Vantage 28 years.

When the hour of Hai was approaching the hour of Zi, two figures in black cloaks hurriedly avoided the guards of the Forbidden Palace who were patrolling the night and came to the secret entrance of the Fukang Palace, the emperor's residence.

The tall black shadow who was leading the way knocked a few signs at the entrance, and soon the wall at the entrance, which seemed to be a stone wall, cracked. The tall black shadow pushed hard, leading behind him The slightly short and thin person entered the dark room and walked through a short path. They came to another door, and the tall black figure knocked another signal before pushing the door open.

This time the visitor was summoned secretly, in order to make sure that he had already gone to bed, there must be no fire in the hall, and in the palace where he could barely see his fingers, Song Huaxi sat upright on the dragon couch, wearing only plain white wiping clothes. Outer shirt.

When someone came, he turned on the mechanism, heard a faint signal, and the seemingly innocuous painting was opened. In the dark night, two dark shadows came to his dragon couch and knelt down. At this time, Song Huaxi Lift the quilt, and take out a luminous pearl from the hidden compartment in the couch.

A small luminous pearl is only enough to illuminate a faint light, but it is exactly what Song Huaxi wants, he only needs a ray of light.

"You don't need to be too polite, you have to act quickly." He lowered his voice, keeping his voice as low as possible.

"Yes, Caomin is starting to take the emperor's pulse." The black shadow brought by Song Huaxi Ouchi's dark guard carefully bent up and approached the dragon couch, and gently held the emperor's wrist under the weak light of the luminous pearl. Two fingers are ready to touch the pulse carefully and listen carefully.

After probing for a while, his expression gradually became dignified, and after a while, he let go of the emperor's hand, and naturally stepped back and knelt down again.

"Is there not much time left for me?" In the cool night in the deep palace, Song Huaxi tightened his coat on his shoulders. If it wasn't for the cover of the night, the black figure kneeling beside him would have seen his pale face at this moment. .

The kneeling black shadow trembled all over, hesitated for a moment, and told the truth after taking the pulse, "The emperor's pulse is deep and stringy, and according to what Mr. Wei told the grass people about the emperor's recent illness, it is indeed intestinal as the imperial doctor said." There are... malignant sores, and from the pulse, it can be seen that the condition is quite serious." (Note: In ancient times, some doctors called modern cancers malignant sores, which were difficult to treat or even incurable in ancient times disease.)

Song Huaxi sat on the couch and slowly closed his eyes in thought. He was not panicked by the news, he was even extremely calm, thinking about what else he could do.

After the morning court this morning, he moved to the study room at the back of Fukang Palace to review the memorial. Before lunch, he suddenly had a dull pain in his abdominal cavity. Naturally, he ordered the chief eunuch to pass to the official room, but the process of leaving the ceremony was very painful. There's blood, and that's a big deal.

(Note: The official room probably refers to the place where the toilet is governed. The toilets of the royal family members in the palace are really called portable toilets. Pfft! You can see that it is the process of going to the toilet, and Tan refers to the toilet of the emperor~ According to my research According to the data, it is called sandalwood because it is made of sandalwood.)

After the emperor came out, there was blood. As the emperor's close chief eunuch, he personally disposed of the dirty things in Tanli, and secretly summoned his confidant imperial doctor to take the emperor's pulse according to the emperor's will. Tell the truth about the diagnosis on the ground.

It is a disease of malignant sores, and the condition is serious.

Song Huaxi looked as serious and calm as at this time. He was silent for a moment and warned the imperial doctor to remember to keep today's affairs secret and not to keep any records. After leaving the people beside him, he knocked a secret signal on the table Soon Xiao Qi, the head of the Ouchi Dark Guard who only obeyed his orders, appeared like a shadow in the back study and knelt in front of the dragon case.

"Go and ask the folk Huasheng doctor to come tonight at midnight."

After Xiao Qi received the decree, he disappeared like the wind, which led to Huaxia's secret visit to the palace for medical consultation late at night.

"Your Majesty, the illness needs to be severe, and the current abilities of the Caomin are limited. If the Emperor cooperates with the diagnosis and treatment, the Caomin is confident that the disease can be postponed." Seeing that the Emperor had no intention, Huaxia told him what to do now in a soft voice.

People have always been afraid of death, let alone the emperor of a country, any emperor hopes to live a long life, and no one wants to leave in a good year.

"How long can it be extended?" Song Huaxi closed his eyes all the time. He was not afraid, but because of the current situation in the royal family, he needed time to prepare, especially his daughter Song Ruolan who was worried.

