My God of Wealth is a Short-lived Ghost
Chapter 103 You are a good king, but not a good father
At this time, Zhao Jingyu, in the Seventh Prince's Mansion, walked into the courtyard where the Concubine Chen was, carrying a bowl of medicine. "It's autumn now, why are you wearing so thin?" Zhao Jingyu's hoarse voice was filled with helplessness and fatigue.
I saw Chen Fei sitting on the swing at this time. She was wearing a pink silk dress. She had a baby face and looked like she was twenty-five or twenty-six. She turned around and looked at Zhao Jingyu, and a smile instantly appeared on her face. "You are here." Chen Fei's voice was very different from before. It sounded like the voice of fifteen or sixteen years old. This was because Zhao Jingyu found a pill that could change the voice. Although it could only last for ten years, it was enough for Zhao Jin to let go of his doubts and vigilance.
Zhao Jingyu is now eighteen years old. His face has lost its youthful immaturity and has gradually become more angular. He is seven points similar to Zhao Jinfang when he was young. Therefore, the concubine, who is immersed in memories, regards her son as Zhao Jinfang.
Zhao Jingyu walked forward and placed the medicine bowl on the stone table beside him. He then transformed into a red fox collar cloak and put it on Concubine Chen. After tying the cloak, Zhao Jingyu squatted in front of Concubine Chen and handed the medicine bowl to her, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes. "Do you still remember who I am?"
The concubine took the medicine bowl and nodded, "Remember, you are the Fifth Prince."
Zhao Jingyu sneered when he heard this, but it sounded very weak. He imitated Zhao Jinfang's tone and asked, "Do you remember how long we have been married?"
After hearing this, Concubine Chen said with some fear, "It's been three months. Does Your Highness dislike me?"
Zhao Jingyu shook her head slightly and learned that in the world of Concubine Chen, she was only sixteen years old and had just married her father.
The concubine frowned as she looked at the dark medicine in her hand. "Can I not drink it?"
Zhao Jingyu shook his head slightly and called "mother" in a very gentle tone before persuading her, "Be obedient and drink the medicine. I will take you to fly a kite." After saying that, Zhao Jingyu transformed into a swallow kite and handed it to Concubine Chen.
Chen Fei held the kite in her left hand and nodded obediently, "Okay!" After saying that, Chen Fei drank the medicine in the bowl, and then looked at Zhao Jingyu with a sharp gaze.
Zhao Jingyu chuckled and took the medicine bowl, but when he stood up, his eyes went dark and he fell to the ground. The porcelain bowl fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
The concubine's pupils suddenly shrank, she dropped the kite in her hand and screamed, "Your Highness!"
The court doctor who was waiting outside the courtyard heard the shout and rushed in. He saw Zhao Jingyu had slowly stood up. He held his brow with his left hand and closed his eyes. He was supported by Concubine Chen and sat on the stone chair.
Seeing the anxious look of Concubine Chen, the court doctor sighed and then walked forward to check Zhao Jingyu's pulse. After about a cup of tea, the court doctor's brows were furrowed more and more tightly, and he was always carefully observing Zhao Jingyu.
Seeing this, Concubine Chen hurriedly asked, "How is the Fifth Prince?" Zhao Jingyu heard this and glanced at the palace doctor with cold eyes.
The court doctor was startled by Zhao Jingyu's eyes, then shook his head and said helplessly, "Don't worry, His Highness is just overworked, he will recover after a few months of rest."
After hearing this, Concubine Chen heaved a sigh of relief and raised her hand to rub Zhao Jingyu's forehead. "You don't have to take care of me anymore. I'll take care of you, okay?"
Zhao Jingyu's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying. "Okay"
At this time, the housekeeper of the mansion rushed in and said, "Your Highness, something bad has happened! His Majesty is coming!"
