It was only a few days in bed, but His Majesty's hair had turned gray and his eyes were sunken. At this moment, he tightly grasped Lu Chen's right hand, as if he was about to sit up slightly from the bed. The hope in those eyes turned into a lustre, and it was almost the only bright spot on his face.

Lu Chen looked at him so deeply.

For so many years, he has always looked up to his father.

He allowed himself to be arrogant and arrogant and to do whatever he wanted, even if the people all praised his younger brother, his father and emperor never changed his attitude.

Over the years, many, many people have felt that what is so good about him that his Majesty asked His Majesty the emperor to put such a good diamond away, instead of a rotten stone like him.

But none of them are him, they will never know the secret that he has hidden in his heart for so many years.

"I want to see him!" A gruff voice awakened him from his memory, and Lu Chen stared at his father, the king of the empire, who was exactly like an ordinary helpless old man, his face was empty and helpless. Help, as if only clenching your palms can protect this only possibility.

Lu Chen's eyes suddenly sank like stagnant water, and he looked at him calmly.

The former admiration, suspicion, and look up seem to have all faded away, there is no temperature, and it is icy cold.

If his eyes were seen by anyone outside, he would probably doubt whether the simple-minded Highness that he thought was a figure he imagined out of thin air. How could it be, in a single thought, the whole person seemed to have changed.

"Don't worry, after so many years, I also want to see him well." 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 his palms. The emperor seems to have reacted suddenly, staring at him blankly: "You, you... Know who I... said?"

He just couldn't help it for a while, and the repeated high fever for nearly a week has burned all the calmness in his heart to ashes. No one is more aware than themselves of the possibility of running out of fuel. It was a feeling of watching his body decline step by step, and the feeling of becoming more and more sluggish made him feel that he would not be able to last for long. But what to do? He still has a wish, and he has been waiting for so many years. Now that 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, and smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes. "On my tenth birthday, I knew."

At that time, he was still a kid who jumped up and down. Lu Ming was even younger and was still learning to speak. No one would compare him with his younger brother all day long, and his father had not yet sat on the throne. He was just like him now. The prince has his own mansion.

But my father was never happy to see him, always staying alone in his bedroom, going alone.

Whether it is the mother or the princess, unless he summons them, they are not allowed to appear in his bedroom without authorization.

At the time, I just felt weird.

Until the tenth birthday, everyone celebrated at his birthday banquet. The father, facing the guests, was graceful, but the smile on his face was not obvious. So he sneaked to his father's bedroom, thinking about finding out The secret that my father always stayed in the bedroom and couldn't come out.

What is it that makes the father and emperor so nostalgic for the dormitory, and they have never been allowed to enter and leave at will.

Later, he finally found the thing on the bedside table.

a photo!

Under the dim light, he stared helplessly at the photo, where a woman with silver hair and silver eyes was holding a boy with the same hair color and complexion. describe!

In the photo, the woman is as beautiful as a streamer, her eyes are silver and translucent, like the snow scene in the north, which is captivating. And the boy sitting on her lap, so small and so handsome, was even more eye-catching than his brother Lu Ming, who was praised to the sky.

The photos are obviously often touched, and the corners have been slightly curled, but they have been stuck there, tightly attached to the head of the bed. It seems that there is no distance that can be 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 like Meicheng, who can almost overwhelm the country. What's more, she was the culprit who caused her mother's serious illness and almost suffered from depression! Oh, no, all of my father's women almost went crazy because of this silver-haired and silver-eyed woman!

She didn't live in the harem with her father for a long time, but the people around her seemed to be afraid of her. At that time, my father never came to visit the other women in the backyard, but stayed with the silver-haired woman all day long.

It's just that the time is not particularly long. It's like a storm. It comes and goes in a hurry. Soon, the woman suddenly disappeared!

It's like disappearing without a trace, without a trace ever since.

At that time, the father emperor seemed to be completely insane, his temperament changed greatly, 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 served that woman later all died one by one. The death is so tragic and heart-wrenching.

