The mute servant immediately turned her head and looked at her in disbelief, but she did not know what to do. Jiang Ruan asked softly, "Are you going to call for a doctor?"
The mute servant nodded.
"There is no need to call for a doctor." Jiang Ruan sneered, "I don't trust the doctors here. Go out, and be careful when you cook in the future." Naturally, she could not let the doctor come over, otherwise, if he felt the pulse of pregnancy, things would get out of hand. This mute servant did not look very courageous, and she did not know whether she was pretending or not. Jiang Ruan could only deceive this person first.
The mute servant opened her mouth and seemed to be somewhat at a loss. Jiang Ruan frowned and said, "Still not going out?" Only then did the mute servant hurriedly retreat. After the mute servant left, Jiang Ruan rubbed her forehead. This was not the way to go on. But now, she had no way of knowing what the situation was like outside. These days, she stayed in the house. Although she could not go out, every day when she stood in front of the window or walked in the courtyard, she could still see some clues.
The environment here was quiet and secluded, and the traces of people were rarely seen. Every time the food was cooked, it was extremely light. If Jiang Ruan had not ordered the mute servant to specially cook some fish and meat for the dog every day, she was afraid that not even the slightest bit of meat could be seen in the food. This was not a coincidence. Several times at dusk, Jiang Ruan could even hear the faint sound of a bell. She had roughly guessed that this place was very likely to be a temple. Perhaps it was in the mountains, or perhaps it was in the wilderness. In any case, the incense was not strong, and the population was sparse. Hiding herself here was really somewhat daring, but on second thought, it was no wonder that others could not find her.
Jiang Ruan did not know how far this place was from the capital, but it was also impossible to escape now. Forcing her way through under the layers of checkpoints was wishful thinking. Moreover, it was really not a good idea to leave before the matter was completed. When would Xuan Li make his move? Only when Xuan Li took that step, the rest of the matter could be carried out smoothly. Jiang Ruan reached out and picked up a small file at the side, and lightly made a cut on the head of the bed. There were already many small lines that had been cut in a disorderly manner. It was precisely the day she came here. Now that dozens of days had passed, Xuan Li should be starting to make his move.
…
That night, the sunny weather that had lasted for several days suddenly changed. In the evening, a strong wind suddenly blew, and dark clouds pressed down. In just a moment, bean-sized raindrops fell from the sky. The pedestrians hurriedly took shelter from the rain. It was as if the spring scenery of the past few days had suddenly reversed. At night, the wind and rain became even more miserable, and it was extraordinarily cold.
The main hall of the palace was very lonely. The burning sandalwood incense slowly emitted green smoke. The palace servants seemed to be used to such a dull atmosphere. They sat silently and minded their own business. In the emperor's bedroom, a man lay on the bed on the huge dragon wound. No matter how luxuriously dressed he was, he couldn't hide the look of death on his face.
A pair of hands picked up a handkerchief at the side and carefully wiped the sweat that did not appear on the Emperor's forehead. Her hands were slender and white, and her nails were painted with bright nail polish. She was beautiful and young. At first glance, she reminded people of flowers in spring. There was a kind of tenderness that almost dripped water. The only difference was that the Emperor's face was already gray. It was as if only skin and flesh were stuck to the skeleton. He looked very old and haggard. Beauty and ugliness, youth and old age, formed a sharp contrast at this moment. There was an indescribable sense of beauty.
The woman's face was like a peach blossom. She raised her little finger and pinched the handkerchief back into her hand. She observed the person on the bed with great interest. Her expression was serious, as if she was watching something interesting. After a while, the woman tilted her head and laughed. She said unhurriedly, "Your Majesty, you are really in a sorry state."
This person was none other than Dong Yinger. The palace servants guarding outside had already retreated to one side, leaving only Xiao Chen, no, it should be the current Chen gonggong. Hearing Dong Yinger's words, Chen gonggong did not show any special expression. He just stood quietly in the room, as if he did not exist.
Dong Yinger propped up her cheek with one hand and looked closely at the Emperor on the dragon bed. This man was the master of the world who was above tens of thousands and below one person. He could control a person's life and death with one sentence. When she had entered the palace because of this man, she had seen this man's majestic and unstoppable appearance. But so what if he was the Son of Heaven? Even now, he was still lying on the bed like a dead dog, unable to move and at the mercy of others. Even for her, she could easily kill all the masters in the world.
