On the way back, Su Zhenting explained the reason to Li Chen.
"The Holy One arranged for these Wu brothers back then, and I only found out about it after the Holy One was seriously ill."
"In the words of the Holy One, if Your Highness can use these two brothers, I will ask you to guide Your Highness to the Ancestral Temple. But if you can't use them, then let them disappear forever."
Su Zhenting said this calmly, but there was still murderous intent boiling inside him.
Li Chen said with a dark face: "What else are you hiding from me?"
Su Zhenting spread his hands and said: "No more. After all, the arrangement made by the Holy One only ends here. After that, Your Highness will need to go on by himself."
Li Chen sighed softly and said: "Sometimes I really feel that my father-in-law is unfathomable, as if every move I make is controlled by him."
"no."
Su Zhenting shook his head and said with a serious face: "In fact, the current situation is the best situation calculated by the Lord and the minister back then. In fact, the Lord himself did not believe that the situation would be so smooth."
"The Holy One is even prepared to fall short of success. For example, after the prince obtained the power to supervise the country, he was immediately ignored by Zhao Xuanji."
"If this is the case, then neither Chen nor the Wu brothers need to appear again."
Li Chen glanced at Su Zhenting and said, "If something like this really happens and the country changes hands, what does the emperor want you to do?"
"Should we give up this palace, choose one of the other young heirs to hide, and then plan to make a comeback?"
When Su Zhenting heard this, he said calmly: "If this is really the case, then I will fight to the death until the last moment."
"His Highness's plan to select a young prince was rejected by the Holy One himself. The Holy One said that even such a plan of more than ten years has failed. What's the use of the plans of the next few decades or even more years? Just It seems that the White Lotus Sect, a remnant of the previous dynasty, can only be reduced to a tool and excuse for others to seek benefits. It is fitting that the Li family has changed hands, and human power cannot defy the destiny."
Li Chen heard this and said no more.
At this time, we happened to pass through the Meridian Gate and came to Da Nei.
Li Chen did not go to the East Palace, but to the Qianqing Palace.
"I'm going to see my father. You go ahead and go." Li Chen waved his hand.
Su Zhenting was not surprised, he bowed slightly, saluted and left quietly.
All the way to the Qianqing Palace, he dismissed the eunuchs and maids who were waiting for the emperor all day long, and asked the imperial doctor about the emperor's condition as usual. After getting the same answer as before, Li Chen entered the Qianqing Palace.
In the Qianqing Palace, which is magnificent and shows royal majesty everywhere, the bitter medicinal smell is still strong.
"You all stand down."
After asking the serving maids and eunuchs to leave, Li Chen walked to the bedside.
On the dragon couch, under the golden silk and golden dragon brocade quilt, lay Emperor Daxing, who was even thinner than before.
At this moment, Emperor Daxing's eyes were tightly closed. There were some scars on his almost skinny face, and his hair was even grayer. He looked like he was dying. If it weren't for his chest that was still rising and falling slightly, it would be hard to tell whether he was alive or dead.
Sitting on the edge of the dragon couch, Li Chen looked at Emperor Daxing who was breathing weakly and sighed: "Father, my son has learned a lesson."
"Your methods are really powerful."
Emperor Daxing was naturally unable to give Li Chen any response.
After a moment of silence, Li Chen leaned over slightly and whispered into Emperor Daxing's ear: "Don't worry, I will protect this country for you and no one can take it away."
