Chapter 594: Back to Light (2)

"You are finally here." Mo Jingqi finally spoke.

Concubine Liu frowned slightly and said, "Don't the emperor want me to come?"

Mo Jingqi smiled bitterly and said, "I... I really don't want you to come... so quickly. Did you send someone to hurt Ruiyun?"

Concubine Liu raised her eyebrows slightly, raised her chin and stared at Mo Jingqi with condescending attention, and said lightly: "I shouldn't blame me."

"Why do you do this?" Mo Jingqi asked, "I originally thought you didn't care about anything. Now it seems... I've misunderstood."

Concubine Liu leaned her head and looked at Mo Jingqi, slowly showing a sarcastic smile, "Why do you do this? I want to ask the emperor, since the emperor has conferred my son as the crown prince, why do you still want to pass the throne to the sixth prince? The emperor did this, is he trying to place me and the crown prince and where?" A hint of sadness and coldness appeared in Mo Jingqi's eyes, "It seems that I love you too much over the years. That's why you forgot a word."

"What do you mean?" Concubine Liu frowned.

"Thunder, rain and dew are all the kindness of the king." Mo Jingqi said: "The throne is my, and I will pass it to whoever I want to pass it to. I am happy to give it to whoever I want to give it to. You can't refuse what I want to give it to. I don't want it to give it to you, and you can't ask it to!" Concubine Liu was stunned, and a hint of displeasure appeared on her cold face. She was as arrogant as her. In addition to being accustomed to being arrogant in front of Mo Xiuyao, she also included Mo Jingqi, who is the king of a country. "What does the emperor mean?"

Mo Jingqi's smile was cold, "What does it mean... means... even if you kill the sixth prince, I can pass the throne to others. Even if you kill all the princes, I can pass the throne to the royal family. As for your prince... you don't have to think about it."

"Why do you do this?" Concubine Liu stared at Mo Jingqi, her beautiful face full of confusion, as if Mo Jingqi had done something unreasonable.

Mo Jingqi burst into laughter, but his laughter sounded fragmented, "Why? Soon... You will know why. I have treated you well over the years, but unfortunately, how did you repay me? Do you really think that my patience with you is unlimited? Haha... Do you want the prince to ascend the throne, really for the prince? You want Mo Xiuyao... You think beautiful! Even if I die... you have to accompany me!"

"What do you mean?!" Concubine Liu said in a panic. In fact, she certainly knew what Mo Jingqi meant. Although the system of burial in the Great Chu was not popular in the burial system, there were also examples of one or two emperors who issued an order to bury her most beloved young concubine. She just couldn't believe that Mo Jingqi had such an idea. Of course, it was because she was unwilling to accept such a fate no matter what. She still had many things to do, and she wanted to get Mo Xiuyao's love and become Princess Ding. How could she be buried with Mo Jingqi for burial?

Mo Jingqi smiled, closed his eyes and stopped talking.

This further confirmed Concubine Liu's guess. Concubine Liu's face was pale and her mind was indeed turning rapidly. After a while, she suddenly turned around and hurried out to the hall, but she happened to run into the queen and others who had received the news. The queen frowned and said, "Concubine Liu, what are you doing?" Concubine Liu had no time to talk to the queen, looked at her and went out of the hall without saying a word. The queen frowned and was too lazy to care, so she took the people into the bedroom.

The news that the emperor's deadline was approaching was naturally spreading rapidly. In less than half an hour, the princesses, who were high-ranking in the royal family's clan palace, all arrived at the emperor's bedroom. The originally empty bedroom was bustling with people knelt all over the ground. Even old people like the eldest princess, Duke Hua, and people with a somewhat awkward and strange identity like Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li were invited to come over. However, unlike the princes and princes who were kneeling all over the ground. Mo Xiuyao was dressed in leisurely white clothes and white hair, and pulled Ye Li and the eldest princess to stand together. Naturally, there would be no one on his face that was really or pretending to be sad.

The struggles these days have come, and when I am about to die, I feel much calmer. Mo Jingqi opened his eyes amid the sobs and cried, and saw the most eye-catching Mo Xiuyao at a glance. He smiled faintly: "I knew you would come to see me off after all." Mo Xiuyao raised his eyebrows and said without saying a word.

The empress dowager sitting at the head of the bed screamed, stepped forward and held Mo Jingqi's hand and cried, "Emperor, what do you have to say to your mother?"

