Zhang Zong strode to Li Hong's bedroom, but at first glance he saw Li Hong lying on the bed. However, when he saw Li Hong two days ago, the other party was obviously fine, but now his face was gray and he could not see any anger, just like a corpse.

"Your Majesty!" Zhang Zong couldn't help but feel sore when he saw Li Hong's appearance. He never expected that Li Hong would become like this after only two days.

"Where are you using medicine?" Zhang Zong suddenly thought of something again, and immediately grabbed Li Jin's arm and asked.

"I used it. My father was fine in the middle of the night, but suddenly he became ill, and it was useless after taking medicine." Li Chongye replied with tears in his eyes.

"Mr. Prince Consort, Your Majesty... Why did Your Majesty suddenly get so sick?" At this moment, a woman in the palace dress next to her also cried and asked. This woman was Li Hong's wife, Empress Pei. She came from the Pei family in Hedong and was of the same clan as Pei Xingjian.

"this……"

Zhang Zong didn't know how to answer at this time, but at this moment, he suddenly heard Li Hong on the hospital bed making an abnormal sound, which made everyone surrounded him.

Li Hong's throat made a few "clogs" sounds, and then he slowly opened his eyes. When he saw Zhang Zong, a candlelight burst out from his eyes, and his whole body seemed to have regained some vitality.

At this time, Zhang Zong hurried forward, grabbed Li Hong's hand and asked, "How do you feel?"

Li Hong opened his mouth, as if he had something to say, but there was only a few abnormal noises in his throat. Obviously, he could not even speak, which made Zhang Zong's nose sore, and tears finally flowed out and said, "If your Majesty is uncomfortable, take a rest first, don't force it!"

However, when Li Hong heard Zhang Zong's words, he shook his head gently. Then he panted a few times and seemed to have accumulated some strength. Then he reached out and grabbed Zhang Zong's hand, and the other hand pointed at Li Chongye, as if signaling him to come over.

Li Chongye immediately stepped forward immediately and reached out to hold Li Hong's other hand.

Li Hong put Li Jin's hand on Zhang Zong's hand and pressed it hard, which made Zhang Zong immediately understand what he meant, so he spoke solemnly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I understand what you mean, and I will do my best to assist the prince!"

When Li Hong heard Zhang Zong's words, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and then pointed to his pillow, which made Zhang Zong and Li Chongye stunned. He really didn't understand what Li Hong meant?

Fortunately, there was a Queen Pei next to her. She held back her tears and then reached out to take out something from Li Hong's pillow. Because the hard pillow used by the ancients, Li Hong's pillow was made of jade, and the middle was empty, and some things could be hidden inside.

At this time, Zhang Zong realized that what Empress Pei took out was an imperial edict. Then Empress Pei explained with tears in her eyes: "This is an imperial edict written by His Majesty after he fell ill last time. I thought it would be useless, but I didn't expect... I didn't expect..."

Empress Pei couldn't help it at the end and immediately covered her face and started crying.

Zhang Zong was sad when he heard this, but he still took the imperial edict at Li Hong's instructions, and then opened it and looked at it. The content above was not surprising. It was an edict sent to Li Chongye, and there were some arrangements for the court.

"Your Majesty~" Zhang Zong felt a choke as he looked at the content of the edict, and tears poured out again.

However, Li Hong seemed to breathe a sigh of relief after seeing the edict, and a smile appeared on his face. Then he suddenly stiffened his expression and found a few strange noises in his throat. Then his eyes slowly closed, and then there was no sound again, and his chest stopped rising and falling.

"Your Majesty! Father!" Zhang Zong and Li Chongye shouted at the same time when they saw this. Empress Pei next to him fainted, and there was also a little mess in the hall.

The imperial doctor next to him also hurried forward, but then said with a sad look: "Your Majesty... has passed away!"

With the announcement of the imperial doctor, the hall was silent at first, and then countless people started to cry. Now all the people in the hall were people Li Hong absolutely trusted, so they were sincerely saddened by Li Hong's death.

However, after crying for a while, Zhang Zong suddenly stood up and pulled Li Chongye up and said, "It's not the time to be sad. Chongye, stay here, temporarily block the news of His Majesty's death. I'm going to go out to see someone!"

"Who are you going to see in sir? Wouldn't we spread the news of our father's death to the whole city first?" Li Chongye wiped the tears from his face at this time, and then asked in confusion.

"No, the alternation of imperial power is the most dangerous. However, we must be fully prepared. You don't have to worry about the next thing, I will handle it!" Zhang Zong didn't have time to explain to Li Chongye at this time. After that, he patted the other party on the shoulder, then left the bedroom with a big stance.

In fact, Zhang Zong is also very sad now. After all, he and Li Hong have known each other for so many years, and they are both kings and ministers, and even good friends. In addition, they have a peaceful relationship, so Zhang Zong also wants to stay by Li Hong's side to send him his last journey.

But reality does not allow Zhang Zong to stay any longer. Although Li Chongye had blocked the news of Li Hong's illness before, after the last incident, more people must have stared at Li Hong. Now the news of Li Hong's death may not have been spread yet, but it must not be kept secret for too long. It is estimated that many people will know this news before dawn.

So there is not much time left for Zhang Zong. If he doesn't prepare as soon as possible, if someone attacks Li Hong when he dies, the situation will be serious. Maybe it will even shake the foundation of the Tang Dynasty. This is no joke.

Thinking of the above, Zhang Zong was also anxious, but he did not dare to leave the palace in a carriage like he did when he came, because he knew that too many people were staring at the palace and his every move. If he suddenly left the palace in a hurry as soon as he entered the palace, someone might be guessed something.

So Zhang Zong asked someone to find a piece of clothes for the guards, then changed his clothes and rode on a horse, and mingled with a team of guards, and then quietly left the imperial city. After leaving the imperial city, Zhang Zong immediately ran.

The wind is cold on winter nights, especially when riding a horse. The wind shaves like a knife on his face, making people feel that his skin is hurting. This is also the main reason why he usually doesn't like riding a horse. But at this time, Zhang Zong no longer cared about these things and just kept running wildly.
