The Empress Dowager sat on the edge of the dragon couch and stared at Huo Tiange.

Tang Guang bowed and stood aside.

The queen was crying and she was wandering and helpless.

The palace maids and eunuchs kneeling on the ground stopped trembling at this moment, and felt a glimmer of hope.

They eagerly hope that the Southern King would arrive and be able to save the emperor, so they would not have to be buried with him.

Time passes by little by little, extremely slow.

The Empress Dowager looked at Huo Tiange quietly, with a focused and peaceful expression, and said softly: "The Emperor has been strong since he was a child. He has never given up when he grew up. He has always wanted to be the emperor, but he has always been unhappy."

Tang Guang nodded slightly.

He grew up with Huo Tiange since childhood. He was originally the eunuch by the Empress Dowager and was the most capable.

Since Huo Tiange became emperor, he has been depressed.

He knew the reason.

It’s not because the Southern King is powerful, the emperor doesn’t care about the Southern King’s power, and thinks that the Southern King is the Southern King and Da Yong is the Dayong.

The southern border was originally a drag on Da Yong, but now it is no longer a drag on it. It is nothing to just give it to the Southern King.

The emperor was depressed because after reaching the goal, he was at a loss in his heart, as if he had climbed to the top of a mountain and had no way to go.

The emperor may have longed to be an emperor since he was a child, and has been working hard for it as his ultimate goal.

After a lot of hardships, I finally achieved it and was completely satisfied.

But after being satisfied, there will be no goals, no motivation, and I can't be energetic all day.

Moreover, being an emperor is hard and boring, with more trouble than fun, and he becomes more unhappy.

What the emperor likes is the emperor's position, not the emperor's life.

"If I had known this, I would rather not be this emperor." The Empress Dowager sighed softly: "The Ai family would rather not be the emperor."

She turned her head and looked at Tang Guang: "What have he always wanted to do?"

Tang Guang whispered: "The emperor said that his happiest days were in Zhenbei City and the happiest days in the army."

"Yes..." the Empress Dowager sighed: "That's what he is like. He should be a general, not an emperor."

Tang Guang remained silent.

Being an emperor is not happy, but not being an emperor is not happy.

Don’t be depressed, the emperor will never agree to give up the throne and become the emperor.

Who in the world can give up the throne?

"Oh--!" The Empress Dowager pulled Huo Tiange's left hand and groped gently, with a sad face and tears in her eyes.

The needles fell in the bedroom can be heard, but only the empress dowager murmured, which seemed empty and lonely.

After a while, Tang Guang suddenly whispered: "Empress Dowager, Your Highness, the Queen Mother of the Southern King has arrived."

"Please come in with the Southern King."

"yes."

Tang Guang walked rapidly, and settled silently, opening the door of the bedroom.

After a moment, the footsteps rang out.

Li Chengkong followed Tang Guang's big strides into the bedroom.

His face was as deep as water, and he held his fists at the Empress Dowager and the Queen: "Shuchen is one step later."

"King Nan, look at the emperor."

The Empress Dowager raised her jade hand and signaled that she didn't have to be too polite and stood up to get out of the way.

The queen hurriedly wiped her tears, took two steps back and gave up the place for Li Chengkong, and asked him to sit next to the couch.

Li Chengkong sat next to the dragon couch, reached out to put his hand on Huo Tianting's wrist, closed his eyes, and his face became even more gloomy.

Suddenly, the shadow of fingers covered Huo Tiange, and it seemed as if hundreds of fingers were pointed out. The Empress Dowager was dazzled and hope increased greatly.

Huo Tiange trembled, but then he was silent.

Li Chengkong withdrew his palms and his face turned gloomy as iron.

"Your Highness of the Southern King?" The Empress Dowager was stunned and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty?"

Li Chengkong sighed and shook his head and said, "I'm late, the emperor is already powerless to turn things around."

"..." The Empress Dowager looked at him and then at Huo Tiange.

