"I heard from Xiao Shu that your health condition is getting worse. I was a little worried, so I came to see you overnight. It seems that Xiao Shu is right. Your current condition is indeed not very good."
Hearing Zhou Chen's words, Xiao Xuan's face was full of tension and even fear, and his eyes were fixed on Zhou Chen.
"Don't be so nervous. I came to see you because I was worried about you. Why are you looking at me with such fear?"
"Well, you're right to be afraid, because I came to find you because I was worried that you were dead. I don't want you to die so easily. Xiao Shu doesn't want to continue to seek revenge, but I'm different. I'm a petty person. What happened back then brought me great fear. If I don't take revenge, I'll feel very uncomfortable."
The fear in Xiao Xuan's eyes became even more intense, and he tried desperately to struggle, but his body was already weak, and Zhou Chen had pressed acupoints on his body, so he was unable to move at all.
Zhou Chen looked at him, there was no smug look on his face, instead he felt very bored, it was just that he was talking to himself, which was indeed very boring.
"Your Majesty, there is no need for us to talk too much. Let me see you off for the last time."
Xiao Xuan's pupils suddenly widened, and he tried hard to say something, but he couldn't say anything. Slowly, he felt very tired, his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and he slowly closed his eyes.
Zhou Chen stood silently for a long time, until he was sure that Emperor Liang Xiao Xuan was no more, and then disappeared into the palace like a ghost.
Just two hours after Zhou Chen left, the whole capital city suddenly heard the sound of bells, more than when the Empress Dowager passed away last year.
Countless people who were sleeping were awakened by the bells. After they heard how many bells had rung, their faces changed drastically.
The emperor has passed away!
During the later period of Emperor Xiao Xuan's reign, the court was in chaos and the people were living in misery, and in the end he was sidelined by Crown Prince Xiao Jingyan.
But when he passed away, Xiao Jingyan still performed the highest rituals and the whole country mourned...
With the death of Xiao Xuan, Xiao Jingyan naturally ascended the throne and became emperor. This year, he still used Xiao Xuan's Chengping era name, and a new era name will be changed in the next year.
Xiao Jingyan's ascension to the throne meant the arrival of a new era for Daliang, and Daliang entered the era of Xiao Jingyan from then on.
In the blink of an eye, more than three years have passed since Xiao Jingyan ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.
Many people came to Su's house today, but it was not lively at all, but rather depressed. A group of people gathered outside Mei Changsu's house, waiting quietly.
A few years have passed, and Gong Yu's appearance has not changed much, but her entire temperament has undergone a drastic change. She looks very elegant and extraordinary.
Gong Yu is holding a five or six-year-old child, which is her youngest son, Lin Xin.
Lin Xin held her mother's hand and asked softly, "Mom, father will be fine, right?"
Although Lin Xin is only five years old, he has received a good education since childhood and is very sensible.
When he was very young, he didn't understand his own life experience, why he had a father and a mother, and another father, and why he didn't have the same surname as his brother.
However, because he had been with Mei Changsu since he was a child and Mei Changsu loved him very much, he did not reject this father at all. Sometimes, when his parents beat and scolded him, he would go to his father Mei Changsu for help first.
He also particularly likes this father who always tolerates and loves him.
Although he is very young now, he knows that his father seems to be ill and he feels very sad.
When everyone present heard Lin Xin’s childish voice, their noses felt sore and their hearts were heavy.

Chapter 878 Mei Changsu is seriously ill and on his deathbed
The house was filled with the smell of Chinese medicine. This was Mei Changsu's residence. This smell had accompanied Mei Changsu for more than ten years.
In fact, ever since Mei Changsu had his poison removed and his bones cut in Langya Mountain, he has needed medicine every day to maintain his body, it’s just a matter of amount.
More than a decade later, his body was already at the end of its rope, and even the best medicines could not sustain his life.
Mei Changsu lay in bed with his eyes closed. He had been in this state for almost the past half month. He was awake for a very short time every day and relied entirely on drugs to keep his life going. He was somewhat similar to the Empress Dowager, except that he had a stronger willpower, so he was awake for relatively longer periods of time.
Several people were standing in front of the bed, including Zhou Chen, Lin Chen, Doctor Yan, Mu Nihuang, Meng Zhi, and Xiao Jingyan, who had been on the throne for four years.
Zhou Chen, Lin Chen and Doctor Yan took turns to check Mei Changsu's pulse, but after they were done, no one spoke first.
Meng Zhi was the most impatient. Seeing that the three of them were silent, he asked anxiously, "How is Xiao Shu? Why don't you say something?"
Doctor Yan stood aside without saying anything, while Lin Chen held his chin and winked at Zhou Chen.
