After Xu Beiyou came out of the Flying Frost Palace, he went out of the palace with Xiao Zhinan and went to Han Xuan's mansion.

Han Xuan has been sick in the past few days, it's not a big problem, it's just that when he gets older, he has to work on state affairs, and it is inevitable that he has some headaches, brain fever, and lack of energy, Xiao Zhinan specially let him recuperate at home, so in addition to the big court meeting in the past few days, Han Xuan has not participated in the small court meeting after the big court meeting, and even the cabinet has gone less.

When the couple came to the inner room, Han Xuan was lying on a rosewood recliner with his eyes closed, with an ice towel on his forehead.

The steward walked over quickly, gently uncovered the ice towel on Han Xuan's forehead, and reported softly: "Elder Ge, the eldest prince and the princess have come down." ”

Han Xuan slowly opened his eyes and looked at the husband and wife standing at the door, with a smile on his face, and stretched out his hand, "It's Nangui and Zhinan, come in and sit." ”

Xu Beiyou didn't rush to move, he still stood at the door, respectfully and deeply.

Han Xuan slowly sat up from the recliner, "Nangui, what are you doing, I have heard about your affairs in Jiangnan, very good, really good." ”

Xu Beiyou straightened up and walked to Han Xuan's side, and helped him lie down slowly.

But in a moment, a little bead of sweat oozed from his forehead.

In the corner of the room, there is a golden basin, and there is a square ice in the basin, and the square ice has melted a little half, which is a golden basin of ice water, and several ice towels are soaked in the ice water.

Xu Beiyou reached out and touched Han Xuan's forehead, got up and took two ice towels from the golden basin, wringed them dry, and then folded them again, first helping Han Xuan wipe the sweat off his face, and then applying another clean ice towel to Han Xuan's forehead.

Lan Yu can be in charge of the temple for fifty years, in addition to planting henchmen all over the world for decades, his own high realm cultivation is also one of the reasons, the earth immortal monk can have a lifespan of two hundred years, and even someone who is good at raising longevity, up to three hundred years. Eighty years old, for Han Xuan, is already the twilight of his life, but for Lan Yu, he is still in the prime of life, and he is in the prime of life.

In fact, Han Xuan had a chance back then, but he didn't want to do it, he looked at life and death very lightly, and there was nothing he couldn't see, life was withered and prosperous, and the reason of the cycle of heaven and earth.

It's just that this feeling of powerlessness makes him very helpless.

Han Xuan sighed heavily.

In the twenty-third year of Chengping, Lan Yu and Xiao Xuan said on the altar of the hill that they decided to pay tribute to the official, and in the twenty-third year of Chengping, Lan Yu returned to his hometown, and Han Xuan took over as the first assistant of the cabinet, and took over the power of the four capitals and 19 states.

At the beginning, I didn't feel anything, after all, Xiao Xuan himself is a promising monarch in the prime of life, and the key to the first assistant of the cabinet is still a "secondary" word, Lan Yu is precisely because he is too powerful, he will be jealous of Xiao Xuan, and he will be forced off the throne of the first assistant by the king of Wei and others to plan the matter of the altar of the mound, and Xiao Xuan will set up the first assistant again, not to ask the first assistant to take over the power, but to assist him in dealing with the government, so Han Xuan is the most suitable person, regardless of seniority or ability, he is enough to compete, even if he is old and frail, it does not matter.

But after Xiao Xuan's death, Xiao Bai succeeded to the throne, bent on cultivating and condensing the immortal golden body, resulting in the abandonment of the government, Han Xuan felt a little powerless at this time, and then Xiao Zhinan came to power as regent, although she intended to revitalize the government, but after all, it was the first time to take power, there were many unfamiliar places, and Han Xuan still had to pick up the missing and fill the gaps from the side, and he since the beginning of spring this year, his body was not as good as a day, although he took a lot of various pills, but these days still felt more and more lacking in energy, after entering June, the war in the southeast and northwest broke out at the same time, Xiao Jin in the south of the Yangtze River forced the two Xiang, the northeast Mutang invaded Shanhai City, and the northwest Lin Han invaded the territory of Xiliang, which one is an earth-shattering event, as the first assistant pavilion, how can he not worry, under the worry, the illness is more serious, and he eats more pills.