Zhao Jingyu's pupils shrank when he heard this, and he looked at Concubine Chen in panic, but he regained his composure the moment he looked into Concubine Chen's eyes. "From now on, you don't have to call me the Fifth Prince. I don't like this ranking." After saying that, he conjured up a white silk ribbon and handed it to Concubine Chen. "Go ahead and say what I say later."
The concubine's eyes were full of confusion, but she nodded obediently, "Okay," and then tied the silk ribbon in front of her eyes.
Zhao Jingyu slowly stood up, took the hand of Concubine Chen and slowly walked out of the courtyard. He blatantly brought Concubine Chen to the main hall and said, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Father."
There was a piece of silk covering the eyes of the Concubine Chen, so she mistakenly thought that the person in front of her was Zhao Mingsheng. "I am here to see your majesty."
Zhao Jinfang frowned slightly and was about to speak when he saw Zhao Jingyu protecting Concubine Chen behind him. "Father, she tried the medicine on herself to save me and now she is invisible. I know she cannot be my legal wife, but I only ask that you can fulfill my wish and let her stay in the mansion."
Zhao Jinfang sighed heavily after hearing this and said, "Who do you think your father is? Since you two love each other and she saved your life, even if she is your legal wife or father, I will not stop you."
Seeing that Zhao Jinfang didn't see the clues, Zhao Jingyu immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you, father, for your help."
Zhao Jinfang bent down and helped Zhao Jingyu up. "Hurry up, I heard from your fifth brother that you haven't attended the morning court for three days due to illness. Are you feeling better today?"
Zhao Jingyu looked at the Concubine beside him with embarrassment when he heard this, and Zhao Jinfang immediately nodded in understanding.
Zhao Jingyu sighed and said quickly, "Housekeeper, help the second lady down to rest."
Upon hearing this, the concubine immediately bowed and said, "I'm leaving." Then she left through the back door with the help of the housekeeper.
After leaving the main hall, Concubine Chen asked in confusion, "Your Majesty, don't you know that His Highness will take me as a concubine?"
The housekeeper was full of worry at this moment. He thought for a long time before slowly speaking, "His Majesty does not allow His Highness to take a concubine."
The concubine said "oh" and didn't say anything else.
At the same time, Zhao Jingyu in the main hall shook his head slightly and said helplessly, "The palace doctor said it was a heart disease, and said that heart disease needs to be treated with heart medicine. If it lasts for a long time, my life may be in danger. But my son's mother... Alas." It is not difficult to hear what Zhao Jingyu meant when he said this. He was just blaming Zhao Jinfang for killing Zhao Jinghe.
Zhao Jinfang frowned, feeling guilty for a moment. He closed his eyes in pain, tears falling from the corners of his eyes. "I'm sorry, but... Zhao Jinghe must die! Don't hate me."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Jingyu immediately looked up at Zhao Jinfang, his tone full of resentment, "Does my mother deserve to die too? You know very well that my mother loved him the most between Jing He and me! She even mistook me for Jing He before she died! Aren't you pushing my mother into a desperate situation? How can I not hate you?" After saying this, Zhao Jingyu lowered his head and tears dripped onto the ground.
Zhao Jinfang looked at his son with such a sad expression. He shook his head and took a step back, saying sadly, "Father didn't mean it. If I could do it again, I would never kill Jing He."
Zhao Jingyu burst out laughing after hearing this, his tone was full of sarcasm, "You shouldn't say that, you should say that if you could start over, you would find famous doctors all over the world for my eldest brother, so that none of this would happen! Now it seems that you really treated him as a chess piece as my eldest brother said, and you can discard him at will when he is no longer useful. You are a good king, but not a good father."
Zhao Jinfang's pupils suddenly shrank when he heard this, and he reflected on himself. He really didn't think of looking for famous doctors for Zhao Jinghua. Even when he first knew that Zhao Jinghua had tuberculosis, he was thinking about... how to use Zhao Jinghua's ability in the right place within a limited number of years. What Zhao Jingyu said was true, he was indeed not a good father.
