Chapter 340: Heart and mind

After only lying in bed for a few days, His Majesty the Emperor's hair has become a lot paler, and his eyes are sunken. At this moment, he firmly grasped Lu Chen's right hand, as if he was about to sit up slightly from the bed. The hope in his eyes turned into luster, almost the only place where light flashed on his face.
Lu Chen looked at him so deeply.
For so many years, he has always looked up at his father.
He indulges himself with arrogance and arrogance, indulging himself in doing whatever he wants, even if the people are praising his brother one by one, his father has never changed his attitude.
Over the past few years, many people have felt that there is something good about him that even asked the emperor to put such a good diamond on him. It was his rotten stone.
But they are not him, they will never know the secret that he has hidden in his heart for so many years.
"I want to see him!" The breathless voice awakened him from his memory. Lu Chen watched his father, the imperial generation king, exactly like an ordinary helpless old man, his face was hollow and empty. Help, it seems that only by holding the palm of your hand can you protect this only possibility.
Lu Chen's eyes suddenly sank like a piece of stagnant water, and he looked at him calmly.
The previous admiration, surprise, and look up all seemed to fade away, without the temperature, it was cold and cold.
If his gaze is seen by anyone outside, I am afraid that he will doubt whether the simple-minded majesty he previously identified is a figure that he has imagined out of thin air. How come, in a single thought, the whole person seems to have changed.
"Don't worry, after so many years, I also want to see him." With a touch of coldness on his lips, he slowly held his father's hand. It's a pity that there is no warmth in the palm of his hand, and the emperor seems to have reacted suddenly, staring at him blankly: "You, you.... Know who I... is talking about?"
He just couldn't help himself for a while, and the repeated high fever for nearly a week had already burned all the calmness in his heart to ashes. No one is more aware of the possibility of running out of oil than oneself. It was a feeling of seeing his body decay step by step, and the premonition of becoming more and more wilting, made him startled that he might not last long. But what to do? He still has a wish. He has waited for so many years. Now, Lu Chen has finally grown up. He thought he was finally hopeful, but it was still too late.
"How could I not know?" Lu Chen lowered his head, put his palms back under the mattress, smiled slightly, but there was no smile in his eyes. "I knew it on my tenth birthday."
At that time, he was still a kid jumping up and down. Lu Ming was younger and still learning words. No one compared him with his younger brother all day. And the father and the emperor had not yet sat on the throne, just like him now. The prince has his own mansion.
But my father was never happy to see him. He always stayed alone in his bedroom and walked alone.
Whether it is the mother or the princess, unless he summons them, they cannot appear in his bedroom without authorization.
At that time, I just felt strange.
Until the day of his tenth birthday, everyone celebrated at his birthday party. The emperor father looked at the guests with grace, but the smile on his face was not obvious. So he sneaked to his father’s bedroom, wanting to find out. The secret that father always stays in the dormitory will not come out.
What was it that made the father so nostalgic for the sleeping hall, and never allowed them to enter and leave at will.
Later, he finally found the thing on the bedside table.
a photo!
Under the drenched light, he watched the photo. On it, a woman with silver hair and silver eyes holding a boy with the same hair color and skin color seemed to smile at the visitor, and the corners of his lips were sweetly conjured, too beautiful. description!
In the photo, the woman was as beautiful as a streamer, and her eyes were silver and white, like a snow scene in the north, breathtaking. And the boy sitting on her lap, so small and handsome, was even more eye-catching than her brother Lu Ming who was praised to the sky.
The photos are obviously often touched by people, and the corners have been slightly curled, but they have been clamped there, tightly attached to the head of the bed. It seems that there is no distance closer than this.
Silver hair and silver eyes...
At that moment, he suddenly remembered that when he was a child, he had actually seen the woman in this photo.
How could it be forgotten.
Even if he is a child, he can never forget a woman who can be as beautiful as that, who can almost be all over the country. What's more, she was the culprit that caused her mother to suffer a serious illness and almost suffered from depression! Oh, no, all the women of my father are almost crazy because of this silver-haired and silver-eyed woman!
She has not lived with her father in the harem for a long time, but the people around seemed to be afraid of her. Everyone took a detour, and the look of the girl in the backyard became more and more haggard. At that time, his father never came to see other women in the backyard, but stayed with the silver-haired woman all day long.
However, the time is not very long, it is like a storm, coming and going in a hurry, and soon, the woman suddenly disappeared!
