Chapter 120: Father and Son
Ziyan brought the medicine over, the medicine bowl was still warm, He Hongxin took it with trembling hands, the decoction was shaking in the bowl, Ziyan couldn't help but reach out and hold his trembling hand.
He Hongxin's hands are full of wrinkles and calluses, and it feels rough like an old bark to the touch, thinking that he has been in prison for more than ten years, and now he has finally come out, and he is in such a situation, and he can't help but sigh with emotion: "I'll go and find Lord He......"
He Hongxin shook his head: "No, he doesn't want to see me, it's useless to force him to come...... Let's just do it. Saying that, he raised the medicine bowl and swallowed it hard, the pungent sour taste, Ziyan couldn't help but hold her breath just by smelling it, but He Hongxin just frowned, and still insisted on drinking the medicine all.
"Drink some water and rinse your mouth...... Ziyan handed over the water, He Hongxin grabbed it in a panic and poured it into his mouth, and poured several cups before he could be relieved.
"Help me lie down...... He Hongxin was very tired, and said lightly, Ziyan nodded, helped him lie down on the soft couch, and brought a blanket to cover him, He Hongxin barely squeezed out a smile: "I still have to worry about Miss Ziyan......"
"What's the matter? Your Excellency, please tell me ......," Ziyan asked.
He Hongxin pointed to the booklet on the table and said, "I also bother the girl to record the changes in the old man's condition so that the dosage can be corrected......"
Ziyan nodded, and was just about to get up to get the booklet, when he saw He Hongxin's face change abruptly, and he suddenly turned over and a mouthful of black blood spurted out, splashing all over the ground, Ziyan was frightened, and hurriedly went to help He Hongxin, only to see that his face was pale, and he couldn't stop pointing to a bag of things on the table: "Give ...... Give me ......."
"Oh......" Ziyan grabbed the medicine bag and stuffed it to He Hongxin, he panicked and grabbed the medicine from it and stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it, Ziyan was at a loss, and even forgot to call for help. Wait until he finishes a packet of herbs. The situation improved a little, and he couldn't stop sighing: "The old man is too careless......
"How's Lord Ho? It's all right, is it? Ziyan asked worriedly, He Hongxin shook his head, seemed to be very dissatisfied with his antidote, and lay back on the soft couch and closed his eyes. Ziyan was very anxious, she didn't understand medical science at all, she couldn't figure out what the situation was, and she was helpless. I had to leave the two in the house and go out to find He Qishan.
At this time, He Qishan was sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard in a daze, and when Ziyan saw this, she rushed forward and asked, "Lord He, do you still have time to be in a daze here?" Your father tried to test the medicine. Now that fate hangs by a thread, it's all at this time. Wouldn't you want to go in and see him? ”
He Qishan raised his head and said coldly: "Test the medicine...... He has never looked at the feelings of others. Calling the shots on his own, self-righteous, and now the way he is doing it is his own ......"
"How can you talk like that, he is your father after all! It was Ruo'an's sister who tried the medicine, but in order to save his sister, he took it on his own. Do you still want to say that about him? He has suffered in prison for so many years, don't you feel distressed at all? Ziyan asked angrily. But He Qishan's answer surprised her.
"Suffering...... What is the bitterness of being in prison, even if he dies, it will not be worth the mistakes he made! He Qishan's attitude made Ziyan unbearable, and Ziyan pulled him up from the stool by the collar. Pointing to the door of the room, he said, "Open your eyes and look, there is your father, the father who gave birth to you and raised you!" Even if he is not, he should be able to resolve this situation now, he personally tested the medicine for His Royal Highness, and if he didn't get it, he would die, are you really so forbearing, don't even accompany him in the last time? Let him die alone? So you're satisfied? ”
He Qishan shook off Ziyan's hand, turned around and didn't look in that direction, and choked up: "He already owes His Highness, and it is natural to test the medicine for him this time, if it weren't for His Highness, how could he have survived for so many years!" ”
"Do you know about His Highness Lu Dao saving him?" Ziyan asked curiously.
He Qishan said after half a sound: "That's right, I always knew that he didn't die......"
"What? You've always known it! So you haven't visited him in prison once in all these years? Ziyan's eyes widened, and He Qishan replied coldly: "Why should I go to visit him, he is already a 'dead' person......"
"How can you be so cruel? I always thought that you were so indifferent to the people and things around you because of the shadow of your father's early death, but I didn't expect you to be a cold person in your bones! After so many years of living alone in prison and fending for himself, have you ever fulfilled your obligation to be a son? ”
"Shut up!" He Qishan was furious, turned around and grabbed Ziyan, Ziyan opened her mouth wide in shock, and looked at He Qishan in horror, only to see his eyes wide, and the tears in his eyes flickered...... Ziyan's heart tightened, he cried?
"You keep saying that I am callous, that I have not fulfilled my duty as a son of man, but what about him? Did he fulfill his responsibilities as a father for a day? He doesn't have our family in his heart at all, and after so many years, he still keeps that secret and refuses to tell it! Still loyally protecting that mastermind! Even if he wants to sit through the prison, he has no regrets! His Highness shouldn't have saved him at all, and a lackey like him shouldn't have lived! ”
"Smack!" A loud slap slapped He Qishan in the face, Ziyan gasped and clenched her fists: "I'm so disappointed in you...... As a healer, you can say such things to your father, even if he is wrong in all ways, he is always your father, and you always have his blood in your veins! ”
"You know what! I don't have such a father at all! If it weren't for him, my mother wouldn't have died of grief! He made a good family ruined, and his wife was separated, I hate to kill him with my own hands, and you still want me to honor him? He Qishan said lightly, his tone full of contempt.
