Chapter 1207
The dark and stuffy bedroom was filled with the dizzying smell of medicine.
Emperor Jingxuan lay weakly on the hospital bed.
Ever since he suffered a stroke, he has been confined in this palace on the pretext of recuperating from illness.
His body could not move, but his mind was awake.
Recently, he has felt more and more that his end is approaching.
Your Majesty.
Eunuch Fu came to the bed and reported in a low voice, "The generalissimo is here."
Emperor Jingxuan opened his mouth and said in a hoarse voice: "You guys, step back."
"yes."
Eunuch Fu retreated with two confidant eunuchs who were serving the soup.
The man in black only brought Qin Canglan to the door, then flew up to the roof and lurked.
Qin Canglan stepped in and saw the haggard Emperor Jingxuan on the hospital bed.
Emperor Jingxuan also saw him.
The veteran general Qin Canglan returned. He was wearing armor and holding a helmet in his arms. Although his hair was gray, his body was strong and his sword was not old.
Emperor Jingxuan sadly realized that he could not compare with an old man in his twilight years.
Your Majesty.
Qin Canglan cupped his fists and gave a faint salute.
Emperor Jingxuan said weakly: "You are finally back."
His speech is extremely slow and his enunciation is not clear, which is a sequelae of a stroke.
I dont have much time left.
Your Majesty summoned the old minister to say goodbye?
Emperor Jingxuan was stunned for a moment, probably because he didn't expect that Qin Canglan didn't even say a compliment.
Similarly, living a hundred years and lasting for eternity is just talk. Has any emperor in the past dynasties been able to die at the end of his life?
I, I have something to tell you.
I am all ears.
Qin Canglan, if the Wei family wants to rebel, will you keep the Xiao family?
Qin Canglan looked at Emperor Jingxuan intently: "The country belongs to the people. What I protect is never the Xiao family or any other family. It is the rivers of the Zhou Dynasty and the thousands of people. In one day, I will devote my whole life to the people." One day, your majesty, please rest assured."
Emperor Jingxuan laughed and cried: "You don't even want to tell a lie."
Qin Canglan did not answer the call.
Emperor Jingxuan said again: "Do you still remember...the marriage contract that the late emperor made for the two families?"
Qin Canglan paused and said, "Remember."
Emperor Jingxuan said: "Well, Qin Canglan will take the order."
-
Wei Ting returned to Beijing together with Qin Canglan, and he was also there when Qin Canglan was intercepted by Emperor Jingxuan's secret guards.
He was waiting for Qin Canglan at the palace gate.
Su Cheng and Su Ergou also rushed over from the Protector's Mansion.
The father and son were squatting beside the carriage and drawing circles.
Su Ergou muttered: "Your Majesty is too ignorant. Which emperor doesn't first let the general who returns from the war go home to meet a child?"
Emperor Jingxuan issued an imperial edict, not only to arrange the marriage between Su Ergou and Princess Jingning, but also to pass the throne to the baby boy born to Princess Jingning.
In order to ensure the smooth accession of the baby boy to the throne, Qin Canglan was named regent in the imperial edict.
After reading it, both those who understood and those who didnt understood were silent.
Wei Ting asked: "Does he know that the Wei family is the descendant of Emperor Wu?"
Qin Canglan said: "I guess he should know."
"Beware of your son, but also the Wei family." Wei Ting dusted off the imperial edict casually, "Emperor Jingxuan wanted to use his grandfather's hand to deal with the Su family and the Wei family."
Princess Hui'an is going to marry Su Xuan, and the Su family will become Xiao Chonghua's supporters.
Whether the Wei family is a descendant of Emperor Wu or not, they have always been a thorn in Emperor Xuan's heart.
Its a shame that he could think of using this method to divide the three families of Qin, Wei and Su.
"The marriage will be consummated within three days." Wei Ting looked away from the imperial edict and smiled jokingly at Su Ergou, "I'm going to be the consort, aren't you happy?"
Su Ergou was so frightened that he hid behind Qin Canglan.
She is still a baby!
Getting married or something like that is too scary!
Grandfather. Wei Ting folded the imperial edict and handed it to Qin Canglan.
Qin Canglan didn't even look at the imperial edict: "Burn it. I didn't enter the palace tonight, and you didn't see the imperial edict."
Wei Ting nodded and turned around.
The father and son had never had such a tacit understanding.
Those who know what they are doing say they are burning wealth and wealth, but those who dont know think what they are burning is a hot potato.
Xiao Qi, go and take care of yourself.
Yes, grandfather. Hey, grandfather, dont you wait for me?
Qin Canglan mounted his tall horse and left without looking back.
Its time to meet your precious granddaughter and great-grandson. Who is waiting for you?
Qin Canglan showed the speed of charging into the battle, and the horse's hooves were stepping on the smoke, and he returned to the Duke Protector's Mansion at lightning speed.
He did the first grade of junior high school, and Wei Ting did the fifteenth grade.
His journey was so dusty that he could no longer look like a person. Wei Ting was stunned and did not remind him.
Before the horse could stop, Qin Canglan couldn't wait to jump off.
Dong dong dong!
He excitedly knocked on the ring on the door.
Crunch
The door slowly opened a small crack.
One, two, or three round little heads poked out from the crack in the door.
The three little ones were stunned and did not recognize who this unshaven old man was.
Who are you disturbing?
Xiaohu asked.
Qin Canglan put his arms around the little guy and picked him up.
Little Tiger was so frightened that he thumped: "What are the human teeth! What are the human teeth!"
The big tiger jumped out: "Let go of my brother!"
Erhu took out the Bagua Mirror and the small charm: "Tian Lingling!"
Wei Xiaobao crawled over and punched the threshold with his little fat fist, saying fiercely: "Wow!"
