The trees in the deserted yard were withered, and although the leaves on the ground had been swept away, there were still a few remnants left. The door panel was worn out with several wormholes, and the window paper on it had long been blown out, cracking and torn into a few scattered pieces. Beyond the threshold, the yard is clean, but the newly turned dirt can be seen, and the vegetation used to flourish here, and it has been abandoned for a long time. Some of the new mud hid the dead grass, and the weathered ropes around the well broke in half. The barrel fell to the ground damp, and a new well rope was tied to it. Hua Xun looked at the past inch by inch, and her heart was already full of anger, maybe not long before she came back, this place was still a deserted garden, with grass and trees above her knees, and I don't know how many snakes, rats, insects and ants were hidden in it. And Hua Junhou may have lived here for months......

Pushing open the door of the main room, although the inside is clean, the beams on the roof are in disrepair and gradually rotting. The vase in the room was filled with weeping flowers, and the curtain cloth was old. The musty smell made the incoming flower inquiry stagnant, and the white wall was mottled with watermarks and a little cyan. The ground was swept hastily, not very carefully. Hua Xun clenched the rusty hand that had just been pressed on the door knocker, and whispered with tears in her eyes: "Father? Father, are you there? ”

"Why don't you go in, Sister?" Hua Yan tapped the silver ruyi in his hand, hooked the corners of his lips, strode in, and turned to the window to the west.

Hua Xun followed him in, only to see an old man who was already thin and skinny lying on the bed at the window, with white hair and beard, lying silently, with a sallow face. A glimmer of light came through the window, and the man on the bed could be seen with pain on his face and a frown furrowed. The only one who can be identified is probably the gorgeous and splendid sleeves of the Hou dress exposed outside the quilt.

Hua Xun walked over quickly, trembling and reaching out to touch Hua Junhou, but he didn't dare to withdraw his hand. Hua Yan leaned coldly on the edge of the couch, looked at Hua Xun's appearance, sneered, and knocked the old man's leg lightly with the silver ruyi in his hand: "Father, your filial daughter has come to see you, don't you open your eyes and take a look?" ”

The old man lay still, as if he had no breath.

"Don't wake up?" Hua Yan sneered, tore off the brocade quilt covering Hua Junhou's body, and threw it on the ground, "Look for death!" ”

"Ah Zhi, stop!" Hua Xun grabbed Hua Yan's raised hand and glared angrily, "This is my father!" How dare you be rude? ”

"Sister, you blame me wrong." Hua Yan said innocently, "I just want to help you wake him up." Did you come back from all your hard work and bear to let your father not see you? Why is Sister so angry. ”

“…… Inquire ......"

Hua Xun was about to teach Hua Yan a lesson, but heard Hua Junhou calling her. Ignoring Hua Yan, she threw herself to the side of the bed, tears fell, grabbed Hua Junhou's withered hand, and endured crying: "Father...... I'm here! I'm here! Father...... How are you...... How did it come to this? Wasn't it okay when I left? ”

Hua Junhou's cloudy eyes reflected the appearance of Hua Xun, he looked at Hua Xun in a daze, and only after a while did he speak with difficulty: "...... You're back...... cough cough ......" didn't finish the sentence, and there was another violent cough, which made Hua Xun worry about it.

"Yes, Wentang is back. Thank you for your help, thank you for your father's help, "I feel that Hua Junhou is not as indifferent as he imagined, Hua Junhou still made a lot of effort in the matter ......of abolishing the prince, and was able to secretly send the excerpt out of Huafu without being discovered by Hua Yan, it seems that Hua Junhou really loves her."

“…… Walk...... Walk...... Ahem......" Hua Junhou glared and turned his head to look at Hua Yan, as if he couldn't breathe.

Hua Junhou has something to say to her? Hua Xun turned back to look at Hua Yan clearly: "Father asked you to go out, did you hear that?" Don't get out yet? ”

"Get out?" Hua Yan hooked her thumb and touched her lips, and a trace of darkness flashed in her eyes, "Father asked Sister A to go out, why did Sister Ah tell me to go out?" Father, who are you calling to go out? He looked at Hua Junhou and narrowed his eyes.

“…… Walk...... Let......'s go" Hua Junhou tightened Hua Xun's hand, with words hidden in his eyes, and tried to say word by word, "Go!" ”

"Father......" Hua Xun stood up and said angrily to Hua Yan, "How can you do this to your father?" Father loves you so much, why are you so beastly? ”

"Sister is wrong again. What do you call me a beast? I give him good food and drink, and I give him decoction and medicine, and I meet any of his requests, how can you say that about me? Putting away Yin Ruyi, Hua Yan said, "Okay, if you think I'm not good to my father, you can take him away." Take it to your second courtyard and let you, a filial girl, take care of it personally. ”

"Okay, you said it." Although I think it is strange for Hua Yanken to let her take Hua Junhou out, but this place is really inhabitable, according to Hua Junhou's situation, I am afraid that it will not be long before she lives for half a month.

“…… No...... Don't go......" Hua Junhou, who was lying on the bed weakly, shook his head and refused to go, "Don't ......"