"A day together means a hundred days of love. Thinking about it now, I really cannot bear to act," Dong Yinger said with a smile.
"Niang niang, please hurry," Chen gonggong said expressionlessly. "I still have to return and explain to Master."
Hearing this, a hint of disgust flashed through Dong Yinger's eyes. She suddenly smiled and said, "Chen gonggong is impatient. There is no need to be impatient. At the very least, you will not have come for nothing." After she finished speaking, she took out a small bottle from her sleeve. She opened the cork and placed it under the tip of the Emperor's nose.
The Emperor's body moved. After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes.
"Your Majesty is awake?" Dong Yinger asked softly.
The Emperor was startled for a moment. His expression suddenly became somewhat sinister. He looked at Dong Yinger and shouted, "You harmed me?" Although he did his best to express his anger, his throat seemed to be blocked by something. He could only make out a hoarse and muddy sound. If one did not listen carefully, it was impossible to hear what he was saying.
Dong Yinger smiled and leaned close to the Emperor. She seemed to be carefully listening to the Emperor's words. Hearing this, she said, "Your Majesty, you have wronged me. It is not I who wants to harm you. It is your good son."
She purposely did not say which son it was. A trace of anger rose on the Emperor's face. However, this anger, for a patient on his deathbed, only made him appear more weak and powerless. Seeing this scene, Dong Yinger seemed to be even more happy. She even said, "Your Majesty, why don't you guess which son it is?"
The Emperor stared at her. His throat made a choking sound and he could not form a sentence. He could only call out with difficulty, "Someone come … Someone come! "
"Your Majesty, who else do you want to call?" Dong Yinger smiled slightly. "Your Majesty has been bedridden for so long. I'm afraid you don't know what your current situation is. Every day, it is I who personally takes care of Your Majesty. No one else can do it for me. Every day, I do my best to take care of Your Majesty. Yet, Your Majesty still wants to call for someone else. It really makes me very sad. "
"Witch … Witch!" The Emperor could only utter a few simple words.
"I am a witch? Then so be it. It is just that Your Majesty looks even worse than me, a witch. " Dong Yinger's hands touched the Emperor's cheeks. "Your Majesty's eyes seem to be thinking of someone to help. Who is it? Is it Eunuch Li? Your Majesty probably does not know, but a few days after Your Majesty fell ill, Eunuch Li committed suicide because of his worry. Tsk tsk, he threw himself into the dry well. When he was fished out, he was already unrecognizable. "
Dong Yinger's tone was light. The Emperor's eyes suddenly widened. He looked at her and said shakily, "It was you …"
"I already said it wasn't me." Dong Yinger grumbled. "How could I have such great ability? In this world, the only one with such great ability is naturally Your Majesty's good son. Does Your Majesty know which son it is? "
The Emperor did not speak. He only glared at Dong Yinger. His gaze was too frightening. If not for the fact that he was currently bedridden and weak, it looked as if he would have skinned Dong Yinger alive. He was like a goldfish on the verge of death. His eyeballs almost fell out of his eye sockets.
"If Your Majesty does not want to hear, then I won't say. I am very understanding." Dong Yinger giggled. Then, she said to Eunuch Chen, "Go bring the medicine over. This is His Majesty's last bowl of medicine. I have to personally help him drink it."
Hearing this, the Emperor's facial muscles twitched. Then, he said in a hoarse voice, "Do … What … "
"Of course, I have to feed Your Majesty the medicine." Dong Yinger pretended to be surprised. "I have remembered our little relationship as husband and wife with Your Majesty. So, today, I had Your Majesty wake up for a while. After you drink the medicine, Your Majesty will be free. Great Master Hui Jue said it well. There are many sufferings in the world, love and hate. Only by leaving the mortal world can one reach a great realm. I wholeheartedly think for Your Majesty. Is Your Majesty going to reward me with some trinkets? "
Her words were very interesting. It was as if she was acting coquettishly with her lover. However, her words were filled with undisguised murderous intent. Regicide. The Emperor struggled to sit up. He roared with all his might, "Impudent. Someone come … " However, his voice was very soft and could not reach the outside. His body could not move. How could he do anything? He was like a fish on a chopping block, waiting to be slaughtered.
