Letting Loose After Marrying A Tycoon

For Mo Liansheng, he not only avenged Dugu Jie, but also verified the secret of the medicine man, and he gained a lot.

For the prime minister, only by getting rid of the woman in the emperor's heart can his daughter gain the favor of the Holy One, and maybe give birth to a grandson to inherit the throne. He was also satisfied.

The two people's eyes met instantly, and no one knew the deal between them.

In the palace, the concubines and the prince were still kneeling, and no one dared to get up and leave until dark.

In the middle of the night, Dugu Jie woke up once. He opened his eyes and looked at the people kneeling to pray for him. He didn't see Nangong Xian in the crowd, and he felt angry in his heart.

He almost died, why didn't she come back?

Could it be that he really didn't have any status in General Nangong's heart?

Dugu Jie felt desolate in his heart. He raised his weak right arm, waved it towards everyone, and said angrily: "Everyone, step back."

After hearing this, Chen Desheng hurriedly turned around and said to the Crown Prince and his concubines: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, ladies and gentlemen, have all returned to the palace to rest. Your Majesty has overcome the difficulties. I believe that Your Majesty will be blessed with great blessings and will be able to defeat the disease. Get well soon!"

Hearing this, everyone kowtowed together and loudly responded: "Your Majesty brings great blessings to the heavens, and you will definitely defeat the disease!"

The concubines all left, and then Queen Zheng Yuee walked to the bedside and looked at His Majesty's face. Even if His Majesty is confused and not awake at the moment, the Queen does not dare to sit down on His Majesty's dragon bed.

His Majesty's dragon bed is not allowed to be touched by other women except the maids who serve him closely to change the sheets.

Seeing that His Majesty's face turned rosy, the Queen felt relieved and said to Chen Desheng, "My lord, I will go back first. You have worked hard these days, so you should take a rest."

"Your Majesty, please take care of me and I will rest."

"That's good."

After the Queen left, Dugu Sheng walked to the dragon bed and sat down.

He held his father's wrist and felt his father's pulse become stronger. He laughed happily and said to Chen Desheng: "Father has really turned the corner. Doctor Mo's medicine is really amazing! "

Chen Desheng was also sincerely happy for His Majesty, "Your Majesty has survived this disaster and will live a long and prosperous life like the heavens!"

"My father-in-law is absolutely right."

The prince saw that his father would not wake up for a while, so he returned to the East Palace. After everyone left, Chen Desheng sat down on the footboard in front of the dragon bed and dozed off against the corner of the dragon bed.

Because the emperor was critically ill, Chen Desheng hadn't slept for almost three days. His old bones couldn't bear the trouble anymore, so he fell asleep quickly.

At dawn, Chen Desheng heard His Majesty's voice.

"Isn't she here yet?"

Chen Desheng woke up with a start and saw His Majesty with his eyes open, looking unwillingly in the direction of the palace gate.

Chen Desheng felt bitter in his heart.

General Nangong is already dead, why come here!

Chen Desheng hurriedly stood up, blessing himself, and responded: "Your Majesty, I asked Doctor Mo. Doctor Mo said that General Nangong was injured by the strange beast while fighting it, and one of his legs was broken. He is still recovering from his injuries in Sichuan and Shu, so he cannot arrive in time."

In order to make His Majesty believe his words, Chen Desheng also had someone imitate General Nangong's handwriting and write a short letter.

Chen Desheng took out the forged letter and said to Dugujie: "This is the letter brought back by Dr. Tuomo, General Nangong. Your Majesty, do you want to read it yourself, or let the servant read it to you?"

Dugujie felt better, his internal organs no longer ached, and he felt somewhat energetic. He said, "Bring water."

"This slave will give your Majesty some water."

Warm water was always ready. Chen Desheng poured a glass of warm water for Dugu Jie and fed it to Dugu Jie. Dugujie drank water and felt better. He asked Chen Desheng to help him up.

Leaning on the pillow, Dugujie picked up the piece of letter paper beside him, spread it out, lowered his head and read it carefully——

I am deeply relieved to see that His Majesty has recovered from his serious illness. I will rush back to Beijing as soon as my foot recovers from my injury. May your Majesty be in good health, like a dragon and a tiger, and may the world be peaceful with a smile!

The letter was very brief, but it was in General Nangong's usual tone of voice.

Dugujie felt much more comfortable knowing that Nangongxian was injured and could not rush back to Beijing in time.

