Chapter 248: Father's Kindness and Son's Filial Piety

"You say, will he really attack the emperor?" Xiao Xi raised his hand slightly, casually caught a piece of pink petals, his voice was cold, and the tips of his slender eyebrows moved slightly.

"What do you think?" Chu Xizhi sat next to Xiao Xiwei, stretched out his hand to take her into his arms, and gently rubbed a strand of green silk with his right hand.

Xiao Xi raised her head slightly, and what she saw was a pair of deep pupils, the pupils flashed with sparkling waves, the eyebrows, the outline, as if someone had already carved a knife on her chest, even if she closed her eyes, every fluctuation in his eyes, every smile at the corner of his mouth was clearly engraved in her heart, as if carved into her bones and blood.

She looked at Chu Xizhi, for a long time, she suddenly reached out to hook his neck, and her voice sounded in his chest in a low voice, "Xizhi, I just feel sorry for you......"

She felt sorry for him, and she was even more worthless to him.

It's also the emperor's bloodline, but the emperor's heart is so powerful? The so-called love and grace over the years are just an illusion to help Chu Yan ascend to the throne, but it is a pity that he has sincerely put his father in his heart all these years, how sour should he be in his heart after knowing these truths? But the high emperor, he tried his best to calculate and support the son of the upper position to stabilize his position step by step, and after holding the power, he decided to attack him without hesitation, I don't know what kind of mood the emperor felt when he knew all this? Will you regret what you have done to cherish it all these years?

"Fool." Chu Xizhi stretched out his hand and rubbed Xiao Xiwei's hair, his voice was soft, as if the breeze of early spring was gently blowing, and the tip of his nose was surrounded by a piece of peach fragrance.

……

Chongde Hall.

Maybe it was because of Yan Guifei's words last time, the emperor was alert, and he rewarded most of the pills sent in the past few days to the little eunuch below, but he didn't see anything happen to the little eunuch for several days, and he felt that he was suspicious for a while, plus he didn't take the pills for days, he always felt that his body was heavy, and he felt powerless to do that thing, so when the little eunuch offered the pills again on this day, he hesitated.

Just as the emperor was hesitating, the slightly shrill voice of the eunuch suddenly sounded outside the hall, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived." ”

The emperor's brows furrowed, and then a very light sneer crossed the corner of his mouth.

It just came at the right time, and there were some things he had to ask him face-to-face.

"The son of the emperor greets his father." One of Chu Yan entered the house and saluted the emperor.

"Get up." The emperor raised his hand lightly, his face was not shocked, and he couldn't see anything.

"His Royal Highness the Prince." The Xiang concubine who was standing beside the emperor smiled and blessed Chu Yanzhi.

The corners of Chu Yanzhi's mouth hooked slightly, raised his hand slightly, and said with a smile, "Concubine Xiang is also here." ”

Concubine Xiang smiled, then took two steps forward to bless the emperor, and said softly, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must have something to discuss with His Majesty, so the concubine will retire first." ”

Although there is no problem with the pills that have been paid tribute in the past few days, the emperor is suspicious because of Concubine Yan's words, yes, Concubine Xiang said this, the emperor didn't want to think about it, and said, "It's okay, you stay here." ”

Although there are many concubines in the harem now, none of them can be trusted by him. There is only one concubine, because she was a palace maid in front of him and has been waiting by his side earlier, so he is more or less willing to listen to her say a few words.

"Yes." Concubine Xiang bowed her head and bowed her body respectfully, and then quietly stepped aside.

It seems that his suspicious father is really suspicious of him.

A sneer flashed quickly under Chu Yan's eyes, but his face looked very respectful and peaceful, and he didn't seem to be affected by the emperor's words at all.

"Erchen heard that his father has not taken the pill sent by Zhang Xianren in recent days, and Erchen is worried, so he came to see his father." Chu Yanzhi raised his hand and said respectfully to the emperor.

The emperor was originally suspicious of this elixir, and originally wanted to find an opportunity to ask him, but he didn't think that Chu Yanzhi himself would speak first, so he immediately followed his words and said, "I have heard some rumors in recent days......

"The rumors that my father said are about King Yan?" Chu Yanzhi cut off the emperor's words with a faint smile, and his deep eyes stared at the emperor silently, without the slightest dodge.

was asked so bluntly by Chu Yanzhi, the emperor was stunned, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Catching a glimpse of the emperor, Chu Yanzhi lowered his eyes and smiled, with a little bitterness on his face, and even his voice was a little hoarse, "Father and emperor would ask like this, isn't it suspicious?" ”

The emperor frowned, pursed the corners of his mouth and didn't answer Chu Yanzhi's words, but stared at him coldly, as if he wanted to see through this son who he had picked up with one hand.

Seeing that the emperor didn't answer, Chu Yanzhi smiled bitterly, "Father and Emperor don't take the pill sent by Zhang Xianren, it can be seen that he is really suspicious of his sons......" Speaking of this, Chu Yanzhi paused, and then looked up at the emperor and said with a smile, "Father and Emperor have rewarded the pills to the minions in the past few days, I don't know if those minions are still alive?" ”

The emperor was stunned, then raised his eyebrows, and his voice sank, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Chu Yanzhi smiled self-deprecatingly, and then looked at the white jade porcelain bottle held in the hand of the eunuch next to him, the white jade porcelain bottle contained the pill that had just been presented, "It seems that my father has never taken the pill today, and he has not let people try the pill, so why don't I let my son try this pill for my father, how about it?" ”

"You ......"

