"Grandpa, if you don't mind, I'll take you back."

"Then... I'll trouble you." Sikong Yuan smiled bitterly, holding the stone tightly in his hand, "I used to come out often, but recently my health has been getting worse. I'm afraid this is the last time I come out... "

He is about to die.

He muttered to himself.

Yun Hui listened to it very clearly and couldn't help feeling sad.

After helping Abao close the stall, he accompanied the old man all the way forward.

A-Bao looked at the figures of the old and the young, his eyes rolling, "They are the real grandpa and grandson."

"You are a kind-hearted child. Judging from your accent, you don't sound like a local."

The two chatted as they walked.

Yun Hui said, "Well, my master and I are from the Tiansheng Dynasty."

Sikong Yuan was surprised, "That little girl, is she your master?"

"Yeah." Yun Hui seemed to be worried that the old man looked down on A Bao, and said, "Don't look down on my young master, she is very capable."

Sikong Yuan chuckled, "Are you the only one at home?"

"My mother and father are divorced, and I live with her."

"I never knew you had such a good character. I always felt like there was a connection between us."

"That's what I think. By the way, the reason why Grandpa bought the stone is..."

"For my grandson. I heard that if you carve your name on a stone, it can be preserved for many years. I am about to die, and I want to leave a memory for my grandson."

Even though we've never met, I still miss you.

Maybe it's because of our blood connection.

"But, I can't see you anymore."

"Isn't your grandson with grandpa?"

"Well, he left when he was very young. I hope that when he comes back in the future, he won't be alone, but will know that there is someone in this world who cares about him so much." Sikong Yuan carved a word on the stone, a very simple word "hui".

"I hope that one day my grandchildren will be able to come home."

Sikong Lin always said that his grandson was dead, but he didn't believe it.

"Haha, I know it's impossible to see him again, old man."

Sikong Lin would not allow him to bring anything in from outside the palace.

"Originally, I wanted to bury you in one place, just to fulfill my wish. Now that I think about it, I'll give you this stone."

Yun Hui was surprised, "Send it to me?"

"Just consider it as fate between you and me."

"Thank you, Grandpa. I will keep it well. If I meet your grandson someday, I will give it to him."

Sikong Yuan took a deep look at the stone, "It will find its destined person..."

…

Sikong Yuan was taken back to the palace by secret guards.

This was the first time that Sikong Yuan left the palace alone without any secret guards. In these last days, he wanted to indulge himself one last time.

"Has Sikong Lin been here?"

"Your Majesty, not yet."

Sikong Yuan took off the human skin mask on his face, lay on the bed, and continued to set up the stall.

"Burn the human skin mask and don't let Sikong Lin find out."

The secret guard quickly went to do it.

Just when everything was done, Sikong Lin arrived. Looking at Sikong Yuan, who was lying on the couch, extremely weak and only hanging on for half a breath, Sikong Lin smiled coldly, "Your Majesty, have you thought it through? Where is the fourth imperial decree?"

There are four royal orders from the Wood Kingdom.

They are all endowed with the divine breath of Lord Star.

"I have already said that even if I throw it away, I will not let you get the fourth imperial decree."

Sikong Lin didn't take it seriously, and sneered, "Tonight, the veterans of three dynasties who once followed you to conquer the world will no longer exist."

"You, what did you do?"

"In a few days, I will ascend the throne. The three major families are actually not obedient to me and are secretly looking for the true grandson of the emperor. Tell me, what is the meaning of their existence if they offend me?"

A new emperor will not allow people who are disloyal to him to exist in the court.

He must do everything he can to eliminate dissidents.

"Adopting you is the most wrong decision I have ever made in my life!" The retired emperor was shaking with anger. He didn't know that he had adopted an ungrateful person.

"Your Majesty, since you have an adopted son, you shouldn't let your biological son come back. Biological and adopted sons are opposites, and they will never be of the same mind. In the royal family, brothers will kill each other for power, let alone adopted and biological sons."

"Back then you were trying hard to get into the royal family, right?"

"To be honest, I really regarded you as my only relatives back then. But later, when I saw you looking for the true grandson again and again, I was really scared. Grandpa, I was afraid that after you found the true grandson, you would no longer love me. I really don't want to lose you.

I have told you more than once that even if you find the real grandson of the emperor, what will you do if he is a fool or a lunatic, or at worst a playboy?

Is blood relationship so important to you? After all these years of adopting me, do you have no feelings for me at all?

If you have feelings for me, why do you insist on bringing back the true grandson of the emperor!"

The Emperor looked at him coldly, "I didn't set out to look for the true grandson from the beginning, it was you, your ambition step by step that forced me to do so.

The former national god is about to fall, and you are secretly raising demons to replace the new national god. How can I keep you when you dare to touch the national god?"

Only the true grandson of the emperor, the true bloodline of the Sikong family, can hope to revive Lord Xingchen.

This is the last words of the late emperor!

But at that time, he had already adopted Sikong Lin, and felt that the child had a good character and had developed a family affection for him. He even intended to pass the throne of the Mu Kingdom to Sikong Lin.

But until he accidentally learned that Sikong Lin was secretly replacing the national god.

He regretted deeply at that time. He should not have ignored the late emperor's last words, but it was too late.

Sikong Lin sneered, "If it was the real grandson of the emperor who did this, would you mind? He is just taking advantage of the fact that I am the fake grandson of the emperor and deliberately finding an excuse to deal with me.

The former god is weak and about to die. He is no longer able to protect the Mu Kingdom, so replacing the god is the right thing to do.

Now, the Demon King has become the new national god. He is powerful and can protect the Wood Kingdom. This is a great thing. "

"You betrayed the God of the Star Kingdom!"

"He was the first to abandon the Wood Kingdom. But it doesn't matter anymore. After tonight, everything will end. The three royal orders will be abolished. It is impossible to revive the Star Kingdom God with only the royal order in your hand."

"You! Why do you want to betray God despite the world's disapproval?"

Sikong Lin curled his lips, "I have my own protection."

"Impossible! Who would allow harm to a god?"

"Heaven's Way."

The Emperor was stunned, and pointed at Sikong Lin tremblingly, "Impossible, impossible..."

Heaven is fair.

"After I've dealt with the three major families, I'll deal with the Emperor. Don't worry, I won't kill you. I'll let the Emperor watch me ascend to the position of the new emperor of the Mu Kingdom with his own eyes, hahahaha."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

"What's the rush?"
