Chapter 412: A Difficult Choice
Just when Luo Qingluan took Xu Wei and Xu Lian to inspect the Jiangbei County Shoufu, on the other side, the time turned back to the evening of the same day.
Nangong Qing had just received a letter from Luo Qingluan, and along with the Dark Harrier's message, there was also a pill wrapped in a wax pill, which was only the size of a soybean. The letter said that this pill was personally configured by Luo Qingluan, and asked him to bring it to Nalan Night to recuperate his body, Nangong Qing was overjoyed, although he couldn't see Nalan Night in person last time, but if he brought it to Nalan Night this time, the gap between the two might be much less.
Holding the pill in his hand, Nangong Qing put Luo Qingluan's letter in his arms again, and was about to let someone prepare the horse, when a subordinate outside the flower hall hurriedly came: "His Royal Highness the Prince, someone has come to the palace, saying that the queen mother invited His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to enter the palace to talk." ”
Nangong Qingyi frowned, it was getting late now, if he didn't hurry out of the city to see Nalan Ye, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to come back. When the city gate is closed, even if he wants to come back, he is afraid that it will take a lot of trouble. And Nalan Ye's injuries ......
Thinking of this, he had a heart in his mind, he couldn't care so much, so he would go to Nalan Ye first, and then enter the palace tomorrow.
"The palace is not free for the time being, go back and tell the queen mother, just say that the palace has something important now, and I will go to see the queen mother early tomorrow morning......"
Who knows, before Nangong Qing finished speaking, he saw a eunuch standing anxiously outside the courtyard, and as soon as he saw him, he rushed up, and almost knelt down directly: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you can't go, the queen has something urgent to find you!" ”
The eunuch was about to cry in a hurry, and grabbed him by the sleeve and didn't let go.
"What's going on?" Nangong Qing felt that something was wrong, "What happened to the queen mother, what happened?" ”
The eunuch's face was already wrinkled, he looked left and right, and quickly leaned into Nangong Qing's ear and cried: "Your Majesty is injured...... It's serious! The mother asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to hurry into the palace......"
Nangong Qing was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and exclaimed: "How can this be? "He only entered the palace the day before yesterday, although his father is not in good spirits, but he is also relieved to be taken care of by his mother, why is he suddenly injured now, and it is said that it is very serious? How serious is it that the queen mother will send someone to find him?
didn't dare to think deeply at all, Nangong Qing didn't have time to ask again, and shouted directly: "Come on, prepare the horse, the palace is about to enter the palace." ”
When Nangong Qing hurried to Tianol Palace, he didn't have time to let people report and broke in directly, and sure enough, one by one the palace maids and eunuchs didn't dare to come out, hiding in the corner with a blank face and a worried face. Empress Wang was surrounding the dragon bed, and Emperor Xichu was lying straight and couldn't see anything.
"Queen Mother!" Nangong Qing shouted, and when he saw his father like this, his heart hung up.
Although Nangong Qing was very dissatisfied with Emperor Xichu's wronging of Luo Qingluan and later falling out with Nalan Ye, as a son, he had no choice but to adjust the two parties as much as possible. But now seeing that Emperor Xichu was lying on the bed, without even making a sound, as if he was lost at any time, at this moment, he still irrepressibly felt a sense of sadness and panic.
Hearing the voice, Queen Wang turned around suddenly, and when she saw that it was Nangong Qing, she quickly got up and pounced, grabbing his hand tightly: "Qing'er, you are finally here, the queen mother doesn't know what to do anymore, your father and the emperor ......."
"What happened to my father?" When he got closer, Nangong Qing saw the scars on Emperor Xichu's body.
The white underwear was soaked with a trace of blood, wrapped with a thick white cloth, and there was a strong smell of medicine, Emperor Xichu's lips were pale, his eyes were closed, and even his breathing became long, as if he had become a dead man.
Nangong Qing's heart jumped sharply, and he forced out a few words from his throat in a dumb voice: "Father...... How could he, how could he? ”
"Your father has been in a bad mood these days...... "Queen Wang's eyes were already red from crying, and she had forcibly endured it before, but when she saw Nangong Qing coming, she couldn't restrain her tears, "I persuaded him for a long time, but it didn't work at all, after lunch today, the queen mother saw that the weather was not bad, so she wanted your father to go out for a walk, who knew that the eunuch who changed his clothes accidentally slowed down, and your father and emperor became angry." ”
As soon as she remembered what had happened before, Queen Wang was extremely remorseful, and if she had known that this would be the case, she would not have proposed to go out for a walk. With tears in her eyes, she sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Emperor Xichu, and choked up: "Usually, your father and the emperor execute several palace people, although the queen mother can't look past it, she tries to dissuade it." But this time, your father was going to stab the eunuch to death again, and before the queen mother could persuade him, the eunuch actually grabbed the candlestick directly and stabbed it into your father's body......"
"What, that's the case?" Nangong Qing's face twitched when he heard this, no wonder his father was also injured in the palace, he thought there was an assassin, but he didn't expect it to be his father's own sin. If he hadn't wanted to execute the eunuch for a trivial matter, how could the other party jump over the wall and want to resist?
Nangong Qing let out a long sigh: "Alas...... The father made it like this, and the child was ......"