It was like disappearing for no reason, and disappeared from then on.
At that time, his father seemed to be completely mad, his temperament changed drastically, and he was so tyrannical that he directly slaughtered countless slaves.
It took a long time to calm down.
It's just that the palace people who later served that woman died one by one. The death is so miserable and chilling.
When he died, no one spoke again.
When he heard the news of his grandfather's death one day, when his father suddenly became "father emperor", everything seemed to be back to the light and shadow before the woman appeared.
Just like the dewdrops that appeared on the branches in the morning, they never appeared again after the sun rose. Since then, that woman has become a missing memory in all backyard women.
No one wants to mention it, and no one wants to remember.
In the entire palace, probably even the mother did not know that at the beginning, the silver-haired woman who appeared mysteriously and disappeared suddenly gave birth to a son with her father!
In the photos his father has hidden for so many years, he is the one who remembers most.
Now, the body is no longer the original, seeing the battle in the imperial house in full swing, all the scruples have been let go, right.
For so many years, the father was thinking about that person, but after all, he still couldn't hide.
For a moment, the emperor didn't dare to meet Lu Chen's eyes. There were so many things hidden inside that he couldn't bear it for a while.
Lu Chen didn't want to stay too much. He stood up and covered the bedding on the bed with his uninjured right hand: "Don't worry, I have hidden this secret for you for so many years. It's daytime and there are so many people. , At ten o'clock tonight, I must be as you wish."
The temperature of the air conditioner in the bedroom was a bit high, probably because he was afraid that his Majesty’s body would not be able to withstand the slightest coldness. But at this moment, the emperor looked at Lu Chen and turned around, with a bandage on his left hand and fixed it to the shoulder strap. The particularly cold posture made his heart sink slightly.
He wanted to ask how he knew the other party's existence. But found that at this moment, what else to care about.
Lowering his eyes slightly, he fell into a coma again. This time, in dizziness, he seemed to be back when he was young and saw her and their son...
However, the tears from the corners of his eyes slipped unconsciously. He clearly knew that all of this was a dream. Because she was already dead, how could a dead person appear in front of her with such a smile. Just like all these years, he can only take a good look at her and their son in a dream...
Hemo went out of the bedroom and called in his head guard. He lowered his head and said only a few words.
He had been serving Lu Chen since he was a child, and the head guard could hardly believe that the calm face of the master in front of him was shocking and horrifying!
However, he quickly concealed the astonishment on his face, bowed his head, walked out quickly, and according to Hemo's explanation, went to the old mansion where His Majesty was a prince.
It is getting late, but here is empty. Except for the necessary servants and servants, it seems that the whole house is devoid of any vitality.
He looked down at the note in his hand, took a deep breath, walked to the door step by step, and pressed the doorbell.
"Who?" The guard's voice sounded from the inside, as if he didn't recognize him as the heir's chief guard.
He frowned subconsciously, but didn't say much, just handed the note in his hand to the other person's eyes: "His Royal Highness asked me to pass it to your master."
A flash of astonishment flashed across the opponent's face. After the emperor ascended the throne, the house was completely idle because of its general location. For many years, only some old servants were left to clean, which was unremarkable in the imperial capital. One day, someone will come to the door and say, handing over the note to his master.
The guard received the note, but didn't read it much. The dressing of the other party's royal guard has clearly revealed the origin. The guard closed the door silently, turned around, squeezed the note and quickly ran towards the hall of the house...
On this day, Lu Chen sat quietly in his room, did not eat anything, and watched the sky quietly. From the sunset to the darkness, minute by minute passed, passing by second by second. , No one knows what he is thinking, no one knows what he is looking at...
When the imperial doctor came to change the dressing at nine o'clock, he saw that there was no light in his room and he was bathed in the moonlight. He looked out the window blankly. For a moment, he only felt the cold climb from the bottom of his feet. , I was cold all over, I was panicked!
Because of the special lead of the armor-piercing bullet, the wound on the left arm was very infected. Even with the best wound medicine, the wound could not be prevented from festering.
Every time I changed the dressing, I would dye a basin of water red, and I felt painful just by looking at it.
The second princess originally heard that Lu Chen had not been out of the bedroom today, and felt strange, and heard that he didn't eat anything tonight, so she made some supper by herself and brought it over. As a result, as soon as he entered the door, he turned pale when he saw the pot of blood on the doctor's hand.