The so-called pill, although it has the effect of healing and prolonging life, but also has many side effects, even in the cold winter wax moon will be hot, now it is autumn, but Han Xuan still keeps sweating, this is also a common disease of many celebrities who take too much medicine, they have to rely on eating ice to dissipate their gas, but Han Xuan is old, and his stomach is not good, so he dare not eat ice, so he can only go against the season, wear a thin shirt, put on an ice towel, and then open the window to ventilate.

After Xu Beiyou put the ice towel on, Han Xuan suddenly felt that the annoying heat had been reduced a lot, but his back was still sharp on his back, which made people feel uneasy, and his already snow-white brows couldn't help but lock a little.

He raised his hand and waved, signaling the steward on Hou's side to retreat, there were only three people left in the room, at this moment, there was no difference between monarchs and ministers, it was really just a family.

Xu Beiyou served by Han Xuan's side, and his mood was slightly depressed.

Birth, old age, sickness and death, this is the principle of the cycle of heaven, even if he has the realm of the eighteenth floor of the earth immortal, he can't act against the way of heaven, and it is the heavenly immortals who can really change his life against the sky, such as the golden pill of Taiqing Daojun and Yuqing Daojun, one can live and die with white bones, and the other can extend life, all of which are real immortals.

As for the human world, even if there are several so-called methods of prolonging life and prolonging life, most of them are methods such as collecting and replenishing blood sacrifices, which not only cause great suffering, but also damage yin virtue and be disgusted by the heavens.

Xu Beiyou is a member of the Sword Sect, good at killing, not good at saving people. It is the Daomen who is really proficient in saving people, but the Daomen is already the enemy of life and death.

Even if Xu Beiyou can subdue the Demon Suppression Hall and the Molun Temple with one person and one sword, he can only do it in vain now.

Xiao Zhinan glanced at Xu Beiyou, got up and said, "Dad, you and Nangui haven't seen each other for half a year, I'll go to my aunt's house first, and you father and son will talk for a while." ”

Han Xuan nodded slowly and said, "Nangui, you send Zhinan on my behalf." ”

Xu Beiyou hummed, got up and sent Xiao Zhinan to the gate of the mansion, before Xiao Zhinan came to Fengren, he asked Xu Beiyou a few words, and asked him to accompany the old man more.

Xu Beiyou understood his wife's kindness, nodded in response, and watched her board the phoenix before turning around and returning to the house.

Back in the inner room, Han Xuan was still lying on the chair, looking up, "Nangui, how many days are you going to stay in the imperial capital when you come back this time?"

Xu Beiyou sat on the embroidery pier next to him, shook his head and said: "It's hard to say, if it's okay, I will stay for a little longer, but if there are other accidents, ......"

Han Xuan lowered his head and looked at Xu Beiyou, who was not a parent but a parent, but rather a parent-child, his face showed the helplessness and sorrow of the old man's twilight, and sighed softly: "It's really hard for you, you are only twenty-four years old this year, but you have to carry such a big burden on your shoulders." ”

Xu Beiyou shook his head and said with a smile: "What's not bitter, I'm enjoying it." ”

Han Xuan smiled, and showed the ease of an old man who had read all the world's affairs, and said leisurely: "Since this year, the firmament may turn white. Those who are shaken or fall off. Mao's blood is declining day by day, ambition is getting weaker and weaker, and geometry is not from you...... death"

There was a moment of silence between father and son.

Then Han Xuan continued: "My father is old, I say that I plan in the secret room, and the order is in the world, a few days ago, Zhinan convened a small court meeting, she plans to make you the king of Yan, this is planned in the secret room, and then she will send an order to the world, she specially came to ask what it means to be a father, and now what does it mean to ask you for a father?"

Xu Beiyou was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he slowly came back to his senses and said softly: "Son...... Now that it has come to this point, it doesn't matter whether he is the king of this different surname or not, but it is for Zhinan, for his father, and even for future generations......"

Han Xuan interrupted him softly, "Then do it." ”
