But in the end, the situation that Sang Jueqian had imagined did not happen.
The emperor was still alive and well, although he looked half-dead, but his condition had not worsened.
It took a full quarter of an hour to feed the emperor a bowl of Chinese medicine.
The emperor was originally just pale, and after drinking the bowl of medicine, his face was distorted in his coma.
Sang Jueqian reasonably suspected that if this continued, he would probably die of misery before the poison took effect.
Sang Jueqian was watching the show with great interest when she heard the prince suddenly mention her.
"Third brother, the goddess is so powerful that she can even cure the epidemic. Can't she just save father?
You are so familiar with the goddess, but you have never thought of asking her for help?"
The prince became more and more distressed as he spoke, as if Li Junyan had done something unforgivable.
Li Junyan was not angry at the prince's words. He just looked at him calmly and said, "Goddess, don't worry about this."
The prince frowned, "What? Third brother, what did you say?"
"I said, the goddess won't care about these things. It's useless to ask the goddess for help. This is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster."
The prince looked at Li Junyan in confusion, "Third brother, do you know what you are talking about?
"Father may be the Son of Heaven, the emperor of the world, but now he is being plotted against by a villain and is in imminent danger. Why doesn't the goddess do anything?"
“You’ve already said that this is a human emperor. Dynasties will change, and people will die. The goddess will not care about these things.
Could it be that the prince hopes the goddess will grant someone immortality and rule the country for eternity?
The prince was speechless for a moment.
Of course he doesn't want to.
If the emperor is truly immortal and remains the emperor forever, then wouldn't he, the prince, never be able to succeed to the throne?
How is this possible?
The prince pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.
At this moment, the emperor woke up.
"The emperor has woken up!" The judge's voice was surprised, but he didn't dare to speak too loudly for fear of disturbing the emperor.
When the prince heard this, complex emotions flashed in his eyes.
But the moment he turned around, all the complicated emotions in his eyes disappeared.
The prince rushed to the dragon bed and knelt down, looking at the emperor with tears in his eyes, "Father, you are finally awake."
The emperor's eyes became increasingly cloudy, and it seemed as if he could not open them.
After staring at the prince for a while, the emperor looked at Li Junyan and said with great difficulty, "Chen...Chen Prince, stay...stay. The prince...get...out!"
When these words were spoken, the prince was dumbfounded.
Everyone else in the room was also dumbfounded.
Isn’t the prince the one the emperor trusts?
Wasn't he wary of Prince Chen before, and even wanted to kill him?
Why at this time, let the Crown Prince go out and let Prince Chen stay?
The prince looked at the emperor in disbelief, "Father, I am truly worried about you. Please let your son stay and take good care of you!"
The emperor's eyes widened. "Get out!"
Although the two words were not very coherent, they were loud and powerful.
No matter how unwilling the prince was, he could only get up from the ground and walk out, looking back every few steps.
The emperor seemed to have no strength to speak anymore. He waved to the others, signaling them to leave.
In the blink of an eye, the only ones left were the lying emperor and Li Junyan standing.
The emperor looked at Li Junyan eagerly, "Le...Lezhi, come here."
Hearing these two words, Li Junyan's expression became complicated for a moment.
He had also forgotten how long it had been since the old emperor called him like that.
After hesitating for a moment, Li Junyan walked over and stood beside the dragon bed.
The old emperor raised his hand with difficulty, trying to grab Li Junyan's hand, but Li Junyan did not move. He did not have enough strength, so naturally he did not succeed.
Just this one action consumed all the old emperor's physical strength.
His hands dropped to the bed, and he was breathing heavily.
The sound of his heavy breathing echoed throughout the room.
It was unknown how long it took, but the emperor finally calmed down. Although his voice became softer, it was much more coherent.
"Third brother, the prince wants to kill the king. Now the only person I can trust is you."
Sang Jueqian's pupils trembled. Does this old emperor know what he is saying?
But when he looked at Li Junyan, he saw that Li Junyan had a calm expression, as if he was not surprised at all by these words.