Li Chengkong nodded: "The emperor, Longzhu, has returned to heaven!"

"Emperor——!" The queen suddenly burst into tears and threw herself on Huo Tiange.

The Empress Dowager stared at Li Chengkong in a daze.

Li Chengkong sighed ashamed: "Empress Dowager, I am sorry."

The Empress Dowager turned around and looked at Huo Tiange who was still moving.

"Emperor——!" Tang Guangruanmiankang to the ground.

He originally had great hope for Li Chengkong, because Li Chengkong's secret point was really magical and had saved the emperor once.

He felt that Li Chengkong could save the emperor this time.

That's why I'm so calm and comfortable.

Now that I heard this bad news, I felt like thunder, my mind was blank, my whole body was so soft that I couldn't use any strength, and I fell softly.

The Empress Dowager stared at Li Chengkong unwillingly: "King Nan, is there really nothing I can do?"

Li Chengkong sighed and shook his head.

"Emperor——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

The Empress Dowager was upset when she heard this.

Li Chengkong stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Empress Dowager, I will leave."

"Ai's family will see you off." The Empress Dowager stood up and walked through the palace maids and eunuchs who had collapsed to the ground, and sent Li Chengkong outside the bedroom.

Li Chengkong said: "Eunuch Tang, come on."

"Tang Guang!" the Empress Dowager shouted.

Tang Guang struggled to hold up and moved to the palace gate with difficulty.

"Close the door." Li Chengkong said.

Tang Guang turned around and closed the door.

"Bang!" The door of the bedroom closed heavily.

Outside the bedroom are three large inner guards, one after another, each wearing iron armor, his eyes flashing with his splendor, and his cultivation is profound.

Under their close guard, even a mosquito could not fly.

Li Chengkong glanced at them.

Tang Guang took out a gold medal from his arms, raised it to the sky, and said in a deep voice: "You all retreat."

The guards' eyes hit the golden token, held their fists and bowed, turned around and exited, quickly leaving the empty yard and leaving the narrow palace gate.

The bedroom is surrounded by a hundred meters of blue bricks, with no trees, flowers, plants, or statues, only empty.

"King Nan, let's say that." The Empress Dowager said.

Li Chengkong said: "The emperor has saved him."

The Empress Dowager and Tang Guang were overjoyed and looked at him in disbelief.

Li Chengkong nodded: "This time I was lucky enough to save it. It was more dangerous than the last time, a little bit worse. If there is another time, I can't guarantee that I can save it."

"...The Ai family remembers the kindness of the Southern King in my heart." The Empress Dowager took a deep breath and suppressed her excitement.

She looked at Li Chengkong with bright eyes: "King Nan, do you want to lure the murderer out?"

Li Chengkong said: "I'm afraid I can't attract the murderer. Such powerful methods are not so easy to be exposed."

"Why…?"

"Give the emperor a chance to choose." Li Chengkong said: "The emperor can take the opportunity to retire and live a free life."

"It's really nonsense." The Empress Dowager shook her head gently: "He told you that she wants to abandon the throne?"

Li Chengkong smiled: "This is a rare opportunity, and you can also see the true faces of the ministers of the court and meet the loyal ministers."

The Empress Dowager pondered.

In this way, I'm afraid that Daqi will always be in chaos.

The dispute over the throne broke out again, I don’t know what the riot would be like.

Tang Guang frowned and said, "Your Highness Nan, who will do it?"

"I can't see it." Li Chengkong shook his head: "The means are extremely secret and need to be carefully investigated. No one in the hall is allowed to go out. I'll let the saint come and take a look."

"Tang Guang, you will do your best to cooperate with the Southern King." said the Empress Dowager.

"Yes." Tang Guang responded solemnly.

A cold light flashed in the Empress Dowager's eyes: "I dare to plot against the emperor. I am so bold that I will not feel at ease if I don't find it out!"
