Tai Chi Temple.

Chu Yi stood in the middle of the main hall, looking at his father who was leaning on the dragon chair and supporting his sleepy father with his hands.

It is obviously the twilight of spring, and the sultry weather in the capital has made people change into summer shirts in advance.

And his father, the emperor, was still wearing a dragon robe with cotton.

Chu Yi's always cold and solemn face was full of worry.

He took a few steps closer and whispered, "Father......"

The emperor was awakened by this sound and opened his eyes blankly.

When his gaze fell on Chu Yi's face, there was a moment of stunnedness.

"Oh, I'm asleep."

The emperor asked in a dumb voice, "Feng Shi, you just ...... What do you mean? ”

When Chu Yi saw him like this, the worry in his eyes was even worse.

He asked in a low voice: "Erchen is asking, after my father returned to Beijing thirty years ago, how did Li Weizhong detoxify his father according to the recipe left by Bai Xin?" Father's current cold illness can appear before the detoxification back then? ”

It was only a few words, and although Chu Yi had already quickened the speed of his speech, the emperor had already half-closed his eyelids again.

"Father?" Chu Yi took a few steps closer and called softly.

The emperor barely opened his tired sleepy eyes: "Oh, that's what you're asking......"

He seemed to be trying to remember, but his eyelids couldn't help but droop.

Chu Yi is about to call again-

"They used the blood of the Bai family's descendants...... "The emperor muttered as if he was sleeping...... Detoxified...... Zhang Sichun once said...... The recipe is not quite right...... And he took ......"

The voice is intermittent, as if he will fall asleep at any moment.

"Isn't the recipe right?"

Chu Yi keenly grasped the key point and hurriedly asked, "Is Bai Xin's recipe wrong, or is Li Weizhong's recipe wrong?" ”

This time, however, in response to his-

But it was the emperor's sleeping snoring.

"Your Highness."

Zhou Jinxi bowed forward and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty will take a break for an hour or two at this hour every day, why don't you wait for Your Majesty to wake up, and the slave will call you again?" ”

Chu Yi looked at his father's tired but quiet sleeping face, even though he had all kinds of doubts in his heart, he couldn't bear to wake him up again.

He stepped forward, gently carried the emperor to the bed, covered the quilt, and tucked the corners of the quilt.

"Today, this king is in the Tai Hospital, if my father wakes up later, you will send someone to call this king." He commanded in a deep voice.

Zhou Jinxi bowed and said yes.

Chu Yi turned around and was about to leave.

Suddenly, as if he thought of something, he paused and looked at Zhou Jinxi: "You also heard what King Fang asked his father, do you know the truth?" ”

Zhou Jinxi smiled at him.

"Your Royal Highness forgot, the emperor has been a prince since he was a child, and when he went to the Yaowang Valley with the emperor, he was also poisoned, and he went there soon after he came back, and the slave maid also came to the Taiji Hall later."

Chu Yijian frowned slightly: "Where did you transfer it back then?" ”

"The slave maid was originally serving in the queen's palace, when the queen mother was just pregnant with His Royal Highness the prince, the fetus was unstable, and she needed to rest in bed, so she sent the slave maid to serve in the Taiji Palace. The emperor saw that the slave maid was clever, so he left the slave maid in the Taiji Palace. Zhou Jin replied with a smile.

When Chu Yi heard this, he stopped talking, turned around and walked towards the outside of the hall.

He had just walked out of the temple gate—

I saw the queen mother's guard of honor slowly walking up the steps.

Chu Yi knew that these days, the emperor's grandmother would come to visit his father in the Taiji Hall every day.

He stood at the door with his hands down, and when the queen mother walked to the door of the palace, he stepped forward to salute: "Grandson greets the imperial grandmother." ”

When the Queen Mother saw him, her slightly dim eyes were not as loving as usual, but a little fierce.

"Aren't you investigating the case, how can you have time to come to the Taiji Palace?"

Chu Yifeng's eyes drooped slightly: "First, I came to visit my father, and second, I came to ...... The grandson found out some old things and wanted to ask his father. ”

When the Queen Mother heard the words "old things", her brows frowned invisibly.

"Oh?" She asked lightly: "The emperor has been in a little bad spirit these days, but he has the energy to solve your doubts?" ”

Chu Yi's eyebrows didn't move: "I said something, I fell asleep at this time." ”

"Hmm." The Queen Mother waved her hand at him: "Go and get busy, go and see the emperor in mourning." ”

After saying this, she held Father-in-law Tang's hand, crossed the threshold, and entered the Taiji Hall.

Chu Yi raised his eyes and looked at her back.

Because he was worried about what his father said, he urgently needed to find Twilight and seek verification.

He took a few breaths and strode down the steps, hurrying towards the Tai Hospital.

The Queen Mother helped Gonggong Tang to the middle of the hall, as if she inadvertently turned sideways, caught a glimpse of Chu Yi's figure, and disappeared at the door of the main hall.

Only then did she let go of her hand and ordered lightly: "You go outside to guard, the mourning family will recite the Heart Sutra for the emperor, and the idle people must not be disturbed." ”

When Gonggong Tang heard this, he was ordered to bow down and retreat.

Because the emperor was sick, he was the most disgusting, and when Gonggong Tang left, only the Queen Mother and Zhou Jinxi were left in the entire hall.

Zhou Jinxi bowed down and walked to the Queen Mother's side, like Father-in-law Tang, raising his hand to support the Queen Mother.

"Niangniang, His Royal Highness asked the emperor about the detoxification thirty years ago, and the emperor was not in good spirits, so he said something about it." He whispered.

The Queen Mother looked at the sleeping emperor lying on the bed, her eyes narrowed slightly.

"Oh? What did you say? She asked.

Zhou Jinxi attached it to the Queen Mother's ear and repeated the conversation between Emperor Fang Cai and King Yi in a low voice.

The Queen Mother frowned deeply, and a fierce color flashed in her eyes.

Immediately, her countenance regained its former solemnity and kindness.

"Thirty years ago, or today...... It's all trifles. ”

After she said this indifferently, she let go of Zhou Jinxi's hand, took out a string of black and heavy Buddhist beads from her wrist, walked to the emperor's bed, and sat down.

"Go and burn the incense of the Buddha, and the mourning family will chant for the emperor." The Queen Mother commanded.

Zhou Jinxi bowed and said yes.

Hurriedly walked to the side of the main hall, took out an incense pill from the incense box under the case, came back steadily, and threw it into the smoker closest to the emperor's bed.

Just in a moment, a faint sandalwood rose from the Suzaku smoker.

The Queen Mother looked at the emperor's sleeping face, and a hint of hesitation flashed on her face-

It's just that then, thinking of what has happened in the past two days, her face finally flashed with a touch of determination.

She lightly grabbed the emperor's hand, put the black and heavy Buddhist beads in her hand into the emperor's palm, and closed his palm.

"Sleep well, get some sleep, and everything will be fine."

After she finished muttering this, she closed her eyes, took out a string of black Buddha beads from her sleeve, and recited the Guanyin Heart Sutra in the curling Buddha incense......

And the moment she closed her eyes, the emperor's eyelids were closed peacefully, and they were faintly visible...... Moved.

In this room, Shen Shu was accompanied by Huai'an, followed by Duihe.

Under the unfriendly gaze of the imperial doctors, the group of three walked out of the imperial hospital as if no one was around.

They had just turned the vermilion façade of the Tai Hospital—

I saw Chu Yi's face solemn, and he hurriedly walked over from a distance......
