The emperor's straightforward words made Leng Yu stunned for a moment. Luo Lan frowned and glanced at Leng Yu. They never expected that the emperor would want to directly pass the throne to Leng Yu.
Seeing that the two of them were a little unresponsive, the emperor sighed and said:
"I know that you are angry, but for the sake of the country of Daning, I hope you can put aside your past grudges, because your other three brothers are not enough to support this country. I am really afraid... I am really afraid that I will leave. After that, the land built by our ancestors was handed over to others."
At this point, the emperor's eyes turned red, his breathing suddenly became rapid, and he seemed to be out of breath.
Leng Yu deliberately wanted to get up and pat his back, but his legs refused to obey and he still knelt there. Maybe he couldn't get too close to his father psychologically.
After breathing for a while, the emperor turned his eyes to Luo Lan and continued:
"Princess Yu, I know that you are indispensable for Yu'er to be where she is today. Although I once had doubts about you, you have proved with reality that marrying Yu'er is not profitable, so even if you have I will not pursue the ten thousand unsolved mysteries. I only hope that after I leave, you can help Yu'er with your father so that he can secure the throne and go to jail. More importantly, In the future... if Yu'er has murderous intentions towards his three imperial brothers, you must persuade him not to let them kill each other, they are brothers after all."
When he said this, a dim and regretful look suddenly appeared in the emperor's eyes. Perhaps he was thinking of his brother, the King of Zhennan Leng Zian who was forced away by him back then!
Luo Lan raised her eyes and glanced at the emperor, frowned and said sadly:
"Don't worry, your Majesty. If that day comes, I will do my best to assist Leng Yu. However, I feel that the emperor's illness is not incurable yet. Could you please let me take a look at it?"
Hearing what she said, a relieved smile appeared on the emperor's lips, "I'm very happy that you can say that. I thought that both you and Yu'er would hate me and hope to see me die soon."
Leng Yu hurriedly replied:
"Er Chen and Lan'er don't dare. Although the imperial doctors are helpless about my father's illness, I think it's better to let Lan'er take a look at it. Now I'm not ready to take over the throne. , you still need to keep it yourself.”
A clear look suddenly appeared in the emperor's eyes, and then disappeared again.
He raised his hands gloomily, "That's all, I've been ill for a long time, and now I'm terminally ill. There's no possibility of cure. Don't waste your efforts. I miss Yu'er too. It's time to reunite with her. You go back. Finally, don’t publicize this matter for now, and find an opportunity for Liu Dechang to join several ministers in the court to read Leng Yun’s book, and I can justifiably dethrone him as the crown prince.”
Luo Lan suddenly felt that the emperor in front of him had changed. He had become sober, enlightened, and no longer suspicious.
At this moment, he suddenly covered his stomach with an ugly expression on his face, pointed outside and said:
"Liu Xi, come in..."
Liu Xi, who had been waiting outside, saw this and hurriedly ran in with small steps. He came to the dragon couch, bowed to help the emperor, and walked together to the back hall.
Seeing the emperor holding his stomach as if he was worse than dead, Leng Yu looked at Luo Lan and said softly:
"Madam, I really didn't expect that my father would be so ill, but since he was infected with dysentery, why couldn't he be cured after being treated for a long time? Could it be that he had some incurable disease?"
Luo Lan frowned, stood up with Leng Yu's support, and said solemnly:
"I suspect that what he has is no longer ordinary dysentery, but he won't let me check his pulse, so I can't make a diagnosis, and I can't know the specific disease he has."
While the two were talking in low voices, the emperor was holding his stomach with his hands, half-bent, and was supported by Liu Xi. He returned to the dragon bed. He struggled to hold the edge of the bed, and lay down directly with Liu Xi's support.
Seeing him look haggard like an old man, Leng Yu suddenly felt a little sad in his heart.
The heroic man who once led him to gallop on the battlefield was now like a wilted rooster, lifeless and even having difficulty speaking.
After settling the emperor, Liu Xi let out a long sigh.
"Hey, the emperor has a stomachache and wants to go to the toilet, but he can't come out. How can he go out without eating?"
Luo Lan glanced at the emperor lying on the bed and asked Liu Xi:
"Did the Emperor suffer from severe diarrhea after the meal and refuse to eat?"
Hearing her ask this, Liu Xi nodded heavily,
"Yes, it turns out it's not that serious. The emperor can still eat normally, but he has to defecate more often than ordinary people, and he often retches. The medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor has no effect. But recently, the emperor wants to go to the toilet after eating. , the stool is not clean, and sometimes the stool is still watery, so the emperor refuses to eat. No, he has not eaten properly for three days. I am really worried... I am really worried..."
At this point, Liu Xi suddenly wiped away tears. Luo Lan glanced at the emperor who was lying on the bed, half asleep, and whispered to Leng Yu:
"Ms. Sir, I think judging from the emperor's symptoms, he is not suffering from dysentery, but intestinal wind. This is a chronic disease. If you continue to treat it as dysentery, I am afraid that not only will it not be cured, but it will also delay the condition."
Leng Yu hurriedly asked, "What should we do?"
"First convince him to let me check his pulse, determine the cause, and then treat him accordingly."
After Leng Yu pursed his lips and nodded, he came to the dragon bed with a solemn expression, and whispered to the emperor who was holding his stomach and huddled together:
"Father, did you hear what Lan'er said? The symptoms she mentioned are very similar to your symptoms. Why don't you let her diagnose your pulse? Even if it can't cure you, it can relieve your pain."
Perhaps because of his stomachache, the emperor's face twisted into a ball. He exhaled and said slowly:
"No need, I know, I am already dead soon. Hurry up... hurry up and go back and do what I say, otherwise, I'm afraid it will be too late."
Seeing that he could not persuade the emperor, Leng Yu had no choice but to turn around and helplessly shook his head at Luo Lan.
Seeing this, Luo Lan took two steps forward, took a deep breath, and said calmly:
"Your Majesty, there are not many people in this world who want to die, right? Don't you really want to cherish the opportunity to live? Although I can't guarantee that you will be cured, I can also guarantee that you will be less painful. Erchen feels , you are the emperor, even if you have to leave, you must do so with dignity, I hope you will think twice."
Luo Lan's words may have touched the emperor's heart for a while. He suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the floating golden bed curtains on the dragon bed, and murmured:
"I know that I have done a lot of wrong things over the years, and God is punishing me, so I am not afraid of death. After death, there is nothing wrong with being able to reunite with Yu'er."
"But are you safe to go now? As you just said, Daning Country is not yet stable, and Leng Yu's injury has not yet healed. How can we support this country? If you go like this, you are not afraid of how many of you will Are your two sons fighting over your throne?"
