Chapter No.17 The Truth
"I'll give the prince an injection first, and I'll grab this medicine and cook it and bring it here as soon as possible." The elder handed the prescription he had just written to the servant and said to Chu Huai.

"Master, father—" Chu Huai asked worriedly.

"Recently, someone administered poison again. Due to the heavy dose, the onset time was brought forward. It was estimated that it could be delayed for a year or two, but now it seems that it can be at most half a year." The elder sighed and said helplessly.

Damn, being poisoned right under his nose, Chu Huai's clenched fists made the sound of bones intertwining, and his eyes were clouded.

After the injection, King Jin gradually woke up, drank the medicine, closed his eyes tiredly, and fell asleep.Only Chu Huai was left by the bed in the room.

"Brother, I'm sorry for you..." King Jin repeated his ravings.

"Father." Hearing the voice, Chu Huai opened his eyes, only to see his father frowning and shaking his head in pain.

Big brother...could it be the emperor? !
Was it the emperor who poisoned his father? !

----------------

In the evening, King Jin woke up.

"Father," Chu Huai looked down at the floating tea leaves in the cup, the sun was setting, and the sunlight shone through the window on his face flickering on and off, making it difficult to see his expression: "I have already found out, The one who poisoned you," he raised his head and stared straight into his father's eyes, "it's the emperor, right?"

King Jin's pupils constricted suddenly, then he looked out of the window and into the distance: "You know everything."

As he was looking out the window, he didn't notice the flickering surprise on his son's face, and continued: "You still found out."

Chu Huai put down the teacup in his hand heavily, and the dream talk he overheard was actually related to the poisoning, but even after hearing his father admit it, he still couldn't believe it: "Why?"

"I am the youngest son, and my mother and concubine are very favored, so when I was born, I took away all the favors from my father, including the elder brother who is already the prince, but the elder brother does not hate me like others, but takes good care of me, saying I'm still young. I'm pampered and arrogant, and I always get what I want, and my elder brother will let me in." King Jin's expression was as usual, as if he was nostalgic for a past event.

"It wasn't until later that I snatched away my eldest brother's sweetheart." He turned his head and looked at his son: "It's your mother."

What!Is the love between husband and wife that he always thought was fake?Impossible, father is not such a person!

"I don't believe it!" Chu Huai suddenly stood up and shouted loudly.

"Huai'er, do you know what the emperor's name is?" King Jin said to himself, "It's Huai."

own name...

The strength in his whole body seemed to be emptied all of a sudden, and he fell back on the seat weakly. Chu Huai couldn't say a word.

"It's not what you think. Your mother is a very good person. After marrying me, she lived with me wholeheartedly." King Jin seemed to see his dead wife through his son's face, and smiled warmly: "Your mother It's to protect you."

Facing his son's inquisitive gaze, without waiting for him to ask, King Jin continued: "I fell in love with your mother at first sight, and I excitedly went to express my feelings, but was rejected. I sat on the roof all night disheartened. , and then got seriously ill. After my father found out about this, he gave me a marriage right away. At that time, none of us knew that she and my elder brother had known each other for a long time. It was also after marriage that my elder brother’s attitude towards me changed drastically, and your mother told me I'm telling the truth, it's just too late."

"Actually, I'm not sure. If I had known about their relationship long ago, would I have let go and quit? Your mother is really the most beautiful woman in the world." Hearing what King Jin said, Chu Huai's mind suddenly An Mo's figure appeared, and he echoed, "Yes, the most beautiful woman in the world." He probably understood his father's feelings.

"Brother's temperament has changed a lot since then, probably because he was vicious to me. He took away the emperor and the woman he loves one after another. I can't forgive him for anything else." King Jin smiled self-deprecatingly: "I'm sorry for him, This poison was placed on the night your mother died, I know, and I am willing to bear it, after all, it brought you up, and you have to protect yourself in the future."

"Father..." Chu Huai's eyes were slightly red, and he didn't know what to say, his heart was extremely confused.

"Father loves me very much. He knows that my temperament is not suitable for being an emperor, and my elder brother protects me, so I can safely pass on the throne to my elder brother. These things are beyond my father's expectation. You are my son after all. , your mother was afraid that you would be killed, so she named her Huai, this is also the reason why the emperor loves you but doesn’t see you often, it’s good for you to be an idle prince in the future.” King Jin patted his son’s head lovingly, Explain the funeral in general.

"I'm tired, I'll go out first." Waving his son away, King Jin lay back on the bed and closed his eyes.

When Chu Huai went out, the sun had already set and the sky was dark. He looked at the sky with an indescribable daze in his heart.

His previous hatred was easily swept away by this incident, and that person had protected him for more than ten years, even for his mother.Who can tell right from wrong?He was so irritable that he ran to tell his master about it.

Chu Huai on this side was preoccupied, and An Mo on the other side was also very anxious.

Because, the general's wife, Mrs. Qi, lived in Qinfanglou!
