Chapter 625: The dragon dwells in the mud
"Third brother, why is my heart beating suddenly!" In the woods, King Jing looked around, very worried.
King Chen smiled: "If you don't jump, something will happen, and if you don't jump, won't you die?" ”
"Third brother, what did you say about the eldest brother...... He wouldn't really have the heart to kill his father, would he? I thought about it carefully, and I always felt that it wouldn't be like this......" King Jing was very entangled in his heart, and for a while felt that with his eldest brother's confused and ruthless temperament, he would really do this. But for a while, I felt that after all, father and son were connected by blood, so how could they not kill their father? This kind of thing can be done, is that still human?
But...... He has not heard some rumors about his father, and it is said that his father was ......
Whether the eldest brother will commit a patricide or not, King Chen is not sure, so he really can't answer King Jing. When it was quiet, I saw Li Zhonggui walking towards this side. King Chen expected that Li Zhonggui would not go for too long, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.
Seeing Li Zhonggui bowing, he said, "Your Highness, Your Majesty invites your Royal Highness to enter the Chengtian Pavilion to speak." ”
King Chen and King Jing glanced at each other, King Chen nodded, and said, "Okay." ”
In fact, now that time is pressing, there is no time to enter the Chengtian Pavilion to delay. The eldest brother's side has now planned for now, and at the latest, he will definitely act. But then at the latest. The deeper the night, the stricter the guards, and the eldest brother is not unaware of this, and the turn of the night and the hour is the time when the guards change shifts and the defense is the loosest. And now, it's six o'clock. If the eldest brother makes a move during the shift change, they will delay in the Chengtian Pavilion for a while and come out, but it will put the father in crisis.
But since their father let them in, they couldn't say that they wouldn't see him, so they could only meet their father and emperor as soon as possible and then make a decision.
King Chen and King Jing quickly stepped into the Chengtian Pavilion, and at this time, there was still no light in the Chengtian Pavilion, and only by the moonlight could they see the situation inside. A hazy crescent moon hangs in the sky, even outside, and there is no special brightness, let alone in the house?
King Chen saw that the bed curtain was hanging, and he was just about to say hello to the emperor, so he listened closely to Li Zhonggui, who came in later, and said, "Your Highness, please come with the servants." ”
Li Zhonggui said, he had already walked to the small study first, and made a "please" gesture to King Chen.
King Chen and King Jing glanced at each other, obviously feeling a little surprised, because there was no one in the small study.
Li Zhonggui cautiously glanced out of the window, and saw that there was no one outside the window, so he went to the cabinet on the west wall and turned the second of the four glass bottles in a row, and then, after the cabinet, there was a soft sound. Inside, the white wall had become a secret door, and the door had been opened.
Seeing this, is there anything else that King Chen and King Jing don't understand? Naturally, I knew that my father had been prepared and had already hid in the secret room. The reason why there is so little to show outside, I am afraid that I want to see what will happen tonight. I want to see who these sons are going to rebel against.
As Li Zhonggui entered the secret passage, he saw that inside the secret passage, oil lamps were lit on the two walls, and the situation inside was clearly visible. I saw that my father was only lying on a mattress, covered with a thick quilt, and his face was pale. He didn't open his eyes when he heard the door open, but waited for them to get closer, and then he opened his eyes to look at them.
As soon as they saw the situation in the secret passage, King Chen and King Jing were shocked, their steps were heavy and slow, and they hardly knew how they got to their father's side.
"Father's ......" was completely instinctive, King Chen knelt down in a daze, and choked up, "Father and Emperor have suffered......"
Obviously, when he and the fourth child left, his father was fine, why did he suddenly become like this now? Father's face was terrifyingly white, and the whole person looked at him without a trace of anger. It's like an oil lamp that is about to burn out. Unexpectedly...... It exudes a dying breath.
King Jing also knelt down with King Chen, choked up and said heavily: "When the ministers left, my father was fine, why was the arrow wound so serious?" ”
By the light of the oil lamp, the emperor clearly saw that there were tears rolling in the eyes of his two sons. The man doesn't flick when he has tears, and his son is naturally the strongest man in the world. But at this time, the eyes of the third and fourth children were so obvious with tears.
Seeing this, the emperor's heart finally had some comfort.
King Chen and King Jing saw that their father had fallen into such a situation, but they felt that a heavy boulder was pressing on their hearts, and they were unspeakably uncomfortable. I don't want my father to think that they are too emotional, but it is my father who is so downcast in front of him! And he is the king who has always been high. Since I can remember, I have never seen my father look so haggard, and I have never seen my father fall into such a situation.
What was the reason for my father's despair in just a few hours? If it weren't for seeing their father open his eyes, when they walked over, they would have thought that their father had ...... Died......
"Father, what the hell is going on?" Seeing his father's situation, King Chen forgot to leave in a hurry for a while, and only cared about his father's situation.
The imperial concubine choked up and said, "The tip of that arrow is poisonous, and it took three hours to send it out." Fortunately, Imperial Physician Sun had already seen the poison and gave His Majesty an antidote first, so that His Majesty would not ...... Not to ......"
The imperial concubine didn't dare to continue, in front of her son, the reason and strength she had supported had completely collapsed, and she choked even more.
