Chapter 132: The Turmoil in Lichu
Seeing this, the emperor was comforted, he was full of smiles, and followed Xuanyuan Qi with gentle eyes.
"Qi'er, if you are so careful, you will become a great tool in the future!"
Something big!
Is this a hint at him?
Xuanyuan Qi's heart was excited, the hand holding on the medicine bowl trembled slightly, and the white powder between his fingers loomed.
Does he still want to continue to add this chronic poison and medicine to his father!
Xuanyuan Qi's eyes were a little tangled, and he struggled in his heart, but in a moment, he was cold-hearted.
I saw his fingers sweep over the medicine bowl, his fingers slightly opened, and some fine powder floated into the decoction.
The ink-black liquid instantly swallowed the white powder, and soon regained its ink color.
Xuanyuan Hao narrowed the corners of his eyes, his pupils slowly contracted, and he gritted his teeth and shook the medicine bowl twice with his hand, so that the poison was completely dissolved.
It is to take advantage of his father's praise for him now, so as to ensure that the position of the prince is passed on to him without fail.
Xuanyuan Qi stabilized his mind, changed his face to worry, slowly stirred the decoction, and brought it to the side of the bed.
"Father, the medicine should not be hot now, you can drink it quickly, so that you can recover soon."
The emperor nodded again and again, excited, and leaned forward to reach out to take the medicine bowl.
"Well, it's rare for Qi'er to have this filial piety, and I'm very pleased to have your son!"
Xuanyuan Qi held the medicine bowl and flickered by, and the medicine bowl brushed his fingers with the emperor's raised hand.
"Father, rest, let the son serve you and drink the medicine! It can be regarded as a filial piety of the sons. ”
The emperor was stunned for a moment, and then immediately smiled, his deep-set eyes full of relief.
"Okay, well, let's talk about father and son now, regardless of the monarch and minister."
Father and son?
Born in the family of the emperor, he is destined to have no father-son affection!
Xuanyuan Qi secretly sneered, but there was a obedient look on his face, he nodded, "Son, obey the will of my father!" ”
"Huh? Return to the father? ”
Xuanyuan Qi immediately understood, and he hurriedly changed his words: "It's all up to my father." ”
The Emperor nodded with satisfaction, and the corners of his wrinkled eyes curled up with pleasure.
"That's good!"
Xuanyuan Qi also laughed with him, his hands were not idle, and when the emperor was happy, he filled a tablespoon of potion and sent it to the emperor's mouth.
"Father, hurry up and drink the medicine, when it gets cold, it will affect the effect of the medicine."
Hearing this, the emperor smiled and nodded, opened his mouth and drank the decoction.
One mouthful, two sips, and soon the medicine bowl bottomed out, leaving only some medicine residue.
While the emperor was not paying attention, he poured the medicine residue into a hand towel and quickly wrapped it and stuffed it into his sleeve.
Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, he slowly put the medicine bowl on the table next to the bedside, and got up to support the emperor's arm.
"Father, lie down and rest!"
As he spoke, he dragged the emperor's back with one hand and the emperor's arm with the other, and slowly let him lie down.
Xuanyuan Qi carefully helped the emperor wipe the medicine stains on the corners of his mouth, and tucked the corners of the quilt covering the emperor's chest.
"Father, it's cold today, you have to take care of the dragon's body, there are still many things waiting for you to preside over the overall situation!"
Xuanyuan Qi looked worried, and deliberately pulled the topic to the political affairs of the previous dynasty.
He just wanted to see what this old thing was thinking, and he had to prepare early.
The Emperor lay on his back, his eyes cloudy and deep, and he let out a long sigh.
"Alas...... My body, I know it in my heart, and I'm afraid that this matter of the previous dynasty is already more than enough but not enough. ”
Xuanyuan Qi also became sad, but his tone was slightly eager.
"Father, why don't you decide the prince early, so that you can share your worries and solve problems for your father!"
Hearing this, the emperor's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at Xuanyuan Qi meaningfully, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
Xuanyuan Qi immediately panicked, his face suddenly turned pale, and his face twitched twice unnaturally.
"Father, the son has no other meaning, just worried that his father will work hard day and night, and his body will not be able to bear it! If someone helps his father share his worries, his father will not work so hard. ”
He must not make a mistake at this juncture, otherwise all his efforts will be in vain!
Xuanyuan Qi looked at the emperor nervously, fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and the hands in his sleeves turned white, and his face was uneasy.
"Hahaha......"
Suddenly, the emperor raised his eyebrows and smiled, and the atmosphere relaxed suddenly.
"Qi'er, don't be nervous, Father knows your intentions," he said, reaching out from the quilt to hold Xuanyuan Qi's hand, "I wonder what Qi'er thinks about the position of the crown prince?" ”
What does he think?
Is his father testing whether he covets the crown prince?
He must not let his father see his thoughts!
With a pop, Xuanyuan Qi immediately knelt in front of the bed and lay nervously on the side of the bed.
"Father Mingjian, the son has no intention of coveting the position of the prince!"
The Emperor patted the back of his hand and raised his palm, "Get up and speak, I don't blame you, I just want to ask your opinion." ”
A false alarm!
Xuanyuan Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then raised his eyes before his expression gradually returned to normal.
"Please forgive the sons, there is no selection criteria for the crown prince, as long as they can help their father, and they are diligent and love the people, the sons and daughters are willing to assist him."
Xuanyuan Qi deliberately didn't look at the emperor's eyes, looking like he had no idea about the position of the crown prince.
Seeing this, the emperor was even more pleased, and he had already concluded in his heart, "In this case, why don't you let Qi'er enter the position of the East Palace?" "Ivy
"Erchen?"
