"You ......" In the imperial study, Imperial Doctor Xu pointed to Xuanyuan De, who was standing on the steps and talking to himself, opened his eyes wide, and said suspiciously. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

However, seeing his chest rising and falling violently, he was obviously angry.

"Huh?" Regulus glanced at the obvious shadow on the other side of the window, and gestured to him with his eyes.

Suspiciously following Xuanyuande's gaze, Imperial Doctor Xu also quickly spotted the figure hiding outside the window and eavesdropping.

He frowned, his expression a little resistant.

But after a while, facing Xuanyuan De's honest and fearless gaze, Imperial Doctor Xu was finally defeated, sighed in a deep voice, and echoed: "Please think twice, Your Majesty, if you can get timely treatment, it is still possible to remove the toxin." ”

"I've made up my mind, so don't say any more. Xuanyuan De waved his hand, sternly refused, and then took the teacup full of tea on the desk and drank it all.

Imperial Doctor Xu stretched out his hand, opened his mouth, and stopped talking, but after seeing Xuanyuan De put the empty teacup on the desk, he finally shook his head and sighed.

At this moment when they were talking, Xuanyuan Hao, who was eavesdropping outside, also recovered from the shock, without any hesitation, Xuanyuan Hao walked quickly to the door, pushed it open hard, and didn't care about any courtesy of the monarch and ministers, walked quickly to the front of his father, and said excitedly: "Father, what you just said is true?"

"Why are you here? It's none of your business here, you get out of here. Xuanyuan looked a little surprised when he saw his second son push the door in, and then his face turned pale and he rebuked loudly.

Who knows, Xuanyuan Hao, who has always been unswerving in his father's orders, not only did not leave, but shouted angrily at Xuanyuan De: "How can there be no business with me? I am your son, beg my father to tell me, you just said that you are highly poisoned, is it true?"

"You're eavesdropping on our conversation?" asked Xuanyuan with an incredulous look on his eyebrows.

"I admit that I overheard your conversation, and I will admit that you want to beat or punish me, but I beg my father to tell me, is what you said true?"

As if he had given up everything, Xuanyuan Hao said without scruples, at this moment he no longer has the difference between him and his father, he is just a child who cares about his father's health, that's all.

Looking at Xuanyuan Hao's almost hoarse roar, Xuanyuan De closed his mouth and was silent, as if he was thinking about something, and during this time, Xuanyuan Hao kept looking straight at him with firm eyes, hoping that his father would give him a clear answer.

Perhaps the answer he hoped for was only two words.

It's just that there are very few things in the world that can go as people want, just as few people can grow old with the people they love.

Xuanyuan stood in place, and after a long time, he slowly spoke with great difficulty: "Yes." ”

Xuanyuan Hao's body rippled for a while, and he was a little unsteady on his feet, and after hearing the affirmative answer, he only felt as if the sky had fallen, and his mood suddenly sank to the bottom.

He knew that what his father was telling was absolutely true.

Because he is the king of a country, and the king has no jokes.

Xuanyuan Hao looked at his father's calm expression, as if the sky was falling, and he gradually recalled his father's teachings in the past - no matter at all times, you must maintain the mind of a superior, do not panic, and be calm and composed.

Slowly calming down his chaotic mentality, Xuanyuan Hao asked: "Father, how could you be poisoned? Your daily meals have been carefully conditioned by special people, and someone has personally tested the poison, ...... How could it be ......"

Even if he insisted that his mentality be correct, Xuanyuan Hao still showed an unbelievable look in his eyes, in his opinion, although it was not the safest place in the palace, it was by no means a place that could be easily plotted by Xiaoxiao, and there must be a deeper reason for this.

"The poison in me is not in the food, and even if it is in the food, it is not instantaneous. Xuanyuan De glanced at Imperial Doctor Xu, who bowed his head and was silent, and said lightly.

Chronic poisons?

Xuanyuan Hao's heart sank again. He had heard people talk about the characteristics of chronic poisons before, and all chronic poisons must have a long incubation period and are not easy to detect, and once this poison is detected by himself, it means that the date of reporting to the king of Yama is not far away.

Isn't that what it means to say about my father......

Xuanyuan Hao's face was shocked, he quickly looked up at his father, and asked hesitantly, "I don't know how long you have been poisoned?"

