I have a disease, do you have a doctor?

at night.Inside the Leyang Hall.

Qiu Chen walked into the hall slowly, just happened to run into the servant who came out from the inner room.The servant saluted him and said softly: "Your Majesty is weak, and fell asleep again at this moment."

Qiu Chen pursed his lips, didn't say much, just nodded slightly, and walked slowly behind the screen.

There was no one in the hall, only Emperor Ningyuan was asleep on the couch.He slept very restlessly,? He muttered something in his mouth.Qiu Chen listened intently for a while, but didn't hear clearly, so he simply gave up.

Qiu Chen stood quietly in front of the couch, staring at his nominal father, the parents who killed him, the person who made half of his life miserable.Looking at the other party, thinking of this person's usual face, he just felt a darkness in his heart, and various indescribable emotions surged in his heart, which made him clench his teeth unconsciously.

Qiu Chen finally took a deep breath, calmed down a bit, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, put it on Emperor Ning Yuan's wrist, and began to diagnose the other party's pulse.

Emperor Ning Yuan's health is worse than he expected. The other party already has an old disease, and he suffered a stroke a few days ago. I am afraid that time is running out.It's just that the other party's spirit hasn't been too bad recently, and Qiu Chen can't say for sure how long it will last.

Qiu Chen withdrew his hand on the opponent's veins, and threw the handkerchief aside in disgust, then stood up again.

Although Emperor Ning Yuan was still asleep, he had already started to roll his eyes frequently, and he probably would wake up in a short time.Qiu Chen came to the table lightly, made a new pot of tea, and took out a small bottle from his cuff.

He stared at the vial with slight hesitation, and did not pour the contents into the teacup for a long time.

While hesitating, he suddenly heard Emperor Ningyuan behind him shout something again.Qiu Chen was startled, and the thing in his hand almost fell to the ground.He turned around abruptly, and heard Emperor Ning Yuan babbled again in his sleep.

Qiu Chen suddenly opened his eyes wide.Because this time he heard clearly that what Emperor Ning Yuan called was actually the word "Bai Liang".

Qiu Chen felt as if struck by lightning when he heard the two words, he immediately felt so sick that he almost wanted to spit it out.He quickly put the bottle into his sleeve, took two steps forward, and stared at the person on the couch with a dark face.

After a while, Emperor Ningyuan woke up leisurely.

He raised his eyes to see Qiu Chen, and didn't notice the resentment on the other side's face, but said indifferently: "Here we come."

Qiu Chen stood there without moving, and after a while, said coldly: "You called me over, what's the matter?"

Emperor Ning Yuan slowly supported the edge of the bed and sat up. Qiu Chen just looked at him coldly from the beginning to the end, without any intention of supporting him.The old emperor coughed a few times, his face was full of exhaustion, he stared at Qiu Chen for a moment, and said helplessly: "Why do you always treat me like an enemy? Can't you talk to me if you have nothing to do? "

Qiu Chen sneered, and just said: "But I'm afraid father doesn't just want to chat with his son."

Emperor Ning Yuan snorted upon hearing the words: "Yes, you are very smart, but you understand me well enough."

Qiu Chen said calmly, "Don't dare."

Emperor Ning Yuan took a sip of tea, stared at Qiu Chen, and finally said lightly: "As long as you are no longer with him, I will make you the crown prince immediately."

Qiu Chen sneered when he heard this.He had guessed the result early in the morning, but he still couldn't help laughing.

His hands were tightly clenched into fists, and he was silent for a long time before gritting his teeth and uttering a sentence: "Who cares."

Emperor Ning Yuan seemed to have expected Qiu Chen to answer this way. He raised his eyes to Qiu Chen, his eyes full of oppression: "His life is ultimately in my hands. You have to remember, I'm not dead yet." , you haven't succeeded to the throne yet, you don't really think that because of you, I won't dare to kill a fool who has no family background, do you?"

Qiu Chen said calmly, "No, of course you dare. Why don't you?"

Emperor Ning Yuan was a little surprised when he heard Qiu Chen's answer.He couldn't help asking suspiciously, "What do you mean?"

Qiu Chen stared fixedly at Emperor Ning Yuan, and said with a smirk: "Yao Xue and I have formed the same-hearted Gu long ago, if he dies, I will not be able to live."

