Chapter Four Hundred and Sixty Sixth [Life is in Danger] (Part 2)
Xu Fengyi lay motionless on the bed. This graceful and beautiful woman has now turned into an old man with gray hair and a haggard appearance. Hu Xiaotian could hardly believe his eyes. How could such a big change happen to his mother in three months?
Changes, what disease caused her to become like this.
Huo Shengnan had been staying by Xu Fengyi's side. When he saw Hu Xiaotian finally coming back, his eye circles were red and there were crystal tears in his beautiful eyes.
Hot tears were like a river bursting its banks. Seeing his mother in such a state, Hu Xiaotian's heart almost collapsed. Holding his mother's withered left hand, he noticed that his mother's body temperature was still there, her pulse was weak, and her breath was like a gossamer. Hu Xiaotian's shouts when he entered the door did not succeed.
She wakes up.
"What's going on?" Hu Xiaotian raised his head and looked at Huo Shengnan.
Huo Shengnan bit his lips and said, "My wife became ill not long after you left. It was not serious at first, but then when Lord Hu left, the two suddenly had a fierce quarrel. The Lord left the next day.
, Madam became worried from that day on. We invited doctors for her, but she kicked them out. She refused to eat or drink, and her health worsened. We took turns to persuade her to eat, but she still refused.
Seeing her hair turning from black to white and her body becoming weak and weak, I had no choice but to control her acupuncture points and call in a doctor. However, we called in all the famous doctors in the capital. They all said that the lady was suffering from a heart disease.
She herself has given up all her thoughts and has no thoughts of life. Acupuncture and medicine can cure her illness, but they cannot change her heart."
Hu Xiaotian couldn't help crying again when he heard this. He choked and said: "My mother must be worried about dragging me down, so she chose this dead end."
Huo Shengnan said: "I saw that Madam was depressed and worried that she would do something stupid, so I kept an eye on her almost day and night. Sure enough, one day, she wanted to hang herself from a beam in the dead of night, but I stopped her in time. I advised Madam to wait for you.
When I came back, my wife said that she didn’t want to see anyone. After persisting like this for a month, my wife was already dying. Later, news came that Li Tianheng of Xichuan refused to be crowned king. We told her the news. She was concerned about your whereabouts and suddenly said, forget it.
Even if I die, I want to see you before I die. I just managed to eat some food, but my wife refused to speak anymore and refused any treatment from the doctor. The situation has become more and more serious in the past two days, and I am confused. She calls out from time to time and listens to the doctor.
, Madam is afraid she won’t last three days..."
At this time, Xu Fengyi let out a long sigh and said with a cry: "My poor son..."
Hu Xiaotian hurriedly knelt down in front of his mother's bed: "Mom! The baby is back, and the baby is right next to you." He held his mother's hands, and his heart was like a knife when he saw her appearance. After shouting three times in a row, Xu Fengyi finally woke up.
, opened her eyes, and a blurry face appeared in front of her. She trembled: "Xiaotian...is it...are you back?" She stretched out her hand to touch her son's face. Hu Xiaotian moved closer.
Some, grabbed their mother's hands and put them on their faces.
Xu Fengyi tremblingly touched Hu Xiaotian's face. She was sobbing but could no longer shed tears: "Son... you... you are indeed back..." The image in front of her gradually became clear, and she saw Hu Xiaotian's face full of tears.
, she whispered: "Don't cry! Mom is fine, don't cry..."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Mom, you must get better. The baby is back and will never leave you again."
Xu Fengyi slowly shook her head and said: "You will leave eventually...Son, you leave now...and never come back..."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Mom, when you are well, I will take you with me. When my father comes back, we will leave together as a family."
"No!" Xu Fengyi screamed. There was great fear in her voice. Her bony hands subconsciously grabbed Hu Xiaotian's arm, pinching so hard that her nails dug deeply into Hu Xiaotian's skin. Hu Xiaotian endured the pain and didn't know that he was
Why did mentioning my father trigger such a big reaction from my mother?
Xu Fengyi said tremblingly: "No...he won't come back...he won't care about your life or death...he is a liar...he is a liar..." Her emotions suddenly became excited. Her chest heaved violently, and her hands
His eyes were wide open, and the expression on his face looked extremely terrifying.
Hu Xiaotian doesn't know what happened between his parents. In his impression, his parents have always been united in love and respect each other. What did his father do to make his mother so desperate and hate him so much? Thinking of the time when he left Xichuan
Li Tianheng's meaningful conversation reminded him of the old beggar who told him not to worry about his parents. Could it be that his father was indeed the traitor Li Tianheng said he had been talking about? He and Li Tianheng had been plotting rebellion, and he had hidden all this from his mother and himself.
But even so, it would not scare her mother so much. Emperor Dakang was stupid and immoral, so it would be normal for his father to be rebellious. But mother would not choose a dead end because of this, even if he took advantage of this opportunity to go to sea and never come back.
, abandoning their two mother and son, the mother at least still has her by her side, so why is she so desperate?
Xu Fengyi grabbed Hu Xiaotian's arm tightly: "Xiaotian, you go, you go now, promise mother, never see your father again, never..."
Hu Xiaotian secretly sighed in his heart. His mother was ill and seemed to have lost her mind. He comforted her softly: "Mom, please take a good rest. When you recover, can your child leave with you?"
