Chapter Eighty-Three: Father and Son Clash
After Xiao Qi returned to the palace, he went directly to the emperor, talked with the emperor for a while, and when he came out, he called Wang An out, walked to a secluded place and said, "How has my father been in the past three years?" ā
"Your Majesty has always been in good health, but he was in a coma once in the first two days before His Highness returned. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" remembered what His Majesty said to Imperial Physician Xia yesterday, and continued, "It's just that I cough from time to time for a few days, and it's good to drink a few pairs of medicine." ā
"Really? Did anything unusual happen before my father fell unconscious? ā
Wang An thought for a while before saying, "No, there is nothing abnormal. ā
Xiao Qi pressed step by step, "Then in the three years that I have been away, there is nothing wrong with my father?" ā
Wang Anxin was shocked, could it be that His Highness had already sensed that something was wrong? But he didn't show anything wrong, how did His Highness notice it? Don't...... Is it Your Majesty?
Wang An reined in his mind and said respectfully, "At the beginning, Your Majesty was overly thoughtful, unable to sleep at night, and had to work hard to deal with government affairs, and was always not idle. Later, he began to cough gradually, and the imperial doctor said that His Majesty's mind was too seriously depleted, and the old slave always advised His Majesty to rest more time, and after saying it a few times, His Majesty did not stay up very late, but the old problem of coughing was left. ā
Xiao Qi frowned and then asked, "What about the coma?" Have you ever had one before? ā
"That's not true, it was the first time His Majesty was in a coma before His Highness came back."
Xiao Qi nodded, his expression was not soothing, and his tone was faint and he couldn't hear his emotions, "Go down, I've worked hard for you in the past three years." ā
"That's what an old slave should do."
After the prince retired, Xiao Qi fell into hard thought.
According to Xiaoxiao, the body of the father emperor was caused by the cultivators, but now the people around the father don't know the reason at all, is it because they don't know about it, or do they deliberately hide it from themselves?
If you deliberately hide it from yourself, is it because of your father's orders?
Xiao Qi decided to ask his father directly, but thinking of his father's nature, Xiao Qi's originally steady steps became eager, and the anxiety and anger on his face were undisguised, and his eyes rushed in bloodshot.
Wang An, who had just returned to the gate of the hall and was guarding for a while, was so shocked that he stepped forward to stop Xiao Qi, who was obviously angry, but was pushed to the side and fell to the ground, and he didn't forget to shout, "Your Highness, Your Highness!" What's wrong with you? ā
It's a pity that Xiao Qi is now determined to go in like this, ignoring his exclamations, and entering the hall directly after no one covers it up.
The emperor's body is already weak, and he dreams more and sleeps less. Now there was a mess outside the hall, and all kinds of shouts had already woken him up, but he didn't care when he heard Wang An shouting His Highness.
His son himself knew that no matter how rude he was to outsiders, he would not do anything to him, so he lay down in peace again.
When he heard Xiao Qi's footsteps coming in, he half-leaned over and pretended to be angry in a voice that had just woken up and was still a little hoarse, "Qi'er, what are you doing here!" Early in the morning, come to disturb my purity! ā
After finishing speaking, he looked up and saw Xiao Qi's face, and instantly sobered up.
The eyes that were originally a little misty were extremely sharp after sitting up straight, and even the warm face seemed to be angular under this sharp gaze, "What's the matter with you?" But what happened? ā
The emperor kept thinking in his heart, what was it that made Xiao Qi so out of shape, but he filtered the recent events in his mind several times, and he didn't come up with a reason.
At this moment, Xiao Qi knelt down directly in front of the dragon bed, his bloodshot eyes staring at the emperor tightly, making his heart sour.
The expression on the emperor's face softened a little, and he gently persuaded, "What's wrong with my son?" Hurry up and talk to your father. ā
Xiao Qi looked directly into the emperor's eyes, his voice seemed to be a little hoarse from crying, and he said sadly and desperately, "Father, your body is not just weak, is it?" ā
The emperor's gaze dodged, and he quickly made a look of crying and laughing and said, "I thought you had encountered something big, so that's it?" ā
The emperor moved back and leaned against the side of the bed, looking at him with a little sadness, but still said with a funny face, "Say, who did you hear from someone about catching the wind and shadows?" ā
If he knew that someone had leaked secrets to Qi'er without permission, he would never let that person feel better.
Xiao Qi didn't believe that his reaction was true at all, he grabbed the corner of the emperor's clothes with two steps on his knees, the mist in his eyes gradually spread, but he couldn't help crying, and said with a little choked up, "Father, I asked Wang An just now......
The fingers under the emperor's brocade were clenched violently, but he still said quietly, "Oh? What did he say to you that scared you like this? ā
Xiao Qi's tears finally couldn't help falling slowly, and the emperor frowned impatiently and said, "I've told you everything, but it's just that I'm weak." How? Now you don't even listen to me, but listen to a minion? ā
Xiao Qi blinked, the fingers holding the corners of the emperor's clothes had begun to turn white, and tears were dripping down his body with his head down, he took a deep breath and looked up and continued, "Does my father know what kind of cultivation the woman who came back with me is already here?" ā
The emperor's heart jumped, just now he didn't admit it because he knew that without his instructions, Wang An would never dare to divulge anything, he had followed him since he was seven years old, and it was absolutely impossible to disobey his will.
Ever since Xiao Qi mentioned Wang An's name, the emperor knew that he was just deceiving himself because he was not at ease.
But now that Xiao Qi mentioned that he was dying, his heart became nervous, if that person's cultivation was strong enough, could he see the problems on his body.
Although his heart turned a hundred times a thousand times, the emperor still asked, "What kind of cultivation?" How did my body get to the immortals? ā
Xiao Qi looked at the emperor's appearance of not admitting it, his heart was angry, and he opened his mouth and said, "I don't know what kind of cultivation she is......"
Speaking of this, Xiao Qi deliberately paused, and saw that the corners of the emperor's originally tightly pursed lips were obviously relaxed, Xiao Qi snorted coldly, and then said, "But even the monks who have crossed the tribulation period are not her opponents, so you can imagine how powerful they are!" ā
The corners of the Emperor's eyes jumped, and his back gradually stiffened.
Xiao Qi glanced at the emperor and continued, "She told me that some monks have done something to you to make your body so weak, right?" ā
Now he didn't know how serious the emperor's body was, and his words seemed a little contemptuous.
The emperor knew from his tone that he didn't know much, and he didn't deny it, so he nodded and said, "Then what else did she say?" ā
Obviously, he wanted to find out how much Xiao Qi knew, but unfortunately Xiao Qi was not stupid, the emperor had already concealed something, and now he finally came out, how could he let him go, he stood up and looked at the emperor condescendingly, "You should say the rest, right?" ā
The emperor choked, his son is too smart and too difficult to deceive, what should he do?
