After becoming a widow, I raised my traitor brother

Chapter 374 The emperor used Xiao Zi as a sword and deliberately destroyed his bones

"The Second Emperor's body has recovered?!" Zhou Jing was surprised, "Where did you get the news?!"

Murong Jiuli sneered: "You don't care where I got it, but I have never lied to you, right? Zhou Xianyang is going to compete for the position of heir, but Zhou Xianji's health suddenly improves. Now, it's really exciting!"

Wei Zi wanted more than they thought.

After so many years, the imperial doctors in the palace could not cure Zhou Xianji's illness. How could he suddenly get better?

She subconsciously thought of the medicine Hua Yannong gave to Zhou Xianji that day.

Could it be the effect of that bottle of medicine?

However, is there really such a powerful medicine in the world that can make a dying person alive and kicking again?

The former dynasty, Jinluan Hall.

After listening to Hua Yannong's words, Zhou Shuo twisted his Buddhist beads and chuckled sarcastically.

He said slowly: "Hua Aiqing knows that the second child is weak and terminally ill, so I'm afraid it's inappropriate to suggest that he be crown prince."

The courtiers nodded and agreed: "Yes, His Highness has been weak and sick since he was a child. He can't even mount a horse. How can he be the one to inherit the throne? The king of a country not only needs to be both civil and military, benevolent and caring for the people, but also needs a A strong body can spread branches and leaves for the royal family. Only in this way can the country be protected for generations to come!"

Hua Yan laughed twice.

He cupped his hands and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, as far as I know, His Highness is in good health."

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Surprised comments suddenly erupted in the court hall.

Zhou Shuo leaned forward slightly: "Oh?"

As if he thought of something again, he squinted his eyes and stared meaningfully at Hua Yannong's face: "The second brother is in good health. As a king, I don't know yet, but Hua Aiqing's information is quite good."

His voice was like calm water, but the courtiers could smell the undercurrent surging beneath the water.

Everyone knows that today's emperor is suspicious by nature, and he is most afraid of the harem colluding with the previous dynasty to take away his power.

He was suspecting Zhou Xianji of colluding with Hua Yannong.

Hua Yannong smiled slightly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, over the years, Dongchang has gathered scholars from all over the world, and last year finally refined a pill that can extend lifespan. This pill is quite effective on animals, but it has no effect on humans. I know. I searched all over the world and finally thought of asking the Second Highness to test the medicine on my own body. Firstly, His Highness is not going to die soon. If he can be cured after taking the elixir, it will be a great joy; secondly, The Second Highness and Your Majesty are father and son whose blood is thicker than water, so they must be more suitable as people to test the medicine."

His answer was flawless.

Zhou Shuo moved slightly.

Even though he was a king who kept his emotions secret, there was an uncontrollable look of anticipation in his eyes at this moment.

Throughout the ages, many emperors have sought immortality. Suffering from premature aging, he yearned even more for immortality.

If he could live forever, why should he be in a hurry to establish a prince? !

He twisted the beads tightly: "That elixir... really works?"

Hua Yannong said: "Why don't you invite His Majesty, His Highness Xuan Er, to come to the palace and see what's going on?"

Zhou Shuo immediately said: "Xuan!"

Zhou Xianji was well prepared and soon stepped into the Golden Palace wearing court clothes.

Because of his frail health, he has not been here for several years.

He lowered his eyes and paid his respects to Zhou Shuo.

The courtiers looked at him curiously, but they saw that his complexion was no different from that of ordinary people, his back was straight and his figure was tall. He exuded a vigorous vitality and showed no signs of illness.

It really seems to be healed!

Zhou Xianyang clenched his fists tightly, with a look of fear on his face.

His second brother was obviously seriously ill, so why did he become so active again when it came time to compete for the throne?

Could it be that the serious illness he usually suffers from is just an act?

Fortunately, he often claims to be aloof from the world, as noble as the pines and cypresses on the cliffs. Unexpectedly, he also has a heart for power and gain hidden under his skin. He is so hypocritical and dirty, it is really disgusting!

Little Fan was right. These brothers seemed to be in harmony, but in fact they all had ulterior motives and were all eyeing that position!

He was a fool before, but he was honest with them, really thinking that they were brothers! !

He stared at Zhou Xianji's side face, a murderous intent flashing across his eyes. Since Zhou Xianji is unkind and wants to compete with him for the crown prince position without considering his own abilities, don't blame him for being unjust as his younger brother!

On the dragon throne, Zhou Shuo looked at Zhou Xianji's whole body.

After a while, he said: "Second brother, are you really feeling well?"

Zhou Xianji said calmly: "If your father doesn't believe it, you can send someone to give it a try."

Zhou Shuo looked around, pointed at Wei Huanjin, and said, "Ah Jin, come here."

Wei Huanjin walked up to the hall and raised his fist towards Zhou Xianji: "The sword has no eyes, I will discuss the martial arts with His Highness. If there is anything inappropriate later, please stop it in time to avoid hurting yourself." .”

Wei Ling personally taught him Kung Fu, so he is very confident.

Zhou Xianji smiled slightly, lifted up his robe and raised his hand to greet me: "You're welcome, just let your horse come over."

He had been ill for several years.

You can't practice martial arts, you can't ride a horse, you can't even do slightly strenuous movements.

But he longed to live like a normal young man.

He never stopped learning.

When he was lying on the bed, he read sword manuals and studied the art of war. He was familiar with all kinds of martial arts moves. Each move had been rehearsed and simulated countless times in his mind.

Today, facing the temptation of Wei Zhanjin, he was confident.

Wei Huanjin was worried that Zhou Xianji was a sick man, so he only used three points of force in the first move.

Zhou Xianji not only easily defused his attack with four ounces of force, he even turned an entire army against him and knocked him back half a foot with one palm.

He smiled and said: "Prince Wei, I told you, you don't have to be polite."

Wei Huanjin became interested and no longer held back, and decisively started fighting with him normally.

In the main hall, the two of them came and went. The courtiers could only see the afterimages of their fists and feet, but could not see the specific moves of the two at all.

After thirty rounds, Zhou Xianji pinched Wei Huanjin’s neck with both fingers.

He said: "Prince Wei, I accept the concession."

The whole hall was silent, and you could hear a needle drop.

Everyone knows how good Wei Huanjin is.

But the second prince lingered on the sickbed and wasted so many years, and today he was able to easily subdue Crown Prince Wei!

They vaguely remembered that when Zhou Xianji was young, he was also a young man wearing bright clothes and angry horses. He was very good at wielding a silver spear. At the New Year's Eve banquet, one man, one horse and one spear passed through the white marble square, and defeated the emperor's carefully crafted weapons at lightning speed. Five hundred elites were trained.

At this moment, he calmly stopped.

He was born pure and dignified, and his whole body was as alienated and cold as the snow on the mountains.

Everyone couldn't help but secretly wonder, if the second prince had not fallen into the water and been injured, what kind of illustrious situation would he be in now?

I'm afraid there will be another God of War in Great Zhou.

In the silence, Zhou Shuo was the first to cheer: "Okay! This elixir is indeed magical!"

Zhou Xianji looked at him from a distance, with neither sadness nor joy in his eyes.

In the late winter of that year, he jumped into a pool to save Xiao Zi and was completely injured.

His people investigated privately and learned that Xiao Zi's fall into the water was not an accident, but was caused by the emperor's handiwork.

The emperor used Xiao Zi as a sword and deliberately destroyed his bones.