Emperor Ning Yuan was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and a savage look flashed across his face for a moment.But he quickly suppressed the fleeting surprise in his eyes, glanced back and forth on Qiu Chen's face, and said coldly: "You think I dare not kill you? Even if you die, there is still Yijing. Chu Xi this time They were killed in battle, the Chu family suffered heavy casualties, and they were no longer able to participate in politics, which just solved a serious problem in my heart. Without these constraints, I can safely appoint Yijing as a reserve. Do you think you are still qualified to negotiate terms with me? ?”

When Qiu Chen heard these words, he felt a chill in his heart.The Chu family did a lot to put down the rebellion, Chu Xi died in battle, and the rest of the clan also suffered heavy casualties, but in the eyes of Emperor Ning Yuan, they were so insignificant.He thought of what had happened to the Li family before, and he felt a surge of disgust in his heart.

Emperor Ningyuan may be a qualified king, but he is really not a qualified elder.Chu Xi is Qi Wenying's husband after all, but his life is worthless in the eyes of Emperor Ning Yuan.Emperor Ningyuan never considered how the Chu clan's casualties would harm Qi Wenying and Yijing.Similarly, Qiu Chen is the only son of Emperor Ning Yuan, but when Emperor Ning Yuan got rid of his biological mother, Bai Liang, he could also not blink his eyes.Emperor Ningyuan abandoned everything that threatened the throne and was not beneficial to the rule.

Qiu Chen just stared at Emperor Ning Yuan viciously for a while, the two eyes met, and after a stalemate for a while, Qiu Chen finally gritted his teeth and said, "No, you won't."

Although Emperor Ningyuan's words were impeccable, Qiu Chen knew in his heart that since Emperor Ningyuan intended to make himself a reserve, he would not change his mind easily.Even...even if the other party had this idea, he would never let Emperor Ning Yuan lead him by the nose, and never let Yao Xue suffer any harm.

Qiu Chen clenched his fists tightly, and finally said indifferently: "Father is ill, please take care of him. My son will retire."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the room quickly.

When Qiu Chen walked to the entrance of the hall, he happened to run into a somewhat unfamiliar internal official, who was walking into the hall with a bowl of soup and medicine.

When Qiu Chen saw this, his heart moved, and he said in a deep voice, "Stop."

The internal official was new here, seeing Qiu Chen's hostile expression, he was immediately taken aback, stopped hastily, saluted and said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness."

Qiu Chen crossed his arms, pretending to question, "What kind of medicine are these? Open it up and let me see."

The internal officials did not suspect him, opened the medicine cup respectfully, and presented it in front of Qiu Chen.Qiu Chen pretended to smell it, and seeing the other party lowered his head, he flicked his sleeve lightly, and poured the liquid from the small bottle just now into the medicine cup without showing any trace.

After finishing all this, he straightened up and said grandly: "No problem, you can go."

……

With a gloomy face, Qiu Chen walked through the corridors of the inner palace.He hurried away for a while, and the complex emotions of anger and helplessness in his heart calmed down a little.When he passed the small garden, he saw a familiar figure inside.

Qi Wenying was sitting on the porch in the garden, staring down at something in her hand.

Qiu Chen hesitated for a moment, finally pursed his lips, and walked forward lightly.

Although his movements were light, Qi Wenying still sensed that someone was coming, and slowly raised her head.

Her eyes were a little swollen, and there were two deep bruises under her eyes, and her face was pale and haggard.Seeing Qiu Chen approaching, she smiled at him helplessly, and concealed it: "I made you laugh."

Qiu Chen shook his head, returned a faint smile to the other party, leaned over and sat down beside Qi Wenying.

Only then did he see clearly that the object in the other party's hand was actually an exquisitely crafted handkerchief with light pink cherry blossoms embroidered with thin silk thread.

Seeing Qiuchen staring at the handkerchief in her hand, Qi Wenying said softly, "This is the handkerchief my husband gave me the year he married me. He once said that the flowers embroidered on it , which reflects my name."

Looking at the delicate and beautiful flowers on the handkerchief, Qiu Chen didn't know what to say for a while.

