Chapter 767 Liu Bei Falls

"I don't know what happened to my father, second uncle, and third uncle."

Liu Chan put down the documents at hand and rubbed his sore eyes. He couldn't help but worry about Liu Bei's health. He shook his head and felt that his worries were unnecessary. "It shouldn't be a big deal, right? Didn't I hear news a few days ago that my father's health has improved? It seems that I am worrying too much."

Liu Chan rested for a while and wanted to focus on the official documents again.

But for some reason, no matter how hard Liu Chan tried to concentrate, he couldn't concentrate on the official documents. He would always get distracted while reading, and the feeling of uneasiness in his heart grew stronger and stronger.

Liu Chan slapped himself directly, scaring the palace maid beside him so much that her eyelids twitched. "No, Your Majesty, you are the emperor, there is no need to hit yourself, right?"

Although the palace people were puzzled, no one dared to speak. It was not because of Liu Chan's temperament. The current emperor and the retired emperor who was away on the expedition were two completely opposite personalities.

When the retired emperor was in power, he really dared to kill palace maids at will and did not take their lives seriously at all.

On the other hand, the current emperor is much more tolerant. He has never vented his anger on the palace maids, nor has he ordered the death of any of them.

But the palace people's fear of the current emperor has not decreased but increased.

It is true that the emperor would not vent his anger on the palace maids, let alone order them to be killed. The problem is that once the emperor's rules are violated, the emperor will kick the palace maids out. Positions in the palace are very limited, and there are many palace maids who are very eager for each position. If there is a mistake, once it is reported, it's over. The emperor doesn't need to do anything at all, the revenge of his colleagues will come in an instant, which is more painful than death.

Therefore, the palace servants did not dare to discuss state affairs at all.

Liu Chan had no time to care about the palace people's thoughts. At this moment, he was roaring in his heart, "Ah Dou, Ah Dou, how can you not watch this? You can't let down your father, the prime minister, and your brother! The entire Han Dynasty is on your shoulders, you can't be a tyrant! You can't be a tyrant!
Liu Chan was panting like a cow, his fists were clenched so hard that they made a crackling sound, and beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Your Majesty! What's wrong with you?!"

The sudden concern brought Liu Chan's thoughts back to the present. Liu Chan looked carefully and saw Dong Yun, who had a worried look on his face.

"It's Xiu Zhao. I'm fine. I just remembered the nightmare I had last night."

Dong Yun, courtesy name Xiuzhao, now serves as the Imperial Court Assistant Minister. Imperial Court Assistant Minister holds a salary of six hundred stones, an official position in the Menxia Province. He is a close minister of the emperor and can enter and leave the palace freely. He can communicate official matters between the emperor and the Shangshu Ling.

"Nightmare." Dong Yun's face changed slightly, but soon returned to normal.

The change in Dong Yun's expression naturally did not escape Liu Chan's eyes. There was one thing he was very confident about. In terms of acting skills, he was confident that he was not inferior to anyone except Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. After all, he grew up in a theater.

Something bad must have happened to make Xiu Zhao's expression change slightly.
Liu Chan's expression became solemn, and his heart immediately sank to the bottom of the valley, "Xiu Zhao, what happened?"

"Your Majesty, please stay calm as I am about to say this."

"Okay, you say."

Dong Yun did not keep the topic secret and said directly, "The Prince of Yan's old illness has relapsed, and his high fever will not subside. He is bedridden."

"What?!"

These fourteen short words were like a bolt from the blue to Liu Chan. He never expected that Liu Bei would fall, his father who had spent half his life in military service.

Chest pain

At this moment, Liu Chan felt as if a thousand knives were stabbing into his heart. The pain was so severe that even his voice was trembling. "No, it's impossible! Xiu Zhao, you clearly told me last time that my father was fine and was showing signs of recovery. How could his old illness relapse?!"

Dong Yun remained silent. He just handed the diagnosis report from Liu Bei's personal physician to Liu Chan.

Liu Chan's face turned pale, he clutched the diagnosis report tightly, and even his lips were trembling.

Emotionally, he wanted to reject this diagnosis report, but his mind told him that there seemed to be nothing wrong with it. The reason was not only that he had some experience in medicine, but more importantly, the doctor he arranged to be with Liu Bei was not an ordinary person.

This imperial physician was not only the most proud disciple of Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing, but also Dong Feng, who was known as one of the three great doctors of the Jian'an period in the history of Xianxiang together with Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing!
If even Dong Feng is helpless, even if Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing come, I'm afraid they won't be able to save the situation.

At this moment, countless sorrows and endless fears surged from Liu Chan's heart, like a black tide that was about to swallow him whole.

What was even worse was that Liu Chan felt the scene before his eyes suddenly spun. He stumbled and fell to the ground, startling Dong Yun and the palace servants who all came forward and shouted, "Your Majesty!"

Dong Yun was the first to arrive in front of Liu Chan and helped him up. With the same sadness between his brows, he still comforted Liu Chan: "Your Majesty, I believe that the king will recover."

Liu Chan closed his eyes, tears rolling down his eyes, his voice became choked, "Come here, pass on my order, order the Prime Minister, the Minister of the Chancellery, the Minister of the Central Secretariat, the Minister of the Imperial Physician, the Imperial Physician Assistant, the Crown Prince Xuan, the Prince Cong, the Prince Zan, and the Prince Chen..."

"Follow me to Zhuo County at night"

Liu Chan ordered the palace's wise ministers and princes to accompany him to Zhuo County. He knew that Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing might be helpless, but he still took them with him.

After traveling non-stop for several hours, Liu Chan, Zhuge Liang, Fa Zheng, Jia Xu and others arrived at the largest medical clinic in Yan State at the hour of You.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei lowered their heads. Their once strong and tall bodies had now become hunched over and trembled uncontrollably. When they opened their mouths, only choked words came out.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, and other wise ministers, I have been waiting for you for a long time. Please go in."

The moment he saw Liu Bei in person, Liu Chan could no longer hold back his tears. Tears instantly broke through the dam and flowed out of his eyes uncontrollably. He cried like a tearful man, "Father. Father!"

In Liu Chan's impression, Liu Bei has always been tall and mighty, and wise as could be.

What about now? Liu Bei seemed to have taken off his hard armor, revealing his skinny and old body. His face was so exhausted that it was shocking, and even his breathing was extremely weak.

Sadness at this moment

"It's Ah Dou." Liu Bei turned his head to look at Liu Chan, and a brilliant smile appeared on his haggard and tired face. He raised his hand to wipe Liu Chan's tears, "You are now the emperor of the Han Dynasty, so don't cry. Men don't shed tears easily."

Looking at Liu Bei, who was like a candle in the wind, Liu Chan felt heartbroken. He tried hard to wipe away his tears and burst into laughter, but this laugh was uglier than crying.

"Just now the wind blew sand into my body. Father, I won't cry, I won't cry." Liu Chan held Liu Bei's hand with his backhand and said in a gentle tone, "Father, you're fine. Don't worry. I've invited the Imperial Physician and the Imperial Physician Chief. You'll be fine!"
