Chapter 185 Youth
Yan Donghuang was deep in thought. The matter about Yuan Ziying was similar to what Yaoguang said, and it was almost the same as she guessed.
Ziying's appearance was a bit strange, but there was no hostility or calculation in her eyes.
Perhaps she herself didn't know that she was used as a pawn.
"Your Majesty just said that Dongbai was weak. Ziying is not only good at using poison, but also good at medicine. When she comes back in the future, she may be able to cure the eldest prince's illness."
Her Majesty shook her head slowly: "I don't hope much."
After a pause, "Even if he can be cured, Dongbai has never practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he can't be in power."
The previous emperor of Northern Qi established the country by force, and there were many military generals in the court. The king of a country needs to cultivate both civil and military skills since childhood.
Dongbai's weak body delayed his martial arts lessons. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is powerless.
Even if the disease is cured, what can it do?
Besides, the current situation in Qi is not as simple as Dongbai's succession to the throne after curing the disease.
As they were talking, a man walked out of the warm room next door.
Slender and lean figure, gentle and elegant face, with a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth: "Your Majesty, you have a guest?"
Yan Donghuang looked at him, his eyebrows moved slightly.
"I am Yuan Xiumo." The man was dressed in a purple robe and bowed slightly to Yan Donghuang, "Meet His Majesty, the Emperor of Yong Dynasty."
Yan Donghuang stood up to return the greeting, but his expression was a little subtle, as if he didn't know how to address the man in front of him.
"I just returned to the palace yesterday." Yuan Xiumo walked to the table, first picked up the pot and added tea to the teacup in front of Yan Donghuang, and then turned around and sat down beside the empress, "General Feng is a man of integrity, people admire him."
Yan Donghuang pondered for a moment: "What did you talk about with Feng Yaoguang?"
"General Feng told me something first." Yuan Xiumo said calmly, "The second prince of Southern Qi asked him to cooperate, and wanted to use the love between children to trick you to the border, and use special means to make you devoted to General Feng. Does your majesty know about this?"
There were two majesties present at this time.
Yan Donghuang sat back in the chair and hummed, "Yaoguang will not be fooled by such a clumsy scam."
"I heard some of what the two majesties talked about in the warm room." Yuan Xiumo turned his head to look at the empress, with a bit of heartache in his eyes, "Bai'er was born weak. Even if the imperial physician carefully nursed her, she could not prove that she was weaker than ordinary people. Your majesty and I have known each other for more than ten years and know each other very well, so I support any decision of your majesty."
Yan Donghuang lowered her eyes and drank tea, and suddenly felt that the atmosphere at this time was not suitable for her.
She looked at the two people in front of her who looked like a couple.
If you put aside your position and are not greedy, Yuan Xiumo's handsome appearance and extraordinary demeanor are indeed more pleasing to the eye, and he has a kind of noble aura that is indifferent to the world. Even Quan Zi is slightly inferior to him.
And her father...
Heroic and rough, more domineering and cold, iron-blooded and ruthless.
In terms of the majesty of the king, Emperor Wu Lie is unmatched.
In terms of the gentleman's demeanor, Yuan Xiumo is hard to find in the world.
However, at this time, Yan Donghuang felt it necessary to let them know a fact.
"After I ascended the throne, I have killed one of my brothers and demoted two of my brothers to commoners and imprisoned them for life. How did Your Majesty come to the conclusion that I would treat them well?"
Her Majesty the Queen said calmly: "Let's not talk about whether these three people should die or not. At least they are fighting for the throne with you, and even did a lot of things to seek death in order to seize the throne, but Dong Bai and Qian'er will not, the two of them..."
She paused slightly, her expression slightly complicated: "It is impossible for them to do such a stupid thing."
Yan Donghuang raised his eyebrows.
It seems that in addition to weak body and dull talent, there are other reasons.
Her Majesty the Queen asked, "How is your father's health?"
"He has been recuperating for a year, and he is in good condition this year." Yan Donghuang answered, and took the opportunity to ask the question in his heart, "Was your meeting with your father a coincidence?"
Her Majesty was silent for a moment, and laughed at herself: "You may not believe it if I tell you, I lost my memory when I met him, and my memory was restored on the day you were born. During the 30 days of confinement, I looked at your face every day and thought about my responsibilities. No one can understand that feeling."
Yan Donghuang believed her explanation.
Jimo Xi was the only daughter of the Emperor of Northern Qi. If she had not been calculated to lose her memory, she would have no reason and no chance to get close to the Emperor of Yong Dynasty.
It is even more impossible for her to fall in love with the Emperor of Yong Dynasty and leave after giving birth to a child, leaving so simply without leaving any news.
"Father has also come to Beiqi."
The Queen was stunned, then nodded slowly: "It's good that he has come. Some things should be explained to him."
"You didn't know that Father was coming?"
The Queen was puzzled: "How could I know his whereabouts?"
Yan Donghuang looked at her without saying a word.
The Queen was puzzled at first, then understood something: "You want to ask, how could I know the news that you came to Beiqi?"
Yan Donghuang said indifferently: "Except for the two personal guards, no third person knows my whereabouts along the way."
The Queen was silent, then stood up and said: "Come with me."
Yan Donghuang was puzzled, quietly stood up and followed her out, leaving the main hall, passing through the palace gate on the left, and going to the hall behind.
The second main hall is called Qianyuan Hall.
The Queen and Yuan Xiumo walked in silence all the way and entered Qianyuan Hall. It was so quiet inside that it seemed that no one was there. The Queen turned and walked in, pushing open a door.
This is a room that looks like a study, but it is obviously not a study.
There are rows of bookshelves on the left and right sides, with all kinds of books on the shelves.
In the center, in the front, there is an altar.
There were three cushions on the ground in front of the altar.
A young man in white sat on the cushion in the middle, with his hands clasped together and his eyes closed in meditation.
Yan Donghuang suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart.
Something passed through his mind, but disappeared in an instant.
"Dongbai." Her Majesty the Queen said, "Your sister is here."
Yan Donghuang was startled and subconsciously looked at the boy.
The boy was about sixteen years old, thin and weak, and his white clothes were spotless.
Sitting quietly on the cushion, he had a sense of detachment from the world.
The boy opened his eyes, stood up, straightened his white robe, then turned to look at Yan Donghuang, with a smile on his lips, and bowed slightly: "Sister."
Yan Donghuang did not speak, but stared at the other's eyes without blinking.
His eyes were beautiful, clean and clear, pure and not polluted at all.
These were not normal people's eyes.
"You..." She was a little embarrassed to speak, "Can't you see?"
"I can see." The young man smiled gently, full of kindness, "I know the route my sister took from Yong Dynasty, I can see what my sister encountered on the road, and I can also see the scene of my sister becoming the master of the world in five years."
If he didn't still have some rationality.
If this young man was not his brother from the same mother.
At this time, Yan Donghuang would probably regard him as a madman who was spreading rumors and misleading people.
