Chapter 258 Fainting Again
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Master committed suicide in the Imperial Prison, leaving this blood letter——"
The voice rose up, like a thunderbolt striking directly into the depressing and silent imperial study.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Sheng slowly raised his head. His eyes were filled with surprise at first, and then in an instant, it seemed as if thousands of tiny needles were piercing his brain.
The roar was incessant, drowning out all the sounds around him, so much so that he didn't even hear the last half of the sentence -
"Fortunately, the jailer found him in time, and the Imperial Master is still alive. Your Majesty, please make the decision!"
Emperor Sheng supported the table with his hands. He felt pain and dizziness coming from nowhere, and the acid in his stomach kept rising, making him feel like vomiting.
teacher......
He has not yet pursued the teacher's crime of plotting treason, how dare the teacher commit suicide out of fear of punishment!
He hasn't asked the teacher in person why he treated him like this!
The teacher...left too.
That person who was on the grass, beside the charcoal basin, beside the table and chairs, and who was touching his head with a smile...
They all left.
Commit suicide, teacher, you don't want to see me until you die...
Emperor Sheng looked out blankly, but the scene before him was like a disrupted chess game, with the world spinning around.
The imperial study, which was originally clearly visible, now seemed to be rubbed wantonly by a pair of invisible hands. The walls, beams, pillars, and objects were all dancing wildly. Between the interweaving of light and shadow, everything turned into chaotic blocks of color, spinning wantonly before his eyes.
Falling, cold, and dark.
The last thing that whistled into my ears was Fushun's almost distorted cry: "Your Majesty!"
Eunuch Fushun crawled into the imperial study, his face full of fear and panic.
The imperial teacher asked him to send a message to the imperial prison in due time, saying that there was a way to resolve the current deadlock.
He respected and trusted the imperial teacher, and did not want to see the emperor and his son killing each other, leading to an irreversible situation, so he ordered his confidant to pass the news to the imperial prison.
He...he didn't expect that the Imperial Master would break the impasse at the cost of his life!
His Majesty has suffered many blows today, and he knows best that the Imperial Preceptor is different to him than to others.
Half a year ago, the emperor was worried that the imperial tutor might be in collusion with the eldest princess, so he stayed awake all night and tossed and turned for days.
When Fu Shun's thoughts reached this point, he saw that behind the imperial desk, Emperor Sheng had his eyes closed, and without any warning, he fell straight back.
At this moment, Fu Shun's pupils were filled with horror. Due to extreme fear, the muscles on his face twitched uncontrollably, and he screamed out in shock:
"Your Majesty!"
Outside the palace, the commander of the Imperial Guards, Wen Chengye, heard the noise and almost flew over, but... it was too late.
Emperor Sheng fell backwards like a puppet with its strings cut, with his entire back hitting the magnificent dragon throne.
Bang--
After a terrifying roar, Emperor Sheng's body rolled to the ground like a collapsing mountain.
Everything happened in a flash, so fast that people didn't even have time to blink.
Wen Chengye finally arrived, stretched out his hand and helped Emperor Sheng up. As soon as his eyes fell on Emperor Sheng's face, his expression suddenly changed and he shouted:
"Imperial Physician! Imperial Physician!"
The three imperial doctors outside the palace finally came to their senses from the sudden change.
They subconsciously opened their mouths to shout, but it was as if something was strangling their throats. They only uttered a few weak sounds, and then rushed into the hall with pale faces and staggering steps.
In an instant, shouts came one after another, and the sounds of messy footsteps intertwined into one.
The imperial study, which used to be majestic and solemn, was now completely drowned in noise and chaos.
Amid the chaos in the hall, only Jiang Xun stood still, looking so out of place.
"Your Majesty!"
As Fu Shun and Wen Chengye shouted, the imperial doctors in the side hall rushed over upon hearing the news.
There was a man walking at the end carrying a medical box. Just as he felt that something bad might happen today, a hand suddenly came from the side and grabbed his arm tightly.
The imperial physician turned his head away in panic. He was stunned for a moment and called out uncertainly, "Master Jiang...Master Jiang?"
Jiang Xun's face was so pale that there was not a trace of blood. His brows and eyes, which were usually stern and imposing, could not hide his sadness and panic at this moment. He was like a completely different person.
Jiang Xun opened his mouth, his lips trembling slightly, and his voice was low and hurried: "Imperial Physician Zhang, the Emperor's teacher is on the verge of death in the imperial prison, you come with me and rescue him immediately!"
Upon hearing this, Imperial Physician Zhang's face changed color. He looked at Emperor Sheng who was surrounded by people in front of him, but he hesitated and did not dare to leave.
He...he didn't hear the emperor's order.
However, Jiang Xun did not give Imperial Physician Zhang a chance to refuse. Before he finished speaking, he had already pulled the man out and said in a hoarse voice:
"His Majesty suddenly heard the news of the Imperial Master's death and fainted in grief. Once he wakes up, he will definitely ask about the Imperial Master's safety first."
"If Imperial Physician Zhang can save the Imperial Master from desperate situation today, he will be credited with the greatest achievement!"
Imperial Physician Zhang didn't know where Jiang Xun got the strength from, but his hands were like iron clamps, pulling him out irresistibly.
He subconsciously looked back, only to see that the palace was crowded with imperial doctors, and it was indeed difficult for him to display his skills here.
After weighing the pros and cons, Imperial Physician Zhang made up his mind and quickened his pace, shouting anxiously:
"Master Jiang, please let go of me. I will follow you wherever you want!"
As he left the hall, Jiang Xun took a deep breath, his face as cold and majestic as if frozen in the cold night.
His eyes were as bright as lightning, he stared directly at the imperial guards outside the palace, and shouted in a low voice:
"Before His Majesty fainted, he ordered that we quickly invite the Crown Princess and His Royal Highness the Grandson to come. There must be no mistakes!"
When the Imperial Guards heard this, they were stunned at first, but in a flash, they were moved by Jiang Xun's reputation and the emperor's favor, and they obeyed the order without hesitation.
After all, other people don’t know what a whetstone or a touchstone is. They only know that among all the civil and military officials in the court, Jiang Xun is the most trusted and valued minister of Emperor Sheng.
Jiang Xun did not stop and walked quickly outside with Imperial Physician Zhang. When they passed by Shen Zhengsheng and his group, he naturally saw the devastated Shen Jiasui.
However, at this moment, he could not spare a moment, and could only endure the torment in his heart and hurriedly tell Shen Zhengsheng a few words at the fastest speed.
Shen Zhengsheng looked dignified and nodded solemnly.
Jiang Xun's gaze swept over Shen Jiasui one last time, filled with guilt and reluctance, and then he rushed to the imperial prison like a meteor chasing the moon.
.......
Whoosh whoosh——
Shen Jiasui had already come back to his senses. He suppressed all his worries and walked as fast as the wind on the palace road.
As the sun sets, the palace walls on both sides stand majestically, casting dark shadows, as if they have been watching the changes in power in the world with cold eyes for a long time.
Shen Jiasui's shadow was stretched out long on the mottled stone slabs of the palace road, as if it would be swallowed up by the huge shadow cast by the palace wall at any time.
But she did not hesitate at all, her thin lips were tightly pursed, and her bright eyes were full of determination and courage, and she suppressed all fear.
This palace road has carried the ambitions of emperors throughout the ages and witnessed the ups and downs of countless court officials.
Now, she, Shen Jiasui, is rushing along it, in order to take a dangerous path in this corridor full of historical sediments to change her destiny and turn the world around!
If successful, the history of the Sheng Dynasty will be rewritten from today!
