In the imperial palace, Liao Lord Yelu Longxu leaned on the wolf fur mattress and closed his eyes to rest his mind. He was probably ill. His face was sallow, his eye sockets were sunken, and his jaw was still black and blue.

"Your Majesty, it's time to take medicine." An attendant cautiously persuaded him with a tray. Seeing that Yelu Longxu didn't respond, he whispered again, "Your Majesty..."

Yelu Longxu frowned, opened his eyes slightly, glanced at the big bowl of soup that exuded a bitter smell, and propped himself up helplessly.He was weak and refused to be served by his servants, so he poured half a bowl of soup and medicine with shaking hands, and then drank the rest in one gulp.

"Where's the prince?" Lord Liao waved his hand, refused the candied fruit served by his servants, put on a robe and sat up, "What time is it?" The sky was getting dark, and his sheep-like son had already entered the palace to serve the decoction , but there has been no trace today, which is really a strange thing.

"The crown prince did not enter the palace today." The steward's servant lowered his head and replied, "His Royal Highness Prince Liang and Fourth Highness have come down, and they are still waiting in the side hall..."

"Hmph! What are you doing here, no see!" Yelu Longxu snorted coldly, "Their uncles and nephews have a good relationship." Lord Liao completely forgot that he summoned the two of them.

After hearing this, the attendants didn't dare to say another word, and lowered their heads even lower.His Majesty is getting weaker and weaker, and his temper is getting more and more eccentric—sometimes he doesn't see anyone for several days, and sometimes he invites many clans to watch the actor's performance to relieve his boredom. Your majesty is wise and mighty.Except for the prince who came to pay his respects every day, no one wanted to ask for trouble.Everyone is careful to protect themselves, and these servants are even more worried. You must know that apart from the chief steward who has been with His Majesty since childhood, the servants in the bedroom have changed for the third time.

"Why didn't the prince come to see me?" Yelu Longxu squinted his eyes, his thin lips trembled, "What the hell is he doing?!" With a sound of "Bang Dang——", he swept off the tray on the small table beside the bed On the side, the emaciated Lord Liao stood up unsteadily, "Ask the prince to come and see me! Tell him to come!"

"Your Majesty—" the steward's servant stepped forward to help him, and winked at the disciples quietly. The little servant standing at the door hurriedly turned away, and the others surrounded him to help.

"Your Majesty, please rest first, and this servant will go immediately to ask His Highness the Crown Prince to come and see you." After the attendants cleaned up the floor, the chief servant also helped Yelu Longxu to sit back on the couch.Looking at the master who had become dazed again, he sighed, what a mess this day, when will it be the head...

"His Royal Highness is here—"

Huh... Everyone involuntarily let out a sigh of relief, just in time the rain came.

"I see my father." Yelu Zongzhen knelt on one knee and saluted, and after a while he heard his old father ask him slowly: "What are you doing here?"

"My son is late, please forgive my father." Yelu Zongzhen did not answer, still bowed his head and apologized.

Yelu Longxu tilted his head and looked at him for a while, then suddenly waved his hands and shouted: "Get out of here! Get out!!"

The head servant quickly led everyone out of the dormitory. He glanced at the father and son of the Tian family who were sitting and kneeling, and quickly lowered his head and closed the door.Well, it seems that the wind is blowing...

Yeluzong really knelt on the ground respectfully, without saying a word, a hand covered with brown spots suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

"Bring it..." Yelu Longxu took a long-necked porcelain bottle from his son, pulled out the stopper, sniffed it at the tip of his nose, and said in a deep voice, "The taste is not the same as before."

Yeluzong really raised his head, looked into Liao Lord's cloudy eyes, very calmly: "The genius doctor adjusted some medicinal materials, and he said this is the last bottle." After speaking, he stretched out his hand, took back the porcelain bottle and took a sip.The bitter medicinal juice made him frown. He wiped the corners of his mouth and returned it to his father, "The medicinal materials are rare, so I don't waste any more."

Yelu Longxu stared at him for a long time, drank the medicine juice in the bottle steadily, frowned and asked his son to get up: "This medicine is still so bitter." The chaos in his eyes gradually receded, and the emaciated Liao Lord flashed a wolf again. Generally devouring eyes.

"Bitter medicine?" Yelu Zongzhen chuckled, picked up the thin quilt on the bed and covered it with his father, "Now your poison will be completely cured."

