Inside the Cool Palace, it was silent and empty.

It was as if I could hear my breath, cold, lonely.

Luo Chen looked at his emaciated father lying on the bed, and an indescribable feeling came to his heart.

In his eyes, his father is always calm and resolute, so high and strategic. Never be defeated by anything. He even thought that his father would live like this for a thousand years. There is no need to worry that my father will leave one day in the future.

And now, my father is lying in bed like this.

He walked to the edge of the huge dragon bed and sat down, and stretched out his hand to hold his father's withered and thin hand. Luo Chen looked down at his father, as if he had opened his eyes for the first time and saw his father.

Emperor Qinglong's physical condition in recent days can be regarded as a rather bad one in these years.

Almost fainted several times in the imperial study.

If it weren't for the imperial doctor who hung it with silver needles and ginseng soup in time, maybe he wouldn't be able to sleep.

Sheng Sheng suppressed the news and only said that he needed to rest if he was infected with wind and cold. Emperor Qinglong has been conscientious for so many years, and it is the first time that he has been absent from work.

When he woke up, he only ordered someone to look for Luo Chen. The palace concubines of the various palaces were not seen.

Luo Chen looked at his father's emaciated face, and for the first time felt that his father was old. There is a chance that he will leave him.

"Chen'er......" Emperor Qinglong opened his eyes slightly.

Luo Chen responded lightly, picked up the slightly cooled ginseng soup on the table, helped Emperor Qinglong up, and fed him carefully.

Moistening his throat, Emperor Qinglong slowly exhaled a breath.

"It's still old after all." Emperor Qinglong smiled self-deprecatingly.

Luo Chen's expression was faint and he didn't answer. Just silently wiped the ginseng soup that flowed out of Emperor Qinglong's mouth.

Emperor Qinglong's eyes looked at his son with his head bowed slightly.

Since he was a child, Luo Chen was a child who didn't like to be close to him and the queen. It's as if all your love for him has been thrown into the water, and he doesn't appreciate it.

But the perseverance in Luo Chen's eyes from time to time made him firm in his determination that this child could carry the entire country.

"Chen'er, my time is numbered. There are some things that I have to entrust to you. Emperor Qinglong leaned the cushion.

Luo Chen nodded, sat on the sidelines, and waited for the emperor's orders.

Emperor Qinglong sighed, stretched out his hand and pointed to the golden cabinet at the foot of the bed: "There is a brocade box in there, you take it out." ”

Luo Chen turned around, and the gold cabinet had been placed at the foot of the bed, which could be seen often. Open the door. There are more than 10 large and small brocade boxes inside. For a while, I couldn't tell which one to take.

Luo Chen frowned. Swept around in these brocade boxes. A box that is gray compared to other brocade boxes is in the corner, silent. After thinking about it, Luo Chen reached out and took out the box.

Emperor Qinglong kept his eyes on Luo Chen. He knew there was more than one box in the cupboard. He was waiting to see if his son would come back and ask him. But Lochen didn't. Rather, rely on your own intuition. Picked the one and only box.

"Alas. You are indeed a man of destiny. Emperor Qinglong looked at Luo Chen and handed over the box. sighed.

If he could, it would be best if such a fate ended in his lifetime. But everyone wants to leave behind future generations, the sins of ancestors. Nature will be inherited by generations to come.

"Open the box." Emperor Qinglong held a silk handkerchief to his mouth, and his dry throat made him cough.

Luo Chen didn't doubt it, and opened the box directly. There was a pill lying quietly inside.

His eyes flashed without a trace, and Luo Chen raised his head indifferently to look at Emperor Qinglong, waiting for the following.

"This is the fate of our family."

A pill looks no different from the pill you usually see. The gloss is dull and the smell is strong. It should have used a lot of precious medicinal materials, and Luo Chen knew a little, but he could only smell the ginseng in it, and he couldn't smell it anymore.

"We, the Dong family, have been sitting in this position for two hundred years. For more than two hundred years, anyone who sat in this chair did everything in their power to make the Shang nation prosperous. Father's path has come to an end, and the next road will be handed over to you. Emperor Qinglong looked at Luo Chen lovingly.

Luo Chen looked directly at Emperor Qinglong, holding the brocade box in his hand, and did not move at all. There was no ecstasy, no sorrow. It was as common as the emperor to tell him to eat dumplings for dinner today. There is no love for the soon-to-be-born human being.

Emperor Qinglong couldn't help but sigh, not sad or happy, how did his son, accidentally become a facial paralysis. In the past, he was a little impatient, but now that he was handed over to him, he didn't even have an expression.

"Father hasn't said what this pill is for." Luo Chen's tone was light, and he lowered his head to look at the pill.

Emperor Qinglong loosened his eyebrows, it turned out that he didn't explain it. No wonder Luo Chen had a waiting expression on his face.

