Chapter 174: Confession
"Father!" Jing Chi hurriedly leaned over, "Imperial Doctor!" Doctor! ”
After pouring the bitter decoction, King Xia's face gradually recovered, he looked at the anxious prince in front of him, slowly closed his eyes again, and said slowly: "What time is it?" ”
"It's time."
"The widow has been in a coma for a long time?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
King Xia had a headache, his whole body burned like a flame, he covered his mouth and nose and suddenly coughed twice, and his open palm was already scarlet. "Open the window." He looked sideways at the rockery, flowing water, small bridges, flowers and trees in the courtyard outside the window, and the pavilions and pavilions in the palace were undulating. His breathing was heavy, his hands and feet were numb, his eyes were cloudy, and he seemed to have aged ten years overnight. Jing Chi supported King Xia's body and saw a few of his gray hairs.
"Father, rest more." Jing Chi said with relief.
King Xia didn't speak, he closed his eyes tiredly and adjusted his breathing. He seemed to feel it, and he was terminally ill in an instant. This disease dies day and night, how can the imperial doctor cure it? His body was hot and cold, and he no longer had the strength to spit out a word. Jing Chi suddenly felt that his father, who was high above, had become old in an instant, and the deep wrinkles on his forehead were like ruts that had been crushed by a chariot. He gently kneaded his shoulders for his father, "Father, don't worry. ”
King Xia opened his eyes and was about to say something, when Concubine Fu's voice suddenly came from the courtyard, "What are you stopping me from doing!" I want to see the king! ”
"The king commands that no one is allowed to ......" Before the guard could finish speaking, King Xia spoke, "Let her in." ”
Concubine Fu stumbled in like a pardon, and knelt down ten steps away from King Xia. Her face was bloodless, tears flowed down her face, she trembled, her long pink dress could no longer be charming, and she seemed to have lost a lot of weight in the past few days. Zhou Wan had tears in her eyes, and said in a choked voice: "I implore the king to stab the concubine to death!" Forgive my son, forgive the Zhou family! ”
King Xia looked coldly at the woman who was crawling on the ground and smiled.
Outside the window, wild birds fluttered and flew by, dropping a gray feather.
Zhou Wan's whole body trembled, and she didn't dare to look up at the majestic king. When she heard the news of Xia Wang's illness, her consciousness exploded instantly, her breathing was disordered, her eyes were bloodshot, and she was about to explode at any time. Every minute and every second of the past wanted to sharpen the blade to slow him. When her son Jing Zheng approached her and asked to poison King Xia, she refused. Now that she heard that King Xia was sick, she insisted that it must be her father or son who instructed the palace people to do so. The day before yesterday, King Xia withdrew the rights of the Zhou family and Zheng'er, and today he was retaliated against. His own son is for his own strength, and he wants to fry the entire Great Xia on the fire.
Zhou Wan panicked when she arrived, and came to be honest about everything. If you commit a rebellion and you can exterminate the Nine Clans, how can you watch your relatives commit crimes? If you want to die, you should die her. She didn't know how much King Xia knew, but judging from his attitude, he must have figured out that eight or nine are not far from ten. If you don't stop the precipice, your own Zheng'er will be a sinner of the country. Her face was flushed, and her white teeth were clenched, "For the sake of the king's concubines who have been with her for so many years, for the sake of ...... For Jing Zheng's sake, spare them! ”
She kowtowed her head.
In King Xia's impression, Concubine Fu rarely performed this big gift, she always looked at him with affection, snuggling up to him like a kitten. He doted on her, but now he only resented. resented her sneaky night lover, resented the son who taught her to be extremely sinful and misguided, and hated her father who was insatiable in desire.
King Xia stared straight at her, as if he wanted to stare her out of a hole.
Zhou Wan didn't dare to look up, she said everything she knew.
Jing Chi was stunned, and even Zhang Zhong was stunned for a moment.
Fu Jinhan is not the only one who poisons people.
The two looked at each other.
Zhang Zhongshen bowed, "Your Majesty." ”
King Xia said to Zhou Wan, "Go down." ”
"Your Majesty?" She looked up in panic, her eyes widening.
"Wan'er, do you have any sincerity for the widow?"
"Your Majesty." She repeated again, "Concubine...... The concubine's sincerity can be seen from the sun and the moon......"
"Go down." King Xia said lightly, and he didn't have the strength to turn over the river and the sea in his mind.