Ziyan didn't know that there were so many twists and turns in it, and her heart softened, she approached and took He Qishan's hand and said: "Even so, it's already in the past, if you are angry, your aunt won't be able to come back, but now, your biological father is lying inside, he doesn't have much time, His Royal Highness's life is tied to your father's life, and they are all in your hands, whether you want to save them or not, you have the final say, even if you hate him again." You can't change the fact that he's your only relative......"
He Qishan's body shook a little, holding back tears to prevent it from dripping, but his hands couldn't stop shaking, Ziyan knew that his heart was fighting fiercely, and he couldn't help but increase the strength of his hand and said: "Go and see, this may really be the last time your father and son meet, don't forget, the doctor is benevolent......"
He Qishan rubbed his eyes, calmed down his emotions, and asked half-loudly, "What is the prescription he dispenses?" How much did he take? As soon as I heard this. Ziyan was overjoyed: "Are you willing to go in and see him?" ”
He Qishan nodded reluctantly: "I can't let him lose the chance to save His Highness......
"Hmm!" Zi Yan nodded, no matter what the reason was, as long as he was willing to go in, it would be a good start. Ziyan excitedly took his hand and brought him back into the room.
The door opened. Both were taken aback. He Hongxin was lying on the soft couch, and there was a bunch of yellow-green things on the ground, which was exuding a burst of sour and rotten smell, Ziyan didn't care about choking, and hurriedly ran over, trying to turn his body over. But he was stopped by He Qishan, he stretched out his hand to take the pulse, his eyebrows were furrowed, and he hurriedly looked at the prescriptions and herbs on the table. Inadvertently caught a glimpse of the arrow on the table, his heart sank, and he turned to Ziyan and asked, "This arrow is clearly on my table, why did you get here in a blink of an eye?" Did you take it right? ”
"I ......" Ziyan didn't know how to answer, He Qishan smiled bitterly: "I thought you were the person who knew me best in this world and wouldn't deceive me, but I didn't expect that in the end it would be empty joy, and you would hide it from ......me like this."
"No...... You listen to my explanation......" Ziyan almost wanted to defend, but He Qishan shook his head, turned around and walked towards Ruo'an, and only said coldly after checking the pulse to make sure that it was okay: "You take Ruo'an away, it will only hinder me in this way, I will use him to test the medicine......" He Qishan said and pointed to He Hongxin, who was sleeping on the side, Ziyan was powerless to refute, so she had to help the unconscious Ruo'an out of the room.
The door was slammed shut, Ziyan's heart was extremely desolate, she thought that she was getting closer to He Qishan, but she didn't expect it to be self-defeating, but it became a stalemate......
He Qishan put He Hongxin on the bed, sat aside and flipped through the booklet, He Hongxin woke up with a few coughs, and saw He Qishan sitting beside him, tears of excitement in his eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Qishan ......"
He Qishan didn't even raise his head, and said coldly: "Are you confused in prison?" I don't know if the primrose can't be taken raw? ”
He Hongxin smiled awkwardly: "I want to fight poison with poison...... I didn't think that the amount was not well mastered, and I took a little too much......"
"That's the recipe you made?" He Qishan raised the paper in his hand, and He Hongxin nodded: "According to my feelings, I should add another Chuan Dan to disperse into it......"
"Nonsense! Chuandansan is an extremely cold medicine, and the medicine can only stimulate the toxin! What is the difference between adding this flavor to medicine and committing suicide by taking poison! He Qishan reprimanded, but He Hongxin smiled: "Believe the old man once......"
"Believe you? Let's go in the next life! He Qishan said and turned his head to study the prescription, no longer paying attention to He Hongxin, the scene immediately became embarrassing, He Hongxin looked at He Qishan's back and asked softly: "After so many years, are you doing well?" ”
He Qishan ignored him, he didn't hear it, and He Hongxin, who was rejected, was not angry and still asked unrelentingly: "How is the family?" Is your mother well? She has a bad windpipe and should be more ...... weather like this."
"Shut up!" He Qishan turned around and roared, rushed to He Hongxin's bed and pointed at him and scolded: "You are not qualified to mention my mother!" ”
"Qishan, I know that I owe you mother and son for so many years, I ......" He Hongxin said with a choked voice.
"What's the use of talking about this now, thanks to you, my mother fell ill a few days after you were imprisoned, and when she heard the news of your death, she was even more furious, and she died on the same day, how did she know that you would survive to this day?"
"Your mother, she ......" He Hongxin's mood collapsed in an instant, and the old tears were rampant.
He Qishan said coldly: "Don't pretend to be pitiful anymore, it's useless, this family has long been ruined by you...... If you can confess the mastermind, my mother will not die, and I will not be such a lonely person! ”
"Qishan ......" He Hongxin whimpered and sobbed, He Qishan turned around and ignored it, for this man, He Qishan was not only angry in his heart, but all that was left was hatred...... (To be continued......)