As soon as the emperor said a word, Chu Yanzhi had already walked towards the little eunuch, and reached out to take the white jade porcelain bottle he was holding in his hand, and just as he was about to touch the white jade porcelain bottle, a slender hand rushed to take the porcelain bottle first.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't have to be like this, His Majesty has been in a depressed mood recently, so he didn't take the pill sent by Immortal Zhang, not because he suspected His Highness." Concubine Xiang held the white jade porcelain bottle in her hand, looked at Chu Yanzhi with a smile and said softly.

Looking at Concubine Xiang's sudden move, Chu Yanzhi frowned, and a trace of coldness and suspicion crossed his bottomless eyes.

From a small palace maid to today's concubine, Concubine Xiang is obviously not a mediocre woman, he doesn't believe that she has no doubts about the cause of the little prince's death, but she is not moved at all, she follows the emperor gently and obediently, and does not say a word about the little prince, but the more she doesn't mention it, it means that the hatred in her heart is deeper and heavier, so it is really hard for him to believe that at this time, Concubine Xiang will be so kind to speak for him in front of his suspicious father.

"Didn't someone say something in front of my father?" Chu Yanzhi stared at Concubine Xiang and said coldly.

Concubine Xiang smiled lightly, "I don't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is referring to......"

"What, hasn't Concubine Xiang been waiting by her father's side? Why, don't you know who is coming in from the Chongde Temple? Chu Yanzhi stared coldly at Concubine Xiang and said.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not referring to...... Yan Guifei? ”

"You said it?"

Concubine Xiang blessed her sideways, and said smoothly, "Your Highness, Concubine Yan has indeed come to the Chongde Palace, and the concubine has indeed chatted with Concubine Yan for a few words, but when Concubine Yan talked to His Majesty, the concubine was not waiting by her side, so what did Concubine Yan say to Your Majesty, the concubine really didn't know." ”

"Haven't Concubine Xiang heard anything in the palace these days?"

Concubine Xiang blessed her body again, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince forgives the sin, the concubine really doesn't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants the concubine to say?" ”

Chu Yanzhi sneered, and was about to speak, but an unhappy voice sounded at this time.

"Okay, if you have anything to say, you don't have to beat around the bush."

As soon as these words came out, Chu Yanzhi had to take his eyes off Concubine Xiang, he knelt on the ground, and solemnly bowed to the emperor, then looked up at him and said, "Father, the son just wants to hear what you have to say." In your mind, where do you put your sons? Others only say that Erchen is your most valued and distressed son, but why does Erchen feel that in your heart, Erchen is no different from others? ”

"Are you accusing me?" The emperor stared coldly at Chu Yan's way.

"Erchen doesn't dare." Chu Yanzhi hurriedly bowed his head and kowtowed again, "Erchen may as well reveal his heart to his father here today, Erchen is indeed jealous and even suspicious of his father." Although the father's dedication to his sons is vivid, but the former prince, King Yan, King Qin, which of them is not the biological flesh and blood of the father, but they were abandoned by the father and the emperor, although all this is for the son, but the son-in-law is also palpitating! Father, the son knows that the son is not filial to say this, but he ...... Erchen is really scared! You have never really believed in your sons, no matter in the past, even this time with only a few specious words from Concubine Yan, you are so suspicious of your sons, and your sons want to know, if Chu regrets that he is really not dead, his father ...... Father, are you really planning to abolish your sons......" As soon as Chu Xi's words fell, a long string of tears rolled down.

"Yan Zhi ......" The emperor's originally cold gaze was smashed by Chu Yanzhi's sudden tears, and his originally cold heart seemed to be corroded by these tears, and a full of distress overflowed from it.

How long had he not seen his son cry in front of him? Last time, it seems to be when Baozhu died......

"Father, you have forgotten that the path that your sons are taking today is what you chose for your sons!"

Yes......

The path he is taking today is what he himself chose for him.

He is his most beloved son!

"Inkstone." For a long time, the emperor slowly closed his eyes, for a long time, as if he had made up his mind, his voice carried a deep tiredness, "Since I have established you, I will not abolish you, you are the one who supported you with my own hands, I will not abolish you." You will always be my favorite son, and this will not change because of anyone. ”

Even if it's a pity that it's really alive......

He's old and can't toss anymore, that's it, that's it......

After all, he is his son and of the jewel!

"Father, the emperor's ......" seemed to be moved by the emperor's words, Chu Yanzhi excitedly knelt forward and reached out to hold the emperor's dry palm, his eyes were full of admiration, and the tears that had just stopped fell again.

"Silly boy."

Looking at this face like a jewel, the emperor reached out and patted his palm, and shouted dotingly, as if he was really just an ordinary loving father at this moment, and this was a child in front of him who had suffered a lot of grievances. At this moment, the emperor completely forgot that the emperor's family, the so-called father's kindness and son's filial piety are just whitewashed peace on the surface, and the turbulent undercurrent below is quietly rolling in.
