Chapter 1119 Dig Him a Big Hole

Luo Qinghan: "I have sent someone a secret letter to Nanyue Kingdom, asking them to inquire about Xuanjizi's current situation."

Xiao Xixi was silent for a while, and said softly.

"I want to go to Nanyue."

Luo Qinghan paused, then continued to caress her back, and asked in a hoarse voice: "You went to Nanyue, what should I do?"

Xiao Xixi couldn't answer.

Luo Qinghan actually wanted to go to Nanyue with her regardless.

But that's not realistic.

Leaving aside his status as the Dasheng Emperor, let's talk about the current situation of the Empress Dowager, it is impossible for him to leave Shengjing.

Xiao Xixi nestled in his arms, and when she calmed down a little, she whispered.

"I just said that casually, don't take it seriously, even if I go to Nanyue, I may not be able to help Master.

Later, I will let the senior brother and the others go to Nanyue.

With them, the pressure on Master should be relieved a lot. "

Luo Qinghan lowered his head and kissed the top of her hair: "I'm sorry."

He knew that he was too selfish, and he didn't want Xixi to be too far away from him.

He doesn't want to be separated from her.

Xiao Xixi comforted him in turn: "It's okay, there is no need to talk about this between you and me."

The guilt in Luo Qinghan's heart became more and more intense.

He couldn't help but hug Xixi even tighter.

He said softly in a very low hoarse voice.

"Xixi, I can't live without you."

...

Xiao Xixi asked Fang Wujiu to come over.

She told him the news of King Nanyue's death, and asked him to go to Nanyue to see how Master is doing now.

Fang Wujiu didn't react much to Nanyue Wang's death.

He even expected this result.

Back then, the reason why King Nanyue was able to survive was all because of Xuanjizi who changed her life against the sky.

Xuanjizi used his half life to extend her life for more than twenty years.

This is already his limit.

Xuanjizi must have been prepared for this.

Fang Wujiu replied in a low voice: "Well, I'll go back and pack my things first. I will go to Nanyue with my third junior brother tomorrow morning. If you need help with anything in the future, you can go to your second junior brother."

Xiao Xixi nodded and said yes.

However, that night, there was a news from Taimiao——

The empress dowager can't do it!

Luo Qinghan kissed Xixi's forehead and comforted her in a low voice.

"Don't worry, you sleep in your bed, I'll go back as soon as I go."

He lifted the quilt and got out of the bed, put on his clothes, shoes and socks without being waited on by others, and strode out.

Eunuch Chang put on the cloak he had prepared long ago for the emperor, and whispered at the same time.

"From what the imperial physician said, the empress dowager is really going to die this time, you have to be mentally prepared."

There was no expression on Luo Qinghan's face, it was always indifferent.

"Prepare the chariots and horses, I'm going to the Taimiao to have a look."

"Here."

The emperor's chariots and horses quickly left the palace and rushed to the Taimiao in the dark

Almost as soon as Luo Qinghan entered the Taimiao, he heard a piercing shout from the front.

"The Empress Dowager is dead!"

Luo Qinghan's footsteps paused, and then he walked forward at a faster speed.

Eunuch Chang and the other palace people hurried to follow.

When they rushed to the bedroom where the Empress Dowager lived, they saw the Empress Dowager lying upright on the bed, her eyes closed, her complexion pale, motionless, as if she had lost her breath.

The imperial physician knelt on the ground, choked up and said.

"Report to Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is dead!"

Luo Qinghan stared blankly at the Empress Dowager on the bed, her gaze stayed on her old, thin, lifeless face, and she spoke in a low voice for a long time.

"Pass down the order to call the clan relatives to the Taimiao."

"Here."

After receiving the news that the Empress Dowager had passed away, the royal relatives were all so frightened that they lost sleepiness. They almost scrambled out of bed, put on their clothes as quickly as possible, and rode straight to the Taimiao came.

Soon all the clan members gathered in the Taimiao.

Dressed in plain white clothes, they knelt on the ground and wailed loudly at the body of the Empress Dowager.

Even Luo Yechen, the king of England who is usually the most carefree, cried for a while tonight.

Luo Qinghan was the only one present who did not shed tears.

He just stood beside him quietly, watching the imperial doctor cover the empress dowager's body with a white cloth.

A general's voice sounded outside the door, saying that he wanted to see the King of England.

After getting the emperor's permission, King Luo Yechen stood up and walked out.

The general whispered something in the king's ear.

After hearing this, Luo Yechen's face changed greatly: "Is this really true?"

The general said: "Of course it is true. People are already outside the city gate. If you don't believe me, you can go and see for yourself."

Luo Yechen expected that the other party would not dare to lie about such an important matter, so he turned around and walked into the room, and said quickly to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, news came from the Patrol Department just now that King Qingliao, King Linnan, and King Fengyang were summoned by the Empress Dowager and wanted to come to the city to discuss a very important matter with the Empress Dowager. They People have already arrived outside the city gate, what do you think about this matter?"

Although Luo Yechen deliberately lowered his voice, it was still heard by many people present.

Those people changed their faces one after another.

The vassal king is not allowed to enter the capital without summons. This is an iron law that has existed since ancient times.

But all vassal kings who enter Beijing privately will be punished as treason!

Even though King Qingliao, King Linnan, and King Fengyang claimed that they were summoned to Beijing by the Empress Dowager, the imperial decree of the Empress Dowager and the imperial edict of the emperor were two different things and should not be confused.

Everyone held their breath and waited for the emperor's reaction.

Luo Qinghan looked at the body of the Empress Dowager, and at this moment finally understood the meaning of those words she said before she died.

She said that even if she died, someone else would come and drag him down from the throne.

The other people she was talking about were probably those feudal lords who were eyeing them.

From the early days of the founding of the Dasheng Dynasty, the power of the vassal kings in various places has become more and more powerful, and it has become a thorn in the hearts of the emperors of all dynasties. Almost every emperor wants to cut down the vassals, including Luo Qinghan's father Sheng Yongdi.

Unfortunately, none of them succeeded.

The vassal kings from all over the country still support themselves, and they have absolute control over all the population, taxation, and laws in the fief.

It is not an exaggeration to describe them with the phrase "Emperor Tu".

However, the Emperor of Earth is always just an Emperor of Earth, and there are many ambitious people among them who want to remove the word "earth" in front and become real emperors, such as the deceased King of Xiling.

Luo Qinghan originally thought that the lessons learned from the failure of King Xiling would make those vassal kings fearful, at least there should be no big moves in the next few years.

What he didn't expect was that the Empress Dowager would dig a big hole for him before she died.

The Empress Dowager clearly knew that the feudal lords were eyeing the imperial power, but she wanted to recall them back to Shengjing at this juncture. It was obvious that she wanted them to compete with Luo Qinghan for the throne.

Even if she died, even if she risked the destruction of the Dasheng Dynasty, Luo Qinghan would have to fall hard!
