Chapter 404 Surrender
That day, the little emperor stayed with Yun Zhao for a long time.
I also had lunch at Yun Zhao's place.
I ate Yun Zhao’s favorite beggar’s chicken.
It was not until Yun Zhao was about to take a lunch break that he reluctantly left.
Before leaving, the little emperor turned around and said to Yun Zhao very seriously, "Queen Yunmu, Xie Jingmo is someone you can rely on. I feel relieved to have him by your side."
The sedan chair slowly moved away.
Xie Jingmo walked in from outside and hummed, "This little emperor has good taste."
Yun Zhao glanced at him, shook his head and smiled, then went back to the room.
Everyone thought that the little emperor was about to recover.
But unexpectedly.
As the sun was setting that day, a terrifying cry of grief and deafening laughter was suddenly heard.
Someone recognized that this was the eunuch closest to the emperor, named Xiao Yuzi.
Xiao Yuzi's voice was shrill as he stumbled down the long corridor of the palace, crying out in sorrow, "The Emperor, the Emperor has passed away!"
Yun Zhao was still eating dinner.
Xie Jingmo filled a bowl of soup for her. Yun Zhao had just taken it when noises came from outside.
The bowl of soup spilled onto her hand, scalding it and leaving a red wound. Xie Jingmo wiped it with a handkerchief and applied ointment to it.
Yun Zhao stared blankly at the completely dark sky outside. After finally coming to his senses, he said solemnly, "He... is just a child."
"He... is just a child." Yun Zhao raised his eyes and met Xie Jingmo's gaze.
There is a strong murderous intent in this sight!
Xie Jingmo supported Yun Zhao's trembling hand and said, "Let's talk about it later. I'll go over and take a look first."
Yun Zhao insisted on standing up and said, "I'll go with you."
She is going.
Hers to go.
She exchanged her life for that child.
She was called mother for many years.
On the way over, many images flashed through Yun Zhao's mind. She whispered, "Xie Jingmo, do you still remember? This child was almost unable to be born. I was the one who brought him to life."
Xie Jingmo stood outside the sedan chair and said in a deep voice, "I remember."
Yun Zhao's eyes were red. "You were so little, and I raised you until you grew up. You kept calling me mother. You were so well behaved."
Yun Zhao's tone trembled and his voice broke.
"Everyone says I'm after this power and position, but he knows deep down that I'm not."
"He told me that when he grows up, he will share my burdens and let me enjoy the happiness."
"Except for not being born from my womb, he is no different from my own child."
Otherwise, who would risk their own life for someone else's?
It not only contains the plan for this world, but also Yun Zhao's love for this child.
"Such a good child, now... gone."
Tears rolled down Yun Zhao's cheeks. The little eunuch was standing outside, sobbing, and he was standing on the other side.
Taking advantage of darkness and the absence of anyone around, he stuffed something rolled up like an imperial edict from his sleeve into the sedan chair.
Then, there was a letter.
Xiao Yuzi whispered in a voice that only Yun Zhao and he could hear: "When the emperor left, he told me that these two things can only be given to you. He also said..."
Yun Zhao's voice was sad and subdued. "What else did you say?"
Xiao Yuzi said: "The emperor said that if there is an afterlife, he would still like to be your child."
Yun Zhao sat in the sedan chair, holding the two things tightly in his hands, tears falling down his face.
Xie Jingmo heard the crying and lifted the curtain of the sedan chair.
Seeing what Yun Zhao was holding, he immediately lowered the curtain and whispered to Yun Zhao, "Hold on tight, we're almost there."
Yun Zhao was inside. He said "hmm" and put the two things in the secret compartment under the sedan.
When Yun Zhao got out of the sedan chair, Xie Jingmo said to the attendants, "The sedan chair is waiting outside. The Queen Mother is weak and can't stay outside for long."
Those people said yes.
Xie Jingmo gave Qicai and Fuhai a look, and they nodded and stood on both sides of the sedan.
Xie Jingmo followed Yun Zhao into the emperor's bedroom.
Mu Chengyan was also inside.
When he saw Yun Zhao come in, his eyes immediately lit up and he walked over.
He wanted to tell Yun Zhao that he could give you everything you wanted.
I am the future emperor!
He also wanted to tell Yun Zhao that Xie Jingmo was not worthy of him, only he was.
From the beginning to the end, it was only me who was willing to kill the king for your ideas and your needs.
I did my best for you!
Mu Chengyan saw Yun Zhao's red eyes in the dark vision.
He remained unmoved.
He just felt that this was just a show.
The little emperor is gone, and Yun Zhao, as the nominal queen mother, should naturally cry.
But the sadness here must be limited.
Mu Chengyan felt that he was in control of the situation.
The letter of succession from the young emperor was still in the secret compartment at home. He had to wait until the young emperor left and everyone was discussing the throne of the world before he could take out the letter of succession.
By then, Yun Zhao and the whole world will belong to him.
Mu Chengyan had already told Chen Guangzhi in advance to win over his subordinates to ensure that when he took out the edict of succession in the future, he would have a group of supporters.
Mu Chengyan looked a little proud.
When he met Yun Zhao's tearful eyes, his heart trembled and he nodded at Yun Zhao.
This means to tell Yun Zhao——
Don't worry, everything is under control.
Yun Zhao looked at Mu Chengyan with deep eyes.
Then, he walked into the little emperor's room.
She dismissed everyone from the room.
Only Xie Jingmo was left.
An hour later, Yun Zhao slowly stood up. While Xie Jingmo was pouring water for her, she softly said to the child on the bed, "Go well. If there is an afterlife, and if your mother is willing, you can come back to be her child."
"Your revenge will definitely be avenged by your mother!"
When Xie Jingmo entered, Yun Zhao had already walked out. Xie Jingmo whispered to the eunuch guarding the door, "What did the Queen Mother say to the Emperor just now?"
The eunuch shook his head. "It seems he didn't say anything. Probably just some farewell words."
Xie Jingmo nodded and followed him out.
After a while.
Mu Chengyan walked over and, like Xie Jingmo, asked the eunuch standing at the door, "What did the Queen Mother say just now?"
When Yun Zhao left, he didn't even look at me.
Mu Chengyan felt that even if Yun Zhao was sad, he shouldn't treat him like this.
"Didn't you hear anything at all?" Mu Chengyan asked unwillingly.
The eunuch shook his head. "The Queen Mother's voice was a little low, so I couldn't hear it clearly. I only heard the word 'child'."
Mu Chengyan then thought that this was really a simple farewell.
Too.
After all, this is not your own child.
Yun Zhao's sadness must be limited.
In the future, he and Yun Zhao will have their own children.
As long as he gets to a high position, the first thing he will do is to kill Xie Jingmo!
Mu Chengyan curled his lips coldly and smiled, and Chen Guangzhi walked in from outside.
Meet Mu Chengyan's gaze.
Chen Guangzhi nodded.
Mu Chengyan Gou smiled.
It seems that the decree of succession is very effective and many people have already surrendered.
