As soon as he rang the bell, a palace servant hurried to the bedside and knelt down respectfully.
"Your Majesty …"
He was very young and was Chang Xi's adopted son. He was clever and loyal, so the emperor liked him very much.
"Help me up!"
The man quickly stepped forward to help the emperor up, and then helped him to sit in front of the imperial table according to the emperor's request.
The little eunuch didn't say anything superfluous. The emperor didn't have much time left. No one knew better than them, so they wouldn't stop him from doing whatever he wanted.
Looking at the imperial table in front of him, Emperor Cheng was in a trance … He used to review memorials here, practice calligraphy here, and read books here … His father had this imperial table when he was still alive. Now that he thought about it, it had actually lived for two generations and witnessed two generations of emperors.
"I want to write an imperial edict!"
Hearing the emperor's order, the little eunuch quickly spread out the imperial edict, but he felt a little strange because the emperor had arranged everything a few days ago. Why did he want to write an imperial edict today?
But he didn't ask, and respectfully handed the cinnabar brush to the emperor.
He didn't know how to read, so he naturally didn't know that this was an imperial edict.
Emperor Cheng actually wrote an imperial edict, saying that if he died, he would allow Gong Dai to get married first, and then arrange the funeral. Because he already felt that this was his final radiance, he … was going to die!
Then, he solemnly stamped the imperial jade seal, and under the little eunuch's shocked eyes, his hands trembled as he burned the imperial edict.
The little eunuch was shocked. He knew the contents of the imperial edict. After his adoptive father died, he had been accompanying the emperor like a shadow. He knew everything, including what the imperial physician said just now …
He said that the princess's breath was unstable, but the princess didn't seem to notice.
He also said that the princess was pregnant.
So, was this the reason why the emperor changed his mind?
In the fire, the light in Emperor Cheng's eyes became dimmer and dimmer. The imperial edict burned little by little, and in the end, he found that he was relieved.
From the emperor's point of view, GongYimo must die, but from the father's point of view? Even if his children made a monstrous mistake, no matter how angry he was, he would still forgive and not give up on her …
He had been an emperor his whole life. Before he died, could he be willful for once and be a father for once?
It was a pity that he couldn't see the child in Mo 'er's belly. Would it be a princess or a prince?
While he was in a trance, he heard the eunuch cry out in surprise!
It turned out that he had suddenly spat out large mouthfuls of blood, dyeing his bright yellow inner garment red.
Previously, when he was still alive, he was just hanging on by a thread and refused to swallow it. However, when GongYimo made the vow just now, his heart ached, but he suddenly felt that he could be at ease.
I'm sorry, Mo'er. Father won't live to see you get married.
As a mother, you must be strong. Please remember your vow and overcome all difficulties to survive. I choose to believe you because you are my pride.
"His Majesty … has passed away …"
A long announcement was made, but GongYimo had already left the palace. She seemed to feel something and turned around. Through the window, she saw countless birds flying over the palace wall behind her … Wild geese were flying to the south. Winter was coming.
Before she could show the imperial edict in her hand to Gong Dai, Gong Dai hurriedly met her. His expression was cold and his brows were furrowed, as if he didn't know how to tell the Royal Sister about this matter.
GongYimo got into Gong Dai's carriage and turned towards the palace.
"What's wrong?" GongYimo asked nervously.
Gong Jue touched her hair and whispered to her as softly as possible.
"Father … has passed away."
"What?!" She was shocked! "He was clearly fine when I came out! He still … he still … "
GongYimo hugged the imperial edict in her hand and silently hid it in her space.
If the emperor died and the edict was issued, she would be buried with him! Then, there was no need to announce the imperial edict in her hand to the world …
At that moment, in addition to heartache, she was even more flustered …
What should I do … I haven't married Gong Dai yet! I don't want to die. Can I … marry him and then be buried with him?
Obviously, it was impossible because the emperor's death was a great funeral. Nothing could surpass this matter … Gong Dai had to observe filial piety for three years …
In this panic, GongYimo arrived at the palace again. At this time, Zhaoyang Hall was already bustling with a large group of people. The Empress Dowager, the Empress, the imperial concubines, the princes, and the ministers … were probably on their way!
The moment she saw the emperor's pale purple face, GongYimo suddenly burst into tears!
It's not like this! When I left, the emperor was still smiling and saying a lot. Why did he die when I didn't see him for a while?
His eyes and mouth couldn't close because he was too thin, revealing thin slits. His pale purple face was really scary … This is not Father Emperor, no!
Gong Dai brought her to kneel beside the bed, "Father Emperor … this son is unfilial and came late."
When Gong Dai came, everyone had to make way for him. The crown prince sat beside the emperor's bed with tears in his eyes. It could be seen that the guilt and self-blame in his heart was crazily tormenting him!
If it wasn't for him, if it wasn't for him, Father Emperor might have lived for another twenty years! Even if he died, he shouldn't have died in such a cruel way! All of this was his fault!
At this time, the ministers came one after another. When they heard the cries in Zhaoyang Hall, they also began to cry. The entire Zhaoyang Hall was shrouded in grief.
At this time, the senior officials of two dynasties and the first rank cabinet minister came forward and read the emperor's edict. After his death, Gong Che would succeed the throne.
Gong Che didn't seem to feel it. It was the Empress who pulled him while crying that he knelt to receive the edict. After reading it, he was lost in thought.
At this time, the little eunuch took out the emperor's newly written edict and let the minister read it.
There was still Gong Cheng's blood on it. The minister was surprised. When he held it in his hand, he was suddenly shocked!
But when he read the content, the grief on his face was instantly replaced by surprise!
He looked at GongYimo in shock, and then looked at Gong Dai.
GongYimo had already wiped away her tears at this time. She knew that the edict was about to be read. Her heart was slightly cold. When the moment came, she tightly grasped Gong Dai's hand as a final support.
The old minister was stunned for a long time before he read the edict that didn't seem like an imperial edict.
"Zhen's beloved son, GongYimo, will tie the knot tomorrow. Zhen feels that there is not much time left, but I don't want to ruin this good relationship. Therefore, with the marriage first and the funeral later, on the road to the Yellow Springs, there will be joy to send you off, so you won't be lonely. "
When the minister finished reading, he found that everyone present was stunned!
Everyone knew that Gong Dai wanted to prepare for the wedding and marry GongYimo! Such an immoral thing, they thought that the emperor was only afraid of Gong Dai's strength and was only half-reluctant.
They didn't expect that at the end of his life, he would give an edict that didn't involve marriage! Moreover, it was a special wedding!
This special honor was simply unprecedented in history! If he wasn't sure that it was the emperor's handwriting, he would have doubted whether it was real.
