The prince is very fierce

There was a heavy thunderstorm in the imperial city, and the palace city, which should have been solemn and solemn, looked a bit chaotic and desolate in the rainy night.

The monarch Chen Jin is crazy, the second prince Chen Ju is drunk in the market, and the important officials in the court headed by An Guogong have fled overnight. As a result, no one can be found in the capital city who can take charge of the country.

Hearing that the enemy's army had arrived outside the city, the people in the harem were the most frightened. Whenever there was a drastic change in the dynasty, they were the first to suffer, those who had nothing to do with the Wang family. It was very likely that as soon as the army entered the city, they would have to start from scratch. The palace maids became slaves, and some of them spent the rest of their lives wandering in foreign lands. Those who were unlucky were likely to be abused by enemy soldiers.

With no one in charge in the imperial city, the already desolate harem was full of maids and eunuchs trying to sneak out of the palace. Outside the monarch's bedroom, there were also a few loyal old men who had nowhere to go. Eunuch, serving Chen Jin on the sick bed.

Under the curtain of rain, Chen Sining took Xu Buling and entered the palace city from the south side of the imperial city. They followed the familiar route to the harem and saw the chaotic scene with complicated eyes.

Everything was fine when she left the capital. She just went out for a casual trip to find Ah Qing. Who would have thought that when she returned to the place where she grew up, there was already a huge army outside the city and the city was in turmoil.

Xu Buling held an oil-paper umbrella and saw Chen Sining standing on the roof in a daze, and said, "Let's go."

Chen Sining was obviously in a low mood. Although the person who killed his mother and brother was already dead in front of his eyes, the grudge was settled just after the murderer was confirmed, which did not bring any pleasure of revenge. After a moment of silence, she jumped off the roof, landed in the corridor of the harem, and took Xu Buling to Chen Jin's bedroom.

Outside the dormitory, the old eunuch was standing quietly when he noticed someone approaching. He looked up and was slightly surprised to see that it was Chen Sining who had been missing for many days.

Chen Sining raised her hand: "You guys go down first, I'll visit my father."

The old eunuch knew the situation in the capital. With such chaos, the crazy Chen Jin had long been forgotten by everyone. He didn't know what kind of situation he would face when the army broke through the city. At this time, the third princess did not leave the capital but came to accompany Chen Jin. It’s considered filial.

Several old eunuchs bowed and then retreated.

Chen Sining waited until everyone left before opening the door to the dormitory. Xu Buling walked out of the darkness and followed him into it.

On the hospital bed, the monarch Chen Jin was still lying in a daze, unaware of what was happening outside. Even if he knew, he was too unconscious to react.

However, since the Xiliang army broke through, Chen Ju has never come to visit again. The only thing Chen Jin remembers is this son. He has not seen Chen Ju for a long time, and he clearly misses him subconsciously. When the palace door opened, he turned around. After looking over his head and realizing that it wasn't Chen Ju, he returned to his confused look.

Chen Sining felt sad in her heart, but she did not show her daughter's weakness in front of Xu Buling. She walked to the bed and knelt down, calling softly:

"Father?"

Chen Jin made a vague huh, which he couldn't understand at all, and probably didn't mean anything at all.

Xu Buling couldn't help but feel a little sad when he saw the skinny monarch. He walked up to him and squatted down beside Chen Sining. After looking at it carefully for a few times, he took out the medicine bottle from his arms, took out a pill, and put it in. Chen Jin's mouth.

The pills were found from Sikong Zhi. Although the properties of the pills were very similar to Chen Jin's symptoms, it was still unknown whether they would be useful.

Chen Sining clutched the corners of her skirt tightly, stared at Chen Jin's face, and called softly:

"Father? How do you feel?"

After Chen Jin swallowed the pill, his mood quickly calmed down a bit, and the paleness on his face also faded. However, the effect of the medicine obviously did not take effect so quickly. Soon after taking the pill, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Xu Buling waited nearby for a while, but it was difficult to wake Chen Jin up and stood up:

"It looks like it's working, just wait."

Chen Sining nodded slightly, did not get up, and still knelt beside the hospital bed, watching intently.

Seeing this, Xu Buling shook his head and did not bother. Instead, he looked at the portrait of the woman hanging on the wall.

The portrait is signed by Xu Danqing. It depicts the silhouette of a woman standing on a mountain ridge, looking at the wild geese flying south. Like other paintings, the face cannot be seen carefully, but the temperament and artistic conception are outlined just right, which can make people feel. The woman in the painting has a sentimental character.

Xuanhe Bakui had a rough life and almost never died well. Some people blame Xu Danqing for this, thinking that Xu Danqing is a broom star who brings bad luck to everyone.

Xu Buling thought so at first, but after walking so far, he gradually realized that this was entirely a trick of fate.

Xu Danqing may really just want to paint all the beauties in the world. The painting itself is correct, but the painting gives people fame. In this family world, the reputation of "powerful country and beautiful city" is definitely not a good thing for a woman, because from the moment she became famous, she lost everything about herself and was destined to become a bargaining chip in the hands of all forces.

How many people can live happily if they can only be used as a tool to fight for power throughout their lives and cannot live the life they want?

Xu Danqing may have discovered this when he stopped writing. Then even if he was forced to write again, he only painted the women around Xu Buling for so long, and he probably didn't want to make the same mistake again.

The rain curtain outside the window rustled. Xu Buling stood in front of the portrait and looked at it for a moment. Another voice came from beside the hospital bed:

"Father?"

Xu Buling turned to look, and Chen Si Ning's face showed an anxious and surprised look, looking at Chen Jin on the sickbed.

Chen Jin, who was skinny, had already regained her breathing, her eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes. Her originally turbid and lifeless eyes now showed a little confusion, and she might be a little dizzy and her eyes were not focused, but she had already responded to the voice beside her.

Chen Jin opened her mouth, turned her head, looked in the direction of the call, and recognized the person in front of her after a long while, and said hoarsely:

"Si Ning...how did you grow so big?"

As soon as she said this, Chen Si Ning's eyes were already filled with tears.

Since Chen Jin fell ill, Chen Si Ning has never heard Chen Jin speak normally again. The last time she was called that was probably when she was in her early teens. At that time, although Chen Jin was drinking all day, he was also sober and occasionally came to see her little daughter. At this time, when she heard her father speak again, Chen Si Ning was shocked to realize that so many years had passed, and she had grown into a big girl who was almost twenty years old.

Chen Si Ning's eyes were red. She was excited to see her father awake, and she was also angry at Zhou Qin and others for harming her father for so many years. She stammered for a long time without saying anything.

Chen Jin had been unconscious for too long, and even her sense of time was blurred. She first looked at the portrait on the wall, and when she saw Xu Bu Ling standing in the room, she was a little confused:

"Who is he? Why is Ju Er not here?"

Chen Si Ning looked back, but she didn't dare to tell Chen Jin about the current situation in South Vietnam. She just said softly:

"He cured my father, and my brother... is busy with government affairs."

Chen Jin nodded slightly, and her eyes swept across the bedroom, obviously trying to recall the past.

Xu Bu Ling walked up to her and said, "Your Highness, please go out first. I will talk to His Majesty."
