Chapter 123: Duplicity

Emperor Yuan sat on the table, and Xiao Qiheng sat under the hall.

The father and son are in the same palace, but they have not seen each other for ten years. Both are no longer what each other remembers. One has grown up, while the other has grown old.

A few years, ten years, seem to be very long, but also very short.

Even after the Emperor Yuan was resting, his spirits were still not very good. He was slightly taken aback when he saw Xiao Qiheng, his eyes were tightly looking at Xiao Qiheng, as if he wanted to see from his face what he had in his memory.

Unfortunately, he failed.

The young prince who was impressed by the amazing talents can no longer look like him. The edges and ambitions on his body seem to have been polished, and he slowly transformed into the now silent and indifferent youth.

Xiao Qiheng looked at him at each other, slowly raised his hand, folded his left hand on the back of his right hand, bowed his head slightly, and saluted: "Erchen Xiao Qiheng, today I am fortunate to have the grace of my father to move away from the Qinghe Temple, and I would like to thank you. It's just a child minister. With inconvenient legs, I can’t kneel down to my father and hope that my father will forgive me.”

His feet were ill and he couldn't salute, but Jiang Li couldn't do it, so he knelt to the side.

After listening to Xiao Qiheng's words, the Emperor Yuan's eyes fell on his legs, and his expression moved slightly: "Stop the ceremony."

Xiao Qiheng: "Thank you Father Emperor."

"Legs, what happened?" Yuan Emperor asked.

"Back to my father, my son was seriously injured. The imperial physician said that he was lucky to be able to save his life. This leg..." Xiao Qiheng shook his head, "I'm afraid it will be difficult to heal."

When he said this, his expression was still indifferent, as if he had accepted the fact that he might be disabled for life.

The emperor Yuan still remembered in a trance that when he learned the news of his crippled legs, his whole person collapsed, especially after he learned about the cause of the death of Queen Shuyan, he climbed up to him in spite of the imperial dissuasion, and his eyes were sobbing blood. An angry and resentful look.

At that time, he was extreme, violent, and even contradicted himself, saying that if he were not faint and incompetent to listen to the slander, his mother and queen would not die, and there was no trace of what a prince should look like. It was exactly the same. Under his furious anger, he imprisoned him, who was still seriously injured, in Qinghe Hall.

Since then, Concubine Ling Gui has repeatedly provoke right and wrong in her ears, making herself more and more disappointed with this once-proud son, and then uniting with the queen to dictate himself, she hates him to the extreme, so that there is no more in the whole dynasty. People dare to prescribe his name in front of him, and he is in the Qinghe Temple, and it takes ten years to pass.

Ten years, what a long time.

Looking at the son he loved the most at the time, Yuan Emperor's cold and merciless heart was a little bit guilt slowly growing, thinking that if the imperial physician were to treat him with all his strength, the situation might be different.

Thinking of this, the Emperor Yuan said to Chen Gonggong: "Tell them to go to the East Palace to treat the prince tomorrow. No matter what methods and medicinal materials are used, they must try their best to treat the prince."

Duke Chen responded: "Yes, the emperor."

"My son thanked my father." Xiao Qiheng once again arched his hands.

The father and son hadn't seen each other for more than two years, and there were many things in the past between the two. They were relatively speechless. So after thanking them, the Emperor Yuan used Xiao Qiheng to take more rest and let him retreat.

After Xiao Qiheng left, Emperor Yuan was silent for a long while looking at the direction he was leaving, and suddenly asked Grandpa Chen: "You said, does he still hate me?"

He is naturally referring to Xiao Qiheng.

Gonggong Chen comforted him softly: "His Royal Highness is like a mirror. He is a person who knows things and does not know the gift. If you are more graceful, if you allow him to return to the Eastern Palace, he will naturally be grateful for the emperor's grace. There is no reason to hold hatred."

Emperor Yuan's expression was complicated: "Is that so?"

