Chapter 162
The Imperial Study Room, which is always crowded with people, is quiet at this time.Except for Emperor Dongling and Zhao Han staying in silence inside, no other voices were heard.

Emperor Dongling sat on the dragon chair in a daze, and murmured as if he couldn't believe it, "You said, the second child died in prison?"

Looking at Emperor Dong Ling whose temples turned white overnight, Zhao Han secretly sighed in his heart. "Your Majesty, my condolences are with you." Zhao Han felt that the person sitting on top of him at this time was not the king of a country in Dongling, but an ordinary citizen who had just experienced the pain of bereavement.

But this thought just flashed through Zhao Han's mind, because he just remembered that when the twelve princes died before, Emperor Dongling was still indifferent, so now the state that Emperor Dongling has manifested can only let him Zhao Han felt that Emperor Dong Ling would be so sad because after Xiao Jue died, no one could compete with Xiao Yu.

This kind of balance of power between the two parties that had made Emperor Dong Ling feel at ease before was broken, and it was normal for Emperor Dong Ling to show this old and tired state.

"As a result of the autopsy, the second child committed suicide?" Emperor Dong Ling's voice was full of exhaustion.

Zhao Han listened to Emperor Dong Ling's question, and immediately put away his thoughts that he shouldn't have had before. "The autopsy results of Wu Zuo said that the second prince hanged himself in the prison at Chenshi. The minister also checked the entire cell before, and there was no sign that the cell door had been opened, and there was no abnormality in the entire prison. The jailer last night also No strange noises were heard."

Emperor Dongling's complexion became paler and paler with Zhao Han's detailed report.

"I see. You go down first." Originally, he wanted to ask a few more questions, but just as the words came to his lips, he took them back into his stomach.Emperor Dongling waved his hand and asked Zhao Han to step back, he wanted to stay alone in the imperial study.

Zhao Han bowed to Emperor Dongling, and quickly retreated out the door.

Emperor Dong Ling covered his forehead with one hand and grabbed his chest with the other. His head was buzzing, and he felt a suffocation in his chest.

But Emperor Dong Ling didn't ask anyone to come in, he just gritted his teeth and sat on the dragon chair, waiting for the discomfort in his body to pass.But he waited for a long time, but he still couldn't wait for the abnormality in his body to disappear, because Emperor Dong Ling found that as soon as Xiao Jue's face appeared in his mind, the pain that appeared on his body would be a little more painful.

Gritting his teeth like this, Emperor Dong Ling couldn't bear it anymore, and could only spit out a word, "Come..."

He could only insist on uttering one word, and soon, Emperor Dong Ling fell from the dragon chair and fell to the ground, making a loud noise.

The servants who were guarding the door didn't hear Emperor Dong Ling's cry, but the sound he made when he fell to the ground was truly heard by those guarding the door.

Surprised, the head servant immediately pushed open the closed door of the imperial study room. While entering quickly, he also confessed to the other people guarding the door, "Hurry up and pass on the imperial doctor. And the prince's Highness, also Send a message."

In front of the imperial study room, which had always been rigorous and quiet, suddenly became flustered because of a word from the chief servant.

……

The news that Emperor Dongling fainted in the imperial study soon spread throughout the capital.

After Xia Zhi heard Bai Yi tell her all the rumors in the market, her eyes seemed to light up suddenly.She pursed her lips lightly, Xia Zhi was in a good mood today, "Go and call Xiao Yu."

Bai Yi stopped pouring tea for Xia Zhi, and asked suspiciously, "Xiao Yu should be guarding in front of Emperor Dongling's bed at this time."

Xia Zhi took the teacup that Bai Yi handed her, and didn't lift the lid to put it in the mouth. Instead, she held the cup with one hand, while she flicked her sleeve with the other, revealing the little green snake wrapped around her wrist.

"Don't worry, even with the imperial doctor here, Emperor Dongling won't wake up for a while." Xia Zhi knew what Bai Yi was wondering about, but since she had such an order, of course she had a complete understanding of the matter. grasp.

After hearing Xia Zhi's last words, Bai Yi nodded immediately, and left neatly.

The moment Bai Yi had just stepped out of the room, Ah Li jumped in from the window, "Miss, I have already sent you to General Han." There is still a little dusty feeling on the body.

Xia Zhi slightly closed her eyelids, "And then?"

"No more." A Li replied blankly.He couldn't quite understand what Xia Zhi wanted to ask.

"..." Right after A Li's words were spoken, Xia Zhi's eyelashes trembled a little.Putting down the teacup that had been held in her palm before, Xia Zhi seemed to take a deep breath in her heart before continuing, "Then, did Brother Han say when he will attack the city?"

