you behind!" The mischievous boy put on a sad face and bowed, begging for mercy, "Grandpa Zhao, please let me go to school. If I'm late, the teacher will punish me with board..." 。" Having said that...After waiting for a while, finally a horse galloped over.

Zheng He, who stayed behind on the broken gold beach, arrived with a snow-white little fox.

Zheng He jumped off his horse and boarded the ship, holding the little fox in his arms.

Li Laoer snatched the little fox away.

The collar is gone!

He let out a long, relieved sigh and turned his gaze toward the new city, his eyes filled with a multitude of complex emotions once again.

The little fox, seeing him not speak, became somewhat anxious and tugged at his collar.

Li La Er lowered his head, and the little fox spat the jade pendant in its mouth into his palm.

Li Laoer, borrowing the light, took a closer look and exclaimed in surprise, "Is this the prince's jade pendant"

The little fox nodded, then jumped out of his arms, wagging its bushy tail, and with a whoosh, it jumped off the boat.

Everyone couldn't help but gasp, and even Li Lao Tai reached out to summon them.

"Three, come back quickly!"

Unfortunately, the little fox looked at everyone and ran into the night.

Li Laotai still wanted people to chase, but Li Laoer stopped them.

"There's no need to chase after them, the three of them went back to the palace to find the Crown Prince."

Li Laotai was anxious, "Looking for the prince What about Fu Nuer She'll be heartbroken if she doesn't see him within three days."

Li Laoer hesitated for a moment and soothed, "Mother, don't worry. Perhaps Fu Niuer instructed San Qiao about something. The prince is a good person, if Fu Niuer wants to get San Qiao back, it shouldn't be difficult."

Li Laotai couldn't, she absolutely couldn't at this time, for the sake of a little fox, put everyone else's safety aside.

The large ship slowly pulled away from the pier, like a silent giant beast, gradually disappearing into the darkness.

After about twenty-some miles by water, the large ship arrived at Xin Du Wharf.

Jiayi and Liu Yang had already been waiting with over three hundred people for a long time.

Two large ships converged at a point, then sailed away from each other in opposite directions.

Everyone unconsciously walked out of the cabin, gazing at the silhouette of the new city from afar.

This time, no one knows when they will return, no one knows what they will experience.

But if people move, trees die.

Every parting is for a better future!

In the palace, Yi, the chief eunuch, came back after drinking sour plum soup. He asked the guards and the night eunuchs, learning that the Crown Prince had come to visit and just left.

"Your Highness, the Prince," Yi Zongguan said with a soft smile, "is kind and filial. He truly sets an example for all sons in the world."

The eunuch and the guards all nodded.

If the Emperor were to pass away one day, this empire would belong to the prince.

A benevolent and filial emperor is not only a blessing for the entire country, but also a blessing for all of us servants…

When dawn first broke, Yi, the head steward, quietly opened the door and stepped into the sleeping chamber.

Today is the Grand Assembly, and the Emperor must attend, no matter what.

Moreover, the refugees outside the city gates were making a huge commotion last night. I estimate that the officials will also submit a petition.

But, the sleeping quarters were silent.

Yi Zongguan tried calling out twice, but the Emperor still did not respond.

He gestured for the two young eunuchs behind him to wait, then went over and lifted the gauze curtain of the dragon bed...

"Ah, come quickly! Your Majesty, the Emperor has no pulse!"

A shout ripped through the imperial palace, tearing away the remnants of Chenxi and revealing the dawn of a new era in Tianwu!

Soon, the entire imperial study was sealed off.

The prince rushed over and brought all the imperial physicians who had stayed overnight with him into the room.

The physicians took turns feeling his pulse, and in the end, their faces were all as white as snow.

Needless to say, the Emperor is dead beyond all hope!

But the cause of death... they couldn't be sure.

One could say the Emperor died of old age, or that he died because the lingering poison resurfaced, weakening his already frail body due to gluttony and a cold stomach, ultimately draining his life force.

