Chapter 1603 Death
Yun Dai said: "In that case, you should keep this secret well. Why do you need to tell me?"
"I don't have much time left, so I can't bring this secret into the coffin." The emperor said.
"What can I do if I know this secret?"
"If anything happens to Xiao Ziye, we won't have anyone in Daqi inherit the throne."
"Father, please wake up." Yun Dai sighed, "Have you seen that now your Qi Dynasty only has this cold city left, surrounded by hundreds of thousands of Zhou troops. The food and grass in the city have been exhausted. , how many more days can it last?”
Xiao Yan shook his head: "I believe that there must be a way to reach the mountain."
"You are so optimistic."
"Dai'er, you are the queen of Zhou, so you can't persuade the Emperor of Zhou?"
"If he is willing to listen to my advice, will I sneak into the city?" Yun Dai said, "Besides, he alone does not have the final say on matters like war."
Xiao Yan struggled to smile and said: "Dai'er, don't be afraid. I believe that Daqi will not be destroyed. Now the city is preparing for a counterattack. I believe it won't be long before some people can break out."
Yun Dai was noncommittal.
After entering the city and seeing the situation inside the city, she didn't believe at all that there was any hope for Daqi.
She said: "Father, don't worry. Even if Liangcheng is destroyed, Emperor Zhou will not kill you. Maybe he will turn you into princes by then."
"From an emperor to a king?" Xiao Yan shook his head and laughed, "You are still a child."
He turned to look outside and murmured to himself: "Look, Dai'er, how beautiful this autumn light is. Back then, your mother and I met in the autumn full of fallen leaves..."
Yun Dai followed his gaze and looked outside.
When she turned around, she saw that Xiao Yan had closed his eyes.
Yun Dai stared at his face in silence.
Although he looks very old, looking at his outline and facial features, he should have been a handsome man when he was young.
I think so.
If he is not outstanding, how can he make the daughter of the Hou family fall in love at first sight?
Yun Dai sat by the bed for a long time, until her eyes were sore, she looked away, stood up, and said to the outside: "The Queen, Your Highness the Prince!"
Queen Rong and Xiao Ziye walked in immediately.
When they saw the emperor leaning on the pillow, peacefully with his eyes closed, they all hurried over and knelt on the ground.
"Father, he has already gone." Yun Dai said softly.
Queen Rong looked sad and choked up: "Actually, if it weren't for Yao Shuibi's medicine, the emperor would have been unable to hold on long ago. Your Majesty, he has been waiting for you to come back. Dai'er, thank you for allowing him to fulfill his wish."
Yun Dai said nothing.
Although Xiao Ziye was also sad, he did not shed tears.
He had already been mentally prepared.
The emperor's illness was really too serious.
What surprised him was that Yun Dai actually called him "Father".
It can be seen that before the emperor died, she recognized him as her father.
This made Xiao Ziye feel gratified.
The death of the emperor was originally a huge event. But now everyone in Liangcheng is in danger, people are starving and dying everywhere, and a large army is surrounding the city. Who cares about the emperor's life or death?
After simply finishing the emperor's funeral, Yun Dai planned to leave.
The only purpose of her coming here was to see Xiao Yan for the last time, and now that she had seen him, she sent him away properly.
Once her goal was achieved, she returned home like an arrow.
Xiao Ziye was worried about her and wanted to use his own special channels to negotiate with General Zhou outside the city to send her out of the city safely.
