In the past few days, Prince Yali has been accompanying King Qin to look around and have fun, and he doesn't know much about the affairs in the palace.
Seeing the military advisor coming out of the palace, he asked casually and let the military advisor go.
The King of Qin said with a surprised look on his face: "Have the military advisor succeeded in getting the king's precious blood? Isn't the king now ill?"
Prince Yali was full of confusion: "What do you mean?"
The attendant behind him quickly explained the matter.
"It is unheard of that the blood of the True Dragon Emperor can cure diseases." King Yali frowned, "But Milia is really courageous. She dared to enter the palace and force the king to take the blood. She is indeed the most trusted person by me. People. I heard that after taking the blood from his heart, he lingered on the sickbed at worst, and died suddenly at worst. It seems that my brother, the king, will not live long, and Miliya is really a great contributor."
"Is the prince too optimistic?" King Qin said, "In our Dayu Dynasty, it is very common to use the heart blood to make medicine, which can cure many diseases. If the military advisor's mother recovers from the disease, then the king will be the military advisor's mother-savior. Will the military advisor just turn to the king’s side?”
He paused and continued, "If the military advisor changes sides, I'm afraid the prince will... I will have to reconsider my cooperation with the prince."
Prince Yali was surprised and said: "Can a heart attack really cure a stubborn illness that has lasted for more than ten years?"
He also thought that Miliya deliberately entered the palace and took away the king's hard work under the guise of what the imperial doctor of Dayu said, in order to promote the great cause as soon as possible.
The strategist was always smart, and he also felt that this move was an excellent move, taking away the painstaking effort. The king would definitely not live long, and when the king died, Assab would be in his pocket...
But now, King Qin said that Miliya was really asking for medicine.
He knew very well how much Miliya cared about this old mother. Miliya lost his father when he was young and relied on his mother to sell herself to raise him. After he grew up and made a living, his mother contracted a stubborn disease. He prayed many times to cure her mother's disease. All the famous doctors in Assab... If his mother takes the king's blood and recovers this time, then...
Miliya's expression changed: "King Qin, I'll excuse you now."
He strode out, got on his horse, and went directly to the military advisor's residence.
In the yard, the military advisor was boiling medicine. He personally guarded his mother's medicine jar and did everything himself, refusing to let anyone else take advantage of him.
"Milia!" King Yali rushed in and said coldly, "You didn't bring a single soldier into the palace, and you were able to get the royal family to agree to take heart blood. Did you agree to some conditions of the royal family behind my back?"
The military advisor raised his head and said, "Back to the prince, I promise to arrange an army of one hundred people to protect the prince."
Prince Yali looked unbelieving.
He has 200,000 troops under his command, and an army of one hundred is equivalent to a drop in the bucket. It doesn't hurt him, but the king only needs to leave with a hundred men?
A drop of blood can kill a man, but an army of a hundred men can do nothing.
He narrowed his eyes: "Milia, do you know the consequences of betraying me?"
Miliya quickly put down the cattail leaf fan in her hand, stood up, placed her hand on her heart, lowered her head and said, "I swear to the Lord God of Heaven and Earth to always be loyal to the king!"
"There are only two or three people serving your mother, which is too few." Prince Yali said, "I will arrange for four palace people to come and relieve your worries."
Miliya tightened her fingers and said after a long time: "Thank you, Prince."
His mother had been ill for more than ten years, and the county king had never even visited her, let alone arranged for someone to take care of her.
Now, four palace people were suddenly arranged to come. This was obviously to monitor him and take his mother as a hostage.
As long as he does anything strange, the prince will attack his mother.
Miliya thought of the young prince and the king who was not very smart... He had never been loyal to the king for a day, but he received a great gift from the king. The most important thing was that the king did not make any outrageous suggestions. requirements...
The greatest goal of the county king is to become the king of Assab. Is such a person really worthy of being a king?
The king of Assab fell ill.
The news spread throughout the capital like it had wings.
"Our king is only forty years old, why did he suddenly become seriously ill?"
"I heard that the military advisor took away the king's hard work in order to save his chronically ill mother. When all the hard work was gone, the person naturally became sick."
"How dare a military advisor take away the king's precious blood? Where did he get the courage?"
"You are still a native of the capital. Don't you know that the military adviser is the confidant of King Yali? King Yali holds the military power and controls the government. Our king has no real power and is like fish and meat."
"After taking away the heart's blood, will the person die? I don't want the king to die..."
"Which quack doctor said that the king's blood can cure diseases and caused harm to our king..."
The imperial doctor of Dayu sneezed hard.
He rubbed his nose, looked at Cheng Wanwan and said: "Mrs. Sui, that old lady is extremely ill, and even a heart attack can't save her life. After taking the medicine for three to five days in a row, the military advisor will know that this prescription is useless. This move How to proceed?"
Cheng Wanwan raised the corners of her lips: "How did the imperial doctor know that the real dragon emperor's blood was not good?"
The imperial doctor choked suddenly.
Even if he was very brave, he would not dare to let the emperor take the blood from his heart as medicine. Therefore, he really didn't know what effect the blood from the heart of the True Dragon Emperor had.
The king's condition became worse day by day, and the entire palace was shrouded in dark clouds.
On the contrary, the old mother of the military advisor was miraculously able to get out of bed. She no longer coughed or had chest pain, and her face was rosy. It was impossible to tell that she was a person who had been ill for more than ten years.
The people who had been paying attention to the military adviser's family immediately became excited.
"What right does a seventy-year-old woman have to live? Why should she trade the king's life for hers?"
"The king's blood can save lives, which means that the king is the destined true dragon emperor. If something happens to the king, something will happen to the Assab Kingdom!"
"No wonder there was a snowstorm in the north a month ago. It was only July and August, and the snow-capped mountains collapsed. This is a bad omen from the Lord. The Lord has long predicted that something will happen to the king!"
“First the avalanche, what’s next?”
"The king cannot die, cannot die..."
Countless people knelt on the streets and prayed to the Lord God, asking their king to live longer.
"Hahahaha!" Prince Yali laughed. "I went to the palace to take a look in the morning. The king's complexion was gray. He is indeed dying. He is probably going to die in the next few days. Once he dies, he will be the only prince to succeed him. But if the prince also dies, I will be the first successor."
The counselor beside him said: "The king died of illness, the queen died in love, and the prince died of grief and hunger strike. The common people should like this story very much."
Another counselor said: "As for the princess, marry her to Xirong and get married, so that Xirong will not interfere in our internal affairs of Assab."
King Alex's eagle eyes looked to the side: "Milia, what do you think?"
"The sudden death of the king and the prince together may cause a riot among the people." Miliya said, "It is better to send the prince far away to study in Thurso Kingdom..."
Just as he was talking, a guard hurried in.
"Your Majesty, it's not good. There is a landslide outside the city, and huge rocks appear. There are words written on the rocks..."
Prince Yali stood up and asked, "What did you write?"
The guard lowered his head and said tremblingly: "The real dragon will die, the fake dragon will cause chaos, the sky will show its evil eyes, and Assab will die!"
