After Xing Bang left the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Liu Xian suddenly started coughing violently, and a lot of sweat instantly overflowed from his forehead.
"Someone, bring a wet towel."
Cao Zhengchun was frightened and hurried to Liu Xian, patting his back to help him calm down.
"Someone, bring a wet towel."
"I……"
Liu Xian was still coughing and couldn't speak a complete sentence.
Soon, the young eunuch came in with clean water, quickly soaked the cloth and wrung out the water, then walked forward and wiped the sweat from Liu Xian's forehead.
It took a long time for Liu Xian to recover, stop coughing and breathe heavily.
The young eunuch brought more tea. Liu Xian took a few sips and then waved his hand to signal the young eunuch to go down.
Cao Zhengchun quickly supported Liu Xian and helped him lie down slowly.
"Your Majesty, please stop being so anxious and worried. What will happen if the dragon's body is injured?"
It was not an exaggeration for Cao Zhengchun to say that it was like a worm in Liu Xian's stomach. He knew that Liu Xian was just angry and he knew exactly what was going on.
It is conceivable that an emperor has no choice but to entrust his country and everything he has to one person.
How can I not be furious when I have to appear magnanimous on the surface?
"Otomo, I'm fine..."
Liu Xian also understood that Cao Zhengchun knew what he was thinking.
When Xing Bang was present, he was trying hard to suppress the depression and anger in his heart.
"Now, I'm afraid I can only talk to you in private."
"Your Majesty, now that things have come to this, you should stop thinking too much and focus on resting the dragon's body."
This was the only way Cao Zhengchun could comfort him, implying that nothing could be done to change the situation and that thinking too much would only hurt his body.
"I understand!"
"Okay, my dear, you don't have to worry about my health anymore. Just talk to me."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Cao Zhengchun nodded.
"My dear, I already feel that I don't have much time left..."
"Your Majesty, you must not be so discouraged. I will try my best to make your health better."
Cao Zhengchun had a distressed look on his face. He had held Liu Xian in his arms since he was a child. More than 50 years had passed in a flash. It was not an exaggeration to say that the relationship between the master and servant was like that between father and son.
Liu Xian smiled bitterly and shook his head. "I, it is better to die than to live. I am already a superfluous person."
"Although I am unwilling, I have accepted my fate. This is why I have made up my mind to abdicate to the Crown Prince."
"I am now extremely disheartened. I only hope that the Crown Prince can be safe and that my Great Yao will prosper."
"His Majesty……"
As he spoke, Cao Zhengchun's eyes turned red and tears began to flow. Liu Xian's words made him feel heartbroken.
"I am an incompetent servant who cannot help Your Majesty, and I am even more sorry for the kindness of the late emperor."
"I, an old slave, have no other thoughts. I just hope to serve Your Majesty forever..."
It is obvious that Cao Zhengchun wants to be with Liu Xian forever.
Liu Xian's eyes were also moist, and he grasped Cao Zhengchun's hand, "My dear, you can't do this!"
"After I die, you just need to keep your edge, and the Regent will not do anything to you."
"I want you to live well, so stay in the palace and retire. You can also protect the prince for me."
"Your Majesty, I, your old servant..."
"Otomo, this is my last wish, I hope you will agree to it!"
Liu Xian looked at the hesitant Cao Zhengchun with anticipation.
"Okay, I will obey your order. Even if I die, I will not let your majesty down."
Cao Zhengchun nodded. This was the only thing he needed to do for the rest of his life, to take good care of Crown Prince Liu Hui.
However, it was of no use. Killing him with the Xing stick was as easy as stepping on an ant.
Having said that, what Liu Xian thought was absolutely correct. To put it bluntly, in Xing Bang's heart, he was indeed a redundant person.
Liu Xian finally had his mind relieved. In his opinion, Crown Prince Liu Hui had more protection.
He had already thought about Cao Zhengchun's problem in his mind, and he didn't intend to explain anything to Xing Bang, as that would only arouse suspicion.
"Otomo, I have one more thing I wanted to tell the Regent, but I was so upset that I didn't say anything."
Although he was not officially conferred the title, in Liu Xian's mind, Xing Bang's regent status was already a foregone conclusion, unless the sun did not rise normally the next day.
Cao Zhengchun frowned slightly, "Your Majesty, are you talking about the eldest princess?"
Liu Xian nodded, "Yes, what do you think?"
Hearing this, Cao Zhengchun sighed, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid the relationship between the Regent and the Princess is also extraordinary."
Cao Zhengchun, who had spent most of his life in the palace, had a basic understanding of many things he had been suspicious about after learning that Xing Bang was not a eunuch, even better than Liu Xian.
"Then let's do this and let Li Zhi regain her freedom."
Although Liu Xian was not quite sure, he was not surprised. He thought that there was probably nothing in the world that the boy would not dare to do.
However, he didn't want to tell Xing Bang in person that he had bought it. It was really enough.
I have given everything I should have given, so I should give myself some dignity for this last thing.
"Otomo, you know, although I am unwilling to give in, I wish I could tear that boy into pieces."
"I hate him, but I also respect him. He is indeed a rare genius that only appears once in a thousand years."
"With him assisting the Crown Prince, I believe that Dayao will become the overlord in the future."
"But, Your Majesty, don't worry, he..."
Cao Zhengchun asked, this is also an obvious thing.
