C17 (2/2)
Yun Duan got up and gently caressed his back. With some heartache, he asked, ”Is there really nothing Emperor Chen can do about this?”
After he calmed down, he felt his body relax and leaned against the cloud. His sister's embrace was still the same as he remembered. Although it was small at that time, he still felt very warm.
”There's no other way!”
Yun Duan sighed. ”Then the doctors must have a theory, right?”
”If the doctors had a way, I wouldn't stay like this forever. Sister, this is fate!”
”Do you want some water?”
Yun Duan took a handkerchief and carefully wiped away the sweat on his forehead. He was only so young, yet he had to endure such pain. It was truly torture.
”Sister, I have something to tell you today!”
Yun Duan lightly patted her back, just like when she was young, he would always coquettishly lean into her embrace. Now that she thought about it, only those days were the happiest.
”No rush, speak slowly!”
”Prince Zhong came yesterday. He said that there might be something strange happening in the imperial court a few days ago!”
Yun Duan raised his eyebrows. Prince Chong?
”You mean only Long Wind?”
He felt that it was good to be lying in Yun Duan's embrace. Furthermore, Yun Duan didn't push him away, so he felt that he didn't want to get up.
”Sister knows Wei?”
”Un, I've met him before, so I'm not familiar with him!”
”Could it be because of the arrival of the envoys from the Divine Mountain that something happened?”
”I don't know if anything has happened to him. He has been active in the previous dynasty, so we should know about it before we do. Since he said it, something will definitely happen!”
This Yun Duan didn't really care about it. Emperor Chen hadn't died yet, and moreover, based on the strength he threw her out that day, he would probably be able to hold on for a few more years.
When he was on the verge of death, he could push her away. Facing this Myriad Empire that was so big that everyone wanted to crazily seize it, he wanted her to face a pile of mess. All of his direct blood vessels were dead, and if there was only one thing to do, he might have already given up.
If that was the case, it would be too sad.
Or could it be that at the very end, such a huge Thousand Empire Mountain would end up in the hands of a vile spawn like her?
Is it possible?
Emperor Chen would not give in so easily. Even if he was already considered to have no more successors, with his personality, how could he let her easily sit in that position?
”Sister, you must always be more careful. Since I have already become like this, no one will blame me anymore. But now that you're back, the entire God Realm will probably be in great turmoil again!”
Yun Duan patted the busy road gently and said in a faint voice, ”It's fine, I know what to do!”
During these three hundred years, many powers wanted to find her. The closer they got to her, the more they wanted to find her. With each and every loss of the Emperor's son, the various powers' desire to kill her intensified.
However, no one expected that she would be in such a desolate place. Over the past three hundred years, she hadn't died completely. No one knew whether Emperor Chen had breathed a sigh of relief or not.
However, based on the situation he was in, he should be relieved. After all, she had called out to his father for so long. No matter what, she was the child of his most beloved woman.
It didn't matter if she hated it or not, but she had come back anyway, so she said that anything could happen when people were going through ups and downs.
”Do you wear the longevity lock properly?” Lu Li picked himself up from the cloud. His body was really weak, there wasn't much meat left, and Yun Duan's bones were all broken.
”Wear it!”
”Then that's good, this Life Opening Lock must not leave your body, not even for a moment!”
Yun Duan blinked and asked, ”Why?”
She did not believe in this, and she did not need this to protect her life. If she were to die, she would have died in the mountains, so how could she return alive?
”Sister!” Yun Duan slowly made him lie down on the bed and lightly covered him with the blanket. ”Alright, don't talk anymore. I will wear it well, no matter the reason, I will wear it well. You take care of your illness too!”
”Sister! You wait for me to go to sleep, okay?”
He would probably not be able to enjoy this warmth for more than a few days. His body was becoming more and more useless.
Yun Duan looked at the water vapor in her eyes and opened her mouth. Her throat was in great pain. ”Good!”
He closed his eyes slowly, laughing, his bony hands gripping the clouds.
Yun Duan felt a lump in her throat as she patted the road lightly. Time and again, over three hundred years, things had changed when she left. When she returned, everything had changed.
Lu Ling fell into a deep sleep, and her dreams were not peaceful. She gently let go of his hand, pulled the blanket up, and then opened the curtain to walk out.
Yun Duan raised her eyes and swept them with her gaze before lowering her voice. ”Your prince has fallen asleep. Be careful of what you do and don't disturb him. The windows will be closed after a short while, so remember to breathe normally too!”
”Yes sir!”
After walking out of the palace, he took a look at the weather outside. It was already autumn, but it was still so hot, making people anxious.
She glanced at the servant girl that had followed her out, thought for a moment, and then said, ”In the future, regardless of what happens, you princes must immediately come and notify me, understand?”
”Yes sir!”
