Chu Chen Kee

Han Jing returned to Mount Jiuhua with a group of people.

He was able to successfully retrieve the elixir and rescue his master, and it was inseparable from the help of Bai Yi and others, so the whole sect treated them very politely and respectfully.

When Su Xun woke up the next day, he saw his bandaged legs, and didn't express much emotion, but asked Han Jing for some more common fairy grasses to apply medicine to his wounds.

He probably also knew that his leg might suffer from sequelae, but he didn't pay much attention to it. On the contrary, the dragon fairy grass that he had spent a lot of money on was placed in a cold jade with great care. Carved box, hidden in his personal kit.

Bai Yi also noticed it, but just sighed lightly and didn't say anything.

After another two days of rest, they finally embarked on the journey back to Chang'an.

There were no accidents along the way, and they returned to Chang'an very smoothly.

Li Chenhuan got the news that Su Xun was injured, and sent people out of the city to meet him, but he didn't go out of the city himself, but stayed in the palace.

In the past few days, the emperor's condition has become more and more serious. Since he is dying, it is necessary for him to serve day and night as the prince.

When he saw that it was Xia Yi who came out of the city to meet them, Su Xun's dark eyes did not express much, but at the gate of the city, Bai Yi and the others parted ways.

Bai Yi watched the carriage walking unhurriedly towards the city, and couldn't help but glance back.

Li Yuchen was next to him, and when he saw him looking back at him, he couldn't help feeling agitated, and stretched out his hand to hold Bai Yi's wrist.

Bai Yi pondered for a moment before saying: "...You, do you want to enter the palace to have a look?"

Li Yuchen was taken aback for a moment, then realized the meaning of Bai Yi's words, and couldn't help looking into Bai Yi's eyes subconsciously.

There was no other emotion in those clear eyes, just indifferent.

He then relieved himself and nodded slightly: "If you want me to go, I will go."

Bai Yi moved the corner of his mouth, wanting to say something, but swallowed the words that came to his mouth after a while.

He wanted to tell Li Yuchen that the person lying there who was about to die soon was his father, but he understood better that that person was not even as important to Li Yuchen as a servant in the White Mansion.

But why isn't that man pitiful?

An imposter son took the place of his own child for 12 years, and his own child was lost without knowing it.

In the Xingqing Palace, the gloomy atmosphere was almost suffocating.

Inside and outside the emperor's bedroom, there was an unusually pungent strong smell of medicine.

Li Chenhuan was sitting on the chair next to the emperor's bed, holding a bowl of decoction steadily in his left hand, stirring the medicine in the bowl with the silver spoon in his hand leisurely, letting the decoction cool down little by little.

There were a few maids beside them, but without exception, they all lowered their heads and stared at their feet without daring to move.

"Father, the medicine has cooled down a bit, you can drink some." Li Chenhuan deliberately showed the silver spoon in his hand to the emperor as he spoke, indicating that the spoon hadn't changed color.

Lying on the bed, the emperor glanced at the spoon weakly, and then muttered a few words vaguely in his throat, knowing that Li Chenhuan couldn't hear his own words clearly, and then opened his mouth slightly.

Li Chenhuan carefully fed the medicine in his hand to the emperor spoon by spoon, and from time to time put the bowl on the plate carried by the maid next to him, and then took out a silk handkerchief for the emperor to wipe clean around the corners of his mouth.

After the emperor drank this bowl of medicine, he almost exhausted all his strength.

He closed his eyes slightly, signaling that he was going to sleep.

He was originally only 50 years old, but now his body is as old as a dying person. This is why he knows it in his heart, but he absolutely dare not admit it.

Taking pills indiscriminately for so many years has exhausted all his energy. Back then, he felt that the pills were useful only because of the tiger and wolf medicine contained in those pills. Now, once he fell down, he felt that it was impossible for him to stand up again. Woke up.

"Father, the third brother wants to enter the palace to greet you." Li Chenhuan said calmly when he saw the emperor looking tired.

Hearing this, the emperor forced his eyes to open again, shook his head wearily, and said with difficulty: "After two days, let me feel better."

Li Chenhuan handed the medicine bowl to the maid next to him, took another pillow and put it on the emperor's back, and said calmly: "I think my father would like to see the third brother now, you haven't seen him for a long time, right?" ? How can I let him go for nothing?"

As he said that, he chuckled again: "Probably he will refuse to invite him into the palace in the future."

The emperor opened his eyes and looked at Li Chenhuan in a daze, his expression changed, but he finally endured it: "Then let him come in to see me."

Li Chenhuan smiled slightly and said: "In that case, let's go and call my third brother in."

