The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 169

The King of the Western Regions was now in a depressed state, with dark circles under his eyes, clearly indicating he hadn't rested well. And now, he was on Lady Ruiji's body.

That's right, he insisted on having sex with Mrs. Riki all night, and didn't leave the room for even a moment.

The messenger immediately recognized the situation between the King of the Western Regions and Lady Ruiji, and in his heart, he could only curse the King of the Western Regions for being incompetent.

Meanwhile, the Western Regions King, still inside, suddenly heard these words and flew into a rage. He seemed much more energetic, but his face turned deathly pale, as if he were experiencing a final burst of energy before death.

The King of the Western Regions was so angry that his eyes were bloodshot and his pupils were filled with blood vessels.

He had intended to get up and go out to demand an explanation, but as soon as he stepped out of bed, everything spun before his eyes, and he couldn't see the path ahead at all. He heard Mrs. Riki's uneasy voice behind him, but he couldn't make out what she was saying.

Suddenly his head slammed heavily on the table, and he fell to the ground with a thud, shattering a table full of jade porcelain teacups.

Lady Regis immediately rushed forward, wanting to help the King of the Western Regions to his feet.

But at that moment, the King of the Western Regions' face turned purple again, and he closed his eyes and couldn't wake up at all.

Mrs. Ridge was astonished. She screamed, startling everyone outside who rushed in.

When they saw the king on the ground, their expressions changed drastically.

The worker who had been by the Western Regions King's side for a long time quickly stepped forward. The King shook him, then patted his face. Seeing no response, he shouted loudly in the King's ear, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, wake up!"

But the King of the Western Regions did not respond at all, and his face turned even more purple. Everyone panicked when they saw this and hurriedly went to call a doctor.

The doctor arrived quickly and was shocked to see the King of the Western Regions lying on the ground. He immediately took the king's pulse, only to find that the king had no pulse at all.

The doctor collapsed to the ground, muttering, "This... Your Majesty... is going to die! I can't save you!"

"They're leaving?!" Lady Rachel was the most panicked among them.

After all, the King of the Western Regions had spent the entire night with her. If something really happened to the King of the Western Regions, the people of the Western Regions would definitely question her first.

Lady Ruiji's face changed drastically. She backed away repeatedly, unable to believe it, and then lay down beside the King of the Western Regions, shaking him and calling out, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Wake up! Don't scare me!"

But the King of the Western Regions still did not respond.

Lady Rachel is now completely panicked.

The messenger was utterly astonished. He had only come to deliver a message to the King of the Western Regions, and the king had died before his eyes. Meanwhile, the fighting at the front was tense. What would they do without the King of the Western Regions?

The news spread quickly, and the whole country was shocked.

The princes rushed to the scene, only to find the King of the Western Regions already lifeless, lying quietly on his bed, his face ashen. A living person had suddenly vanished overnight. The princes wept bitterly, some filled with anxiety.

They're functional when they're online, but they have no idea how to command generals or govern a country. Entrusting such a nation to them so easily would be tantamount to national subjugation. They don't want to become eternal sinners.

They all turned to look at the eldest prince standing to the side.

The prince's name was Buck, and he was much older than all the other princes.

It was he who stood alone on the city wall and sounded the retreat horn; otherwise, the soldiers of the Western Regions would surely have suffered even greater casualties.
