The Path of the Pharmacist's Favorite Concubine

Chapter 229 Summoned
After Li Chengze checked his daughter's endorsement, he asked the nanny to take the child down to take a bath and rest, and then took a sip of tea and took a break.

"You're tired, drink this."

Huilan gave him a bottle of flower dew, which is the main medicine for refining the soul-nourishing elixir. It has the effect of nourishing and soothing the soul, and drinking it relieves fatigue.

"I'm fine, father's health is not good."

"Well, you are ready, now you can decorate it, especially the East Palace, and there are children."

"I know that the emperor gave me the token and the right to mobilize the imperial guards. I think it will not be easy to move for the time being. Let's see how the emperor handles the second child."

"I reckon it will survive."

Huilan pondered for a while, the second prince only met once at the banquet, he was the son who looked the most like the emperor, while the other sons of Li Chengze's Xiao mother only had a five-point resemblance, and the second child had a seven-point resemblance. Maybe it was because the emperor was a bit partial.

"I see."

Li Chengze had a lot of resentment towards his second child, and he was not satisfied with the result, but he had no choice, even killing him, regardless of his father and his own reputation, he could only suppress it.

By the time of winter, the emperor's situation was not very good. He recruited the eldest son back, made excuses and ordered the second son to be locked up at home and not allowed to go out, and took away all the strength and contacts under his sect.

There are some things that fathers do better than brothers. The royal family relationship is weak but it does not mean that there is no.

The emperor was already sick in bed, and he would meet with some old officials every day, all of whom were the pillars of civil servants and generals.

The boss came back, and after a hasty meeting with the emperor, he went to Xishan Daying to take over the general order, changed the defense of the capital quietly, and surrounded it tightly.

Li Chengze also transferred some guards who had lived in Yunnan for three years to guard the East Palace, fearing that if something bad happened, someone would be able to protect the female relatives.

Huilan is watching the sky in the yard, the Emperor Star is about to fall, the new Emperor Star will replace the old one, and the era of the Da Yong Dynasty will enter a new era.

These few days the emperor has shown signs of coma, even the boss dared not go far away, stayed in the palace, and took turns guarding with several brothers, but Li Chengze was the only one who could stay by the emperor's side, the others could only Kowtow outside the hall.

Yu Heguang came to the East Palace late at night and summoned Huilan.

"The emperor wants to see me?"

Huilan opened her eyes wide in surprise.

"Yes, please go with the miscellaneous family.

"Okay, father-in-law, wait a moment, I'll change my clothes and come right away."

Huilan turned her face and entered the room, with a gloomy face, and secretly told Ding Xiang, "Go and watch the child, don't allow anyone to take Sister Xin away, let Xiao Yuanzi guard her."

Fortunately, she protected Sister Xin in advance, but she didn't know what the emperor wanted to do when she was summoned, whether to kill her or something else.

Huilan followed Yu Heguang all the way to Qianqing Palace, which was the residence of the emperor. After entering the inner hall, she found that Li Chengze was not there, and the emperor was already very weak, with gray and white hair, lying on the dragon bed.

"My daughter-in-law Ding kowtowed to the emperor."

Huilan knelt down and felt heartbroken.

Yu Heguang retreated after bringing her in. There were only the two of them in the room.

"You are here, I want to know who you are before I die? How did you have so many means?"

The emperor beckoned to her to help him up.

Huilan stepped forward to lift him up, put a bright yellow cushion on his back for him to lean on, poured him a glass of water, and dripped a drop of psychic liquid, which could keep him going for a while, and also left some more arrangements for Li Chengze time.

The emperor drank his tea and took a breath, and glanced at her, "You are not a girl from the Ding family. I checked, and the girl from the Ding family does know medicine, but it's not that good. You don't look like a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old."

Huilan pursed her lips and smiled, how could she look like this, her appearance was young, her eyes were not pure anymore, how could she still be a blank slate after going through all kinds of trials and hardships.

"She was killed by Mrs. Li. That girl is innocent and innocent. I am a Taoist cultivator. I fought to the death with others. I don't know how I took her away. When I came, she had her last breath left."

The emperor accepted it very calmly. It is not surprising that people in the Taoist sect have many methods.

"I didn't expect it to be like this, does Chengze know?"

"I know, I can't hide it after a long time."

"I originally wanted to kill you, but Chengze likes you. This child has had no mother since he was a child, and he has lived a miserable life. He always feels guilty, so he wants to make up for one or two. I hope you can be worthy of my trust."

"Cultivators are supervised by the Dao of Heaven, and they will be punished for doing evil things. It is more painful than beheading. Besides, I already have a daughter, so I have to think more about her if I don't do it for myself."

Huilan was not surprised by the emperor's thoughts.

"That's right, even if I want to kill you, I'm afraid I will fail, forget it, leave you to him, you go."

The emperor just explained a few words and let her go. It seemed that he was here to ask, but Huilan knew that the emperor had also gone through inner struggle and hesitation, and finally chose to love his son and left herself, that's all.

On the way back, Huilan looked at the sky and let out a long breath. The overall situation was settled and there was nothing to worry about.

Li Chengze, who had just returned to Qinghui Garden, hurried in wearing a black cloak, saw her running over quickly, and hugged her into his arms.

"Lan'er, I just learned that the emperor summoned you. I went to see the emperor's grandmother. She is not in good health. I'm late. I'm sorry. Fortunately, you are fine."

Huilan froze and patted him on the back, "I'm fine, idiot, he can't kill me, so he chose to leave me to you in the end."

Li Chengze looked at her calm and beautiful face, took a deep breath and nodded, and kissed her on the forehead, "I can't stay for long, you protect sister Xin, I will leave someone to guard the East Palace, and leave the other things to me."

"Okay, you go, I'm fine."

Huilan smiled sweetly at him, her calm and composure gradually restored Li Chengze's composure.

"I am leaving."

Li Chengze still has a lot of things to do, the queen mother is also sick, the queen and concubine are waiting for the sick, and the emperor is only accessible by Yu Heguang, the imperial physician and him, not even the queen.

Li Chengze left in a hurry, Huilan called sister Xin to come over and watch over her, waiting quietly.

A word had been spread early on that the female relatives of the Eastern Palace were not allowed to leave the Eastern Palace, otherwise they would take care of themselves. At this moment, the Eastern Palace was quiet and no one dared to run around.

It was night, and Huilan had to patrol around the East Palace every once in a while to avoid dangers that could not be discovered in time. It was really impossible to send Sister Xin into the space to hide for a while.

Just as she was dozing off, there was the sound of swords colliding, and Huilan sat up.

Sister Xin was about to wake up in a daze. Huilan put on clothes for the child, poured a cup of spiritual tea, put a little medicine powder in it, and fed it to Sister Xin.

"Hey, drink some water and sleep for a while."

"Well, it's noisy."

Sister Xin didn't wake up, she was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes, drank water in a daze, and soon fell into a deep sleep again.

In order not to frighten Sister Xin, Huilan gave her some tranquilizing medicine and slept soundly after drinking it.

Quietly wrap the child in a quilt and cloak, and send him into the small bamboo room in the space. Sister Xin won't wake up until tomorrow morning.
