The sweet porridge was very rare, and the old emperor quickly finished eating it, stood up and said to the queen: "This porridge tastes very delicious, you can send someone to bring me another one tomorrow morning." ”

"Yes......" The queen was almost speechless, and the tears on her face were like beads with broken threads, rolling down one after another.

"What's wrong with you?" The old emperor looked at the empress suspiciously, and just wanted to step forward to approach her a few steps, but he felt a dizziness in his head, and he almost couldn't stand.

In the next second, the old emperor fell straight down like a puppet with a broken string.

"Ahh The queen couldn't help but let out an exclamation, her face was full of grief, and she covered her mouth so hard that she would not cry.

"What are you doing in a daze, why don't you move him to bed quickly?" Su Jin glanced at the queen, leaned over, put up the old emperor's arm, and said to the queen: "Help me quickly, I can't help him alone." ”

"You...... How can your heart be so ruthless. The queen had tears in her eyes and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"Huh." A mocking smile rose on Su Jin's lips, and he used all his strength to erect the old emperor's body, and looked at the queen coldly: "How do you think the queen mother died?" ”

"What!" The queen looked at Su Jin in disbelief, as if she were looking directly at a demon grinding his teeth and sucking blood.

"Hurry up, that eunuch is back!" Su Jin urged the queen urgently, glared at her angrily and said, "There is no turning back from the bow, you have already done this step, do you want to fall short?" ”

"No......" The queen shook her head, gritted her teeth and walked up to the other side of the old emperor's body, and joined forces with Su Jin to slowly help him to the side of the bed.

The old emperor still has a faint heartbeat, his chest is still slowly rising and falling, lying on the bed and covering it with a quilt, it looks no different from falling asleep, which is also the genius of this poison.

"Quickly wipe your face with a handkerchief, and when people see it, they will all be exposed!" Su Jin took out her handkerchief from between her sleeves and stuffed it into the queen's hand

The queen wiped the tears from her face with a handkerchief and asked slowly, "What should we do now...... Is he not dead yet, is he still saved? ”

"If he has salvation, you don't want to live!" Su Jin glared at the empress, looked down at the old emperor on the bed and said, "Once this poison enters the body, it cannot be removed, and it can only be allowed to slowly penetrate into the internal organs of the body, and the person will die quietly and silently as if he was asleep." ”

"Poison into the internal organs? Isn't he miserable? The queen covered her mouth and couldn't stop her tears.

"How can there be so many things! This poison will destroy Rao's central nervous system, make people lose consciousness, and naturally they will not feel pain. Su Jin half-truthfully comforted the queen, pouted and said: "He has used various means all his life, tortured and persecuted so many people, and he ended up with such a comfortable death, it was really cheap for him!" ”

"Are you so damned...... The queen wiped the tears from her face and opened her mouth to ask, but she heard the father-in-law of the steward ask suspiciously: "Your Majesty, what's the matter?" ”

The housekeeper's father-in-law came back with a hand warmer, and as soon as he came in, he saw the old emperor lying on the bed, and Su Jin and the queen stood by the bed with their backs to the door, and they were suddenly full of questions.

"Your Majesty didn't do much, after using the sweet porridge, I was tired, so I lay down and rested." Su Jin pretended to be casual, replied softly, and took the queen's hand and left the bed, saying, "Queen Mother, we should also go to Cining Palace to continue the vigil." ”

"Okay." The queen tried to calm down, replied angrily, and lowered her head and let Su Jin lead her out of the hall.

"Mother, your hand warmer!" Seeing that the queen was leaving, the housekeeper's father-in-law hurriedly raised the hand warmer in his hand and reminded loudly.

"No need." The queen shook her head like a lost soul, and left the Heart Cultivation Hall after Su Jin.

The housekeeper's father-in-law frowned, and after the two of them went out, he quickly walked to the old emperor's bed, and looked down to see that he was indeed asleep, and his chest was still rising and falling steadily.

"It's really strange, it's just started, why did it rest again." The father-in-law muttered to himself, then stretched out his hand to tuck the corner of the quilt for the old emperor, and turned to go about his own business.

In the Imperial Dragon Pavilion, Su Wan and Xiao Mochen were having dinner.

