Filial son?
That's an interesting word.
Na Yan wasn't angry after hearing that.
He said lightly, "Ah Tuo, we are all Father's sons. Could it be that caring for Father is the conspiracy theory that you speak of?"
"Whether it's a conspiracy theory or not, Royal Brother knows best."
"I don't quite understand what you mean."
"I don't think there are some things that I don't need to be so clear. Now that Father is seriously ill, the position of Crown Prince is uncertain. We don't know if we will be king or minister in the future." Tuo waved his sleeves and left.
Na Yan stood there calmly. Looking at Tuo's back, he sneered.
"I'll teach you a lesson later."
Then, the two of them arrived at King Huyi's palace.
In the palace, King Huyi was sitting on the bed and drinking medicine.
Because he had been lying on the bed for a long time, his face was getting paler and paler.
He also looked more haggard.
Because King Huyi thought highly of Li Qiao, he had been waiting by his side. During the period when King Huyi was seriously ill, if there were no accidents, he would enter the palace almost every day to serve him.
Now, he was standing at the side.
The two princes came in together.
They cupped their hands and bowed.
"Greetings, Royal Father."
Reverent and respectful!
King Huyi didn't say anything. He drank the medicine, wiped his mouth, and looked at his two sons in front of him.
It had to be said that they both inherited some of King Huyi's elegance when he was young.
But each had their own characteristics!
King Huyi was silent for a long time before he said, "In the future, you two don't have to come to see me often. Just focus on managing the court."
"Yes!" the two answered.
"Tuo 'er."
"Yes, Your Highness."
King Huyi: "You grew up with me, and I have always had high expectations for you. But you don't have enough experience. It's inevitable that you will be unfamiliar with some things. So, you have to be more attentive. Don't be careless, understand?"
"Your Highness understands. Everything is for the sake of the country and the people."
"Well, it's good that you understand."
Tuo was secretly delighted. His Highness suddenly said this to him, and the meaning was obvious.
It was as if he was hinting that the position of Crown Prince would belong to him!
Just as he was thinking —
King Huyi suddenly shouted, "Yan 'er."
Na Yan: "Your son is here."
"All these years, you've put in a lot of effort to quell the war at the border. I've seen it all."
"This is what I should do," Na Yan replied.
"But you are still a prince. My health is not as good as before. You and Tuo-er must help each other in the court."
"Yes."
As the elder brother, Na Yan was naturally more steady.
However —
Tuo's face was extremely dark.
The joy in his heart was swept away!
However, he still concealed the anger and jealousy in his heart and did not show it.
After saying those words, King Huyi couldn't stand it anymore and coughed hard.
Seeing this, Tuo immediately took a few steps forward.
His face was filled with worry.
"Father? Are you okay? "
King Huyi calmed down and felt better. "I'm fine."
"Imperial Physician Xuan, come and take a look."
"No need, I know my body."
"But Father …"
"Alright, don't worry," King Huyi said weakly.
Na Tuo opened his mouth, but in the end, he still swallowed the words of "concern".
He stepped back and returned to his original position.
Just as he was stepping back, Na Yan suddenly tripped him when he wasn't paying attention.
"Ugh!"
Na Tuo staggered.
His body was unsteady.
He leaned backwards.
Na Yan reached out his hand in time and pretended to protect his arm. His fingers pinched the wound caused by Jing Rong's dagger and applied force …
Because the wound was not completely healed!
Being pinched like that, Na Tuo couldn't help but groan in pain.
He broke out in cold sweat!
Na Yan quickly let go of his arm and pretended to be shocked. "Ah Tuo, is your arm really injured? It's been a few days. How can you not treat it? It's better to let the imperial physician come and take a look. "
"You …" Na Tuo clutched his arm and his face stiffened.
He knew that Na Yan did it on purpose!
He had tried every possible way to hide the fact that assassins had entered his residence. He had also ordered no one to reveal the fact that he was injured. He didn't expect that he couldn't hide it from his cunning and sinister imperial brother.
"What happened?" King Huyi asked.
Na Tuo endured the pain and lowered his head. "This son is fine!"
"Fine?" King Huyi naturally didn't believe him. He directly asked Na Yan, "Tell me, what happened?"
"Imperial Father, this …"
"What is this? Tell me! "" Yes! " Na Yan revealed an awkward expression and explained in detail, "A few days ago, this son heard that an assassin had entered the Third Marquis' residence. Ah Tuo ordered all the guards in the residence to search, but … they couldn't find the assassin. It seems that Ah Tuo was injured. This son thought that it was just a rumor.
I didn't expect that the assassin would accidentally touch Ah Tuo's wound. This matter should be true. "
Na Tuo looked as if he had been skinned.
Then, he was slapped a few times!
A dignified prince was injured by an assassin in his own residence. Wasn't this the same as digging his own grave?
King Huyi turned to him and asked, "Is this true?"
"Imperial Father … This son …"
"Tell me the truth!"
Na Tuo fiercely clenched his teeth and glared at Na Yan. "Yes … it's true."
"Did you find the assassin?"
"Not yet!"
"Ridiculous!" King Huyi scolded, "How can a prince let an assassin sneak into his residence? Not only did he injure you, but he is also still getting away with it. How can you be a prince?"
"Please forgive me, Imperial Father!" Na Tuo knelt down.
Na Yan immediately said, "Imperial Father, please calm down. I believe that Ah Tuo will increase the security of the residence in the future. Moreover, he is also injured. Please don't punish him."
The anger in Na Tuo's eyes intensified.
Thousands of curses ran through his mind.
He couldn't help but admire Na Yan!
This move was really ruthless!
King Huyi was angry. He didn't care whether his son was injured or not. He waved his hand and said, "Forget it. All of you can leave."
Na Tuo shouted, "Imperial Father …"
"Get out!"
He shouted angrily.
Li Qiao, who was standing at the side, quickly advised, "Princes, please leave first. The King needs to rest."
Tuo stood up from the ground with a ball of anger in his heart. He glanced at Na Yan beside him and cupped his hands respectfully.
"This son … will take his leave."
He said each word with force.
Na Yan followed closely behind him and left.
When the two of them walked out of the main hall, Na Tuo stopped and turned to question Na Yan.
"What do you mean?"
Na Yan smiled. "I don't seem to understand what you mean."
"You deliberately forced me to tell you that I was injured in front of Imperial Father so that you can pull me down from the throne! Imperial Brother, you are really amazing. "
