Prince is a ghost

The first rays of morning light came in through the window.As if feeling the warmth of the sun, Yan Xichao raised his head slightly and said, "Come here."

Two maids opened the door and walked in.

Yan Xichao asked, "What time is it?"

"Return to Your Majesty, it is already dawn."

"Yeah." Yan Xichao stroked the calm face of the person in his arms with his fingers, "You guys wash up for the queen."

"Yes."

Yan Xichao thought for a while, then said: "Forget it, let me come in person."

The maids brought hot water and put it beside the bed. Yan Xichao wanted to wet the handkerchief, but accidentally knocked over the basin.The maid immediately brought in another basin of hot water.Yan Xichao was surprisingly patient, carefully wiping Chu Quan's body, with an unprecedented tenderness on his face - as if he could see Chu Quan's sleeping face.

He opened his eyes, kept looking in Chu Quan's direction, and said after a long time: "This time the queen will sleep for a long time, he likes to be clean, you have to scrub and change his clothes every day - he likes to wear white clothes."

"The servant understands."

"Okay, you guys go down."

After the maid retreated, Yan Xichao sat by the bed for a long time before walking out of Yongning Palace.Before Chu Quan wakes up, he must strictly limit the number of times he visits him.Chu Quan was right, his coming to Yongning Palace would only speed up his weakening, he couldn't help Chu Quan, and he couldn't even see Chu Quan's appearance——Yan Xichao suddenly realized that all the rest of his life The meaning is limited to being able to hold Chu Quan in his arms and say a few words to him.However, even these, for them in the future, might just be extravagant hopes.

As the days passed, Yan Xichao was used to being blind and Chu Quan's deep sleep.He seldom went to see Yongning Palace, and only came to Chu Quan when he was tormented by longing. He didn't do anything, just held his hand and whispered to himself.

"I heard that the new emperor of Bixiao Kingdom has ascended the throne, that is, the former second prince who abducted you. It is said that he will also have a male queen. Are you surprised?"

"I brought you your favorite snacks today. I used to think these were too sweet and you were not allowed to eat more, but as long as you open your eyes, you can eat as much as you want."

"Above the court, Prime Minister Li mentioned the issue of heirs again. I couldn't help but tell him about it...he was so happy. If he knows that the future prince is your flesh and blood, I don't know what he will be like. expression."

"When I was in the imperial study, it suddenly rained heavily. I just wanted to come and see you...you won't dislike me, will you?"

"I went to see that woman today, and she looks fine."

……

Six months later, the woman selected by Yan Xichao gave birth to a baby boy.The baby boy was named Yan Chen as soon as he landed.The prince's biological mother has always been a mystery.Yan Xichao claimed to the outside world that she was a court lady he had been lucky enough to die of illness shortly after giving birth to the prince.Only a few people knew that the woman left the palace with a large amount of wealth, and she could no longer enter the capital.

With Yan Chen's arrival, Yan Xichao's mind is no longer entirely on Chu Quan.The prince is Chu Quan's blood and their common child. Yan Xichao intends to hand over the whole world to him when he grows up. Therefore, he does not allow any problems with Yan Chen.

Yan Xichao often thought, with Chu Quan's personality, what kind of father would he be?Yan Xichao always hoped that Chu Quan would open his eyes, look at himself, and look at the prince.

But Chu Quan didn't wake up until the prince's [-] days.

Yan Xichao found Yin Yunzhou, and after seeing it for Chu Quan, Yin Yunzhou said helplessly, "Your Majesty, this is still the same as before. I can't make him wake up."

"I know. But didn't you say that he can wake up after sleeping for half a year? It's almost a year now. How long do you want me to wait?"

"Your Majesty, there is no way to do this. You must know that with the empress's condition, it is normal for her to never wake up."

"I don't want to hear this answer." The uneasiness in his heart almost overwhelmed Yan Xichao, he said coldly, "Say one more thing, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Yin Yunzhou, who was innocently affected, had no choice but to say: "Why don't you let seniors see?"

"You'd better invite senior into the palace in the shortest possible time."

Yin Yunzhou tremblingly said: "But, senior can't leave the Wangchuan River. I think it's better for me to take the queen there."

"No." Yan Xichao said without hesitation, "It's a long way to go to Wangchuan River, what should I do if something happens. I can't take this risk."

Yin Yunzhou had no choice but to say: "Then I'll write a letter to senior first, if he refuses to come, we'll find a way."

Yin Yunzhou didn't expect that not long after the letter was delivered, the old man Wang Chuan came to the capital in person.Yan Xichao didn't dare to neglect, and immediately welcomed the old man into the palace himself.

Yin Yunzhou followed behind the old man, muttering: "I didn't think you would really come."

The old man said slowly: "I care about that child very much." After speaking, he glanced at Yan Xichao and asked, "How is your majesty doing recently?"

Yan Xichao's face was pale, his lips were bloodless, and his steps were superficial when he walked.He forced a smile, "Thank you senior for your concern, I'm fine."

"I don't think so." The old man said bluntly, "If the emperor wants to see the prince grow up, it's better to see the queen less."

Yan Xichao lowered his eyes and did not speak.

"The old man has a pill here, which may be good for the emperor's eyes. If the emperor doesn't dislike it, you can try it."

Yan Xichao didn't show much joy after hearing this, "Thank you, senior, but, let's ask senior to visit the queen first."

When they came to Yongning Palace, Yan Xichao pushed open the door of Chu Quan's room and led the old man in.When the old man saw Chu Quan lying peacefully on the bed, his heart sank and he had guessed something.He used his spiritual power to walk Chu Quan's whole body up and down, and his expression completely sank.

Even though he couldn't see anything, Yan Xichao grabbed Chu Quan's hand immediately. "Senior, how is the queen?"

"died."

Yan Xichao turned his head in a daze, "What?"

"The queen...is dead."

Yan Xichao's mind went blank, and he subconsciously denied: "No, he just fell asleep."

The old man turned his gaze away, as if he couldn't bear to continue watching. "His soul has no connection with his body at all, and his soul will not come back—in other words, he is dead."

"But..." Yan Xichao stared at the front with his empty eyes, "Didn't you say that according to his situation, he can sleep for as long as he wants?"

"That was when his soul and body were not completely separated."

Yan Xichao's voice choked up, "No, he just fell asleep and hasn't woken up yet." Yan Xichao said, tightly holding Chu Quan's lifeless, bone-chilling hand.

The old man sighed, "Why does the emperor need to deceive himself and others?"

Yan Xichao smiled, "It's only been a year... I still have a lot of time, I can wait."

"No matter how much the emperor waits, the queen will not wake up."

Yan Xichao stood up, and his face regained his calm, "Senior, you must be tired after coming from a long way, so let's go and rest first."

The old man shook his head, took another look at Chu Quan, who had his eyes closed tightly, and had no choice but to leave.

Only Yan Xichao and Chu Quan were left in the room.Yan Xichao sat on the side of the bed blankly, drawing Chu Quan's eyes, nose, lips with his slender fingers...

"Senior said you were dead." Yan Xichao tremblingly said, "How ridiculous... Do you think so?"

Chu Quan didn't know where he was - there was a vast expanse of whiteness all around him, if he had to say, he felt that he was in an illusion, even himself seemed unreal.Chu Quan looked down at his hands, and was surprised to find that he could see the mist under his feet through his body.

That's right, he is just like Yan Xichao back then, just a spirit body.

After wandering in this illusory illusion for an unknown amount of time, a gleam of light finally appeared in Chu Quan's vision.As if bewitched, Chu Quan drifted forward involuntarily...
