After a moment of silence, everyone took a step back, leaving Xin Wubian standing out.
Xin Wubian: “…”
I thank you.
Xin Wujiang's death gaze fell on Xin Wubian, and Xin Wubian immediately felt the skin all over his body tighten.
"Brother, I just came to take a look, nothing else."
Xin Wubian argued softly, Xin Wujiang sneered, raised his hand and pointed in the direction they came from, and said one word with full energy and clear pronunciation: "Get out——"
Everyone ran away and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Xin Wubian: “…”
He smiled awkwardly, cursing at the group as he ran after them, "Brother, I wish you and sister-in-law a long and happy marriage, a son soon, and a life of love—"
After everyone ran away, Xin Wujiang turned back to his room and closed the door. He saw Lan Shuang lifting her veil and looking at him, her golden tassels swaying with laughter.
Xin Wujiang looked at her helplessly, "Is it funny?"
Lan Shuang jokingly said, "Everyone says General Xin is cold and ruthless, and can stop children from crying. I didn't really believe it before, but now I think it seems to be true. It is indeed quite scary."
Xin Wujiang walked back, lowered his eyes to look at the exquisite and gorgeous phoenix crown on Lan Shuang's head, reached out and gently pushed the golden veil, "Are you afraid?"
Lan Shuang looked up at him and asked, "What do you think?"
Xin Wujiang was silent for a while before he smiled. "That's right. You dare to jump on me. Obviously you are not afraid."
He still felt it wasn't enough, so he added four more words: "Extremely audacious."
Lan Shuang laughed for a while, then felt her head was heavy, so she leaned forward and leaned on Xin Wujiang's waist. Xin Wujiang raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you tired?"
"Yeah, it's a bit heavy."
Xin Wujiang reached out and took off the phoenix crown for her, "Don't move."
Lan Shuang leaned against him obediently. After Xin Wujiang took off the phoenix crown, she stretched her neck and said, "Tsk, I suddenly feel alive again."
"Are you hungry? Eat something first."
Xin Wujiang put the things aside, took Lan Shuang's hand and led her to the table to sit down.
The food had already been prepared on the table and was still warm and ready to eat.
Lan Shuang touched her stomach. She hadn't eaten much all day, so she just had some snacks in the sedan chair. Now she was really hungry.
The two of them ate their meal slowly and without saying anything else. For a moment, the room was so quiet that only the sound of burning candles could be heard.
When Xin Wujiang had finished eating, he found that Lan Shuang was already drowsy with her head held high.
He couldn't help but put down his chopsticks more gently, but as luck would have it, the lights flickered and Lan Shuang opened her eyes drowsily and looked at Xin Wujiang: "Hmm... finished eating? Are you going to sleep?"
"Since you are sleepy, go to sleep first."
Xin Wujiang picked up the tea and rinsed his mouth, then stood up and looked at Lan Shuang. Lan Shuang remembered that she had not rinsed her mouth, so she also picked up the teacup.
After rinsing her mouth, she felt more awake. She wiped her lips with a handkerchief and opened her arms lazily, "Hold me."
Xin Wujiang was stunned for a moment, then walked over and picked him up. Lan Shuang nestled in his arms, looking at him, and pecked him on the chin. "A single moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold. How can I fall asleep first?"
Xin Wujiang was stunned by her bold and straightforward words, and then his eyes deepened, "Don't seduce me."
Lan Shuang raised her eyebrows: "Then I'll sleep?"
Xin Wujiang chuckled, walked to the bed, grabbed the quilt and threw it, scattering everything on the ground. After making sure it was clean, he threw Lan Shuang onto the bed.
Lan Shuang had just stopped on the side of the bed when Xin Wujiang pressed over.
In the dim and narrow space, ambiguity silently crawled all over the bed.
Neither of them moved first. They just looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
I don't know what I'm laughing at, I just feel very happy.
After laughing enough, a lot of kisses began to fall.
Lan Shuang heard Xin Wujiang say, "I will treat you well, Madam."
…
The two of them were being sweet and loving here, while the old general drank some wine and went to rest, leaving Xin Wubian there to deal with the guests alone.
In the end, everyone had a great time and left. Xin Wubian lay unconscious on the table and was carried back by the servants.
The guests went home and went to sleep in the joyful mood, but some of them could not sleep all night.
After seeing Lan Shuang off, the Imperial Master's Mansion quickly became deserted. The Imperial Master stood alone at the door of the study. Outside, heavy snow had begun to fall, instantly dyeing the sky and earth white.
Vast, cold and lonely, just like the mood of the Imperial Master at the moment.
He had just given the medicine to the prince's people. If nothing unexpected happens, news of the emperor's sudden death will be heard from the palace tomorrow.
This was the moment he was waiting for.
Yuehan and Yueying stood aside, accompanying him silently.
At dawn, the imperial teacher finally moved.
Without even turning his head, he said, "Prepare the carriage and enter the palace."
…
The sound of firecrackers outside stopped. After the empress helped the emperor to sleep, she took a nap on the couch in the outer room. However, before she had slept for a while, a palace servant came to report that the crown prince had arrived.
The queen immediately lost all sleepiness, put on her clothes and went out.
The palace maid held an umbrella for the prince, and the prince dressed neatly and strode up the steps in the heavy snow.
Looking at him in the prince's dragon robe, the queen's eyes were dark and unclear.
"Mother, has father woken up?" The prince asked in a low voice after paying his respects to the queen.
The Queen shook her head: "Come in and tell me."
The prince nodded and said to his followers, "You all stay outside and are not allowed to enter."
"yes."
The empress and the prince entered the bedroom. The emperor was sleeping soundly, but perhaps because of his serious illness, his breathing was sometimes light and sometimes heavy, and sounded very labored.
The prince walked to the dragon bed, lifted the bed curtain and took a look. The emperor had become so thin in just a few days that he looked like a skeleton. His cheeks were sunken and his forehead was black. He looked like he didn't have much time left.
He was startled, turned to look at the queen, and asked in a low voice, "Why is it like this?"
The Queen sighed, "It's been like this for a long time. I've been suppressing it and not letting anyone visit, so I was able to hide it. But it's almost impossible to hide it anymore. He himself knows it's not good, so he started to write a will, but I found it and burned it."
"Tsk, they've actually started drafting their will."
When the prince saw the queen's unhappy expression, he knew that the will might be unfavorable to him, and his originally wavering heart became firm again.
"Besides this, is there any other will?"
"I'm not sure," the Queen said worriedly. "Some ministers have repeatedly requested an audience, and I can't keep refusing them. I'm only allowing them to visit behind a curtain, but... I can't see clearly from behind the screen whether there's any manipulation going on."
A cold light flashed in the prince's eyes: "If that's the case, then it's better to just die."
He took out a pill from his sleeve, pinched the emperor's mouth and was about to stuff it in.
The queen hesitated to speak, but thinking about her own wealth and glory, she decided to follow the prince.
