World of Chessboard

Zhao Qingyan's voice attracted everyone's attention. Zhao Qingyan waved his arms, wanting to touch something. The anxiousness and fear on his face made their hearts ache.

The Qi King grabbed his hand and whispered, "Don't be afraid, this is all fake."

Zhao Qingyan grabbed his hand tightly as his voice rumbled in his throat. Suddenly, he called out in a low voice, "Father?" Her eyelashes trembled as she was drenched by her tears. Her fingertips were also trembling violently.

"Father..." Zhao Qingyan deeply furrowed his brows and muttered in a low voice before he began to groan in pain. He shook off his hands, grabbed his head, and rolled on the ground, "Royal Father! Mother! My head hurts! I'm so scared! Light wind! Light wind! Father! "Mother!" His fingers tugged at his hair, and his voice changed.

He was twisting and turning to ease his pain, but his legs could only move weakly, like two pieces of wood, unconscious.

Seeing this, the Qi Wang felt pain in his heart. He knelt on the bed and hugged his son tightly, "Mo'er, wake up, stop doing this, wake up! royal father is here, wake up! "

Lu Sobbing gritted her teeth and turned her head. The Qi King endured the heartache in his heart as he kept repeating the name, mixed in with Zhao Qing's helpless crying and struggling voice. It was unknown when it would end.

"Prince, you should rest for a while, the young prince, he …" Seeing the Qi King's futile calls, Feng Hong finally could not help but cry out.

"Wait." Lu Sobbing pulled Feng Hong, who was about to step forward, and softly said, "Wait a little longer." She stared fixedly at Zhao Qingyan, who was slowly calming down from her struggle and calling out to her.

"Father..."

The Qi King hurriedly replied, "I'm here, I've always been here. When you open your eyes, you will see me."

"Father... "Wang …" Zhao Qingyan called out with great difficulty. Her fingers moved and curled up slowly. Her closed eyes moved a few times and bit the tip of her tongue. Suddenly, she opened her eyes.

Upon seeing him awaken, Lu Sobbing hurriedly rushed forward. "Yun Mo!"

Zhao Qingyan's eyes were filled with extreme pain. He opened his mouth a few times before forcing out a word, "Medicine."

Lu Sobbing quickly took out the remaining half bowl of medicine and fed it to him along with a few pills. She pressed her palm on his back and gave him some of her Qi.

Zhao Qingyan leaned against him and closed her eyes tiredly, "Let me sleep for a while." He tilted his head and fainted again.

Lu Sobbing stared blankly for half the time it took to brew a cup of tea before she gently put him back on the bed and stood up.

The Qi King looked at the unconscious Zhao Qingyan, who had taken the medicine, and felt relieved. However, he was still worried. "Is he okay?"

Song He said, "According to the previous situation, there shouldn't be any serious problems. However, the young prince had caught a cold this time and was still feeling low temperatures. Perhaps there would still be some changes. "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will keep watch over the young prince. If the situation turns bad, I will immediately inform Your Highness." Your Highness can go back and rest. Leave this place to this humble subject. "

After pondering for a moment, the Qi King nodded in agreement, "Alright, then I'll go back and rest first. When the time comes, you must send someone to inform me." He looked at Marquis Lu, "Where's Marquis Lu?"

Lu Sobbing said, "I will also go back. There isn't much help here, so I will come back tomorrow. "Can I?"

The Qi King nodded, "I will come tomorrow as well. Follow me to the palace, it will save you some time."

Lu Sobbing said, "Then I'll have to thank Your Highness."

The Qi King laughed bitterly, "You've worked so hard to accompany Mo'er, why do you still apologize to me?"

Lu Sobbing shook her head. "It's just what I can do. I didn't manage to help you with anything. How hard is it?" However, if the Duke continues to be worried, Yun Mo will wake up and blame himself again. "

Prince Qi, on the other hand, was warned by him and turned to the two imperial physicians at his side. "Don't tell Mo'er about what happened today."

Feng Hong asked, "But the young prince has already woken up. Can he hide it from us?"

Lu Sobbing laughed, "Maybe he just woke up for a moment and can't remember anything at all?"

The Qi King nodded in agreement, "In short, if he doesn't ask, don't tell him. "Even if he asks, just give it a perfunctory answer."

Without waiting for Feng Hong to speak, Song Xiangran lowered his eyes and said, "Yes, this humble subject understands. Please do not worry, Your Highness."

After taking one last look at his son, who was still sleeping soundly, the Qi King left.

He didn't know how long he would be sick for.

"Who's outside? If there's anything, come in." Zhao Qingyan slowly sat up and raised his voice.

A fifteen to sixteen year old teenager walked in, looking a little timid. "Seventh Uncle, let me see you …"

Zhao Qingyan looked at him in surprise and smiled faintly: "Little Xu, find yourself a place to sit." There's nothing to eat in the house, so I won't be able to entertain you. "

"Ah, no need, no need." Zhao Xu pulled out a chair and sat down, lowering his head and asking nervously, "Is Seventh Uncle still resting? Sorry for disturbing Seventh Uncle. "

Zhao Qingyan placed a few cushions behind her back and said, "No, I'm already awake. Why are you here? "

Zhao Xu hesitated. "At the banquet yesterday, father …"

Zhao Qingyan said, "Ah, yes, I seem to have offended royal brother. I'm sorry, but can you help me convey my apologies to my royal brother? I'm not feeling well, and it will be a few days before I apologize. "

Zhao Xu was startled. "I'm not talking about that."