But Qi Wenying just continued on her own: "I have liked him since I was a child, and when I was sixteen or seventeen years old, I begged my father to give us a marriage. At that time, perhaps my father never thought about it. However, the Chu family and I will one day become a serious problem in his heart. If he had known this, he would definitely not have allowed me to marry Chu Xi. If this was the case, Chu Xi, maybe Chu Xi would not have died ... If it wasn't for me, if it wasn't for me begging my father back then..." When she said this, she couldn't hold back anymore, and raised her hands to cover her face.

Seeing her suffering so badly, Qiu Chen felt very uncomfortable.He was silent for a while, and finally he comforted him: "It's a good place for a man to die in battle. He has known you since childhood, and they are in love with each other. Marriage is a matter of course. You don't need to take all the blame on yourself. "

When Qi Wenying heard the words, she just shook her head vigorously. She choked up and said, "That's not the case. My husband is superb in martial arts and invincible. I know this better than anyone else. On that day, I went to identify his dead body." , but found that his body was covered with bluish-gray plaques. The autopsy author said that this is ghost sore disease that is raging in the northwest, and judging from its characteristics, it has reached the advanced stage."

When Qiu Chen heard this, he was startled.He is no stranger to ghost sores. This disease is very common in Northwest China. Most of the patients are foreigners. Because the local water, soil and climate are not suitable, it is easy to contract this disease.The disease was extremely ferocious, and it was very painful after the onset. After a few months, the whole body festered and died.Over the years, countless sergeants stationed in the northwest died of this disease, but no effective treatment has been found.

Qi Wenying closed her eyes, and said in extreme pain: "Chu Xi was ill early in the morning, he died in this battle, he must know that his time is numbered, and he doesn't want to live in pain anymore."

When she said this, her face suddenly became very resentful. She clenched her teeth and said bitterly: "It's all because I'm so useless, I can't even protect the closest relatives. When the father wanted to send him to the northwest, I understand I know how bad things are, but I still can't change anything. I hate that I was born with the wrong gender, and in the eyes of others, I am always a useless woman who can only be trampled and humiliated!"

Qi Wenying has always been gentle and calm. When she makes many important decisions, she can remain calm. Qiu Chen rarely sees such strong emotions on the other party's face.

He was silent for a while, raised his hand and patted the other person's back, and said softly: "Who says women are useless. In my heart, you are brave, resolute, decisive, and more calm and decisive than many men in this world. If you It's not that you stabilize the father and the situation in the court, I really don't know what to do. I never dared to think about it before, but," Qiu Chen said here, clutching his sleeves tightly, "it's been a long time Over the past few days, so many things have happened, I should call you elder sister."

After hearing this, Qi Wenying raised her head in surprise.She stared at Qiu Chen blankly, finally suppressed the hatred and hostility in her eyes, and exhaled slowly.After a while, she patted Qiu Chen's shoulder lightly, and said in a low voice: "Thank you, Ziyin. I never thought before that one day, you would become my younger brother. You are very good and very talented." You are smart, it makes sense for the emperor to choose you as his successor."

Seeing the helplessness and unwillingness in Qi Wenying's eyes, Qiuchen subconsciously clenched his fists.

The two were speechless for a moment, and after a while, Qi Wenying raised her head, looked at the bright moon in the sky, and said slowly: "Chu Xi is gone now... If he is alive in the sky, he may be with the Li family at this moment." Let’s ride horses and shoot arrows together with the brothers, let’s talk about everything.”

Qiu Chen was startled when he heard the words: "The Li family?"

Qi Wenying smiled faintly: "That's right, you were not in the palace in those years. The Li family and the Chu family are old friends. The son of Li Hong's family, the general who conquered the West, whoever saw him would say that he is handsome and talented. The few of us grew up together since we were young, and we have a very close friendship. Later, the Li family added a young son. Although I don’t know how old he is, I can still watch him grow up.”

When Qi Wenying said this, a lonely smile flashed across her eyes: "It's a pity... that kid is quite cute. If he is still alive, he will be twenty years old."

When Qiuchen heard this, he felt his heart beating hard. He turned his head, stared into Qi Wenying's eyes and said, "Is the youngest son of the Li family named Li Qing?"
