Chapter 969 Nightmare
Xie Yuan turned his eyes, looked at Dugujian next to him vigilantly, and said coldly:
"Can't kill, otherwise I want you to be buried with me!"

Dugu Jian heard it, as if he had been greatly insulted, he suppressed his voice and said angrily:
"This is exactly what I want to tell you! If you have second thoughts, I will never forgive you!"

Xie Yuan hadn't said anything yet, but Shen Liuzhen calmly rectified her name with lowered eyes:
"A Yuan is not that kind of person. She has been upright since she was a child, and she can't do anything that breaks her promise."

Unexpectedly, Dugujian sneered and said:
"Oh, she can see you, and she has become a husband and wife with someone like you, where can she go!"

For a moment, even the air was silent.

Xie Yuan and Shen Liuzhen looked at each other, then tilted their heads slightly and thought for a while, seemingly speechless.

Shen Liuzhen couldn't bear this dumb loss, and retorted a little excitedly:
"What's wrong with a person like me? Can't a person like me have one or two advantages? You forgot that you and I had a good conversation back then, and you once dragged me to tell you books and stories? You didn't Do you still like me?"

Dugujian shuddered, as if he couldn't bear to be so stupid at the beginning, glared at Shen Liuzhen and said in a majestic tone, "It was then!", then turned and got out of the car.

Xie Yuan looked at Shen Liuzhen, sighed helplessly, seemed very melancholy, and told him in a gentle voice:
"Rest well, I'll call you when we arrive."

……

……

Before Xie Yuan left the team, the two saw off outside Shen Liuzhen's carriage.

It was almost dark by then.In order to prevent such a big movement from disturbing the people, and to reduce unknown resistance, they specially chose to enter the city when it was dark.

And before again, Xie Yuan wanted to control the movement of the Central Guard Army in the name of His Majesty with the Tiger Talisman for dispatching troops.

Under the dim light and the cool breeze, Shen Liuzhen's unhealthy face became more and more obvious. A few strands of hair swayed with the wind and brushed against his face, making people feel distressed.

Xie Yuan pulled the cloak around him for him, wrapped him tightly, and asked worriedly:
"can you?"

Shen Liuzhen pursed his slightly pale lips and smiled sweetly, just about to speak.Xie Yuan answered for him:
"No way!"

The tone was like an order, and there was stubbornness in the eyes.

So Shen Liuzhen shut his mouth obediently, just looked at her and smiled, without saying a word.

Xie Yuan's pupils shrank slightly, he suppressed the worries in his heart, raised his arms and gave him a neat hug, then turned and left.

Shen Liuzhen got into the carriage silently, looked at the profile of Wu Lei lying inside, and ordered softly:
"Let's go too."

……

Naturally, no one dared to stop the emperor's car, even though it was clearly informed that civil and military officials would greet him the next morning, but when the commander of the guards, Dugujian, was about to enter the palace with the emperor's guard of honor and imperial decree, they still did not hesitate opened the door.

After the car drove into the inner palace, the city gate officer couldn't help his heart skip a beat when he saw the troops of the Central Guard gathered outside, adding people to almost all patrolling positions, and murmured:
"This is what's going to happen."

Empress Feng Boyang was awakened from her sleep. Hearing that the emperor's car had entered the palace overnight, she dressed happily and went to meet him.

When they got outside, they found a group of people standing beside the imperial carriage, standing silently in the background of the night, like ghosts.

A bad premonition hit her heart, her smoky eyebrows showed a rare light of panic, and she asked:
"What about Your Majesty?"

The trusted eunuch serving Emperor Ulei suddenly covered his face and cried out, saying:
"His Majesty is in the car."

Empress Feng Boyang suppressed her shock and curiosity, and still walked over with a steady pace, carefully looked at Shen Liuzhen and Dugujian's mournful expressions, and called "Your Majesty" to the carriage.

No one answered.

Her heart was beating wildly with fear, and she stepped up to the carriage with hope.

In the carriage, Emperor Ulay was dressed in bed clothes, as if he was asleep.

She approached slowly, and reached out to touch his hand outside. It was cold, and it was so cold that she quickly took her hand back.

"Your Majesty... what's the matter with you?" The queen was terrified, her eyes were red with disbelief, and suddenly she felt that the air in her chest was sucked out, and she couldn't breathe, as if she was about to suffocate.

She beat her chest hard, tears fell down uncontrollably, as heavy as beads, and hit the floor so loudly, she murmured: "...What kind of nightmare am I having?"

After all, he passed out.

When he woke up again, everyone he saw was wearing white filial piety, and the crown prince Di Douyin was holding hands by the nanny and crying by the bedside.

Shen Liuzhen was sitting at the end of her bed, dressed in white, wearing a white cloth on his head, and said indifferently and expressionlessly:
"Queen, Your Majesty has passed away. I have notified all civil and military officials to come to worship and listen to His Majesty's will. I also ask the Queen to mourn and preside over the overall situation."

It was still dark.The lights in the hall were shrouded in yellow shadows, and everything felt unreal.

She didn't say a word.

Seeing that she had lost her soul, Shen Liuzhen just sat there, neither crying nor making noises, she was quite calm, her heart was a little more at ease, and then she handed her the letter written by Ulay in advance from her arms.

The queen subconsciously reached out to take it, looked at the familiar handwriting on the envelope, and didn't move for a while.

At this time, the officials who lived in the outer city woke up from their sleep. When they heard that His Majesty had passed away, they all rushed to the palace in panic, and their carriages galloped on the streets at night.

A person suddenly came out from the side alley, the galloping carriage stopped suddenly, Shi Yucaizhuang, the northern lord stuck his head out from inside, and said angrily:
"Who stopped the car?!"

"It's me! Shi Yufeng. My lord, Xie Yuan took His Majesty's Tiger Talisman and ordered the other four departments not to move without permission, otherwise she will be punished as treason, and she will lead the central camp to encircle the outer city!" The person blocking the way stretched his arms excitedly say.

Shi Yucaizhuang looked at his generous and round figure, and said angrily:
"I need you to report now? I've seen it all! Useless stuff! Why don't you know about His Majesty's death? Didn't it mean that the point of the dagger from the Empress Dowager Bao is not a serious problem?!  … ...Get out of here! I'll settle accounts with you later!"

Shi Yufeng hurriedly moved away from the galloping carriage. He looked at the leaving carriage with a face full of entanglement and distress. He hesitated for a long time, and finally ran away through the alley.

……

The queen was completely plain, sitting on the deputy seat next to the main seat in the main hall, holding a letter in her hand, looking at the noisy officials below, her eyes were dull, as if she was still in a dream.

Shen Liuzhen opened the imperial decree in his hand, flipped it over, displayed it in the eyes of everyone, and said loudly:
"This imperial decree was written by His Majesty himself, and there is absolutely no forgery. You are all people who have been watching His Majesty's Zhu Zhu all day, so you must recognize this handwriting."
