Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

Chapter 513 Juvenile Control

The gates of the Daming Palace were wide open, and the emperor's procession marched straight in. The sedan chair went all the way to the entrance of the Sizheng Hall. All the idle people withdrew, and the emperor was carried down by several strong eunuchs.

Emperor Chongzhao followed closely beside him, crying silently, and entered the bedroom at the back.

He waved his hand to order everyone to wait outside. When only his father and son were left in the empty room, Emperor Chongzhao knelt down beside the bed of the emperor, sobbing and begging for forgiveness:

"It's all because of my son's incompetence..."

The Supreme's voice trembled, he sighed deeply from the bottom of his heart, and shook his head: "They have no king or father, what does it have to do with you..."

Emperor Chongzhao lowered his head, and after a while, he cried in shame, "If my son could be as wise and brave as my father, they would not have such beastly thoughts..."

Although this reason was far-fetched, it at least helped to cover up the shame for Tai Shang.

Tai Shang felt more comfortable, and his face became more gentle and kind: "I have fought my way out of the sea of ​​blood and the mountain of knives. They are afraid of me because they have seen me kill people.

"You grew up in a peaceful time, you have a pure heart, and you were taught to be tolerant and kind by the late queen. It is normal that they are not afraid of you. This is not your fault, it is because they are arrogant and rebellious.

"Before, I was wrong. I thought that if I let you ascend the throne earlier and I was there to keep watch from a distance, the situation would be able to transition more smoothly.

"Who would have thought that since we were not together, they would be able to take advantage of us again and again, and even almost succeed..."

After speaking such a long speech, Tai Shang felt a little exhausted and couldn't help but put his hand on his chest, his face showing pain. He stopped and groaned.

Emperor Chongzhao interrupted him immediately, supporting him and saying, "Father's health is the most important thing. I will ask the imperial doctors to come in and treat your injuries first. As for the rest, we have a long time to go. It won't be too late to talk about it later!"

“Twelve…” The Supreme Lord tightly grasped the hand of Emperor Chongzhao, his face showing dejection, and he shook his head slowly, “Fifteen stabbed me…with his own hands…”

As he spoke, his face looked like he was half crying and half laughing, and it looked very miserable.

Emperor Chongzhao was shocked and speechless!

The son stabbed his own father with his own hands, in the chest!

For the emperor who had been proud of his love for his children all his life, this was tantamount to having his pride shattered to pieces in front of him!

This blow was too fatal...

"To save me... Eleven chopped off Fifteen's head with one knife... right in front of me..."

Tai Shang spoke slowly and quietly, his throat gurgling and finally a miserable laugh escaping from it.

"Father and son, brothers, killing each other... It would be better for me to die right now, and not have to suffer day and night..."

Emperor Chongzhao was silent.

At this moment, he really didn't know what to say.

Thinking back to the time when the dozen or so brothers were fighting for the throne, it was the result of the "kind father" in front of him indulging in the raising of poisonous insects.

The death of the late Empress Xiaoren was also due to the cold-heartedness of this good husband.

As for his biological mother who just passed away, it was all planned by this retired emperor!

Whoever created the figurines has no descendants?

He had played with people's hearts for his entire life, and acted until he believed them, but what was the end? Wasn't he still slapped in the face by his own son?

If I hadn't been patient and tolerant, hiding my incompetence for more than ten years, I would probably not have lived to see the end of the chaos of the fight for the throne!

“Alas…” The Supreme One showed his old age, and he choked and sighed tremblingly.

Emperor Chongzhao had nothing to say, so he lowered his head and shed tears, as if he had not heard what was said before, and just advised: "Father, don't think too much, just take good care of yourself now.

"Before, I was in another palace, and everything was inconvenient. Now that I'm back, my son will be by my bedside to show his filial piety. I'm sure you'll get better soon..."

The Supreme smiled bitterly and shook his head. He opened his eyes, letting the tears flow down his cheeks. He whispered, "Why treat it? Just leave it like this..."

After a moment, he cheered himself up again, turned around, solemnly took the hand of Emperor Chongzhao, and said softly and seriously, "I have something to tell my son."

Emperor Chongzhao raised his eyebrows.

In the corner under the bed, Su Yu lay there quietly with her ears erect.

outside room.

The commander of the imperial guards Guo Chongben, the chief of the Dragon Guards Yin Shijie, and the commander of the imperial guards Guo Jian formed a V-shape and stood guard at the inner and outer doors and windows.

King Yong, Dai Quan and King Xiaoyao all sat on their chairs, listening quietly to what was happening inside.

King Yong was fine. He was in his prime, and although he was tired, he drank two pots of water as soon as he entered the door and recovered.

The old internal minister Dai Quan was nearly seventy years old. Not only had he been traveling all the way, but he had also experienced many ups and downs and been frightened along the way. His emotional excitement was no less than that of the emperor.

The moment he calmed down, he immediately felt like he couldn't hold on any longer, his face was covered in cold sweat, and he was about to fall to the ground.

Fortunately, almost the entire Imperial Medical Bureau was called to the Sizheng Hall, ready to see the patient as soon as the Supreme Lord and the Emperor finished talking about important matters.

Huang Shu had sharp eyes, and he knew at a glance that Old Man Dai was in trouble! He rushed over, hugged him, and whispered urgently:

"Dai Gong! Dai Gong, hold on!"

Everyone was shocked and rushed over!

Fortunately, the weather was getting warmer, so Huang Shu laid Dai Quan flat on the ground, knelt beside him, held his wrist and listened to his pulse, sighed softly and whispered:

"Mr. Dai, you are too old to endure this torture! How can the Lord be without you? Even for his sake, you have to take care of yourself!"

A clever young doctor nearby took out a silver needle and pricked the old man's ten fingertips, letting out a few drops of blood from each finger.

After a few more breaths, Dai Quan's complexion recovered a little. He slowly forced out a smile and thanked Huang Shu: "Okay, thank you."

The father and son were still whispering inside, and no one dared to disturb them.

King Yong and King Xiaoyao exchanged glances and made a decision: "First, carry Mr. Dai to the side hall to rest for a while, and Imperial Doctor Huang will help take care of him.

"We'll report this to His Majesty and the Emperor later."

The imperial doctors' hearts moved slightly and they looked at each other subconsciously.

In this case, wouldn't Huang Shu lose the opportunity to see Tai Shang? How could he be happy if such a chance to show off his reputation was suddenly lost because of a moment of kindness?

Unexpectedly, Huang Shu immediately bowed in response and carefully protected Dai Quan to the side hall.

Everyone: ……? !

Chang Ying and Chen Duo, who were guarding the door to the rear hall and had seen the whole incident, had a smile on their lips and a teasing look in their eyes.

What a bunch of idiots!

Even a blind man could see that Tai Shang was seriously injured and suffered an even greater mental blow. In addition, he was old, so the subsequent treatment of his injuries, illness and recuperation would have to be done carefully, slowly and steadily.

If one is not careful and makes a mistake in "treating" the retired emperor, one would have to bear the emperor's wrath, and losing one's head would be the least of the consequences!

At this critical moment, there is a godsend opportunity to hide, is Huang Shu really going to jump into the trap himself? !

The two of them looked slowly at the imperial doctors standing there.

Huh?

Chen Duo suddenly felt something was wrong. He searched the crowd with his eyes, frowned, and leaned over to ask Chang Ying in a low voice:

“It’s alright that Doctor Kong didn’t come to look after Shi Ronghua.

"Why isn't Li Wanan here either?"

Chang Ying's eyes subconsciously glanced at King Yong, his lips moved slightly, and he said, "Mind your own business."
