The legitimate daughter becomes cannon fodder? Rebirth to overthrow the system's fatality

Chu Heng arrived at the Palace of Tranquil Longevity and found that there were only a few palace servants outside the palace. It seemed that he was the only one who knew that his father was not well.

Eunuch Quan came out with a bowl of medicine and handed it to the young eunuch, "Go, bring it back when it's heated up."

When he turned around and saw Chu Heng, his face lit up with joy.

"Your Highness, please go in and persuade His Majesty."

Chu Heng walked in quickly: "What's going on? Why don't you call the imperial physician when father is not well?"

Eunuch Quan followed behind Chu Heng, his face full of worry: "His Majesty just vomited blood again, and he did not allow me to summon the imperial physician. I was so anxious that I didn't know what to do, so I had to go find His Highness."

When Chu Heng entered the room, he saw Emperor Zhaolie leaning against the head of the bed with his eyes closed. His face was purple and even his lips were black.

"Father."

Emperor Zhaolie slowly opened his eyes. He looked at Eunuch Quan sharply, and Eunuch Quan lowered his head.

"I said, don't make it public."

Chu Heng stepped forward and asked coldly, "Why don't you summon the imperial physician?"

"It's useless. If the imperial physician was useful, I would have recovered long ago. Not only is Emperor Xuan useless, but it will also leak out... cough cough..."

Before he could finish his words, Emperor Zhaolie started coughing uncontrollably.

Eunuch Quan had expected this. He stepped forward and took the spittoon to catch the blood from Emperor Zhaolie's mouth, then brought warm water for him to rinse his mouth.

Seeing this scene, Chu Heng frowned even more tightly.

"Call the imperial physician!" Chu Heng looked at Mengzhou who was waiting on the side and gave the order in a cold voice.

Emperor Zhaolie quickly stopped him: "I said it's useless. I'm not sick, I'm poisoned!"

Chu Heng showed a trace of shock in his eyes: "Poison? Who gave it?"

Emperor Zhaolie looked at Chu Heng with complicated feelings, his mind in turmoil, regret and nostalgia flooding over him.

"Your mother."

Chu Heng's eyes widened.

Emperor Zhaolie now seemed to be in better spirits, as if he had just spit out a mouthful of blood.

He looked at Chu Heng, as if he saw the deceased person through him.

"I am a strong-willed person. I will get what I want, so I am honored with the title Zhaolie."

"When I went south that year and met your mother in Gusu, I understood what it meant to 'look into each other's eyes with infinite meaning, as if we had met in a previous life'."

"At that time, the position of empress was vacant, and the one with the highest popularity was Wei Lingyi, the daughter of the Wei family. It was I who knelt in front of your royal grandfather for three days and three nights, and your mother finally entered the palace."

"After your royal grandfather passed away, I overruled all opposition and canonized your mother as the queen."

"Your mother gave birth to two sons for me. You brothers are smarter than each other. At that time, I was so proud that I ignored the dangers beneath the calm."

"I was too conceited and thought I could protect you and your two children. I appointed your brother as the crown prince, which angered the Wei family and the Shangguan Jing family, and they joined forces."

"At the same time, Northern Qi started a rebellion, and your brother got involved in the turmoil."

"When I rushed to the enclosure, your brother had already been beheaded..."

"In order to protect your mother and you, I can only abandon your brother and let him die with a stigma. Your mother blames me and hates me..."

Chu Heng listened silently, tightening and unclenching his fists, and clenching his teeth tightly.

"Since you brought her back to the palace, you should protect her! Since you don't have the ability to keep her safe for the rest of her life, then don't provoke her!" Chu Heng said in a low voice.

"Yes, I gave the women in the harem reasons to be jealous of her, but I was unable to protect her. She should hate me, so I should bear the poison. Before, I always wanted to pave the way for you, and I couldn't die yet, but now seeing that you have grown up so well, not inferior to your brother, I am relieved. It's time for me to go see your mother..."

Chu Heng gritted his teeth and said, "You want to see the Queen Mother, and I don't care whether she is willing to see you or not!"

Emperor Zhaolie's eyes dimmed.

Seeing him like this, Chu Heng stopped talking.

He couldn't bear to see him waiting to die, and years of resentment made his caring words feel like piercing needles.

When Emperor Zhaolie saw him like this, a smile appeared on his face.

This guy cares about him.

"Don't worry, I won't die for the time being, just do whatever you want."

Chu Heng looked at Eunuch Quan: "Is there an antidote for this poison?"

"This is the poison of the Judge of Life and Death. No one else can cure it unless we find the Judge of Life and Death, Yan Guihong." Eunuch Quan said with a sad face.

Chu Heng's eyes lit up.

He remembered that Master Yan said he knew his mother, and it turned out that the poison was given to his mother by Master Yan.

He couldn't find Master Yan, but Master Yan's disciple could give it a try.

He took out a few small porcelain bottles from his sleeve, selected one of them, poured out a pill and handed it to Emperor Zhaolie.

"Take it and have a good rest."

This medicine was given to me by Cheng Jiuyuan before I went to Yancheng last time, and there is still a lot left.

Although this medicine cannot detoxify him, it can make him feel better.

Emperor Zhaolie waved his hand: "No need..."

Chu Heng looked at him persistently without taking his hand away.

Emperor Zhaolie sighed, took the pill and swallowed it.

Eunuch Quan and Mengzhou watched in silence.

Everything the emperor eats must be tested for poison, but the emperor took the medicine given by the Fifth Prince without hesitation, which shows how much he trusts the Fifth Prince.

Emperor Zhaolie had no hope at first, but after taking the pill, the original burning sensation from mouth to throat and then to chest gradually disappeared, replaced by a cool feeling, and even his breathing became smoother.

"What kind of medicine is this?" Eunuch Quan asked immediately when he saw that Emperor Zhaolie's complexion had improved a lot.

Chu Heng handed the small porcelain bottle to Eunuch Quan: "Take one pill every day to relieve the pain."

After saying this, he bowed to Emperor Zhaolie and strode out.

Eunuch Quan's voice came from behind: "Your Majesty, you see that His Highness still cares about you."

"That boy..."

There was relief and smile in Emperor Zhaolie's voice. Chu Heng paused for a moment, then quickly walked out of the Yangxin Palace.

After leaving the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, he slowed down his pace.

It was still dark now, so it was not convenient for him to break into the girl's bedroom at night.

He resented his father, the emperor, but he also knew deep down that, sitting in that position, there were many things that were beyond his control.

If you are too willful in the royal family, you will pay a terrible price.

Therefore, he has always been restrained and good at disguising himself.

He concealed his strength and built up his power step by step, willing to avenge his mother and brother even at the risk of his life.

It’s just that he broke into the Yunwu Mountain of Gusu, and she also broke into his life.

He, who had originally been reckless, began to have concerns.

He was afraid that he couldn't protect her.

From the beginning, he wanted to guard and protect her as an ally. Even if he lost his life in the end, she would only lose an ally.

But when it comes to love, it's not determined by the body, it's determined by the heart.

Now, he also began to fear death and leaving her alone.

Chu Heng sat on a strange rock by the lake. A crescent moon in the sky appeared and disappeared in the floating clouds. The cold moonlight sprinkled on him, making him feel a little desolate and dreamy.

Chi Zhang and Shan Lan stood not far away holding swords and did not come forward to disturb them.

He sat there until dawn in the east, then he stood up and returned to the Purple Palace, washed up, and left the palace.