Xuanyuan Qi raised his eyes in astonishment, "How can Erchen do it?" Father is still another sage! ”
Xuanyuan Qi's face was nervous, and he refused again and again, but his heart was already happy.
But the emperor pressed his shoulders and praised him continuously.
"Qi'er, you are brave and strategic, diligent and love the people, and you are the best candidate for the crown prince."
"But with such a heavy task, I'm afraid my sons won't be able to do it."
Xuanyuan Qi raised his hand high, bowed respectfully, and the corners of his mouth were hooked high the moment he bowed his head.
He knew that the position of the prince belonged to him, he used to be the acting prince, but he had no name and no point, and now that he has established the position of the prince, he is justified!
Xuanyuan Qi was proud in his heart, and his heart was beating wildly.
The emperor smiled at the corner of his mouth, and looked at Xuanyuan Qi's eyes more and more fondly.
He is not arrogant or impatient, modest and cautious, he did not missee the wrong person, and he handed over the national social affairs to Qi'er, and he was also relieved.
The emperor cleared his voice, deliberately calming his face, his voice mixed with a hint of anger.
"Qi'er, are you unwilling to share my worries?"
"Erchen is terrified!"
Xuanyuan buried his head lower, but the corners of his mouth reached behind his ears, and the smile overflowed between his sleeves without any scruples.
The emperor raised his hand and pulled him up from the ground, and announced without a smile: "I have made a decision, Liqi'er is the crown prince of the East Palace, and the canonization ceremony will be held in three days." ”
Three days later?
He knew that the crown prince position must be him, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly!
Xuanyuan Qi immediately bowed his head firmly, and bowed his hand ninety degrees very respectfully.
"It's better to be respectful than to obey your orders, and you will definitely live up to your father's love!"
The emperor's tense face relaxed, his eyebrows and eyes were full of joy, and he pulled Xuanyuan Qi to gossip.
There is no impermeable wall in the world, and the matter of the establishment of the reserve is certain, and the news came out immediately.
Xuanyuan Hao, who had just left Fengyi Palace, walked in the bluestone palace, and the whispers of the palace maids came from his ears.
"Hey...... Have you heard? The emperor has just made a prince. ”
"What? The position of the East Palace has been decided? Who is it? ”
A palace maid hurriedly pulled another palace maid to a corner of the palace wall, looked left and right, and when she saw no one, she said excitedly: "Who else can it be, it is His Royal Highness King Qi, the son of the queen!" ”
Hearing this, the other palace maid covered her mouth in disbelief, frowning in disbelief.
"But for such a big matter, why didn't you listen to the edict from the Inner Court Division?"
"I guess it's on the way, I heard that the canonization ceremony will be held in three days!"
The conversation between the two happened to be heard by Xuanyuan Hao on the other side of the palace wall.
He half-squinted, without saying a word, and raised his eyes to look at the black oppressive sky.
Canonized three days later, what an irony!
is also a prince, but the treatment is worlds apart, and the emperors are really ruthless.
From childhood to adulthood, no matter how he behaved, his father would always only have Xuanyuan Qi in his eyes, and now he even wants to give him the position of crown prince, which is so partial.
Xuanyuan Hao shook his head with a sneer, and the brocade box in his hand clenched tighter.
After the two palace maids dispersed, Xuanyuan Hao walked towards the palace gate.
As soon as she left the palace, Concubine Hu cried pear blossoms with rain, and as soon as she saw Xuanyuan Hao come out, she immediately pounced.
"Lord Wang, you can be regarded as coming out, worried about the death of the concubine."
Xuanyuan Hao raised his eyebrows, slightly stunned, "Why are you still here, didn't this king let people send you home?" ”
Concubine Hu looked aggrieved, and her thin body leaned on Xuanyuan Hao's arms, twitching and twitching.
"Lord Wang, the concubine is worried about you! Today, the concubine saw that those ministers were embarrassed by you, and her heart hung in the air, so the concubine did not return to the house, waiting for you here. ”
Xuanyuan Hao glanced at the ministers who left the palace one after another after the scattered dynasty, and sneered in his heart.
If they can embarrass him, then they really have some ability!
Xuanyuan Hao hooked the corners of his lips, deliberately stroked Concubine Hu's back, and grabbed Concubine Hu's little hand and pressed it on his chest.
"Let the concubine worry, is it the king's."
"Lord Wang, are you really okay?"
Concubine Hu worriedly examined Xuanyuan Hao's body.
Seeing this, Xuanyuan Hao stretched out his hands and deliberately pulled his clothes.
"Concubine, don't be sad, didn't this king come out well?"
He turned around, and caught a glimpse of a palace man dressed as a eunuch at the palace gate secretly watching him.
really didn't let go at all, he was already designated as the prince, and he was so wary of him!
Xuanyuan Hao sneered, hooked the corners of his lips, and hugged Concubine Hu into his arms.
"Concubine Ai, it's windy here, let's go home!"
As he spoke, he put his arms around Concubine Hu's slender waist, lifted the curtain of the carriage, and got into the carriage.
Lowering the car curtain, Xuanyuan Hao immediately sat up straight, and his eyes instantly became cold and detached.
He pushed aside the concubine Hu who was attached to him, and his face was gloomy and he didn't say a word.
Concubine Hu was a little unclear, she softened her body and wanted to lean into Xuanyuan Hao, and her voice was sweet and soft and coquettish towards Xuanyuan Hao.
"Lord ......"
As soon as the voice came out, Xuanyuan Hao turned his head violently, and his eyes skimmed towards Concubine Hu.
She immediately shuddered, frightened and frightened, and did not dare to speak again.