Haha, Xuanyuan looked at his second son's cautious expression, and asked, "You want to ask me how long I have to live." ”

"No, no. Xuanyuan Hao hurriedly denied in a panic: "My father is the king of Penglai Kingdom, and he is loved by the people, so he can naturally live forever." ”

"You don't need to say these ethereal words, longevity is boundless, I'm afraid that only a true cultivator like you who has a Dao heart can do it. Waving his hand to signal Xuanyuan Hao not to interrupt his speech, Xuanyuan De continued: "My own body, I know it very well, besides, Imperial Doctor Xu has already helped me see it just now, I only have half a year to live at most, although it is not much, but it is not very little, at least the things I expected can be arranged properly." ”

Imperial Doctor Xu?Xuanyuan Hao only then shifted his attention to him.

He was talking to his father in the imperial study before, right, that is to say, his father's poisoning was also detected by him?

Looking at the middle-aged man who was dressed very casually beside him, Xuanyuan Hao smiled at him kindly.

Suddenly, he suddenly remembered what Imperial Doctor Xu said when he was eavesdropping outside, so he turned his head in surprise, stared at Imperial Doctor Xu again, and asked solemnly: "Imperial Doctor Xu, I heard you say that the poison in my father can be cured outside, but is it true?"

Feeling Xuanyuan De's gaze that seemed to fall on him unintentionally, Imperial Doctor Xu sighed in his heart, looked deeply at this young man who was likely to inherit the great unification in the future, and said in a deep voice: "It's true that it can be treated, it's just ......"

"Just what?" Xuanyuan Hao heard him say that the poison in his father could still be cured, and he was overjoyed and hurriedly asked.

"It's just that we lack the herbs for making the antidote. Imperial Doctor Xu hesitated, as if he was unwilling to speak.

"Huh-", slightly relieved, Xuanyuan Hao wiped his sweaty forehead because of nervousness, and smiled easily: "I still have something to do, it's just that I lack a taste of medicinal materials, you quickly tell me, what is the name of that medicinal material, my master's Penglai Immortal Sect has the largest medicinal garden in the cultivation world, and there are countless rare medicinal materials, as long as I use the jade slip to tell the master about the situation here, I believe that within a month, the medicinal materials will naturally come to our hands." ”

Although he didn't really want to hit him, Imperial Doctor Xu still said lightly: "The medicinal herb I lack, not only does your palace not have it, but even your master and Penglai Immortal Sect, I dare to guarantee that they will never have it, if it is possible to find this medicinal herb ten thousand years ago, then it is basically impossible to find it now." ”

"How is it possible? The world is so big that there are no surprises. You said that it can't be found in the whole world, could it be that it grows in the sky?" Xuanyuan Hao naturally didn't believe his words, so he looked at him and said with some sneer.

However, Imperial Doctor Xu glanced at him noncommittally, smiled, and did not speak.

"Please ask Imperial Doctor Xu to tell me what the name of the herb is, and I will send someone to find out. Xuanyuan Hao arched his hand and asked earnestly.

"Since you don't want to give up, and you have to look for it, then I'll tell you. Seeing his serious look, Imperial Doctor Xu couldn't refuse again, so he said: "The name of the medicinal herb I lack is Wraith Soul Grass, as for its appearance and taste, I only know that it should grow in a cold place." ”

Xuanyuan Hao's eyes widened as he stared at his face, which didn't seem to be fake, and he was very surprised, it was the first time he had heard someone describe an item in such simple words.

Only one name is known, and nothing else is known. How does this make him find out?

"Do you know anything else about Wraith Grass?" Xuanyuan Hao asked again without giving up.

I saw Imperial Doctor Xu shaking his head, his sad face full of helplessness.

Even if it were, I'd definitely find it. For the sake of his father, for himself, for the whole family, for the whole world, he is duty-bound.

Xuanyuan Hao's bright dark eyes shone with a determined gaze, and he secretly gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

"Are you going to find the Wraith Grass yourself?" asked Regulus, who had been watching the conversation between the two of them.

Xuanyuan Hao was asked by his father, and immediately responded: "I will ask the master to help find it first, if I don't find it, I will naturally go in person." ”

"No, I can't. Xuanyuan said flatly.