But then, he frowned deeply, concerned about Nangong Xian's injury. Dugujie asked Chen Desheng: "Is General Nangong's injury serious?"

Chen Desheng's heart was dripping with blood, and he replied as calmly as possible: "It's a little serious. I heard that her left leg was almost broken. Fortunately, Dr. Mo was nearby and performed an operation on her in time, and the leg was saved."

If it was just an ordinary fracture, General Nangong would definitely rush back to the capital at all costs to witness His Majesty's recovery to health, based on General Nangong's deep love for His Majesty.

So General Nangong’s injury must be serious!

Hearing this, Dugu Jie cursed in a low voice: "This damn woman, who allowed her to take risks!" Dugu Jie said harshly, but carefully folded the letter in his hand and handed it to Chen Desheng. He said: " Put it in my collection box.”

The collection boxes of other emperors all contained priceless treasures, while only his collection box contained trivial gadgets.

For example, a set of bed sheets with a sense of age, some letters, a pair of earrings, and some random things. But everything was once used by Nangongxian or was given by her.

Chen Desheng took the letter and walked into the collection pavilion in the palace. He put the letter on top of other letters. He felt a sense of regret when he thought that the owner of these things was no longer there.

When Chen Desheng returned to the palace, he saw His Majesty holding a phoenix hairpin in his hand and falling asleep again.

Chen Desheng sighed and then exited the palace.

Four days later, Dugu Jie was able to walk. Mo Liansheng's medicine was indeed miraculous. It not only saved his life, but also eliminated the stubborn toxins in his body.

Although Dugu Jie still has some difficulty in moving, his body and bones feel more comfortable than ever before.

Realizing that he had really become a healthy man, Dugu Jie and Longyan were delighted. In the morning, he summoned Mo Liansheng in front of all the ministers, praised him as the holy hand of the country, and named him the great sage doctor of the Luo Dynasty. !

Mo Liansheng knelt down on the spot to thank Long En!

He knelt in the middle of the bright yellow hall, his head pressed against the cold, clean ground. He thought about leaving the capital to go to Shu, and being given poisoned wine by Dugu Jie on the outskirts of the capital, and he couldn't help feeling sad.

In a place where no one could see, Mo Liansheng's lips curled up into a sinister smile of successful conspiracy. Dugu Jie, Dugu Jie, if I knew that your current health was obtained with the life of your beloved woman, would you be heartbroken?

Mo Liansheng couldn't wait to see that scene!

Mo Liansheng left Kyoto soon. Before he left Kyoto, a strange thing happened in Kyoto. That week, the miracle doctor prescribed the wrong medicine and killed someone.

The family members of the patients who died after being treated cried for a month in front of Divine Doctor Zhou's hospital. In the end, Divine Doctor Zhou had no choice but to lose all his family property and leave the capital with his family members in disgrace.

The person who was cured and died was the second son of the Minister of Hubu. This incident caused quite a big fuss and even reached the ears of Dugu Jie. When Dugujie heard about this, he felt strange.

-

Sitting under the pavilion next to the peony garden, Dugu Jie stared at the yellow fruit covered with thorns on the small table next to him, and asked in confusion: "What kind of fruit is this? It smells so bad."

Dugujie was about to vomit.

Chen Desheng said: "It's a tribute fruit from the south. It's said to be called durian. The Queen praised the fruit for being soft, smooth, delicious, and fragrant. It's a rare and delicious fruit. The Queen was thinking about His Majesty, so she sent someone to deliver it to His Majesty. Come get this fruit."

Chen Desheng asked Dugu Jie: "Your Majesty, do you want to try it?"

Dugujie felt sick when he smelled the smell, and he would never taste it. "Throw it away, I'm going to throw up when I smell it. Why does it smell so raw when it's such a good fruit?"

Chen Desheng hurriedly sent someone to send the durian back to the Queen.

Dugu Jie picked up a few grapes, peeled them himself, stared at the pool in front of him, and couldn't help but ask: "So the miracle doctor Zhou has left after distributing his family property?"

"Yes, let's go."

Chen Desheng said: "When Divine Doctor Zhou left, he wanted to see His Majesty, but was stopped. When I learned about this, Divine Doctor Zhou had already left Beijing."

"Oh?" Dugu Jie couldn't help but ask, "What does he want to see me for?"

"I heard from the guard guarding the door that Divine Doctor Zhou seems to want to tell you about the Fengchun Pill."

"Fengchun Pill?" Dugujie felt sick when he thought of that thing.

