The Bai family stayed in Haizhou for half a month and happily welcomed the first birthday of the two little ones.
The two children could already call "Mom" when they were eight months old, and the second word they learned to say was "Sister", which made Bai Chou and Bai Changshan bitter for a long time.
By one year old, the two little dolls can already say two or three words at a time, and the words are clearer than other children. I don't know if it is because of eating the snow spirit pill.
Bai Fuling remembered that in her previous life she had heard people say that teaching the dolls to talk would make the dolls smarter, so she told stories to the two dolls to make them talk when they had nothing to do.
Bai Chou followed suit, and when he had free time, he hugged his two sons and taught them to call them daddy. The entire Bai family could often see him as a big man holding a fat baby in one hand and talking to himself.
However, not all fathers and sons in the world are as harmonious as they are. For example, the third father and son with the highest status in the world is far away in the imperial palace in the capital.
February was coming to an end, and it should have been a beautiful spring, but instead it was raining continuously, and the huge imperial city fell into a haze even more because of the aggravation of the emperor's condition.
The emperor lay alone in the dragon's bed, only to feel the damp and cold feeling coming over him. With his swollen body and deformed face, the emperor at this moment was like a dying monster, without the slightest majesty of the world's supreme.
With the recurrence of his illness, his temper became worse day by day. He doubted everyone around him, thinking that they were all spies sent by his sons, wishing him to die early so as to usurp his throne.
Pain and doubts tormented him constantly, so he could only turn his attention to other places, such as how to control the power of his sons so that they were evenly matched, he had to listen to his father honestly, and most importantly, how to Forcing Yang Heng and Gan Sui, the two rebellious sons, to hand over the antidote to solve his ailments.
As long as they are willing to cooperate, he is willing to make Yang Heng the crown prince. Anyway, as long as he is still the emperor for a day, it is just a matter of abolishing the crown prince... These two rebellious sons are too powerful to keep either of them.
"Come on!" the emperor gasped and hissed with difficulty.
Eunuch Lei, who was waiting on the sidelines, hurried forward to obey.
"Go, go Xuan Yangheng... come to see me! Take that person with you." Now speaking has become a difficult thing for the emperor.
No one else knew who "that person" referred to, but Eunuch Lei knew it well, he responded in a low voice, turned around and told his trusted eunuchs to leave the palace to summon His Highness the Sixth Highness and the "famous doctor" he invited to see him.
Soon Yang Heng and Gan Sui arrived, standing in front of the bed and bowing to the emperor, Yang Heng looked respectful, but Gan Sui didn't even bother to pretend, and showed indifference and did not salute.
Those who can serve in the emperor's bedroom are all very winking, so no one stepped forward to pretend to be a tiger and shouted nonsense like "Bold madman, why don't you behave politely when you see the emperor".
Eunuch Lei stepped forward to help the emperor sit up. The emperor looked at the tall and handsome son in front of him, and was in a daze for a moment. Thirty years ago, he looked like Yang Heng. At that time, he was also one of the depressed princes in the capital. I have to admit that among so many sons, Yang Heng is the one who resembles him the most!
But soon, when his eyes shifted to Kansui, his nostalgia was replaced by resentment and anger. It was these two rebellious sons who joined forces to make him look like a ghost!
The emperor waved his hand with a sullen face. Except for Eunuch Lei and the other two trusted eunuchs, everyone around him retreated silently.
"Xiao Mi, you are finally willing to come to see me." The emperor thought that his life was still in the hands of the other party, and tried his best to put on a fatherly face, but unfortunately the swollen and deformed face did not cooperate. Twisted and funny.
Gan Sui sneered and said, "It's a good thing he's not dead, so naturally he wants to see his father for the last time."
No matter how deep the emperor's palace was, he couldn't bear such a stimulus, and immediately became furious, pointing at Gan Sui and saying, "You, you... Nizi!"
Unmoved, Gan Sui smiled and said, "Since Father doesn't want to see me, then I'll go." After speaking, he made a gesture to leave.
"You still know me, I am your father..." the emperor was anxious, he was really afraid that Kansui would just leave like this.
Kansui shook his head, "It's just that you don't know that I'm your son."
Yang Heng didn't want to waste time on such meaningless disputes, and said, "I don't know why the emperor summoned us here?"
The emperor took a deep breath, and made up his mind: "Detoxify me, the crown prince is yours."
Yang Heng asked with a look of surprise: "Isn't the father sick? When did you get poisoned again?"
The emperor wanted to sneer, but it was too difficult for him to make such a difficult expression now, so he had to give up.
"Whether it's detoxification or healing, as long as you can restore my health, I will make you the crown prince! Isn't that what you want?"
"Father misunderstood, what my son wants is not the crown prince." Yang Heng smiled gently and elegantly: "My father wants to see Kansui, and my son has already invited him here. As for the matter of curing diseases and detoxification, my son There's really nothing you can do."
