Chapter 432: The Oil Runs Out and the Lamp Withers

"What! It's gone! ”

When Shen Ruoxiao heard the news, he stood up suddenly.

"How can you not see it? There won't be any danger! A bad feeling haunted her.

"Don't worry, I'll arrange for someone to find it!" Xuanyuan Hao's face was solemn, and the bottom of his eyes was obscure.

All of a sudden, the palace was discussing. The disappearance of Xuanyuan Ling undoubtedly made people have a little more conjecture in their hearts.

Xuanyuan Hao's brows were furrowed, his eyes were glaring ahead, and his hands were clenched into fists, clenched tightly together.

His chest was slightly tilted up and down, and he looked as if he had returned from hell as a Shura.

"What the hell is going on? A group of people can't even look at a little girl, what's the use of this king wanting you people? ”

Xuanyuan Hao flicked his sleeves, and the green tendons on his forehead instantly exploded.

The entire courtyard was suddenly silent, and Da Bai was so frightened that he stood motionless, his eyes glancing at Xuanyuan Hao's face from time to time, and he immediately dodged it.

Shen Ruoxiao helplessly pulled Da Bai over and touched her head.

"You first tell me why Ling'er didn't see you, and try to explain the situation as clearly as possible." Shen Ruoxiao looked at Da Bai softly and held her hand in the palm of her hand.

Da Bai eased his mind, his eyes were full of tears at some point, and he looked self-blaming and annoyed.

She bit her lip and took a deep breath after a moment, her gaze falling on Shen Ruoxiao's face.

"I was playing on the street with Ling'er, she was hungry and wanted to eat a roadside snack, so I went to buy it for her, and when I turned around, she was gone, and I couldn't find it!"

Da Bai cried aggrievedly, his round fleshy hands rubbing his eyes.

Shen Ruoxiao hurriedly patted Da Bai's back, raised his eyes and glanced at Xuanyuan Hao, signaling him to calm down first.

Xuanyuan Hao closed his eyes, then sighed, and returned to his previous complexion.

"Did you find anything suspicious?" Shen Ruoxiao frowned and asked, a little thought added to his eyes.

"Later, I went to ask the surrounding vendors, and they were all distracted, and when they saw me, they hid like a ghost, and I had no choice but to come back first." Da Bai choked up and said, pouting and looking at Shen Ruoxiao.

Shen Ruoxiao looked at Xuanyuan Hao, and the two looked at each other, and there seemed to be some conjecture in their hearts.

"Dabai, don't be in a hurry yet. Ling'er must have been captured by some powerful people, otherwise the vendors would not sit idly by, and the other party took Ling'er to deal with us, so it shouldn't hurt her for the time being. ”

Shen Ruoxiao was quite calm, stroking Da Bai's back and saying.

Xuanyuan Hao was not so calm, only to see that his face was full of self-blame.

The people who want to deal with them at the moment must have nothing to do with those traitors in the palace.

In the final analysis, it was because of his identity that he harmed Ling'er.

If he hadn't brought Ling'er back at the beginning, maybe she wouldn't have been involved in this officialdom of open and secret fighting.

Even if you are a poor girl for the rest of your life, it is more free than this.

Shen Ruoxiao saw Xuanyuan Hao's self-blame, and immediately walked to his side, took his hand and put it in the palm of his hand, and looked at him sincerely.

"This matter is caused by this king, and this king must personally solve it and ask Xuanyuan Qi for clarification! Otherwise, this king will feel guilty for the rest of his life! ”

Xuanyuan Hao tried his best to stabilize his emotions, but his tone was still somewhat helpless and self-reproachful.

Shen Ruoxiao just hugged Xuanyuan Hao in his arms and whispered in his ear.

"Xuanyuan Qi is now in power, you rushed into the palace but fell into his trap, our previous disguise was in vain"

Xuanyuan Hao bit his lip, his eyes filled with resentment.

He hated that he couldn't kill that beast of Xuanyuan Qi right away, and let him mess with the dynasty like this and do whatever he wanted.

Shen Ruoxiao stroked Xuanyuan Hao's back, trying to brush away the self-blame and uneasiness in his heart. My brain is still thinking about what to do.

"Now that the old emperor is also imprisoned in the deep palace by him, you can't act rashly. You must enter this palace, but you have to enter secretly, first go to explore the truth and reality, and then we will think about it in the long run. Shen Ruoxiao said with a frown, his face quite solemn.

Xuanyuan Hao thought for a moment, then nodded.

This is the safest way to do this.

He had to look at the big picture!

Shen Ruoxiao felt his calmness, and after a while, he withdrew from his embrace, smiling at him, as bright and moving as a peach blossom in March.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, it was the perfect time for him to enter the palace in the middle of the night.

But this palace is not so casual to enter, he must find a suitable identity and reason so that he can not be suspected.

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately wrote a letter and asked the secret guard to send it to Imperial Doctor Chen.

This matter must be coordinated between the two of them in order to be foolproof.

The night soon overwhelmed everything, and Xuanyuan Hao saw that the time was almost up, so he changed into a small man's clothes and walked towards the palace with a few bags of herbs in his hand.

When the guard saw Xuanyuan Hao, he felt a little angry.

