Emperor Showa understood the meaning of the imperial doctor's words, because he knew best how bad his physical condition had been at this time.

Looking at the Imperial Doctor's very uneasy eyes, Emperor Showa hooked an indifferent smile on the corner of his mouth: "I know that you have done your best, and I also know your difficulties, rest assured, I will help you talk to the prince, and he will not let him really blame you." ”

The imperial doctor hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, saying things like he didn't dare, but he was greatly relieved in his heart.

Emperor Showa's body lost too much when he was young, and he had been secretly taking poison all these years, so he had already tossed his already loss-making body even weaker; Right now, even if Hua Tuo came to recondition him while he was alive, he was just trying his best to delay his life; What's more, Emperor Showa is still a disobedient patient, he can support himself with this dilapidated body until now, on the one hand, the imperial doctor has really done his best, and on the other hand, Emperor Showa has a tenacious heart and has always relied on tenacious perseverance to support.

However, no matter how tenacious the perseverance is, it can't escape the black and white impermanence that comes to ask for your life; The Imperial Physician quietly raised his head and looked at Emperor Showa, he was really worried that Emperor Showa would suddenly die one day without warning at all.

Just when the imperial doctor was worried, and his mind was racing about what kind of prescription to change for Emperor Showa to prolong his life, the palace people waiting outside the door bowed and walked in quickly, knelt down and replied: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down." ”

This is the first time since Zhao Ling left the palace last time he came to see Emperor Showa; And Emperor Showa heard the report of the palace people, his drooping eyebrows and eyes moved slightly upward, and he subconsciously looked at Song Yang, who was loyal to his side.

And Song Yang knew best what the prince came for at this time, thinking of the father-son dispute that would happen in the Tai'an Palace later, he asked the palace people to take the imperial doctor down, and walked to the dark place in the palace by himself, like an eagle falcon in the night, staring sharply at the door of the palace, silently guarding Emperor Showa's side.

And Emperor Showa looked at Song Yang, who was more obedient and controllable than Xiao Gang, with satisfaction, a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, raised his voice, and said, "Prince Xuan is here." ”

Zhao Ling, who was waiting outside the Tai'an Palace, heard the voice coming from the hall, turned his head slightly to look at Yunxiao who was following behind him, and said, "You stay here, don't let anyone in to disturb me and my father, and no matter what movement you hear in the hall, you don't have to go in." ”

Yunxiao was still a little worried, and couldn't help but speak: "Your Highness, do you want to bring Jingwei in?" ”

Zhao Ling shook his head slowly, a sneer escaped from the corner of his mouth, and the long sword he held in his hand was firmly held in his palm: "No need, this is the palace, if my father and I really want to do something, a few Jingwei can't change the result; Don't worry, I won't be as stupid as before, deceived by the father-son affection he showed, and those who have received a painful lesson once don't want to suffer a second time. ”

After speaking, Zhao Ling strode into the main hall, leaving a cautious and vigilant cloud, and guarded the gate of Tai'an Palace with a vigilant face.

Xu is because he has just taken ginseng soup, Emperor Showa at this time has a very good complexion, his face is ruddy and fair, and he looks like he still has a bit of spirit, it is really hard to believe that such a man with a good face is already on the road to death.

Hearing the familiar sound of footsteps coming from far and near, Emperor Showa raised his head with a smile and looked lovingly at Aiko, who was standing a few steps away from him.

Just like the ordinary father-son relationship of ordinary people, he took the initiative to talk to his son: "I knew that the palace couldn't trap you, but I didn't expect your hands and feet to be so fast, and your ability was big enough, and this huge palace couldn't keep you overnight." ”

Zhao Ling looked at the loving smile on Emperor Showa's face at this time, he used to be very greedy for this smile, but now, as long as he thought that under this smile, he was hiding a hypocritical and selfish face, he couldn't bear to look at it directly.

Zhao Ling replied coldly: "Erchen has such a great ability, and thanks to his father's teaching over the years, he has not disappointed his father. ”

Emperor Showa was obviously in a good mood, even if he heard the sarcasm in Zhao Ling's words, he didn't care about him in general, but laughed a few times and continued: "Yes! Of my nine sons, you are the one who has never disappointed me; When you were young, you read the fastest books, and the martial arts were the most satisfying to the masters, and even the performance of being thrown on the battlefield by me was impressive to countless people. Ling'er, you are my most outstanding son, and I am also the proudest existence in my life, I don't care what the world thinks of me, as long as I watch you become the best emperor, ruling the world and being rich in the world, I can turn a blind eye even if I die. ”

What a sincere wish for Jackie Chan's words, almost anyone who hears this can give birth to the idea that Emperor Showa is a loving father; But when these words were heard in Zhao Ling's ears at this time, they were extremely selfish and harsh.

