Xia Yao sat in the exquisite and luxurious carriage from the palace, and the palace not far away was like a fierce beast, opening its big mouth and trying to devour everyone who entered.

Xuanyuan Luo lived in the Longevity Hall, which was closest to the emperor's bedroom.

Longevity and longevity, it is not difficult to see the love and expectation of the person who took this name for Xuanyuan Luo.

At this time, the hall of longevity was filled with a bitter smell of Chinese medicine, and the palace maids and eunuchs inside were all in a hurry, with heavy faces.

The imperial doctor had already checked Xuanyuan Luo's pulse, and poured bowl after bowl of decoction, but he was still lying on the bed with a weak breath, his eyes closed, as if he might die at any time.

The eldest princess was red-eyed from crying, and sat on the edge of the bed with a somewhat sluggish expression. There were a lot of people who came to visit, princes, princesses and even concubines from the harem from all walks of life also came, and they all looked sad, and they didn't know if they were real or pretended.

Now the saint sat next to the eldest princess, his hair was gray, and his face had left the gap of years, and he looked at his son lying on the bed, his expression was obscure.

When Xia Yao came, she saw such a scene, and she greeted everyone in fear, for fear that she would accidentally become cannon fodder.

"Get up!" The emperor spoke. His voice was a little dull, revealing a sense of helplessness, "...... Come and see Lo'er! ”

"Yes." Xia Yao lowered her eyes and stood next to Xuanyuan Luo.

It wasn't until this time that Xia Yao had a sense of reality, and the person in front of her seemed to be really bad.

But overnight, Xuanyuan Luo seemed to have been sucked out of his soul by a goblin. His face was pale, and there was a faint hint of cyan in the paleness, and his face, which had not had much flesh, was now even more skinny.

As if sensing a familiar aura, he slowly opened his eyes and said in a weak tone, "Miss Xia?" ”

"Hmm." Xia Yao felt a cold sweat break out on her hands, "It's me." ”

As soon as the eldest princess saw Xuanyuan Luo wake up, she got up in a panic and shouted, "Luo'er, you are awake, how do you feel?" Is there anything wrong with it? I'm going to call the Imperial Doctor. ”

Xuanyuan Luo slowly shook his head and moved slightly, as if he wanted to sit up. The palace maid who was waiting next to him was very discerning, helped him up and let him lean on the bed, and pulled the quilt up to prevent him from catching a cold.

As soon as he saw Xuanyuan Luo sit up, he seemed to be much better, and everyone surrounded him, and began to express his love.

"Ahem, cough, cough............" A heart-rending cough sounded, which shocked everyone's voices, Xuanyuan Luo covered his mouth, and after a while, he shouted weakly: "...... Father"

Hearing this, the emperor came over and sat on the side of Xuanyuan Luo's bed, stroked his head and said, "What's wrong?" Feeling better? ”

"Hmm." That's it! Another cough sounded.

"Father." Xuanyuan Luo shouted again. His gaze swept over everyone, and finally stayed on the emperor's face, as if he had given up on himself: "Is the son of the minister going to die?" ”

The emperor's hand trembled, and he smiled reluctantly: "Don't talk nonsense, isn't this good?" ”

I don't know if it's Xia Yao's illusion, she always feels that although the emperor's face is very sad, there is a faint sense of relief.

"Father." Xuanyuan Luo shouted for the third time: "How about you change the imperial doctor for Erchen?" ”

"Why do you want to change it?" There was a hint of inevitative intent in the emperor's tone, "Imperial Doctor Gong has been practicing medicine for many years, and he has been taking care of you since you were a child, so she is very clear about your physical condition. ”

"......" This time, Xuanyuan Luo didn't call his father emperor anymore, he just stared at his face for two seconds, and then pouted and said dissatisfiedly like a child with a temper: "What is the best imperial doctor in the hospital, Yierchen is just a quack, after so many years, my health has become worse and worse." ”

As soon as his words fell, Concubine Ning, who had been beside her, that is, Xuanyuan Che's mother, was impatient to persuade: "Imperial Doctor Gong has been seeing you since you were born, and he knows your condition best, you are already sick now, and then toss ......" Speaking of this, Concubine Ning wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and everyone knew what she had to say.

Xuanyuan Luo's hand hidden in the quilt was clenched tightly, and even pinched the palm of his hand, but his face was dissatisfied, "I talk to my father, what are you talking to a concubine?" ”

"This ......" Concubine Ning was stunned, her face flushed.

"That's enough." The emperor first scolded Concubine Ning and said, "Luo'er is already sick, what are you talking about here?" ”

Then he turned his head and said to Xuanyuan Luo with a smile: "You too, don't lose your temper anymore, is there anything that Imperial Doctor Gong can't do with you?" Don't mention it. ”

At this time, Imperial Physician Gong came to the dormitory with the medicine, he finished checking Xuanyuan Luo's pulse, breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "It's good to wake up, although it still hurts the foundation, but there is no worry about life for the time being." ”

When everyone heard this, some were disappointed, some were happy, and some began to cry with joy like the eldest princess...... It is the so-called life variety.