"Your Majesty, stop shouting. Be careful of your body. This is not good. The Empress Dowager has already gone to rest. It is already late. I have always been the one to take care of Your Majesty. Today, since our fate is about to end, I will make things clear so that Your Majesty will not have any more worries. " She looked into the Emperor's eyes and said word by word, "Your Highness has long received Your Majesty's imperial edict. Naturally, it has been destroyed. Therefore, Your Majesty's intentions may not be fulfilled. However, Your Highness also asks Your Majesty not to worry. He will properly sit in that position and properly govern the Great Jin dynasty. Your Majesty can be at ease. "
When the Emperor heard the word 'imperial edict' in Dong Yinger's words, his expression suddenly changed. He then said angrily, "Unfilial son … Unfilial son … "
"This is how it is to be in the Imperial Family. Your Majesty need not worry." Dong Yinger seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. "Then, Your Majesty, there is no need to say anything else. It is late at night and the dew is heavy. Your Majesty should rest early." Saying so, she nodded to the other side. Eunuch Chen came forward with a bowl of medicine.
Dong Yinger took the bowl from Eunuch Chen's hands and carefully scooped some medicine into her mouth with a spoon to cool it. She then fed it to the Emperor. How could the Emperor drink it? He only looked at the bowl of medicine with anger and despair. A person's desire to live had always been strong. The Emperor used all his strength to tilt his head and the medicine in the spoon spilled all over the pillow. Dong Yinger sighed softly as if she had a headache. She sighed, "Your Majesty is really like a child. How can you be so noisy when taking medicine?" As she said this, she smiled at Eunuch Chen. "Eunuch Chen, please come and help."
The Emperor had seen this unfamiliar Chief Steward long ago. Eunuch Li had followed him for many years. There was a bond between master and servant. Now that this unfamiliar eunuch could replace Eunuch Li's position, he had most likely played a part in the attack on Eunuch Li. Thus, at this moment, the inside and outside of the bedchamber were completely different people. None of them were his people! He looked at Dong Yinger. This woman was used to acting meek. It was not that he did not know what she was thinking, but he did not expect her to be so daring. She even dared to do something like killing the Emperor. How foolish. Did she think that after killing him, she would be able to escape unscathed?
Eunuch Chen called out and walked to the Emperor's side. He was very strong. At this moment, the Emperor was already weak and powerless. He almost effortlessly lifted the Emperor up. The Emperor could not move. Dong Yinger smiled and once again fed the medicine into the Emperor's mouth, spoonful by spoonful.
Unable to move, his entire body was restrained. This was the first time the Emperor had tasted such a feeling. He closed his eyes. He knew the condition of his body better than anyone else. Even without this bowl of medicine, he wouldn't have been able to hold on for long. This bowl of medicine had only brought forward that day, and he couldn't avoid this ending. Fortunately, things had not reached the worst stage. The path he had laid out earlier had finally been put to use. Even if he died, at least it would not be in vain.
Dong Yinger watched as the Emperor closed his eyes. She did not seem to find it troublesome. Her voice was moving. "After Your Majesty drinks this medicine, you do not need to worry about being lonely in the future. I know that Your Majesty loves Zhaoyi the most, so not long after, I will send Zhaoyi with you to accompany Your Majesty."
The Emperor suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Dong Yinger. He did not say anything. However, his gaze was like the last anger and gloom of a dying person. It wrapped around Dong Yinger, making her feel a bit guilty. She was brave and abruptly smiled. "Zhaoyi Mu will also be very happy." After saying this, she fed the medicine into the Emperor's mouth even faster. Even the medicinal juice began to flow from the corner of the Emperor's mouth. Her actions became more ruthless and carried a glimmer of vengeance.
Spoonful by spoonful, the medicine was fed into the Emperor's mouth. It was a fatal medicine. His life was slipping away bit by bit. By the end, the Emperor had already stopped breathing. However, Dong Yinger was still very serious. Bit by bit, she fed the last spoonful to the Emperor's mouth. Then, she took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the corner of the Emperor's mouth. She sent him back to his original position to lie down and covered him with the blanket. She was like the most virtuous wife serving her husband.
After doing all of this, Dong Yinger said to Eunuch Chen, "Go back and report to your master."
