Chapter 1981 Imperial Concubine——Sinanyan!
Wu Yingqiu groaned inwardly, but could only force himself to say, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern."
Nan Yan said softly, "Duke, please don't be polite to me."
"There, old minister—"
"Besides,"
Nan Yan didn't wait for the dying man to finish his words, and interrupted him, saying, "The Emperor has already issued an order to return to the capital soon. How can the Duke set off when he is so ill?"
“…”
"This matter must be thoroughly investigated."
Hearing her say this, Wu Yingqiu groaned inwardly, but he could only force a smile on his face and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am old and naturally have some ailments, but this time it really won't be a problem."
“…”
"This old minister can return to the capital with the emperor and will not be affected."
Zhu Feng looked at him and said, "Really?"
“…”
"Please don't push yourself too hard, Duke."
"No force, no force."
Although Wu Yingqiu said this, his face was full of forced smiles. He forced himself to say, "This is really just my old age and illness. It's nothing serious. Your Majesty, please don't take it seriously. If you send someone to investigate and alarm everyone, it will be my fault."
After hearing him say this, Nan Yan sighed softly.
With a look of regret, she said, "I am also worried about the Duke's health."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
As he said this, Wu Yingqiu gritted his teeth and forced himself to stand. Wu Mian beside him hurriedly supported him. He struggled to get out of bed and knelt on the ground in front of Zhu Feng and Nan Yan, kowtowed repeatedly: "This old minister thanks the emperor and the noble concubine for their grace and favor."
Zhu Feng then said, "Why are you doing this, Duke? Hurry up and get up."
Then he said to Wu Mian, "Help him up quickly."
Wu Mian hurriedly helped Wu Yingqiu, who had been vomiting and unable to eat for the past few days, and was so thin that he was almost skin and bones, and had no strength at all, to lie back on the bed. However, this movement made him breathless again, and a continuous feeling of nausea surged in his heart, and he almost retched.
But in order not to lose his composure in front of the emperor and the imperial concubine, he could only grit his teeth and hold on.
Even the tip of my tongue was bitten and bleeding.
For such an old man, this ordeal almost cost him half his life.
Nan Yan then said, "If that's the case, then the Duke should take a good rest and recuperate. After all, the Emperor has already issued an order to depart in two days."
“…”
"I hope to travel with the Duke."
“…”
"If the Duke is unwell, I won't be able to rest easy."
"Yes, yes."
After she finished her concern, she turned to look at Zhu Feng. Zhu Feng said calmly, "Alright, Duke, take good care of your health. Ask the people around you to prepare. We will set off in two days."
"yes."
After saying that, the two turned and left. Wu Yingqiu still forced himself to stand up: "Old minister, I respectfully bid farewell to the emperor and the imperial concubine..."
As soon as the two of them left the room, he fell back onto the bed like a puppet with its strings cut.
His face was pale and he was sweating profusely.
The previous illness had already taken away half of his life, and after this ordeal, even the remaining half of his life was worn away a lot.
Seeing him like this, Wu Mian was also frightened. He quickly asked someone to bring up some medicine and said, "Uncle, uncle, what's wrong with you?"
“…”
"You're already so sick, and you still have to make a long journey back to Beijing. This is fatal!"
Wu Yingqiu almost didn't have the strength to breathe.
He gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Noble Concubine - Sinanyan!"
