Chapter 127. Lost at an early age

After a long journey, I finally returned to Chang'an, with a passion that had not yet been exhausted. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Before I had time to reminisce about this grand parade, the bad news came suddenly. It's overwhelming.

"The prince is seriously ill, I'm afraid time is running out. The cause is long-term depression and excessive sadness. ”

This sentence tore at the hearts of the emperor and queen like a flood beast. Let them breathe.

They also lost a child a long time ago, and that was their third son. Although the child died shortly after birth, it still made the then Jin Wang couple and the current emperor and queen grief, and now occasionally tears on the pillow towel when they dream back at midnight.

"No, Zhao'er is in such good health, she will definitely get better." The emperor comforted the queen.

"Please invite all the famous doctors to come to the palace and cure the crown prince's serious illness!" The queen wiped away her tears and instructed the chief administrator who was kneeling in front of her.

"Yes." The chief took the command and departed.

The queen was originally a person with a little medical skills, but now when she sees the appearance of her eldest son, she is powerless. But he insisted on finding the best doctor, but he wanted to grasp the straw of miracles.

The emperor sat on the side, noncommittal.

After round after round of Jianghu Langzhong and warlocks from all sides came and left, the queen finally stopped deceiving herself.

Looking at the crown prince, who was still in a coma with a high fever, the emperor and queen held hands and looked at each other with teary eyes, and choked up and couldn't say a word of comfort to each other.

"God, please exchange my life for Zhao'er's life! He's only 23 years old! The queen wept bitterly.

Suddenly, she felt the hand of Aiko in her hand click, "He's awake, Your Majesty!" ”

In addition to the surprise, he called the emperor sitting next to him to pay attention.

The emperor couldn't hide his surprise, and turned his head to stare at the prince's face.

I saw his eyelashes move slightly, flickering a few times, like a dish out of a cocoon, and finally struggled to open his eyes. Apparently all efforts have been exhausted.

"Father, mother!" Zhao'er opened her eyes and saw her parents with red and swollen eyes, and grinned slightly, as if she wanted to smile to reduce their worries. But it didn't work out.

"Kid! You've finally woken up! It's scared to death the queen mother! The queen leaned over and hugged her son.

"Ahem......" The prince coughed violently because he was pressed.

"Queen, hurry up, this kid finally escaped death, don't let you toss it!" The emperor looked at the queen and said jokingly, his eyes full of tears of surprise.

When he turned around, he saw the prince in tears.

The queen hurriedly stroked the child who had just been crushed, "Child, don't scare the queen mother!" The voice was clearly crying.

"Father, mother, concubine Cui...... She's dead! He couldn't stop crying.

Both of them were stunned when they heard this, how could they go so young.

"By the time I found her, she was dying. She said she could finally see me blind. The prince said, as if Concubine Cui appeared in front of him.

The emperor and queen grabbed their child's hand and didn't know how to comfort him. Just clutching her hand, hoping to give him strength.

"The imperial grandfather and the imperial grandmother are gone, my aunt Princess Lanling is also gone, and the imperial uncle Han Wang is also gone, and now even Concubine Cui has left me. I'm afraid that my sons will not be able to serve my father and queen mother, and I will be old after that, so I forgive my sons for not ......being filial," the prince said, coughing violently again.

I didn't even say another word, and I lost my breath.

It turned out to be a return to the light. Poor emperor and queen thought that the crown prince was cured.

"The prince can finally go and meet the people he grew up with." What kind of emotion was contained in the tone, even he couldn't tell. There are elements of sadness, jealousy, and many, many more that cannot be explained.

The crown prince grew up in the royal palace from a young age. In his short twenty-three years of life, the company of his parents was very rare, and the people who accompanied him in the past few years have left one after another. The blow to him was certainly not small.

"I didn't even notice the anguish and melancholy in his heart, and I didn't notice anything wrong with him. As a mother, I have a lot of responsibility. The queen hid her face and wept bitterly.

The emperor sighed, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.

"It's not just you, I, the father, haven't found out either. This kid is too filial, and he always hides his bad emotions when he sees us. The emperor said, recalling the way the prince stopped every time he wanted to speak.

"We did so little for him." The queen said as she stroked her son's cheek one last time.

When the emperor heard this, he seemed to remember something, and his fists were clenched, as if he was remorseful. The tears in his eyes swirled, and he was about to burst out.

"Your Majesty!" The queen looked at the emperor and wanted to comfort him, but she couldn't say anything.

"At the beginning, he asked me about Concubine Cui, but I didn't pay attention to it at the beginning, but after I gave the order, I left that matter behind. It wasn't until not long ago that Yang Su came to sue him, and Concubine Cui found it.

The two hugged their heads and cried for a long, long time. Until the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the pale face of his son on the couch.

What should come always comes, and what should be faced always has to be faced.

"Let's mourn!" The emperor sorted out his emotions, stood up and gave an order to the chief administrator outside the door.

"Yes! Your Majesty! ”

The father-in-law should bear it, and ran outside in small steps.

The prince's funeral was very grand, but it was extremely bleak. The three children were still very young and had no idea what was going on. One by one, they all cried when they saw their mothers crying.

The mourning essay written by Yu Shiji, the waiter of the internal history, was tragic and tearful, and all the ministers raised their sleeves to wipe their tears. Even several ministers, who are usually known for their strength, have wet eyes.

The white-haired man sends the black-haired man, and the young and ignorant child waits to be fed. The man lying in the coffin could no longer get up.

The emperor and queen looked at the three young grandchildren, who had lost their father and did not know that their fate had been rewritten.

"It's so pathetic. We're going to find a way to do something for them, Your Majesty! The queen wiped her tears and said to the emperor beside her.

The emperor nodded, "I will seriously consider this issue." They must not be allowed to have a lower standard of living than they did before they lost their father. ”

Listening to the emperor's serious tone, the queen said, "It seems that they will not be wronged in the lifetime of His Majesty!" ”

"I want them to never be wronged!" The emperor said in a serious tone.

A month later, in the court, the emperor named the crown prince "Yuande" and crowned the prince's three young sons princes.

"Your Majesty, do you want to crown King Qi as the crown prince?" In the dead of night, the queen asked the emperor.

"No, not the crown prince for the time being. Wait until the prince's children grow up. The emperor said categorically.

The queen was greatly surprised, "Does Your Majesty want one of the prince's children to inherit the throne?"

The emperor sighed, "There is this plan, first educate them all as princes." Wait until you're a little older to see if you have the potential to be a monarch. ”