"What's the use of solving it... I won't live long, you know... I didn't expect that I will die in the hands of my own mother in the end..." Yelu Longxu laughed at himself, looked at the sitting The son beside the bed glanced, "You can't wait... Unfortunately, if I die immediately, the queen mother will target you next, so you dare not let me die."

"How do you let my son deal with himself?" Yelu Zongzhen shook his head and sighed, "Father, can't you see what my son is thinking?"

"We Khitans are wolves on the prairie, and the law of the jungle is our survival law. And you... are simply a different kind of wolves, without any blood of our Khitans, but I am so angry that I can only trust you now. Yelu Longxu looked at his son who was not up to date, "If you have half the blood and strategy of the Queen Mother, I can rest assured that I will hand over this royal court to you."

Yeah?Don't you see my weakness and deceit?Yeluzong sneered sincerely, if it was true what his father said, he would be like his uncle King Chu, with a foot of weeds on his grave.

"Forget it, who made you my son?" Yelu Longxu sighed, "As a father, I can only spend a little more time to clear the obstacles for you. Is there any movement from the Queen Mother during this time?" Kill him, the younger brother wants to kill him, and the sons form gangs and stand by.He has fought all his life, but in the end, only the most ineffective prince is helping him, what else can he do?His body, which had been damaged by the torment, couldn't stand the ups and downs. He could only linger on his last breath, and finally took his dear mother and younger brother to the underworld.

"Yes, there are no changes in the Empress Dowager's palace. But..." Yeluzong really thought about it, and then said, "Auntie has set off for the border of the Song Dynasty a few days ago, and there is also General Xiao Yuanliang under the Empress Dowager..."

"Jin Qiong? What is she doing on the border of the Song Dynasty?" Yelu Longxu was still afraid of this younger sister, and then frowned while holding the quilt. Xiao Yuanliang had been ordered to control the Southwest Army for nearly ten years. It can be said that he is very familiar with the formation, and more importantly, he is from the descendant family, and he is the direct descendant of the queen mother. The queen mother sent him to follow the princess to go out this time, and it may not be for the purpose of inspection and supervision.

"Besides Xiao Yuanliang, who else did Qiong'e bring with her?"

"This...I don't know, my aunt left quietly, and even Qidi didn't know who was with her." Yeluzong really lowered his head, "Afterwards General Xiao Yuanliang came to say goodbye to me, and I didn't know that he would also follow my aunt... ..."

"Useless things!" Yelu Longxu was furious when he heard the words, but lowered his voice, "As a prince, you have the name of supervising the country but you can't grasp the movements of the officials. What do I want you, the prince, to do?! What to do?! "He took a piece of things and threw it at his son who was kneeling again.

"Father, forgive me..." Yelu Zongqi lowered her eyes, "With the queen mother here, and my aunt is an elder of the royal family, how can I send someone to watch..." Looking at his father who was gradually losing his clarity, Yeluzong couldn't help but backed away a little .

It's not that Shang's medicine can't restore Yelu Longxu's sanity, but his health is getting worse and worse, and his sanity will further consume his short lifespan.Lord Liao was right, he couldn't die until he was not sure of the situation.Yeluzong really didn't know whether he should thank his uncle who boldly poisoned him, or his grandmother who planned secretly, or... those clever and ruthless brothers.

If it wasn't for them, maybe he really wouldn't have had a chance.

It is not a good thing for him to be a prince for a lifetime, or to be a waste prince.No matter how gentle and amiable he is, he is also the son of the grassland. Maybe he doesn't have the ambition to compete in the world, but it never means that he is willing to sit and wait for death!He also has people he wants to protect, and dreams he wants to fulfill, and he doesn't want to be a victim of the struggle of these people!

He has always understood what it means to hide one's strength and bide one's time, one cannot show one's hole cards casually—even if his good father shows how much he appreciates him.

Yeluzong really had the opportunity to chop the unconscious man with a knife, put him back on the bed and covered him with a quilt.After packing up the porcelain vases he brought, and checking that there was nothing missing, he opened the closed palace door.

"Father has already fallen asleep, you are so good to take care of me." Yelu Zongzhen tidied up his cuffs slowly, and left the emperor's bedroom holding the half of the tiger talisman.

Yelu Zongqi has already followed Princess Qiong'e to the border, and it's time for him to visit his grandmother.