On the one hand, they are not responsible, but it's hard to convince people of that.

The latter, they have some responsibility, but everyone can understand.

Finally, the imperial physicians all knelt down together, begging the prince to make a decision.

The crown prince cried with red eyes, holding the emperor's hand, reluctant to let go.

After a long silence, he finally spoke, "My father knew his dragon body well; otherwise, he wouldn't have been so eager to hand over the reins of government. It's just that I didn't expect his dragon body to be so dilapidated, that a minor illness would send him to the afterlife. Don't blame yourselves, I know you did your best."

All the imperial physicians let go of their anxieties and kowtowed deeply.

Soon, news reached the former court. All the civil and military officials who had been summoned for the grand assembly hurried over and knelt down outside.

Only six important ministers entered the room. The Crown Prince had already changed into mourning clothes, his eyes were red and swollen but he was trying his best to hold on.

The Six Ministers had barely slept last night, as they had been mentally preparing for this.

Now that the Emperor's death has been confirmed, just kneel down directly.

The Minister of Personnel took the lead and said, "Your Majesty, please mourn. The late Emperor has passed away, and Heaven's Martial Dynasty cannot be without a ruler. Please ascend the throne and govern the world."

The rest of the crowd shouted in unison, "Long live the Emperor, long live, long live!"

Hearing this from outside, the courtiers also shouted in unison, "Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor, ten thousand years!"

Liu Zhiheng knelt in the crowd, like a puppet. When others bowed, he bowed; when others chanted slogans, he chanted.

His mind was filled with shock!

Last night, the Li family suddenly decided to withdraw south. Could it be that the northern campaign army encountered trouble

Could it be that he knew in advance of the Emperor's passing Is this the best time

Or could it be that the Emperor's death was the work of the Li family!

The last one might make him break out in a cold sweat, teeth clenched so hard he's afraid he might let out a scream...

Soon, the death knell rang out, and the entire Xin Du, the entire Tian Wu, became a commotion.

As with the passing of an empress, every household hung white banners. All officials and ladies-in-waiting prepared to enter the palace to mourn.

After much persuasion from the old ministers, the prince finally agreed to return to Xilong Pavilion to change into his dragon robe. However, a white hemp filial robe was still worn over the dragon robe.

Mr. Feng and others wanted to serve, but they were left outside the door by the Crown Prince.

With no one around, the Crown Prince slowly removed the sadness from his face. When he saw a lump of snow-white lying on the table, the corners of his mouth twitched upwards viciously.

The little fox was exhausted. It had run dozens of miles and its paws were dirty.

Suddenly being held in someone's arms, it looked up, chirped twice, and fell asleep again.

The crown prince pulled out a wet cloth and gently wiped the paws.

In the silent house, there were soft sighs.

"Thank you, little one, for not letting me become a lonely soul!"

Last time it was the marble square before the Empress's throne, this time it is once again packed with people.

The court officials were distressed, but they dared not show it.

After barely escaping with my life at the Empress's funeral, it seems I'm about to meet my end here.

Some officials from the Ministry of Personnel were taking attendance, but no matter how they called, they couldn't find Li La Er and Li Jia An.

So, he found Liu Zhiheng.

"Sir Liu, where is Master Li Should we send someone to inform him Missing the Emperor's funeral is a serious crime!"

Liu Zhiheng quickly waved his hand, "I just came back from the fields yesterday and didn't see Li Boge. You should send someone to have a look!"

The officials were helpless and could only report the matter upward, hoping their superiors would make a decision.

At this time, the third princess rushed over with red eyes.

"Father, Father!"

Even with all the conflicts and grievances, they are still blood relatives after all.

The Prince heard the commotion and came out, taking the Third Princess into the room and comforting her in a low voice.

Today's update is here ~~e snort, never expecting that it would offend someone.She was a little confused, blinking her big eyes twice and asking, "Are you talking about me, Ms. Wu"Then Miss Wu nodded, becoming even more crypt...