Mo Jingqi showed a strange smile at the empress dowager, and his eyes passed by the empress dowager and looked at Mo Jingqi, the queen and others standing not far away. After Concubine Liu ran out, she was not seen. At this time, Mo Jingqi didn't care about her whereabouts, and finally her eyes turned from Prime Minister Liu to the prince and princess kneeling on the ground.

"Changle..."

Of course, there is no Princess Changle among the princesses. Mo Jingqi loved this daughter very much since she was a child. It is not only because she is the legitimate daughter of the central palace, but also because she is smart, lively and understanding. Even though Mo Jingqi favors Concubine Liu, Princess Zhenning, the daughter born to Concubine Liu, was ranked behind Princess Changle. But in the same way, he was the most cruel to this daughter, just because she was the legitimate daughter of the queen and the granddaughter of the Hua family that he was afraid of, so he could not leave her in the capital.

Hearing Mo Jingqi calling his daughter's name, the queen turned her face sadly. The blue veins on Duke Hua's old face pounded twice, but she still said nothing. Mo Xiaobao stood beside his father and mother. Although he didn't quite understand what the situation in front of him meant, he also felt the sadness and awe. He looked up and saw that Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li did not say what Princess Changle was like in Licheng.

Finally, the empress dowager sighed and patted Mo Jingqi's hand and said, "Did the emperor forget it? Changle's girl is not in good condition and is missing in Nanzhao."

Mo Jingqi closed his eyes and seemed to ignore the Queen Mother's words. Everyone present, except for the three people in the Ding Palace who were not concerned about their own affairs, was still young and ignorant little prince and princess. Everyone stared at the man who seemed to be dying on the dragon couch in front of him with some concern. Even though he was so weak that he could not even lift his hands, he could still determine the fate of most of the people present.

"Queen..." After a long time, Mo Jingqi finally shouted.

When the queen heard this, she came forward and said, "Emperor, what are the instructions of the emperor?"

Mo Jingqi no longer had the strength to speak loudly, so he raised his eyes and looked at the empress dowager. The empress dowager stood up unhappily and gave up the position for the empress, standing awkwardly.

The queen sat by the bed and looked at Mo Jingqi calmly, and asked, "What do you want to tell me?"

Mo Jingqi raised his hand with difficulty and pulled out a bright yellow cloth from under the pillow. He put it in the queen's hand with difficulty, and said, "Leave... the will." Hearing this, everyone present shrank and fixed it tightly on the bright yellow cloth in the queen's hand. No one knew when Mo Jingqi wrote the will and when he put the will on the pillow to set it.

"The eldest princess... Duke Hua... King Ding... to prove it, the queen... read the will..." Mo Jingqi said intermittently.

Upon hearing this, Mo Xiuyao raised his eyebrows with great interest and said with a smile: "Okay, I promise that the queen can read the will successfully."

The eldest princess also nodded and said, "Prince, please don't worry."

"The old minister obeys the order."

It seemed as if a big thing was accomplished. Mo Jingqi breathed a sigh of relief, and his face looked even more ugly. He said to everyone lightly: "You go... I want to be alone and calm..."

Everyone was in a dilemma, and they didn't know if they should just step down.

Mo Jingli stared at Mo Jingqi with a gloomy face, and finally stepped forward and said, "Where is the child?"

Mo Jingqi looked at him with a smile and laughed out loud.

Mo Jingli said sternly: "I ask you where is the child?!"

Mo Jingqi smiled but said nothing, and blood slowly overflowed from his mouth.

"Mo Jingqi..." Mo Jingli couldn't help but step forward to pull his clothes, but the empress dowager quickly stopped him, "Li'er, what are you doing?" At this time, the emperor was only breathing. If Mo Jingli was letting him get rid of his anger, I am afraid that no matter what the cause of the emperor's death was, Mo Jingli would not be able to escape the crime of regicide.

Mo Jingli also knew that he was impulsive, but he had worked hard for the whereabouts of his only son over the past few days but there was no clue at all. If Mo Jingqi was really dead, I am afraid that the only clue would be broken.

"Can't you tell the truth? Emperor Chu is clearly unable to speak." Mo Xiuyao said with a smile. Although the king of a country was about to die, he was a little rude, but due to Mo Xiuyao's identity, no one dared to say that he was rude.
