Chapter 574: Life is short
Zhou Bohong looked at Lu Qingyi and smiled lightly, "I forgot, Miss Shen has already married Lu Gongzi, and I was abrupt." ”
"It's good that the fifth prince knows, so since there's nothing to do, let's go first." Lu Qingyi said and pulled Shen Xi away.
Zhou Bohong stared at the back of them leaving, his expression was fierce, and then the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
After Shen Xi and Lu Qingyi left, they went to find the old patriarch, the old patriarch is in poor health now, he has always been nested in bed, and even the windows are closed, so that there is no wind.
The old patriarch was resting on the bed with his eyes closed.
He opened his eyes at the sound of the door opening, and he didn't have to do anything for a day, but he looked very tired.
"You're here!" The old patriarch glanced at Shen Xi and Lu Qingyi, and then he bothered himself and wanted to lean on the bed, but he didn't have enough strength, and he didn't sit up with all his strength.
Seeing this, Lu Qingyi hurriedly stepped forward to help the old patriarch, and when he touched the old patriarch, his face was gloomy, "You have lost a lot of weight." ”
The old patriarch coughed softly, his beard grew very long, and he looked very vicissitudes.
"I'm going to die soon, and I'm going to lose weight." The old patriarch looked at Shen Xi and motioned for Shen Xi to come over.
When Shen Xi saw the old patriarch like this, her face was solemn, and she also knew that the old patriarch didn't have much time left, and he might die at any time.
As far as Shen Xi is concerned, the old patriarch and her don't have too deep exchanges, but the old patriarch is willing to accept Ruofeng, which makes her very moved, and he really thinks about Chu Han.
The old patriarch took Lu Qingyi and Shen Xi's hands, his hands were very rough, he stared at Shen Xi and Lu Qingyi, "Although Chu Han's situation today is still very dangerous, I know that you two must be able to turn the tide, you have put a lot of thought into quelling Chu Han's civil strife at the beginning, but Chu Han will still be handed over to you in the future." ”
As he spoke, the old patriarch took out a piece of jade pendant from under the pillow, "I'll give this thing to you first, and then hand it over to Ruofeng when I'm gone, he is still young, although Luo Han is on the side, but when I die, there will definitely be many people who disagree with him, and there are still the remnants of Chu Yihan who supported him before, but after having this jade pendant, he will be much easier." ”
This jade pendant is the personal jade pendant of the patriarch, and seeing the jade pendant is equivalent to seeing him in person.
Shen Xi squeezed the jade pendant in his hand very tightly, even if the old patriarch was already like this, he was still worried about whether Ruofeng could grasp the overall situation of Chu Han, "Don't worry, old patriarch, Ruofeng can make the Chu Han people completely accept him, I believe him." ”
"You still want Lu Qingyi to check your body, you are always uncomfortable like this." Shen Xi really can't look down on the old patriarch's body, he is estimated to not even have ninety pounds now, and he is so thin that only bones remain.
"My body is not much better if I check it again, and it is not uncomfortable, so I don't need to check it, and after the examination, I know that the result is not good and it will affect my mood." The old patriarch is now looking like he is looking at his fate.
"I've lived for so many years, it doesn't matter if I can live or not, I'm just worried now, what will I do if the wind is gone after I leave?"
"Ruofeng, don't worry, he has this ability, and he has Luo Han by his side, even if Chu Yihan is still there, he will not openly disobey Luo Han's order." Although Shen Xi said so, she actually had no bottom in her own heart.
Chu Yihan is a native of Chu Han in the end, and Ruofeng is just a halfway joiner, even if there is no flaw in the recognition of relatives at that time, as long as someone is fanning the flames next to him, those people will definitely have doubts about Ruofeng's identity. Ambiguous 43
Especially now that Zhou Bohong and Yizhuang are in Chuhan.
"I hope so!" The old patriarch didn't say anything in the end, only sighed softly.
Lu Qingyi finally forcibly checked the pulse of the old patriarch and prescribed him medicine, which could not prolong his life, but it would make the old patriarch more comfortable and not too uncomfortable.
At first, the old patriarch was reluctant to drink the medicine, he felt that he was a dying person, and no matter how much medicine he drank, he was just torturing himself, after all, the medicine looked bitter.
"You take a sip and try it, this medicine is not bitter." Shen Xi coaxed the old patriarch like a child, he was old, and he was really a bit like a child's temper, and he had to coax him to drink medicine or something.
The old patriarch didn't trust Shen Xi at all, he pouted and shook his head, "You said the same thing last time, but I almost threw up after drinking the medicine, and you forced me to finish it."
The old patriarch's voice was a little hoarse, and his words still had a little coquettish flavor, sounding really like a child who felt very wronged.
"Do you drink? If you don't drink it, I'll throw this jade pendant away. Shen Xi took out the jade pendant as he spoke, making it look like he was going to throw it away.
The old patriarch finally looked at Lu Qingyi aggrievedly and wanted to ask him for help, who knew that Lu Qingyi said that he had no choice.
In the end, under Shen Xi's repeated persuasion and threats, the old patriarch drank the medicine.
After drinking it, Shen Xi looked at the old patriarch slightly, "You don't believe it when you say that this medicine is not bitter, and it is still sweet." ”
"This is the first time I've drunk such a sweet medicine." The old patriarch smacked his mouth as he spoke, feeling a little undrunk, he seemed to be getting older, but the more he liked sweet things, but because he was not in good health, Luo Han had always restricted him from eating sweets.
"In the future, a bowl every morning and evening, so that you can sleep more comfortably." Shen Xi said softly.
The old patriarch nodded slightly.
"Then you have a good rest by yourself, we will leave first, remember to tell us anything or fall cold, and don't hide it if you are not feeling well, this will not do you any good." Shen Xi instructed over and over again, she stared at the old patriarch slightly, really as if she was instructing her father.
She grew up with Shen Fang and Zhou Shan since she was a child, and Zhou Shan is a gambler who likes to be an adult at every turn, so Shen Xi has no way to experience her father's love, that is, after marrying Lu Qingyi, Lu Fu treats her very well and respects her ideas, followed by the old patriarch.
The old patriarch is also a childless person, so he will be coquettish in front of Shen Xi again and again, just like an old father and daughter.
As soon as Shen Xi left, the old patriarch coughed for a long time, and even coughed up blood, he had been enduring it just now, only feeling very uncomfortable, but he was afraid that Shen Xi would be worried, so he chose to hide it.
But after spitting out the blood, the old patriarch felt that his body was much more comfortable, at least not as cold as before.
Shen Xi and Lu Qingyi came out of the old patriarch's room, and they didn't speak all the time, they all knew that the old clan was running out for a long time, and as soon as the old patriarch died, someone would definitely take the opportunity to make trouble again.
As for who it will be, Shen Xi and Lu Qingyi are both thinking about how to deal with it when the time comes.