Huaxia arched his waist again and said: "As long as the emperor keeps a happy mood, cooperate with acupuncture and medicine, and don't work too hard, it is possible for one to two years, or even three years."

three years?Song Huaxi didn't dare to ask extravagantly, but if it could be delayed for one to two years, time would be enough.

He nodded, and said in a tired voice: "After that, there will be the holy doctor Hua Hua, I am tired, Xiao Qi will send the holy doctor Hua out of the palace."

After the two left through the secret passage, Song Huaxi put away the Ye Mingzhu, and the palace returned to darkness.

After the morning court the next day, Song Huaxi returned to the back study of the Fukang Palace, stepped down from the chief eunuch who was close to him, and waited outside the gate of the palace. Before the gate of the palace was closed, a man in all black soft armor appeared like a ghost in front of the dragon case. He knelt on one knee and told Hua Sheng to go back safely.

"Xiao Qi, there is still one thing I want you to do yourself."

"I ask the emperor to issue an order."

Song Huaxi activated the mechanism on the dragon case, and with a click, he got up and walked to a bookshelf, opened one of them, there was a hidden compartment inside, and took out a brocade box from the hidden compartment, which contained a piece of white jade pendant, and the jade pendant There is a word "Ji" engraved on it.

He once owned two jade pendants engraved with characters, namely "Leng" and "Ji". Many years ago, he used the engraved "Leng" because of the need of the current situation. Using it, he originally wanted to pass on the jade pendant to the prince.

"Take my snowy egret out of the palace secretly, and tie the jade pendant to it, and it will naturally know who to bring it to. If it brings someone with the jade pendant to you, it will also secretly bring this person in before midnight. See you in the palace."

"Decree from the last general." Xiao Qi got up but didn't dare to straighten his waist, half bent over to approach Song Huaxi and took the jade pendant from the brocade box he held up.

Without touching anyone, it disappeared into the back study like the wind. Xiao Qi didn't stop, and went directly to take the snow egret out of the palace through the secret passage in the palace, and rode a horse to the forest where he was one day away from the palace. A secret mountain, there is a cave here, which is his temporary residence outside the palace.

He vigilantly sensed whether there were any other auras around, and made sure that no one was nearby. He opened the grass and vines outside the cave and went in to light a torch. The task was urgent, so he immediately took out the jade pendant from the hidden pocket of his clothes, and saw the engraved words "Ji "While writing the words, Xiao Qi was as indifferent on the surface as usual, but actually he was a little shocked in his heart.

The Gold Worship Villa has been withdrawn from the world for many years, and people in the world still respect it, especially when it comes to the owner of the Gold Worship Villa, the so-called Leng Ji's murder methods, every time he mentions it, it makes people shudder.And many years ago, he heard from Qian Weichang that the current emperor has a lot of contacts with Jinbai Mountain Villa, and it is rumored that the emperor has a token in his hand that can manipulate Baijin Mountain Villa...

It seems that this is the jade pendant.

He didn't dare to think too much, and he didn't have to guess what the emperor wanted to do. As the emperor's secret guard, he only needed to do things for the emperor.Xiao Qi untied the cloth bag at his feet, the snow heron inside flew out in protest, and pecked at his head with its sharp beak, he grabbed it with one hand, and tied the small brocade bag containing the jade pendant on the its legs.

After making sure that the brocade bag was fastened tightly, he gently stroked the snow egret's body to comfort it. The snow egret didn't try to teach him when it was comfortable, and obediently grabbed it on Xiao Qi's shoulder and let the humans take it out. outside the cave.

Xiao Qi climbed up to the mountain peak swiftly, held the snow egret with both hands and released it into the sky, the snow egret spread its wings and flew into the air, circled a few times above his head, squeaked a few times before heading east.

After the jade pendant was taken out, Song Huaxi went to the morning court regularly as usual, and after the morning court, he returned to the back study and began to review the memorial. Before lunch, the chief eunuch stepped forward to remind Song Huaxi that Song Huaxi hadn't spoken yet, and focused on putting the memorial in his hand. After reading and approving the memorial, he raised his deep eyes and looked at the chief eunuch who lowered his head.

"I suddenly remembered why I haven't seen Jin An coming to say hello recently?"

"Back to the emperor, I heard that since the last time she played against the emperor and lost to the emperor again, Princess Jin'an has retreated to study chess skills. She also asked people to find a lot of books about strange games on the chessboard from outside the palace, and she hasn't set foot for half a month. I'm out of the palace." Li Hai, the chief eunuch, had a kind face, with an aunt's smile on his lips, and he remembered Princess Jin'an when he was a child.

After hearing the reason in detail, the rigorous daily facial features softened a bit. Like Li Hai, Song Huaxi put a smile on his lips. He thought for a moment, then got up from the dragon case and said: "Then... I will be with Jin An today. After lunch, I would like to see her research results."

