Time travel! The little princess came down the mountain and made a scene in the palace
Chapter 289 The oil is exhausted and the lamp is dry
Night fell over the bedroom as the emperor lay quietly on the dragon couch. His face was as pale as paper, as if the flame of life was gradually extinguished.
The Concubine Chen stayed beside the Emperor, her eyes revealing sadness and worry. She gently stroked the Emperor's hand, trying to give him a little warmth and comfort.
The emperor's dragon body was like an oil lamp that was about to run out of energy, and the flame was gradually getting weaker, which made the concubine Chen very worried.
There was a solemn and peaceful atmosphere in the palace, with only the faint breathing of the Emperor and the gentle voice of comfort from the Concubine Chen.
The Concubine Chen's eyes swept across the Emperor's face from time to time, her heart filled with worry and uneasiness.
It was a dark and windy night, and Xi Lingxue, wearing a black nightgown, blended into the darkness like a ghost. She was agile and moved silently through the streets of Daliang City.
Inside the city, the sound of patrol footsteps and the light of torches intertwined to form a tight security network.
However, Xi Lingxue cleverly avoided the patrol team's sight with her superb martial arts and agility.
She leaped lightly, flew over the roof and walls like a flying swallow, and rushed towards the cold palace.
There was an eerie atmosphere surrounding the cold palace. She walked lightly and glanced around vigilantly.
She quietly avoided the patrolling guards from the cold palace and made her way to the emperor's bedroom. The bedroom was surrounded by guards, preventing her from getting close.
She quietly went around to the back, luckily there were no guards guarding it, and used the space to enter the hall. Candlelight flickered in the hall, and the Concubine Chen fell asleep in front of the Emperor's dragon couch.
When she saw this scene, her heart ached.
He tiptoed to the side of Concubine Chen and looked at the dying emperor lying on the dragon couch. Tears blurred his vision. In just a few short years, his majestic father had become much older.
She gently pushed Concubine Chen, who suddenly woke up. When she saw that it was her daughter, tears welled up in her eyes.
Whispered: "Xue'er...you are finally here, your father..."
Concubine Chen was sobbing. Xi Lingxue held her hand and whispered in her ear, "Mother, you and father have suffered. I am back. Leave everything to me."
The concubine Chen didn't dare to cry out loud and could only hold back her tears.
"Don't be afraid. I am here. I will do everything I can to save you and your father."
Concubine Chen nodded repeatedly, "Your father..."
Xi Lingxue hurriedly took the emperor's pulse. After that, she felt extremely heavy-hearted. She quickly took out the elixir from the space and gave it to the emperor to take, hoping that he could live a few more days.
The concubine choked up and said, "How is your father?"
Xi Lingxue hesitated to speak, "Father, he..."
"The imperial physician told mother last night that your father is running out of energy and won't last much longer."
Xi Lingxue hugged Chen Fei and comforted her gently. The guard at the door heard someone talking inside and hurried in. Xi Lingxue heard the footsteps and quickly jumped onto the beam with his light skills.
When Concubine Chen saw the guards coming in, she wiped the tears off her face and shouted angrily: "Get lost, this is the emperor's bedroom, if you dare to disturb the emperor's rest, I will order you to be beaten to death."
The guard said coldly: "You are now the imperial concubine, and it won't be long before you are killed by the sword."
"Even if I die tomorrow, I am still the honorable concubine today. Prince Huan will not kill me until he gets what he wants."
"As for you, even if I kill you, King Huan, what can I do to you?"
The guard looked around the hall and made sure nothing was wrong. He glared at Concubine Chen angrily and walked out.
The guard walked to the door, and his companion said, "Can you stop being suspicious? The entire palace is full of King Huan's people. Not even a fly can fly in, let alone a human."
"I just heard someone talking."
"It must be the Concubine Chen's nagging again. Don't pay attention to her. We are all used to it. You just got transferred here to guard today so you don't know."
"From a noble imperial concubine to a prisoner, facing death overnight, who wouldn't go crazy? Let her go crazy for a few days until King Huan ascends the throne. We will become founding heroes and enjoy endless wealth and glory. Why bother to argue with her?"
"That's true."