The two guards blocked Xuanyuan Hao's way with the knives on their waists, and their eyes were full of scrutiny.

"Two adults, the villain is here to send herbs to the emperor, it's not a way for you to stop me!"

Xuanyuan Hao lowered his voice and pretended to be anxious.

"Herbs? We've never seen you before! Who knows if you're an assassin with bad intentions, hurry up and go! Otherwise, don't blame us for being unkind! The guard had a fierce look on his face, and his eyes were full of warning.

Xuanyuan Hao looked at the closed palace door, pretended to sigh helplessly, and then paced outside the door.

A moment later, the door suddenly opened. fervor

I saw Imperial Doctor Chen striding out of it, looked at the two guards with great dissatisfaction, and then walked in front of them.

"Don't you two want the dog's life? Dare to stop the emperor who sent medicine? If something happens to the emperor, can you take care of it? That's a crime of killing the head, and it's not an exaggeration to severely punish the nine clans! Imperial Doctor Chen pointed at their noses and scolded.

The two guards looked at Xuanyuan Hao, then lowered their heads and made a way.

Xuanyuan Hao nodded at Imperial Doctor Chen, then carried the medicine bag and walked in after him.

As soon as the palace door was closed, Xuanyuan Hao breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what, he could be regarded as a successful entry.

The rest is up to him.

Imperial Doctor Chen sent Xuanyuan Hao to the Emperor's Palace, and after a few words, he retreated and stood guard outside the door.

In the hall, the old emperor woke up leisurely under the careful conditioning of Imperial Doctor Chen, and his mind was temporarily sober.

Seeing Xuanyuan Hao walk in from outside the door, there was an indescribable sourness in his eyes.

Xuanyuan Hao's footsteps inadvertently slowed down a little, looking at his father on the bed.

The temples were already gray, the complexion on his face was not as rosy as before, and his father seemed to be ten years old.

"Hao'er, you're here, I've been thinking about you these days, and I'm finally looking forward to you."

The corners of the old emperor's mouth hooked up a smile, and his gaze fell straight on Xuanyuan Hao's face.

Xuanyuan Hao walked to the bed, leaned over, and then sat on the chair next to him, and didn't know where to open for a while.

"I don't know when my Hao'er has grown so tall, and she is much taller than me."

The old emperor looked smiling, but there were a few tears embedded in the corners of his eyes.

Xuanyuan Hao couldn't help but feel sour and bit his lip.

How could he have ever noticed that his father was so old?

He couldn't help but sit a little closer to the old emperor, his eyes looked at the wrinkles on the face of the person in front of him, his eyes were red but he didn't know it.

"Father, is your body okay?" Xuanyuan Hao took a deep breath and said.

He never seemed to care about his father so much as he did now.

The old emperor couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, and his arms propped up his body to get up.

Seeing this, Xuanyuan Hao immediately stepped forward to help him up.

"The most regrettable thing in my life is that I couldn't protect you and Concubine Xiao, if I hadn't been blinded by the queen and the crown prince, how could I have ended up like today."

The old emperor said weakly, and some longing rose in his eyes at some point.

Xuanyuan Hao shook the old emperor's hand, with a tangled look on his face.

After a moment, his pursed mouth opened slightly, and there was a little more relief in his eyes.

"In fact, the death of my mother is inseparable from the queen, and it can even be said that she caused it single-handedly." Xuanyuan Hao couldn't help but clench his fists and said.

The old emperor's face was obviously full of shock, and then his gray eyes became more and more disappointed.

He didn't expect Concubine Xiao to die at the hands of the queen.

How careless he was to cause such consequences!

If he hadn't insisted on taking Concubine Xiao into the palace at the beginning, maybe she was just a carefree little girl.

even found a good person in the market and spent his life safe and sound.

All kinds of reasons are because of his selfishness and irresponsibility.

Now he is terminally ill, and he lives in self-blame almost every day, which makes him more painful than the disease.

"Concubine Xiao, I'm sorry for you!" The old emperor's tears ran down his cheeks.

After speaking, he couldn't stop coughing.

Xuanyuan Hao immediately walked behind him and patted him on the back.

I saw the old emperor covering his mouth with his hands, his chest rising and falling, with a tearful look, and his whole face slightly burst into green tendons because of coughing.

Without warning, a mouthful of blood spurted out and landed in the palm of his hand.

He looked helplessly at the blood in his hands and showed a smile.

"Father, what's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly have hemoptysis? ”

Xuanyuan Hao hurriedly picked up the handkerchief in his arms, and knelt on the ground to wipe the old emperor's hands without hesitation.

The feeling of uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense, and Xuanyuan Hao couldn't help but tremble.

I saw that after he quickly wiped the blood away, he clenched the old emperor's hand and shook his head slightly

"It's okay, my father is fine." The old emperor raised the corners of his bloodstained mouth, and his eyes were half-squinted.

Feeling the temperature of Xuanyuan Hao's palm, a warm flow flowed through his heart.

"What's fine! I'm going to call Imperial Doctor Chen in and heal you. ”

Xuanyuan Hao's tone couldn't help but raise a few points, and his eyes were full of worry.

He couldn't believe that one day his father would leave him.

At that time, he really became a lonely man without a father and mother.

Even if he was no longer close to the old emperor, he didn't want to have such a day.
