Pihanjin

Mu Fulan didn't expect Xi'er to come here at this hour.

The inner hall is deep and wide, with heavy curtains, and there is no notification. When she noticed, the child was behind her.

The moment she turned around and saw him, in her heart, she felt a sense of guilt and panic, as if she had been caught cheating.

She quickly stood up from the bed, left the man on the bed, turned around, and walked towards her son.

"Xi'er, it's so late, why haven't you slept yet?" she asked.

"Empress mother, you are tired. Since the father is awake, you can go and rest. I slept for a while, but I can't sleep anymore, so I will accompany the father."

Mu Fulan hesitated.

"Mother, take a good rest. Isn't there a couch here? If I'm sleepy, I'll sleep here."

A smile appeared on Xie Changgeng's face. He seemed to want to sit up and said, "Xi'er, you don't need to stay. You mother and son should go and rest..."

Xi'er walked quickly to his side, supported his arm, and let him lie back slowly.

"Mother!"

He turned his head and looked at Mu Fulan. "I want to accompany the emperor." He said again in a stressed tone.

No one knows Xi'er's admiration and trust for this man better than her. In the past few days that he was in a coma, the person who was most worried and sad should be this child.

Mu Fulan looked at the two figures, one big and one small, and finally nodded.

"Your father has just woken up, and he is still very weak. Don't talk to him too much. When the medicine will be delivered, he will eat it, and you will go to bed earlier. If you have any problems, call me at any time, or the imperial physician. Can."

Mu Fulan warned. Xier agreed one by one.

She turned her head and glanced.

In the shadow of the lamp, the man was half-lying and half-recumbent, and his eyes were looking at her silently. She was suddenly upset and hated the way he looked at her like that.

She quickly turned her face and walked away.

Xi'er accompanied her out, and ordered the palace servants in the outer hall to serve her and go to rest.

The young boy stood there, watching Mu Fulan's figure leave, in a trance.

A palace servant came in a hurry with medicine in hand.

He turned around and returned to the dormitory, took the medicine bowl from the palace servant, and while stirring, he slowly blew, and when the medicine was a little colder, he held it in both hands and brought it to Xie Changgeng, saying, "Father, Royal Father, You're taking medicine."

Xie Changgeng looked at him with a faint smile in his eyes. He picked it up and took a few sips.

"Is the medicine bitter?"

Xie Changgeng smiled and shook his head: "It's not bitter."

"Father, are you feeling better?"

"much better."

Xi'er handed the empty bowl to the palace servant on the side, ordered everyone to go out, looked at Xie Changgeng lying in front of him, knelt down straightly and kowtowed to him.

Xie Changgeng was a little surprised, he sat up again, propped up the edge of the bed with one hand, leaned over, stretched out the other hand, trying to help him up.

"Xi'er, it's fine, what's the matter with you? Get up."

After Xi'er kowtowed, she raised her face and said, "Imperial Father, in order for me to become a crown prince under the eyes of the world, you disregarded your own safety. This is what I owe you, and you should accept it."

Xie Changgeng smiled, looking at him with tenderness and gratification in his eyes.

He said, "It doesn't matter. The royal father has hurt himself a lot. Besides, the royal father's life is tough, and he won't die so easily. Get up."

After he finished speaking, seeing that the little boy didn't get up and was still kneeling in front of his bed like that, he said, "What's wrong with you? Is there anything else?"

Xi'er said, "Father, may I dare to ask you something?"

Xie Changgeng nodded.

"Father, you are clearly not my biological father, but why are you so kind to me? Not only did you recognize me as a parent and son in front of the world and let me be the crown prince, but you also risked your life to hold this ceremony as scheduled?"

Xie Changgeng paused and slowly leaned back. He avoided the little boy's two eyes watching him, and said in a low voice, "My father regarded you as a parent and son a long time ago. In this world, my father has won the hand, and will not pass it on to you in the future, but will pass it on to you. Who?"

The little boy shook his head.

"Father, you have always been so kind to me because of my mother, right?"

Xie Changgeng raised his eyes and looked at the little boy again.

He said: "Father, I was ignorant when I was young, and I always hoped that my mother would be good to you. In the past few years, when I got older, I realized that my mother, she has never liked you, even, Your feelings for the father are disgust, even hatred. I don't know why, but she must have her reasons. A person as kind as mother will not treat you like this for no reason. "

"Father, do you know why my mother did this to you?"

Xie Changgeng was stunned.

The feeling of satisfaction and pleasure that came quietly when I opened my eyes and saw her sleeping beside me a moment ago, before I could taste it quietly, it was like something stolen, and at this moment, it was completely stolen. , disappeared.

He felt as if his chest was suddenly hit by a boulder, and he felt stuffy and painful.

He looked at the little boy kneeling in front of him.

Candlelight was cast on the boy's handsome face. The child's eyes were hazy, half-bright and half-dark.

