Zhou Shixian was stunned for a few hours, and the first person he saw after waking up was actually Zhou Youchen.

This made his heart slightly startled. Because he seemed to have a dream just now, he dreamed of Concubine Xiao and vaguely saw her face.

Zhou Youchen stood beside his bed expressionlessly, and then said something to him that he was most afraid of hearing.

"Father, did you kill your mother?"

Zhou Youchen saw him staring wide-eyed, looking at himself, his eyes were full of panic.

He stared blankly at him, opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

Zhou Youchen's eyes were gloomy and his expression was stubborn: "Father, the son has never asked you a word about the mother concubine before, so you owe the son an answer." ”

Zhou Shixian's face changed suddenly, and he subconsciously grabbed the quilt and reprimanded: "Presumptuous! Come...... Someone ...... coming."

No matter how weak his body was, he could sense the aura of danger.

A grim smile flashed across Zhou Youchen's angular face, and he stood half a step forward, reached out and pinched his throat, and then froze in place, staring at his father tightly. "Today, the father will either give the son an answer, and ask the son to give the father a happy time!"

Zhou Shixian trembled with anger, and he clearly realized how dangerous his situation was.

However, now he is weak in his limbs, and he doesn't even have the strength to speak loudly.

Zhou Shixian choked in his throat, he could feel the strength of his hand, he was so angry that he almost fainted, and gritted his teeth and said, "Son! I am your father......"

Zhou Youchen suddenly laughed when he heard this, and his smile was very weird. "Erchen advises you to save some effort. Once upon a time, the retainers in the palace had heard words that were a hundred times more difficult to hear...... The father should also know, what do those minions call their sons...... They all scolded Erchen for being a mongrel! Hahaha, if you think about it carefully, they are really bold, and they even scolded your father! ”

When Zhou Shixian heard this, the angry expression on his face became even more stiff. "Chen'er, it turns out that you have always resented me."

Zhou Youchen moved a little closer to him and said in a very small voice: "How did the sons grow up, my father knows it clearly. In fact, Erchen has always had a question that he is very curious about, why? Since the father could have killed his mother, why didn't he kill his sons and ministers as well. ”

Zhou Shixian's eyes flickered, and he said with a complicated expression: "You are just my son, no matter how much I doubt Concubine Xiao, I am not willing to harm you." ”

"You're lying! The mother concubine never betrayed you before her death, it was you who were suspicious and narrow-minded by nature, and you deliberately killed her! ”

Zhou Youchen tried his best to control his tone, not wanting to alarm the people outside. People outside thought they were talking to each other about father and son.

Meng Xilan stood outside the door, looked at Zhou Youlin, who was walking back and forth with his hands behind his back, and persuaded softly: "Don't be restless, prince. ”

Zhou Youlin looked up at her when he heard this, and said lightly: "Thank you Concubine Lan for caring so much, how can your sons bear it." ”

He already knew that she was no longer the adopted daughter of the Queen Mother. Now she is Concubine Lan, his mother-in-law.

Meng Xilan's face changed slightly: "Lord Wang, now is not the time to be cynical. ”

Zhou Youlin looked directly into her eyes: "Really?" It's really rude to be there, and I hope you don't blame you. After speaking, he leaned over to her side and said in a low voice: "As soon as the sun comes out tomorrow morning, your title of Concubine Lan will become your biggest burden." You'll be dragged down by it for the rest of your life. ”

He had no intention of scaring her, he just told the truth.

Meng Xilan's face changed slightly when she heard this, and she silently opposed him.

Zhou Youlin's gaze crossed her shoulder, looked at the road leading to the inner hall, and followed, "What is the father talking to Lao Jiu?" ”

Meng Xilan deliberately blocked in front of him, blocking his sight and blocking his way. "The emperor and the ninth master have their own important words, let's not bother!"

"Do you know anything?"

Meng Xilan looked at it and twisted her eyebrows slightly, avoiding the topic: "The ninth master is the youngest son of the emperor, and he is also the son he can't rest assured of. ”

Zhou Youlin was a little suspicious and a little uneasy.

Seeing that he didn't ask any questions, Meng Xilan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to look at the inner hall, hoping that this would end soon.

At this moment, Zhou Shixian is still struggling in his heart, and those words are something that he can't say in his stomach all his life.

"If you really think of me as your son, then you can tell me the truth!"

Zhou Youchen had tears in his eyes, Zhou Shixian looked at it quietly, and then sighed: "I am indeed ashamed of Concubine Xiao, but she died of illness back then...... How could I be willing to hurt her......"

Hearing this, Zhou Youchen pursed his lips slightly and pulled out a cold smile, he didn't refute his words, but just withdrew his hand.

When he was dying, he still refused to tell the truth...... But it's okay to do this, it just completely breaks off their father-son relationship, which is as thin as a gossamer.

