Opening his eyes with difficulty, Emperor Sheng De's originally very poor spirit was relieved by being angry at his own unlucky thing...
Thinking about it this way, this unfortunate thing had some power. After all, other than comforting himself like this, he couldn't find any other reason for the moment.
"Zhaoling, Zhaoming, you two come here..."
"Your Majesty, the princess and the consort are not going to run away. Why don't you take a break first?"
When Zhao Xi saw that Emperor Sheng De was still trying to hold on to discuss matters, a look of anxiety appeared on his face.
Obviously, none of them took Feng Xi's words at heart, including Dr. Zhang and Dr. Zhang who were kneeling aside.
"Why rest? Ahem, cough, cough. Will there be less time to rest after passing away?"
Zhao Xi was speechless, but Feng Xi continued smoothly:
"That is, there is no need to sleep for a long time while alive. After death, you will sleep forever. Father, you are aware, unlike my son, who wishes to go back to sleep now."
Emperor Sheng De: "..."
Zhao Xi: "..."
Raising his hand and pinching the back of the girl's neck, Qi Xiao finally opened his eyes and lied:
"Father, little Phoenix is just lazy. There is absolutely no other meaning behind his words."
After being pinched by Qi Xiao again, Feng Xi, who seemed to realize that her words sounded like a curse, nodded quickly:
"Yes, yes, um..."
Originally, there was another sentence at the end, "Just listen to Qi Xiao's deception." However, Qi Xiao noticed it in advance and raised his hand to cover her mouth.
Well, in order to get off work early, since I am your sister and you still work hard to help me, I won’t be angry with you~
Seeing Feng Xi being restrained by Qi Xiao, Emperor Sheng De couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
There's nothing I can do about it, this thing is so irritating. If she gets angry a few more times, he'll probably pass away...
"Ahem, cough, cough, Zhao Ming, Zhao Ling and Zhao Xi are staying here, everyone else can go down."
"yes……"
Emperor Shengde was seriously ill, and those who could stay in the palace to serve him were his closest confidants. Now that he had sent all these people away, he obviously had something extremely important to say.
"Zhao Xi, go and get that thing."
Zhao Xi sighed, hurriedly took out a carved wooden box from a hidden compartment, and handed the wooden box to Emperor Sheng De.
Feng Xi didn't know what was in the box, and she didn't pay much attention to it, so she was sitting calmly on her knees.
Unlike him, Qi Xiao froze the moment he saw the wooden box.
Because he had seen this wooden box and knew exactly what was in it.
This is the tiger talisman of Hanyuguan, the true commander seal of Hanyuguan, and the overwhelming power that can legitimately command the hundred thousand troops in the pass.
"emperor……"
Qi Xiao hesitated to speak, but Emperor Sheng De smiled, patted the box, and said in an unprecedented gentle tone:
"Two years ago, your father sealed this thing with his own hands and ordered it to be sent to the capital together with his last words. I knew that his time had come, but he was trapped in the palace and could not cross thousands of miles to see him off. This is my The regret in this life is that even if I go to hell, I won’t be able to feel at ease.”
"Father, he won't blame you..."
Qi Xiao's throat was a little dry, so Emperor Sheng De reached out and touched his head:
"Zhao Ling, you don't understand. I consider myself to be cold-hearted and cold-hearted. Because the late emperor was lewd and lustful, and the people of the country were not able to make a living, they avoided their wives and concubines. Also, because Zhao Ling was in ruins and waiting for prosperity, he was busy with state affairs all day long and had no time to take care of his children. If you say There is really one person in this world who treats me differently, and it must be your father Qi Yuanming."
Qi Xiao was speechless.
When he was young, he often heard his father talk about the other party's youth.
At that time, my father was still a noble son of Shengjing. He could also wear bright clothes and angry horses leaning on the leaning bridge, and the whole building was full of red sleeves.
And he and Feng Ming, who was still Prince Rui, who is now Emperor Sheng De, have had an iron-clad relationship since childhood.
"My mother's family is humble and my academic performance is mediocre. Among the more than ten well-educated royal brothers, I only have the word 'moderate'. Once I and my mother-in-law accidentally offended the late queen, and the late queen punished me for seven days of confinement. But no one brought me food. Do you know how old I was at that time? Five years old, only five years old. In the twelfth lunar month of winter, if your father had not accompanied your adoptive father to the palace to meet the saint, and my mother-in-law sent someone to deliberately lead him there, I’m afraid I would have died a long time ago…”
Emperor Sheng De smiled, but his eyes were red.
He said everything in a vague way, obviously not wanting to recall his pain in detail, or perhaps not wanting to go into details.
In this way, Feng Xi and Qi Xiao witnessed the acquaintance between him and Qi Shuai from the words of the wise emperor in the hearts of the people of Jokhang. Qi Shuai became his companion and personal bodyguard, helping him with suggestions and blocking assassinations for him.
"Your father saved me from fire and water again and again. When I was forced to fight for the world with the former prince, first I was poisoned and plotted, and then I was surrounded and killed by the palace gates. It was he who searched for famous doctors in the world, and it was he who led the troops to support in time. ...He is my life-long brother. Without him, I would not be where I am today..."
Emperor Sheng De was sighing with emotion when he heard his unlucky daughter, who was not too worried about eating melons, say:
"Ah, luckily this is a starting point. It would be troublesome if I were in Jinjiang."
Emperor Shengde: "?"
Qi Xiao: "?"
Zhao Xi: "?"
Although they couldn't understand what Feng Xi was talking about, they instinctively felt that this girl definitely didn't mean anything nice.
But before they had time to ask further questions, they heard Feng Xi say:
"Is it because my father-in-law went to Hanyuguan to guard it because you have no generals to use?"
Emperor Sheng De's face turned red, and finally he thought that one of his own people was going to die, so what else could he do with his face?
So he immediately nodded, indicating that Feng Xi was right.
Then he heard Feng Xi say:
"Then your old age is too boring. My father treats you sincerely and gives you everything he can. Maybe your son stabbed someone in the back two years ago. It would be better for you to be a match for your son. You are such a swindle, I will hate you to death if you know it or not. No wonder you say you have no face to go down, I feel guilty for you!"
Emperor Shengde: "?"
No, you damn kid, just scold yourself, why are you scolding your dad too?
"Do you think I don't want to find a husband for Zhao Ling? I only have two daughters, you and Feng Yuan, and with the virtues of the Fang family, I definitely can't choose them."
"So what do you think makes Er Chen better than Lao San? Fortunately, he likes to abuse people? He has no brains? He still likes others? Although Er Chen has become a madman now and is not the idiot he used to be, your vision is too bad!"
Feng Xi argued hard to get justice for her good brother or brother who was down-to-earth and willing to work hard.
It's not the original owner's fault that he's a fool, at least not completely, but this mess is the problem of the person in front of him.
Emperor Sheng De's face turned blue and white after hearing this. He also knew that he was in the wrong, and when he thought that he was going to die, he really had no shame to see his old brother, so he just said:
"What can I do? I haven't been blind for more than a day or two. In the past, Yuan Ming often said that I have a weak brain and a weak mind, so I will definitely be a good emperor who is diligent and loves the people."
Feng Xi: "?"
Qi Xiao: "?"