Finally, Zhou Chen sighed and said, "You all know his condition, but you just don't want to admit it."
Meng Zhi, Mu Nihuang and Xiao Jingyan all turned pale, and Meng Zhi's strong body even trembled a few times.
"How is this possible? He was fine a few days ago. How could he die so quickly? How could this happen?"
Zhou Chen's face was also heavy as he glanced at Mei Changsu, whose breathing was not steady.
"Over the past year, he has actually been relying on drugs and my inner strength to keep him alive. But in reality, his body has long been riddled with holes. Today, drugs are no longer able to keep him alive."
Meng Zhi looked at Zhou Chen hopefully: "Then use your inner strength. Isn't your pure Yang inner strength unparalleled in the world? It is very effective in treating internal injuries. Go and save him."
Zhou Chen glanced at him and said nothing.
Lin Chen explained: "Changsu's body is already in a state of deterioration. Not to mention Junior Brother's current internal strength, even if he improves further, it will not have any effect."
Meng Zhi looked grim, muttering to himself: "Is there really no other way?"
Lin Chen said: "If there is really a way, do you think we will not use it? You are not the only one who cares about Changsu, your junior brother cares about him more than you do."
Although Meng Zhi has a deep relationship with Mei Changsu, he is still far behind Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen should be credited with the primary contribution to Mei Changsu's survival in the past few years.
Xiao Jingyan then asked, "Zhou Qing, you used your miraculous medical skills to help Grandma extend her life by three months. Can't you use them on Xiao Shu this time?"
Zhou Chen replied: "Xiao Shu's situation is different from that of his grandmother. In other words, I have used this method on him before, and now he has really..."
Ever since he came to this world, he has almost always been with Mei Changsu. The two are close friends for life and death. Of course, he doesn't want to see Mei Changsu die, but there is really nothing he can do.
Although he had lived in so many worlds and witnessed many separations of life and death, he still felt very uncomfortable at this moment.
Speaking of which, Mei Changsu was only in his thirties. If it weren't for the battle at Meiling that year, in which he was poisoned by fire and cold, he could have lived for at least a few dozen more decades.
But, there are not so many buts in life.
Precisely because he had witnessed so many separations of life and death, Zhou Chen was more aware of how lucky he was to have such a golden finger of a system.
In a sense, he is now like an immortal.
As long as he can keep traveling through time and complete the main tasks of the system, he can live countless lives.
After hearing this, Xiao Jingyan's face became even gloomier. As the Emperor of Daliang, he was above ten thousand people and extremely noble. There were not many people in this world that he cared about, and Mei Changsu was the most special one.
Even though he had been emperor for four years, his feelings for Mei Changsu remained unchanged. On the contrary, as Mei Changsu became weaker and weaker, he felt even more guilty.
"Is there really no other way?"
No one in the room spoke. There really was no other way. However, if there was any way, Zhou Chen and the other three doctors would definitely help with the treatment.
After a long silence, Mei Changsu on the bed slowly opened his eyes.
"Everyone, are here."
Mei Changsu's face was very pale and looked bloodless, but he still forced himself to speak to Zhou Chen and the others.
"Xiao Shu." "Xiao Shu." "Brother."
Xiao Jingyan, Meng Zhi and Mu Nihuang all walked forward and looked at Mei Changsu nervously.
Mei Changsu forced a smile: "Xiaochen, help me up, I need to lean on you."
Zhou Chen lifted up Mei Changsu's upper body, cushioned it with something, and leaned it against the head of the bed.
Mei Changsu let out a breath. He felt his head was heavy and his body was aching. Even his breathing was not smooth, and he felt stuffy and suffocated.
He was very aware of his own body. He knew that he was running out of energy and could die at any time, so there were some things he had to explain while he was still alive.
"His Majesty."
Jamel Xiao said hurriedly: “Xiao Shu, you say.”
Mei Changsu smiled. He wanted to reproduce that straightforward and innocent smile of the past, but he found that he could no longer smile like he did before.
"Your Majesty, you are in charge of all the people in the world. You shouldn't worry about me. I am a dying man. The country of Daliang is the most important thing. Ahem."
Zhou Chen patted Mei Changsu on the back to help him calm down.
"Xiao Shu, why are you talking about this? What you need to do now is to take good care of your body. Don't talk about this."
"No, if you don't tell me now, you may not have the chance in the future. Your Majesty, please listen to me."
Jamel Xiao’s voice choked: “Okay, you talk, I’ll listen.”
"Daliang is the beam of everyone, the people are the most important..."
Mei Changsu said a lot in one breath, but every few sentences he would cough continuously, and his breathing was also very bad, gasping for air in large gulps.