Zhou Shixian saw him retreating silently, looking at himself for a moment, the haze in his eyes deepened, and sighed softly: "Chen'er, you have to believe me!" ”

Zhou Youchen seemed to be smiling: "The book says that people are about to die, and their words are good." Father, you are willing to deceive your sons until the last moment, and you don't want to tell the truth, you really admire them! ”

"You...... What did you say? No, I won't die! ”

Everyone in this world is afraid of death, and the emperor is no exception.

Zhou Youchen said lightly: "My father has been sick for so long, I should know in my heart that your body is not going to get better!" ”

Halfway through his words, Zhou Youlin walked in from the outside, his eyes scanning the two of them, very heavy.

Zhou Shixian was in a hurry, propped up half of his body, looked at the two of them and asked, "You ...... Are you trying to harm me? ”

Zhou Youlin frowned when he heard this, glanced at Zhou Youchen, and reprimanded softly: "Lao Jiu, my father is still sick, what nonsense are you talking about?" ”

Zhou Youchen met his gaze and said lightly: "Fourth brother, you came just in time, you have always been the smartest, you help your father think about it, why has he been sick for so long, and moreover, the sicker he is, the more serious he gets?" ”

Zhou Youlin's heart was shocked, but he felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly said: "Lao Jiu, don't talk nonsense." ”

Zhou Shixian was originally very suspicious, but when he heard this, he became even more excited: "Evil obstacles! You wicked obstacles! How dare you harm me! I'm going to kill you, kill all of you......"

By the end, his voice had become hoarse.

"Someone's coming...... Come! ”

Zhou Youlin originally didn't want to change his face, but seeing that things had changed, he had to change his original intention.

"Father, don't you believe your son?" He came to Zhou Shixian's bedside, "You're just sick, no one wants to harm you!" ”

Zhou Shixian suddenly leaned over and coughed, spit out a mouthful of blood, and was immediately frightened.

"I ...... I can't die...... I won't let you die. ”

Zhou Youchen looked at him coldly, and was about to speak, but suddenly someone shook his palm.

He turned his head to look and found that it was Meng Xilan.

She had heard the movement early in the morning, but hesitated to come in.

It was originally the time left for Zhou Youchen, but now it has become a little chaotic.

Suddenly, Zhou Shixian stretched out a finger and pointed directly at Zhou Youlin's face and said, "It must be you, it's you...... You are as ruthless as your mother, your hands are full of blood, your mother and son are vicious people, I will kill you! ”

When Zhou Youlin heard this, he finally couldn't control his emotions and said in a deep voice: "Father, are you qualified to say that?" How much has the mother done for you over the years in order to please you! She'll have blood on her hands, and that's all because of you, because of you! ”

Zhou Shixian tried his best to sit up, but he struggled several times, and he couldn't sit up straight: "You all have to hurt me!" You all want it! I want to ...... ...... want to kill"

The breath didn't catch his breath, and he almost fainted.

Zhou Youchen saw that he was really going to die, and he simply couldn't care so much, so he walked over and grabbed his shoulder, and asked with hatred, "Why did you kill my mother?" Why? You give my mother back! ”

Zhou Shixian panted exhaustedly, his breathing became weaker and weaker, and he said half-loudly: "I'm sorry for her...... I am the Son of Heaven and the Emperor...... I can't keep her, and since I can't keep her, I can only ...... That's all you can do......"

The only woman he has ever loved in his life is actually the woman who hates him the most. He could give her everything in the world, but she kept asking him for freedom. He couldn't give her freedom...... I don't want to set her free!

Zhou Youchen's eyes were filled with tears, after so many years of grievances and forbearance, he finally heard the truth that he should have known. The Death of the Mother...... Aunt's Death ...... It's time to understand everything.

He wants to know him with his own hands, with his own hands!

"I want your life!" As soon as Zhou Youchen finished saying this, Meng Xilan hugged him firmly from behind and dragged him back a few steps.

Zhou Youchen struggled a few times, but heard Meng Xilan leaning against his back and muttering, "Chen'er is obedient, you promised me, you promised." ”

Zhou Youchen lowered his head, looked at Meng Xilan's knuckles that were white because of excessive force, and shed tears: "Why am I your son...... Why should it be your son! ”

Zhou Youlin looked at the scene in front of him, and his eyebrows were wrung deeper.

"You take Lao Jiu out, he's so excited."

Meng Xilan hugged Zhou Youchen's slightly trembling body, and said with strength: "Chen'er, come with me, please." ”

She softened his heart in a pleading tone, making him unable to refuse.

The imperial doctors and eunuchs outside heard some movement, and just when they didn't know what to do, they saw that Meng Xilan walked out with Zhou Youchen with tears in his eyes, and subconsciously thought that nothing had happened, just a little sadness.

Meng Xilan kept taking Zhou Youchen out of the courtyard, and along the way, she didn't say a word, just clenched his hand, and didn't dare if anyone would see it, and if anyone would talk about it.

After staying in a place with shaded trees, she turned to look at Zhou Youchen, who was stubbornly crying, but gritted her teeth and said quietly: "If you want to cry, cry, I'm here with you." ”
