Chapter 458: Two Imperial Edicts (1/2)

“I pay respect to Your Majesty.” Pei Rumo sounded extremely calm when he gave his greetings.

His Majesty looked for Bai Luochu’s figure for quite a long time, and felt that she had been too tired from the journey to enter the palace immediately after their return. “Why didn’t Divine Physician Bai come over together with you?”

Pei Rumo tightly pursed his lips, and refused to say anything regarding Bai Luochu.

When he saw Pei Rumo shut his mouth, the old emperor felt that his son was afraid of him blaming Bai Luochu. A forced laughter filled the hall, “Haha, I’m not trying to blame her or anything. The journey back was long and arduous, and as a girl it must have been a tiring journey. If she wants to rest before coming over to report to me, I won’t blame her...”

But before he could finish his sentence, Pei Rumo interrupted him.

“At the last juncture in the Desolate Region, both Divine Physician Bai and His Second Highness failed to escape from the ruins. Even after waiting for seven days, I was still unable to rescue the two of them.”

His words were like a clap of thunder that sundered the old emperor’s brain. Only after a long while did he regain his composure. “Wha… What?”

“What I’m trying to say is that both Divine Physician Bai and Pei Qingfeng are still trapped in the ruins. They are most likely dead.”

The old emperor fell into a daze and he nearly fainted. No… He actually collapsed.

When De Quan saw this, he quickly went over to support the old emperor. As he wasn’t able to support the old emperor’s weight, he fell to the ground with him.

“Ouch!” De Quan unconsciously let out a shout when he fell. He fumed with anger when he saw that Pei Rumo was still standing there without plans of helping.

“Your Highness, why are you still standing there and not moving? Can’t you see that His Majesty has already fainted? Hurry up and go call the imperial physician!”

However, Pei Rumo remained still and didn’t bother moving. De Quan had no choice but to place the old emperor to the side and call for the imperial physician himself.

The imperial physician took a look at the old emperor and came up with a diagnosis. Since the old emperor fainted from shock, he would be fine after a short rest.

To stay filial, Pei Rumo could only stay and wait.

De Quan felt a headache coming when he looked at the two of them. One was in a coma now and the other was not far off from being in a coma.

Nobody knew how the news had spread to Ling Xian’er and Honored Tian Yun. When she had heard the news, Ling Xian’er broke her restriction orders and went crying to Honored Tian Yun.

Honored Tian Yun initially wanted to scold Ling Xian’er, but he decided against it after he saw that she was about to go crazy.

He took a long sigh before deciding to tell Ling Xian’er his decision. “I’ll discuss this matter with the sect master. If you’re free, go over to the Desolate Region. Rather than going back to the sect for punishment, you should head over to the Desolate Region to salvage whatever you can.”

Ling Xian’er spun around and left to pack her luggage. As soon as she packed, she bade farewell to Honored Tian Yun.