When he died, no one spoke again.

When he heard the news of his grandfather's death one day and his father suddenly became "Father Emperor", everything seemed to return to the light and shadow before that woman appeared.

Like the dewdrops that appear on the branches in the morning, after the sun rises, they never appear again. Since then, that woman has become missing from the memory of all backyard women.

No one wants to mention it, and no one wants to remember.

In the entire palace, not even the mother knew that the silver-haired woman who appeared mysteriously and disappeared suddenly had a son with her father!

The photos that his father has hidden for so many years are the people he remembers the most in his heart.

Now, the body is not the same as before, seeing the royal infighting in full swing, all the scruples have been let go, right?

For so many years, the father has been thinking about that person, but in the end, he still can't hide it.

For a moment, the emperor did not dare to meet Lu Chen's eyes. There were so many things hidden in it that he couldn't bear it for a while.

But Lu Chen didn't want to stay any longer. He stood up and covered the quilt on the bed with his uninjured right hand: "Don't worry, I have helped you hide this secret for so many years. It's daytime, and there are many people talking. , at ten o'clock tonight, I will definitely do what you want."

The temperature of the air conditioner in the bedroom was a little high, probably because he was afraid that His Majesty the Emperor's body would not be able to stand the slightest cold, but at this moment, the Emperor looked at Lu Chen, turned around, and his left hand was bandaged and fastened to the shoulder strap. The particularly cold gesture made his heart sink slightly.

He wanted to ask, how on earth did he know the existence of the other party. But found that at this moment, there is nothing to care about.

Slightly lowered his eyes, he fell into a coma again. This time, in dizziness, he seemed to return to his youth and saw her, and their son....

However, the tears from the corners of his eyes slid unconsciously. He clearly knew that it was all a dream. Because she was already dead, how could a dead person appear in front of him with such a smile. Just like for so many years, he could only take a good look at her and their son in his dreams...

Homer left the bedroom, summoned his head guard, bowed his head and just said a few words.

He had served 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!

However, he quickly concealed the consternation on his face, lowered his head, walked out quickly, and went to the old mansion where His Majesty the Emperor was when he was still a prince according to Homer's instructions.

It was getting late, but it was empty here. Except for the necessary servants and servants, the whole house seems to be 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 inside, as if he didn't recognize him as the heir apparent.

He subconsciously frowned, but didn't say much, just handed the note in his hand to the other side: "His Royal Highness let me hand it over to your master."

A look of astonishment flashed across his face. After the emperor ascended the throne, the house was completely idle due to its general location. Over the years, only some old servants were left to clean, and they were inconspicuous in the imperial capital. One day, someone will come to the door and say that he will hand over the note to his master.

The guard took the note, but didn't read it. The other party was dressed as a royal bodyguard, which clearly revealed his origin. The guard silently closed the door, turned around, and hurried to the hall of the mansion holding the note...

On this day, Lu Chen sat quietly in his room by himself, without eating anything, he quietly watched the sky, from sunset to darkness, passing by minute by minute, sliding 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 the lights in his room were not turned on, and he was bathed in the moonlight. , The whole body is cold, it is actually panic!

The wound on the left arm was severely infected due to the special lead quality of the armor-piercing projectile. Even with the best wound medicine, the festering of the wound could not be avoided.

Every time changed the dressing, would dye a basin of water red, and just looking at it made heart hurt.

The second princess originally heard that Lu Chen had not been out of the bedroom today, and felt strange, and then heard that she 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 saw the pot of blood on the imperial doctor's hand, and his face turned pale with shock.

He rushed in front of Lu Chen and was about to speak, but saw the other party's expression indifferent.

"What's wrong?" She watched with trepidation as her son draped his coat over his body with his right hand, leaning against the window silently, as if looking at something.