After Xia Zhi finished saying this, she raised her eyelids and stared at Ah Li with her red eyes.

A Li, who had been focusing on Xia Zhi before, was stunned for a moment when he met Xia Zhi's eyes.

A look of embarrassment suddenly appeared on Ah Li's baby face.

"The city is already under siege."

"Yeah." Xia Zhi nodded, and finally shifted her gaze away from Ah Li's body, and turned to the fragile body between her wrists.Gently stroking the crunchy and smooth outer skin with her fingertips, Xia Zhi's face showed no emotion, and said lightly, "Since the city has been attacked, send me a message to Xiao Yu now. "

"Let Xiao Yu go directly to the gate of the city, or if he can pass the decree on behalf of Emperor Dongling, as long as the gate of the capital can be opened immediately. Put all the soldiers who surrounded the capital into the city, and tell Xiao Yu that this is What I want him to do. As long as Brother Han can come here to see me before dark, after three days, I can put him on the throne."

"Yes." After hearing Xia Zhi's order, A Li immediately jumped out of the window.

When A Li left, probably because he moved too hastily, he accidentally knocked on the window door with a sound.

Xia Zhi followed that voice, looking at the sky outside the window with deep eyes.

The sun was shining brightly, and there were no clouds in the sky. Xia Zhi's crunchy fingers trembled as soon as she touched them.

As if feeling Xia Zhi's abnormality, before enjoying the crunchiness of Xia Zhi's touch, she immediately raised her head between Xia Zhi's wrists.Opening the tightly closed mouth of the snake, it spit out its slender and bright red snake letter crisply, and licked Xia Zhi's finger that was stroking its body before.

"Winter has passed, crispy, is your hibernation coming to an end?" Xia Zhi didn't look back from the window, she just looked at the clear sky and murmured.

Crispy continued to lick Xia Zhi's fingers, trying to drag her back from this absent-minded state.

It is rare that not a single cloud can be seen in the sky, so at this time, the sun is emitting a fiery light, shining light on every corner of the capital city.

……

Xiao Yu led a few attendants and rode quickly through the street connecting the palace and the city gate.Regardless of the people walking on the street, Xiao Yu just wanted to rush over before Han Poli led someone to knock on the city gate.

The horses drove all the way, but fortunately when Xiao Yu arrived, the city gate was still closed.

Xiao Yu jumped off the horse neatly and walked directly towards the generals defending the city. "How long has it been since the siege?"

Hearing Xiao Yu's voice suddenly, the generals defending the city suddenly became a little bit in vain.Withdrawing his eyes from under the high city wall, the dark face of the general defending the city was full of worry, "His Royal Highness came here in person, is there an order from the emperor to pass on?"

Because this is just a military general, Xiao Yu didn't mind even if the tone of the general who defended the city was a bit harsh.

With a wave of his hand, Xiao Yu asked the city defender who was a little far away from him to come over, "How long has it been since the siege?" Xiao Yu asked the previous sentence again.

The general defending the city replied in a deep voice, "It has been more than half an hour."

During this most of the hour, the general who defended the city led the people stationed in the capital to resist for a long time with the extremely rare armaments in the city.It's just that it's just a short time of effort, but it doesn't actually see any effect.

Because they were facing soldiers who had actually fought on the battlefield.It's not those people who just stay at the city gate all day, pretending that they haven't seen the big scene.

Furthermore, because Emperor Dongling feared that Han Poli would be the temporary general of the city defense battalion, he did not equip them with any military equipment.

"En." However, the latter sentence of the general who defended the city made Xiao Yu nodded in satisfaction.

Slightly squinting his eyes, Xiao Yu seemed to be able to see a cold figure on horseback behind these siege soldiers.Xiao Yu clenched his fists slightly, pondered for a while, and then gave an order to the guarding general, "Go and open the city gate."

"His Royal Highness!" The general defending the city opened his mouth in surprise as if he had heard something unbelievable.

Xiao Yu frowned slightly, "This is the imperial father's oral order, you quickly send someone to open the city gate and let them all into the city."

Even after hearing Xiao Yu say that this was an oral order from Emperor Dongling, the generals defending the city still did not take any action, "But, if we really let them in..."

"They are all citizens of our Dongling, so why not let them enter the city." Xiao Yu waved his hand impatiently, not wanting to explain any more.

Han Poli just led people to surround the capital first, and then he just led people to knock on the city gate in a nonsense manner. Without Xiao Yu's order, it would be a matter of time before Han Poli knocked on the city gate.

It's just that letting Xiao Yu speak now has another meaning.

Listening to Xiao Yu's instructions, even though the general guarding the city still felt something was wrong, he followed his instructions.

Facing the sun, the city gate that had been closed for many days was finally opened.
