Hearing the news, Tang Yu immediately put down his chopsticks when he heard hurried footsteps outside the hall.
Then he skillfully half-leaned on the couch and closed his eyes. Even the angle of tilting his head was carefully designed.
So when Liu Ziqing and Huo Cenji pushed the door open, they saw this scene—
Tang Yu, dressed in a dark blue shirt, looked even thinner. His black hair was loose but fell obediently in front of him. However, a hint of fatigue appeared in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, as if he could no longer bear the torment of illness, and there was a slight sense of depression in his fatigue.
Huo Cenji's heart tightened, and he could no longer remain calm. Instead, he took a step forward and called out softly:
"Tang Yu..."
Tang Yu: This voice sounds familiar, no! This voice is Huo Cenji!
So he slowly opened his eyes, his trembling eyelashes retracted, revealing the confusion and surprise in his eyes, and smiled weakly:
“You’re here…”
Seeing such a pitiful scene, Huo Cenji could no longer remain as hard-hearted as iron.
So he frowned slightly, but his tone was concerned:
"If your Majesty is feeling uncomfortable, there is no need to force yourself to speak. Let Liu Ziqing take a look first."
So, driven by Huo Cenji's glance, Liu Ziqing trotted over to Tang Yu with his medicine box, half-knelt, and said politely:
"Your Majesty, please extend your hand."
Tang Yu cooperated very well.
With the Regent personally watching, Liu Ziqing dared not take it lightly no matter what. He frowned and carefully took Tang Yu's pulse.
Hiss... How could it become so serious overnight?
It was clearly not like this when he diagnosed it before!
The disease spread, and the internal organs began to fail, just like a flower that was well cared for and plentiful nutrients to bloom beautifully, but suddenly showed signs of decay overnight.
Why is this?
After thinking about it over and over again, Liu Ziqing still couldn't figure it out.
Finally, after hesitating for a moment, he asked:
"Your Majesty, have you taken the pills on time since returning to the palace?"
Logically speaking, the emperor's body was nourished by the long-term effects of the medicine, so it wouldn't be a problem if he didn't take the medicine for a while. But now this situation had occurred, which only showed that his research on the medicine was not detailed enough and he had overlooked this point.
If the little emperor had been deprived of this medicine since the day he was abducted, then there would be a reason for his current state of decline.
However, if the little emperor took the medicine as usual after returning to the palace, but was unable to make up for the loss of those dozens of days in a short period of time, it could only mean one thing -
This medicine is more important to the little emperor than he thought.
In other words, if the little emperor doesn't take the medicine for one day, his health will get worse day by day.
If the medicine cannot be prepared in time and the pills are used up, the little emperor will have no choice but to wait for death.
Liu Ziqing's heart sank, and he didn't dare to think about what would happen if His Royal Highness the Regent knew about it.
He is not yet sure that he can prepare exactly the same pill.
Before Tang Yu could speak, the young attendant immediately replied anxiously:
"Your Majesty hasn't taken any medicine since returning to the palace! He said that it would be fine if he didn't take it for a while, so I didn't remind him."
"It's nothing. Just let His Majesty take the medicine on time from now on."
Liu Ziqing glanced at Huo Cenji, and saw Huo Cenji gave him a look, and then he understood and said the above words.
Although I don't know whether the little emperor knows the hidden truth, I will still follow His Highness's wishes and speak with restraint.
After saying this, Tang Yu lowered his eyes, and his expression remained indifferent.
The young attendant finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
Take medicine on time, take medicine on time... He would never dare to forget it again.
But… a muffled thunder sounded in the young attendant’s head, and his face turned pale in an instant—
"But, but Your Majesty only has enough medicine for this year..."
The voice as thin as a mosquito's hum still reached Huo Cenji's ears word for word. Huo Cenji felt as if his heart was suddenly grabbed by someone, and the sore and swollen feeling was like the endless plum rain in summer, without a trace of hope.
His voice was hoarse, and he moved his lips several times before he could utter a complete sentence:
"That medicine... is only enough for one year?"
So what should Tang Yu do next?
It's only been a dozen days now, and Tang Yu's body has become like this. What if it's half a month? Half a year?
Can Tang Yu hold on?
Huo Cenji didn't dare to think about it.
His gaze slowly fell on Tang Yu, with complex and obscure emotions rolling in his eyes.
And Tang Yu's expression didn't even change at all. Could it be... could it be that he had known this would happen?
If not, if he didn't know that Tang Yu's body couldn't take it, he would definitely go up and grab Tang Yu's clothes to ask!
Why aren’t you surprised or shocked at all now!
Why don’t you just tell me and let me think of a solution?
Could it be...
Don't you really want to live anymore?
Huo Cenji turned around abruptly, fearing that if he looked for another second he would lose control of himself.
"Walk!"
Huo Cenji's cold voice sounded, signaling Liu Ziqing to leave with him.
But at this time, Tang Yu, who had been silent all the time, spoke to keep him:
"Prince Regent, I have something to say to you."
Oh! What are you talking about?! What is there to say?
Is it possible that I still need to say a few "last words" to him?
If that's the case, he doesn't want to hear a word!
"It won't take up too much of your time, Regent."
Tang Yu's tone softened after hearing this, as if he was afraid that he would not stay.
Haha, it’s indeed different when I ask him for help.
then--
Huo Cenji turned around and stared at Tang Yu closely:
