What a witty answer, which did not offend him and left a great way out for herself.

Chu Zican secretly praised from the bottom of his heart. At the same time, a new idea sprouted in his mind.

Isn't there nearly a month left before she can marry King Qingping? And in case his father dies during this time, he and King Qingping will have to keep filial piety for three years, so won't King Qingping and her family affairs have to be postponed until three years later?

Three years was enough time for him to come up with a way to snatch love.

If he had changed to another woman, he wouldn't have had to make such a big effort and take so much risk, but she was different, and she deserved him to exchange for a qiē.

This woman, he had been deeply moved from the first sight of her, and later, although they could not be together for various reasons, but now, when he realized that the situation was more favorable to him, he couldn't help but have that kind of impulsive thought.

Chu Zican laughed secretly in his heart: God really helps me!

Although Chu Zican didn't want his father to have anything to do, judging from his father's current physical condition, it was not impossible.

Since the truth is so cruel, he has to think more about his future.

Chu Zican knew very well in his heart that as long as he became the emperor, this wish could be realized, and at that time, Chu Zihou would not be able to follow him.

But of course, if Shen Xizhen's heart is not followed, this matter will not be successful.

Thinking of this, Chu Zican's brows furrowed again.

However, he has always been the one who will do whatever he wants to get it, so he will do everything he can to win her.

If he can ascend to the throne later. He didn't care about making her the queen and letting Hua Yueyu be the concubine, as long as she was willing to marry him.

As for the second brother Chu Zihou's side. At that time, he will be the emperor, so he will not be afraid that he will oppose or come to war.

Therefore, Chu Zican told himself: he must try his best to ascend to the throne. Only then will it be possible for him to hold the beauty in front of him.

Looking forward to this, Chu Zican's eyes when he looked at Shen Xizhen became more and more gentle.

Shen Xizhen was uncomfortable by his ambiguous eyes, and hurriedly said: "If the prince has nothing else to do, the courtier will retire first." ”

"Uh-huh. You are busy with your own business. Chu Zican turned around with a smile.

Entering the house, Chu Zican thought about it again, and his mood became more and more turbulent.

At that time, the country and the beauty will be in hand. How wonderful!

But the scene of Chu Zihou pointing at him and insulting him suddenly flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help but tremble all over his body.

With Chu Zihou's deep affection for Shen Xizhen, he must not let go lightly, right?

Chu Zican was suddenly a little upset, and his brows furrowed again.

But soon. His brow furrowed again—what was he afraid of. At that time, I will be the king of a country, and I will have the final say in this matter.

Therefore, Chu Zican laughed out loud in his heart.

Because of this plan in his heart, Chu Zican didn't pay so much attention to Emperor Guangzhao's illness, and even, he was a little sad to see Emperor Guangzhao fall ill.

………………

Chu Zihou and his entourage wore the stars and the moon, rushed overnight, and finally returned to the palace in the early morning with the herbs picked from the hinterland of Lingqiu. He first went to Emperor Guangzhao's bed to greet him.

Emperor Guangzhao was already sick and dazed, and only vaguely heard that it was King Qingping who had returned. Then he touched his body with trembling hands, and touched his face. After making sure that the person next to him was him, a weak smile appeared on his face.

Chu Zihou's heart suddenly grieved.

He didn't expect his father's illness to be so severe!

But Chu Zihou wants him to live well, even if it is another half a year, as long as Emperor Guangzhao can survive and not die, there will be no chaos in this palace, and he will have time for Shen Xizhen to make good arrangements for what he will face next, and he can marry Xizhen Shunshun and Shun.

So Chu Zihou personally went to the dining room to boil medicine for Emperor Guangzhao.

This medicinal herb was collected by him from the hinterland of Lingqiu, and it was very useful for Emperor Guangzhao's illness. And it can only be harvested during this season, so it is very rare.

However, judging from Emperor Guangzhao's current physique, the weight of these herbs is extremely particular every time he boils the medicine - if there is less medicine, it will be fatal.

Although the people in the dining room have been professionally trained and know how to boil medicine, Chu Zihou still decided to take matters into his own hands, after all, if there is a mistake in this matter, it will kill people, and Emperor Guangzhao's life involves the rivers and mountains of the Xi Kingdom, so naturally there can be no sloppiness.

Chu Zican originally thought that Chu Zihou was just going to the dining room to explain how the people inside should boil this medicine, but he didn't expect that he would personally take charge of the fire there, and his heart suddenly felt a little uncomfortable - in this way, Chu Zican couldn't find someone to do something.

"Has King Qingping been guarding in front of that medicine pot?" Chu Zican, who was standing outside the Heart Cultivation Palace, asked the next person coldly.

"Yes, Prince, from the morning to the present, King Qingping has not left the medicine pot an inch." The next person reported truthfully.

Chu Zican's face changed suddenly, and his gaze became sharp.

"You go and tell King Qingping, just say that it's noon, tell him to go to the outer hall to eat, don't be hungry."

"No." The man hurriedly turned around and ran to deliver the message.

After listening to the man's words, Chu Zihou just smiled slightly and said, "You bring my lunch here." ”

"This ......" The man didn't expect Chu Zihou to say this, and suddenly had no idea, he really wanted to run back now to ask Chu Zican's opinion, but he was afraid that Chu Zihou would see the flaw, so he had to hurry to the kitchen and bring the food in a brocade box.

Chu Zihou ate it while looking at the fire.

The prince of a dignified country sat at the dark and narrow table in the dining room to eat, and the scene was really a bit funny.

The man was secretly complaining on the sidelines—I don't know how the prince should criticize him.

After eating, Chu Zihou stood up and approached the pot to smell it, and said with a smile: "It's ready, bring me a bowl." ”

"Yes." The man was about to run towards the cupboard next door, but he didn't want to be stopped by Chu Zihou.

"Didn't you still have a clean bowl in the brocade box you brought just now? Just use that bowl to hold the soup. Chu Zi Houyun said lightly.

The next person just remembered that Chu Zihou only used one bowl for eating and drinking soup just now, and thought to himself - could it be that he deliberately wanted to leave a clean bowl?

In the imperial palace, the dishes and chopsticks of Emperor Guangzhao, the crown prince, and the princes during their meals need to be closely checked, but it is not possible to ensure safety, because there are too many people in it, and the means are endless.

Chu Zihou's move just now was nothing more than to ensure that the bowl containing the medicinal soup was absolutely safe. (To be continued......)
