Chapter 72 (1/1)

“Su Su Su” Wanyan Xu was so horror-struck by this situation that had arisen so abruptly that he had almost lost his wits He persisted in this state until Su Yi, who had finally used up the last of his strength and could no longer hold himself up, toppled softly into his ar last, his mind caave a forceful roar that tore at one's heart and cracked one's lungs: “Su Su” And then he tightly hugged Su Yi's broken and limp body, in panic he wildly cried out: “Somebody come Zi Liu Zi Liu Su Su, what happened to you? What is happening to you?”

Blood was still spilling out in large spurts from Su Yi'sflustered, Wanyan Xu hurriedly covered hisdown his face and he implored Su Yi with a choked voice: “Su Su Su Su don’t throw up any you not to throw up any and the rest, who had been standing to the side had also rushed to crowd around Su Yi Suddenly, they heard a genteel voice say loudly: “Everybody, give way Your Majesty please reet rid of all the residual blood in his body” As it turned out, the voice belonged to none other than Zi Liu She had gone to the back room to fetch a cloak for Wanyan Xu when she suddenly heard his voice coed drastically and he was calling for her When she cahly understood what had happened Now, she quickly stepped forward and saw that Su Yi's chest, as well as Wanyan Xu's robes, was sodden with fresh blood At the sight, Zi Liu could not stop her own face fro Su Yi's wrist, she took his pulse [1] for a little while before slowly getting back onto her feet, while hanging her head

Just fro, etcetera could clearly understand how the situation stood Wanyan Xu eed at the front of Zi Liu's jacket and looked at her with crazed eyes as he loudly hissed between his teeth: “No Su Su’s only vo blood, Zi Liu, I [2] order you to save his life I know you will be able to save his life Zi Liu”

Suddenly he heard a s: “Wanyan [3], don’t be like this” He quickly looked down at Su Yi, only to see that a melancholic smile had taken up residence at the corners of Su Yi's blood-stained lips Laboriously, Su Yi raised a hand and wiped away the tears that had covered Wanyan Xu's face before saying tenderly: “Everyone has to die at soo I will not be at peace” Su Yi took a glance around the whole room and saw Wanyan Shuo The boy had been scared silly and at this tirabbed his hand and said: “Child, don’t cry You should you should forget all about me quickly I in this life, I am already deeply in the debt of you and your father if if you still shed tears over me it is not worth itthat a monarch should do”

At this point, he had to stop and gasp a few times for air, suddenly a fresh burst of fishy sweetness rose in his throat and again, he spit out another large mouthful of blood At the moment, in his heart, he had ten-thousand words that he wished to say, but he was unable to speak even one word and could only try to convey theain The look in his eyes was one of manifold reluctance to part, but also said that he was helpless to prevent it

Zi Liu's heart was greatly pained; this disease that caused the afflicted to vomit blood in such quantity was invariably a death sentence, but when she saw the look in Su Yi's eyes, a feeling of adamantine resolution unexpectedly took hold in her heart and she was deter skills she had learned in her lifetiainst the disease in a bid to save his life Therefore, she quickly said: “Your Majesty, since Young Master is not vo blood for now, quickly carry him to the bed on the second floor It is important that he can lie down horizontally now Your servant your servant will do her utmost to try to save his life”

Wanyan Xu hurriedly picked up Su Yi and made to carry him to the second storey, but suddenly, he saw that all thein front of hiuilty of a heinous criht, he should have been put to death but because of Your Majesty's nanimity, he was spared the death penalty Now that he is beset with serious illness, it must be Heaven's will We beseech Your Majesty to do what is best for our state and our lands [4]” Thebehind their words was crystal clear --- it didn’t matter if Su Yi died because he was o

“All of you give way, I demand of you” Wanyan Xu looked at these important ministers viciously, the look in his eyes was akin to a olfthreatened with death His Su Su, his pitiful Su Su, he was the one who had caused Su Su’s doo up the country and the land, why bring up guilty of a heinous cri out, why did these people still refuse to let him off, why did they still refuse to let Wanyan Xu off? He saw that the esture of obeisance, but they et out of his way

Fury and panic finally overtook his heart and he yelled: “All of you will you only be satisfied when he breathes his last in front of your eyes? Just how far do you intend to push et lost At the most I won’t be the Eht?” He looked at Su Yi, who had fallen into an unconscious state in his e cut into pieces, such was his pain He pressed his face against that icy-cold cheek, with tears pouring down his face like rain, he said: “Su Su, I won’t be the Eo with you We'll look for a place that is just like the Garden of the Peaches of Immortality [5] and we'll live there, just the two of us We will no longer be burdened with responsibility towards the country and people, ill no longer be constrained by the etiquette required of us by ministers, we just the two of us”

The gatheredto step aside Yu Cang and Concubine Yin looked upon this scene and their hearts were secretly rejoicing Suddenly they saw that Zi Yan had stepped forward, after looking around at all the ministers she said in a solemn voice: “Honourable sirs, please leave Thenow is to save a life Shortly, when the dust has settled, His Majesty will naturally give an account of this matter to all of you” When the crowd heard her words, they did not find theot a shock He stared at her closely, but Zi Yan did not give hilance

“I’ll say it one et out ofain and the tone of his words harboured a sinister coldness that had not been present before He didn't care anyo to hell for all he cared He only wanted his Su Su, as long as he could once again have his Su Su standing in front of hi If anyone dared to hinder him, he would kill that person

“Withdraw, all of you Or are you trying to force an abdication? As Zi Yan has said, you will have an explanation in the days to come At the moment, the Eht frame of mind There is no need for you to press him so insistently I [6] will have all of you withdra Or do you mean to say that just because the Emperor wishes to save soe a rebellion?” At this critical juncture, the Eed a few lances with each other, they finally hastily withdrew and said as one: “Your subject would never dare”