"Naturally." Chen Gonggong said with a smile, "Isn't there a saying called'father and son have overnight hatred'? His Royal Highness just lifted the ban from the Qinghe Temple, and in a blink of an eye he came to thank you, knowing that you are resting, and have been waiting outside the palace. It's a sincere heart."

The Emperor Yuan did not speak, but suddenly remembered that many years ago, Xiao Qiheng was scolded by himself when he was young, and waited outside the palace for an hour to plead guilty to himself.

One is a teenager and the other is a young man. It seems that he is still his proudest son.

Xiao Qiheng was his prince, and the sky was full of auspiciousness when he was born. Even Qin Tianjian said that the prince's auspicious body can bring blessings to the people around him, and it is the queen dowager who has been lingering on the sick bed the day after he was born. Then he got better and proved his Furui spirit.

Among so many sons, Xiao Qiheng is the one who is most like him, smart, sensible, and courageous.

When Xiao Qiheng was fourteen years old, he followed General Qu Yan to experience outside the pass. In the first battle of Yangu, he joined Qu Yanli with the outside, burned the enemy's grain and grass, cut the enemy's back, and took down Quliangguan in one fell swoop.

If it didn’t happen at the beginning...

When the Emperor Yuan was in memory, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside. Grandpa Chen looked up and saw a man in a white robe stepping forward. From the sideburns dyed with white snow, he seemed to be forty years old. , But his face looks younger.

There is only one person who can go straight to Qianhe Palace without notification. There is only one person in the huge palace, and that is Sheng Hexuan, the national teacher of the Yuan Dynasty.

When Grandpa Chen saw the opponent, he bent down and said to the Yuan Emperor who was still in a trance: "The emperor, the national teacher is here."

The word "national teacher" easily evoked the Yuan Emperor's attention. He raised his head and saw the white-clothed man walking slowly, his expression moved, and he stood up from the table: "The national teacher is here."

Sheng Hexuan nodded and bowed his hand in salute: "I have seen the emperor."

"The national teacher does not need to be polite." Yuan Emperor waved his hand and made a "please" gesture to the side, which was enough to show that he valued the national teacher. "Sit here."

"Xie Emperor."

The two of them were seated. After the tea, Grandpa Chen retreated as usual and guarded outside the door.

In the palace, Sheng Hexuan took a sip of tea and stretched out his hand to the Emperor Yuan. The Emperor Yuan handed him his wrist. He put his **** in the veins of the opponent and closed his eyes for diagnosis.

After a while, Sheng Hexuan withdrew his hand and said: "The emperor has been overwhelmed recently, and his heart palpitations are quite obvious, and he needs more training and conditioning."

Emperor Yuan rubbed his eyebrows, his eyebrows distended, he was not concerned about this: "When the teacher came here just now, he met the prince."

"Naturally." Sheng Hexuan said, "His Royal Highness is here to thank you?"

The Emperor Yuan nodded, his expression a little more eager than before: "Guo Shi, I have made an order to lift the prince's prohibition. In this way, may the sin barrier be offset?"

Sheng Hexuan pondered. The Emperor Yuan looked at him with some worry in his eyes. He wanted to urge the other party to ask for an answer, but he was afraid that his impatience would miss God's will.

Fortunately, Sheng Hexuan didn't stay silent for long, and said: "The emperor can rest assured, although all cause and effect have their own destiny, it is not impossible to reverse the destiny of the day after tomorrow. It is just that the road to longevity is long and difficult, and the emperor should not be impatient."

Hearing what he said, Emperor Yuan's hanging heart slowly relaxed: "So, there is a teacher of Lao Guo."

Sheng Hexuan handed over: "It is the duty of a minister."

After speaking, he took out an emerald green jade bottle from his sleeve and handed it to the Emperor Yuan: "This is a health-preserving pill that has just been refined. The emperor has one pill a day. It can treat restlessness and help the emperor get rid of the nightmare as soon as possible. Concentrate on monasticism."

Emperor Yuan took it, his expression relaxed a lot, and he poured a cup of tea for Sheng Hexuan himself, and said with a smile: "I have made the national teacher bother."

Sheng Hexuan was not flattered by his actions, and he was still in a calm manner.