Xu Fengyi shook her head vigorously and said: "No, son, listen carefully. Neither your father nor the Xu family are trustworthy. They are not good people... none of them are good people..."
Huo Shengnan winked and all the maids retreated out. It was not good for outsiders to hear these words.
Hu Xiaotian gently coaxed and persuaded: "Mom, my child will listen to you and won't see them, okay?"
Xu Fengyi nodded and then let go of Hu Xiaotian's arm. After saying these words, she had exhausted all her strength and lay on the bed panting violently. It took a long time before she calmed down and murmured: "You go... you go now...
..." Because he was too weak, he fell into a deep sleep.
Hu Xiaotian wiped away the tears on his cheeks and exited the door. He saw that Huo Shengnan had been waiting for him outside. During this period, Huo Shengnan was obviously haggard due to taking care of his mother day and night. Hu Xiaotian was moved and said: "I'm not here.
Thank you for your hard work during this time."
Huo Shengnan said softly: "Why do you and I need to say such polite words?" In her heart, she had long regarded herself as a member of the Hu family.
Hu Xiaotian was about to ask when he suddenly heard an announcement coming from outside. It was Princess Yongyang who had arrived in Qiqi. Huo Shengnan whispered: "Princess Yongyang comes to visit almost every day these days."
Hu Xiaotian nodded. Qiqi still had some conscience. She was now assisting the emperor in handling government affairs and had a lot of things to do. It was rare to be able to take time out of her busy schedule to visit. Huo Shengnan chose to avoid it. She saw Qiqi not long after she left.
Accompanied by Quan De'an, she walked in. Also coming with her was Wang Zhenglun, the chief physician of Taiyuan Hospital. Wang Zhenglun was also from Xuantian Pavilion, and he was the younger brother of Tian Qing, the director of Xuantian Pavilion.
During this period, Wang Zhenglun would come over every day to diagnose Xu Fengyi's pulse, but to the chief physician's dismay, the patient simply did not cooperate with his treatment.
Hu Xiaotian hugged Qiqi and said softly: "See you, Your Highness!"
Qiqi's beautiful eyes stared at his tear-stained face, showing a bit of sympathy in her eyes, and she said with rare tenderness: "It'll be nice to be back!"
Hu Xiaotian accompanied Wang Zhenglun to diagnose his mother's pulse first. After Wang Zhenglun's diagnosis, he stroked his beard, sighed, and came outside with Hu Xiaotian. Hu Xiaotian said respectfully: "Mr. Wang, how is my mother's condition?" He has profound attainments in surgery, but
Treating his mother's chronic wasting disease was not his specialty.
Wang Zhenglun sighed and said: "Your Majesty, let me tell you the truth, Mrs. Xu's illness was caused by the heart. At first, she was just infected with wind and cold. However, Mrs. Xu was resolutely unwilling to seek treatment and even refused to eat. Since then, her condition has naturally deteriorated.
It is getting worse and worse. Doctors are not afraid of the disease, but what they are most afraid of is that the patient loses his will to live. Once this happens, even if the Great Luo Jinxian comes, he will be helpless."
Hu Xiaotian nodded.
Wang Zhenglun said: "It's good that the commander-in-chief is back. Why don't you persuade Mrs. Xu and encourage her to have the confidence to live? Maybe there will be a glimmer of hope."
Hu Xiaotian said: "From Mr. Wang's perspective, how much hope does my mother have?"
Wang Zhenglun sighed again, shook his head and said: "Mrs. Xu's situation has been exhausted. Unless a miracle occurs, even if my senior brother comes back, there will be no way to save her."
Hu Xiaotian thanked Wang Zhenglun and asked the butler Hoover to lead him to write a prescription and make the medicine.
Qiqi came to Hu Xiaotian and wanted to persuade him but didn't know where to start.
Hu Xiaotian asked: "How many days has my father been gone?"
Qiqi said: "The eighth day you left Kangdu."
Hu Xiaotian asked: "Is there any news?"
Qiqi shook her head and said: "In the first month, there were flying pigeons sending messages, but since then there has been no news."
Hu Xiaotian whispered: "If they arrived in Luosong successfully, they should return now." He felt something was wrong in his heart, but he didn't know what was wrong.
Qiqi hesitated to speak. She saw that Hu Xiaotian was in an extremely bad mood. Now was not the time to discuss this issue. She said softly: "You just came back. If you have anything to do, we will talk about it later. The top priority is to relieve Mrs. Xu's heartache and let her get rid of it as soon as possible."
Get better." Qiqi understood that Xu Fengyi was already dead. If a person is bent on seeking death, medicine cannot cure him.
Hu Xiaotian said: "I'd like to trouble my princess to ask for leave in front of the emperor for me. After these two days, I will go to your majesty to plead guilty and explain everything that happened in Xichuan."
Qiqi sighed and said: "The responsibility for that matter does not lie with you in the first place. I will take care of anything for you." Although it was just a plain sentence, it fully demonstrated the determination to advance and retreat together with Hu Xiaotian.
Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but glance at her. Qiqi had lost weight again, her eyes looked big and clear, and she gradually lost her childishness and became a young girl who was charming in every way.
