"

Mu Yi suddenly closed his eyes and raised a deep gully in his eyebrows. He didn't expect that it would become like this overnight. Mu Jinglan and Mu Shiling finally found it, but they didn't know why they lost their minds. Up to now, they still look crazy, and Mu Qingya, whom he valued most, has become life and death now. What he looks like, he is a father's dereliction of duty!

"Weichen wants to take Qingya back for cultivation."

Duanmu Lingyu's body stiffened: "I won't allow it!"

A trace of anger flashed in Mu Yizhi's eyes: "Your Majesty, Weichen's daughter is already in such a situation. Naturally, I will support her for a lifetime, so I won't bother the emperor!"

Duanmu Lingyu was silent for a long time, but his eyes were unprecedentedly firm: "Lord Mu, I will marry Qingya as the queen!"

"What?" Mu Yizhi's eyes widened in disbelief and could hardly believe his ears, "Your Majesty, you just said..."

Duanmu Lingyu looked up and looked directly into Mu Yizhi's eyes: "Lord Mu heard well. I said that I would marry Mu Qingya as the queen!"

"How can this be?" Mu Yizhi almost jumped up in shock, "Your Majesty, are you going to force Qingya to die? Not to mention Qingya's current situation, even if she is fine and her status is not worthy of you, let alone now... What will the minister of the court think? Originally, when the emperor was alive, there were rumors in the palace that Mu Qingya was out of stock. Although it was only spread for a few days, many people still knew that if the emperor said that he would marry Mu Qingya at this time, I'm afraid that those ministers would ask the emperor to kill her as soon as possible!

Duanmu Lingyu snorted coldly: "I am now the emperor. Who will be the decide who I want to marry!" He has been preparing for more than ten years to ascend the throne. Now his power has been deeply rooted, and his control of things in the court has reached an unprecedented level. He has the ability to spread his wings to protect his beloved.

Mu Yizhi sighed and felt a pain in his heart: officially, he thought you were the emperor, so Qingya would be more dangerous.

"Your Majesty, please forgive my rudeness. Looking at today's scene, I think you fell in love with Qingya before, so why was Qingya still taken away? Now, how can you guarantee that no one has harmed her?"

Duanmu Lingyu chokingly: "Lord Mu, what you said is reasonable. No matter how strong my power is, I can't guarantee that Qingya will not be hurt at all, but I can guarantee that as long as I live, Qingya will definitely live!"

Mu Yi was shocked, and his eyes flashed in disbelief. What does the emperor mean...

At the door, the report sounded. Duanmu Lingyu stepped aside and raised his voice, "Come in!"

Leqi came in with a tray: "Your Majesty, the imperial dining room has just cooked easy-to-eat porridge."

Duanmu Lingyu nodded, brought the porridge over to test the temperature, and went straight to Mu Qingya's bedside. In Mu Yi's surprised eyes, he lowered his head with a mouthful of porridge and covered Mu Qingya's lips, and passed the porridge to Mu Qingya mouth to mouth!

Looking at the scene in front of him, Mu Yizhi no longer knew how to react. Seeing that his daughter was frivolous, he was already angry as a father, but looking at Duanmu Lingyu with a pious expression, he actually felt that the emperor in front of him was very pitiful. If he insisted on telling her to take her away, even if he did not collapse, he was afraid that he would be No more smiles. He did this to prove to himself that they eat and sleep together. If someone wants to harm Mu Qingya, he will also bear this damage. It is really rare for an emperor to be able to do so!

In the end, Mu Yizhi did not take Mu Qingya away and returned to Mu's home alone, followed by a girl who became Mu Qingya. Although the emperor promised her to marry Mu Qingya, if they really let the ministers know Mu Qingya's current scene, they may not agree to be killed in front of Chengqian Gate, so they have to let someone temporarily replace Mu Qingya first. Although they are unwilling to wrong their daughter, this is also the best way.

After dealing with the affairs of the Mu family, Duanmu Lingyu's life is more regular, but he handed over most of the government affairs to Duanmu Lingrui to deal with, and he accompanied Mu Qingya for a moment, and the anxiety between his eyebrows became heavier and heavier day by day.

In the past few days, Mu Qingya's body has weakened day by day, and a group of royal doctors have been summoned, but there is nothing they can do. If Duanmu Lingrui hadn't stopped those ministers, they would have been cut off by Duanmu Lingyu! Just when he finally couldn't help it, Wei Xi sent the news: "Master Huitong has been found!"