Facing a table of delicacies, Su Wan barely moved his chopsticks, frowning all the time and showing a tangled expression. Xiao Mochen looked at her with concern and asked, "What's wrong?" Bad food? ”

"Not really." Su Wan sighed, pushed the rice bowl in front of him, and said slowly: "I just have some worries about my father." ”

Xiao Mochen put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, turned around and took Su Wan's hand, and said comfortingly: "Father has someone waiting by his side, you don't have to worry." ”

Su Wan nodded hesitantly, looked at Xiao Mochen for a moment, and looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Mochen smiled faintly, brushed a strand of messy hair next to Su Wan's sideburns with his hand, and asked softly.

"Because I haven't experienced any parental affection, I can't understand how you feel now......" Su Wan hesitated again and again, but still said tentatively: "Father's life is not much, I'm afraid your heart is also very uncomfortable, right?" ”

Xiao Mochen was slightly stunned, holding Su Wan's hand couldn't help but tighten, and nodded: "Recently, I have indeed thought about a lot of things between me and my father. ”

"Your relationship wasn't good in the past, right?" Su Wan looked at Xiao Mochen and asked.

When he was young, the old emperor was tyrannical and suspicious, and he was cold and ruthless. Xiao Mochen, who was outstanding, was cultivated by him with the strictest requirements, and was sent to the border pass for training before he was ten years old, and he was not allowed to return to the imperial capital until he made meritorious contributions.

"It's not just bad, when my mother was dying of illness, I kept crying and screaming to see him for the last time, but he didn't even come to see her for the last time, I even wanted to kill him." Xiao Mochen blurted out this sentence, then smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "Now that I think about it, this is the king's own cold arrogance." ”

Hearing this, Su Wan felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. The old emperor's youth was indeed too domineering, on the one hand, he favored Concubine Lu too much but was unwilling to empathize with the second and fourth princes; On the other hand, he is so important and optimistic about Xiao Mochen, but he is unwilling to share his concern for his mother.

As a king, you can't even reveal your favorite food, lest someone grab the handle and take the opportunity to poison it. Over time, perhaps he also learned to disguise his true thoughts with coldness in dealing with others.

"My father is a talented man who helps the world, and he deserves to be called a generation of Ming Jun." Xiao Mochen smiled faintly, took a sip of the tea cup from the table, and sighed: "I will have to work harder in the future to catch up with him." ”

"You...... Just learn from your father's rule of the country and help the world, and you must not learn his bad aspects! Su Wan was a little anxious, and hurriedly frowned and added.

Seeing Su Wan's delicate and cute appearance, Xiao Mochen couldn't help but show a smile, reached out and pinched her cheek, and nodded: "Don't worry, Wan'er, I will always treat Wan'er." ”

Su Wan shrank her neck slightly embarrassed, and said, "If you have children in the future, what will you do to them?" ”

Su Wan herself comes from a family that lacks parental care, and she doesn't understand the happiness and joy of a child growing up carefree under the knees of her parents. From the current point of view, Xiao Mochen's childhood is not happy, as the son of the family, he has to bear twice as much hard work and effort as ordinary people.

"I think I'll try to treat him like a normal father." Xiao Mochen looked at Su Wan with a solemn face, and said slowly as promised: "I will teach him to write and take him to have fun every day...... In addition to being strict with him in martial arts, I will definitely treat him as gently as possible. ”

"What if it's a girl?" Su Wan's heart warmed, and he asked with a slight smile.

"If it's a girl...... Xiao Mochen also smiled, stretched out his hand to pull Su Wan into his arms, kissed her forehead, and said lightly: "She will definitely be as smart as her mother, beautiful and cute." ”

Su Wan shook his whole body and shyly broke free from Xiao Mochen's embrace. When she asked this question, she didn't imagine that she was in the position of the mother of the children, but now that Xiao Mochen was like this, she couldn't help blushing and her heart jumped.

Xiao Mochen looked at her with a smile for a moment, then stretched out his hand to her and said, "Go, aren't you relieved that your father can't be relieved?" Let's go to the Temple of Heart Cultivation. ”

"Okay." Su Wan nodded, put his hand into Xiao Mochen's hand, and it was still as familiar as the cold touch

Seeing Su Wan inadvertently furrowing her eyebrows, Xiao Mochen looked at her inquiringly and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"I'm thinking that I must improve my medical skills and try to cure your cold poison." Su Wan smiled and held Xiao Mochen's hand tighter with his backhand, as if he wanted to transfer the temperature in his body to his body.