If Divine Doctor Zhou was still in the capital, Dugu Jie really wanted to ask Divine Doctor Zhou about Fengchun Pills and find out what the Fengchun Pills were made of.

After all, Mo Liansheng is his disciple, and Divine Doctor Zhou may also have studied Fengchun Pills.

But with the miracle doctors Zhou gone, Dugu Jie gave up the idea.

"When will General Nangong return to Beijing?" Dr. Mo has been away from Beijing for more than a month. Nangongxian only wrote him a letter in the middle, but did not mention when he would return.

Dugujie missed Nangongxian very much and couldn't wait to see her.

Now Chen Desheng was frightened when he heard His Majesty mention General Nangong.

Chen Desheng lied bravely and said, "I guess it will take another two months anyway."

"Will it take so long?"

"Your Majesty, General Nangong almost lost one of his legs. If you don't cultivate yourself well, your legs and feet will be inconvenient in the future. Your Majesty, you will feel bad."

Dugujie thought that this was also the case and didn't ask any more questions.

Dugu Jie's health is getting better and better. After the toxins in his body have been completely eliminated, the bones of his body that always seemed weak before have become stronger. He has broad shoulders, narrow waist and long legs. He is wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, and his aura is even more impressive. Once upon a time.

In the seventh month of the lunar calendar, the capital is a little chilly.

Early that morning, Chen Desheng stood in front of the palace and bent down and asked: "Your Majesty, today is your holiday, do you want to get up early?"

Officials of the Luo Dynasty took a break from taking a bath every eight days, while His Majesty took a break from taking a bath every ten days. Today happened to be Dugu Jie's day off.

Not hearing His Majesty's reply, Chen Desheng thought that His Majesty was still resting, so he glanced at the palace officials. "Everyone, go down and come back in an hour."

Everyone left quietly.

An hour later, Chen Desheng and the maids came outside the palace again. He raised his voice slightly and asked, "Your Majesty, are you awake? Do you want to get up?"

Chen Desheng still didn't hear His Majesty's reply.

Only then did Chen Desheng realize something was wrong. Your Majesty, are you feeling unwell?

Chen Desheng quickly opened the door, bent down and walked in. Entering the palace, Chen Desheng raised his head and looked towards the dragon bed, only to find that the dragon bed was empty.

Where is His Majesty’s figure?

Chen Desheng was shocked, "Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty is missing!"

Where can His Majesty go?

Chen Desheng quickly found the commander of the Imperial Guard and asked him to lead people to find His Majesty's hiding place in the palace. They searched the palace but couldn't find Dugu Jie!

Chen Desheng's expression changed, "It's not good!"

Chen Desheng quickly changed his clothes, left the palace in a low-key manner, and took a carriage to the end of Chang'an Street. The Suzhou-style house at the end of the street was the house His Majesty bought to house his biological mother's memorial tablet.

In previous years, during the Hungry Ghost Festival, His Majesty would come to this house to pay homage to his late empress.

How could he forget it?

Seeing Chen Desheng coming, the guard guarding the gate bowed to him with a knife in his hand, "Eunuch Chen, why are you here?"

Chen Desheng stared longingly at the two closed doors and asked anxiously: "Is His Majesty inside?"

"Here I am."

Chen Desheng breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought of something and became very anxious.

Today is the Ghost Festival, and every household will burn incense and paper money for their deceased friends. There must be sacrificial activities at the Zhenguo General Mansion today!

If Your Majesty goes to visit General Zhenguo's Mansion on a whim, and happens to meet Old General Nangong and the others, then this matter will be revealed!

Chen Desheng said quickly: "Let me in!"

The guard hesitated.

At this moment, the door was opened from the inside, and Dugujie stood under the door wearing a black gown with gold embroidery.

He frowned and looked at the impatient Chen Desheng, and couldn't help but feel doubtful. Chen Desheng is a stable person, so he can show such an anxious look. What happened?

Dugujie walked out calmly and said to Chen Desheng, "Go back."

Chen Desheng breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly invited His Majesty to get on the chariot.

But Dugu Jie said, "Today I won't ride in a chariot. I'll ride a horse." He hadn't ridden a horse for many years. Now that his body has recovered, Dugu Jie also wants to experience the feeling of indulgence on horseback!

He got on his horse and crossed Chang'an Street.

Along the way, someone recognized Dugu Jie and knelt down to worship him. When they discovered that the emperor was out on patrol, all the subjects and people knelt down one after another. They did not dare to raise their heads to look at the holy face.

