"Didn't my father also attack the Khitans from the north in Tan Yuan back then? The imperial commander personally marched and commanded millions of troops to defeat the enemy chiefs and the desolate land!"

Faced with his son's flattery, Zhao Heng was not happy at all, but looked serious: "You have to remember that the Battle of Tanyuan back then was fought out of desperation by me, and the result was that Kou Laoxi is still carrying it.

infamy."

After saying this, Zhao Heng seemed to have lost all his strength and lay helplessly on the bed.

"No! My father is right, Prime Minister Kou is right, what is wrong are short-sighted people, what is wrong are people who are full of anger and ignorance, and what is wrong are idiots who are mentally strong but physically weak!"

Zhao Zhen's angry condemnation moved Zhao Heng very much. He knew that this was the child's comfort, and a father should be content to have such blind comfort.

"Yi'er, don't be lenient. If only I had persevered a little longer... eh!"

"Father, what's wrong with you? You did the right thing! The Battle of Tanyuan had exhausted the national strength. If we continue to drive away the Liao people and the Yanyun land, the consequences would be disastrous? Back then, Taizong..."

Faced with his father's sudden sitting up, Zhao Zhen's voice became softer and softer.

Looking at his aggrieved son, Zhao Heng sighed: "I don't blame you, but what you said is right. This is why I signed the Tanyuan Alliance with the Liao people. I have no cavalry in the Song Dynasty!"

Just as the father and son were having a heart-to-heart, the door curtain was violently opened, and a gust of cold wind blew in, causing Zhao Zhen, who was wearing thin clothes, to sneeze twice. Zhao Heng turned his head angrily to look at the visitor.

"Presumptuous!" Chen Lin, who was originally like a clay figure, suddenly got up and slapped the two people hard.

The person who came did not cry out in pain, but fell to the ground and cried bitterly: "I am reporting to the officials, my father has gone!"

When Zhao Heng saw the person coming clearly, he shouted: "It hurts me!" and started to cry loudly.

Zhao Zhen wanted to cry, but for some reason he couldn't hold back any tears. He just stood there blankly in the palace, as stiff as a dead man.

The visitor is Wang Dan’s eldest son Wang Yong...

The East Palace backyard, which used to be filled with laughter, was eerily silent. All the chambermaids and maids slowed down their steps. Even Peng Qi, the loudest one, turned into a sour scholar. He spoke softly and slowly, but no one could laugh.

The prince just fell asleep, or to be precise, he passed out.

Hu Yuan from the Tibetan Medicine Hospital carefully felt Zhao Zhen's pulse and said: "It's nothing serious, just excessive sadness. Wei Chen prescribes two calming and calming medicines, and he will be better in a few days."

"Are you a doctor? Why do I think you want to be a wandering doctor? If there is something wrong with my old Zhao..."

"That's enough! Don't make any more trouble. Just listen to Dr. Hu!" Wang Yuyan gently interrupted the little fat man. She understood that Cai Boqi was furious now, but Zhao Zhen had just fallen asleep. What if he woke up?

It’s time to rest.

Her words were very effective. Cai Boqi immediately fell silent, took Hu Yuan's prescription and walked to the Tibetan Medicine Hospital. Hu Yuan automatically filtered out his disrespectful words and followed.

Wang Yuyan stared blankly at Zhao Zhen, who was still frowning in his sleep. Zhao Miaoyuan explained softly at the side: "He is grieving for a moment. He will be fine in a few days, but he must be allowed to attend Wang Xianggong's funeral, otherwise

He will never forget it for the rest of his life."

Wang Yuyan nodded. How could she not know how Zhao Zhen was feeling at this time? Since he came back, he had not eaten, drank or spoken for three days. He seemed to be stupid. This was the case when his mother died.

I had seen it myself, when the two were still college classmates.

The reason why Zhao Zhen became a cultural relic thief was to fulfill his mother's last wish as an archaeologist and return all cultural relics belonging to China to the embrace of the motherland.

