BXBX NOVEL Chapter 112: Emperor Tang’s Death.
“Farewell Song?”
Su Qin’s eyebrows slightly frowned.
In a literal sense, the “Farwell Song” is a song that is played by musicians and luthiers.
“Unfortunately, I probably wouldn’t use it…”
Su Qin shook his head slightly. He was not a musician nor a luthier and he had no interest in music.
“However, since I already got it, it doesn’t hurt to take a look.”
Su Qin thoughts moved and the System began to instill Farewell Song into his mind.
[Weng~]!
All the secrets about the Farewell Song was unveiled to Su Qin.
Su Qin then heard the sound of a mournful music in his mind
After a moment, Su Qin’s eyes opened.
“This Farewell Song is actually not that simple…”
Su Qin showed a hint of surprise.
Originally, he just thought that the Farewell Song was just a simple piece of music, but after learning its intricacies, he suddenly discovered that it was far from being just a piece of music. It combines music with Martial Arts.
When playing the Farewell Song, you can kill with the sound and music. It is a bit similar to the Spiritual Secret Technique of Xiao Li Flying Dagger.
If your Divine Sense was not as good as Su Qin’s, you’ll die upon hearing the song!
Su Qin has Signed In and received countless kinds of Divine Arts in the Shaolin Temple, with many killing methods that also involved sounds.
But in these Techniques, the killing intent is revealed and exposed blatantly.
For example, the Shaolin Temple’s Divine Art [Lion’s Roar] which uses sound waves as a way to attack and as a weapon.
Something natural sounding and was just ‘regular’ music like this Farewell Song is very rare, there might not even be a second one.
“Not bad.”
Su Qin was satisfied at this discovery.
…
Su Qin resumed his peaceful and leisurely life.
Although the Imperial Palace was far from being as quiet as the Shaolin Temple, for Su Qin, it was almost the same. The things happening in the palace have nothing to do with him.
As the Brother-in-law of the Crown Prince, no would dare to provoke Su Qin.
On this day, Su Qin had just Signed In when he suddenly looked in the direction of the Long Life Temple.
The Long Life Temple is the palace of the Emperors of the Tang Empire.
“Emperor Tang is dying…”
Su Qin’s eyes were calm. Whether it was his [Eyes of Truth] or Divine Sense, he could see that Emperor Tang’s Life Essence was like a candle amidst the wind, it would go out that any time.
“Sigh~ there is one less interesting person now…”
Su Qin shook his head slightly.
Although he had not been in the Imperial Palace for a long time, he had already met with Emperor Tang several times. And he felt that the other person was a good person, at least he’s very good to Su Qin, and even rewarded him with many treasures.
He also wanted to transfer Su Qin to the Imperial Hospital.
Although Su Qin doesn’t really like these worldly possessions and status, this nonetheless shows that Emperor Tang is kind.
Of course, Su Qin only finds Emperor Tang interesting. As for other things, it’s meh.
The death of Emperor Tang was completely due to his lifespan ending. In this case, even an Arhat or Legend could not save him.
“But it doesn’t matter if you die, as it’s a torture to live…”
Su Qin thought silently.
Although Eunuch Zhao, a Peak Grade 1 was willing to extend Emperor Tang’s life with his own life, it does not mean that Emperor Tang can live comfortably.
Now that he is dead, this is also a kind of ‘liberation’.
“However, with that said, Eunuch Zhao should also not live long…”
Su Qin carefully felt the aura of Eunuch Zhao.
Eunuch Zhao could have lived up to around 180 years old.
Unfortunately, because he helped Emperor Tang, Eunuch Zhao’s body was inherently mutilated and could not progress any longer. Eunuch Zhao is now close to a state of exhaustion.
Now that Emperor Tang is dying, Eunuch Zhao will not live long either.
“Now that Emperor Tang is dying, he should call the Crown Prince over soon…”
While Su Qin was thinking about this in his heart, he found that a red-clothed eunuch walked out of the Long Life Temple and turned into a phantom, then rushed to the East Palace’s Cheng’en Hall.
Soon.
Crown Prince Li Sheng walked out in a panic and quickly moved towards the Long Life Temple.
…
In the Long Life Temple.
Emperor Tang leaned quietly on the Dragon Throne, his expression was calm, as if he didn’t seem to be facing death.
“Your Majesty, this old slave is useless and cannot prolong Your Majesty’s life…”
Eunuch Zhao knelt on the ground and whispered.
“You have done enough…” Emperor Tang managed to squeeze a smile, he indifferently said: “If it weren’t for you, I would have died ten years ago…”
At this moment, Crown Prince Li Sheng walked quickly into the Long Life Temple. He knelt before the Dragon Throne and asked with a trembling voice: “Father, are you okay?”
“You must be fine, I will call the Imperial Doctor over.”
Crown Prince Li Sheng tried to stand up, but was pressed down by Emperor Tang.
“No need.” Emperor Tang looked at Crown Prince Li Sheng, shook his head and said: “I know my own body. It is already unexpected that I can live till now…”
While he spoke of this, Emperor Tang coughed a few times. He continued: “Before you entered Chang’an City, I deliberately let your big brothers fight for power, win over the Officials, and divide the court.”
“Now, I have cleansed out those dissident Officials. Those who stay in the court now, even if they are not loyal to you, at least they are loyal to the Tang Empire.”
“After I die, you will take over. At that time, you can fully display your ambitions…”
“Just that, I may not see that in time…”
When Emperor Tang said this, his voice was obviously lowered.
“Father!”
Crown Prince Li Sheng’s eyes were red.
It was only at this moment that he realized what Emperor Tang had done for him.
Even when he was still on the outside and among the masses, Emperor Tang had already begun to pave the way for him, completely eliminating the resistance after his succession.
“There is one thing that I must do but couldn’t…”
Emperor Tang raised his head and stared at Crown Prince Li Sheng: “Your big brothers should have been killed. Only then, if you inherit the throne, there will be no future troubles…”
A hint of complexity flashed in Emperor Tang’s eyes.
In the end, he couldn’t bear to kill his sons… So he just chose to exile them.
“However, if they get in your way, you don’t need to worry, just call them back to Chang’an and kill them.”
Emperor Tang sighed softly, as if thinking of something and his face softened: “My only regret in this life is your mother…”
Emperor Tang leaned on the Dragon Throne, his expression showed a trace of nostalgia and his voice was like a mosquito:
“Ling’er, I have done what I promised you…”
“Father, Father!” Crown Prince Li Sheng looked at Emperor Tang, whose vitality was dissipating. His tears couldn’t stop flowing down his face and he cried loudly.
“Your Majesty…”
Eunuch Zhao raised his head and called in a low voice.
