Chapter 276 There’s Something Wrong with This Eunuch (32)
"My lady, what's wrong with your legs? Why do you walk so strangely? Do you want me to find a doctor for you?"
The young palace maid noticed that Sang Tian walked in a strange posture since morning and came forward to show concern.
Faced with the little palace maid's question, Sang Tian didn't know how to answer for a moment, so she could only find an excuse to get away with it.
How could she answer this! Damn Xu Zijie.
It was another day that Pingdeng bore a grudge against Xu Zijie.
That is, when she was staying with Xu Zijie every night, the old emperor's health suddenly took a turn for the worse.
No matter what medicine I take, it won't get better.
The concubines in the harem were worried about why the old emperor hadn't died yet, and the old emperor was also worried that he would really die on the spot.
He knew that the only person he could rely on now was Xu Zijie, and everyone in the palace was watching him.
The old emperor urgently summoned Xu Zijie to discuss the matter with him overnight.
At midnight, Xu Zijie appeared in a dazzling black robe, almost blinding the old emperor.
Xu Zijie stood only one step away from the old emperor and looked at him quietly.
The old emperor's fleshy face was covered with sweat because of his anxiety. He stretched out his hand to let Xu Zijie get closer to him.
"Zijie, please come closer to me. I have something to discuss with you!"
The old emperor took a long breath every time he spoke, and his eyes revealed his desire to live.
Xu Zijie just stood there and looked at the old emperor with cold eyes.
"Your Majesty, if you have something to say, just tell me. I'll be standing right here."
The old emperor didn't care that Xu Zijie called himself "I". He said anxiously: "Zijie, didn't you say you have some medicine that can make me immortal? Bring it to me now and let me take it!"
"I gave your Majesty this medicine. What benefit can your Majesty give me?"
Xu Zijie raised his eyebrows and looked at the old emperor as if he was watching a joke.
"No matter what you want, I can give it to you! Whether it's power or beauty, as long as you want it, I can give it to you!"
At this time, half of the old emperor's body was hanging on the edge of the bed, and if he moved a little forward he would fall off.
Xu Zijie took a step forward and the old emperor immediately grabbed the corner of Xu Zijie's clothes as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.
"What if I wanted to kill you?"
The old emperor looked up at Xu Zijie in disbelief.
Xu Zijie raised his hand and pulled back the corner of his clothes. "Your existence has affected the relationship between me and Concubine Li, so you'd better die, father."
As soon as Xu Zijie finished speaking, the old emperor's eyes suddenly widened, and then blood started flowing from all seven orifices, his head tilted, and he ascended to heaven.
As soon as the old emperor fell, a eunuch came out from the darkness and knelt in front of Xu Zijie.
"It will be ready after the cockcrows."
"Yes."
In the abyss-like palace, only the candlelight beside the emperor's bed was lit, and its reflection was on the old emperor's face that was still open after death.
The surroundings were as quiet as if in endless darkness. Xu Zijie slowly walked into the bottomless darkness.
After dawn, the eunuch's shrill voice echoed throughout the palace at the sound of a cockcrow.
As soon as Sang Tian got up, she was pulled up by the palace maid, and the first thing she said was that the old emperor was dead.
As a favorite concubine, she needed to be buried with the emperor.
She is a favorite concubine?! How come she doesn't know that she is a favorite concubine?
Before she could recover from this incident, some eunuchs in front of the old emperor rushed in and wanted to take Sang Tian away.
Sang Tian was escorted out by a group of eunuchs, and Xu Zijie stood outside and watched Sang Tian being taken out.