He really didn't know what to say, he had never encountered such a thing, he had always been smooth sailing before, he had never experienced such a situation, even if his father sent him to the border to confront North Vietnam, he was confident and full of confidence. But this will ...... It seems that the sky has changed, his father and emperor have been suspicious all day long, and now he is seriously injured, and Nalan Ye is the same, almost to the point of turning against Emperor Xichu. He is caught in the middle, and he is in a dilemma, and he is at a loss.
and Luo Qingluan......
Although there is already news of her, after all, she is left behind, and she can't go back to her home, and he also has to bear some responsibility. There is a way that the father pays off the debt of the son, if he can't try to reunite Luo Qingluan and Nalan Night, he will have no face to see them.
didn't seem to notice Nangong Qing's stunned, Queen Wang is the master of the harem, but after all, she is a woman, once Emperor Xichu falls, she will also have no master. Now that Nangong Qing is here, he is still her most trusted son, as if he has the backbone of the heart, and looks at him anxiously: "Qing'er, the imperial doctor has already treated your father, saying that he just stabbed the viscera, and your father was bleeding heavily and caused a coma, although he was prescribed medicine, he couldn't eat it at all." The Imperial Doctor said that if your father can't wake up tonight, then it's really ......."
"There's no hope...... "I cried, and Queen Wang looked at Nangong Qing pitifully: "Qing'er, what do you say you should do?" Your father can't die, if something happens to him, what will happen to the queen mother, what should you do? What about the Western Chu Kingdom? ”
Shocked, Nangong Qing turned around stiffly and looked at Emperor Xichu who was unconscious with his eyes closed on the dragon bed.
Yes, his father must not die, if he dies, the entire Western Chu will be in chaos.
Not to mention whether Nalan Ye will take the opportunity to seize the throne and avenge Luo Qingluan, even if he doesn't care about handing over Xichu to Nalan Ye, the other courtiers are absolutely unwilling. and his fifth brother Nangong Chen, Song Guifei, who is usually obedient to his father, how do you know that they will take the opportunity to make trouble?
Besides, North Vietnam and Southern Wei are eyeing each other, and it is impossible to say whether Dongwan will even intervene, once Emperor Western Chu falls, when the heir is not announced, I am afraid that it will really come to the most critical time.
"Nope! The father must be fine, don't worry about the queen mother, there are still sons. At this moment, Nangong Qing seemed to have a heavy burden on his shoulders, but he had to pick it up, even if he let him die, he would definitely persevere.
"But your father is like this, how can the queen mother rest assured?"
Queen Wang was not comforted by Nangong Qing's words, shook her head and said, "The imperial doctor has already said that if your father can't wake up tonight, he really won't be able to return to heaven." Although the news has not spread yet, how many days can it be hidden? Alas, it would be nice if Qingluan was here, her medical skills are so good, but it's a pity that it's because of your father's ......"
Luo Qingluan! Medicine......
Hearing this, Nangong Qing suddenly remembered something, although his mother thought that Luo Qingluan was dead, but he knew that Luo Qingluan was fine at all, and he was in Jiangbei County at this time. And...... Although she didn't have time to rush back, he had already received her medicine just now, a solid medicine for healing, if it was given to his father, it would definitely have an effect!
The more I thought about it, the more excited I became, and the worry in Nangong Qing's heart disappeared in an instant.
The hand couldn't help but press on his chest, and there was the pill here, which Luo Qingluan asked him to hand over to Nalan Ye to treat his injuries. Luo Qingluan is so good and cares so much about Nalan Ye, the medicine must be the best, if he gives this medicine to his father, I'm afraid it will definitely turn the corner, right?
Noticing Nangong Qing's appearance, Queen Wang looked at him worriedly: "Qing'er, what's wrong with you, is there a way?" ”
"Mother, Child......"
I really wanted to say that I had medicine on my body that could treat my father, but when the words came to my mouth, Nangong Qing couldn't say it. He obviously knew that Luo Qingluan trusted him and asked him to give it to Nalan Ye to heal, how could he give this medicine to his father? If Luo Qingluan and Nalan Ye knew, wouldn't they be very disappointed?
But...... If he didn't give his father medicine, if his father really couldn't wake up, then ......
This consequence was simply unimaginable to Nangong Qing, his tangled hands trembled, his heart was fiercely fighting, and the queen who watched it was anxious: "Qing'er, what's wrong with you, don't you scare the queen mother?" ”
Queen Wang's words full of fear, listening to Nangong Qing's ears, were no less than throwing a boulder into his tumbling heart, which completely dispelled all his concerns.
This medicine must be given to my father!
Xichu must not be chaotic, and the father will definitely not die, otherwise the consequences are unimaginable. Even if Luo Qingluan knows to blame him in the future, then he will bear it himself. Fortunately, Nalan Ye's injuries were not life-threatening, and the last time he went to see it, although it was very serious, it was much better than his father's urgent situation.
Nangong Qing kept comforting himself, after treating his father, he immediately gave Luo Qingluan another letter and asked her to hurry up and prepare it again, it is estimated that if it is delayed for two days, Yu Nalanye's injury will not have much impact, right?
"Queen Mother, the child is fine."
Nangong Qing finally made up his mind and turned his heart sideways: "I suddenly remembered that I happened to have a medicine on my body, which was configured by Princess Chu before, and it is estimated that I can save my father." ”
"Really?" The queen was overjoyed.
Nangong Qing nodded, took out the pill from his arms, and firmly put it into the mouth of Emperor Xichu.
