Suzong coughed and asked, "Yue'er, what happened outside?"

Chaoyue put on a smile and said, "What could be the matter, but Qingque overturned the vase and almost hurt herself." Suzong nodded and said nothing, but he still coughed.

Looking at Chaoyue in front of him, Donghua's heart was already churning with turbulent waves. He didn't know how Chaoyue would grow up to be able to remain calm at this time, even if her heart was already as turbulent as her own.

At this moment, there was a commotion outside the door, and only Eunuch Gao shouted: "Your Majesty has orders, no one is allowed to enter and disturb, and General Cheng must not force his way in!" Suddenly, only Eunuch Gao screamed and disappeared. The door was knocked open immediately, and Cheng Yuanzhen led several soldiers into the hall.

Chaoyue stepped forward angrily and said: "Presumptuous! How dare you disturb the Holy Majesty!"

Cheng Yuanzhen looked at Chaoyue and Donghua, knelt down and said sharply: "Join Your Majesty, now that the crown prince has passed away, please Your Majesty to appoint another crown prince!"

Suzong suddenly widened his eyes: "What did you say?"

Cheng Yuanzhen raised his voice again and said, "Could it be that Your Majesty didn't know that the Crown Prince hanged himself in fear of crime?"

Seeing that there was a sly smile hidden in Cheng Yuanzhen's eyes, Donghua couldn't help being furious, but when he was about to explode, he saw Suzong spit out a mouthful of blood, pointing at Cheng Yuanzhen: "You...you..." Then he fell down on the bed.

Donghua hurried forward, Suzong slightly raised his eyes and looked at Donghua and Chaoyue with anger: "It seems that my Tang Dynasty can only hand over to you two, when my Tang Dynasty really needs you, You must not shirk it!" Suzong held Donghua's hand firmly, stared at Donghua with wide eyes as if waiting for Donghua's answer, Donghua never expected that Suzong would say these words to himself, Choking with sobs, he replied vigorously: "I will never give up!"

When Suzong got the answer, he lowered his hands, closed his eyes, and died from exhaustion.

At this moment, Chaoyue collapsed in an instant, lying on Suzong's body and crying, "Father! Father, wake up! Father, how can you just leave everything and leave alone!" crying and shaking Suzong vigorously. It seems that he hopes to wake up the sleeping Suzong.

Donghua's tears also flowed down in an instant, but seeing Cheng Yuanzhen who was still kneeling on the ground stepped forward with red eyes and said angrily: "Cheng Yuanzhen, you dare to trespass on the emperor's bedroom, you deserve death!"

Cheng Yuanzhen stood up disapprovingly, turned to look at the door and said grimly: "The one who deserves death is probably the one who didn't report the knowledge and deceived the Holy One. Eunuch Gao has been raped by this general!"

Donghua looked at the door, and saw Eunuch Gao lying on the side of the door with a pool of blood under his body.Donghua was already furious, but looking at Cheng Yuanzhen and the forbidden army behind him, he suppressed his anger and said in a harsh voice: "Your Majesty is dead now, and I hope that General Cheng will lead the forbidden army to protect the safety of the palace!"

Seeing that there was no other way for Cheng Yuanzhen to do so, he could only bow his body and say in a dark tone: "That should be the case. If there is any need for your majesty and the prince's affairs, this general will do his best." After speaking, he led everyone out of Linde Hall.

Donghua only felt that there was a bloody irony in Cheng Yuanzhen's words, why did the monarch and the prince pass away one after another overnight?How could this Tang Dynasty be in a precarious situation in the blink of an eye?What will the Tang Dynasty do tomorrow?I thought I knew everything, but at this moment I was more confused than anyone else.

Donghua wanted to clear up the mess in his mind, but suddenly realized that there was no sound in the Linde Hall at the moment, and Chaoyue was sitting blankly in front of Suzong's bed with nothing in his eyes. Donghua hurriedly stepped forward and held Chaoyue's hand and asked: "Princess, you...you must take care of yourself." As she spoke, the tears in her eyes flowed down again.Chaoyue slowly turned her head to look at Donghua: "Accompany me to see the elder brother of the prince." Donghua tasted a bit of bitterness at the corner of his mouth, gritted his teeth and nodded, unable to say a word. When he opened his mouth, he couldn't help but collapse completely.

As soon as Donghua and Chaoyue walked to the entrance of the prince's sleeping hall, they saw everyone in the hall kneeling on the ground and sobbing. When they entered the hall, they saw the prince lying on the couch as if he was asleep, but there was a blood-red streak on his neck. There were strangle marks, and a piece of white silk was scattered on the ground.

Chaoyue took the prince's already cold hand and shook her head and murmured: "Brother, why are you so stupid? Even if you make such a heinous mistake, the emperor will never take your life, why are you so cruel to kill yourself? "

Donghua Ren Chaoyue knelt in front of the prince and muttered. Suddenly, Donghua saw that there seemed to be something in the other hand of the prince. He walked over and opened his stiff fingers and found a ball of paper inside.Donghua opened the crumpled letterhead and saw that it read:

Yu'er was bewitched by an adulterer and lost his mind. In order to gain power as soon as possible, he added medicine to his father's decoction.

Now that a heinous mistake has been made, there is no need to embarrass the father, and the son should take the first step.