He always knew that his father had high hopes for him, otherwise he would not have set up so many trials and tribulations on him at such a young age; He has a big life and good luck, every time he can break back from life and death, he once thought that he could save the day again and again, all of which are witnesses of his growing strength; But now, after knowing the whole truth, he realized that from the beginning, he was a marionette in the hands of his biological father.

When he was young, his father wanted to avenge his mother and concubine, and he wanted to vent his anger for himself, in order to coax the Jiang family to abolish the queen Jiang, he threw his own son aside and ignored it, saying that it was a grinding for him, but in fact, he just watched him struggling in the sinister harem and the calculation of the people's hearts; When he grew up, he returned to the capital from the border, entered the court, formed a confrontation with the eldest brother, and became a thorn in the side of the Jiang family; All of this was arranged by his good father behind his back.

He wants to make the Jiang family unpeaceful, he wants to torture the selfish and domineering Jiang family little by little, and he wants to avenge the woman he likes and himself; Therefore, he dragged his son into the water with him, and swept him into the whirlpool that could kill people at any moment.

These, he does not blame, who made them father and son, who let the man in front of him give him life; He has always wanted to be an obedient and filial son, as long as his biological father gives him an order, he can give everything he has at any time.

However, he shouldn't touch his woman, shouldn't dictate to his life in the back house, and shouldn't do anything to hurt him and Yue'er in the name of father's love.

So right now, seeing Emperor Showa showing a proud look of looking at his son's great achievements and honor, Zhao Ling's face became colder and colder, and even his voice became deeper and deeper: "Since my father talked about his son's childhood, the minister also talked about the things of the year; Since the son has remembered, he has never seen his biological mother, and the harem was controlled by the abolished queen at that time, even if he heard the news about his biological mother, he was maliciously slandered after the abolition; Erchen wants to ask his father, you must have heard a lot of gossip about your mother in the palace back then, how did you feel at that time? Guilty? Distressed? Can't you get rid of Jiang's hatred quickly? ”

Yang Rui is the most colorful stroke of Emperor Showa's life in the past few decades, and it is also the one who worries him the most among his countless women; Emperor Showa liked Concubine Yang, not only because of Concubine Yang's beauty, but also because of her gentle and delicate temperament, which also gave Emperor Showa a little comfort at the top of the tired emperor.

When Concubine Yang died, he was indeed heartbroken; But the most painful wounds will gradually heal with the passage of time, but after healing, there are other grievances between the chest cavity; At that time, even Emperor Showa himself couldn't tell whether he hated the abolished Jiang family because she controlled him as a puppet, or he hated her for selfishly hurting the woman he liked, and he became a real loner.

Now, hearing Zhao Ling's question, Emperor Showa was stunned for a moment, obviously this question made him not know how to answer.

He likes Concubine Yang, otherwise he wouldn't have kept her in his heart for so many years, but if he really loves to the bone marrow, then why did he know that Jiang Qiang was malicious and sad about the woman he loved, and why was he indifferent? Is it as simple as trying to get paid?

Emperor Showa was a little confused for a while, looked at Aiko who was standing a few steps away, opened his mouth, and didn't know how to answer him.

And Emperor Showa has this kind of expression, Zhao Ling is not surprised at all, he should have guessed a long time ago that the father and emperor in front of him may love him and like his mother, but in this world, his favorite will always be himself; He and Jiang Qiang simply belong to the same type of people, imposing their desires on others, regardless of the pain and torture suffered by others, just to achieve their own goals.

"Ling'er, my father knows that you feel uncomfortable losing the Chu family, but how can the Chu family compare to your mother? I just tested her a little, and she immediately left you and left, this kind of woman, what qualifications do you have to stay by your side and share these thousands of miles with you? ”

Emperor Showa coughed lightly a few times, wiped the uncontrollable saliva from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, and continued: "You asked me about your mother's concubine, which was beyond my expectations, but I also know why you have such a question; Ling Er, a manly man stands up to the sky, why can't you look away because of a woman? ”

Looking at Emperor Showa, who was still defending himself at this time, Zhao Ling was already disappointed in him: "Father, you said that it was Yue'er's son who abandoned him, and he left his son and abandoned his son; However, you should ask yourself, who is the person who forced her to make this decision?! ”
