I escaped from natural disasters and won by relying on the system.

Chen Xiaowu shook his head and said, "No, I have a feeling that I won't be here for long, and it's not a wise choice to leave the child to me."

Emperor Sheng Yuan sighed: "Ah, that's right, I was just daydreaming.

The Immortal Master is a god from heaven, why would he stay here?

I think the child has been taught very well by the immortal master during this period.

How about this, I will issue an imperial decree to make that child the crown prince, and his father, the King of Qi, the crown prince.

After I die, let the King of Qi inherit the world!"

These words seemed to be spoken to Chen Xiaowu, and also seemed like Emperor Sheng Yuan was sorting out his thoughts.

In the end, he had made a decision.

So Emperor Sheng Yuan summoned the eunuch chief, Eunuch An, to draft the decree. He said one sentence and Eunuch An wrote it down.

Under the witness of Chen Xiaowu, the edict of succession was written and stamped with the imperial seal.

There are two copies, one for announcing the decree and one for Chen Xiaowu just in case.

After stamping the document, Eunuch An burst into tears.

Emperor Sheng Yuan looked at this old friend who had been with him for decades since childhood, and comforted him, "Everyone has to die, I just left one step earlier than you, old man.

I am already this old, and I have been on the throne for forty years. I have not lost anything in my life."

Eunuch An wiped his tears with his clothes, kowtowed several times and said, "Yes, it is an honor for Xiao Anzi to follow Your Majesty in this life. Xiao Anzi will serve Your Majesty for the rest of his life."

Emperor Sheng Yuan knew what he was thinking. He knew that if he died, Xiao Anzi would not live alone. He wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing.

He arranged for the secret guards to ride at full speed to Guangping Prefecture to convey the imperial edict, and then waved his hand to let Eunuch An leave.

Emperor Sheng Yuan took out a gold medal with the words "I am present in person" written on it and handed it to Chen Xiaowu.

"Master, I give you this sign. As long as you have it, it's like I'm here in person. Everyone who sees me will listen to you.

I know you don't need this at all, but this is a small gift from me, please accept it."

Chen Xiaowu saw through his thoughts. He just wanted him to help the King of Qi when the prince tried to seize the throne.

The Prince of Qi's family is weak and has few military forces, and Emperor Sheng Yuan is afraid that he will not be able to suppress the other princes.

But as people who practice Taoism, they cannot get involved in royal affairs. This was something the clan leader had specifically reminded them of before they came out.

Emperor Sheng Yuan saw that he did not reach out to take the sign in his hand.

He raised the sign in front of Chen Xiaowu again with great effort, his hands shaking like a sieve.

He coughed and said with difficulty: "Master, this is really just a token of my appreciation. I have no other intentions. Please accept it."

Seeing that Emperor Sheng Yuan was about to lose control of the sign in his hand, Chen Xiaowu sighed.

Well, just accept it first. After all, I have been a master and disciple with that child, so it can be considered a cause and effect.

If anything really happens, you can ask the young master for help.

The young master is different after all and is not bound by these rules.

Seeing Chen Xiaowu accepted the thing in his hand, Emperor Sheng Yuan felt relieved.

Then, as if everything had been explained, Emperor Sheng Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and fell into a coma.

Chen Xiaowu could only give him a life-extending pill and keep his name hanging.

Ten days, at most it can only keep him alive for ten days.

If the King of Qi cannot come back by then, there will be nothing he can do.

Is the world going to be in chaos?

These days, Lin Ke and Lin Chenyu traveled day and night and checked in everywhere.

At the same time, it also asked family members to exchange more banknotes and stockpile supplies.

Finally, on the tenth day, the day when Emperor Sheng Yuan passed away, all the territory of the Great Yan Dynasty was illuminated.

The news of Emperor Sheng Yuan's death was concealed by Eunuch An, who hoped that King Qi could return soon.

But each prince also has his own people in the palace.

The spies from various families did not know that Emperor Sheng Yuan had passed away. They only knew that Emperor Sheng Yuan was seriously ill because he had not attended court for more than ten days.

When the news spread, all the princes brought their private soldiers back to the capital to take care of the patient.

All forces became nervous.

The King of Qi received the news earlier, so he was the first to set out.

However, Guangping Prefecture was located far away, so Prince Yu arrived in the capital first.

Eunuch An tried to drag him and sent someone to Prince Yu's Mansion to convey the imperial edict that Prince Yu had come to the capital without being summoned, and was ordered to be confined to Prince Yu's Mansion for a month to reflect on his mistakes.

Prince Yu was well behaved for a few days.

But the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, so he broke into the palace with his private soldiers.

The imperial guards never thought about improving themselves and were no match for Prince Yu's personal soldiers.

He broke into the palace and took control of everyone inside.

However, he discovered that the Imperial Master, whom his father trusted the most, and the boy from the King of Qi's family were nowhere to be found.

Prince Yu had a bad feeling in his heart and felt that he could not let that boy go.

However, Emperor Sheng Yuan had just passed away, and Prince Yu was still concerned about his own face and did not conduct a large-scale search in the imperial city.

At this time, Emperor Sheng Yuan had passed away for five days. His body was placed in an ice coffin prepared in advance, and it looked no different from when he had just passed away.

When Eunuch An saw that he could no longer conceal the truth, he had to announce the death of Emperor Sheng Yuan under the coercion of Prince Yu.

"Duang, Duang, Duang~~~~"

As soon as the King of Qi arrived in the capital, he heard the death knell ringing.

"One, two, three times~~~~"

"Father, it rang 45 times in total. Grandfather Emperor..."

The King of Qi understood what his son had not yet expressed.

Forty-five funeral bells rang, representing the death of the country's supreme emperor.

The King of Qi suddenly felt extremely sad.

"Father, why did you leave before your son came back?"

The King of Qi got off the carriage, knelt every three steps and kowtowed every two steps, and headed towards the imperial city.

When the people in the capital heard the funeral bell, they felt panic and helplessness.

Emperor Shengyuan has passed away. What kind of life will greet the people of the Great Yan Dynasty?

Zhong Xiu and the others were mentally prepared, so at this moment, they politely sent all the customers out of the store.

The guests also knew that it was not appropriate to feast and enjoy themselves at this time, so they waved their hands, did not even take the money that was returned to them, and hurried home.

Most of the people who could come to these stores to shop were either rich or noble. After the death of Emperor Sheng Yuan, they had to hurry back to discuss with their family members what to do next.

Zhong Xiu and his colleagues took out the white cloth they had prepared long ago and hung it outside the store. They gave the employees a holiday and closed the store.

Together, they put all the existing goods and ingredients in the store into the space, then changed into plain clothes and returned to their own houses.

When other shops saw this, they followed suit. For a while, white cloth in other cloth shops in the capital was sold out.

The common people also wore white clothes, or tried to wear plain clothes.

At this time, no one dared to walk around the street in brightly colored clothes.
