Chapter 57: Growing Together

Chu Xianxian didn't have much impression of this emperor of the Daning Kingdom in his mind, but in terms of age, he couldn't be the image of a dying old man, and he was also a dying old man.

Xiao Zhengyuan is no more than in his early fifties, but now his hair is gray, his face is full of wrinkles, and even his pupils have become unnormal gray-white.

In this case, everyone can see that he is sick, but the cause of the disease has stumped dozens of imperial doctors in the palace.

All the diagnoses given by the doctors are irreversible and incurable for aging caused by overwork.

Even if I use the best medicine in the palace every day and eat the most precious rare supplements in the world, it still doesn't help.

What is rare is that Xiao Zhengyuan is not a tyrant, and he is not angry with the imperial doctor because of this, most of the time he lies quietly on the dragon couch, as if he is waiting for death.

Chu Xianxian looked at his slightly empty eyes, and before he could turn his gaze, he first quietly stuck to Xiao Yebei and gently poked his back with his fingers.

That place in Xiao Yebei was particularly sensitive, even if it was just a light, it was like a thunderstorm to him.

Feeling that the other party's back stiffened slightly, the cold gaze immediately turned over.

Chu Xian Xian glanced around the room, and when she saw that no one was paying attention to her, she boldly asked with her lips, "What did you do?" ”

"......" Xiao Yebei's face was visibly cold to the naked eye, and two flames burst out of his phoenix eyes in an instant.

Chu Xianxian was very surprised to understand what he meant, and raised one side of his eyebrows and said, "Then you, if you want to die or live?" ”

This time, Xiao Yebei stopped directly, and Chu Xianxian paused, trying to look up at him.

Xiao Yebei's expression was obviously saying: Do you want to die?

Chu Xianxian's back tightened when he saw it, and he stiffened his head and said silently: "I understand, don't be nervous, I'll just ask!" ”

Crazy? Before Xiao Yebei could figure out what he meant, Gonggong Qu followed in a panic.

When they passed by the two of them, they nodded and said hello, and then hurriedly walked to the couch and said softly: "Your Majesty, the prince is here!" ”

Xiao Zhengyuan's cloudy eyes turned in the direction he was speaking, and he looked a little surprised and said, "Coming?" Why am I ......? Didn't hear? ”

Gonggong Qu explained: "The prince must be afraid of disturbing the emperor, so his steps are extremely light!" ”

"Ahh Xiao Zhengyuan nodded clearly, stretched out the withered branch-like hand from the quilt slowly, and said with some effort on his white lips: "Seventeen, you come!" ”

Xiao Yebei ranked seventeenth among the heirs of the first emperor, and Xiao Zhengyuan directly called his rank.

Xiao Yebei took a few steps forward unhurriedly, glanced at the hand, but didn't make the next move, just replied: "What does the imperial brother command?" ”

Hearing this, Xiao Zhengyuan suddenly smiled bitterly for some reason, and slowly put his hand back, he said, "I can't talk about it, it's today...... Concubine Min came to me to cry, and I also asked the queen just now, alas......"

Xiao Zhengyuan didn't seem to say anything, but in fact, he said everything.

Concubine Min is Wen Min, Wen Ying's own sister, what else can she say when she comes to cry?

Xiao Yebei sneered: "I didn't expect that Concubine Min would come to alarm the imperial brother for such a trivial matter!" ”

"Ahem, cough, cough......" Xiao Zhengyuan coughed twice, Gonggong Qu hurriedly brought a glass of water and fed it a few sips, and only then did he ease up, and then continued after a long time: "I don't care who you detain, I care about the General's Mansion!" ”

"Today...... My love will still fight bravely thousands of miles away, defending the country for me, he trusts his small family to me so trustingly, but I can't help him take care of it, cough cough cough ......"

"I actually let such a thing happen, I'm ashamed of Chu Zhao! cough cough cough ......" Xiao Zhengyuan stared straight at the beam of the house with his eyes, and he didn't know if he could see anything.

Xiao Yebei's eyes crossed a touch of imperceptible sadness, and his thin lips opened slightly, but he was about to speak, but he was snatched by Chu Xianxian and said: "Don't be sad, don't be sad, the courtiers will thank the emperor for their father and brother first." ”

A light and pleasant voice suddenly broke into the heavy atmosphere, which made people very comfortable.

Xiao Zhengyuan's gray eyes followed the prestige, his gaze roughly stopped on Chu Xianxian, and said with a slight surprise in his tone: "If I heard correctly, you should be Chu Zhao's daughter Chu Xianxian, right?" ”

"It's the courtier!" Chu Xianxian replied generously: "The courtiers first want to have the courage to explain to the emperor today, and at the same time ask the emperor for a crime on behalf of my father, and ask the emperor not to blame him for his poor discipline and let such a thing happen in the house!" ”

"Eh, girl, that's not right! Your father has been guarding the border for me all the year round, how can he know about the affairs of the family, and how can I blame him? ”

"The emperor is wise!" Chu Xianxian didn't allow him to say anything further, and followed closely with his articulate voice: "Secondly, the courtiers also want to ask for a favor for themselves. Although I don't know what versions the emperor heard about the courtiers, I still have to say that the courtiers did something wrong with the previous things. can only blame it on being young and ignorant at that time, and being spoiled by my father and brother. ”

But now, the courtiers have suddenly woken up under the advice of the prince, and they have finally found out about the affairs of the family. Of course, if his father knows about these things, he may be sad, but the courtiers feel that according to their father's temperament, he will definitely deal with them impartially like the prince, and the emperor should know him better than the courtiers! ”

"Also, the queen mother also said just now that the Son of Heaven is still guilty of the same crime as the common people, and the courtiers believe that this sentence is still useful in our dignified Daning Kingdom. What does the emperor think? ”

Xiao Zhengyuan was already half-dead, and he barely had the strength to say so much after being fed a bowl of ginseng soup by the queen, but now he was so angry by Chu Xianxian's words that he almost didn't get angry.

I heard that this girl has grown a little recently, how did she grow?

Xiao Zhengyuan didn't catch his breath for a while, and coughed violently again.

Gonggong Qu and the palace people waiting next to him were frightened, and seeing that drinking water was useless, they hurriedly asked people to call the imperial doctor.

Chu Xianxian glanced at Xiao Yebei, and saw that the latter was still as calm as a dog, and even glanced at her leisurely with her afterglow, so she understood what to do.

She stepped forward a few steps, pressed Gonggong Qu's shoulder, and smiled kindly: "Father-in-law, don't panic, I'll come!" ”

Gonggong Qu thought he had heard it wrong, so he didn't react for a while, stared at her and said, "You, you're coming?" What are you coming for? ”

Chu Xianxian pushed him aside, took out a clean handkerchief from his arms with his backhand, and pressed the thumb of his right hand on the Tiantu acupoint on Xiao Zhengyuan's neck unexpectedly through the handkerchief.

Her technique is precise and ruthless, but because of the sensitivity of this acupuncture point, it really scared Qu Gonggong and others enough.

only heard the sound of Gonggong Qu's "oops", both legs were weak, and he almost ran towards her with his hands and feet, and said, "Don't!" ”

Even Xiao Yebei narrowed his eyes in shock!
