The princess traveled through time for a year to help the prince build his kingdom and then left

The old eunuch stepped forward and asked the guard at the gate to inform him.

The guard seemed to know the old eunuch and turned and went in without saying much.

While waiting, the old eunuch quietly introduced some of the situation to them.

“The Emperor has a team of loyal secret guards under his personal management, called the Southern Shadow Guards.

The Southern Shadow Guards are too powerful, every one of them is a master, and no one can mobilize them except the emperor.

So it’s safe here now.”

Qin Rubing suddenly realized:

It turned out that it was because of the Southern Shadow Guards that the Southern Emperor's bedroom was safe enough even though he was seriously ill.

Xiao Yifei is a man who will do anything to achieve his goals, so it is not surprising that he would force the emperor to abdicate or even kill him.

But because of the existence of Nan Yingwei, he could only be his prince obediently.

After a while, the captain of the Southern Shadow Guard came out.

The old eunuch stepped forward and whispered something, then handed over the folding fan that Zuo Qingyun never let go of.

The captain took the folding fan with both hands and immediately turned around and went in.

Half an incense stick of time later, the captain came out, led the way personally and invited them in.

The bedroom was decorated luxuriously and solemnly, with soft carpets on the floor and valuable calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls.

The windows were covered by heavy curtains, and the light in the house was dim, adding a mysterious atmosphere.

In the center of the bedroom, there was a huge bed covered with gorgeous bedding and pillows.

Nan Di sat on the bed, looking a little weak, but staring at the door intently.

He held the folding fan in his hand.

The folding fan contains the secret that proves Zuo Qingyun's identity.

The Southern Emperor has confirmed that the owner of this folding fan is his and Concubine Shu's son.

He originally thought he was dead, but later found out he was not dead. However, he searched for him for many years and couldn't find him.

I didn't expect that he was still alive and well, and he finally waited for it.

After Qin Rubing entered the room, she took a look at Emperor Nan's face and felt that his illness was not as serious as rumored.

Zuo Qingyun then walked in.

When the Southern Emperor saw Zuo Qingyun, he was extremely excited.

He tried to get out of his bed to greet his son, but due to his weak body, he had difficulty moving.

Zuo Qingyun stood quietly at the door, his eyes revealing complex emotions.

Although he remained calm on the surface, his heart was already overwhelmed by turbulent emotions.

The old man in front of him was his biological father whom he had not seen for many years!

The vicissitudes of life have left deep marks on Nan Di's face, and now he has been tortured by illness and is haggard.

He was a little hesitant, not knowing how to recognize her.

When the Southern Emperor was about to get out of bed, the chief eunuch beside him reached out to help him up. However, the Southern Emperor was so excited that he fainted.

At this moment, Zuo Qingyun could no longer control himself. He rushed over and supported the Southern Emperor.

Qin Rubing followed closely, rushed to the bedside, and took the Southern Emperor's pulse.

She used her mind to call out to "Xiao Yu" to immediately diagnose Nan Di.

"Measure blood pressure, do an electrocardiogram, do an ultrasound, do a blood test, do a head CT scan..."

Qin Rubing listed a bunch of items to be checked.

The diagnosis came out quickly:

Syncope symptoms may be related to factors such as high blood pressure and heart disease. A CT scan of the head revealed bleeding in the left frontal lobe.

Symptomatic treatment: oxygen inhalation, antihypertensive drugs, and cardioprotective drugs.

If the bleeding is severe, surgical treatment is required in a timely manner.

Zuo Qingyun looked at Qin Rubing for help and said anxiously: "Save him!"

"Okay." Qin Rubing gestured to Zuo Qingyun to move aside first.

She approached the Southern Emperor, pretending to check, and took out a quick-acting heart-saving pill from the space with her sleeve, and handed it to Zuo Qingyun.

Zuo Qingyun fed it into the Southern Emperor's mouth without hesitation.

The chief eunuch tried to stop him, but was glared at by the old eunuch.

After a while, Nan Di slowly opened his eyes and woke up.

Seeing this, Qin Rubing silently stepped back and stood aside.

Zuo Qingyun stepped forward and gently held the slightly pale hand of the Southern Emperor, his eyes full of concern.

The moment Zuo Qingyun's eyes met the Southern Emperor's, time seemed to freeze.

His breathing gradually quickened, tears glistened in his eyes. He held Nandi's hand, feeling the warmth that had been lost and regained.

Nan Di gently patted the back of Zuo Qingyun's hand with his other hand, and said in a trembling voice: "Child, I finally found you."

Zuo Qingyun raised his head, tears blurred his eyes, and he choked up and said, "Father, I miss you so much."

The Southern Emperor looked at Zuo Qingyun with eyes full of kindness.

The candlelight shone on them, seeming to cast a layer of warm glow on their reunion.

After a long time, the Southern Emperor asked the chief eunuch to prepare writing brushes and ink.

He forced himself out of bed, walked to the desk, held the brush, took a deep breath, and wrote down his will.

His eyes revealed his concern for the country's future and his trust in Zuo Qingyun.

There was a solemn atmosphere in the room. The flickering candlelight illuminated the pale face of Emperor Nan.

Nandi held the brush tightly, and every stroke carried his expectations and determination.

His brushstrokes were vigorous and powerful, as if he wanted to pour all his life's wisdom into this will.

The content of the will was brief and clear: pass the throne to Zuo Qingyun.

The Southern Emperor was well aware of Zuo Qingyun's talent and character, and believed that he was capable of shouldering the heavy responsibility of the country.

After writing the last word, Nandi put down his brush with a sense of relief.

At this moment, the Southern Emperor's wish was passed on, and the future of the country rested on Zuo Qingyun's shoulders.

He believed that Zuo Qingyun would shoulder his expectations and lead the country towards prosperity.

However, everyone knew that this was a will and also a secret decree.

In other words, it cannot be made public yet.

The Southern Emperor handed the will to Zuo Qingyun with a solemn expression and said earnestly, "Keep it well."

Zuo Qingyun nodded, took the will and put it on his body.

Everyone knew that the Southern Emperor had made Xiao Yifei the crown prince only as a temporary measure in order to stabilize the court and quell disputes among various forces.

Xiao Yifei is a smart and ambitious man, but Emperor Nan has reservations about his character and abilities.

Choosing Xiao Yifei was not the best decision, but under the circumstances at the time, it was the only way to maintain balance.

The Southern Emperor hoped that this stopgap measure would buy time for the country and allow it to find a more suitable successor.

However, Xiao Yifei didn't know all this. He happily accepted the position of the prince and began to actively plan his future.

As time went by, Emperor Nan silently observed Xiao Yifei's performance and also realized his ambitions and desires.

The Southern Emperor has actually been waiting for Zuo Qingyun's return.

Now, Zuo Qingyun, his most outstanding son, has finally returned to the Southern Kingdom.

The situation in the palace is changing rapidly, and the struggle for power has just begun.
