"I, what's going on? Why don't you light the lamp?"
It was not until late at night that the emperor woke up again.
"Father? You, are you awake?"
Looking at the nearby candlestick, Liu Qi felt nervous for a while.
"Why are you still here? It's dark, why don't you light a lamp?"
Liu Heng's voice revealed endless weakness.
"The Imperial Physician! Go and teach the Imperial Physician!"
Liu Qi swallowed hard, an ominous premonition echoed in his mind.
"Are I blind?"
Hearing what Liu Qi said, Liu Heng reacted immediately.
"Father, don't worry, I will go find the imperial doctor to check on you right now!"
Liu Qi said with a trembling voice.
"No need, I don't have much time. Is that boy Liu Deng engraved in the palace?"
Liu Heng's health seemed to be really getting better. At least when he spoke, he no longer coughed.
Although my voice is still a little hoarse, it is much better than before.
"In the!"
Liu Qi said quickly.
"Go and order him to come. I know you are generous by nature, so let me bear this bad reputation for you..."
After Liu Heng finished speaking, a smile actually appeared on his face.
Liu Qi's heart ached for no reason, but for a moment he couldn't think of what to say.
"Father, Liu Deng is a good helper for children!"
After gritting his teeth, Liu Qi still said seriously.
After all, at least from now on, Liu Deng has done impeccably in all aspects.
If Liu Deng was missing, he would really be unable to do many things.
"go Go!"
Liu Heng just smiled slightly and raised his hand weakly.
Liu Qi had no choice but to order someone to invite Liu Deng.
"By the way, send someone to inform Shen Tujia and Zhou Yafu..."
Liu Qi nodded with tears in his eyes, and then ordered people to go ahead as usual.
After a while, Liu Deng, who was sleeping in a daze, suddenly felt someone pushing him.
"Your Majesty the King? Why are you asleep here? Your Majesty has summoned you, please follow me quickly!"
When Liu Deng opened his eyes, he saw Wang Deyi standing in front of him.
"Well... I've been traveling all night recently. I didn't get any rest yesterday, so... I made my father-in-law laugh!"
Liu Deng has always been thick-skinned, and since he is an acquaintance with Wang Deyi, he naturally feels much more relaxed when talking.
"Your Highness, please clean up quickly. His Majesty is waiting for you!"
After hearing what Wang Deyi said, Liu Deng quickly stood up and tidied his clothes.
After finishing sorting, Liu Deng followed Wang Deyi all the way to the emperor's palace.
"Father, how is your Majesty's health? Why did you think of summoning me so late?"
After walking through the long corridor and reaching a deserted alley, Liu Deng quickly took two steps forward and spoke to Wang Deyi in a low voice.
As Liu Deng spoke, he skillfully took out a thick stack of banknotes from his sleeve and stuffed them directly into Wang Deyi's sleeve without any fuss.
"Your Highness, you'd better not ask anything, and I can't say anything. Do you understand?"
What Liu Deng didn't expect was that Wang Deyi actually handed him his hand, and then quietly returned the banknote...
Liu Deng's heart skipped a beat. The prince had not come back for so long. The emperor, who had been ill for a long time, summoned him late at night. This was really not a good sign...
"Thank you for your advice, father-in-law. Liu Deng will definitely be rewarded in great ways in the future!!"
Liu Deng took a deep breath, and then raised his hand towards Wang Deyi.
"The old slave didn't say anything, and His Highness didn't ask anything!"
Wang Deyi returned the salute to Liu Deng, and then said seriously.
"My father-in-law said yes!"
Seeing Wang Deyi say this, Liu Deng immediately confirmed his suspicion.
"The old slave has been with His Majesty for more than thirty years. When His Majesty was still the acting king, the old slave has been serving His Majesty. The old slave was originally a eunuch. After his death, he will naturally be buried with the imperial mausoleum. , but I still have a godson by my side, he is too stupid, I hope Your Highness will take care of him in the future!"
When Wang Deyi said this, he looked deeply at Liu Deng, then took out a small note from his sleeve and handed it to Liu Deng.
Behind Wang Deyi, the handsome little eunuch was already kneeling on the ground, his head pressed tightly against the ground.
"My father-in-law is serious. You have taken good care of Liu Deng. I think he is also a smart man. I still lack such a companion by my side. Why don't I just let him follow me?"
Feeling the extra piece of paper in his hand, Liu Deng knew in his heart that Wang Deyi was paving the way for his godson again.
As for why he did this, Liu Deng could probably think of it. As the old saying goes, there are only one emperor and one courtier, not to mention a close servant like a eunuch. The prince already has a Chuntuo by his side.
If Wang Deyi's godson stayed in the palace, there would definitely be a fight between him and Chuntuo.
Chuntuo grew up with the prince since childhood, and his emotional foundation is really something that others can't compete with.
Instead of staying in the palace and dying, it's better to give up everything you have and go back to the Kingdom of Dai to change the world.
The connections Wang Deyi had accumulated in the palace over the years were truly extraordinary, and now he had given up all of them as soon as he changed hands!
This heroic determination alone was enough to make Liu Deng look at him with suspicion.
"This old servant is ashamed to accept His Highness's kindness! It's getting late, Your Majesty must be impatient..."
Wang Deyi raised his hand towards Liu Deng again, and then took the lead to move forward.
The little eunuch hurriedly followed, while Liu Deng stayed where he was, using the dim light to open the small piece of paper in his hand.
After seeing the writing on it clearly, Liu Deng took a deep breath, and then directly stuffed the note into his mouth...
"Your Majesty, Liu Deng, is here to see you!"
When Liu Deng arrived at the emperor's palace, he noticed that the atmosphere was not quite right as soon as he entered. Although Liu Qi was standing aside, it was obvious that he had just cried, and his eyes were still red.
"Are you here? Come forward and talk!"
The emperor's slightly hoarse voice made Liu Deng's nose sore for no reason.
"Grandpa Huang, what's wrong with you?"
Liu Deng hurriedly took a few steps forward and knelt directly in front of the emperor's bed. Tears could not help but wet his eyes.
It had only been a few months since they had seen each other, and Liu Deng never expected that the emperor's body was already so weak.
"My body and bones are failing. I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for much longer. I brought you here today because I want to ask you something!"
Although his eyes were blind, Liu Heng's hands could still feel the warm tears on Liu Deng's face.
"Grandpa Huang, please don't say that. My grandson met a few good doctors in Jinyang City. My grandson will send someone to find them quickly!"
Liu Deng's body was shaking as he spoke. The sadness in his bones made the emperor's cold heart feel a little warm...
