Inside the Prince's Mansion.

In the rooms of the East Wing, the candles are lit up.

Huangfu Jin stood on the edge of the bed with a solemn face, and a pair of dark eyes stared straight at the unconscious young man on the couch.

The man is delicate, but his face is as pale as snow, his lips are as colored as paper, and even his arms stretched out of the quilt are thin and pale, and the whole person looks like a scholar who is powerless.

An old man with gray hair who was sitting on the edge of the couch to check his pulse had finished taking his pulse at this time, raised his eyes and glanced at the man on the bed, gently put the man's hand under the brocade quilt, shook his head and sighed.

"Imperial Doctor Dong, how is he?" Huangfu Jin immediately stepped forward and asked.

Imperial Physician Dong got up, bowed to Huangfu Jin, shook his head again, and said: "Back to the prince, this prince has a strange poison in his body, and the poisonous gas has invaded his internal organs, plus his internal injuries have not healed, and it has already reached the time when the oil is exhausted, and the old minister is really powerless. ”

"Is there no other way? He's so young that he can't think of anything else? Huangfu Jin's eyebrows twisted slightly, and he glanced at the man on the bed as he spoke.

Imperial Physician Dong shook his head.

Huangfu Jin lowered his eyes for a long time: "How much time do you have left?" ”

"Two months at most."

"Only two months?!"

Imperial Physician Dong turned his head to look at the man on the couch with his eyes closed, sighed, and said slowly: "If you don't recuperate well, I'm afraid that even these two months will be forced." ”

When Huangfu Jin heard this, his hanging hands clenched and opened slightly, and then he looked at Imperial Doctor Dong and said, "When will he wake up?" ”

"The old minister has already performed an acupuncture for him just now, and if there is no accident, he will wake up soon. It's just that he was depressed, and his heart was constantly thinking, and he was afraid that he would be in a coma for longer and longer in the future, until he ......"

"This king knows, there is Imperial Doctor Lao Dong who runs this trip late at night."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is polite, and in this way, the old minister will retire."

"Mo Ling! Let the sedan chair in Fuzhong send Imperial Doctor Dong back. ”

Mo Ling, who was outside the door, entered in response to the voice, stood by the door and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of please: "Imperial Doctor Dong, please." ”

Imperial Physician Dong bowed to Huangfu Jin again, retreated with Mo Ling one after another, and closed the door with him when he left.

Huang Fujin sat alone at the round table in the room, his two clear eyebrows were slightly twisted, and a pair of black eyes stared closely at the delicate and pale face of the man on the couch, and the bottom of his eyes was bright and obscure.

At this moment, the man's eyelashes trembled violently, his eyes moved rapidly under his closed eyelids, cold sweat was dripping on his forehead, his hands were clenched into fists, and he screamed hoarsely: "Father...... Eldest brother...... Third Sister!! He sat up suddenly, gasping for air.

Because he stood up too violently, his long hair hung down from his forehead, covering his entire face.

After a while, he raised his head slightly, and in the gaps in the scattered hair, his eyes were faintly scarlet, and his face was as pale as snow.

He looked at the pale golden curtain in front of him for a moment, and then, as if suddenly remembering something, stretched out his thin, pale fingers and stroked his cheek. When the touch on his hand was no longer the cold black iron mask, his fingers stiffened, and he suddenly turned his head to scan the surroundings.

Huang Fujin watched the man's fierce reaction, slowly turned up, walked to the side of the bed, and said softly, "Are you awake?" ”

When the man heard this, he suddenly raised his head, and the moment he saw Huangfu Jin, he quickly calmed down, cracked the corners of his pale lips, and said lightly: "His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"Major General."

Hearing this, the young man's fingers on the outside of the brocade quilt suddenly stiffened, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and then instantly covered with a layer of pain, and then this pain became darker and darker, and more and more faint, until there was no wave in a pair of clear eyes, and there was no trace of other emotions.

After a long time, he looked at Huangfu Jin, opened his lips lightly, and his low and hoarse voice came again: "How is she?" ”

"Shangguan girl, she is very good, there is no danger, her father Teen allowed her to keep the title of general, temporarily live in King Chen's Mansion, and are not allowed to return to the army." Huangfu Jin stared at the man on the couch tightly, "Young General, this is already the best result." ”

Hearing this, the man's face remained unchanged, he leaned lightly on the couch, rolled his Adam's apple, lowered his eyes slightly, and said in a hoarse voice: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally went out to the horse, naturally he can keep the third sister safe, Ji Yang thanked me here." It's just that I'm sick and weak now, and I've long since broken off with the royal family of Nanchi, and I'm no longer the major general of Nanchi, and I ask Your Highness not to call me that in the future. ”

"Who didn't know that the second son of the Shangguan family had a flying temperament, used soldiers like a god, was a young general, and fought in all directions with his eldest brother Shangguan Jifeng, and his prestige was ......"

Before Huangfu Jin finished speaking, Shangguan Jiyang closed his clear eyes tightly, his body trembled slightly, and he shouted hoarsely: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't say it again!" ”

Huangfu Jin was stunned for a moment, stopped talking, looked at Shangguan Jiyang, who was extremely depressed, and was silent for a long time, finally sighed, turned around and sat down on the stool next to the table, turned his back to him and said slowly: "I'm sorry......"

"Excuse me?! What are you sorry for?! Shangguan Jiyang suddenly looked up to the sky and sneered a few times, and the laughter revealed endless sorrow.

He opened his eyes suddenly, his gaze was as cold as ice, and he shot straight at Huangfu Jin's back. Because of the agitation of emotions in his heart, his originally pale cheeks were also slightly red, and his tone became more and more passionate, so that in the end, he burst into tears, "My Protector's Mansion was already walking on thin ice above the court, if you hadn't written that letter in your own hand, and sent a shadow guard to send it to Nanchi, and it just fell into the hands of Situ Rui, why would my Shangguan Mansion suffer such a catastrophe?" You say sorry lightly, can you be worthy of the five hundred loyal souls of my Shangguan Mansion?! Can I bring my father, mother, and eldest brother back from the dead?! Can you beat the pain and suffering of my third sister and fourth brother?! ”

Huangfu Jin's body stiffened, and he slowly turned around to look at Shangguan Jiyang, who was already almost crazy on the couch, rolled his Adam's apple, opened his mouth, and finally said nothing.

He had long known that the Nanchi royal family had been afraid of Shangguan Mansion for a long time, but he had no chance to make a move. The tyranny of Nanchi, Beicang will send troops to the south soon, he admires the loyalty of Shangguanfu even more, and does not want Shangguanfu to face Beicang Iron Cavalry head-on, making senseless sacrifices. After thinking about it for a long time, he wrote a letter to tell all the general trends in the world, and sent Yingwei to sneak into Nanchi, hoping that Shangguan Mansion would make plans as soon as possible.

He didn't expect to be able to say that he would be able to surrender a martyr with a letter, but at least he could make the Shangguan Mansion recognize the reality and withdraw from the government and the opposition. But he didn't expect that his handwritten letter turned out to be a talisman for Shangguan Manmen, which happened to fulfill the Nanchi royal family, giving them the best excuse and indirectly harming Shangguan Manmen's life.

Now that this is the case, what else can he say? Regardless of whether his intentions were good or bad, the result was bloody here. Overnight, the Shangguan Mansion was full of loyal martyrs, and he was also burdened with the shame of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country. Just like Shangguan Jiyang said, no matter what he does, he can't make up for the big mistakes he made.
