The Road to Fame as an Imperial Physician

When Xie Lingbai and Wen Changheng arrived at Chenxi Hall, they found that many people were already kneeling outside the hall. Xie Lingbai felt a thump in his heart, and suddenly became frightened. Could it be that the emperor has...

Wen Changheng held his hand and gave him a comforting look. The two of them walked into Chenxi Hall step by step, and only let go after entering the inner hall.

"Your Majesty, the Fourth Highness has come down."

Eunuch Lin said softly beside the emperor, the emperor said something, but because the voice was too soft, they couldn't hear it clearly.

"Fourth Highness, the emperor invites you to come here."

Xie Lingbai hurriedly walked towards the dragon couch, knelt by the bed and held the emperor's hand.

"In my whole life, I have always thought that I was very successful, but I only found out not long ago that I have let my own son live outside for so many years. My son, my father is sorry for you."

"Father..."

If the "Father Emperor" when the crown prince was pushed down before was to express the sincerity of taking a step back, then this voice now comes from the heart.

"Fortunately...fortunately came back..."

The emperor turned his head and glanced at Wen Changheng with some difficulty, his eyes hesitated, but in the end he didn't say anything, and his eyes turned to Concubine Luo.

"Where's Xi'er?"

"Your Majesty, Xi'er...he will be here soon."

Concubine Luo was also anxious, she wiped her tears and said, she sent someone to look for it just now, but why hasn't it come for so long!

The emperor nodded, and said to Zhao Lingrui who was beside Concubine Luo: "Ruier..."

"My son is..."

"Xi'er has a child's heart, as an elder brother, in the future... mention him more."

"Father, don't worry."

"Aifei..."

The emperor's favorite is Concubine Liu Gui, which is a fact known to everyone, so everyone knows who this "love concubine" refers to.

Concubine Liu Gui hurriedly squeezed Concubine Luo away and moved forward, crying, "Your Majesty, my concubine is here."

The emperor smiled, and held Xie Lingbai's hand and Concubine Liu Gui's hand together, as if he wanted to order something, but he opened his mouth, but did not say a single word.

Xie Lingbai felt that something was wrong, and quickly shouted: "Father, what do you want to say?"

The emperor seemed to be trying hard, but in the end it was still unsuccessful. He slowly closed his eyes and his hands slipped down.

"Father..."

"emperor……"

There was a burst of crying in the inner hall, and the kneeling people outside the hall heard it and knew that the emperor must have passed away. All of this was reasonable, but unexpected.

too suddenly……

Xie Lingbai stood by the side blankly looking at the people coming in and out, unable to tell what it was like, he just realized that the person in front of him was his father, but in the blink of an eye, he was gone again.

"Your Majesty, the crown prince is not in the East Palace."

A little maid walked up to Concubine Luo and said in a low voice, Concubine Luo was going crazy, but at such a critical moment, no one could be found, what a deal.

"Send more people to look for it, how do you do it!"

"Yes……"

The little maid hurriedly ran out again, and the person they were looking for was still outside the palace, because the emperor's death had not been posted on the imperial list yet, so the imperial city was still very peaceful.

Zhao Lingxi didn't sleep all night last night, thinking about today's escape plan, just now she couldn't hold on after walking around for a while, and now she's already sleeping on Wei Ze's back in a dim light .

Wei Ze reluctantly walked towards the palace with his back on his back. Just as he reached the gate of the palace and was thinking about how to get in later, he saw a few young eunuchs running towards him.

"Hey, my little ancestor is back!"

Wei Ze knew that these people were usually by Zhao Lingxi's side, and they also knew about Zhao Lingxi's escape this time.

"What's wrong, Your Highness?"

"Fell asleep."

"Where is the time to sleep now, hurry up and wake up His Highness."

"What happened?"

"The emperor, he..."

The little eunuch hesitated to speak, but Wei Ze read the meaning from their expressions, quickly shrugged his shoulders, and shouted: "Zhao...cough, prince? Prince, wake up!"

"It's so noisy!" Zhao Lingxi was sleeping soundly, and she must be a little unhappy to be woken up suddenly, and she didn't even bother to open her eyes.

"arrive……"

Zhao Lingxi opened his eyes and looked, isn't this the entrance of Cai Palace!

"It's not there yet, keep going."

"Your Highness, something serious happened in the palace."

"Hey, Xiao Tanzi, why are you here?"

"The emperor has passed away."

Xiao Tanzi said in a low voice, Zhao Lingxi was stunned, as if he didn't react for a moment, Wei Ze carried him on his back and continued walking in, with several young eunuchs following him.

"Wei Ze, did you hear what Xiao Tanzi said just now?"

Zhao Lingxi asked stupidly, his tone sounded a little disturbed, Wei Ze replied: "The emperor has passed away."

"The emperor has passed away..." Zhao Lingxi repeated, tears fell before the emotions, and Wei Ze could feel his shoulders getting wet.

If it was normal, he would definitely say something about Zhao Lingxi, but considering the current situation, he just quickened his pace and went to Chenxi Hall.

