Chapter 869 I Am Willing to Die to Atone for My Sins
Emperor De was very happy.
After today, he would be completely cleared of the charge of imprisoning and abusing his father.
Ning Chen, Ning Chen, do you think that spreading rumors will make me bear the infamy? How ridiculous... Emperor De felt that he had finally won Ning Chen once, and he was very proud.
"Stop!"
Emperor Xuan, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke.
Emperor De was stunned for a moment, and followed Emperor Xuan's gaze. It turned out to be Tianfulou.
Emperor Xuan's eyes were full of nostalgia, and he whispered: "That stinky boy likes to eat roast duck here the most... Let someone buy me a roast duck?"
Faced with Emperor Xuan's request, Emperor De's face was gloomy and his heart was full of jealousy.
Why?
Father gave all his love to Ning Chen, what virtue did that bastard have? He is the biological son of Father, how is he inferior to Ning Chen?
Jealousy made him reject Emperor Xuan's request and said in a deep voice: "Keep going!"
The team slowly moved forward.
Emperor Xuan reluctantly withdrew his gaze from the sign of Tianfulou and remained silent.
After walking for a while, Emperor Xuan spoke again: "Can we stop here for a while?"
Emperor De looked out through the small window on the carriage, his face became even uglier.
Because this is the Zhuangyuan Building.
He knew that his father met Ning Chen here.
Emperor De did not speak, and the team naturally did not dare to stop and continued to move forward.
Emperor Xuan looked at the gradually moving Zhuangyuan Building, his eyes full of memories.
He met Ning Chen here.
That was Ning Chen, as thin as a little chicken, shivering with cold.
"Uncle, do you want to sell poems? I'll give you a discount."
"Uncle, thank you for treating me to dinner."
"Uncle, thank you for your cloak, you are so kind!"
Everything that happened was vivid in his mind, as if it was yesterday.
Emperor Xuan held the cloak tightly on his body, his eyes moist.
Now the weather has been hot for a long time, and it is past the season to wear cloaks.
But Emperor Xuan insisted on wearing the cloak, because this cloak was put on him when Ning Chen left.
The capital is too big.
It is impossible to walk around in one day, and it is already dusk in a blink of an eye.
Emperor De ordered to return to the palace, and his goal has been achieved.
At this time, the team passed the north gate.
Emperor Xuan suddenly got out of the carriage and said in a deep voice: "Stop!"
Emperor De was stunned for a moment. He could refuse Emperor Xuan's request in the carriage, but in front of outsiders, he had to play the role of a filial son... Otherwise, everything he did today would be meaningless.
"Stop!"
Emperor De ordered, and the team stopped.
Emperor Xuan got off the carriage, looked up at the tower, and said softly: "I haven't walked out of the palace for a long time. My dear ministers, follow me to the city... I have never stood on a high place to see the Great Xuan Capital."
"Father, it's windy up there, and you are ill, so let's go back to the palace?"
Emperor De stopped him.
His goal has been achieved, and there is no need to stay here any longer to avoid complications.
However, Emperor Xuan ignored him, walked over and took Concubine Zhao's hand, and then walked towards the tower.
Emperor De's face darkened, but he couldn't disobey Emperor Xuan in front of outsiders, so he had to follow.
The imperial guards, the people from the Supervisory Office, and the important officials in the court followed closely.
Emperor Xuan looked at Eunuch Quan who was following him and said, "Quan Sheng, you step back a little, I will talk to Concubine Zhao."
Quan Sheng felt uneasy, but still stepped back a few steps. This distance was within his control. If something happened to Emperor Xuan, he could rescue him in the first time.
Emperor Xuan lowered his voice and said something to Concubine Zhao? While climbing the stairs.
Soon, they reached the top of the tower.
Emperor Xuan held Concubine Zhao's hand and overlooked the Great Xuan Imperial City.
The setting sun gilded a layer of gold on everything in the world.
The entire Great Xuan Imperial City was magnificent and beautiful.
Emperor Xuan said softly, "The Great Xuanjiang Mountain is so beautiful!"
Concubine Zhao smiled softly, her voice gentle, "The Great Xuanjiang Mountain was even more beautiful when your Majesty was in power!"
Emperor Xuan sighed, "It's a pity that when I was young, I was so busy with government affairs that I didn't have time to take a good look at the magnificent scenery of the Great Xuanjiang Mountain.
That dragon chair has trapped me for my whole life!
The happiest thing in my life was that the stinky boy Ning Chen took me to Lingzhou and Xiuzhou... If General Chen hadn't passed away suddenly, I would have finished walking in the Great Xuanjiang Mountain.
Concubine Zhao, you are trapped in the deep palace just like me. I wonder if you have ever hated me?"
Concubine Zhao shook her head gently, "Being able to serve your Majesty is the greatest blessing of my life... No matter where I am, I am willing to accompany your Majesty!"
Emperor Xuan held Concubine Zhao's hand tightly, "If there is an afterlife, I will definitely compensate you well!"
Concubine Zhao nodded gently.
Emperor Xuan took a deep breath, and his eyes suddenly became determined.
He turned his head to look at Emperor De and the important officials in the court not far away, and then looked at the people under the city.
Suddenly, he said loudly: "I am so lucky in my life... I ascended the throne at a young age, and I have General Chen and a group of beloved ministers to assist me, and later Ning Chen will guard the Great Xuan for me.
I have done many wrong things in my life, and the one I regret most is passing the throne to Emperor De Zhang Tianlun.
Although he is my son, he does not have the ability of an emperor. He is ambitious and has no virtue or talent... causing the Great Xuan to be devastated and the people to live in misery.
The rumors you heard are not rumors, but facts.
All of this is my fault. I am sorry to my ancestors and the people of the Great Xuan... Today, I am willing to die to atone for my sins!"
Emperor De's eyes went dark and his head was buzzing.
But before he could come to his senses, he heard a piercing scream.
Emperor Xuan and Concubine Zhao actually jumped directly from the top of the city wall.
Amid the piercing screams, two figures shot out like sharp swords.
One was Eunuch Quan and the other was Geng Jing.
Eunuch Quan had long noticed that Emperor Xuan was not right, so he secretly notified Geng Jing, and the two had been on guard to prevent any accidents.
So, when Emperor Xuan and Concubine Zhao jumped off the city wall at the same time, the two reacted immediately.
Geng Jing flew to the edge of the city wall, half of his body leaned out of the city wall, and grabbed Concubine Zhao's arm... But the force of falling pulled him down towards the city wall.
At the critical moment, Geng Jing grabbed Concubine Zhao's arm with one hand and held the edge of the city wall with the other hand... Both of them were hanging on the city wall.
On the other side, Eunuch Quan flew out of the city wall, grabbed the edge of the city wall with one hand, and swung the whisk in the other hand, entangled Emperor Xuan's arm.
The four people hung on the city wall like that, scaring the people below the city to scream, and everyone was scared and sweating.
"Quan Sheng, let go... Only when I and Concubine Zhao are dead, King Wu will not be coerced again, he and Ning Chen will not meet again, the soldiers of Daxuan will not have to kill each other, and the people will not suffer from the war."
Eunuch Quan shook his head, and his tears flew out.
"This is an imperial decree, I order you to let go!"
Quan Sheng cried and shouted: "Please forgive me for not being able to obey the order!"
Eunuch Quan and Geng Jing are masters among masters. If they were not afraid of hurting Emperor Xuan and Concubine Zhao, they only need to shake them lightly to throw them up.