The emperor had long been tortured by the illness and lost his patience. Hearing the words, his expression became even more distorted, and he said: "What do you really want?! Gan Sui, the Ming people don't speak dark words. As long as you detoxify me, I will no longer interfere with the martial arts alliance and the alliance." As for the affairs of the Demon Cult, if you want to dominate the Jianghu, you can do whatever you want."
Kansui looked him up and down from head to toe with cold eyes, and said, "I didn't poison you, you just meddle in the affairs of Shenjiao and Wulin League, how much trouble do you think those idiots can turn upside down?" Lang? It's you, father, it's time to prepare for the funeral, and it's less than two months away."
"It's not you, who else could it be?!" The emperor's voice was hoarse and ugly, he was really scared, and what Gan Sui meant was clearly that he could only live for less than two months.
Eunuch Lei also turned pale in shock, he knelt down in front of Yang Heng with a plop, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness Sixth, please save the emperor, this old servant kowtows to you!"
The confidant of Emperor Lei Gonggong, no matter what he thinks in his heart, has always taken good care of Yang Heng, and Yang Heng still has a bit of respect for him. He stepped forward to help Eunuch Lei, turned his head and said, "Father, you haven't seen Concubine Mother for nearly a year, right?"
The emperor was stunned for a moment, not understanding why he suddenly brought up this matter. Concubine Yue was murdered and left a portrait for the emperor as a souvenir, asking the emperor to "see" her at least every month, and tell her about her son Yang Heng thing.
Concubine Yue was indeed the emperor's favorite woman, so she naturally agreed, and even promised to make Yang Heng the crown prince in the future.
The emperor felt ashamed of Concubine Yue's death, so he hung the portraits of Concubine Yue and Gan Qinglan, Gan Sui's mother, together in a small building behind the bedroom. A confidant speaks to vent.
Yang Heng knew this habit. Before the emperor decided to deal with Mao and Xia's family, he took him to the small building and told the past, implying that Yang Heng—your old man I killed the powerful officials, and the crown prince is yours, so you must do your best to cooperate.
Later, he was in power, and he had the intention of dealing with Yang Heng and Gan Sui, so he subconsciously stopped entering that small building. Yang Heng's guess was right, he had indeed not seen these two sisters for nearly a year.
Gan Sui found a chair to sit down on his own, and said with a smile, "It's a pity that Auntie knows that you deliberately let the queen attack her, but she still wants to give you a chance, to detoxify you and prolong your life."
The emperor suddenly changed color, hissed: "What did you say?"
Gan Sui's smile didn't change: "Don't you want to know who put the poison on your body? I'll tell you right now, since my aunt decided to abolish her martial arts and enter the palace, my mother planted the 'Lian Li branch' on you." ', this kind of poison is refined and improved from a kind of Gu poison. It is said that the original effect is that women are afraid that their husbands will change their minds. When they are newly married, they will lay Gu on their husbands. Once you die, the Gu poison will break out, and your husband will also die together. Even Li Zhi, the effect is generally the same."
The emperor thought of Gan Qinglan's expression of resentment and grief on her face when she heard that her younger sister would rather abandon her martial arts and go out of school to marry into the prince's mansion as a side concubine, and she was horrified.
Gan Sui learned poison skills from his mother, and he has seen Gan Qinglan's skills with his own eyes. It is indeed poison on him, and he was poisoned decades ago! Just kept ignorant.
"Mother has seen clearly what you are, but it's a pity that Auntie is obsessed with it. You must not know that Auntie's poison technique is more powerful than Mother's. She is invulnerable to all poisons. How could the Queen succeed in poisoning her? ? It was all because she secretly used her own blood to refine medicine in order to detoxify you, resulting in weakness, so the queen took advantage of it. She put herself in danger for you, how did you repay her?" Gan Sui said The face continued with disdain.
Yang Heng knew these things a long time ago, but now hearing what Gan Sui said, he still couldn't help being angry and sad, and looked at the emperor with very cold eyes.
The emperor's expression froze. If he insisted on saving Concubine Yue under the circumstances at that time, the Xia family would turn to support his third brother, and the Mao family was also jealous of Concubine Yue's mother and child. In order to appease the two parties, he chose to give up Yue. concubine.
But no matter when, the most important thing to the emperor is his own life, he thought about what Kansui said carefully, and asked: "Concubine Yue has passed away for ten years, why..."
Yang Heng looked at him and said, "Because my concubine finally refined the antidote before she died."
The emperor was overjoyed and asked quickly, "Where is it?"
Yang Heng didn't speak, just looked at him and sneered.
The emperor suddenly came to his senses: "That portrait!"
No wonder Concubine Yue asked him to visit her at least every month before she died... His strange illness started after he stopped entering the small building.
Concubine Yue knew that he would die, but she still couldn't bear to have him buried with her after her death, so although she didn't let him take the antidote directly, she left a portrait of the antidote, as long as the emperor "" See" her once, and smell the scent left on the portrait, then you can live a healthy life forever.
