In Pleasing Inn, the Emperor of Xiliang's condition had not improved at all. On top of the bumpiness on the way here, he had a very bad omen. He was often in a coma, and in these few days, he had been unconscious for even longer periods of time. Every day, he could only wake up for a few hours and was completely unconscious.
The Xiliang's imperial physician, who was hiding at the side of the bedside and treating the emperor's illness, frowned as she stood aside with a helpless look on her face.
After a long while, the imperial physician slowly retracted his hand and sighed softly.
Seeing that, Xiu Yu quickly rushed over, and pulled the imperial physician's sleeves, asking him anxiously: "Imperial Physician, how is the emperor's condition?"
The imperial physician looked at Xiu Yu's expectant gaze and shook his head with a face full of worry. He then saluted to Xiu Yu and said, "Young Prince, the emperor's health has always been poor. This subject had previously advised you not to travel so far just to make him travel a thousand miles just for fear of any accidents.
After a moment of silence, he raised his head and looked at the imperial physician. With a solemn expression, he asked, "Now that the emperor's condition has worsened, I hope the imperial physician can think of a way to help the emperor through this difficult situation."
When the Emperor of Xiliang left the capital, they were the ones who helped the Emperor. If the Emperor of Xiliang died here, none of them would be able to escape.
Xiu Yu anxiously walked around the house, his eyebrows knitted tightly, forming the word "Chuan".
The imperial physician hesitated for a moment, then bowed towards Xiu Yu and said, "Young Prince, the Emperor is very ill right now. According to this humble subject, we should first bring the Emperor back to the Xiliang, before we discuss further."
"But Jin Country …" Hearing the imperial physician's words, Xiu Yu thought for a while, then shook his head, "We have only been in the Jin Country for two days, if we leave quickly like this, I'm afraid that the Jin Country will suspect us. If they find traces of the emperor, they would threaten us using that as a threat, and we would be on the defensive."
"Young Prince." Xiu Yu rejected him vehemently from the side. The imperial physician glanced at him and spoke to him anxiously, "This is an extremely important matter, if we were to continue staying in the Jin Country and the life of the Emperor cannot be preserved, all of us cannot bear this responsibility."
The imperial physician's words were like a loud shout, causing Xiu Yu to be unable to say a single word.
It was as the imperial physician had said, once something happened to the Emperor of Xiliang, none of them would be able to shoulder this responsibility.
Xiu Yu was silent, the expression on his face became even more complex.
"Young Prince, hurry up and make your decision. If you delay any longer, it will be too late." Seeing that Xiu Yu was unwilling to speak, the imperial physician urged Xiu Yu on by the side.
"Alright!" Xiu Yu clenched his teeth, and nodded to the imperial physician. " No matter what, the Emperor's safety is the most important, if Crown Prince Xiu Heng discovers this matter, then we will be in for a ride. "
Xiu Yu made a prompt decision, walked to the side of the table and grinded it, then said: "I will write a letter to the Thirteenth Princess, telling her that I have an urgent condition and can't continue staying in the Jin Country to send messengers, and will return to the Xiliang immediately. I will have to trouble Imperial Doctor to prescribe a medicine for me. After taking it, I will look like I am terminally ill, to be able to hide it from the eyes of the Thirteenth Princess. "
"This humble subject obeys the decree." The imperial physician bowed to Xiu Yu and went down to prepare a prescription for Xiu Yu.
It was only noon when Xiu Yu's letter reached Red Luan Courtyard.
"Princess, this is a letter that Xiliang, Young Prince, has written for you. You must personally read it." Xiao Yang said as he handed over the letter.
Duan Yunfei was sitting in the Side of table, deducing military strategies. Hearing Xiao Yang's words, she could not help but feel suspicious. As she received the letter from Xiao Yang, she asked her: "Who sent this?"
"He looks like an envoy. He only said that he was entrusted by Young Prince Xiu Yu to pass this letter to you. He did not say anything else." Xiao Yang recalled it and nodded to Duan Yunfei.
Duan Yunfei carefully opened the letter and read the contents, then understood what Xiu Yu meant.
"What's wrong?" Seeing the complex expression on Duan Yunfei's face, and not knowing what had happened, Xiao Yang hurriedly asked her.
Duan Yunfei was in a daze at the side, completely not hearing Xiao Yang's words. She only looked outside the window, and only after a long while did she mutter to herself, "So that's how it is."
"Princess, what happened?" Seeing that Duan Yunfei did not react, Xiao Yang reached out his hand to shake Duan Yunfei's shoulder, "Did something happen in West Leung Mission?"
"Duan Yunfei finally regained her senses, and smiled as sheshehook her head. No, it's just that Young Prince of the Xiliang said that she suffered from Regeneration, and once she is sick, he might not be able to continue sending envoys to the Jin Country. She has to return home now, but she doesn't know how to say her goodbyes, so she wrote me a farewell letter, hoping that I could explain this matter clearly to royal father. "
"Huh?" Xiao Yang cried out in surprise after hearing it, and his heart couldn't help but tremble for a moment.
Xiao Yang glanced at it lightly, and revealed a look of disdain. Yesterday, I saw that the Xiliang was still alive and kicking, but today, I ended up getting sick. "
Duan Yunfei kept the letter in her hand. After hearing what Xiao Yang said, he could not help but chuckle softly. "I'm afraid that when he falls ill, even if he isn't sick, she won't be able to do anything."
Xiao Yang pulled at his hair, not knowing what he was actually saying.
She walked up to Duan Yunfei and gently tugged at her sleeves, before carefully asking: "Princess, this West Leung Mission suddenly said she wanted to send a mission to our Jin Country, and she rushed over before we could react. Now that they said they wanted to leave, they left in a hurry. It can't be a trick, right? "
Right after Xiao Yang finished speaking, Duan Yunfei turned her head to look at her meaningfully for a long time. Xiao Yang, as an ancient man who had been separated for three days, naturally had a whole new level of respect for him. You have been by my side all day, but I did not realize that you have progressed so fast. I can already guess Xiliang's intentions. "
"Princess, you're teasing me again." Xiao Yang was naturally only joking with her. He didn't forget to make a face at her when he lowered his head.
Only then did Duan Yunfei come to her senses, she extended her hand and gently poked Xiao Yang on the forehead, then laughed and said to Xiao Yang: "Little girl, you are really getting smarter."