"It was the father who was sorry for your mother in the past..."

Finally, he answered.

"Father, Xi'er doesn't want to ask more about your past affairs with my mother." The young boy continued. "Father, when you were in a coma, your mother stayed by your side. I think this is because she is grateful to father for your kindness to me. Besides, it is also because mother is a doctor and has a benevolent heart."

"It's all my fault, because I said that I wanted to be king, and she came to the palace for me. But Father, I know you won't be **** others."

The child kowtowed again towards the person on the bed.

"Xi'er knows Fang Cai's words, and every sentence is disrespectful, but because of her mother, Xi'er has to say it. If you offend the father, you can cut off my crown prince position, and I have no complaints. "

Xie Changgeng stared at the young boy kneeling in front of him, and in a daze, he remembered the boy in his previous life who cut off his father-son relationship with him by blood.

If that young man could come back, he would hate himself and would never allow himself to come close to his mother, right?

Xie Changgeng's face was bleak and his eyes were dark.

After a long time, he said in a low voice, "Get up. The royal father knows."

The little boy in front of the bed finally got up from the ground. He supported the emperor, carefully let him lie down again, and covered him with a quilt.

The little boy smiled and said in a very sincere tone: "Father, I will remember your kindness to my mother. In the future, I will definitely repay you."

…

Although Mu Fulan was extremely tired, she didn't sleep well. That night, he tossed and turned, woke up from sleep, woke up, woke up at dawn, washed quickly and came back to find that Xie Changgeng had disappeared.

Dan Zhu, the maid who has been serving her, said that it was only at the beginning of the fifth watch this morning when the emperor got up, took the imperial physician, and moved back to Yuanchen Palace.

"Your Majesty ordered the servants to tell the Empress. Your Majesty is recuperating over there, and there is an imperial physician. The same is true, and it will not delay the government too much. Please rest assured."

This is her bedroom. At that time, he lost too much blood and fainted. For convenience, he was sent to himself.

His sudden move surprised Mu Fulan.

His injuries were not minor, and he lost too much blood. He should have done nothing and rested in bed.

She stood in the dormitory, looking at the bed in front of her that had been cleaned so that there was no sign that anyone had slept in last night, she was stunned for a moment, walked over, and slowly sat down on the edge of the bed.

She did not chase after Yuanchen Palace. On this day, in the middle of the night, Cao Jin sent a little **** to invite her.

Mu Fulan came to the outside of Yuanchen Palace, and Cao Jin, who was waiting, reported to her the emperor's diet today and the diagnosis and treatment of the imperial physician, and then quietly led her in, went through the imperial study to the apse, and said in a low voice: "In the early morning, Your Majesty summoned several ministers. After the ministers went, the imperial physician repeatedly urged His Majesty to rest well. But Queen, you see... the slaves really have no choice but to alert the Queen..."

Mu Fulan stopped at the passage leading to the apse, and across several curtains, he could vaguely see the man half lying and half leaning, leaning sideways on a dragon bed.

The bedside was brightly lit, and a foot-high memorial was piled beside his pillow. He was holding a book in his hand, and he was looking down at it. After reading it, he turned over slowly and with a little effort, took a pen dipped in ink from the **** who was waiting beside him, and put it on the book. Reply. The hand seemed to be trembling a little, and he couldn't hold it steady for a while, and with a "pop", the memorial fell to the ground.

"pick it up-"

He frowned, showing an unhappy look, holding a pen, urging the eunuch.

The **** hurried to pick it up.

Mu Fulan could no longer hold back the anger that surged in her heart, stepped forward, lifted the curtain, and walked in.

Xie Changgeng took the memorial that the **** handed over again, and was about to continue when he heard footsteps, raised his eyes, and the hand holding the pen stopped.

"Your Majesty, you received the Prince from Changsha. Even if Your Majesty is confident and strong and does not take the doctor's advice to heart, please consider the prince a little. Dacheng's court and country."

She stared at the man on the dragon bed and said in a flat tone.

The man's expression seemed to be sluggish, and he looked at her for a moment, and the hand holding the pen slowly dropped.

"Have you taken all the medicine?" she asked the eunuch.

"The medicine has been taken." The **** replied hurriedly.

"I have collected all the memorials. Serve His Majesty and rest at once!"

The **** said "Hey", bowed forward, looked at Xie Changgeng's face, and carefully took the pen and memorial from his hand. Seeing that he didn't respond, he hurriedly collected the memorials that were piled aside.

Xie Changgeng didn't speak, and didn't look at her anymore.

He lowered his eyes, as if he wanted to lie down.

The **** hurriedly came to help him, but was thrown away by him. He supported the bed with both hands, turned inward, and slowly lay down.

The **** covered him with a quilt. He was lying on his stomach, his back was motionless, as if he had fallen asleep.

"Good life to serve. Call me if you have anything."

Mu Fulan didn't look at him anymore, she just ordered the eunuch, and then turned away.