"It's nothing." Lu Chen replied calmly, not wanting his mother to be involved. It's been so many years, why bother her again. At this time, he suddenly envied Leng Yiyao's character very much. Even if the Leng family was so indifferent to her and did those injuries, she could not care, and even turned around and stepped on the group of people directly on the soles of her feet. Everyone in the empire said that women should be submissive and virtuous, but he wished his mother could be more like Leng Yiyao. At the very least, no matter what happened, he wanted to laugh at everything and be calm!

"I heard from the people below that you didn't eat anything at night. How can you do this? Your body is already injured. If you don't eat, how can you cultivate well." The second princess smiled, thinking that it was probably because the royal family was too troublesome recently, son in a bad mood. Fortunately, I sent the things I made with my own hands to him. "This is made by my mother, so try a little bit of it."

Lu Chen stayed at the window, just about to speak, when suddenly, his eyes fell on the long corridor in the distance.

The second princess only felt strange, and subconsciously leaned forward to see what happened. The next moment, she suddenly stiffened and her expression was crazy!

"That hair color!" She suddenly trembled, and the supper she was holding with trembling fingers fell to the ground.

The whole corridor was so quiet that it was eerie, and suddenly a harsh noise echoed.

The man in white fur, like silver and snow, suddenly stomped his feet.

After a long time, he turned his head and looked this way.

At that moment, Lu Chen suddenly clenched the window edge! The second princess only felt that the sky was about to fall!

It turned out to be true! That person's hair, that person's eyes! Can't go wrong! Can't go wrong!

It's that vixen's evil seed!

It was the evil seed of that fox spirit back then!

How could it be, how could there be no guards in the palace for no reason?

people! Are they all dead?

didn't see anyone breaking into the palace!

"Bitch! Bitch! She's pregnant with a child!" The second princess's voice on the verge of collapse became more and more trembling. She seemed to be going crazy. She was about to rush over, but was stopped by Lu Chen behind her.

"Mother!" He lowered his head, his right hand tightly stopped her shoulder!

"It's that person, isn't it! It's the son of that vixen, isn't it!" Why, even after so many years, that bitch 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! "Someone! Catch him! Catch him!" She screamed suddenly, her pupils dilated, and at that moment, her hair fell suddenly, leaving only hideous tears on her face.

However, it was clear that she was screaming so loudly, and there was no sound at all around.

The entire palace seemed to have fallen into a strange silence. No guards, no slaves, no response!

"Devil, devil!" The second princess' expression became more and more frantic, and her voice was sharp, as if she had fallen into many demonic obstacles.

M stood in the corridor, letting the moonlight shine on him.

At that moment, the pure white silver fox fur clothes, against his face that seemed like a god, made people feel unattainable.

Looking at the window, the mother and son were absent-minded.

M smiled lightly, and his eyes were bright and smooth, without hesitation, but when he looked closely, the bottom of his eyes was full of brilliance...

At this moment, Lu Chen watched the other party's mocking smile, only to feel that his whole body was being torn apart frantically.

What is the original Lu Ming, compared to this one, I am afraid that even jealousy can't make waves...

Until now, he finally understood. After so many years, why did Lu Ming struggle to win the favor of his royal father? Pearl and jade first, what else in the world is worth worrying about?

No matter their appearance or temperament, they are too far from this person, like a moat.

In that photo, the handsome and lovely little boy, when he grew up, turned out to be like this...

"Another delusional slut! Why, why are you entangled again! Wasn't he dead back then? Wasn't he dead!" The second princess had completely fallen into her own memories, and said silently in her mouth, like her whole person's sanity It's starting to be unclear.

Lu Chen took a deep breath, his eyes were full of gloom, for a long time, he slowly pressed his mother's head into his shoulder: "Don't look, mother, don't look."

Don't look at those past, those memories.

That woman is already dead, and now, she is just an illegitimate child of her father's heart. She can't see the light, has no identity, no status, and exists like a pitiful worm.

Just like him, he has been honored for so many years in the name of the heir to the throne. In the end, he realized that he was only a chess piece in the palm of his father's hand, and the person in front of him was what his father really wanted. son!
