Lord, your mask fell off

Chapter 1198

After Xiao Ran's fever subsided, he stayed in the palace to rest. Although he had already woken up, his heart disease and physical illness kept coming back and forth. This made the imperial physician helpless, so he could only report the truth to Emperor Xixuan.

After the morning court today, Emperor Xixuan appeared in front of Xiao Ran's bed.

Xiao Ran's expression was lonely at this time, he didn't know what he was thinking, when he looked up, he suddenly saw the emperor standing by the couch, he was taken aback for a moment, then wanted to stand up and salute, "I don't know that the emperor is coming, my son is rude."

Emperor Xixuan walked up, pressed his shoulders, and said in a gentle voice, "You are still in good health, so there is no need to be polite, you can lie down and talk!"

Only then did Xiao Ran straighten up and sit on the wall of the bed, guiltily said, "Father, why are you here?"

I don't know how much my father watched me when I lost my composure just now.

Emperor Xixuan sat down on the chair brought by the palace man, looked at him at the same level, and said slowly, "The imperial doctor said that your condition is recurrent and difficult to treat. Father is worried about you, so he will come here after the court."

Xiao Ran's face was full of guilt, "It's the sons and ministers who are useless, and made the father, mother and concubine worry."

"You don't have to blame yourself. If it's a physical illness, then take medicine." Having said this, Emperor Xixuan considered his tone before saying, "But the imperial doctor said that you have heart disease, and heart disease needs heart medicine. Doctor, you can talk to Father, what are you worried about? Maybe Father can help you solve it. "

Xiao Ran looked into his father's loving eyes in shock, and listening to his gentle and persuasive voice, he suddenly wanted to tell him what was on his mind.

From childhood to adulthood, Concubine Mu was like a strict gentleman, she wanted him to do the best in everything, all the homework and skills were arranged for him to learn, and everything was required of him with the highest standards.

Compared with the strictness of the mother and concubine, the father is more like a good teacher and helpful friend. He will discuss and share with the father about anything, so the relationship between him and the father is even closer.

It's just that he is ashamed to say it at this time, because the person he likes is the nominal fiancee of the elder brother, and he is afraid that his father will scold him for disregarding human relations, so he is hesitating and entangled in his heart.

Emperor Xixuan saw the hesitation of the fourth son. In front of him, this son was more like a blank sheet of paper, without any exaggeration. He had dealt with all his life, whether it was civil and military officials, harem concubines, royal descendants , there are twists and turns in his heart, and he needs to be on guard all the time, so he prefers Xiao Ran who is like a blank sheet of paper and more similar to him.

"In front of Father, do you still need to hide?" Emperor Xixuan stroked his beard and looked at him encouragingly.

Xiao Ran hesitated for a while, and finally decided to find someone to confide in his inner torment.

Over the years, he has never told the second person about his secret love for Qingyan and his guilt towards the big emperor brother.

"Father, this son-in-law fell in love with a girl. Five years ago, son-in-law was young and frivolous, relying on his own status, he didn't take others seriously, so the first meeting with her was very dramatic, and son-in-law almost taught her a lesson. She, but," he fell into the memory, his whole face was filled with a smile, "she is a very smart and agile girl, and she didn't fear me at all because of my son-in-law's identity. On the contrary, she even taught me a lesson. pause."

He shook his head, as if he was very helpless to himself at the time, "At that time, Erchen must have been unconvinced, but I didn't expect that she was poisoned because of Erchen, and Erchen was very guilty. The second time, someone assassinated Erchen. She was implicated again and again, Erchen brought her many disasters, but she never blamed Erchen for this, so Erchen began to pay attention to her."

Emperor Xixuan listened quietly. Once the son in front of him started talking, he couldn't stop it anymore, as if he had been holding it in his heart for a long time and couldn't find an outlet to vent it.

"Of course, at that time, I was just simply curious about her, thinking how could she have so many great principles in her small body, she was sensible and smart, gradually, we became friends," Xiao Ran looked up at this point Looking at Emperor Xixuan, with a little excitement in his eyes, "Father, do you know? It turns out that having friends is such a feeling. It's very satisfying to have blessings and share hardships. I used to think that I didn't need friends until I met After falling in love with her, I realized that there are still many things in the world that I have never touched, it is such a novelty."

His eyes were shining, bright and clear, Emperor Xixuan was surprised in his heart, Rao had raised him for so many years, and had never seen him like this.

"The more I get along with her, the more I appreciate her. Gradually, she slowly changes in my heart. When I see her, my heart beats faster, my face turns red and hot, and I can't help but get nervous when talking to her. I care about myself. The image in front of me, and I will always pay attention to her, every frown and smile of her can be cherished in my heart for a long time, until the five years of separation, I always rely on those memories to miss her, now she returns Only then did Erchen realize that he could no longer let her go."

Xiao Ran was very serious and serious, but he couldn't hide his loneliness in his eyes.

Seeing the appearance of his youngest son, Emperor Xixuan, as someone who had experienced it, could already see that his love was deeply rooted. Thinking of the identity of that person, Emperor Xixuan felt his whole head start to ache.

"The girl you're talking about is Chu Qingyan from Xiao Xu's family, right?"

Xiao Ran was shocked, he didn't expect his father to know!

But he was not surprised when he thought that his father was the smartest person he knew.

He touched his nose, his eyes fluttered, and he didn't dare to look directly at his father, "Father, if the person I said was her, would you be angry? I don't care about human relations, and I fell in love with my future sister-in-law." .”

Emperor Xixuan sighed heavily, shook his head and said, "However, you, you, why are you so confused?"

Xiao Ran lowered his head, and retorted, "Father, I can't control the matter of feelings. If it wants to be tempted, I can't control it. I can only watch myself fall soberly."

Emperor Xixuan was speechless by his words, because he could feel this feeling, who hadn't been emotional when he was young?

The two were silent for a while, as if they both needed time to sort out the matter.

After a while, Xiao Ran suddenly raised his head, "Father, I have a question that I would like to ask you."

In the past, whenever Xiao Ran was confused, he always came to ask him for advice, so Emperor Xixuan nodded to signal him to speak up.

Xiao Ran took a deep breath, and then asked an irrelevant question, "Father, if there was something you wanted very much, what would you do?"

Emperor Xixuan said without thinking, "Try to get it."

As soon as the words fell, Emperor Xixuan's heart skipped a beat before he realized what he was asking.

I saw Xiao Ran's eyes suddenly lit up, he was so bright!