Dugujie rode his horse and passed downstairs of Qingluo Banquet. When he thought of something, he suddenly stopped and looked up at the window on the left side of the second floor.

He thought of the first time he met Nangong Xian ten years ago at Qingluo Banquet House, and a gentle and touching smile finally appeared on that serious and handsome face.

Xian'er, it's time for you to come back in this capital where flowers are blooming.

Dugu Jie thought of Nangong Xian and wanted to sit in the mansion of General Zhenguo. Behind him, Chen Desheng was sitting on the carriage, chasing Dugu Jie's back.

When he saw Dugu Jie suddenly turning around and running towards the street where General Zhenguo's Mansion was located, his heart skipped a beat and his head felt a little buzzing.

It’s over!

It’s over, it’s over!

Dugu Jie rode up to the gate of the Zhenguo General's Mansion and found that the atmosphere in the General's Mansion was a little unusual. When the guard guarding the door saw his arrival, his expression was not joy and respect, but surprise, fear and panic!

Dugujie's narrow eyes suddenly narrowed.

what happened?

The guard came to his senses, hurriedly walked down the steps, knelt down to greet the emperor. "The villain joins your majesty. May your majesty be safe!"

Dugujie stared at the closed door and couldn't help but asked doubtfully: "Are you afraid when you see me coming?"

The guards trembled all over and then said: "Suddenly seeing Your Majesty, the little people are frightened."

This is not right!

When he came before, these people were not so frightened.

What happened?

Dugu Jie pondered for a moment and guessed a certain possibility. He asked suspiciously: "Could it be that your general is back?" He could only think of this possibility.

Before the guards could answer, Dugu Jie strode across the stairs, walked to the door, and directly raised his hand to push open the two doors.

"His Majesty!"

Dugu Jie glanced at the guards behind him coldly, and the two guards immediately closed their mouths, not daring to say anything.

Dugu Jie pushed the door open and saw that in the Zhenguo General's Mansion, everyone ranged from a housekeeper to a servant pruning branches. Their heads were all wrapped with a circle of white mourning cloth.

Dugujie was stunned for a moment.

He felt ridiculous and murmured in surprise: "Who died in the general's residence?"

The only person who can make the whole family observe filial piety is the master's family. There are now only three owners in this general's mansion, one is Nangong Xian, and the other is Nangong Xian's parents.

Xian'er is still recuperating in Shu, and the person who dies can only be the old general Nangong Jue or Mrs. Nangong!

Dugujie was a little angry. No one informed him of such a big event!

Dugu Jie strode into the general's mansion. All the slaves along the way were kneeling on both sides of the road, their bodies trembling, and they all felt terrified and uneasy.

Affected by them, Dugu Jie became even more confused.

Who is dead?

Dugu Jie came all the way to the main hall. As soon as he entered the main hall, he saw Mrs. Nangong bending down to burn incense in front of the mourning hall. Seeing Mrs. Nangong, Dugujie thought that she was offering incense to the old general Nangong Jue.

Dugujie made some noise.

The housekeeper in the general's residence reminded the old lady in a trembling voice: "Old lady, your majesty, your majesty is here."

Hearing this, the old lady shook her hands, took the long incense in her hand and dropped it on the ground.

She quickly turned around and knelt down to kowtow. "I didn't know that Your Majesty is here in person, and I would like to send you greetings from my family! I hope your Majesty will not blame my family!"

Dugujie looked at Mrs. Nangong's body and saw that Mrs. Nangong had become much thinner, her cheeks were fleshless, and her cheekbones were protruding, and she couldn't bear it.

"Madam, there is no need to be so panicked. I passed by the General's Mansion and wanted to take a look, only to find out that the old general had passed away. I wonder how many days it had been since the old general passed away? Those dog slaves in the palace never knew about me. When I come back Palace, they will be held accountable!"

The old general Nangong Jue dedicated his whole life to the Luo Dynasty. He died. As the emperor, Dugu Jie should come to pay his last respects to the old general.

damn it!

Those people didn't even tell him! If Xian'er comes back and finds out that he didn't attend the old gentleman's funeral, she will definitely blame him for being ruthless.

When Mrs. Nangong heard what Dugu Jie said, her expression felt sad. She wanted to say something, but she couldn't bear to say it thoroughly. However, the old lady's hesitant look caught Dugu Jie's eyes, and he interpreted it as having another meaning.

The old lady and the old general had a stronger love than each other, and they rarely had any quarrels in their lives. In this huge capital, they were a couple envied by everyone.

