Hou Ye's palm heart is a black lotus

Chapter 769 My Time Is Approaching (First Update)
Xiao Chengqi frowned. "Now?"

It was already dark. Why would the palace summon him at this time?
Upon seeing Shen Yanchuan, the visitor immediately said, "Young Master Dingbei, please come along!"

Shen Yanchuan's heart stirred, and he met Xiao Chengqi's gaze.

Both of them had a bad feeling.

At this juncture, such urgency is... I'm afraid...

Xiao Chengqi immediately stood up.

"go!"

……

Night falls.

Xiao Chenglin sat by the window, expressionless as he watched the night gradually darken.

Perhaps because of the rain earlier, the night sky was dotted with many stars tonight, twinkling brightly.

All around was quiet.

But Xiao Chenglin knew that the Prince Jing's mansion was already heavily surrounded.

Countless eyes were watching his every move, both openly and secretly!
"Your Highness, you've had a long day, why don't you get some rest?" the man behind him advised cautiously.

Xiao Chenglin said, "No rush."

The night is still long.

……

Shen Yanchuan and Xiao Chengqi rode at breakneck speed, making their way into the palace at top speed.

Upon arriving at the Qiyuan Hall, the two immediately noticed that the atmosphere was quite different from usual.

It appeared exceptionally solemn and dignified.

When Eunuch Li saw them arrive, he quickly came forward to greet them.

"Your Highness! You've finally arrived! His Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time. Please come in!"

Xiao Chengqi became increasingly certain of his guess and quickened his pace.

Soon, he saw Emperor Muwu lying on the dragon bed.

"My son, I pay my respects to my father!"

Xiao Chengqi knelt down to pay his respects, but quickly realized something was wrong.

Emperor Muwu did not respond at all.

He immediately looked at Eunuch Li.

"What happened to Father?"

A sob finally escaped Li Gonggong's voice.

“Your Highness, His Majesty… He said he wasn’t feeling well after dinner, and soon after, he found he couldn’t walk anymore—” Xiao Chengqi immediately stood up!
He hurried to the bedside and saw that Emperor Mu Wu's face was extremely pale, his lips moved slightly, but he could barely make a sound.

His heart tightened.

"Father!"

Shen Yanchuan, who had come with him, also realized something was wrong and immediately asked, "Where is the imperial physician?! Why hasn't he arrived yet?!"

Eunuch Li was on the verge of tears, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty will not allow it..."

Shen Yanchuan's brow furrowed.

Xiao Chengqi angrily rebuked, "Absurd! Father has suddenly fallen ill, how can you all be so negligent?! Go immediately—"

At this moment, Emperor Muwu finally made a muffled sound from his throat.

"……No……"

Xiao Chengqi immediately looked back and gripped his hand tightly.

"Father! Are you feeling unwell?"

Emperor Muwu shook his head very slightly.

"...No need... anymore..."

He knows his body best.

Xiao Chengqi couldn't help but say, "But, but—that's right! Miss Ye! If she comes, Father will definitely be safe and sound!"

Wasn't it always like this?

Ye Chutang can cure diseases that even the Imperial Medical Academy can't cure!
Just then, hurried footsteps came from outside again.

Shen Yanchuan turned around and saw that the person who came was Chen Songshi, who had rushed over immediately upon hearing the summons.

It was clear he had come in a hurry, and he hadn't even had time to put on his official robes.

As soon as Chen Songshi entered and saw this scene, he immediately understood and his expression changed drastically.

"His Majesty!"

Emperor Mu Wu took a breath, and speaking had become difficult.

"You...you all kneel down...and obey my command..."

"Father——"

Xiao Chengqi opened his mouth to speak, but gritted his teeth and knelt down instead.

Shen Yanchuan, Chen Songshi, and others also knelt down in front of the dragon bed.

Emperor Muwu twitched his fingers slightly, his chest heaving, but his breath was barely a whisper.

It's clear that it's taking in more air than it's exhaling.

"I know... my time is drawing near..."