Eunuch Chen nodded and turned to walk out of the bedroom. Dong Yinger sat alone by the bed. The person on the bed was already a corpse. He no longer had the usual vitality. The Master of the World, who could summon the wind and rain and was second only to one person, was just a withered corpse. He no longer had any deterrence. However, the expression on Dong Yinger's face was not as calm as before. Her hands were still trembling slightly.
However, in just a moment, the panic in her eyes disappeared and was replaced by a deep sense of ruthlessness. She looked at the person on the bed and said in a low voice, "So what if he is the Master of the World? He is just as lamentable. In that case, let's go to hell together." She sat by the bed like a statue for a long time. Until the oil lamp was about to burn out, there was a little eunuch's voice outside. Dong Yinger slowly raised her eyes and looked at the hourglass that was placed on a high shelf as a tribute from the West. A strange smile appeared on her face.
The next moment, her expression changed and a panicked voice came out of her mouth. "Not good! Something has happened to His Majesty — "
The Emperor's condition suddenly worsened. The imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital couldn't save the situation even if they went all out. When the imperial physicians arrived, the person on the bed had lost all vitality.
In fact, this was something that every imperial physician had expected. When Xia Qing, the Holy Hand of Jinling, personally treated the Emperor, she said that medicine was ineffective. Since medicine was ineffective, he was just hanging on to life in vain. There would be a day when the oil lamp would run out, but they didn't expect that day to come so soon. All the imperial physicians gathered together, and there was a sense of crisis before the storm.
It was night, and the Emperor's bedroom was brightly lit. When dawn broke in the east, the first ray of sunlight broke through the heavy palace walls and shone into the gloomy and dark palace. A eunuch wearing a robe dragged out a long and shrill voice. "His Majesty — has passed away —"
The mourning voice shook the sky, and the whole court wailed.
The Eighth Prince, who had rushed over after hearing the news, stood in front of the Emperor's bed with a sad face and couldn't help crying. He seemed to be very sad, but he had to endure this sadness and couldn't lose his composure. In the eyes of others, he did look like a filial son. Eunuch Chen stood behind him with his head bowed, and his expression was sorrowful.
Xuan Li looked at the Emperor's face, but in his mind, he thought of what Eunuch Chen had said to him. The Emperor's reaction to Dong Yinger's probing words before his death was indeed not different from what the others had expected. It seemed that the Emperor had really written another imperial edict. Now that the imperial edict was in his hands, he naturally had no worries. In the future, he just had to wait for this storm to pass, find Qi Man, and completely tear up the imperial edict. In this world, he would be the rightful heir.
As Xuan Li thought this, he suddenly felt a gaze fall on him. He followed the gaze and found Xuan Pei looking coldly at him. There was no sorrow on Xuan Pei's face. Instead, he was very calm. And in his gaze when he looked at Xuan Li, there was a kind of understanding, as if he already knew how all of this had happened.
Xuan Li himself didn't know. Xuan Pei was only a teenager, so how could he have such a terrifying gaze? It was as if he could see into a person's heart with a glance, and no thoughts could be hidden from those eyes. He froze for a moment, then looked away. The corners of his lips twitched slightly. No matter how terrifying he was, he was still at a disadvantage in this situation. His life could end here. Since the Emperor had already passed away, it was naturally his turn next.
Among the mournful people in the room, other than Xuan Pei, there was another person with an extremely indifferent expression. It was Mu Xirou. Her pretty face was as cold as ice and she didn't show any special expression. However, Mu Xirou's personality had always been this cold, so the others didn't find it strange. However, standing next to Mu Xirou, Dong Yinger seemed especially pitiful.
Dong Yinger's eyes were red from crying, her hair was a little messy, and her face was haggard. It was as if she didn't care what she looked like at all. Everyone in the palace knew that Dong Yinger was a person who valued friendship. After the Emperor fell ill, Dong Yinger had always been the one to take care of him. She never felt bored and did it better than anyone else. Now that the Emperor had died, she looked extremely sad. Compared to the expressionless Mu Xirou, it was enough to make people sigh in their hearts.
Empress Dowager Yi De sat in the same place with a heavy expression. The people around her came and went, but her expression didn't relax in the slightest. She had always known better than anyone else why things had come to this point. But occasionally, there would be a trace of sorrow in her eyes.