On the other side, Jiang Li pushed Xiao Qiheng towards the East Palace, but he was still thinking about the man in white that he saw outside the palace in Qianhe.

The other party's temples were white, but his face was clear and handsome. From his appearance, he was only in his early thirties. There was a kind of dust-free air all over his body, like a worldly expert.

"That's my master of the country, Sheng Hexuan." Xiao Qiheng saw that he looked back twice in a row just now, knowing what he was curious about, and aloud to explain his confusion.

"He is Sheng Hexuan?" Jiang Li was a little surprised.

Sheng Hexuan was only thirty-six years old, but he was a teacher of a country in the Yuan Dynasty, and he was deeply trusted by the emperor.

Jiang Li had heard of this person a long time ago, but it was the first time he saw him.

"Like a person in a deep city." Jiang Li commented. Although he has never had contact with the other party, he felt that the other party was an extremely dangerous person just after the encounter just now.

"Don't pay attention to him, and don't get close to him." Xiao Qiheng exhorted.

"Yeah." Jiang Li nodded. As long as the other party doesn't provoke him, he will naturally not ask for trouble.

The two returned to the East Palace. As soon as they entered the yard, they heard Xiaoluzi directing the maids and eunuchs to work. Their voices were so loud that they would not be heard by others: "You, move these potted flowers to the main hall and put them in On the flower stand in front of the window, this is His Royal Highness’s favorite orchid. Be careful. And you, move Jiangli’s chili to the backyard, and be careful not to damage it; you, you, you, take the yard Clean up the weeds, this grass is taller than me, what does it look like!"

Jiang Li saw him wearing an apron akimbo and gesturing, which was quite funny. He walked behind him in fear and patted him on the shoulder. He said, "Thanks for your hard work, you can hear your loud voice outside the door."

Xiao Luzi was taken aback by him. He was about to get angry. When he turned around, he saw that Xiao Qiheng was also back. He knelt down and asked for peace: "His Royal Highness."

Others also knelt down one after another: "His Royal Highness."

Xiao Qiheng waved his hand, turned the wheelchair to the main hall, Jiang Li followed closely.

Back in the inner hall, Xiao Qiheng took out a white jade bottle from the hidden compartment of the drawer, poured out a brown pill from it, and handed it to Jiang Li, "Eat it."

"Oh." Jiang Li picked up the pill, stuffed it into his mouth without asking, and swallowed it.

Seeing this, Xiao Qiheng looked at him with deep eyes: "Don't you ask Gu what is this? Are you afraid that what Gu will give you is poison?"

"Not afraid." Jiang Li shook his head, put his hands on the armrests of the wheelchair, looked down at him, and said with a smile, "His Royal Highness is definitely not willing to give me poison. …Well!"

His words stopped abruptly, his eyes widened slightly, his eyes were full of disbelief and he looked at Xiao Qiheng, pressing his neck with one hand, his face was painful, and he fell to the ground!

Seeing this, Xiao Qiheng was shocked: "What's wrong with you?!"

Jiang Li lay on the ground and twitched, with blood dripping from the corners of his lips. He reached out and grabbed Xiao Qiheng's hem, and said in a difficult tone: "His Royal Highness...you really want to kill...me?"

Xiao Qiheng was frightened by his appearance, and suddenly looked at the medicine bottle in his hand: "Impossible... Jiang Li?! Jiang Li!"

He hurriedly called Jiang Li’s name, and the bottle in his hand fell to the ground, but he had no time to take care of it. Seeing Jiang Li’s legs on the ground, his legs disappeared. He had never had the pain in his heart before, and his eyes were red. In a hurry, he bent down and wanted to touch the other person, but forgot that his legs were inconvenient, so he threw himself down and pressed against Jiang Li's body.

And at this moment, the person who should have been breathless suddenly reached out and hugged his back, and a low laugh sounded in his ears: "Your Majesty, seeing you are so nervous, I know you are really reluctant to kill. I."

Xiao Qiheng: "..."

…Little bastard, you are so lawless!
