Emperor Deqing coughed gently and said slowly: "Uncle Emperor, you should know that over the years, I have made great efforts to make Zichan my successor. Only in this way can I have the face to meet Qingyao underground."

Prince Gan sighed and shook his head and said, "Master, since you have decided, I won't say much."

The eldest princess sighed quietly and said, "Brother Emperor, you suddenly have such a son and let him be the emperor. How could all civil and military officials be indifferent? When you are here, they are afraid of your imperial power and may not dare to say anything, but...oh, how can you guarantee that they will do their best to assist Zichan!"

Emperor Deqing coughed, his face cold: "With you two supporting Zichan, and with Xue Poye's help, Zichan will overcome the difficulties... Didn't I come here like this?"

"Xue Poye?" Prince Gan frowned: "It is said that during the mutiny, this man stopped Li Wu's conspiracy and organized the Yulin Guard to protect the palace in an orderly manner. He was considered a loyal person. However, this man had a deep background and probably could not be respected by the court officials."

The eldest princess smiled faintly on her beautiful face, and said leisurely: "The background is not deep. Starting from him, the court officials are not convinced. I think Xue Poye naturally has his means to convince the court officials." After a turn of the tone, she said calmly; "It's just that the military power is in his hands, and the emperor's brother is a little stubborn."

Emperor Deqing seemed to be unable to hold on, so he slowly lay down and said, "Without military power, Zichan will be even more unstable. Xue Poye has a mind, but his feelings for Zichan are also very deep, so there is no doubt about this. As long as Xue Poye has been honest in the past few years and help Zichan overcome the difficulties, what's going on...hehe, you can do it."

The eldest princess and the Gan prince looked at each other without saying a word.

...

After a long time, I saw the eunuch come in and report: "Sir, Lord Xue asks for a meeting!"

"Well!" Emperor Deqing struggled to sit up, but his body was really weak. He sighed and said, "Let both of them come in." He paused and said, "Go to summon the Prime Minister, and Shu Zheng, and order them to enter the palace. I want to see them."

The eunuch took the order.

Soon, Xue Poye took Xiao Shitou's hand and entered the bedroom.

The little stone was as dumb as a wooden chicken, his face was a little pale, and he let Xue Poye lead him. It was not until Xue Poye pulled him down to kneel down that he fell to the ground in a daze.

"Come on..." Emperor Deqing looked at Xiao Shitou lovingly: "Come here quickly and let me take a good look at you!"

Xue Poye whispered: "The Sixth Prince, haven't you been here to see the Emperor."

Xiao Shitou looked at Emperor Deqing blankly, but did not move for a moment. After a moment, tears finally fell down. Looking at Emperor Deqing, he murmured: "You... are you my father?"

Emperor Deqing coughed violently, and forced himself to struggle. Seeing this, Prince Gan hurried over to support Emperor Deqing and let him sit up. The emperor's face was bloodless at this time, but his eyes were flashing with joy. He stretched out his hand: "Zi Chan, come here quickly and let the father see you."

Xiao Shitou glanced at Xue Poye, and saw Xue Poye signaling him to go over with encouragement. After pondering slightly, he finally walked over.

Emperor Deqing held Xiao Shitou's hand. This emperor, who was usually gloomy and ruthless, was full of joy at this moment and stared at Xiao Shitou. After a long time, he sighed: "The shadow of Qingyao in his eyebrows... Oh, why didn't the mother see it?"

"Are you my father?" Xiao Shitou looked at Emperor Deqing blankly and asked again.

Emperor Deqing nodded gently and said, "Yes, I am your father... You are the sixth prince of the Emperor of Great Chu... Your name is Liu Zichan?"

Xiao Shitou had heard Xue Poye tell the whole story of the matter, and he couldn't believe it. It was not until Emperor Deqing said it in person that he was sure that the most powerful man in Da Chu was really his father.

Xiao Shitou was a little at a loss.

In his heart, he was once just a slave to the royal palace, a lowly person, without friends, no family, no friendship, and no care from anyone.

It was not until Xue Poye appeared that he had never experienced a kind of family affection and care.