The descendants of the Xiao Dynasty all have cold diseases, Xiao Mochen's cold poison is the most serious, if he can't get a thorough treatment before he reaches middle age, I am afraid that he will follow in the footsteps of the old emperor's lung disease.

Thinking about it like this, Su Wan's heart is even more urgent. She had decided that from now on, she would lock herself in her study for three hours and study medical monographs, and she would never be lazy.

The two of them came to the outside of the Heart Nourishing Hall one after the other, and the housekeeper happened to be holding the decoction and preparing to send it to the old emperor to take, and when she saw Su Wan coming, she hurriedly greeted enthusiastically: "Lord and princess Wanfu Jin'an!" ”

"Mama excuses." Su Wan smiled, looked at the decoction in her hand and said, "Father's medicine has been taken on time?" ”

"Your Majesty did not miss a meal, and he ate it all on time and in the right amount." The housekeeper replied with a smile, "After the evening after the medicine, His Majesty lay down to rest, and has not gotten up until now. ”

"Rested?" Su Wan frowned a little in surprise and said: "It stands to reason that it won't be, in order to prevent my father from falling asleep in vain, I deliberately added refreshing herbs to the medicinal brew, and only added medicinal materials to calm the nerves and help sleep in the medicinal soup at night!" ”

"This ...... The slave and maid did not know. The housekeeper was slightly stunned, and said with an embarrassed expression. In her opinion, this is not a big deal, the old emperor is already a man in his twilight years, and it is common for him to be sleepy in vain.

The uneasiness in Su Wan's heart became more and more intense, she didn't say anything more, but walked straight into the inner hall with her head bored. Xiao Mochen immediately followed behind her.

On the bed, the old emperor lay there peacefully, as if he was falling into a peaceful sleep

Su Wan uneasily put his hand into the old emperor's brocade quilt, and as soon as he reached in, he frowned, because the temperature in the quilt was a little too low, not like the body temperature that normal people would have when they slept.

After pulling out the old emperor's hand, Su Wan caught his pulse, but his face changed in an instant—although the old emperor's pulse was stable, it was gradually declining with a change that could be felt, which was a sign of near death!

"Oh no! Father is dying! Get my medicine kit! Su Wan's head was oozing with sweat, and he hurriedly shouted at the housekeeper's father-in-law.

After hearing this, the housekeeper's father-in-law was immediately frightened, and ran to the side hall to bring a medical box for Su Wan, and said tremblingly: "How can this be...... Your Majesty was smiling with the Empress and the Imperial Concubine just now......"

"Did he do anything unusual this afternoon?" Su Wan bit her pale lower lip, looked at the housekeeper and asked seriously.

"I didn't welcome... His Majesty has been in good spirits, and he also took a bowl of sweet porridge from the queen. "The steward's father-in-law sighed", his face turned pale instantly, and he seemed to understand something.

Su Wan's heart was cold, and he also realized that the problem might be on the sweet porridge. However, her top priority now is to comprehensively save the old emperor's life, and when she opened the box, Su Wan took out the silver needle and began to treat the old emperor with acupuncture.

"What sweet porridge? Didn't you test the poison at the time? Xiao Mochen saw the subtle change in the facial expression of the housekeeper's father-in-law, and immediately asked sharply.

"Because, because the amount of sweet porridge is small, under the instruction of the imperial concubine, we just tested the poison with utensils, and did not let the drug test officer taste it himself." A drop of sweat slipped on the head of the housekeeper's father-in-law, and he never thought that his mistake would cause such serious consequences.

"Where is the porridge bowl now?" Xiao Mochen turned around, strode towards the door, and said loudly: "The Imperial Forest Army obeyed the order, imprisoned all the subordinates who had entered and exited the Heart Cultivation Hall today, and looked back at all the utensils used by His Majesty!" ”

"Yes!" The guards outside the hall shouted in response and immediately split up. They are all Xiao Mochen's henchmen, so they naturally know how to weigh the stakes and solve problems with the highest efficiency.

The entire Heart Cultivation Hall was immediately lit up and chaotic. The loud sound alarmed the entire imperial city, and of course, it also reached the Zheng of the prince's garden

Ye Ziyu was originally kneeling on the cushion with his eyes slightly closed, and he and the rest of the princes were all guarding the queen mother's spirit, when he suddenly heard a report from the palace people: "Your Majesty's condition has deteriorated, I'm afraid it's about to die!" ”