At this moment, Xia Qing, who had been examining the Emperor's body for the last time, stood up with a medicine box on his back. His expression was solemn. Although there were many important ministers standing at the moment, he had always been a straightforward person and didn't think of avoiding anything. Instead, he directly said, "Reporting to the Empress Dowager, His Majesty is not a lamp that has run out of oil. There is something strange inside."
When Empress Dowager Yi De heard this, she immediately shouted, "Xia Qing, do you know what you are saying in front of Aijia!"
"This commoner doesn't dare to deceive the Empress Dowager. When this commoner examined His Majesty's body, he found that His Majesty had been poisoned. This poison isn't rare, but it was mixed with His Majesty's original illness, so it wasn't easy to find. If the imperial doctors carefully examine him, they will certainly be able to see some clues. "
All the imperial doctors looked at each other. They really hadn't examined the Emperor's body. The body of a dead Emperor wasn't something anyone could touch. Moreover, with Xia Qing's previous words, everyone knew that the Emperor's body was already in such a state. The imperial doctors had always been conservative in their work, and protecting themselves was the most important thing. How could they have thought of this? Empress Dowager Yi De's expression changed slightly. She touched the ruby armor on her finger and said sternly, "Investigate!"
Several of the imperial doctors immediately obeyed. After a while, the remaining imperial doctors came out of the bedroom. Their faces were also very ugly, and there was even some sweat on their foreheads. Looking at Empress Dowager Yi De, she trembled and said, "Reporting to the Empress Dowager, Divine Doctor Xia is right. His Majesty has indeed been poisoned. Moreover, the poison is still fresh, so it should have just been swallowed. It's just that the poison is too strong, so … "
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked! Their gazes couldn't help but fall on Dong Yinger. Dong Yinger was responsible for taking care of the Emperor's daily life. Since there was a problem, naturally, she would be the first to attract everyone's attention. Dong Yinger was also shocked and said, "No … It's not me. It wasn't me. The medicine I gave His Majesty was prepared by the medicinal kitchen. " She looked panicked. It really didn't seem likely, but there were many people in the palace who were used to acting. Who knew whether it was true or not?
"Imperial Grandmother, you see …" Xuan Li stepped forward, his expression mournful with just the right amount of anger, "Imperial Father was actually killed by this person. This person is guilty of a heinous crime. He must be found and will not be tolerated!"
Empress Dowager Yi De didn't speak. Her gaze paused on Xuan Pei for a moment. Xuan Pei's expression was very calm. Empress Dowager Yi De slowly withdrew her hand that was stroking the armor. She lightly said, "Investigate, thoroughly investigate the entire palace!"
… …
The moment dawn broke, Xiao Shao stood in front of the window with his hands clasped behind his back. No one knew what he was thinking. Housekeeper Lin silently put on a robe for him and whispered, "Master, it's time for you to enter the palace."
The news of the Emperor's death reached Jinying Wangfu almost immediately, but Xiao Shao didn't immediately get up and go to the palace. There were many officials in the capital. Naturally, because of this sudden news, they began to worry about what might happen in the future. There were no carriages parked at the entrance of Jinying Wangfu, and there were no guests in the house. Jinying Wangfu was very quiet, and their master had been in the study all night.
Even though Housekeeper Lin had taken care of Xiao Shao for so many years, there were times when Housekeeper Lin couldn't see through what Xiao Shao was thinking. For example, at this moment, was there a trace of sadness in Xiao Shao's heart? He also didn't know. There was probably some. After all, they were relatives who were related by blood. That person had been trying to compensate Xiao Shao for so many years. Even if Xiao Shao did something outrageous, he would turn a blind eye to it.
Xiao Shao didn't know what Housekeeper Lin was thinking. He knew that the moment the Emperor died, there wasn't much turbulence in his heart. All of this had already been expected. The Emperor was just a stranger to him. As for the former Crown Prince Hong Xi and Xiang Xiaoyuan, Xiao Shao had never seen them. But as for the old Jinying Wangcouple, Xiao Shao had been raised by them since he was a child. Naturally, he had a familial affection. All of this had been destroyed by the Emperor. Speaking of which, he should hate him.
However, Xiao Shao didn't even have the emotion of 'hate'. As for the Southern Frontier, he wanted to exterminate them. Because this was the only thing he could do. In this life, he didn't seem to have any purpose. He also didn't know what the meaning of his solitary journey was. Perhaps accepting the Jinyi Guard and taking revenge for Crown Prince Hong Xi and Xiang Xiaoyuan was the meaning of his life. So, he really did this. Disregarding his own life and death, he looked at it indifferently. He lived alone until he met Jiang Ruan.
