sick man

Chapter 72 Reality

As soon as Wei Zhan fell ill, Mrs. Wei panicked.But amidst the panic, she still retained a sliver of reason.

Su Hongrui's child has already been sent to the mansion, if he doesn't come up with a countermeasure to erase the child's trace in time, I'm afraid the Wei family will also suffer.She didn't understand why the emperor was so heartless towards Su Hongrui, not only wanted him to die without a burial place, but even the newborn child was not spared.What is even more disturbing is that because of Su Hongrui, it is not just the Su family that has been implicated.All officials who have good relations with the Su family have been suppressed to varying degrees.Su Jian and his son, who used to play an important role in Zhuoyang City, suddenly became a disaster star that everyone shunned.As Su Hongrui's colleague and close friend, before the incident happened, Xue Zhan had already been demoted several times by the emperor, and his military power was also deprived of him. Now he only has a seemingly dignified idle job.

Although the emperor is suspicious, how can he rest assured of Wei Zhan?

What should I do?

In the end how to do?

Xue Zhan was still lying on the bed, and Mrs. Wei was pacing up and down anxiously with her sleeping child in her arms, but there was nothing she could do.And the man who brought the child left in a hurry as soon as he put the child down, Mrs. Wei couldn't even remember his appearance.

"That night, the entire General's Mansion was surprisingly quiet. Just like Zhuoyang City in the middle of the night, every sound could be heard clearly. If it wasn't for that man's arrival, we wouldn't even know that Su Hongrui just quietly... Dead." Mrs. Wei sighed happily and said happily,

"I don't know what method the people in the palace used to hide the child's affairs. Two days later, the guards sent by the emperor came to the mansion for a routine interrogation and then returned to report."

"At that time, Yanqing was sent to an unnamed village in the mountains in the northwest, and the man who sent him made an appointment with me to send Yanqing back when he was six years old."

"In order not to make people suspicious of his life experience, and not to associate with that incident, we made up this story."

Finally revealing the secret that had been buried in her heart for many years, Mrs. Wei let out a long sigh of relief, feeling a lot more relaxed.

"Since he was sent out safely, why take the risk of taking him back?"

Wei Chengfeng felt that this approach was too unreasonable, since Yanqing's status was not allowed in the world, he should escape as far away as possible.

Mrs. Wei said in a daze,

"This is your father's last wish."

"The child is sent away, but who can guarantee that he will be safe? Even if his life is safe, he may not necessarily be safe. So your father begged me before he died, and when this matter fades away, he will definitely pick up the child." Come back and raise him."

That's right, that man begged her. A man who had never shed tears or surrendered in his life actually took her hand and begged her.Even though those eyes were about to lose their spirit, they still refused to close them before she nodded.

She knew that it was not because of the child's poor background, but because it was his child.

Even if Su Hongrui cannot be saved, this person must protect his child.

And how could she have the heart to see him die with regret?

"Cheng Feng, now you know why I am so tolerant to Yan Qing." The old lady closed the memory gate and said with a faint smile.

"mother……"

Wei Chengfeng held Mrs. Wei's hand, and said sincerely,

"Father really owes you a lot."

Mrs. Wei shook her head slightly,

"I take it for myself, no one else."

From beginning to end, that man never lied to her.He gave her all the happiness a woman desires except love.So, she complained, but didn't hate.

"Mom, can I ask you one more thing?"

Wei Chengfeng pondered for a long time, then suddenly raised his head and said.

Mrs. Wei nodded, "Ask."

"Since you have worked so hard to hide this matter for so many years, why are you telling it now? Although Su Hongrui's case has passed, he is Yunze's sinner after all. Once Yan Qing's identity is revealed, the consequences will be disastrous."

The more Wei Chengfeng said, the more uneasy he felt.

Mrs. Wei smiled,

"Cheng Feng, I'm afraid you and I won't be able to call Yan Qing directly by his name anymore."

Wei Chengfeng looked at her puzzled.

Mrs. Wei sighed several times, and said that it was retribution.

"When the emperor ordered Su Hongrui to be executed, many ministers pleaded for mercy. Although Su Hongrui's crime of treason and collaboration with the enemy is unforgivable, he is pregnant with the blood of the emperor after all. How can he be executed together? Many people agreed, and wait After Su Hongrui has finished giving birth, it won't be too late to execute him."

"The emperor didn't agree?"

"No." Mrs. Wei shook her head and said, "He agreed. He agreed to let Su Hongrui give birth to a child."

"But he doesn't want that child. Once the child is born, he will tell the world that it is the evil seed of Su Hongrui and the prince of the enemy country."

"Cheng Feng, do you know what the cruelest thing in the world is?"

Mrs. Wei suddenly turned her head and asked Wei Chengfeng who was obviously shocked.

"Yes……"

"It's killing a child in front of a mother."

When Wei Chengfeng heard these words, his face changed drastically, and his hands clenched into fists.

"Su Hongrui was suffering from all kinds of illnesses, and lived until the time of delivery, just for the child in his womb to have a way out. But what came after him was the poison that killed him and the child... I can understand how sad Su Hongrui must have been at that time despair……"

Mrs. Wei never thought that she would sympathize with Su Hongrui, and even shed tears for him.Maybe it's because of the child. Once a woman becomes a mother, even if it's not her own child, she can't bear to see her suffer.