In his heart, he felt that he was already very lucky. After all, he was taken care of by a good master and gave him good care and care, so he was very satisfied.

Although he missed his parents whom he had never met before in the middle of the night, he knew... it was just an out of reach dream.

But just tonight, everything was like a dream. Not only did I know who my real parents were, but my father was actually a man worshipped by the whole country of Dachu.

The man looked at him with a gentle look. At this moment, Emperor Deqing had no emperor's power at all, and only had the joy of a father seeing his son.

Xiao Shitou heard Xue Poye explain that over the years, the father and son have not been able to recognize each other. He has been a slave. It is just a means that the man in front of him has to protect himself.

There is no doubt that Xiao Shitou was very blamed for the man in front of him. He had suffered for more than ten years, but his father, as the emperor, could not take care of him. This made him feel uncomfortable and even sad, but he could not blame this man because everything this man has done for himself over the years.

"Little Shitou, you are not called your father!" Prince Gan coughed and said in a deep voice. Little Shitou had been hiding in his mansion before. He was used to calling Little Shitou. At this time, Xiao Shitou's identity was revealed, but he could not change his words.

Xiao Shitou was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Emperor Deqing's eyes full of expectations, he finally said, "Father...Father!"

Emperor Deqing was surprised and had some strength from nowhere to come. He hugged Xiaoshitou in his arms and said softly: "Child, I have made you suffer... My father is sorry for you, and even more... I am sorry for your mother."

Xiao Shitou knew that his mother Ye Qingyao had passed away, and her heart felt sad and tears flowed.

Xue Poye bowed to the ground and sighed in his heart: "Although Xiao Shitou is a prince, his life is very hard. Now that he knows who his parents are, his mother has passed away, and his father... can't live long."

The love of adding calf is touching in the emperor's bedroom.

"I have seen your aunt and grandpa." It took a long time before Emperor Deqing let go of the little stone.

Xiao Shitou obediently walked to Prince Gan and knelt down: "I have met Grandpa Emperor!" He knelt in front of the eldest princess again: "I have met Aunt!"

The eldest princess stretched out her tender and fair hand, gently pulled up the small stone, stared at it for a moment, and said softly: "Good boy..."

When Emperor Deqing was seriously ill, he was overjoyed again. He felt the indescribable pain in his internal organs. He frowned and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He lay down and felt that his body's energy was quickly exhausted. He knew that the deadline was approaching and said to Xue Poye: "Xue Aiqing, get up, I have something to say to you."

The eldest princess and the prince Gan stood up very sensible and took Xiao Shitou out.

"Xue Aiqing, today... I am very happy." Emperor Deqing said slowly: "In the future, Xiao Shitou will ask you to provide more assistance!"

"I will definitely live up to the great trust of the emperor."

Emperor Deqing coughed for a while, and convulsed an imperial edict from under the pillow, handed it to Xue Poye, and said, "You can keep this."

Xue Poye frowned, took the imperial edict, opened it and changed his expression. He said in surprise: "The Lord..." He actually looked back and saw if anyone was there.

"Don't express your thoughts." Emperor Deqing whispered: "This is the secret decree I have given you. Once there is any change, you can use this secret decree to order all the ministers to kill Prince Gan."

The content of the imperial edict is simple, but it is thrilling.

It actually said that as long as Prince Gan has a slight change, he can depose or even kill Prince Gan with this edict.

Xue Poye was shocked and puzzled. Prince Gan was loyal to His Majesty the Emperor. He not only secretly reported to His Majesty the Emperor who had not yet ascended the throne, but also protected the emperor for more than ten years. Why did the emperor leave such a secret decree?

The emperor's suspicion is too severe.

Emperor Deqing had a dark face. At the last moment of his life's death, he kept the calm mind that the emperor should have, waved his hand to let Xue Poye approach, and whispered: "Uncle is a low-key person... But such a person is either a great kind or a great traitor. If he is honest, he can let him be the Prince of Taiping... Once there is any abnormal movement, you must take action first."

Xue Poye nodded nervously, stuffed the secret edict into his arms, and whispered: "Don't worry, Master, I understand."

