Chapter 548 Father and Son Reunion
Empress Dowager Yuan narrowed her eyes, and the look she gave Yuan Jiuan couldn't help but be a little fierce.
No matter how hard she tried, she still couldn't prevent Yuan Jiuan from causing trouble at the succession ceremony.
It's not that she hadn't thought about the abdication edict, but she just felt that there was no need for it.
After all, Emperor Chu has no descendants, and his power has been taken away by her.
Now he is no different from a transparent dead person.
Retracting her thoughts, Empress Dowager Yuan said indifferently: "Emperor Chu is seriously ill and can't get out of bed. I'm afraid he won't be able to attend the crown prince ceremony today."
"But Prince Chengxuan doesn't have to worry. I personally informed him a few days ago about the appointment of a crown prince for Xishu, and he agreed."
Yuan Jiuan sneered in his heart. He knew that Emperor Chu was locked in a secret room by Empress Dowager Yuan, with the tendons of his hands and feet cut and he was imprisoned with iron chains.
Of course she didn't dare let Emperor Chu come out, because she wanted to kill him.
Yuan Jiuan said: "The emperor is seriously ill, he should go out for a walk more often, and seeing the sun will help him get better faster."
"It just so happens that when I came here this time, I brought a top-grade Thousand Mountain Snow Lotus with me, and I was going to present it to Emperor Chu. Maybe this medicine will be good for his health."
"According to the time, I haven't seen Emperor Chu for many years. If the Queen Mother doesn't mind, please let me see him. I can also send him my best regards on behalf of the people of Jizhou."
A trace of anger rose in Empress Dowager Yuan's heart. Don't think she didn't know Yuan Jiuan's purpose.
He wanted to see Emperor Chu simply to find a reason to prevent Yuan Chao from ascending the throne.
But two nights ago, she had ordered to stop giving Emperor Chu food and medicine, and even ran over to humiliate him in front of him.
He might be dead now, so how could he come here?
If Yuan Jiuan knew that she abused Emperor Chu, he would inevitably turn against her in public.
If a quarrel breaks out, it will only be more ugly.
Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Yuan slowed down her tone and said, "The Thousand Mountain Snow Lotus is so precious, Your Majesty, you should keep it for yourself!"
"As for Emperor Chu, you don't have to worry. I have already sent people to give him the best medicine to regulate his body. Your Highness, please don't worry about it!"
While Yuan Jiuan was arguing with Queen Mother Yuan, Ji Yuntang and Hua Feixue had already sneaked out while no one was paying attention.
The two hid in the space and headed straight for the place where Emperor Chu was previously imprisoned.
Ji Yuntang discovered that more than half of the secret guards outside the palace seemed to be missing today, with only less than ten people left.
They opened the door and sneaked in quietly.
The two came out of the space, Ji Yuntang found the candlestick, turned it gently, and the door of the secret room opened.
Hua Feixue walked in first. He walked quickly, and his heart was filled with uncontrollable excitement. He wished he could see Emperor Chu right away.
When they reached the bottom of the secret room and saw the old man lying on the bed, Hua Feixue rushed over.
"Father, I'm here to save you."
He took out the key that Ji Yuntang had stolen and quickly went to help Emperor Chu unlock the door.
In a trance, Emperor Chu heard someone calling his name. He opened his eyes slightly and saw a familiar figure swaying in front of him.
So close, yet so intimate.
Emperor Chu recognized him almost immediately; this was his most beloved son, Chu Yi.
Recalling what Queen Dowager Yuan had said about the Crown Prince's death, his eyes suddenly became wet.
"Am I already dead? I actually saw Yi'er."
"Yier, I can die without regrets just because I can see you down there."
He thought he had arrived in the underworld, so he could see Chu Yi.
The next second, a face wearing a black scarf suddenly appeared in front of him, and Chu Yi grabbed his hand tightly.
"Father, you are not dead. I am Yi'er. I am here to save you."
He opened the chains, took off the veil, and without caring whether Emperor Chu was dirty or not, he simply picked him up and sat him up.
Only then did Emperor Chu see Chu Yi's face clearly. His eyes were shining with excitement, his hands were shaking, and his face was full of disbelief.
"Yier, it's really you, you're still alive."
Hua Feixue was also very excited when father and son reunited, and his eyes were red at that moment.
"Father, I am not dead. This is all a conspiracy by Empress Dowager Yuan. She deliberately spread the news that I was dead in order to seize the imperial power of the Chu family."
"But don't worry, my son has grown up now. I won't let her succeed. I will rescue you now."
Emperor Chu looked at Hua Feixue, his heart surging like a torrent.
At this moment, he really felt that the boy he once held and coaxed had now grown into a man who could stand on his own.
It would be a lie to say he wasn't proud.
Hua Feixue picked up Emperor Chu easily. The weight of the old man in his arms was much lighter than he had imagined.
Because the tendons in his hands and feet were broken, Emperor Chu's hands and feet were hanging down, and he felt extreme pain when he moved even the slightest.
Hua Feixue cursed Empress Dowager Yuan in her heart for being so cruel that she could torture such a good person like this.
He must also let her taste the torture.
Ji Yuntang stood by and did not disturb the reunion between father and son.
She observed that Emperor Chu had already finished the water and food she had left for him.
She took out some liquid food and a tranquilizer and gave them to Hua Feixue.
"Feed your father something first, then give him this medicine. After he falls asleep, I will take him to the space."
Hua Feixue nodded and began to feed Emperor Chu carefully.
Emperor Chu also cooperated by opening his mouth and swallowing the food one by one.
After taking the tranquilizer, he fell asleep in Hua Feixue's arms soon after.
Ji Yuntang moved his mind and transferred them to a ward in the Space Hospital.
She took out a set of hospital gown and handed it to Hua Feixue, then pointed to the bathroom and told him how to use the water heater.
"Your father took my medicine and fell asleep. His life is not in danger now. Once we finish dealing with these things, I will perform surgery to reconnect his tendons."
"There are towels and hot water in the bathroom. Please clean his body and put on clean clothes."
Hua Feixue nodded and agreed to everything, "Okay, this prince understands."
Ji Yuntang added: "Just take care of your father in the space first. You shouldn't be needed outside now."
"This princess cannot leave for too long. I will go out first. I will let you out when I need you."
Hua Feixue agreed and said, "Thank you."
Ji Yuntang smiled and flashed out of the space.
She returned to Chengqian Palace quietly without being discovered by anyone.
At this moment, due to their disagreements, the conflict between Empress Dowager Yuan and Yuan Jiuan was completely ignited.