A court lady over there shook her hand, and the jade bowl on the plate immediately fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

She immediately knelt down in horror and begged for mercy: "I didn't do it on purpose, please forgive me, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Chenhuan's face darkened and he said: "You have disturbed the sick father, you are too courageous, come here, take it down and postpone the disposal!"

The female officer didn't dare to beg for mercy any more, she just looked at the sick emperor with tears in her eyes.

The emperor wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Li Chenhuan: "Father, you don't have to worry about such trivial matters, it's just a mere female official, and my son will take care of it."

The emperor's face suddenly changed again and again.

He privately ordered this female officer to contact several princes and asked them to visit famous doctors everywhere, hoping to cure his serious illness, but looking at the current situation, Li Chenhuan obviously already knew about it.

He couldn't help looking nervously at the eldest son standing in the room.

Li Chenhuan's height has already surpassed him, and he is handsome, tall and slender, and has accumulated a majesty that surpasses him in the court.

Everyone fears but is subdued by his means.

When did he start to realize that his son had grown so quietly that he even felt scared?

It's a pity that he realized it too late, and his body was too disappointing.

At one point, he even suspected that Li Chenhuan had poisoned him.

It's just that all my confidants diagnosed that I was not poisoned, and they also said that it was because of taking too many pills in the early years.

In the early years, he did recruit Rodanshi to make alchemy. Many of those people were nameless deceitful people, and they didn't have any substantial effect, so he couldn't deny this result.

"His Royal Highness the Third Prince has arrived." The eunuch outside reported.

"Biography." Li Chenhuan said calmly.

Then, a tall figure walked in slowly.

The emperor looked over weakly, and when he was about to send people away, he suddenly froze.

The young man in front of him was tall and handsome, like a banished fairy, not his third son...

However, he struggled violently and wanted to sit up, but he didn't have the strength at all.

It was Li Chenhuan who was next to him who immediately stretched out a hand to support him strongly, so that he could sit up panting and leaning on the pillow.

He had never seen this person before, but his facial features were familiar, [-] to [-]% similar to Concubine Bai.

He turned his head in amazement, looked at Li Chenhuan, and said with difficulty: "What... do you mean?"

Li Chenhuan replied calmly: "That's what the father saw. This is the child of the concubine Bai, your third prince. Now the one in the prince's mansion is fake. It is from a clan that the empress looked for back then. replaced by their children."

The emperor glanced at Li Yuchen again, and suddenly began to cough in a heart-pounding way, as if his own lungs were about to be coughed out.

Li Yuchen stood there indifferently, without any emotion.

In his eyes, it was just an old man who had nothing to do with him.

On the other hand, Li Chenhuan was busy patting his back and stroking his chest to give him comfort.

It took the emperor a long time to calm down. Looking at Li Yuchen's indifferent eyes, there was a trace of heartache in his eyes, as if he remembered something, a little desperate and a little sad.

"Your third brother...isn't him." The emperor shook his head slowly, looked at Li Chenhuan firmly and said, "The one in the prince's mansion...is. You promise me that you will protect him in this life... Wealth is enough .”

Even though he knew well that the child in front of him was his third prince, he also suddenly understood the true wish of Concubine Bai, the woman he had loved so deeply.

Fortunately, this time, he didn't make a mistake.

Concubine Bai didn't want her child to fall into the quagmire of the imperial palace, so he fulfilled Concubine Bai's wish.

Even though the one in the prince's mansion is fake, but he has been a father and son with him for more than ten years, even if he is an adopted son, he can't bear to punish him for the crime of deceiving the emperor.

After all, back then, he was still a child. A child was ignorant and was used by an adult. How innocent was he?

For this child whom he has ignored for many years, the guilt in his heart has also eased a lot.

Li Chenhuan looked into the emperor's eyes quietly, and said after a while: "Your servant obeys the order."

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief, and waited for a long time before saying: "After... I die, I will be buried with... Concubine Bai. I... owed her a lot before I died, and after I die... go and make amends to her Bar……"

Li Chenhuan was silent for a moment, then nodded: "I know."

However, the emperor didn't know that the concubine Bai had lost her body, her soul was gone, and she had disappeared into this world forever.

This is probably the most hopeless thing in the world.

The emperor opened his eyes again, and looked at Li Yuchen with difficulty, but he couldn't bear to blink at all.

This is his and Concubine Bai's child...it really looks like Concubine Bai!

Concubine Bai, the first time she met him was at the night market in Chang'an, which was bustling with people coming and going.

The emperor recalled slowly, and then he relaxed his whole body and closed his eyes.

Li Chenhuan's hands hidden in his sleeves were tightly clenched into fists, and after a while he said calmly: "Father is tired, you go down."

Everyone retreated after hearing the words.

Li Yuchen looked back at the person lying on Li Chenhuan's lap with eyes closed and smiling, then turned and left.
