phoenix jiuxiao

Chapter 112

"Princess, Your Majesty is inside." Ouyang Xun led Su Hailing and Mu Qingchen to the door of the Queen's bedroom.

"Thank you." Su Hailing nodded.

Just like the previous night visit, there were no attendants in the palace, only countless lights, which seemed extraordinarily deserted in this silent night.

"Is the deep palace really this cold?" Mu Qingchen whispered.

"No." Su Hailing said without thinking, "With you here, this place is warm."

Mu Qingchen was stunned, and there seemed to be something more in his eyes looking at her.

Stepping into the inner hall, I saw Su Xueling sitting quietly behind the phoenix case, carefully looking at a memorial.

"Sister Huang." Su Hailing walked over holding Mu Qingchen's hand, smiling authentically.

"Hailing is here? Sit down." Su Xueling raised his head, turned his eyes on Mu Qingchen, and said with a smile, "Is he the queen you picked?"

"Not bad." Su Hailing said, "My vision is better than Miss Huang's, right?"

"Situ Ye seems to have been chosen by you." Su Xueling said angrily.

"Didn't you force it?" Su Hailing raised his eyebrows.

"Forget it, it's useless to talk about it." Su Xueling shook his head, and just about to speak again, suddenly his face turned pale, and he quickly turned his head away, covered his lips with one hand, and coughed violently.

"Sister Huang!" Su Hailing was taken aback.

"No...cough cough...it's okay, cough cough cough..." Su Xueling coughed until an abnormal blush appeared on Su Xueling's pale face, and it took a while to calm down.

"If your majesty doesn't mind, can you let me feel the pulse." Mu Qingchen stepped forward and said.

"You know medical skills?" Su Xueling asked in surprise.

Mu Qingchen nodded, but did not speak.

"Alright." Su Xueling smiled and stretched out his right hand.

Mu Qingchen touched her veins with three fingers, and after a long time, he slowly frowned.

"How?" Su Hailing whispered.

"Your Majesty was injured by a sword a few years ago. The sharp sword pierced through his lungs. As long as he recuperates slowly, there will be no major problems. But..." Mu Qingchen thought for a while and said, "The palace's diet has been added too much. Messy things, coupled with overwork and illness, I'm afraid... the days are numbered."

Su Hailing was taken aback when he heard the words. Although he had always heard the news that Su Xueling was critically ill, and even gave him the jade seal, every time he saw her she didn't look like a dying person, so he always had a little doubt in his heart.

"You are really pure." Su Xueling said with a smile, "The imperial physicians can see my illness, but no one dares to say it, and they are all fooling me with words such as rest assured and no serious problems. Only you dare to say that my time is numbered."

"Could it be that Your Majesty wants to hear Qingchen's comfort?" Mu Qingchen said indifferently.

Su Xueling withdrew her hand and only asked, "How long?"

Mu Qingchen was startled for a moment, and then realized that she was asking about the time limit of his own life. After a moment of silence, he said: "If it continues like this, it will only be a few days."

"So serious?" Su Hailing asked in surprise.

Su Xueling gave a wry smile, and opened his left hand, which was covering his mouth and coughing just now, and saw that the white palm had spots of bright red, and it was full of blood.

Su Hailing sighed, coughing up blood, her internal injuries are probably...

"Hailing, do you hate me?" Su Xueling asked suddenly.

hatred?Su Hailing was slightly taken aback.It turned out that Su Hailing didn't know whether he hated her or not, but she really didn't hate her.After accepting this body and this identity, she still doesn't have a sense of belonging to the blood of the Holy Emperor.Naturally, they couldn't hate Su Xueling either.

From the standpoint of an outsider, Su Xueling did nothing wrong. The struggle between the imperial powers is justified.

"I don't hate it." Su Hailing shook his head.

"What an unexpected answer." Su Xueling smiled lowly, "Hailing, I didn't like you before, and I still don't like you now, but I no longer have a choice. The world cannot be handed over to those two people."

Su Hailing couldn't help but wry smile, is it another "no choice"?Lan Qinshuang was like this, Yun Mo was like this, even Mei Junhan back then was like this!

"Hailing, if I'm gone, how sure are you that you can control the capital?" Su Xueling asked.

"If it's just controlling the capital, I'm at least [-]% sure." Su Hailing thought for a while and said, "But even if I control the capital, there are still a few variables."

"The matter of the Zhenyuan Army is not difficult." Su Xueling sighed softly, "After you ascended the throne, you immediately reversed the case for General Zhenyuan. I believe they will be happy to submit to you. Since you are [-]% sure, you must have reached a consensus with the Lan family. The remaining part of the army is naturally nothing to worry about."

Su Hailing raised his eyebrows, which was regarded as acquiescence. Although the general situation was the same, the Phantom Gate and another so-called "blood of the Holy Emperor" were a huge variable.

"That's all." Su Xueling slowly closed his eyes, and said a little tiredly, "I don't have much time, and I can't control what the world will become in the future. I just ask you one thing... Take care of me." It's as good as a cloud."

