Jiu Ge’s Beloved Spirit

——————————————————————————————

That night.

The huge and bright inner hall of the palace.

Many concubines knelt in front of the outer court, crying, holding silk handkerchiefs, with sad and sad faces.

In the palace,

The palace maids and eunuchs stood in rows with their heads lowered, not daring to breathe.

Ambergris rose from the incense burner,

Under the bed tent decorated with golden dragon flowers,

The imperial doctor carefully checked the old emperor's pulse on the dragon bed, sweat dripping from his forehead.

"Mr. Xu, how is your Majesty's condition?"

The regent Lin Jiyuan standing aside asked aloud.

Doctor Xu didn't say anything. He slowly stood up, stretched out two fingers, and placed them tremblingly on the old emperor's neck.

After exploring for a while,

He turned around and met Lin Jiyuan's gaze.

He shook his head,

Then, with a "plop" sound, he knelt down,

"His Majesty, Your Majesty, has passed away!"

As soon as these words fell,

The voices present suddenly became uproar,

Palace maids and eunuchs, look at each other,

Finally, they all looked at Lin Jiyuan in unison.

The old emperor has been ill for nearly a year.

During this year, Lin Jiyuan has been in charge of the government affairs and presided over the overall situation.

In addition, the old emperor had very few heirs, with only five princesses and one prince.

The only prince also died three years ago and is no longer alive.

So it can be said that the old emperor is dead.

And the only regent in charge of the government, Lin Jiyuan, was a foreign king and not a member of the royal family at all.

Now that the old emperor is gone, there is no successor.

Therefore, it is very likely that the regent will ascend the throne and change the dynasty.

The people in the palace figured out the stakes in just a moment.

Everyone was waiting for the regent to speak, but they still didn't dare to say a word.

The news of the old emperor's death has not spread yet.

The concubines waiting outside the palace didn't know yet and were still crying in a low voice.

All the imperial doctors inside were also kneeling, their scalps numb, not knowing how things would develop next.

Lin Jiyuan sat on the chair and pondered for a long time.

He slowly tapped the handle of the chair with his long finger and said,

"Go and bring the Imperial Master."

"No one is allowed to spread the news about His Majesty's death before the Imperial Master arrives."

As soon as he finished speaking,

The closed palace door was pushed open from the outside.

A bright red figure covered with blood, wearing a thick red fur coat, stepped into the snow.

The snow seemed to fall very hard at night, dyeing the outside into a pure white sky.

The beautiful and cold woman raised her delicate white fingers and slowly took off her fur hat.

The charming peach blossom eyes have a light emotion, like a stunning goddess who is otherworldly, and every move is graceful and graceful.

When everyone saw her, they immediately knelt down and saluted.

"The National Master is safe."

When Lin Jiyuan saw her, he immediately stood up and bent down to salute.

The Qing Yuan Kingdom has always believed in gods and divination.

Therefore, the imperial master had a very high status in the eyes of the people of the Qing Yuan Kingdom.

It can even be said to be higher than the emperor.

Even if the emperor ascends the throne, abdicates the throne, or dies, it must be calculated by the imperial advisor.

If it is unlucky, no state ceremony or funeral can be held.

so,

After the old emperor passed away, the first person Lin Jiyuan looked for must be the current imperial advisor.

A month ago, the old Imperial Master also passed away.

The woman in front of him is the newly appointed female Imperial Preceptor—Yun Si.

Lin Jiyuan glanced at the eunuch beside him.

The eunuch on the side accepted the idea and immediately led everyone to retreat.

soon,

In the palace, only Lin Jiyuan and Yun Si, who was wearing fur clothes, were left.
