After being turned into cannon fodder, I relied on involution to survive

The emperor covered his face, but tears still flowed out from between his fingers. "My father made up his mind before and only focused on protecting our father and son. But this time, my father did something that will make us father and son angry." Something more difficult.”

He told the eldest prince what happened in the early court, and finally said with a tearful voice: "It's a pity, Mr. Wei."

Xiao Yuanjin was first shocked and angry, then sad and relieved. He comforted the emperor, "Father, I have done nothing wrong. You have not chilled Mr. Wei's heart."

The emperor was dejected and said, "It would be great if I could save his old man's life. I am incompetent. Not only can I not save such a loyal and good minister, but I will also make you, the innocent one, suffer and suffer along with me."

Xiao Yuanjin shook his head, "It doesn't matter to me."

His father is the emperor after all, but the guards outside Lu Tong and Jinluan Palace are not even willing to show respect. And Mr. Wei was forced to commit suicide just to protect his father. His father How could the emperor continue to act stupid and dumbfounded despite his conscience?

Xiao Yuanjin understood and cared about his emperor father very well. He poured the emperor a cup of tea, "You did the right thing, I am proud of you."

When the emperor heard this, the tears that he had finally stopped could not help but fall again.

Yu Zizhen, who was catching up on his sleep in the next room, was awakened by the emperor's voice and listened in a daze for a while. When she heard the emperor say that Mr. Wei was so angry that he hit a pillar and died, she sat up with a sigh and woke up completely.

She sighed, and while digesting the news, she sat on the edge of the bed and continued to listen to the father and son talking.

It wasn't until they fell silent that Yu Zizhen walked out of the inner room. "His Majesty."

The emperor was startled by her sudden appearance. He did not expect that there was an "outsider" hiding in the eldest prince's palace.

However, his good eldest son obviously did not regard Yu Zizhen as an outsider. Not only did he allow Yu Zizhen to be the one with ears in the wall, but he also asked others invisibly if there was any way he could help the Wei family.

With his trust in Yu Zizhen, the emperor felt that he was almost catching up with his old father, who depended on him for life.

The emperor felt sour, but Yu Zizhen didn't notice it at all. She saluted the emperor and comforted the emperor with a few words without showing any signs of indifference. Then she said to Xiao Yuanjin: "I will help the Wei family within my ability."

Wei Shilang had already begged for his body and was preparing to resign and return home. If it hadn't happened today, the Wei family would have packed their bags and returned to their hometown soon. But now they have become a thorn in the side of the Lu family. Why go back to their hometown? Don't think about it, otherwise you will easily be sent back to your real "home".

In view of this, Yu Zizhen had already thought about sending the Wei family to a place where the Lu family could not reach before he came out to meet the emperor.

She told the emperor her thoughts. Although the emperor doubted what she could do as a half-year-old child, under the current circumstances, he didn't know who else to entrust her to except Yu Zizhen.

Yang Zhengde, a civil servant, had a hard time protecting his own family. The emperor knew that he would not be able to spare the manpower to escort the Wei family out of Beijing.

Thinking of Yu Zizhen's identity, the emperor couldn't help but secretly pray that she could really help the Wei family.

Yu Zizhen didn't know that she had been underestimated. She asked the emperor, "Based on how angry old man Lu Tong is this time, Your Majesty thinks that besides letting people neglect you in terms of food and drink like before, will he do anything more to you?" What other actions can you take to express your dissatisfaction?"

The emperor smiled bitterly and said, "The Queen Mother should send someone to reprimand me." Yu Zizhen said that verbal attacks are nothing at all, "Then just go in with one ear and out the other, don't take it to your heart. What else?"

The emperor spread his hands and said, "It's all trivial matters, and it will be over with patience. After all, they won't kill me or Jin'er because of it, so Zizhen doesn't have to worry too much."

What the emperor didn't say was that his and the eldest prince's lives had been artificially bound together by him.

After the eldest prince was poisoned, he guarded the eldest prince without eating or drinking. He also swore that if the eldest prince died, he would die with him. The Queen Mother even came to scold him personally and had him dragged away. , and he had no intention of giving in or compromising.

He resisted fiercely like a madman, insisting on staying by the eldest prince's side even if he harmed himself. The Queen Mother had some scruples, and finally had no further plans to take Xiao Yuanjin's life.

At that time, he had just ascended the throne, and he had not yet had time to show whether he was wise or foolish. The Queen Mother could not change Daqi to another emperor just because he loved his children, especially when the only bargaining chip in her hand was one who was still very young at the time. Xiao Shaoke.

Officials from the aristocratic family and the Qingliu family would not agree to replace an adult emperor with a little kid without a decent reason.

The emperor showed his bottom line in this way. After so many years, although he and Xiao Yuanjin had not lived a comfortable life, they all survived.

Others might find his overestimating weak resistance very funny, but Yu Zizhen admired His Majesty the Emperor for being able to protect Xiao Yuanjin in that situation.

She glanced at the eldest prince, and then silently took out two small wax pills that were very familiar to the emperor and Xiao Yuanjin, "Your Majesty, keep these detoxification pills for emergencies."

The universal detoxification pill produced by the system can detoxify most of the poisons in the world. It can also help delay some of the poisons that cannot be detoxified. Living in a deep palace, it is difficult for her to be the first to respond to emergencies. Rushing to their side was a kind of protection for the father and son.

The emperor couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the wax pill, "You actually carry such a magical medicine with you so casually?"

Yu Zizhen had given him a pill before, and he had always treasured it and kept it in his bedroom.

Yu Zizhen shrugged, "If I don't carry it with me, if I get poisoned, I'm afraid I'll die from the poison before I can take the medicine."

Then why does she prepare antidote pills? Do you spend a lot of money (points) to prepare inheritances so that others can get something for nothing and enjoy it?

Emperor: That makes sense.

The emperor wanted it, but he couldn't give it because the medicine was too precious. He was struggling when he heard Yu Zizhen say again: "Your Majesty, take it. I still have a few pills in the house."

The emperor took one look at his son's legs and finally decided to shamelessly accept the precious antidote pills from Yu Zizhen, a half-grown child.

His son was bad at work because he was poisoned before, and it was thanks to Yu Zizhen that he got better later.

What if someone poisons their father and son again in the future, and the poison is not this kind of chronic poison, but the kind of potent poison that will take effect very quickly?

Yu Zizhen may not be able to arrive in time when they are poisoned, but they can learn from Yu Zizhen's pills and carry them with them all the time.