The old general passed away, and the old lady must have felt bad.

Dugu Jie said, "I'm here to offer a stick of incense to the old general."

He walked into the main hall and took three sticks of incense. As soon as he lit them, he heard a male voice say: "Madam, I heard that Your Majesty is here. Your Majesty..."

Before Nangong Jue finished speaking, he saw the emperor standing in front of the spiritual throne with his head bowed.

Nangong Jue was stunned on the spot, his face turned pale!

Dugujie, holding three sticks of incense in his hands, looked back in disbelief when he heard the familiar voice of the old general.

I saw the old general standing outside the door, and in the sunlight, his shadow was stretched very long.

This person has a shadow, he is a human being, not a ghost.

Since the old general is still alive, then

Dugu Jie thought of something, and with a strong force on his hands, he cut off all three sticks of incense.

"His Majesty."

Mrs. Nangong and Old General Nangong both looked at Dugujie worriedly, their expressions full of grief and unbearability.

Dugujie slowly turned around and finally moved the realization to the spiritual position——

The spiritual throne of Nangong Xian, the great general of Zhenguo!

Dugu Jie read out the words on the spirit tablet word by word. When he read the word 'spiritual position', a smell of rust suddenly came up from Dugu Jie's throat and quickly poured into his mouth.

Without waiting for Dugujie to react, he opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood. The bright red blood spurted onto the spiritual throne, dyeing the words 'Nangong Immortal' red on the spot!

"N, Gong, Xian!"

Dugu Jie pointed at the spiritual tablet with trembling hands. His majestic and handsome face was already pale, like a dying man. Dugujie grabbed the spiritual tablet and threw it ruthlessly to the ground.

Dugu Jie raised his head, his eyes red.

He stared at Nangong Jue and Mrs. Nangong, asking them with splitting eyes: "Do you know how severe the crime of deceiving the emperor is! Nangong Jue, do you believe it or not, I will chop off your head!"

Seeing Dugu Jie's appearance, Nangong Jue closed his eyes on the spot, leaving two lines of hot tears. He thought that he had shed all his tears in the past few months, but he never expected that he could still shed tears at this moment.

"Your Majesty!"

Nangong Jueyi knelt in front of Dugu Jie. He banged his head on the ground several times, and then he cried out with a choked voice: "Your Majesty, I, I dare not deceive you!"

Dugu Jie really hoped that Nangong was definitely deceiving him!

He was trembling all over and threatened Dugu Jie: "You are guilty of deceiving the emperor and should be executed! Nangong Jue, you still dare to quibble, believe it or not, I will have you executed immediately!"

Nangong Jue knelt on the ground and said nothing. He just kept shaking his shoulders and cried so hard that he couldn't lift his head.

Mrs. Nangong also knelt down beside Dugujie.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. My husband has not deceived your Majesty. My daughter, Nangong Xian, has indeed passed away." Mrs. Nangong sobbed, her voice broke, and she said with sobs and sobs: "Your Majesty, Xian'er has passed away for more than three months. Today, today is Xian'er's 100th day."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

Hearing this, Dugu Jie's body started to move violently. "Impossible!" He stepped on the spiritual throne and said frantically: "Impossible! Nangongxian has a serious leg injury and is recovering from his injuries in Shu! Nangongxian is not dead! Nangongxian is the God of War! Yes! General Zhenguo! How could she die!"

Mrs. Nangong cried louder and louder, "Your Majesty, what I said is true. If you don't believe it, you can ask Eunuch Chen! Ask the Queen!"

No one in the world knows the truth about Nangong Xian's death. The emperor, who is the only supreme emperor, is kept in the dark!

Everyone in Dugujie was dumbfounded.

He picked up the spiritual tablet on the ground and threw it to the ground, breaking it into several pieces, and then walked away.

He left the Zhenguo General's Mansion one step at a time. As soon as he walked out of the gate of the General's Mansion, he saw Chen Desheng and a group of guards standing at the door.

Seeing Dugu Jie walking out with a sad look on his face, Chen Desheng knew that the matter had been exposed!

Chen Desheng quickly knelt on the ground, walked to Dugu Jie on his knees and hugged Dugu Jie's feet as he wanted to leave. "Your Majesty, this slave deserves to die! It's all the slave's fault. It was the slave who took it upon himself to hide the news of General Nangong's death from you!"

"Your Majesty, please punish this slave to death!"