Emperor Deqing breathed a sigh of relief, looked outside, and murmured to himself: "Uncle, I hope you can have a good end." He glanced at Xue Poye and said warmly: "I will hand over Zichan to you... I believe that you will definitely not let me down..."

"The priest is very kind, I dare not repay the priest with priest." Xue Poye knelt down on the ground and said respectfully.

...

Lan Wuqing and Shu Zheng were recruited into the palace late at night. They immediately understood in their hearts that the emperor was probably coming, so they had to explain some things.

The two arrived in the palace soon.

Emperor Deqing summoned the two of them and also let Xiao Shitou enter. He had some explanation. When the queen was recruited, the emperor's breath was already weak and his breathing was quite rapid. The supreme power he once had was gone.

Princess Xue Poye, Lan Wuqing and others were waiting outside, and only Emperor Deqing and Empress were left in the bedroom.

The queen held Emperor Deqing's hand and looked at Emperor Deqing with a gentle face.

"Empress." Emperor Deqing sighed softly: "Do you... hate me?"

The queen's delicate body shook and was silent for a long time. After sighing, "For more than ten years, my hatred... has long disappeared."

Emperor Deqing's eyes flashed through a strange look and stared at the queen. The queen was seen with straight hair on her body by these eyes. After a while, Emperor Deqing sighed softly and said, "You don't, your regret has not only not disappeared, but also over the years... it has become deeper and deeper day by day."

The queen looked at the emperor blankly.

"I understand your thoughts, I don't blame you... Even if the soup you make for me every day, I will drink it without hesitation." Emperor Deqing said lightly: "Do you think I don't know that you have poisoned it in the soup?"

The queen's expression changed drastically. She stood up suddenly and looked at Emperor Deqing. Although this man was so angry, the queen was still extremely afraid.

"The poison you give me will not poison me. My internal organs have been damaged for a long time. It depends on the energy to survive. Your poison is just to make me suffer some pain." Emperor Deqing sighed: "Every time I drink it, the poison is forced out of my body by the energy to do it."

The queen gritted her teeth, showed a resentful look in her eyes, and said coldly: "Since you all know, why didn't you kill me earlier?"

Emperor Deqing shook his head and said, "I said... I don't blame you... You don't need to panic. No one except me knows what you do." After a pause, he said quietly: "For more than ten years, I have always regarded you as Qingyao, ruining your happiness. I know, I'm sorry for you, so you don't have to be afraid... No one will hurt you after I die."

The queen stood blankly, and for a long time, tears rolled down.

Emperor Deqing let out a "wow" and spit out a mouthful of blood. The blood dyed the big yellow quilt red. He took the scarf leisurely, gently wiped the corners of his mouth, and said lightly: "Spit out, spit out, I have been spitting for so many years... I can finally stop spitting out."

The queen suddenly knelt down, sobbed gently, and said sadly: "Did you never like me for so many years... It's me, not Ye Qingyao..."

"I..." Emperor Deqing glanced at the queen and closed his eyes quietly: "... In this life, I only love Qingyao... and only she is worthy of my love..."

The queen gritted her teeth and looked cold: "You are so cruel."

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Emperor Deqing's mouth: "My heart has always been cruel... If the emperor's heart is not cruel, can he call him the emperor?"

At this moment, a strange voice sounded: "No, I'm not cruel, how can I be the emperor?"

"Who?" the queen was shocked.

This is the emperor's bedroom, which is protected strictly and is not allowed to enter without summoning. This voice obviously entered the bedroom, and even was around.

The queen was about to call someone, but a black shadow passed by. Before the queen could shout, she was lit into a hole, like a stone, standing still.

A figure appeared on the edge of Emperor Deqing's dragon collapse.

Emperor Deqing was not surprised, but said lightly: "You can enter and exit my bedroom, it seems that you are an eight-way warrior."

"It's been more than ten years, and it's not a rare thing to break through to the eight paths." The visitor said indifferently.

This person is actually the shadow beside Liu Ziqian

Emperor Deqing said lightly: "Who are you...?"

Shadow smiled coldly: "Of course you don't know who I am...you have forgotten."

Emperor Deqing frowned, his body suddenly shook, and his face showed a look of surprise: "Is it... it's you? Hu'er... it's you?"