Zhao Xu pursed his lips. "I have something that I don't know whether or not I should say."

Zhao Qingyan said, "If you want to say something, say it. I'm listening."

Zhao Xu looked seriously into his eyes. "Seventh Uncle, don't you think that father wants to harm you?"

"Harm me?" Zhao Qingyan laughed, "Why do you think that? I was just raving yesterday and I can't believe it. "

Zhao Xu gritted his teeth. "Father said yesterday that Seventh Uncle was wearing clothes, and that Seventh Uncle's words and actions were inappropriate. Those officials who spoke were also on good terms with Father. "There's also the empress. She's clearly insulting Seventh Uncle."

Zhao Qingyan smiled lightly and interrupted him, "Yesterday was indeed my inappropriate behavior. I am used to casually dressing myself. Now, I have not restrained myself from talking about the matters at hand. Don't think too much about my good intentions, brother."

Zhao Xu went silent for a moment. "Seventh Uncle, I'm not a child. I can understand this kind of thing, so you don't have to lie to me. Seventh Uncle did not do anything wrong, so why are you enduring it? "

Zhao Qingyan smiled helplessly and said, "I'm not lying to you. I just don't want you to get mad at royal brother for what happened to me." "Even royal brother couldn't help himself..."

Zhao Xu interrupted, "What is it? He is harming Seventh Uncle! "

"Little Xu, be careful." Zhao Qingyan lightly reprimanded and then softly said, "A man's wealth is his own fault. Even if I was in the wrong, the fault lies with me. There's nothing to be afraid of. Didn't you see it when you were young? My royal brother was very good to me, and he is still as close as a brother to me. The royal family has slaughtered many generations of people. I am getting along well with my royal brother and the rest of them, don't I? And I believe that my royal brother was bewitched by someone, and that he would make a mistake and not harm me. "

Zhao Xu asked, "Seventh Uncle, what's wrong?"

Zhao Qingyan thought about it and said, "You're lacking in manners. There should be some good people who would try to incite you to make use of this opportunity to make a profit. It's a solution to the problem of showing them a play like this. "

Zhao Xu said, "To do such an outrageous thing to Seventh Uncle without prior notice is to harm Seventh Uncle."

Zhao Qingyan looked at him, unconvinced, and said with a smile, "Even if you don't believe in Imperial Brother, you should at least believe in me, right? I won't make things difficult for you and your royal brother. "

"Seventh Uncle, sometimes I especially hate you." Zhao Xu lowered his head and suddenly said.

Zhao Qingyan was stunned and whispered, "I'm sorry."

Zhao Xu said, "You're so smart and so outstanding, why do you always have to be so submissive and obedient? Don't make things difficult for us? If father wants to kill you, are you just going to wait for death? "

Zhao Qingyan remained silent for a while. "I don't understand why Imperial Brother would hate me. I don't think I did anything to make others feel disgusted. Probably, it was because he couldn't relax. It doesn't matter, if it doesn't work out, then I'll just move in with Jiang Wuyan. It's also very suitable for me. Father and the others probably won't object, right? "

Zhao Qingyan looked at him and sighed, "I did not. My illness caused royal uncle and royal father and royal father to worry about me too much, but they never felt disgusted with me, nor did they distance themselves from me because of it. Perhaps because I have experienced too much, I feel that this kinship is exceptionally hard to come by. I will be happy in Bewitching Butterfly Town. I like the ease and comfort of Water Town. If I didn't give in, I wouldn't have gone and begged my royal brother to give way, right? It has nothing to do with grievance or grievance. I just don't want all these years of friendship to break down. This kind of result would only make royal uncle, royal father, Ninth Uncle, Thirteenth Uncle, Second Brother, and Xun Er feel sad, making our family members suffer. While there were still many people who didn't understand, I decided to stay far away from them. Compared to these, what's so important about personal gains and losses? "

Zhao Xu was silent for a moment, then abruptly rose to his feet. "I can't bear to part with Seventh Uncle. I need to go speak to father."

"Sigh!" Little Xu! " Just as Zhao Qingyan was about to speak up to stop her, Zhao Xu had already opened the door.

Zhao Shu stood outside the door, looking at her son silently.

Zhao Xu froze. "Father, father."

Zhao Yu grabbed Zhao Xu's arm to keep him by his side. "That's okay, Brother Mo, you don't have to feel guilty. I just came over to see how Brother Mo is doing. "

Zhao Qingyan said, "Please bear it in mind, Imperial Brother. It's just the same illness as before. It's nothing serious. I'll be able to walk for a few days after resting. Would elder brother like to sit down? There's tea on the table, but I'll need you to pour it yourself. "

Zhao Shu said, "Oh, no. Seeing that Mo Di was already tired, I will not disturb him. Mo Di should rest a bit more. "

Zhao Qingyan smiled and said, "Thank you, brother. I won't be sending you off. Take care."

Zhao Shu nodded and dragged the reluctant Zhao Xu away with large strides.

Zhao Qingyan straightened his body and smiled thoughtfully as he looked at the closed door.
