Jin Xin hugged his head, gently stroked his long hair, and whispered, "You are not a useless person, you just need to rest."
"You don't need to comfort me, I know my body."
"So what? I have already sent people to Annan to find the antidote. I have also sent people to Southern Xinjiang. As long as there is an antidote, you can stick to it, can't you?" Jin Xin looked at him seriously and asked.
He is waiting too.
But his condition was worse than expected, and it would take him three years before he could no longer suppress it. Seeing that there was still nearly a year left, he felt powerless.
Xi Lim no longer listens to his own orders, and he will have to rely on others to take care of him for the rest of the day. Maybe he will have trouble even eating, and the antidote will not come, so he will have to lie down.
Let Jin Xin watch him live in embarrassment and disgust, then make people disgusted, and finally wish he died. The only memories left behind are the disgusting memories before his death.
So what's the point of living for another six months?
He couldn't accept it.
That's why he collapsed just now.
"You promised me, can you do it?" The emperor asked suddenly.
Jin Xin was startled, "Do you still have to give up so early?"
"Can you do it?" he asked again.
Jin Xin nodded helplessly, as if she had made a lot of determination.
The emperor then smiled and said, "Don't lie to me."
"Let's change clothes first." Jin Xin said helplessly.
Then the emperor was taken down to change clothes, but he prepared a bottle of poison for himself and carried it with him.
Gu Zhao was standing outside the palace at this time, watching the queen come out, and felt slightly uneasy, "My queen, how is the emperor?"
"I heard that Miss Su Yan has managed the general's residence for you and your property for the past few years. Do you plan to give her a title?" Jin Xin asked without answering.
The emperor is letting go of Gu Zhao now because of his health, but if he thinks about it, he will naturally not let go of Gu Zhao.
Perhaps, Gu Zhao's marriage will dispel the emperor's suspicion. If possible, if he asks to resign, the emperor will be more convinced that he has no selfish motives.
As long as Gu Zhao proves his loyalty, the emperor will naturally reuse him.
Gu Zhao was in a dilemma. He had never thought about having anything to do with Su Yan. Gu Zhao really deserved Su Yan's efforts over the years, but she never mentioned any affection, but she showed affection everywhere.
"Miss Su is very good, but I don't deserve it." He lowered his head, not daring to look at her.
"I think Miss Su is a good woman, virtuous and gentle, resolute and courageous, with decisive character. Such a woman is a perfect match for General Gu." Jin Xin said with a smile.
Deliberately saying this outside the royal study room meant that everyone could hear and see it, and Gu Zhao needed to make a decision.
Gu Zhao understood and immediately knelt down, "Su Yan is indeed an excellent woman. Although I feel that I am a rough and rude man and dare not match her, but heroes love beauties, I really want to join hands with Miss Su."
"In that case, I will grant you a marriage today, and the auspicious day will be half a month later. How about letting the Ministry of Internal Affairs handle the wedding for you?" Jin Xin asked with a smile.
"Thank you so much, Queen!" Gu Zhao said loudly.
In the palace, the emperor changed his clothes and walked out. When Jin Xin came in, she saw that he had adjusted his mood.
"You meant what you said just now so that I could hear it, right?" the emperor asked.
"Your Majesty, let me tell you something." Jin Xin stepped forward, signaling Huang Wanshun to go down, and dismissed everyone.
When the emperor saw this, he also became interested.
"you say."
"The Emperor knows that I am from Suzhou, and Gu Zhao is also from Suzhou. The Emperor should also know that our friendship is just that, and it is definitely not as close as the Emperor thinks."
The emperor frowned. He naturally knew that these two people came from the same place, but was Gu Zhao really so pure?
"So you were just trying to excuse Gu Zhao?"
"I'm excusing myself, and I also want to reassure the emperor. I've put so much effort into keeping you, why are you still suspicious of me?"
The emperor relented, which really shouldn't be the case.
He didn't doubt her, he just didn't trust outsiders, but since Jin Xin said so, he would listen to her.
"Okay, I won't worry about this anymore."
Jin Xin felt relieved.
Half a month later, the Ministry of Internal Affairs completed the marriage process for Gu Zhao and married Su Yan.
The prince himself went to watch the ceremony.
A few days later, Gu Zhao submitted his resignation.
The emperor looked at the resignation and was confused.
In the end, he didn't agree.
He could no longer stand on his two legs, so naturally he could not go to court. Although he was still the emperor, he only nodded his head for big and small matters, and the executioners were the ministers he supported.
Gu Zhao also voluntarily handed over his military power to show his loyalty, so the emperor would naturally not doubt him.
He gave the military power to Jin Xin for safekeeping, retaining Gu Zhao's status and weakening his strength. However, in the eyes of outsiders, Gu Zhao was still the protector in charge of an army of 100,000 people.
After summer, the group set off to the summer resort.
The emperor could only be pushed around in a wheelchair.
He now has no feeling in his thighs and no strength in his arms. He has to rely on help to eat, bathe and go to bed.
It was extremely hot this year, and he felt uncomfortable after sitting for a long time. He endured it for the sake of dignity.
I waited patiently for the results of the drug search, but there was still no news.
Several teams of people who were sent were missing.
Jin Xin took the emperor to the pond, and the two of them fed the fish together. The emperor could not hold the fish feed steadily, and could only sigh as he watched the fish crowding in front of him, but could not eat any of them.
Jin Xin immediately held his hand, grabbed a handful of fish feed, and threw it down. Those gorgeous fish swarmed up to fight for it.
The two of them laughed and the atmosphere was relaxed.
At the end of summer, they were about to return.
Jiang Quwu once again brought bad news, and several more teams disappeared.
They all disappeared near Southern Xinjiang.
Jin Xin was extremely angry, "This Southern Xinjiang is so arrogant and provocative all the time. It's really hard to swallow this breath."
"The emperor's remaining days are numbered. These people are going out in batches, but there is no good news at all, alas." Jiang Quwu sighed.
"We still have to send people there," Jin Xin said helplessly.
With a high bounty, there are naturally many brave men.
As long as they set out, each person will be rewarded with 100,000 taels. If they return with the antidote, they will be rewarded with 300,000 taels of silver. Naturally, many people will volunteer.
The emperor was sitting by the pool. Although they were far apart, the emperor vaguely heard a few words. Looking at their expressions, the emperor also guessed something.
He chuckled, with resignation in his eyes. Huang Wanshun, who was beside him, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, do you want fish food?"
The emperor didn't speak. He tried to raise his hand to pick up the fish food that was at hand, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't place his raised hand steadily on the bowl. When he finally raised it, he lost the strength and knocked it all over the floor. All the fish food fell into the pond.
The movement here made Jin Xin look over here, a little worried, and immediately stepped forward.
The emperor smiled back at her, but he was determined.
In the secret space of the wheelchair, there was a song playing something that made him feel at ease.
It seems that God wants him to make a choice.