Yan Ruoyun?Empress Feng?

Su Hailing looked at her in surprise, he didn't expect that Su Xueling, who was as indifferent and ruthless as Su Xueling, would still be genuinely moved by Queen Feng.

"Phoenix Empress, it's just a lonely title." After a while, Su Xueling opened his eyes again, looked at Mu Qingchen and said, "You are not from a noble family, if you step into this position, you will understand the wind knife and frost sword above... ...Go ahead and ask Ouyang to come in."

"Miss Huang, rest well." Su Hailing sighed, pulled Mu Qingchen out, and told Ouyang Xun who was waiting outside the palace.

"Hailing, do you want me to be the Queen of Phoenix?" Mu Qingchen asked suddenly as he walked on the deserted path in the Imperial Garden.

"Qingchen is not willing?" Su Hailing turned his head, his eyes were full of smiles.

What Su Xueling said, it's not that she didn't think about it. After being sealed, Mu Qingchen now has the exquisite golden tripod, and no one has any reason to prevent him from becoming the queen.What's more, if the child in Qingchen's stomach is a girl, it will be the eldest daughter of the emperor.

As for whether Mu Qingchen could sit firmly in the back seat, she wasn't worried at all.

Saying that he is simple... Hehe, I am afraid that those who underestimate him will suffer in the future.

"It's not that I don't want to, it's just..." Mu Qingchen said with a smile, "I remember when you were on Xiaohan Mountain, you lied to me that serving the king was the meaning of the master."

"Hehe..." Su Hailing couldn't help laughing dryly.

Xiaohanshan, those three years were probably the most carefree days in her life.

"When..." At this moment, there was a low sound of a bell ringing suddenly from behind.

"What's going on?" Mu Qingchen asked inexplicably.

Su Hailing was also puzzled, whether it was early or late at this time, what kind of clock was ringing!
"Go and see?" Mu Qingchen suggested.

"En." Su Hailing nodded, and was about to turn around when he saw a small attendant stumbling towards the Queen's bedroom.

"What happened!" Su Hailing intuitively felt something was wrong.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty is dead!" the little attendant cried with a mournful face.

"What?" Su Hailing's complexion changed drastically. Su Xueling, who was talking to them just now, suddenly...

"Impossible." Mu Qingchen asserted, "I checked her pulse, if something hadn't happened, she couldn't have been so fast..."

"You go, I'll be there right away." Su Hailing said.

"Yes!" The little attendant hurriedly ran towards the way he came.

"Qingchen, you should inform Junhan immediately and let him get ready immediately," Su Hailing said.

"I know, be careful yourself." Mu Qingchen reminded.

"Don't worry!" Su Hailing pressed his shoulder, turned and ran back.

Along the way, countless thoughts turned in my mind.

Could it be that Su Xueling came to talk to her today because he knew...or decided to die?
"His Royal Highness." Ouyang Xun walked over, his face sinking like water.

"How is Miss Huang?" Su Hailing grabbed her arm.

"Your Majesty has passed away." Ouyang Xun's voice remained calm.

Su Hailing was surprised, is it true?She didn't care to ask any more questions, she immediately wanted to enter the palace.

"Your Highness, wait a moment." Ouyang Xun flickered, and stopped in front of her again.

"What are you doing?" Su Hailing asked impatiently.

"Your Majesty has left an edict to the princess." Ouyang Xun said, and took out a scroll of yellow silk from his sleeve and handed it over, "Your Majesty's order, you don't need to kneel to receive it, the princess can take it apart and read it."

Su Hailing glanced at her suspiciously, opened the imperial decree, and after seeing the contents clearly, he couldn't help being surprised.

"Did the princess see clearly?" Ouyang Xun confirmed.

"Yes." Su Hailing nodded.

"Okay." Ouyang Xun took back the imperial decree, clasped his palms together, and the silk cloth immediately turned into pieces, which fell all over the ground like butterflies.

"Thank you, Manager Ouyang." Su Hailing saluted her, then turned and went back to Chaoyun Palace.

On the other side, Mei Junhan, who also heard the bell, immediately understood that it was the death knell.

"What's the matter?" An Xiang looked curiously at her master's face which changed rapidly.

"I'm afraid the empress has died." Mei Junhan said in a low voice.

"What?" An Xiang was taken aback and said, "But Miss Su and Mr. Mu went to see Her Majesty the Empress? Didn't they..."

"Hailing will find a way to inform us, don't panic." Mei Junhan said calmly, "Anxiang, you should pay attention to yourself, as soon as you are sure that the empress really died, you should immediately find a way to leave the palace and inform Lanqin Shuang and Murong Zi, raise troops to control the capital immediately, don't do it!"

"This subordinate understands!" An Xiang nodded vigorously with a sullen face.

Mei Junhan took a deep breath.

It seems that this night will be very long, and when the sun rises tomorrow... Dayong will really change the sky.