When he rushed to Lu Chen, he was about to speak, only to see the other person's expression indifferent.
"What's the matter?" She watched her son draped his coat with her right hand, leaning against the window silently, as if looking at something.
"Nothing." Lu Chen replied calmly, not wanting his mother to be involved. So many years have passed, so why make her hurt any more. At this time, he suddenly admired Leng Yiyao's character exceptionally. Even if the Leng Family was so indifferent to her and made those injuries, she could not care, even turned around and stepped on the group of people directly. Everyone in the empire said that women should be respectful and virtuous, but he couldn't wait for his mother to be more like Leng Yiyao. At least, no matter what happened, he wanted to laugh at everything and be calm and composed!
"I heard from the people below that you didn't eat anything at night. How can this work? The body is already injured. If you don't eat, how can you cultivate well." The second princess smiled, thinking that the recent royal affairs are too troublesome, son In a bad mood. Fortunately, he delivered the things he made by himself. "This was made by my mother, so I can taste it somehow."
Lu Chen stayed at the window, just about to speak, suddenly, his eyes stopped, and he landed on the long corridor.
The second princess only felt strange, she subconsciously leaned closer and looked forward to see what happened. The next moment, she suddenly stiffened and her expression was crazy!
"The color of that hair!" She shuddered all of a sudden, and the night snack she was holding with trembling fingers just fell to the ground.
The entire corridor, which was so quiet as weird, suddenly reverberated with harsh noises.
The person in white fur, like silver and snow, suddenly had a meal.
After a long time, I turned my head and looked over here.
At that moment, Lu Chen squeezed the window edge tightly! The second princess only felt that the sky was falling!
It turned out to be true! That person's hair, that person's eyes! You can't go wrong! You can't go wrong!
It's the evil kind of fox!
It was the evil kind of that fox spirit back then!
How come, how can there be no guards in the palace for no reason?
People! Are they all dead?
I didn't see anyone breaking into the palace!
"Bitch! Bitch! Actually pregnant with a child!" The second princess was on the verge of collapse, and her voice trembled more and more. She seemed to be crazy, she was about to rush towards her, but was stopped by Lu Chen behind her.
"Mother!" He lowered his head, his right hand blocked her shoulder tightly!
"It's that person, right! It's the wicked vixen, isn't it!" Why, obviously it has been so many years, that still refuses to let her go! Isn't she already dead? Why, there is such a person with the same eyes and the same hair as her, appearing here! "Come here! Catch him! Catch him!" She screamed suddenly, her pupils dilated, and her hair fell suddenly, leaving only hideous tears on her face.
However, it was obvious that she called so loudly, there was no sound around her.
The entire palace seemed to have fallen into a weird silence. No guards, no servants, no response!
"Devil, devil!" The second princess's expression became more and more crazy, and her voice was sharp, as if she had fallen into a heavy barrier.
M stood in the corridor, letting the moonlight shine on him.
At that moment, the pure white silver fox fur suit set off his face that looked like a human being, and it made people only feel unattainable.
Looking at the window, the mother and son were in a state of loss.
M smiled indifferently, his eyes were bright and there were no ups and downs, but when he looked closely, his eyes were full of vigor...
At this moment, Lu Chen watched the other party's ridiculous smile, only to feel that his whole body was torn frantically.
What the original Lu Ming is, compared with this one, I am afraid that even jealousy can't make waves...
Only now did he finally understand. After so many years, why did Lu Ming struggle with his thoughts and couldn't win his father's favor. With jewels ahead, what else in the world is worth thinking about?
Regardless of their looks and temperament, they are too far apart from this person, just like a moat.
In that picture, the handsome and cute little boy looks like this when he grows up...
"It's another bewitching slut! Why, why do you want to get entangled again! Wasn't it dead back then? Isn't it dead!" The second princess has completely fallen into her own memory, and she muttered silently, like the whole person All have begun to be unclear.
Lu Chen took a deep breath, his eyes were dull, and for a long time, he slowly pressed his mother's head against his shoulder: "Don't look, mother, don't look."
Don't look at the past, those memories.
That woman is dead, and now she is just an illegitimate child of her father's heart, who is not visible, has no identity, no status, and exists like a poor creature.
Just like him, he has spent so many years in the name of the heir to the throne, and finally realized that he is just a in the palm of his father's hand. The person in front of him is what his father really wants. son!
