The hurried footsteps outside brought bumps. The empty sedan was filled with annoyance and uneasiness.
Yan Qianqian's heart felt like a small snake was tightly coiled, and it seemed that she might be bitten unexpectedly at any time... She was a little scared.
Her pretty little face was full of worry, her brows were lightly furrowed, her lips were pursed slightly, and her eyes were shining slightly. He sat upright in the swaying sedan chair, his hands unknowingly clenched the corners of his clothes and refused to let go.
be terribly upset. His mind stopped working and he began to think wildly... Although the second brother didn't explain clearly what happened, he could still guess something from his expression.
That's definitely not a good sign! But what bad thing happened? ... After much thought, it was difficult to come up with any clues, which only made the nervous feeling in my heart even more intense.
This kind of unknown foreboding is really the most uncomfortable. Slowly, the tension, worry and uneasiness turned into irritability.
Sitting in the sedan chair, Yan Qianqian felt a little stuffy and her chest was tight. So I simply lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and looked around anxiously, wanting to see where I was going... Suddenly I felt that the road leading to my father's palace was a bit far and took a long time.
I wanted to urge. But he found that the bearers and servants were already working very hard on their way, and there was a convoy of brothers walking in front of them. No matter how fast they were, they couldn't get any closer... So he took the urging words he wanted to say into his mouth. .
Be patient, be patient...it's useless to be anxious! This motorcade of princes and princesses drove majestically down the long street paved with blue bricks, rushing towards the palace of King Yan.
After the scene of a stick of incense. Before King Yan's palace. The eight princes and Yan Qianqian stepped out of carriages and sedan chairs under the jade steps.
All of them had serious expressions on their faces. At this time, Yan Qianqian glanced at the second brother with a solemn face, pursed her lips, and hesitated slightly.
Then she opened her mouth and wanted to speak. In fact, I couldn't help it anymore and wanted to ask what happened... After all, I had arrived at my father's palace and had left the noisy banquet. Only their brother and sister were left here. There should be no more verbal scruples.
I had been on tenterhooks all the way... Now I arrived at my father's palace, but my anxious heart became even more nervous.
I was so nervous that my palms were sweating and my whole body was shaking. Therefore, it is more urgent to know something in advance.
Even if she could get a word or two of comfort from her brothers, it would be good to be mentally prepared... However, when she just wanted to open her mouth to speak, the second brother did not give her this chance.
At this time, the second prince Yan Shixi had already taken the lead on the jade steps and walked up quickly. Several other princes followed suit with great enthusiasm.
This made Yan Qianqian fall behind immediately. She immediately felt like a little white rabbit that had lost care and protection, helpless in the wind.
In this way, the words that I wanted to ask could only be swallowed quietly. Looking at the backs of her brothers walking away silently, Yan Qianqian calmed down her uneasy mood and let out a breath.
Then he lifted up his skirt, followed the steps of his brothers, climbed the stone steps, and headed towards his father's palace.
Not long after, she reached the top of the stone steps. At this moment, lying in front of you like a ferocious beast is the palace of King Yan.
The door to the bedroom is open. There were many palace maids rushing in and out, coming and going. They looked very panicked and busy... This is very common!
Seeing that scene, Yan Qianqian began to feel nervous again. Nervous to the point of shortness of breath. Something bad did happen...
"Is the father's body feeling ill?..." He was thinking wildly in his mind, and his legs and feet kept walking numbly towards the door of the palace.
At this moment, the palace is also full of palace maids who look panicked and are in a hurry. They were holding cups and basins, making soup and mixing medicine... walking back and forth.
Seeing this situation, Yan Qianqian's little face turned pale.
"Sure enough, there is something wrong with my father's health!..." There is a very strong smell of soup in the air!
The smell made Yan Qianqian panic and worried. She quickly rushed into the inner room. But as soon as he took a step forward, he was blocked by several figures.
After taking a closer look, it turned out that several princes were standing outside, just blocking the door of the inner room.
They stood there silently, their faces extremely ugly. When Yan Qianqian saw this, her heart was pounding.
He quickly looked inside again. Then he saw the queen and concubines standing not far from King Yan's bed, looking in the direction of the bed with similar expressions of fear.
Beside the bed, there were five or six imperial doctors who were diagnosing and treating him with solemn expressions. The atmosphere is solemn and weird!
Yan Qianqian doesn't understand why there is such an atmosphere? ...She actually saw something called "..." on the faces of everyone in this house.
"Incredible" look. It was like seeing a ghost... However, it seemed that it was because of the respected status of this ghost... So despite being afraid and feeling incredible, they still forced themselves and tried hard to suppress themselves and not show their fear.
Yan Qianqian was extremely confused. She couldn't figure out why her brothers and mother had such expressions as if they had seen a ghost when they looked at her father's bed.
Yan Qianqian, who was confused about the situation, suddenly pushed away the backs of her brothers and quickly squeezed in. She wanted to see what happened to her father.
The fifth prince Yan Zeen and the sixth prince Yan Jindao realized that their sister had broken in and quickly tried to stop her.
But Yan Qianqian is very agile. Before they could stop her, the little girl had already knocked away everyone's backs and got close to King Yan's bed.
Then, Yan Qianqian saw that terrifying scene! Her father... Yan Huanren. At this time, he was lying upright on the bed like a mummy.
Like a corpse that has been dead for several months... except that the skin has not festered, but all the flesh and blood has been lost. From that haggard face, it was difficult to see even a trace of his father's shadow... The kind-hearted father had disappeared without a trace.
Yan Qianqian was frightened. Her eyes were filled with shock for a moment. His throat immediately trembled uncontrollably.
I originally wanted to shout out. I wanted to call the scary figure on the bed my father. However, Yan Qianqian suddenly found that she was timid and her throat kept shaking, making it impossible for her to use any strength.
In the end, she could only stare at the skeletal human body in horror, and murmured two words in a tearful voice:
"Father?..."
