Chapter 953: The Critically Ill Emperor
His pale face turned completely iron blue from the violent coughing and wheezing, and Xuan Kite covered his lips with a handkerchief, his chest rising and falling violently.
Chen Lin and Mo Wuxian were brought into the water pavilion at this time.
Xuan Kite waved his hand vigorously, motioned for the samurai to let go of them, removed the handkerchief, and said in a hoarse voice: "Sit!" ”
Chen Lin and Mo Wuxian glanced at each other and sat down in the opposite position from Xuan Kite.
Xuan Kite's gaze fell on Mo Wuji's body, and he said in a low voice: "The envoy came from afar, but he was so frightened, all of this is my mistake. ”
Mo Wuxian replied politely, "Your Majesty doesn't have to blame yourself, there are some things we don't want to let happen, maybe Heaven is reluctant to let our two countries conclude an alliance." "Ever since he heard the conversation between the eldest princess Xuan Siling and Adams, Mo Wuxian had already made up his mind that he would no longer ally with the Xuanwu Kingdom.
Xuan Kite didn't seem to feel any surprise, and said indifferently: "Yuan should be like this, after the envoy returns to Crystal City this time, I hope you can apologize to the empress on my behalf." ”
His attitude surprised Mo Wuxian instead.
While they were talking, Chen Lin disappeared and quietly observed Xuan Kite's face, and found that Xuan Kite's face was extremely pale, with a severely anemic appearance, and when he spoke, he obviously lacked strength, and secretly said in his heart: "Could it be that Xuan Kite is sick?" ”
Xuan Kite chatted with Mo Wuxian for a few sentences and said, "I don't delay the envoy to rest, there are just two sentences, I want to say to him alone." The person he was referring to was naturally Chen Lin.
Mo Wuxian nodded, got up and said goodbye to Xuan Kite.
Chen Lin and Xuanyuan looked at each other, and Chen Lin did not have the slightest good impression of Xuanyuan in his heart, if it weren't for him, Xuanwu Kingdom would not have fallen to this step.
Xuan Kite said in a low voice: "Is Xuan Bo okay?" ”
Chen Lin was stunned in his heart, and he couldn't imagine that the conversation between Xuan Yuan and himself would start like this.
Chen Lin nodded and said, "It's very good!" ”
"That's good!" A rare smile appeared on Xuan Yuan's pale face, and he began to cough again, and the white silk covered his lips for a long time before it subsided, and when he moved away, the white silk was already stained with a pool of blood. Xuan Kite whispered, "You should be able to tell that I'm seriously ill. ”
Chen Lin was silent, and said secretly in his heart: "This bastard doesn't want me to treat him, right?" ”
Xuan Kite said: "I'm just afraid that I won't be able to live...... His eyes revealed infinite sadness.
Chen Lin hesitated for a moment but walked towards him, and said in a low voice, "Can I check it for you?" ”
Xuan Yuan nodded, handed his wrist to Chen Lin, Chen Lin stretched out his finger on his vein, only to feel that the pulse was messy, obviously extremely ill, and his face immediately became grim.
Xuan Kite said: "Someone put chronic poison in my diet, and by the time I found out, it was too late. ”
Chen Lin sighed and said, "As long as it's poison, there should be a way to save it." ”
Xuan Yuan smiled bitterly: "This time is different, I can feel that it is difficult for me to escape this catastrophe." ”
Chen Lin said in a low voice: "Does the prince want me to help you?" He still called the kite the same way it used to be.
Xuan Yuan shook his head: "I understand your kindness, I'm afraid you can't do anything this time." ”
Chen Lin knew that what he said was indeed the truth, and he was not good at detoxification, not to mention that he didn't know anything about the toxicity in the body of the Xuan Kite, so he had no idea where to start.
Xuan Yuan said: "As the saying goes, people are good at their words, and I have realized a lot of things now." He stood up, walked slowly to the west window, looked into the distance, and said, "I adored my father, and I had hoped that one day, I would be a leader like him...... But today I realized that I could not ...... like him" tears blurred his eyes.
Chen Lin's disgust for him at this time suddenly turned into a kind of sympathy.
Xuan Yuan said: "My father's decision to hand over the throne to Xuan Bo is undoubtedly a huge blow to me, I can't understand this matter, and I even want to do whatever it takes to prove my ability." ”
Chen Lin said in a low voice: "Have you ever thought that Xuan Bo never wanted to compete with you for the throne, why she kept concealing the secret edict, it was all because she wanted to preserve your brother and sister relationship." ”
Xuan Yuan nodded: "It's a pity that it's too late for me to understand, Adams colluded with the eldest princess and wanted to steal my Xuan clan's inheritance, Sima Tai supported me on the surface, but behind the scenes, he quietly developed his own power, and the whole kingdom was already scattered." ”
Chen Lin suddenly discovered that Xuan Kite was not useless, he was very clear about the situation of the empire and the environment he was currently in.
Xuan Kite sneered: "They thought I was in the dark and wanted to use me, but in fact, I had already seen through their wolf ambitions. Pity...... Heaven did not give me a chance. ”
Chen Lin nodded and said, "Sometimes it is true that people are not as good as heaven. ”
Xuan Kite said in a low voice: "Although Adams is a dragon knight, he is not the most terrifying in the empire. ”
Chen Lin was slightly stunned, and subconsciously took a step towards Xuan Kite.
Xuan Kite said: "The really terrifying person is Sima Tai, after I ascended the throne, he used my trust to rapidly develop his own power, and now the court has been full of his minions, Adams and the eldest princess are supporters of the alliance with the Sea Clan, they want to use the power of the Sea Clan to eradicate the power of Cloud Piercing City, and then replace my position." No matter what their purpose was, in the end, they still hoped that the Xuanwu Kingdom would enter a pattern of reunification and pacification as soon as possible. ”
Xuanyuan changed his words: "Sima Tai is completely different, he doesn't want the alliance between the Sea Clan and the Empire to succeed at all, his purpose is to let the Xuanwu Empire continue to be consumed in the civil war." The assassination of Pu Longqi on the way was also eighty percent of his doing. ”
Chen Lin couldn't help but say: "What good is this kind of thing that harms others and himself?" ”
Xuan Kite said in a low voice: "I suspect that he is the most mysterious dragon knight in the empire, and he is most likely a subordinate of the Demon Emperor Qiu Chan......"
Chen Lin gasped, the internal affairs of the Xuanwu Kingdom were far more complicated than he imagined. If everything is really like what Xuan Kite said, the power of the Demon Emperor Qiu Chan is really terrifying to the extreme.
Xuan Kite said: "Although I am stupid, I don't want the inheritance of my ancestors to be destroyed in my hands, I don't want to face my father shamelessly under the spring, and I don't want to be a sinner of the entire empire!" His tears flowed silently, and the remorse in his heart was revealed for the first time in front of outsiders.
Chen Lin nodded movingly, the reason why Xuanbo would tell everything in his heart to himself was to let himself relay his words to Xuanbo, Chen Lin said: "I think Princess Xuanbo knows all this, and she will definitely not blame you anymore." ”
Xuan Kite turned her head and smiled miserably: "I tell you this, I don't want to get my sister-in-law's forgiveness through you, I don't have a long life, I just hope that my sister can keep the inheritance of our ancestors, and in my lifetime, I will do my best to help her." ”
Chen Lin said: "The envoy and I happened to hear the conversation between the eldest princess and General Adams, but I am afraid that they can't wait for your throne. ”
Xuan Yuan sneered, "In their eyes, I have always been just a puppet. ”
Chen Lin secretly said in his heart: "Why don't you taste it? ”