"Father! Can't live here! You are the lord of the Flower Mansion, how can you live in this place? Hua Xun gritted his teeth and said, "Someone! Come! ”

Two attendants guarding the door came in, bowed their heads and said, "The little one is here!" ”

"Take my father out!" Hua Xun ignored Hua Junhou's wishes, and ordered the two servants to take him out.

The servant glanced at Hua Yan hesitantly, and Hua Xun said angrily: "Could it be that this Hua Mansion only listens to Hua Yan's words?" Even I can't call you? ”

"This ......" The servant looked at Hua Yan, Hua Yan smiled and played with Yin Ruyi, did not object, considered it, or obeyed Hua Xun, reasonably picked up Hua Junhou, and went out alone with Hua Junhou on his back.

Hua Xun followed, walked to the door, and glanced back at Hua Yan.

Hua Yan magnified her smile and waved her hand, "Sister go slowly." I do not send it. ”

"Ah Zhi, can you consider the consequences of doing these things? Do you really think that if you control a flower mansion, you can sit back and relax? You think about how to make amends with your father! ”

"It seems that Sister Ah doesn't know much about the situation in Huafu. Don't worry, you'll understand when Sister Ah stays longer. "Dust off the non-existent dust on your clothes, Hua Yan said.

After returning to the Mirror Flower Courtyard, Hua Xun instructed Pei Lan and the others to quickly arrange the Hua Junhou, and then went to see Chu Yan and the others.

"This Hua Yan is really bold!" took the water poured by Chu Yan and drank it all, trying to extinguish the anger in his heart, Hua asked, "This Huafu was made into a miasma by him!" I've only been away for half a year, and he wants to replace him and put his father under house arrest in that kind of place! ”

"Don't be angry, it's not that simple." Chu Yan frowned, his face solemn.

Hua Xun wondered, "Do you know anything?" ”

"It's just a very scattered piece of information." Chu Yan said.

"What kind of scattered information, that's what your family Zeeland told us." Hua An, who was knocking on the melon seeds, spit out the skin and said disdainfully, "Do you know that your precious brother is doing more than that?" Half a month after you left, Junhou suddenly became seriously ill, had to take medicine every day, and coughed up blood. Then there was madness all day long, as if he had fallen into an evil spirit. The most terrifying thing is that only the medicine given by Hua Yan can cure him every time. Oh, by the way, and your brother somehow was able to hook up with Taishou, calling him brother and brother every day, and often seeing people from Taishou's Mansion inviting him to banquets! He's so powerful, this flower mansion has fallen into his control unconsciously. Someone opposed him before, and he was arrested and put in prison for the crime of theft! Within three months, the people up and down the Huafu were replaced, and those who were not replaced were also towards him. It's so scheming at a young age! ”

"All of this is made by Hua Yan?" Hua Xun couldn't believe it, this ring step by step, it seemed that it had been arranged a long time ago.

"No, I think it was the people behind him who instructed it." Chu Yan analyzed, "He is a son of a family, and he has been smooth sailing since he was a child, so he doesn't necessarily have much ambition and scheming. Besides, looking at his personality, he is not as scheming as this. Who gave him the audacity to do this? There must be something in it that we don't know. ”

"Who is ......" Hua Xun lowered his head and thought for a moment, "Prince?" But wasn't the crown prince deposed...... Is there a turning point for the better? This time the crown prince was deposed, it was too easy...... It seems that His Majesty did not hesitate at all to depose the crown prince. It is precisely because of this that many people doubt His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... Or is it the new prince? But who will be elected crown prince? King Qi? King Zhao? Or the king of the river? ”

"Don't put so much suspicion on these people. As long as he has not been appointed as the new prince, he will not look at your Huafu. Chu Yan said.

"Oh no! Oh no! Zelan ran in, didn't bother to salute, and hurriedly said, "Prince, he...... He's sick! ”

"Onset?" Hua Xun raised his head suddenly and said to Chu Yan, "Let's go!" Let's check it out! ”

"Good!"

"Wait...... Shall I shout the commentary to see? Hanaan jumped up and said.

Hua Xun, who walked outside the door, turned around and shouted: "Okay, let's go our separate ways!" ”

Hua Junhou lay on the clean bed and couldn't stop shaking. Shivering all over, it seemed that he felt particularly cold, the green tendons in the corners of his forehead burst out, his eyes widened, and his mouth let out a muffled roar. He clung to the edge of the bed, grinning with a hideous grin. It is as if he wants to turn into a beast and choose people to devour.

"Medicine...... Medicine......! His bloodshot eyes widened, gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand to Hua Xun, repeating, "Medicine...... Medicine! Give me the medicine! Then it twisted painfully.

Hua Xun had never seen such a situation before, and looked at it dumbfounded, and shouted angrily: "You should go and call the healer!" Just go! Still stunned for what?! ”

"I've already called it." Zeeland replied.

"Ahh Hua Junhou collapsed and got up, covering his head, with a splitting headache, "Give me the medicine quickly!" I want medicine! "Struggled to roll out of bed.

"Father!" Hua Xun rushed over in surprise to help Hua Junhou up.

Hua Junhou seemed to be possessed by an evil demon, glared at Hua Xun viciously, his trembling hands struggled to choke Hua Xun's neck, and said frantically: "Give me medicine!" Why don't you give me medicine?! Do you want to kill Benhou? Rebel girl! ”

“…… Father...... Father's ......"
