Chapter 257: Urgent
At this time, Jiang Xun's attention was completely focused on Emperor Sheng.
A handwritten letter from His Highness?
His Majesty shed tears, which shows that the letter was undoubtedly written by His Highness during his lifetime.
The Crown Princess and Ye Er arrived at such a timely moment, but he had not planned today——
Jiang Xun's mind raced and he reacted quickly.
Yes...years old.
After all, he made Sui Sui worry and bother.
At the same time, a heat rose from the bottom of his heart, and his whole body felt warm.
How lucky he is that there are so many people who care about him.
Moreover, he had no doubt that the letter presented by the Crown Princess might have been written by His Highness in anticipation of such a day, so he had prepared for it in order to find a way out for him.
Your Highness...
"Ah Xun, you say, I'm a little lazy today, is that okay?"
"Ah Xun, I feel happy when I see Miss Xi. Is this what you call a sweetheart?"
"Ah Xun, you are not a child anymore, it's time to find a lover."
"Huaxia? Haha, Ah Xun, you are talking nonsense again! You must be fooling me, right?"
"Ah Xun, I believe in you. I always believe in you."
"Ah Xun, can I...can I entrust Ye'er to you?"
"Ah Xun, I really have no way to repay you for your kindness."
.......
Your Highness, please don’t talk about favors between you and me.
Your Highness's frankness and loyalty have helped me, a person from another world, find a place to stay in the chaos.
I only blame the heavens for treating you so badly, and I hate the unpredictable human heart, which has separated you and me from each other by the Yin and Yang, and we can no longer drink and chat happily together.
Jiang Xun was lost in thought, with sadness filling his drooping brows, when he suddenly felt someone gently tugging at his sleeve.
"Why are you here, sir?"
Zhao Yuanye walked over at some point, raised his head and looked at Jiang Xun. His childish eyes and brows clearly showed the look of an old friend.
He had deliberately lowered his voice, but the imperial study was so quiet that everyone in the palace could still hear it.
Jiang Xun's expression was unable to conceal his emotion. He leaned down slightly and asked in a gentle voice, "Your Highness, have you studied hard these days?"
Zhao Yuanye's face fell when he heard this, and he muttered aggrievedly, "How can you be like me, the teacher, asking about homework as soon as we meet?"
There were still tears in Emperor Sheng's eyes, and he looked over when he heard the voice.
In the blurred vision, I could vaguely see a big person and a small person standing at the junction of light and darkness. The setting sun was dim under their feet, enveloping them both in a deep warmth.
Emperor Sheng slowly stood up and opened his mouth. The word "Ji'er" lingered on his lips for a long time, and finally turned into a faint sigh and stopped at his lips.
He knew that the person standing in front of him with Ye'er was Jiang Xun.
He was just moved by the scene and couldn't help thinking that if Ji'er were still alive, the scene of a loving father and a filial son would be like the one before him.
Yu Jier, he couldn't deny that...it was his fault.
When Emperor Sheng's thoughts reached this point, it was as if all his muscles and bones were pulled out. He lost his strength in an instant, and his body swayed before he fell back heavily.
Over the years, he told himself countless times in his heart that Ji'er left with a heart full of resentment and endless hatred towards him.
Such abnormal self-comfort seemed to bring him a little relief and alleviate some of his guilt.
But...in the last letter left by Ji'er, the whole paper was filled with sincere prayers for him, the father, earnestly and full of affection.
It was as if Ji'er's admiring heart, as bright as the moon, was still as vivid as ever on the letter paper.
His self-deceiving disguise was torn to pieces at this moment.
The guilt, guilty conscience, and regret that had been suppressed for years came flooding back and almost overwhelmed him.
"Father, the letter has been presented to you. I will take my leave now."
In the imperial study, the Crown Princess's respectful voice was heard, and then she waved to Zhao Yuanye.