"This pill is something that every emperor has to take." Emperor Qinglong's eyebrows were a little dark.

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows, and this regulation?

Don't tell him this pill is an elixir. If it was true that every emperor had to eat it, his father would not be lying in bed like this.

"We are in the same vein as the Dong family...... The promise made back then. Be sure to do it. The Emperor said in a heavy tone.

Luo Chen could see that even if he continued to ask, he might not get a real answer. After thinking about it, he closed the box.

"When my father really can't hold it anymore, I'll take over the burden and my sons." Luo Chen said lightly.

Emperor Qinglong looked at Luo Chen's face and sighed. This can be regarded as his son's filial piety to him. A normal prince would like to snatch it up and take it for himself at this time.

But he was a father who loved his children, and he couldn't tell his sons how hard it was to fight for the chair in his hand. Only Luo Chen, only Luo Chen, he can safely entrust these to him. Because of this, Luo Chen's life was ruined.

What a price it takes. What a frustration this is.

Walking out of the Qingliang Palace, Luo Chen raised his head to look at the sinking red sun on the high palace wall. The center of his brow furrowed tightly. The royal family must be hiding a secret, but should he pursue this secret to the end?

In the Dongnuan Pavilion, Chonghua looked at her husband who had been lying on the chaise longue and holding a book since he came back from outside, but he hadn't turned a page and was stunned the whole time. Brain-blowing.

I went to the palace and didn't come back with a whole body of aroma. I shouldn't be going to see the queen. There is a faint smell of medicine on the body, is anyone in the palace sick? With a solemn face, could it be that something unacceptable was encountered? But I thought that I should be able to solve it by my own ability, so I was thinking of a way? It's hard to guess which one it is.

Chonghua rubbed her eyebrows, guessing Luo Chen's thoughts, she was really happy with this kind of unreliable thing. Every time I cry stupidly.

"Okay, I didn't think about anything. It's just that time flies too fast, like flowing water...... "Luo Chen didn't even look back, he knew what his wife was doing at this moment.

Chonghua smiled embarrassedly: "I just think I can't help anything." ”

Look at those girls who have crossed over or been reborn, they are not only proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also have clever brains and clever plans, and they can also earn money and seize power in a good way. On the other hand, she really came to enjoy the blessings. The same treatment as retired veteran cadres, in addition to eating and sleeping every day. The door is not out of the door, although she is also used to this kind of life. Impatient to intrigue with those noble ladies. But this really didn't help Luo Chen at all.

"Thinking too much, your husband is not a woman who relies on me. You just stay at home obediently and let the palace rest assured. Luo Chen threw the book on the low table and closed his eyes slightly.

Chonghua thought for a moment and asked, "Is there any problem that my father gave you?" ”

The whole world can give Luo Chen a headache like this, and there is no second one except the emperor.

Luo Chen propped himself up and looked at Chonghua: "I didn't tell you not to guess, there is nothing to guess." ”

The tone was cold, and the stinging Chonghua was stunned. It seems that not only is it a problem, but there is also something wrong with the body of the eighty percent emperor.

"Is it very strict?" Chonghua walked over and sat down beside Luo Chen.

Luo Chen twisted his eyebrows and raised his hand to block Chonghua's eyes: "Don't." Don't put on such a worried face. ”

Chonghua was stunned and pinched his sleeves. What does that mean? In his heart, he raised his head and grabbed Luo Chen's broad palm. It's cold to the hand.

Men's body temperature is definitely higher than that of women, but Luo Chen's hands are like the first snow in winter. The cold Chonghua couldn't help but shiver.

"Follow me...... Can't you say? Chonghua hesitated and asked.

Luo Chen looked at her coldly and let her hold her hand. After being silent for a long time, he lowered his head: "I thought that my father would live for a thousand years." ”

Chonghua was silent, could it be that the emperor's body was already so bad? The emotional father who needs to be a son will not live long, is it a stroke or a cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease? Is it overwork? I didn't hear any news. In this era, the emperor is the most concerned person. As soon as there is a disturbance, it spreads like a pebble falling from a pool. If something really happened, how could it be so quiet.

"Has the Imperial Doctor seen it?" Chonghua thought in his heart that if Mu Lao didn't go with Zuo Jichuan, maybe he could help take a look. It's not that she doesn't look down on the imperial doctor here, she has been living in modern life for a long time, and she really can't rest assured about the technique of diagnosing the pulse of the suspensory filament.

There were no x-rays, no CTs, no antibiotics in this era. Even if there is really something wrong, I can't even do a single operation. It is important to know that there are many diseases that can be solved by surgical excision if they are detected early.

But because of this era, maybe Luo Chen could only watch his father die.

This feeling of powerlessness was tormenting Luo Chen now, and she couldn't help anything.

If she's a doctor in modern times, maybe she can help. But she is just the most ordinary one among many ordinary people. (To be continued......) R1292
