Chapter 184 Tell His Highness the truth, he wants to be a royal husband
Xiao Wang told himself to just wait until he found the antidote. As long as the poison was cured, he would have no worries anymore.
But after waiting and waiting, I met the old valley owner, but no good news came, and there was still no exact time.
"Shaoqing, are you okay?"
Jinyan looked at Xiao Wang's expression and asked again.
Xiao Wang took a deep breath and said, "It's okay. Go remind the kitchen to prepare His Highness's meal. Be careful. Keep an eye on it. If His Highness doesn't eat, remind me."
"Yes, Shao Qing."
Xiao Wang knew Chu Xingchen, and Chu Xingchen was really not in the mood to eat lunch. He thought about it and asked someone to make a bowl of cold noodles and delivered it to him personally.
From that day on, Xiao Wang naturally saw that Chu Xingchen was in a normal mood. Although he felt guilty and helpless, he was actually a little happy, because this might prove that she also had herself in her heart, otherwise why would she be bored?
He wanted the antidote more and more. As long as he found the antidote, he could make it clear to Her Highness and tell her his feelings boldly.
During this period, he could not feel sorry for himself. Her Highness needed him, and he wanted to be by her side. Although he could not say it, he had to let her experience his feelings.
"Your Highness, at this time, you cannot fall down. You have to eat."
Chu Xingchen looked at Xiao Wang, then at the Queen, "You're right." After saying that, he cheered up and started eating.
Xiao Wang was satisfied. As a result, after Chu Xingchen had eaten a few mouthfuls, Shen Cangzhu and Ling Zhou both came and brought food.
Not only Xiao Wang paid attention to whether Chu Xingchen had eaten, but they were also concerned.
They all brought a lot of vegetables, which Chu Xingchen liked to eat before. Lingzhou also brought cherries for Chu Xingchen.
"That's the last cherry. I'll have to wait until next year to eat again."
"Thank you, don't worry, I will definitely pay attention to my health and eat well, and you will eat too."
Xiao Wang ate a cherry and felt extremely sour.
Seeing Shen Cangzhu Lingzhou surrounding Chu Xingchen, his hands tightened and then unclenched.
In the afternoon, after taking the old miracle doctor's medicine, the queen woke up.
Her breathing was better than in the morning. When she saw Chu Xingchen sitting beside her bed and reading the memorial, she smiled happily. At least there was a successor to the Chu family.
"What kind of problem did you encounter that made you frown so much?"
"Mother, you're awake." Chu Xingchen was surprised when he heard her voice, "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Doctor..."
"Stop working so hard. I'm fine. The Queen Mother would like to have a few words with you quietly."
Chu Xingchen hurriedly helped the Queen sit up, "Don't worry, Queen Mother, we will definitely find the medicine. Once you take the medicine, you will be fine."
The queen smiled and touched Chu Xingchen's face. She knew her body best, and she knew from the doctor's expression that she might not be able to survive this time.
"Xingchen, when you come to the throne, who do you want to make as your royal husband?"
The Queen's question made Chu Xingchen stunned for a moment, then he reacted and said hurriedly, "Mother Queen, I told you that you will definitely be fine if you take medicine."
"When I get old, you will eventually take over the throne. Don't be nervous. The Queen Mother is not testing you, she just wants to ask you what you think."
"Shen Cangzhu, Xiao Wang and Ling Zhou, the one who is most suitable to be the emperor's wife is Shen Cangzhu. After all, Xiao Wang is just a commoner, and Ling Zhou's character is not suitable."
"But you haven't consummated your marriage yet. If you are not satisfied with the three of them, you can also directly marry the prince's husband and make him the emperor's husband. Nowadays, those aristocratic families are vying to be the emperor's husband."
"No, Queen Mother, I haven't thought about anyone else." Chu Xingchen said hurriedly.
"Then it's still the three of them." The queen ignored Zhou Buyan, as if he didn't exist.
The Queen did not notice that Chu Xingchen was distracted, "Shen Cangzhu is suitable. If you make him your husband after you ascend the throne, the previous dynasty may be much more stable, but there are also disadvantages. Over time, the balance will be broken."
This is inevitable, as the former dynasty and the harem are all owned by the Shen family.
"So you can wait and make him your noble prince first. He has the highest status. Even if he is not made the emperor's husband, Shen Cangzhu will be in your harem, and Shen Chieffu will do his best to assist you."
"In a few years, it will be enough for you to promote new people and find someone who can take over Shen's chief assistant."
The Queen was just announcing the funeral arrangements, which made Chu Xingchen feel very uncomfortable. "Mother, it's too early to say this."
"It's late. Your imperial grandmother also taught me this way back then."
The queen asked Chu Xingchen to listen, "The most important thing in the royal family is the emperor's heir. Just remember, it doesn't matter who Shen Cangzhu, Xiao Wangling, and Lingzhou are pregnant with. If you think the child can be the crown prince or daughter, then Consider making the child’s father the royal husband.”
"Since ancient times, the mother is valued by the child, and the father is valued by the son. This way, the child is the legitimate child."
The Queen still ignored Zhou Ziyan, and then talked about some affairs of the previous court, which ministers were available, and talked a lot about the way of the emperor and the art of the emperor.
Zhou Buyan was silent and could only be heard in his ears.
He was not surprised by the Queen's words, so he could calmly control his mind and be on duty.
But in the end he was still distracted because he didn't know if His Highness would become His Majesty, whether there would still be a place for him beside her.
Xiao Wang, who heard that the Queen was awake and brought the medicine himself, happened to hear the Queen speak. He knew he shouldn't listen, so he immediately retreated, but he still heard the most important words.
The words "It's just a concubine after all" are like sharp arrows piercing my heart.
Xiao Wang lowered his head and looked at his hands. Even if he was just a concubine, if he wanted to, he could be His Highness's husband, or even the emperor's husband.
After knowing that he was poisoned, when he couldn't sleep in the midnight dream, when he saw Shen Cangzhu and Ling Zhou looking for Chu Xingchen, and when he heard the sentence "It's just a concubine," Xiao Wang would have impulses flashing in his mind. Thought - tell Chu Xingchen everything.
Xiao Wang believed that if he told her, Chu Xingchen would not ignore it, and she might even stay with him regardless.
Because he had taken the medicine for her before, she would definitely fulfill all his requests. Even if he asked that she could only have him alone, he would be the royal wife and ask her to drive Shen Cangzhu and the others out of the East Palace. She will also agree.
And before she finds the antidote, she will definitely resist the pressure and not have children. Even if she can never have children, she will do it and find a way to wait for Chu Xinghai to grow up.
The person he loves stays with him for the rest of his life and just guards him. For Xiao Wang, it is full of temptation.
He struggled, just like at this moment, crazily thinking that it would be like this, but in the end he didn't say it, he didn't want her to force it, and he didn't want her to be under so much pressure.
More importantly, the emotion he wanted was never guilt or sympathy.
If His Highness knew about his illness, he would definitely feel guilty for the rest of his life.
He doesn't want her to feel guilty for the rest of her life.
If...if he can't cure it, the only thing he can do for her is to hide it so that she will never know.
Because he was willing to take it for her at that time, he also thought it was poison and was prepared to be poisoned to death directly.
In this case, what is there to say.
He has no regrets or complaints, he just hates God for always playing tricks on him and giving him a fatal blow when he is full of hope and happiest.
Xiao Wang glanced at Shen Cangzhu and Ling Zhou who came one after another, thinking that according to their personalities, if it were them, they would make the same choice as him.