Zhao Yuanye seemed reluctant to leave. He turned his head to look at Emperor Sheng, then looked up at Jiang Xun, and finally said respectfully:
"Grandpa Emperor, your grandson will take his leave."
"Sir, after the wedding, don't forget to come and teach Ye'er."
He added this to Jiang Xun in a low voice before walking towards his mother.
The Crown Princess took Zhao Yuanye and turned around and left the imperial study.
Before coming, she wanted to use a letter to plead for Lord Jiang.
But her father was now very emotional and had cried several times. If she said any more, it would be too much.
Outside the palace, the afterglow was shining brightly. The Crown Princess felt a pang of bitterness welling up in her eyes, and the sadness in her heart was like weeds growing wildly, almost bursting her heart.
Aji, I think this is the best time for your suicide note to appear.
I hope I didn't disappoint you.
As for the person behind me, I hate and resent him. When I see his tears, I just feel sick and hypocritical.
When the time is right, I will do something.
He should chew the bitter fruit alone in endless disappointment and regret, and every time he thinks of this for the rest of his life, he will feel as if his heart is being torn by a knife and he will be in unbearable pain!
If he doesn't have this conscience, what if I hold the blade?
The tears were forced back, the sadness in the Crown Princess' eyes gradually faded, and she walked firmly onto the palace road covered with sunset.
Zhao Yuanye walked beside the Crown Princess, and when he stepped out of the palace, his hands were clenched tightly under his sleeves.
He understands, he understands everything.
He only regretted that he was too young to protect his teacher and could not respond to the sincerity of the good ministers outside the palace.
The Emperor will never understand how important the teacher is to him.
If today, the letter from his father still cannot change the emperor's decision, he will not turn a blind eye or sit idly by.
Even if this is something the gentleman does not want to see, he must fight in front of the Emperor!
Grow up quickly, quickly...grow up.
......
With the departure of the Crown Princess and His Royal Highness the Grandson, the Imperial Study fell into silence again.
Emperor Sheng held tightly in his hand the letter left by Prince Xianhuai, his heart was filled with turmoil and his eyes were fixed on Jiang Xun.
"Best friends of life and death", what a solemn word.
Ji'er is... asking him to spare Jiang Xun's life no matter what.
But Jiang Xun, can you stay?
Emperor Sheng wanted to say something, but he had not had time to rest after fainting from anger, and his emotions had fluctuated violently several times, and now he felt his throat was extremely dry.
He raised his finger and knocked on the imperial desk. Just as he was about to call Fu Shun in to serve him, three imperial doctors appeared at the open door of the palace.
"Your Majesty."
Emperor Sheng's heart suddenly tightened, and he hurriedly exerted his strength and asked in a hoarse voice, "How is the second brother?"
The leading doctor, Liu, lowered his head and glanced at his two colleagues beside him. When their eyes met, they heard Liu's panicked response:
"Your Majesty, the prince may have... damaged heart vessels."
"What!?"
Emperor Sheng stood up suddenly, feeling dizzy, but he quickly supported the table and stood up, gritting his teeth and said, "Explain clearly!"
Liu, the imperial physician, had cold sweat on his forehead and spoke quickly, "Your Majesty, the prince's breathing is weak and disordered, and his pulse is weak and sluggish. It is obvious that the heart meridian has been injured and the qi and blood are flowing backwards, causing stagnation and obstruction."
"Your Highness is now experiencing unbearable chest pains, and has difficulty breathing, and is dizzy from time to time. Although we have tried our best to help, the injury to his heart cannot be healed overnight."
"However, Your Majesty is blessed with good fortune. As long as you take good care of yourself, you will be healthy again in time and show your heroic spirit again."
Emperor Sheng was stunned and fell silent for a moment.
He never imagined that his random kick in anger would cause Zhao Huailang to be so seriously injured.
The eldest son died, the second son was injured, and the third son was confined to his house.
He had three sons, but...he didn't keep any of them?