Dugujie kicked Chen Desheng away, "Get away, you stupid slave!"

Dugujie passed Chen Desheng and strode towards his horse. He turned over and sat on the horse, hit the horse's back with a whip, and walked away.

The direction he went to was not the palace, but the city gate!

Chen Desheng realized that Dugu Jie was going to Shu to find out what was going on, and he became anxious on the spot. "Quick! Get someone to find His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Dugu Jie rode his horse to the city gate. The soldiers guarding the city did not dare to stop his majesty, so they could only let him pass.

Dugu Jie rode his horse through the city gate. As soon as he walked out of the city gate, he saw a person kneeling in front of the city gate.

He was a young man, only fifteen years old.

The young man wore a light yellow python-patterned costume and a white jade hair crown. He knelt respectfully outside the city gate with his forehead touching the ground.

Dugu Jie's horse rushed towards the young man. Dugu Jie recognized the man's identity and roared: "Sheng'er! Get away!"

Dugu Sheng knelt on the spot and refused to move.

Dugujie was so angry that he didn't tell the horse to stop.

Just when the horse's hoof was about to step on Dugu Sheng's back, Dugu Jie finally reined in the horse in time. The horse's front hooves were raised high, and Dugu Jie held on to the horse's rope tightly, but was still thrown off the horse.

He climbed up, pulled off the whip from his horse, and whipped Dugu Sheng hard on his back. "Go away! Unfilial son!"

Dugu Sheng knelt down and responded with a sonorous voice: "Father, my son will not get away. Father cannot leave the capital and go to Shu!"

Dugu Jie is in good health, but he was frightened today and vomited blood. If he didn't seek treatment from an imperial doctor, he would have died on the way!

Dugu Sheng clenched his fists and said stubbornly: "If my father insists on going to Shu, then fine!" Dugu Sheng raised his head, straightened his back, and said loudly: "Then please, my father, I will follow you. Step over your body!"

Dugu Jie's eyes flickered, staring at Dugu Sheng, full of sorrow. "You also know that she is dead?"

Of course Dugu Sheng knew who this 'she' was referring to.

Dugu Sheng said: "My son and I know everything."

"Even you hid it from me." Dugu Jie's tone sounded full of sadness.

Dugu Sheng glanced at Dugu Jie and saw that his father was about to cry, and he felt bad. Dugu Sheng said bravely: "It is indeed a crime to deceive the emperor, but I don't think I did anything wrong."

"The Luo Dynasty has already lost a general who ruled the country, and we cannot lose the emperor again! Father, the Luo Dynasty is a land that the master wants to protect with all his life! Now that the master is gone, father, if you If you really love Master, you should also deeply love this country that Master loves, and these subjects that Master loves so much!"

"Father, your life is something that Master has fought for for you with all his life. You cannot let down Master's expectations of you!"

"My son, I sincerely request my father to stay in the capital, govern the country, and create a peaceful and prosperous age for Master to see!"

Dugujie stared blankly at the adopted son he had raised. Only when he heard these words from his adopted son did he realize his identity and his responsibilities.

He is the king of a country and the god who stands above the Luo Dynasty. The God of War has fallen, and the emperor cannot follow him!

But ah.

But when he thought that Nangong Xian was gone, Dugu Jie's heart felt like a knife. He beat his chest hard, and asked Dugu Sheng with tears in his eyes: "Create a peaceful and prosperous era for your master to see. But my dear, your master can't see it anymore!"

"She'll never see it again!"

Another mouthful of blood spurted out from Dugu Jie's mouth. This time, the blood spurted directly onto Dugu Sheng's face.

Dugu Sheng wiped the blood from his face and supported his father's fallen body. He hugged Dugu Jie and murmured: "Teacher can't see it, but future generations will be proud of you!"

-

Dugujie fell ill and was carefully cared for by the imperial physician for more than half a year before he fully recovered. After recovering, Dugujie became even more diligent. He held morning court hearings every day and went out incognito twice a year to secretly inspect the public sentiment.

During the thirty-nine years of his reign, Dugu Jie made a total of 65 patrols in private, built two canals, and built thousands of granaries.

The Chen, Jiang, and Qiang states in the north were affected by the war and had to rest for nearly twenty years before they regained their strength. However, in the past twenty years, Emperor Taiping had developed the Luo Dynasty into the most powerful country in the east, and the small country in the north could no longer make trouble.

In those years, the Luo Dynasty dominated the world and came to court from all over the world, and it became a truly peaceful and prosperous era!
