Chapter 230: Dying Old Man

Zhang Cen was shocked when he heard the little eunuch's advice, his hands trembled slightly, and his tiredness disappeared, so he waved his hand to let the little eunuch retreat first.

Some family members outside the door saw that the door was pushed open, and the little eunuchs also retreated, and Liu Xingyuan and Liu Xingzhi also stepped forward and asked anxiously in a low voice: "How is my father?" ”

Zhang Cen looked helpless, frowning and motioning for them to wait outside first.

Liu Xingzhi secretly took out a gold leaf from his arms, forced it into Zhang Cen's arms, and whispered: "I hope the chief manager can tell me in time if there is any situation!" It's not a tribute ......"

Zhang Cen pretended to be embarrassed, but he didn't refuse, and said sincerely: "Childe is polite, it should be." You asked the family members in the house to be quiet outside, Your Majesty is sleepy now. Then he closed the door of his house and went into the house.

When the sunlight shone into the house and reflected on Emperor Han's face, Emperor Han's originally pale and wrinkled face gradually became a little rosy. Suddenly, the Han Emperor was half-asleep and half-awake, only to feel a slight heat on his face, so he woke up from the dream with a thrill. Emperor Han looked around a little dazedly, and then looked at his son Liu Xun lying on the couch, and his face turned pale again.

Zhang Cen bowed in fear, "Your Majesty! ”

Emperor Han ignored it, stretched out his hands with pity, and asked coldly while gently brushing his son's face: "Zhang Cen, when is it now?" ”

Zhang Cen hurriedly replied, "It's already hour." ”

Emperor Han sighed again, looking at his son, but he couldn't do anything, he could condone what Liu Yan did recently, but only this incident made Emperor Han's heart ache, Liu Xun is his own flesh and blood after all, and he is also the uncle of his grandson Liu Yan!

Zhang Cen saw that the emperor was a little emotional, and he didn't dare to make a mistake, but he had to tell him, so he wanted to say something and stopped: "Your Majesty...... Next ......"

Emperor Han seemed to sense that Zhang Cen was a little abnormal, so he asked, "What's wrong?" Go ahead! ”

Zhang Cen said cautiously: "Someone came to report just now, the Queen Mother is ...... old man."

"What's wrong with the Queen Mother?" Emperor Han asked anxiously, for fear of any accidents.

"I'm sick!"

Emperor Han was much more relieved when he heard this, the Queen Mother was old after all, "Zhang Cen! I'll talk about it next time. Why did the Queen Mother suddenly fall ill? How's it going now? ”

"Someone came to tell me that the Queen Mother heard that King Ning was ......" Zhang Cen hesitated for a moment, "I was poisoned, so I fell ill, and now I have taken medicine and I have improved a little." ”

Emperor Han nodded slightly, "Hmm! When I'm done, I'll definitely visit her old man's house. ”

Zhang Cen frowned and hesitated for a long time, bowed deeply, and continued: "Your Majesty, it's still ...... One more thing. ”

Emperor Han was already a little impatient, "Say ......"

"Someone said...... General Jin Wuwei Deng Zhuo ......"

Emperor Han raised his eyes and glanced at Zhang Cen at this time, "How is Deng Zhuo?" ”

Zhang Cen's expression froze, "General Deng attacked the Lu Mansion at night and was killed!" ”

Emperor Han was surprised: "Lu Mansion? Which Lu Mansion? Instantly, he suddenly said, "Could it be Lu Zuo?" ”

"Exactly!"

Emperor Han lowered his head in amazement, his mind full of thoughts, "How could Deng Zhuo assassinate Lu Zuo?" Could it be him? It's ...... him."

Zhang Cen actually knew that Deng Zhuo was originally the prince's bodyguard, and it was precisely because of His Royal Highness the prince's promotion that he would become the general of Jin Wuwei, so Deng Zhuo's assassination, if it wasn't for the prince's instructions, then he had no reason to assassinate Lu Zuo, and now that Deng Zhuo was killed, the matter was revealed, and the first person to be suspected was naturally the prince. Zhang Cen saw that the emperor was sinking like water, and he didn't dare to ask again.

Emperor Han bowed his head and muttered for a long time, and then looked at his son lying motionless on the couch, the emotions in his heart surged, and different expressions appeared on his face from time to time, including helplessness, sentimentality, lamentation, anger, and even despair, his black hair seemed to have added a lot of silver threads overnight, and his white sideburns and gray beard shook with his thoughts from time to time. Looking up at the sunlight shining outside the window, the chill seemed to ripple in the light, he slowly stood up, paced to the window, and then slowly closed the window with difficulty, muttering in his mouth: "This light...... It's so dazzling, the best thing to do is to ...... Close the windows. Then he turned around and put his hands behind his back and called coldly in a low voice, "Zhang Cen! ”

"The minions are here!"

"Is it early now?"

Zhang Cen was a rin again, "Ying...... It should be. ”

Emperor Han smiled bitterly and said, "What are you afraid of?" ”

"No ......" Zhang Cen buried his head deeply in a hurry, "No, the slave ......"

"That's it!" Emperor Han interrupted, "You go back to the palace immediately, let them all wait in the Xuanzheng Palace, without my order, no one is allowed to leave the Xuanzheng Palace for half a step, I will come to the court today." ”

"Command!"

Zhang Cen had anticipated the emperor's thoughts, and when he was about to leave, he was stopped by the emperor again.

"......Slow down" Emperor Han's face suddenly became solemn, and after pondering for a moment with his hands behind his back, he sat down at the round table in the hall again, and while tapping the table with his index finger, he thought about it, as if he was making a difficult decision, and said after a while: "Pass the decree, let Lu Zuo also enter the palace and wait." ”

"Yes!"

After Emperor Han finished instructing Zhang Cen, he sat back on the couch and stared at his son Liu Xun on the couch without saying a word.

I don't know how long the time has passed, and the family members who are standing in the courtyard waiting also can't hold it anymore. Liu Xingzhi also began to be anxious at this time, although it was only early spring, but he was already sweating profusely, looking at the sun on the clear sky, it was estimated that it was already time, but there was still no news in the house, looking at Zhang Cen's hurried look, it seemed that something was wrong, and his heart was on fire, and he saw a subordinate falling asleep under the eaves of the porch, so he kicked the subordinate to the ground, and the person "ouch", covered his waist and shouted.

Liu Xingzhi was so angry that he stepped forward and grabbed the man's collar, and slapped the next person in the face, while suppressing his voice: "Do you want to die?" The emperor is still in the house! ”

The man covered his waist with his left hand, rubbed his already bruised face with his right hand, and endured the pain with his mouth pursed.

Liu Xingzhi dissipated some of his anger at this time, pushed his subordinates with his hand, and paced back and forth in the courtyard again, seeing that the concubine was standing aside and did not speak, so he stepped forward and asked: "Mother, what the imperial doctor said yesterday is true or false, it's almost noon!" ”

Princess Ning had tears in her eyes, if King Ning really returned to heaven this time, then the pillars of the family would really collapse, so she choked up and said, "I'm just afraid...... I'm afraid it's hard to ...... my life," and before he could say that, he began to whimper.

"Hey......" Liu Xingzhi flicked the sleeves of his robe angrily and helplessly, and wanted to leave.

Liu Xingyuan saw that his younger brother wanted to go out, so he stopped: "Okay, the emperor hasn't ordered it yet, why do you want to leave?" ”