Emperor Sheng suddenly felt a bone-chilling feeling of powerlessness rushing from the soles of his feet to his heart, and a sense of emptiness and confusion appeared in his eyes.
At this moment, he couldn't help but think of the past when he had carefully planned and fought for victory in the thrilling and dangerous battle for the throne, and finally took the coveted throne into his arms.
At that time, he was overlooking the mountains and rivers with great ambitions, but why now, there is only emptiness and loneliness in his heart?
Deserted by everyone....... Deserted by everyone.......
Emperor Sheng's ears were filled with Zhao Huailang's crazy roars. His face turned pale and blue, and his body was shaking.
The imperial doctors were filled with fear, with their brows lowered, and they were kneeling outside the imperial study, so they did not notice anything unusual about Emperor Sheng.
Eunuch Fushun was standing at the entrance of the palace. At the moment, his mind was distracted by something and he kept looking towards the end of the palace road. Since he was not summoned by Emperor Sheng, he did not enter the palace.
Only Jiang Xun, who was standing in the hall at this moment, took in the emperor's expression and vaguely realized something.
However, he did not warn her, nor did he...go forward to comfort her.
Just at this moment, Eunuch Fushun's eyes widened, as if he saw something.
Here we come!
At the end of the palace road, a royal guard was walking towards this side quickly, holding something in his hand!
Ta-ta-ta——
Shen Jiasui and others turned their heads and saw the Imperial Guards marching so fast on the palace road, and their faces changed slightly.
I’m afraid it’s something extremely urgent!
Shen Zhengsheng and others were still calm, but Shen Jiasui was worried.
She knew Axun's next plan, and she would not let it cause the Imperial Guards to lose their composure like this.
Could it be that something else went wrong?
As Shen Jiasui was thinking, he saw the imperial guard kneeling behind the three imperial doctors, saying quickly:
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Master committed suicide in the Imperial Prison, leaving this blood letter——"
Buzz——
Shen Jiasui froze in place, his mind went blank, his ears were buzzing, and everything around him became blurry and distant.
She stared blankly into the distance, her lips trembling slightly, trying to say something, but only broken breath escaped.
Just as she felt herself falling downwards, someone suddenly held her tightly.
Shen Jiasui looked up blankly, and all he saw was his father's lips opening and closing several times, but the sound seemed to come from across the water.
Until the pain in her arm gradually brought her back to her senses and the sound in her ears gradually became louder and deeper, and then slowly became clearer.
"Alive - still alive - years old - the Imperial Master is still alive -"
Shen Jiasui took a long breath, like a drowning man struggling to the surface, and finally found some of his own voice.
"Daddy, the teacher—"
Shen Zhengsheng's face was pale at this moment, and he quickly responded: "The Imperial Guards said that they found him in time and he is still breathing!"
"The emperor has also fainted, and the imperial physician has entered the palace. Xiuzhi cannot stay here, so he has rushed to the imperial prison and asked someone to urgently summon the Crown Princess and His Royal Highness the Grandson back!"
Shen Jiasui's body was still shaking uncontrollably, but Shen Zhengsheng's words reached her ears one by one and entered her heart.
She suddenly raised her head and stared at her father, her breathing rapid and her mouth dry.
"father--"
It seems like there are some unfinished words that I cannot express aloud.
Shen Zhengsheng's brows were gloomy, and he nodded heavily at this moment.
Shen Jiasui stood up slowly, still feeling a faint pain in her chest. The tragic news of her teacher's suicide almost took away her heart.
But now, the storm is about to come, and it is an important moment to "change the world"!
Daddy specifically mentioned to her that Axun "could not stay" and that the Crown Princess and His Royal Highness the Grandson were on their way here. She knew what was going on, knew what was going on...
The next moment, Shen Jiasui squeezed his father's hand tightly, and then took a step forward, and while everyone was busy and panicked, he chased in the direction where the Crown Princess had just left!