Perhaps that was another meaning of his life. That woman was fresh and different from others. He didn't know when she had attracted his attention. In the end, it was confirmed that they had met in their previous lives. Heaven's fate had always been there. Perhaps it was a pity that they had missed each other in their previous lives, so Jiang Ruan was given a chance to start over. He didn't want Jiang Ruan to repeat the same mistakes, so he wanted to use his whole life to protect this woman.
And now, everything that Jiang Ruan had done was based on the fact that she had predicted everything that would happen today. Xiao Shao's heart was very calm. There wasn't even a trace of fluctuation in his gaze, and there was no warmth on his face.
"Xuan Li is about to make his move." Xiao Shao suddenly said. This abrupt sentence made Housekeeper Lin jump in fright. He looked at his master in confusion. Xiao Shao was admittedly cold and cheerless, but what did he mean by saying something that had nothing to do with the Emperor's death?
"It will be done very soon." Very soon, he would be able to pick up Jiang Ruan. Xiao Shao didn't continue. Draping the clothes that Housekeeper Lin had given him, he slowly walked out the door. Housekeeper Lin was left standing alone in his original spot.
Although there was no sunlight in the morning, the reflection of Housekeeper Lin's face was exceptionally clear. If one were to look carefully, they would discover that the wrinkles on that crisscrossed face had already faded a lot. A person's appearance could change, but when the white hair that was proof of age quietly turned black and the wrinkles gradually faded, youth made the entire face look like a completely different person.
Housekeeper Lin, who was wearing an unfamiliar face, was stunned for a moment. He also smiled and shook his head. Suddenly, he sighed and said, "The old general has made his move, the old general has made his move. It's finally my, this distinguished and elegant old general's turn."
…
The news of the Emperor's death spread like wildfire throughout the entire capital. The common people were anxious and uneasy. At the beginning of spring, the true dragon of the Great Jin dynasty, the Son of Heaven, had returned, leaving behind an undecided candidate to be the heir apparent. The civil and military officials each had their own plans. They were betting their entire net worth on an unknown future.
Zhao Jin worriedly looked at her Second Brother and said, "Second Brother, with His Majesty like this, what is the situation in court now?" The future heir apparent had always been an unresolved problem. The Emperor's death had come suddenly. What was even more surprising was that before this, the Emperor had not revealed any intention of appointing a Crown Prince. Before the Emperor fell ill, the Crown Prince had already been deposed. It should have been appointed earlier, but the Emperor had not made any moves, as if he was observing something. This was understandable. After all, the Eighth Prince, Xuan Li, had always been outstanding. However, he had a dragging mother, Imperial Consort Chen, while the Thirteenth Prince, a rising star, had already displayed his intelligence and quick-wittedness. However, he did not have the support of a strong mother's family. These two people's talents and methods of governing the world were not bad. However, to really choose one was somewhat difficult.
It was just that while the Emperor was observing, he probably did not expect that he would fall ill so quickly. Moreover, after falling ill, he never regained consciousness. Until his death, he did not have the opportunity to appoint another Crown Prince. The fight for the throne was something that everyone knew would inevitably happen. However, without an imperial edict, it would only make things more chaotic and the fighting more intense.
"How can you and I guess His Majesty's thoughts at will?" Second Brother Zhao interrupted his younger sister's words. "Do not say these words outside to avoid attracting trouble. Recently, the capital has been very chaotic."
"Yes," Elder Brother Zhao heard this and walked over, nodding Zhao Jin's head. "You have a straightforward personality and do not know the strangeness of this. I think it is best for everyone to obediently stay in the fu these days to avoid trouble. "
Zhao Jin pushed his hand away. "I am also worried about Father. These days, Father also looks very anxious. I do not know what I can do. His Majesty's death came too suddenly. What will the situation in the capital be like in the future, who can say for sure? " Zhao Jin, who had always been optimistic, also felt a trace of worry at this moment. A group of dragons without a head, would the court without the Emperor really be good? After all, Empress Dowager Yi De was old. Even if she came out to preside over the situation, she would not be able to suppress it. In the end, it was still very worrying.