Li Hai's smile widened even more. He understood what the emperor meant, so he bent his waist and retreated to the gate of the palace, "This servant is now instructing the servants to go to the Jinxi Palace to prepare."

With Li Hai taking care of the meals, Song Huaxi took a break for a cup of tea and came to the Jinxi Hall in a dragon carriage. Outside the hall was the elegant figure of someone he cared about, and he was in a happy mood with a faint smile on his face Walk towards Jin An.

"Jin An sees Father." Song Ruolan lowered her head slightly, with a slight smile on her face, and squatted down gracefully.

"Pingshen" Song Huaxi led the front into the hall, while Jin An and the other eunuchs and maids naturally followed behind him. , the ending of the words was a little bit teasing.

Jin An Qingling glanced at her father quietly with her charming eyes again, and she was not annoyed when her father teased her in public, her face still had an elegant demeanor, and she replied with a slight smile: "Wait for the afternoon!" After the meal, if Father has free time, he will know after playing a game with Jin An."

Her words hit Song Huaxi's heart, and she laughed happily a few times. Long Yan said with a smile: "Well, it's rare that Jin'an has such confidence, so my father will play a game with Jin'an after dinner, but if father If the emperor can still win a little this time, then Jin An will have to accept the matter of the father."

The sudden "gambling game" aroused Jin An's curiosity, she frowned slightly and asked: "Father, please give Jin An an order if there is anything, why..."

Before she finished speaking, they had arrived at the dining place in the back garden. Song Huaxi sat down with her and interrupted Song Ruolan's question: "Don't worry about this, let's eat first." He looked at Jin thoughtfully With a glance at An, Jin An seemed to understand something, and nodded in response.

The two of them enjoyed their lunch under the service of the eunuch's maidservant, and after the maidservant packed away the tableware, they followed the order and moved the chessboard stored in the Jinhua Palace. The body of the plate is made of rare black dazzling stone, which brings a refreshing breath no matter in spring, summer, autumn or winter.

Before starting the game, Song Huaxi asked people to leave a pot of tea and then retreated all the servants and eunuchs. As for the close guards, they also ordered them to retreat to a distance where they could not hear the conversation between him and Jin An.

The chess game started, and the father and daughter responded calmly. Halfway through the move, the young Jin An couldn't resist the doubts in his heart. After making a move, he lowered his voice and asked, "Father, what can I do to Jin An?" Song Ruolanhua After thinking about it for lunch, he guessed that the father's coming to have lunch with her this time and setting up a bet for no reason did not come suddenly.

Perhaps Father Huang had already thought about this trip.

"I was quite trustworthy just now, why does Jin'an now think that this round will be lost to the father." Two slender fingers clamped a piece, and without hesitation, after dropping a piece, Song Huaxi picked up the teacup and sipped After taking a sip, he looked at the overall situation on the chessboard from the corner of his eye.

The young man couldn't stand the provocation, so Jin An became more courageous and glared at his father, snorted softly, with a little more force, and in Song Xihua's eyes, it was the unique act of a daughter acting like a baby to her father.

His heart moved slightly, and he sighed that Jin'an was becoming more and more like her mother.

The chess pieces played against each other for half an hour, and after Song Huaxi dropped a piece, Jin An looked at the situation where there was no way out, and slowly put the piece he was holding on his fingertips back into the chess box, sincerely The royal father bent over, "Jin An lost, I don't know what the royal father wants Jin An to agree to?"

Staring at Jin An's more delicate and beautiful face, he originally wanted to keep Jin An by his side for a few more years, but when the situation no longer allowed, as a father, how could he be willing to marry her far away.

"Does Jin An trust the emperor?" He looked at Jin An's eyes that looked like her mother's and asked.

"I believe." Jin An nodded without any doubt.

"Father will arrange a marriage for you at the right time."

The decree was something Jin An never thought about. At the ceremony where she joined Ji at the beginning of the year, after the ceremony, the courtiers, other concubines, and even the queen asked her father to marry her immediately, and the courtiers who wooed each other even recommended Duan The second son of the prince, under the voices of the crowd, the father spoke angrily to keep them quiet, and said that Princess Jin'an's marriage will not be planned until the princess is more mature. daughter married off.

The ceremony has not passed for a year, father...

Jin'an thought that there was something else going on in this matter, and walls have ears, so she didn't ask any further questions, since she lost the chess game, she was also a person who kept her word.

She got up from the round marble chair to meet Song Huaxi, bowed her head slightly to salute him, and fulfilled her promise indifferently.

"Jin An would like to follow Father's arrangement."
