Chapter 411 Farewell Today

Emperor Qitai vomited blood immediately after hearing the news, and before he even had time to give more specific orders, he fainted.

In the evening of this day, all the imperial doctors of the Imperial Hospital were called into the palace, no matter whether they were on duty in the palace or not.

Keen people have already detected some signs of drastic changes.

Chen Yicong's day went as usual.

He got up early in the morning to pay respects to Emperor Qitai, and then quickly returned to the cabinet to continue reading the papers, but it was just before nightfall, and the maid by Zhen's side came over in person, asking him to put down what he was doing and go back quickly. palace.

Chen Yicong guessed something, but he didn't dare to follow the guess - at least in the morning, he had a chat with his father.

During this period of time, Emperor Qitai's complexion was pale, and he did not always look coldly at him like before.

The weak father finally showed him a gentle face, but from the eyes of Emperor Qitai, Chen Yicong always felt that something was wrong, and the sick father seemed to have a lot of fear for no reason.

When the two of them were talking, he rarely looked directly into his eyes as before.

Chen Yicong didn't understand the reason for all this. He thought it might be because the illness consumed the spirit of the person, so his father was unwilling to look into the eyes of others.

Or maybe his father did something wrong - when Chen Yicong himself made a mistake, he also didn't dare to look into Zhen's eyes.

He asked his mother, Master Zhang and Master Sun, but no one would tell him what happened the night he was besieged by Song Bozong in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Why did my father become ill after that night.

But he always felt that his father would gradually get better.

But now, what is the reason for the mother suddenly calling him into the palace urgently.

……

Many people stood outside Sanxi Hall.

Zhang Shouzhong and Sun Beiji were also among the crowd.

Zhang Shouzhong's eyes were red again - he really didn't expect that Emperor Qitai's body would turn down so sharply after hearing the news from the frontier.

"Shouzhong," Sun Beiji called out in a low voice, "...Look, His Royal Highness is here."

Accompanied by the eunuch's announcement, Chen Yicong appeared at the door of Sanxi Hall.

Everyone fell silent for a moment, and their eyes turned to His Highness the Crown Prince who was striding forward.

Chen Yicong's hair is tied with a jade crown, which makes him look even more majestic under the lights at night.

Behind Chen Yicong, a line of guards followed closely - people recognized this special armor, this is the tomb guard who returned from Yongling.

"Your Highness, you cannot bring troops in." Emperor Qitai's personal eunuch greeted him, "After all, this is..."

Only then did Chen Yicong realize that this matter was inappropriate, he turned around and gave a few orders, and the mausoleum guard exited the courtyard of Sanxitang.

Sun Beiji stared at the future prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty in front of him, and Chen Yicong's regal air in his gestures made the old man jealous for a while.

Zhang Shouzhong saw the emotion in Sun Beiji's eyes, "What is Mr. Ge thinking?"

"I remembered back then, when the first emperor came to the throne." Sun Beiji said in a low voice, "At that time, the first emperor was younger than the prince now, but his demeanor was exactly the same..."

It wasn't until Chen Yicong entered the gate of Sanxi Hall two or three steps at a time that Sun Beiji looked away, looked at Zhang Shouzhong, and said in a low voice, "Shouzhong, don't blame yourself for what happened today, I think, Might be a good thing."

Zhang Shouzhong was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood Sun Beiji's deep meaning.

After Chen Yicong entered the gate of the main hall of Sanxi Hall, the palace servants immediately went to the inner room to communicate.But I don't know why, after waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the palace personnel inside came out and called him in.

While waiting outside, Chen Yicong learned the general situation from the palace population who has been serving here. It turns out that after Zhang Shouzhong came to report in the afternoon, the emperor has been not well, and even in his sleep he exclaimed, "The golden man is calling." ".

After hearing this, Chen Yicong suddenly remembered the exhortations given to him by the emperor's grandfather before his trip, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings.

After entering the house, Mrs. Zhen and several eunuchs were taking care of the imperial court, and several doctors were preparing prescriptions.

Through the gauze curtain on the roof, Chen Yicong saw his father lying there.

Zhen Shi turned her head and saw that Chen Yicong had arrived, so she leaned over and whispered in Emperor Qitai's ear.

Emperor Qitai slowly opened his eyes.

Chen Yicong was stunned there - only a few hours before and after, his father's face had already revealed the scene of the next life, and the hard work of the past few days had made Chen Yicong a little numb - since the death of the emperor's grandfather and his narrow escape, his life It is almost filled with the affairs of the state prison, and there is no time to think about other things.

But at this moment, all the complicated affairs of the court disappeared in an instant, and his father cast his gaze on him, making Chen Yicong feel desolate in his heart.

Zhen Shi held back her tears and waved to Chen Yicong.

Chen Yicong's throat moved, and he knelt down in front of Emperor Qitai.

The imperial physicians retreated sparsely, and the room became quiet.

Emperor Qitai pushed Zhen's hand, "...you, you go out, let me... let me and Cong'er be alone...but for a while."

Zhen Shi was taken aback for a moment, but she still got up slowly and walked out.

Chen Yicong became afraid instinctively.

What are you afraid of?Chen Yicong couldn't explain clearly, this kind of fear was almost engraved in his bones, which made him a little afraid to face his father who seemed to be dying soon.

He was afraid to face this matter alone, even though he had overthrown and refuted this father in his heart countless times, as if he and his father were standing at the two ends of the balance, and he almost felt that he would be able to bear it. When recalling all his father's doubts and expectations...

Suddenly my father was about to fall off the other end of the scale.

Chen Yicong slowly approached the bed, and at this moment, Emperor Qitai suddenly held his hand.

……

Mrs. Zhen was weeping in the side hall, she only lit a candle on the table, the whole room was extremely dark.After a while, Chen Yicong walked in with some heavy steps.

Zhen Shi was slightly taken aback, "Why did you come out?"

"Father has finished everything he wanted to say to me," Chen Yicong lowered his head and said, "Master Zhang and Master Sun have just entered... I'm here to see the queen mother."

Zhen Shi let out a choked sigh.

"...What did you say?"

Chen Yicong's eyes fell on the ground, "He said that I have to shoulder the responsibility, and I will shoulder the burden of the world from now on..."

Zhen's eye circles turned red immediately, she took a breath slowly, turned her face away, and didn't look at the prince again.

"...He also said, let me not blame him, please forgive him."

Chen Yicong's voice was a little trembling, and there was a little doubt - he didn't know why his father said this to himself. Although he did have some rebellious actions in the past few years, he never resented this in his heart. Father.

Or, did I inadvertently do something that I didn't even notice, which caused my father to be so worried?

"Mother Concubine...I..." Chen Yicong didn't know how to speak, he suddenly blamed himself, if he knew that the parting was today, he would definitely spend more time with Emperor Qitai's sick bed.

Zhen shi lowered her head and buried her face in the palms of her hands.
