The old emperor is already old. He has no interest in government affairs. He took a lot of tonics in the early stage, but he was unable to succeed. Coupled with the new beauty and noble concubine, his body was emptied. Coupled with the poison in his body, it became even more...

I can't afford to be sick.

Today in the court, someone openly said that he wanted to establish a prince!

This was a big taboo in the heart of the old emperor. He could give the throne to his son, but it was absolutely forbidden for his son to take it from him.

"You guys are so brave. I have the final say on my throne. Now that I have established a crown prince, do you want to curse me to death?"

"Wei Chen dare not."

There was a row of people kneeling on the ground, but they were all worried. In fact, they had long wanted His Majesty to establish a new crown prince, but the emperor was in such a state that he would get angry every time he mentioned the old emperor.

But this time, the old emperor is dying of illness, and he still clings to his power. Even if there are no external troubles in the future, there will definitely be internal troubles.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, please think again!"

The veterans below are all trembling with fear. The old emperor has imprisoned many people recently. Although they don't want to be a member of that prison, they can't bear to have this great country occupied by others!

"Report——"

Unexpectedly, a soldier ran in from outside at this time. He held an emergency report from 800 miles ahead in his hand. As soon as he came in, he knelt on the ground.

"Reporting to your majesty, there is trouble ahead. The Dongyue Kingdom has joined the Xiongnu and captured one of our cities in just three days. The general in front is asking for reinforcements!"

The old emperor's originally pale face was now even more bloodless.

"Tell me the specific situation quickly."

The old emperor shivered, and now he finally felt scared.

"The Dongyue Kingdom and the Xiongnu have joined forces. In the west, without any obstruction, they captured a large city in three days and are now marching to the east! The front line is asking for support."

The old emperor suddenly slumped down on the throne, not expecting that things would become so serious.

"Report——"

As soon as the soldiers in front finished speaking, another soldier came from behind and kneeled on the ground and said directly to the old emperor.

"Your Majesty, just last night, the Dongyue people captured Yunzhou. We are asking for support from the front."

The old emperor is now hopeless: "Last night?"

Yunzhou is the largest city in the west of Bishu Kingdom, and there are more than 100,000 soldiers stationed there.

"How could it be captured? How is it possible? There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers there!"

The soldier kneeling on the ground had shabby clothes, stab wounds on his face, and blood all over his body. It was obvious at first glance that he had just come off the battlefield.

"Your Majesty, the Dongyue people are cunning. They have set up an ambush in the city. Just last night, most of our 100,000 soldiers were killed. The general ordered me to come here overnight. Five horses were killed on the road. Your Majesty, what's ahead?

I really can’t hold it anymore, please support me!”

boom!

The soldier slammed his head to the ground, and the sadness on his face was not fake.

In the main hall, all the officials burst into grief, and some even sat on the ground and cried bitterly.

The old emperor was also sitting on the throne and was frightened. He always felt that with Xiao Jinyan blocking the way to the west, the Dongyue Kingdom and the Xiongnu people would not be able to get through at all.

After all, Xiao Jinyan's Xiliang is in the west. If there is any trouble, it must be him.

But Xiao Jinyan was a man with a deep mind. He had been stationed at the border for so many years and never made a mistake, which was why the old emperor had this illusion.

"Impossible, this is impossible, how could they cross Xiliang?"

"Your Majesty, they did not cross Xiliang, but went straight around Xiliang. Their destination is our imperial city!"

The wailing sounds continued below, and the old emperor's drug addiction relapsed. His body began to twitch involuntarily, and some unrealistic images flashed through his mind.

His face, which was originally pale, was now white and blue, looking as if he had just climbed up from the ground.

"Your Majesty, hurry up and issue the order, otherwise it will be too late."

"Yes, Your Majesty, they will attack the imperial city in two days, and our country will be over by then."

The old emperor kept twitching on the dragon chair. The young eunuchs nearby saw it and quickly gave the old emperor some life-saving pills.

However, as it stands now, Jiuxin Pill is obviously of no use.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

His Highness's wailing, the buzzing in the old emperor's head, and the constant trembling of his body, everything was like a ignited firecracker, erupting all at once.

"ah--"

The old emperor vomited a mouthful of blood and fainted.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Call the imperial doctor quickly——"

There was chaos in the palace, and Concubine Wan Gui had actually made preparations early.

"Mother concubine!"

The eighth princess stood next to Concubine Wan Gui: "I have thought about it, Xiao Jinyan is not bad. Although he is a sick man, he has been sick for so many years, so he should not die so easily. And considering the current situation, Xi

Liang is a very safe place.”

Concubine Wan Gui nodded with satisfaction. Her daughter had finally grown up and no longer followed General Na Su around.

"It's best for you to figure it out for yourself. The battle ahead is tense right now. Even though we won't be able to reach here for a while, we still have to be prepared."

The Eighth Princess nodded. She was not so naive now. You could feel everyone's panic in the capital, and it was even less peaceful outside.

It was good to marry Su Zhe, but he was devoted to the woman named Li. The eighth princess had been waiting for him for so many years and had been entangled for so long. Su Zhe was still unmoved. The eighth princess was teased by her mother.

, I don’t want to wait any longer.

"In this case, I will ask your father to draw up a decree and betroth you to him directly. I forgive him and he will not dare to do anything."

Concubine Wan Gui had a smile on her face, Xiao Jinyan was the most cautious, and she had been cautious during these few visits to the capital, for fear of making any mistakes.

She believed that as long as His Majesty issued an order, Xiao Jinyan would not dare to refute it.

The Eighth Princess thought so too. Although Xiao Jinyan was a sickly boy, he did look pretty good, and the Eighth Princess was satisfied with him.

Moreover, for so many years, Xiao Jinyan has not had any scandals, which makes the eighth princess satisfied.

"Now that you have decided, don't provoke Su Zhe anymore. Through this incident, I think you should also understand that Su Zhe is simply unreliable. You don't have to wait for him anymore."

"I listen to my mother."

The eighth princess smiled shyly. Although it was chaotic outside, her quality of life could not be chaotic at all.

"One more thing, mother-in-law, do you know the brother and sister from the Dongfang family?"

"Dongfang Shuo and Dongfang Ya? They are obedient children and quite talented, but it seems that I haven't seen them for a long time recently."