He stroked Zhao Zhen's frowning brows distressedly. He once said that he never wanted to attend a funeral again. He couldn't stand the sad atmosphere.

No matter what happens, it will not affect the supreme principles of heaven and earth such as the cycle of the sun and the moon. Night falls on time and envelopes the Prince's East Palace. It will not change because of anyone's departure, just like the moon in the sky. Are you here?

, it all hangs high in the night sky.

Zhao Zhen woke up after sleeping for a day and night. A sour feeling came from his eyelids, which made him want to close his eyes. However, thinking of Wang Dan's death, the unhealed sadness in his heart came over him like a tide.

He knew it was not the time to sleep, so he stood up and looked at Wang Yuyan beside him. It was probably because of fatigue. At this time, her pretty face was already occupied by fatigue.

I am really selfish, how can I let the person I love the most suffer.

He stood up quietly, but no matter how careful he was, he still disturbed Wang Yuyan who was sleeping.

"You're awake!"

Looking at the embarrassed Zhao Zhen, Wang Yuyan said excitedly.

"Then what's bothering you? Come up and go back to sleep. I'll go to the kitchen to find something to eat. My stomach is calling me!"

"I'm not sleeping in your bed. I've actually fallen asleep a long time ago and I've had enough sleep now. I'll accompany you to the kitchen."

Wang Yuyan stood up, straightened her clothes and put on a large fur coat. She also put another one on Zhao Zhen. She looked like a gentle and virtuous wife, and Zhao Zhen's heart was instantly filled with warmth.

She gently took her hand and walked toward the kitchen, like two young lovers eloping.

When he left the bedroom and reached the living room, he was captured alive. Cai Boyi had a lewd smile on his fat face: "Hey, we are going to elope! Take us with you!" After saying that, he took Zhao Miaoyuan's hand and stood up.

Zhao Zhen was so moved that he didn't know what to say. He looked at the fat man with bags under his eyes, punched him in the face and said, "You are so hypocritical!"

Cai Boqi punched back: "You almost scared me to death! But we are Xiaoqiang, your life is tough! You are hungry, don't explain, you look like a weasel, I know you haven't eaten meat for three days! Look!

Look what this is!”

The little fat man proudly opened the lid of the casserole, and a smell of aroma wafted out. The braised chicken legs were shining with oil under the candlelight. The long heating had caused the bones and flesh to separate and become rotten.

He is truly a best friend and has a very thorough understanding of Zhao Zhen.

It took two days for Zhao Zhen's body to recover. The little fat man reminded: "Today Mr. Wang is going to be buried. As students, shouldn't we go see the old man on his last journey?"

Zhao Zhen nodded: "Of course I want to go. I wanted to go a few days ago, but I was afraid that there would be too many ministers in the court. I will definitely go today. Peng Qi prepared a car and covered the car with black cloth."

Peng Qi nodded and went to prepare. In fact, the carriage had been prepared long ago. He knew that the prince would definitely go back to attend Wang Dan's burial.

After Zhao Zhen and Cai Boyi got into the car, they saw Chen Lin sitting in the car like a ghost. The little fat man was so frightened that he almost fell off.

"The official family has a decree. The prince goes on behalf of the official family. Don't let the prince go all the way!"

After saying that, he floated out again like a shadow.

"Is he a human or a ghost? How come there is no sound when he walks!" Cai Boyi couldn't help complaining after he came back to his senses, but when he saw Chen Lin turning around, he got into the car in a mess.

The black carriage arrived at the Wang Mansion. After Zhao Zhen and Cai Boyi got out of the car, they discovered that the Liu Mansion and Yang Mansion next door had also hung up pale lanterns, which looked even more tragic with the gloomy sky.

The appearance of Zhao Zhen undoubtedly poured cold water on the oil pan, causing the crowd to explode.
