Now that he has decided to leave, Huo Chen will explain everything, if he can't come back, it won't be too messy.
Chu Qing made the iron needle for Huo Chen, everything was ready, he had never said these things to outsiders.
On this day, the sun was fierce, it was the height of summer, and people felt a lot weaker.
Huo Chen was about to go on the road, but someone came to the palace and asked him to enter the palace to face the saint. Huo Chen was hesitating, but thinking that he didn't know if he could come back, he also changed his clothes and entered the palace.
The soldiers and horses of the wolf country are still stationed in Zengcheng, not advancing or retreating, and Emperor Qi Wen's heart has also settled down a lot, but he often discusses with the ministers how to repel the wolf country.
At this time, Emperor Qi Wen had just finished discussing with a few ministers, and Huo Chen had already walked in.
Emperor Qi Wen was a little tired, and when he saw Huo Chen, he also cheered up: "You're here?" ”
Incense was burning in the hall, and the smoke was rising, and I don't know whether it dispersed or coalesced again. But the taste is very sweet and fragrant, and it makes people's thoughts clearer.
Huo Chen bowed, and then replied: "I don't know what my father suddenly summoned his sons, what is it for?" ”
"Recently, I have seen that you have rarely been in court, and I am worried about your body." Emperor Qi Wen said, "Give the seat." ”
Father-in-law Xiang immediately ordered someone to move a chair and let Huo Chen sit down.
Huo Chen hesitated a little, but still sat down and said, "It's really wrong for my son to worry about my father." I'm afraid that my son will have to recuperate for a while, and my father doesn't have to worry. ”
Emperor Qi Wen glanced at him lightly, there was no emotion in his deep eyes, his temples were already gray, and he was tired, but this imperial position could not be easily abandoned.
"Emperor, the wolf country has been standing still, what is your opinion?" Emperor Qi Wen's words were related to the war, and it seemed that Emperor Qi Wen summoned Huo Chen into the palace for the sake of this.
At this time, a palace maid served hot tea and pastries and placed them in front of the small table.
Huo Chen didn't have the heart to taste the tea, and said directly: "Although the wolf country does not move, we must not take it lightly, Erchen has already laid out the defense line, and will definitely not let the wolf take another step." ”
Emperor Qi Wen nodded and said, "I have always believed in you. ”
"The retainers are terrified." Huo Chen hurriedly lowered his head.
"Your imperial brother is confused, only you can reassure me when you do things, if I don't have your right hand, I'm afraid this political matter will be difficult to handle." Emperor Qi Wen picked up the white jade teacup and took a sip of tea.
Huo Chen's voice was low, and he said, "The sons are not talented, and there are not many people who help their fathers. ”
"I can see what you can do, and you don't have to be presumptuous." Emperor Qi Wen smiled and waved his hand, glancing at the teacup on the small table next to Huo Chen, "This is the Longjing just before the rain, won't you try it, Emperor?" ”
Huo Chen turned his head to take a look, he picked up the teacup, blew the foam, and took a sip, sure enough, it was fragrant.
"It's been a hundred years since this Great Qi was destroyed, and I don't want to see the Great Qi destroyed in my hands." Emperor Qi Wen muttered.
"Daqi will be able to survive for thousands of generations, and my father doesn't need to worry." Huo Chen took another sip, and then put the teacup down.
Emperor Qi Wen's gaze stayed on the teacup, and after a long while, he said softly: "You are right, the Great Qi Jiangshan will definitely be able to survive for generations, and for this reason, I have no choice but to forcibly leave you behind." ”
Huo Chen was stunned, but he didn't react, and asked, "What does Father mean by this......
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly felt his body soften, and he couldn't lift any strength, and he felt that he had to use all his strength to speak.
How could it be?
Huo Chen had never tried this, and the only thought that flashed in his mind was that he had been poisoned!
Before entering the palace, he hadn't eaten anything, and only took a sip of tea at this time, his face was full of shock, staring at Emperor Qi Wen, and asked in disbelief: "Father, there is poison in the tea?" ”
Emperor Qi Wen's face was pale, and he looked at Huo Chen for a while, and then said, "Emperor, don't blame your father. ”
Huo Chen's chest slowly gathered anger, he couldn't imagine that his father would use this method on him, but he didn't feel anything unusual about the two sips of tea he drank just now.
Emperor Qi Wen seemed to see Huo Chen's doubts, and said, "There is no poison in the tea, but a medicine is added. Then he pointed to the smoker in the temple, "You smell the spice again, and the two things mix together, and then the medicine works." ”
Huo Chen is not an idle person, Emperor Qi Wen doesn't know how much effort it took to come up with this method.
Huo Chen looked at the smoker, and just now he thought that the fragrance was good, but now he felt that this smell was really disgusting.
He tried to stand up, but he couldn't do anything, although he was still awake, but his strength seemed to be drained.
With the last of his strength, he barely stood up, his face pale, his lips as red as roses.
But he wanted to take a step, it was almost a fool's dream, his body shook, his feet went limp, and he almost collapsed. Fortunately, Xiang's father-in-law was quick and hurriedly helped Huo Chen and asked Huo Chen to sit down again.
"Don't force yourself anymore, the effect of this medicine is difficult to fade." There was a trace of pity in Xiang's father-in-law's eyes.
Huo Chen coldly turned his head away, in this way, it was Emperor Qi Wen who wanted to forcibly keep him, so what should he do? Mu Wanqing is still waiting for him!
Emperor Qi Wen walked down slowly, with a hint of pain: "I don't know if you thought that it was I who sent Mu Wanqing to Wolf Ke." ”
Huo Chen was furious, staring at Emperor Qi Wen with a pair of cold eyes, and his voice squeezed out from between his clenched teeth: "Father, why are you doing this? ”
"Why?" Emperor Qi Wen asked rhetorically, "Do you want that woman to ruin the country of Great Qi?!" By doing so, I have tried my best to remedy it, but I have no choice but to do so! ”
Huo Chen slowly closed his eyes and listened quietly to Emperor Qi Wen's words.
Emperor Qi Wen sighed heavily: "I know that you want to save her, you asked Chu Qing to call someone to make iron needles, I know it clearly, you are obsessed now, so I have to let me wake you up." ”
"Father, the son is very sober." Huo Chen's thoughts were clear, but his body was weak and weak, this feeling was really terrifying, he felt that he was stuck in a swamp and couldn't use his strength.
"You're not sober!" Emperor Qi Wen roared angrily, "Among my sons, you are the most talented, and the throne belongs to you, and Great Qi still depends on you, so you naturally can't do anything." No matter how good Mu Wanqing is, it's just a red face, do you understand? Those who have achieved great things should learn to give up. ”
