Chapter 769: The Deadline is Approaching (Update 1)
Xiao Chengqi frowned, "Now?"
It was already dark, why would the palace summon him at this time?
The visitor saw Chen Yanchuan there and immediately said, "Prince Dingbei, please come with us!"
Chen Yanchuan's heart moved, and he looked at Xiao Chengqi.
Both of them had a bad feeling in their hearts.
At this time, it is still so urgent, I am afraid...
Xiao Chengqi stood up immediately.
"Walk!"
…
Night falls.
Xiao Chenglin sat by the window, looking at the gradually darkening night with an expressionless face.
Perhaps because it rained earlier, the night sky is dotted with many stars, twinkling brightly.
It was quiet all around.
But Xiao Chenglin knew that Prince Jing's Mansion was already surrounded by enemies.
I wonder how many pairs of eyes are watching his every move, openly or secretly!
"Your Highness, you have been tired all day. You should rest early." The man behind him advised carefully.
Xiao Chenglin said, "No rush."
Tonight's night...is still long.
…
Chen Yanchuan and Xiao Chengqi galloped on their horses, rushing all the way and entering the palace as quickly as possible.
As soon as they arrived at the Qiyuan Hall, they noticed that the atmosphere was completely different from usual.
It looks particularly solemn and dignified.
Eunuch Li had been waiting for a long time. When he saw them coming, he hurried over to greet them.
"Your Highness, Prince Lie! You are finally here! His Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time. Please come in!"
Xiao Chengqi became more and more certain of his guess and quickened his pace.
Soon, he saw Emperor Mu Wu lying on the dragon bed.
"Your son greets His Majesty, Father!"
Xiao Chengqi knelt down to salute, but soon realized something was wrong.
——Emperor Mu Wu did not respond at all.
He immediately looked at Eunuch Li.
"What happened to Father?"
Eunuch Li's voice finally revealed a hint of sob.
"Your Majesty, Prince Lie, His Majesty has been feeling unwell since dinner, and soon after, he discovered that he could no longer walk—"
Xiao Chengqi stood up immediately!
He hurried to the bedside and saw that Emperor Mu Wu's face was extremely pale. His lips moved slightly, but he could hardly make any sound.
His heart tightened.
"Father!"
Shen Yanchuan, who came with him, also realized something was wrong and immediately asked, "Where's the imperial physician?! Why hasn't he come yet?!"
Eunuch Li was about to cry, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty does not allow..."
Chen Yanchuan frowned.
Xiao Chengqi angrily shouted, "Ridiculous! How can you be so lazy when our father suddenly falls ill? Go immediately—"
At this time, a vague sound finally came from Emperor Mu Wu's throat.
"……No……"
Xiao Chengqi looked back immediately and held his hand tightly.
"Father! What's wrong with you?"
Emperor Mu Wu shook his head slightly.
“…No need…”
He knows his body best.
Xiao Chengqi couldn't help but say, "But, but—oh right! Second Miss Ye! If she comes, father will definitely be safe!"
Wasn’t it like this before?
Ye Chutang can cure the diseases that those people in the Imperial Hospital can’t treat!
Just then, hurried footsteps were heard outside again.
Chen Yanchuan turned around and saw that the person who came was Chen Songshi, who had rushed over immediately after hearing the summons.
It was obvious that he came in a hurry and was in a hurry. He didn't even have time to put on his official uniform.
As soon as Chen Songshi came in and saw this scene, he immediately understood and his face changed suddenly.
"His Majesty!"
Emperor Mu Wu took a breath, and speaking became difficult.
"You...you all kneel down...and obey my orders..."
"Father——"
Xiao Chengqi opened his mouth to speak, but gritted his teeth and knelt down.
Chen Yanchuan, Chen Songshi and others also knelt down in front of the dragon bed.
Emperor Mu Wu moved his fingers slightly, his chest heaving, but his breath was weak.
It seems like he is breathing in more than he is breathing out.
"I know... my time is almost up..."