He told Xiao Jingyan all his thoughts about the country, and Xiao Jingyan listened very seriously. Even though he became the emperor, he still had 100% trust in Mei Changsu, who had supported him to become the emperor.
"Your Majesty, I have nothing else to ask for in this life. I only have one thing to ask of you shamelessly. Xin'er, Xin'er will..."
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Jingyan held his hands and said firmly: "Xiao Shu, don't worry, no matter what happens in the future, I will treat Xin'er like my own son. In the future, all the glory of the Lin family will be restored on him. As long as I am alive, I will protect him."
Hearing Xiao Jingyan's words, Mei Changsu felt relieved and whispered softly: "Thank you, Jingyan."
Xiao Jingyan couldn't help but burst into tears. Compared to the title of "Your Majesty", the title of "Jingyan" was what he loved to hear the most.
"Brother Meng."
Mei Changsu looked at Meng Zhi again.
"Xiao Shu." Meng Zhi, a strong man, choked up when he saw Lin Shu's weak appearance.
"Brother Meng, thank you. I was in the capital city thanks to your care. Without you, nothing would have been possible."
"Xiao Shu, stop talking. Take a good rest and take care of yourself. We'll talk later."
"Thank you, Brother Meng. You are the most respected brother in Lin Shu's life."
"Xiao Shu..."
Meng Zhi couldn't bear to watch any longer, so he turned around and cried quietly.
Everyone could see that Mei Changsu was making arrangements for his funeral. How could they not be sad?
Mei Changsu suddenly said: "Xiaochen, Nihuang, I have something to tell you."
When the others heard what Mei Changsu said, they all left the room silently, leaving only Zhou Chen and Mu Nihuang.
Mu Nihuang also sat beside Mei Changsu's bed, looking at him with red eyes and concern.
Mei Changsu smiled, then withdrew his smile and said to Mu Nihuang with a guilty look on his face: "Nihuang, I am sorry for you. If we had not been granted marriage, you would not be alone until now."
Although Mu Nihuang felt uncomfortable, she still smiled and said, "How can I blame you for this? I can only say that you are too outstanding, Brother Lin Shu. I have always taken you as my role model, so I look down on other men."
"What nonsense are you talking about, Nihuang? I don't have much time left, but I don't want to see you alone for the rest of your life."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, grasped Mu Nihuang's hand with a slight trembling hand, then grasped Zhou Chen's hand, and put their hands together.
"Xiaochen, I know you have Nihuang in your heart, but because of me, you never dare to show it. I tried to persuade you at first, but every time I wanted to say it, you changed the subject and didn't want to talk to me anymore. But I still want to say it now, just take it as my last request."
"Xiaochen, don't feel sorry for me. Really, in my heart, only you are worthy of Nihuang. I hope you can open your heart."
Zhou Chen didn't know what to say. Looking at Mei Changsu's pleading look, he really couldn't say no.
Mei Changsu then said to Mu Nihuang: "Nihuang, I also know that you have Xiaochen in your heart. You are just like him, you are both worried about me. I know you are both thinking about me, but this makes you feel wronged, which is not what I want to see."
"Nihuang, although Xiaochen is a playboy, I know him. He is a truly responsible man. Only by handing you over to him can I feel at ease."
"Brother Lin Shu, please stop talking."
Mu Nihuang's tears fell drop by drop, and she felt more and more guilty. Her brother was already in such a state, but he still cared about her, but she could not do anything for him.
"No, I want to say, Nihuang, I really hope you will think about it carefully. Xiaochen is worthy of your trust. I don't have many regrets in this life. If I could see you and Xiaochen together, I would sincerely bless you two."
Mu Nihuang wanted to say more, but Zhou Chen grabbed her hand tightly, and gave a serious answer in front of Mu Nihuang's surprised eyes.
"Xiao Shu, you are right. I do have Nihuang in my heart. I promise you that I will take good care of Nihuang for the rest of my life. I will never break my promise."
Seeing Zhou Chen's expression, Mu Nihuang no longer hesitated and said in the same way: "Brother, I promise you too, as long as he doesn't abandon me, I am willing to accompany him for the rest of his life."
When Mei Changsu heard Zhou Chen and Mu Nihuang's answers, a happy smile appeared on his face, and his complexion seemed to turn red.
"That's great."
"Cough, cough, cough..."
I don’t know if it was because he was too happy, but Mei Changsu suddenly had difficulty breathing and started coughing violently. Zhou Chen and Mu Nihuang hurried to help him, and it took a long time before he felt better.
"Xiaochen, please go and call Uncle Thirteen, Li Gang, and Zhen Ping in."
"it is good."
Zhou Chen and Mu Nihuang walked out of the room. As soon as they went out, the people waiting outside asked one after another about Mei Changsu.