Li Zhonggui also knew that time was pressing, so he hurriedly continued: "But Imperial Doctor Sun's antidote is not a good thing, and His Majesty's internal organs have been damaged, and it has reached such a situation. According to Imperial Physician Sun, it takes three or five years to recuperate...... With His Majesty's current body, how can he withstand the rush of cars and horses? There is no way but to deign to recuperate for a while in this secret passage. ”
As he spoke, Li Zhonggui couldn't help but choke up.
Hearing that their emotions were so out of control, King Chen woke up instead. At this time, everyone naturally feels uncomfortable, but if everyone is so immersed in grief, what can be done? Could it be true that the big brother is going to succeed?
King Chen tried his best to put away his grief and asked as calmly as possible, "Father is here, but you also know the eldest brother's plan?" ”
Even though he tried his best to steady his voice, he still inevitably had a slight choked sound.
The secret passage is closed, and everyone's voice is low, but it is this low grief that makes the atmosphere even more poignant. Obviously, the country is still there, the mountains and rivers are still there, and in this situation, there is a feeling that the country is broken. It's obviously just a family infighting in the royal family of the Wind Country, and there is a feeling of being invaded by foreign enemies, defeated and forced to a corner.
Family harmony, everything can be prosperous, this is true. In this situation, King Chen even regretted fighting with his eldest brother. Whatever the eldest brother wants, give it to him! Originally, the younger brother should respect the elder brother, and there is nothing wrong with this. Why does he want to fight with his eldest brother, why does he want to rob with his eldest brother? Why...... Isn't it because of the situation?
Since the father has already made the eldest brother the crown prince, why can't he trust the eldest brother wholeheartedly? Why do you want to support him to deal with the Zhou family and contain the eldest brother? Since he already has the intention of supporting him, why can't he give his eldest brother a happy one? Why can't he just make him the crown prince, completely breaking the idea of the eldest brother's resurrection?
The eldest brother is a minister and a son, why should he disobey his father? Why do you want to follow your grandfather's house with your elbows outward? Why......
The answer is very clear, just because of two words - royal.
These two words are the most glorious in the world, but they are also the most ruthless in the world.
The emperor's weak, painful voice sounded: "I ...... I can't do it if I don't want to know...... With such a poisonous hand, he wants me to die...... How could I not have prevented it sooner? ”
The emperor's voice was extremely heavy......
"If your eldest brother really makes any big moves tonight, the father-son relationship between me and him will be over."
In fact, as early as when the eldest brother ordered someone to shoot this poisonous arrow at his father, the father-son relationship between the eldest brother and his father had already ended. But until this moment, my father still has hope and is still giving his eldest brother a chance...... Father, it's not that it's not their sons! It's just that it's not delicately expressed.
Is it because of the relationship between father and son, they have always blamed their father?
"Father, time is pressing, and it is inconvenient for my sons to stay here longer. If it's calm tonight, it's good, but if there's something going on tonight...... Under the bed of the Huixian Residence of the sons, there is a secret passage that leads to the Rinlang Pavilion in Kyoto City. It's just that the secret passage is narrow, not as wide as the secret passage of the father. But if this secret passage is inconvenient, the father must leave through the secret passage in Huixian's residence. Thousands ......"
King Chen instructed, got up, gave a deep salute to the emperor and the imperial concubine, and said bitterly: "The autumn night is tight, and the father and mother will rest here, don't worry about the wind outside." With the sons and the fourth child here, we will definitely do our best to win a peaceful situation. ”
The imperial concubine wiped her tears, got up suddenly, grabbed King Chen's hand tightly, and said, "My son...... You don't go out either, you don't go out...... Your father has already explained, and there are Imperial Guards outside to deal with it, so it will be fine. ”
Why doesn't King Chen want to stay? He is not greedy for life and afraid of death, but only leaves his father and mother here, and he is not at ease. But he couldn't stay! Putting aside people's hearts, if there is no master in the other garden who can take charge of things when the incident starts, it will inevitably make people's hearts panic, and they are afraid that they will be defeated without a fight.
He didn't want to be presumptuous, he knew that he, the fourth, and the fifth, among the three, only he had the highest prestige. If the father is not there, only he can make people's hearts feel at ease when he is outside. The prestige of the fourth and fifth children does not have the ability to stabilize people's hearts. And in addition to the eldest brother, of the three of them, he is the elder brother. As an elder brother, how can there be a reason to let the younger brother go back to danger?
King Chen gently broke free of his mother's hand and said, "Don't worry, mother, since there is the Royal Forest Army outside, the retainer will be fine." It's just that the Royal Forest Army must have a master in charge, so that they will not panic, and the retainers can't help but go. ”
King Chen turned around and said to King Jing: "Fourth, you stay behind to take care of your father and mother." Once there is any danger in this secret passage, the safety of the father and the mother depends on you. ”
deliberately said that the responsibility was quite heavy, so that the fourth child should come down. But the fourth brother still didn't think about it and said resolutely: "Third brother, I'll follow you!" It's going to be fine here. Who can find such a hidden secret passage? What's more, this secret passage was originally closed, and if I stayed here, wouldn't it make more trouble for my father and mother? I'm going out with you. ”
As King Jing spoke, he saluted his father and imperial concubine, and said solemnly: "Father, mother...... Be sure to cherish it. ”
After speaking, he pulled his third brother and walked out of the secret passage......