"Why?" Xuanyuan Hao saw that his father had vetoed his decision without even thinking about it, so he looked directly at his father in surprise and asked.

"Because you have to stay by my side for the remaining half a year and learn the way of being a king, you can't leave Penglai City for half a step. Xuanyuan De stared at him with blazing eyes and said in an unquestioning tone.

"But ......"

"There's nothing to do, and you don't want to be an emperor like a child anymore. Xuanyuan looked at him sternly and said: "Being an emperor is not child's play, it's not that you can't be improper if you don't want to, and at the same time, he can't be anyone, it's a kind of responsibility, a kind of power." When you become emperor, you will be given unparalleled power with the responsibility that comes with it, but you have to remember that this power is not something that can be used casually, it can only be used to carry out your duties, and it can only be used for this. ”

It was rare for his father to speak to him in such a serious tone, but this just shows the importance of the content of these words.

Nodding vigorously, Xuanyuan Hao kept these words firmly in his heart and listened carefully to his father's teachings.

He didn't know how many times he would hear his father speak to him like this, but he secretly swore that he would remember it every time in the future.

After bidding farewell to his father and leaving the imperial study, Xuanyuan Hao was not invited to visit his mother, and at the same time temporarily left the matter of accompanying his sister behind.

Because he knew that these things didn't add up to be as important as the things he was going to do now.

After being poisoned, every minute and second that passes, the toxicity will deepen and worsen invisibly, although Imperial Doctor Xu said that his father still has half a year to go, but it is difficult to guarantee that there is a deviation.

Detoxification is naturally the sooner the better, and the sooner the antidote is prepared, the greater the hope of cure.

With urgent steps, Xuanyuan Hao walked quickly on the road, and a jade slip with a flickering white light had already been held in his hand by him, sending information inside.

......

"How is this son of mine?" Seeing Xuanyuan Hao walking away, Xuanyuan De turned around and asked Imperial Doctor Xu.

"Do you want to hear the truth, or do you want to tell a lie?" Imperial Doctor Xu looked at the faint smile on his face that rarely smiled, and also looked at Xuanyuan Hao's departing back, and asked.

"Naturally, it's the truth, don't you even dare to tell the truth in front of me?" Xuanyuan looked at him a little strangely.

"Then I said you shouldn't be angry. Imperial Doctor Xu coughed and cleared his throat.

"Say it quickly. Regulus glared at him viciously, and felt the urge to kick him.

"He's a lot better than when you were younger. Imperial Doctor Xu said bluntly.

"Oh?" Xuanyuan looked at him with some surprise, he didn't expect him to give his second son such a high evaluation.

"So what do you say about his strength?"

Imperial Doctor Xu glanced at him lightly, and said mercilessly: "Are you going to bring humiliation on yourself, or do you want to reflect on yourself? I don't want to risk being killed to make a strong order." ”

"So you're just judging by feelings?" said Xuanyuan, touching the beard on his chin.

Glancing at him in surprise, Imperial Doctor Xu was surprised, he didn't expect him to be able to guess this accurately. It seems that he has not been an emperor for so many years.

"Not really. Imperial Doctor Xu thought for a moment and said softly: "At least his filial piety is something you couldn't compare to back then." ”

"Yes......" Xuanyuan De was stunned, his expression full of reminiscence.

Xuanyuan smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "I'm not a good son." ”

"But you are a good emperor. Looking at his slightly lost expression, Imperial Doctor Xu said firmly.

When Xuanyuan De heard this, he was stunned, looked at him with a pair of wise eyes, and asked uncertainly, "What you said is true?"

"Don't you want to hear the truth?" Imperial Doctor Xu chuckled, as if he felt that his expression was very interesting.

Turning to look at the green cypress trees outside the open imperial study, Xuanyuan De muttered, "I really hope that thousands of years later, the world will comment on me like this." ”

"Yes. ”

"Is that all it take?" Walking to Xuanyuan De's side-by-side, Imperial Physician Xu looked at the inner courtyard of the palace, which had not changed much in a hundred years, and suddenly asked.

"Hmm. Xuanyuan snorted softly, with a relieved smile on the corner of his mouth.

For a long time, they stood like this, and neither of them said a word.

With the cold wind rushing in, the thoughts of the two of them no longer knew when and where they were going...... (To be continued.) )