"I complained to him at that time, why did he want to be so power-hungry about the throne and hurt an innocent child. But your father insisted that he was wronged."

"I didn't believe him, and I didn't want to believe him. I thought he was blinded by emotion. Su Hongrui's correspondence with the prince of the enemy country was searched by the emperor. How could he be wronged?"

Mrs. Wei paused, stroked her chest to calm her excitement, and then continued,

"But now I know, I was the one who was wrong. Yanqing...he should be the emperor's son."

"how come!"

Wei Chengfeng couldn't believe it, let alone understand it.If Yanqing is really the prince, then the emperor's actions are too unbelievable and incomprehensible.

"I've heard in the northwest that the emperor gave back the Su family's mansion and personally went to the Zhenyuan General's Mansion to welcome Su Hongrui's tablet. Do you think that if Su Hongrui really treasoned the country and cooperated with the enemy back then, would the emperor do this? "

"And at the risk of being discussed and suspected by the people, he also wanted to vindicate the Su family. Doesn't that prove that Su Hongrui was wronged?"

"But in the emperor's heart, Su Hongrui and his children are already dead." Wei Chengfeng suddenly felt irritated.Even though he knew it was impossible, he still subconsciously rejected the idea that the emperor might find Fang Yanqing.

"It's true that the emperor doesn't know about Yanqing's existence, but how do you think Yanqing escaped from the impregnable palace?"

"There are always people who can't help but tell the truth."

"Eunuch Yuan Xi, does Your Majesty feel better today?"

In the imperial pharmacy, the imperial physicians who were gathering together to study medicinal materials and discuss prescriptions, when they saw Yuanxi coming in to get the medicine, they all went up to ask the emperor's condition with concern.

Strange to say, the emperor's illness came on suddenly and he was bedridden overnight, but no reason could be found out.The imperial doctors were overwhelmed by this, and they could not prescribe the right medicine if they could not find out the root cause of the disease, so they could only prescribe some conservative prescriptions for health care and recuperation.But the emperor's illness has not improved, and they can't sit still.You know, if something goes wrong with the emperor's dragon body, their heads will also move accordingly.

So when they saw Yuanxi, the imperial doctors eagerly surrounded him.

After Yuan Xi bowed to the imperial doctors, an anxious look appeared on his face.

"I persuaded the emperor to take the medicine on time, but... the emperor still held his heart and screamed for pain. When the pain was severe in the middle of the night, the adults also saw it, and the mattress was soaked with sweat. This... oh..."

Although Yuan Xi didn't say anything, everyone could tell that the emperor's current situation was really not optimistic.

But sighing and sighing can't make a panacea.As soon as Yuan Xi took the medicine and left, the imperial doctors let go of their worries and gathered again to discuss how to cure the emperor's illness.

Yuan Xi turned around the corridor, and could still hear their voices arguing fiercely.

Ah.

He smiled coldly, what about Tianshan snow lotus and thousand-year-old ginseng, as everyone knows, heart disease needs heart medicine.

But the heart medicine, did you find it?

In the dark and damp dungeon, there are only dim candles flickering and flickering.He dismissed the people around him, held the torch alone, and walked towards the deepest corner of the dungeon.

When the flames swept away, one could see the person huddled in the corner.

The majestic Zhenyuan General who used to wear phosphorescent armor and ride green BMWs has now become a traitor that everyone can punish.

As soon as he stood still, the man raised his head, the face covered with dirt under the matted hair, only the bloody wound was conspicuous.

Not only his face, but as he staggered closer, he realized that the prison clothes on his body were also stained with blood from the whipping.Under the loose prison clothes, his abdomen has obviously bulged.

"It's been six months."

He raised his pale face, pinched his fingers intentionally on the wound that hadn't scabbed yet, and listened to the sound of gasping in pain as he wished.

"Cherishment..."

He dared to call himself by his first name as soon as he opened his mouth!

Without even thinking about it, Li Chengyan slapped him with a slap.

Snapped!

Su Hongrui fell heavily to the ground, but his arms were firmly protecting his waist and abdomen.

"emperor……"

His body was full of injuries, his wrists and ankles had been hung by heavy objects, and his movements were very slow.But Su Hongrui still got up very quickly.He knelt on the ground, clutching the cell door with both hands, and changed his words in a humble tone that Li Chengyan had never heard before.

"Your Majesty, my father has already looked for you, right?"

Li Chengyan gave him a disgusted look, took a step back, and said casually,

"How is it?"

"My father... what did he say to you?" Su Hongrui asked anxiously.

"It's nothing."

Lee Seung-yeon said in a relaxed tone,

"It's just exchanging military power for your life."

"You... agreed?"

Su Hongrui looked at him carefully and said.

Lee Seung Yeon smiled,

"The conditions he proposed are indeed very tempting. As if he was afraid that I would not be tempted, he also added a condition."

"What condition?" Su Hongrui's eyes suddenly became vigilant.

"He said, as long as I let you live, you are willing to shed the evil seeds in your stomach." Li Chengyan replied happily.

"Do not……"

Su Hongrui, who was holding on to the prison door, suddenly fell, and his whole body collapsed on the ground because he lost his strength to support him.

"You know it clearly, I don't, I don't... this child is not a villain..."

"So what?"

Li Chengyan interrupted his whisper, narrowed his eyes and said fiercely,

"I said he is, and he must be."