When the emperor heard that Xuanyuan Luo had no worries about his life for the time being, he was disappointed but faintly happy, he always felt that Xuanyuan Luo seemed to know something, but he was not sure, thinking that there were still a bunch of political affairs in the study that had not been handled, he told Xuanyuan Luo two sentences and left in a hurry

-- Fleeing in the wilderness.

As soon as the emperor left, everyone hurriedly began to retreat, and in the end, the eldest princess Xuanyuan Jing, all the princes, and the crown princesses Ning Susu and Xia Yao were left.

Xuanyuan Luo glanced at everyone, and said in a depressed tone: "Thank you for coming to see me today, it's a pity that I'm not feeling well and can't entertain you, so it's better to disperse!" ”

It is estimated that Xuanyuan Luo is the one who can drive people away so openly, but everyone didn't say anything, if they said something angry, they couldn't afford this responsibility.

The crown prince and the fourth prince Xuanyuan Ming, who wanted to use Xuanyuan Luo to win over Li Zongru, were polite, sent some expensive medicines, and planned to leave.

Seeing this, Xia Yao originally wanted to leave with everyone, but at the last moment, he was stopped by Xuanyuan Luo-

"Miss Xia, please stay." He glanced over to the crowd, "The rest of the people can go." ”

Xuanyuan, who originally came over to make a show to inquire about the news, saw this, and couldn't help but say loudly: "Fifth brother, this is not in line with etiquette!" ”

"Huh?" Xuanyuan Luo sneered, looked at Xia Yao and said with affection in his eyes, "I don't know what Miss Xia thinks?" ”

Xia Yao's opinion?

If she could, Xia Yao really wanted to leave with Xuanyuan Che and them now, she felt that Xuanyuan Luo now seemed to be on the verge of breaking out at any time, and if she wasn't careful, she would be doomed.

But she was faintly aware that this should be a test given to her by Xuanyuan Luo, if she left today, I am afraid that her friendship with Xuanyuan Luo would stop here?

Thinking that he has already gotten on Xuanyuan Luo's ship, and then wanting to come down cleanly is tantamount to a fool's dream.

Xia Yao gritted her teeth and decided to hit the south wall and not look back, no one would like the grass on the wall.

"Your Highness is still sick, so why don't you let me stay here and take care of him." She faced the crowd.

Kick everyone out and leave Xia Yao alone to take care of? It won't take care of the bed, will it?

However, now that Xuanyuan Luo is at the end of his strong crossbow, everyone thinks it is understandable that he wants to leave an heir.

The eldest princess obviously thought of it with everyone, but this person is biased, a girl who is close to her eyes and Xuanyuan Luo, who she watched grow up, who will she choose? Go without saying. Before leaving, she took Xia Yao's hand and said with guilt on her face: "Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of you in the future." ”

As soon as everyone left, Xuanyuan Luo waved his hand and let all the palace maids and eunuchs go down.

There was still the medicine that the imperial doctor had just brought at the head of the bed, Xia Yao looked nervous, and stammered a little: "Drink... Medicine... Is it? ”

The medicine in Xia Yao's hand was still steaming, and when Xuanyuan Luo saw this, he reached out and took the medicine over and drank it all.

Xia Yao was holding the candied fruit next to her and was about to feed him, but when she saw Xuanyuan Luo's expression again, she was stunned.

I saw Xuanyuan Luo's face condensed, his eyebrows and eyes were filled with deep anger, his face was still extremely white, with a sickly white, like a piece of white paper, but his lips were red, red as if they had been embellished with blood.

Seeing Xia Yao looking at him blankly, Xuanyuan Luo slowly hooked his red lips and said casually, "What's wrong?" ”

Xia Yao pointed at him, but couldn't say anything, "You, you ............" seemed to have grown up in an instant, obviously it was still that face, it was still that person, but it brought her an indescribable pressure. She couldn't help but take a half step back.

As soon as Xuanyuan Luo stretched out his hand to hold her tightly, he laughed slowly, laughing wantonly and arrogantly, his eyes were full of malice, "What? Want to escape? You're already destined to be my man, you see...... Lonely men and widows are in the same room, Lang has a concubine intention, nothing happens, do you think people outside will believe it? ”

The huge pressure came to her face, Xia Yao didn't dare to look directly at Xuanyuan Luo, lowered her head to avoid the gaze he shot over, and asked with a fierce scolding: "What's wrong with you?" Let me go...... Let go! What are you crazy about? ”

Xuanyuan Luo pushed Xia Yao onto his bed, he didn't want to be a seriously ill patient at all, he turned over and pressed on her body, and the unique fragrance of Xia Yao's body calmed him down a little.

He buried his head in Xia Yao's shoulder, "Yes, I'm crazy, Concubine Ning wants me to die, my father wants me to die, they all want me to die." What about you? ”

He stretched out his right hand and stroked Xia Yao's cheek, and spoke softly like love words between lovers, but the words he spit out were like needles piercing people's hearts, "What about you?" Do you want me to die? ”

Before Xia Yao could answer, he laughed again, his eyebrows and eyes full of madness, "But...... I just don't die. ”

Xuanyuan Luo smashed down word by word, "I will live, I will live longer than anyone else, longer than anyone else." ”

"They want me to die, so let them die first."