"Liar, Father was fine yesterday, how could it be..."

Zhao Lingxi struggled to get off Wei Ze's back, and ran forward in a hurry as soon as he landed. Wei Ze followed him, and several young eunuchs had already been thrown some distance away.

When he ran to the entrance of the Chenxi Hall and saw the kneeling crowd, his footsteps gradually slowed down. Looking at the entrance of the hall, he dared not go in.

"Where did you go!"

Concubine Luo, who was watching at the gate of the hall, saw Zhao Lingxi, and hurried out to pull him in, but Wei Ze didn't follow, and he was not suitable to go in such a scene.

Although I heard from the master that the emperor is seriously ill.But unexpectedly, it went so suddenly, the emperor passed away, and Zhao Lingxi, who had just been established as the crown prince, would inherit the throne and become the new emperor.

That kid, can you do it?

The people in the imperial city only found out about the death of the emperor in the evening. As for other towns, it would take some time. The farther the distance, the later they would know.

But because this is an urgent document, it is faster than normal information delivery.

When night fell, Xie Lingbai returned to Zehua Hall, while Wen Changheng left the palace.

"Your Highness, the Empress is here."

Xie Lingbai turned around and saw Concubine Liu Gui came in with a few maids, who were still holding something in their hands.

"Xiaobai, you haven't eaten today, you must be hungry. Concubine Mother asked Xiliu Palace to prepare some vegetarian food in the small kitchen."

"I have no appetite."

"You have to eat something even if you don't have an appetite. Concubine Mother knows that your father is gone. You must be sad, but there is nothing you can do. We will face more difficulties in the future. Wait until Zhao Ling After Xi succeeds to the throne, the Luo family will definitely..."

"I'm really not in the mood to listen to this now, and besides, I don't think Zhao Lingxi is what you think."

"Have you seen him?"

"Ah."

"Stupid child, you know people, face but not heart. You've only met him a few times, so how do you know if his innocence and kindness are just pretending? Here is..."

"This is the palace, so you must be vigilant everywhere, right?"

"Okay, okay, Concubine Mu knows that you don't like to hear these things, so just don't say anything."

Xie Lingbai was a little upset, but seeing Concubine Liu Gui like this, he realized that his attitude just now seemed to be too bad, so he hesitated and said: "I know you are doing it for my own good, but I have no interest in the throne, besides, father The emperor has already decreed that the eighth younger brother will be the crown prince, so let's just expose this matter like this?"

"Oh, good, in fact, as long as the Luo family doesn't make things difficult for us, it doesn't matter. If you can stay with Concubine Mother, Concubine Mother is already very happy, and don't force anything else."

"What if I don't want to live in the palace?"

Concubine Liu Gui was stunned and said: "You shouldn't live in the palace. When the new emperor takes the throne, you will be the prince, and you will definitely be given a fief and a mansion."

"What if I want to be with Wen Xu?"

"You can do whatever you want, but this is the only thing that Concubine Mu can't promise you!"

"Why?"

"You have to think about your identity. You are a prince, and you will be a prince in the future. How can you be with a man? If this gets out, how will people in the world think of you?!"

"Why should my own life be influenced by the opinions of the world?"

"Xiaobai, concubine mother really doesn't want to quarrel with you, but this matter is not as simple as you think. Concubine mother is only your son. If you like men, what should you do..."

"I like men, and I am still your son. This will not change. I will still be filial to you in the future."

"Then you promise me to stay in the imperial city."

"I'll be back often..."

"Xiaobai, concubine mother, I beg you, don't be too far away from concubine mother, concubine mother has been away from you for too long, we just met each other, even if you are going to Xixia city, you should live in the imperial city for a while first .”

Xie Lingbai was silent, Liu Guifei's words were reasonable, and he seemed to have no reason to refuse.

"How about this, you stay with the concubine mother in the imperial city for three years, after that if you still like Wen Xun and Wen Xun still likes you, the concubine mother will not hinder you, how about it?"

Xie Lingbai's eyes flashed for a moment, three years is too long... It's not that three years with Concubine Liu Gui is too long, but three years away from Wen Changheng is too long.

"This means that I will be separated from him for three years?"

"My concubine thinks that your feelings for him are just a kind of gratitude. You insist that it is love, and you say that you only love him in this life. Since you only love him in this life, waiting for three years is not a good idea." What's the problem?"

Concubine Liu Gui stared at Xie Lingbai after she finished speaking. In fact, she didn't care about the years, the three years were just casually said, what she needed was for Xie Lingbai and Wen Changheng to separate.

After a long time, the relationship between the two will naturally fade, and then Xie Lingbai will know that this is not love at all.

"Xiaobai, is it okay? You have been separated from your concubine mother for 20 years, and staying with her concubine for three years is not an excessive request, is it?"

"I……"

Xie Lingbai hesitated a little. Although he really wanted to be filial, why did he have to force him to separate from Wen Changheng?Could it be considered unfilial to be with Wen Changheng?