Yu'er's last words

After reading these few lines, Donghua handed the paper to Chaoyue. Seeing that Chaoyue read it with tears in his eyes, he asked, "Is this the prince's handwriting?"

Chaoyue nodded, looked at the letter and said with a choked voice: "Brother, you are so confused. Why are you so desperate at this moment? No matter how bad you are, father will never want you. His life." Chaoyue's words may only be comforting the departed Prince Li Yu, after all, even she herself does not know how the father will deal with him, who makes the two of them both father and son, and monarch and minister.

When Donghua and Chaoyue returned to the Linde Hall, everything had been cleaned up and returned to the original state, Suzong had also been changed into clothes and looked the same as usual, if it weren't for a little eunuch who was still kneeling and scrubbing Eunuch Gao With the blood stains left behind, it was as if nothing had happened in Linde Hall.Donghua looked at Suzong who was lying on the couch with a peaceful face, and thought that the emperor who had had a rough life could finally return to peace. He saw all kinds of struggles for power in this Daming Palace, and he also saw all the things Xuanzong did. After he became an adult, he experienced the Anshi Rebellion, and then fought for power with Yang Guozhong.Although in Lingwu he did not get Xuanzong's permission to establish himself as the throne, he led the army to recover the two capitals of Chang'an and Luoyang successively, which can be regarded as a credit to Datang.However, in the short few years of his reign, although he devoted himself to quelling the rebellion, he allowed eunuchs like Cheng Yuanzhen to monopolize the power, and the regime of the feudal town was divided, sowing fatal disasters for future generations of the Tang Dynasty.As for the killing of the Yang family, Donghua thought that maybe he had killed Yang Guozhong but left Yang Yuhuan behind for no reason, or he just wanted to use Yang Yuhuan's death to persecute Xuanzong. Xiang Xiaoyu was still charged with harming the world after her death. Xuanzong once said that he only hoped that the imperial concubine could be reincarnated in a good way.

The mourning hall is located in the Sanqing Hall. Donghua, Chaoyue and Qingque are all dressed in plain clothes, linen and filial piety, and the white headbands are not crowned.The vigil had to last for three days and three nights. Donghua looked at Chaoyue, who was already thin and pale, as pale as paper. These three days and three nights had only passed one day and one night. If she survived for three days, she might have fallen ill.Donghua saw that Chaoyue was staring blankly at Qing Que, who was leaning against her and sleeping soundly, and couldn't help persuading: "Princess has not eaten or drunk for two days, how can she hold on like this?"

Chaoyue still looked at Qingque and didn't answer. Donghua couldn't let Chaoyue be like this, and said with a little anger: "If you fall ill, who will take care of Qingque? Do you want him to face the current situation alone? situation?"

After a long time, Chaoyue turned her head to look at Donghua whose eyes were already bloodshot, and now her eyes were even redder because of anger. In the past two days, Donghua has been busy before and after, but he doesn't speak much. Why did he want to get angry today? Come?But at this moment Chaoyue realizes that Donghua is the only one who can be angry with herself now, and she can be angry with everyone in the world, but who would really care?It turns out that at this moment, my family has really been broken up, only myself and Qingque are left.When Chaoyue thought of this, she thought she would shed tears, but her eyes were dry. Maybe she knew that this day would come, maybe everyone who was born in the emperor's family would have this day.

Donghua saw that Chaoyue seemed to be crying but didn't cry, but Donghua would rather she cried out loud, so that she would only make herself more worried if she didn't say a word.Chaoyue knew that Donghua was looking at her with worried eyes, and finally couldn't help but said: "It's been hard for you these few days." But these words said that he was weak and his eyes were full of sadness.

Donghua shook his head: "Compared with the princess, I don't know why. It's just that the princess must not go on like this. After leaving this mourning hall, I'm afraid that I don't know how things will change."

Chaoyue looked down at Qing Que after hearing this, "Could it be that Qing Que really got sucked into the center of this vortex at a young age?"

Donghua was also at a loss at the moment, not knowing what to do next, all this was beyond his knowledge, but how could this be?Is it because of some kind of change that history has deviated?Or... This is actually a parallel dimension. If the change is due to the fact that he discovered that the prince was poisoned, the prince accidentally committed suicide, but how can this Jianning king Li Tan explain it?Could this really be the Tang Dynasty thousands of years ago in a parallel space?Donghua still couldn't sort out the complicated thoughts in his head, so he couldn't help but sighed heavily, but this sigh caught Chaoyue's attention.

Chaoyue looked at Donghua puzzled, and Donghua hurriedly said, "I just lament the prince, he should not have died so young."

Donghua's words touched Chaoyue somehow, and Chaoyue burst into tears in an instant, dripping continuously on Qingque's lapel.Donghua hurriedly raised his hand and wiped away Chaoyue's tears while saying softly: "If you want to cry, cry loudly. No one has more reason than you at this moment." As soon as the words fell, Chaoyue hugged Donghua and fell on Donghua's shoulder Before she burst into tears, Donghua felt that her front was wet in a blink of an eye, and Donghua patted Chaoyue's back lightly, as if Chaoyue was a child at the moment.After crying for a long time, Chaoyue choked up and said: "I forced the elder brother to death... If it wasn't for me, the elder brother would not have committed suicide... If he hadn't died, the emperor would not have died..." After finishing speaking, he broke down in sobs again.
