Quick Travel: Dream Hunt

Chapter 117 The Crown Princess is about to run away 15

In the end, Yu Linyuan couldn't persuade Ting He, so he had to arrange people in batches to infiltrate the palace and make arrangements in advance, and then he prepared to enter the palace himself.

Ting He made the excuse that she couldn't show up at the moment and stayed in Yun's house and refused to leave. Yu Linyuan didn't object and led his men into the palace himself.

After Yu Linyuan left, Ting He put on an invisibility talisman and followed closely behind him, and teleported directly to the old emperor's bedroom. Seeing that all the doctors in the Imperial Hospital were busy treating the old emperor, she did not interfere.

Tinghe did not take out a repair pill as it could be solved. She just watched coldly without doing anything. Seeing the old emperor breathing out more than breathing in, Tinghe felt a sense of pleasure for no reason.

After all, it was he who killed Yu Linyuan's father and took possession of his mother. Although the old emperor also indirectly saved Yu Linyuan's life, she didn't know how to say it. Ting He believed that the damage had been done and what to do was entirely up to Yu Linyuan himself. No matter how close the person was, she could not make decisions for others.

The old emperor was almost unable to hold his breath when he waited for so long that Yu Linyuan finally walked in, exhausted, and knelt down on the old emperor's bed, looking like a filial son.

The old emperor dismissed his attendants, took his hand and said:

"Yuan, Yuan'er, why haven't you gone to the border yet? What are you doing here..."

Yu Linyuan concealed his emotions and said with sobs:

"Father, please stop talking. You must get better soon. When you get better, I will immediately go to the border to take up my post and never come back to Chang'an. What is going on? Why would Prince Ning treat you so harshly? What exactly happened between you and Prince Ning?"

The old emperor coughed a few times and said tremblingly:

"You, you go, I let you go..."

Ting He Yinshen watched the two people talking about irrelevant things and decided to help Yu Linyuan. She said to her mind:

"Little fairy, go and help the old emperor and ask him to tell you about Yu Linyuan's life experience and what happened back then. After that, I will let you out for a few days."

The little fairy was indeed tempted and immediately agreed.

The old emperor, who was still struggling to get up and wanted to urge Yu Linyuan to leave the palace, suddenly changed the subject and said viciously:

"Yu Linyuan, you are a bastard. You should know that you are so determined to seize the throne when I am dying. Even if I find a son from the royal family to adopt and train him to be the emperor, I will not give you a chance to live. When the second son was framed and killed by me, I should not have married your mother as the queen and left you, a bastard, as the crown prince in order to rely on the power of the prime minister's lineage. You should know, cough cough, I should have killed you a long time ago. How could that bitch Ning Xin'er poison your mother but not send someone to poison you, a bastard, and let you stay to annoy me for more than 20 years, cough cough, why don't you die? It is my mercy to spare your life. Why don't you go to guard the border quickly? Cough cough, get out, get out of here, bastard, don't even think about taking the throne..."

Hearing the true feelings of the old emperor on his deathbed, Yu Linyuan tightened his grip on the edge of the bed, crushing a few pieces of wood. He looked at the old emperor in disbelief and murmured:

"Father? Are you confused or is this the truth? I admit that I am not your son, but my mother was poisoned to death by you and Ning Xin'er? Even the five poisons in my body were also caused by you, right? Okay, okay, father is so cruel to me. Not only did you kill my biological father, you robbed my mother, and cruelly poisoned her to death, and concealed the truth for more than 20 years. Is this how you climbed to the throne step by step on the bones of my father and mother? Haha, it's really ridiculous to think of me, Yu Linyuan. I respected you and retreated and tolerated Yu Linzuo and Ning Xin'er step by step, but in return you had the intention to kill me. Ha, it's really ironic. Even when you were dying, you were paving the way for others to drive me back to the border to guard the country for your Yu family. I can't return to the city without being summoned forever."

At this point, Yu Linyuan paused, looked at the old emperor who was on the bed with only one breath left, and whispered in his ear:

"I won't. I will take the throne back from you legitimately and avenge my father and mother. You won't let me cling to the throne, but I won't. I will climb up step by step. I will be the emperor of Chang'an City and make you restless in the underworld. I will let you watch how I, Yu Linyuan, get the throne. Even Prince Ning, I will cut him into pieces in your name. As for you, I will make you restless even after death."

"You... you dare... ahem... you don't even think about taking the throne. Come, come, kill Yu Linyuan on the spot, ahem, kill him quickly..." said the old emperor angrily.

However, after dismissing the attendants, only the old emperor and Yu Linyuan were left in the palace. No matter how loudly the old emperor roared, he was unwilling to give up. After waiting for a long time and no one came in, the old emperor roared unwillingly:

"You, you..." Then he couldn't catch his breath and died.

Seeing this, Tinghe finally breathed a sigh of relief. She took the imperial edict that she had prepared long ago and quietly placed it under the old emperor's pillow. Then she stood aside with a smile and continued to watch the show.

Yu Linyuan watched the old emperor die in front of him. No matter how strong his psychological quality was or how much hatred he had in his heart, he was stunned for a moment when he saw this scene. Then he walked forward and sniffed his breath. After confirming that the person was really dead, he couldn't help but shed tears. He didn't know whether he was feeling sorry for avenging his parents or feeling sorry for himself being kept in the dark by his enemies for more than 20 years.

Yu Linyuan knelt on the ground, tears dripping down his cheeks, and he shouted loudly:

"Father...Father has passed away."

When the people outside heard the words and squeezed in, they saw Yu Linyuan kneeling on the ground with a sad face and a truly filial look. The imperial physician immediately stepped forward to confirm the old emperor's death, and immediately knelt on the ground. For a moment, the solemn and dignified imperial palace turned into a scene of weeping and wiping tears.

……

When the emperor passed away, the entire palace was shrouded in white.

White curtains hung from the eaves of the palace, fluttering gently in the breeze. The palace's pillars were also wrapped with white cloth strips, making it look particularly solemn in the silence.

Standing in front of the palace gate and looking around, the palaces in the distance are scattered and well-organized. Against the backdrop of white, they appear more solemn and desolate.

The eunuchs and palace maids were dressed in white mourning clothes, walking hurriedly with their heads down, their faces filled with sadness and fear. The air was filled with the smell of burning paper money, and the rising green smoke seemed to be sending the old emperor's soul to another world.

The entire palace was immersed in an atmosphere of grief, and white became the only color here.
