C22 (1/2)

She had already been sitting there quietly for more than two hours. Qin Ni looked at her with some worry, and Qiongying wanted to go up and talk to her, but she felt that her master wanted her to be alone.

The two female servants could only wait quietly by the side.

After another hour, the rain outside had become a bit heavier, and Yun Duan's eyes had become hollow.

At this moment, Mu Yi walked in from outside. Upon seeing Yun Duan, she bowed and said, ”Third King, the Sixth Prince invites you!”

Yun Duan blinked and looked at Mu Yi with some surprise. She subconsciously sounded a little anxious, ”Has something happened to the Sixth Prince?”

Could it be that his condition had worsened?

Yun Duan stood up, but Mu Yi shook her head, ”No, the Prince has only ordered for the three princesses to be invited over!”

Yun Duan quickly headed towards the Spiritual Palace. She didn't know why he would call her that so suddenly.

Qin Ni, who was following behind, wanted to hold an umbrella for Yun Duan, but the speed of the cloud was too fast. She couldn't keep up with it at all. She could only watch as the rain soaked Yun Duan's hair, and even her back seemed to be drenched.

As soon as he entered the hall, he heard a loud cough. Yun Duan furrowed her brows and strode inside.

When he opened the curtain, he saw that Brother Lu was coughing until his face was red. He was out of breath and the servant girl hurriedly carried him on her back.

Yun Duan's heart ached a little as she felt both pity and helplessness. This kind of illness was something that even sinking the emperor could do nothing about.

After he finished coughing, Lu Li laid down slowly. He had his eyes closed and looked very tired.

When the servant girl saw Yun Duan, she prepared to bow, but Yun Duan raised her lily-white hand to let them out.

When it was quiet in the room, Cloud slowly sat down beside the bed on the main road. His eye sockets were already deeply sunken, and his entire face was emaciated. His sallow skin showed just how serious his illness was.

After a long while, the busy road gradually calmed down. He opened his eyes and saw the clouds sitting by his bed. He wanted to flip it over.

Yun Duan quickly suppressed him and said in an anxious voice, ”Lie still!”

However, he could not just walk away like this. He was the last prince of the Myriad Temple, and even if he died, he would not be able to hold on until the day he could no longer hold on.

”Sister!” A weak voice called out from the cloud.

Yun Duan leaned forward, worry written all over her face. ”I'm here!”

”Do you know what happened two days ago?”

Yun Duan nodded. ”I know!”

”Cough, cough, cough …” Once again, he violently coughed, and Yun Duan felt that he was about to cough out his lungs. She called for a servant girl to feed him water, and Yun Duan supported him as he slowly lay down.

”I know you're very worried, but the servants also said that Immersed Emperor was fine. No matter how hard the previous dynasty tried, they couldn't stir up any trouble!”

”It's not a good idea to stay in that seat any longer,” Lu Li shook his head, ”If this happens the first time, there will be a second and then a third time. They will force him into a corner sooner or later!”

Yun Duan originally wanted to say that the Immersion Emperor had always walked a path where there was no way back, but looking at such a busy road, she couldn't bring herself to do so.

”My body definitely won't be able to handle it. I can only rely on Sister now!”

Yun Duan wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead with the handkerchief. The rain outside the window was getting heavier and heavier. It was so heavy that it was hard to even hear the sound of it hitting the roof of the hall.

Qin Ni stood behind the curtain and looked at the servant girl beside her. After thinking for a while, she finally spoke: ”Master, if you don't want to change your clothes first!”

Yun Duan blinked his eyes. Only then did he have the time to take a look at the dress on his body. However, his shoulders were wet. Although it was somewhat chilly inside his body, it was nothing serious.

”No need!”

Only after hearing what Qin Ni had said did Zou Chuan carefully look at the clouds. Seeing that her hair was a bit moist, he silently cursed his carelessness. It seemed that he was even blinded by his sickness.

”Sister, please change into your dress first!”

He wanted his sister to be healthy.

Seeing the worry in Lu Sheng's eyes, Yun Duan could only get up and go to the side chamber. She changed into a new set of clothes and dried her hair before returning to the side of the bed.

”How come you look more serious today?”

The cat pursed its lips, and its thin chin looked like it was about to sink.

”This body is just like this on rainy days. If the humidity is heavier, it will be more severe!”

Yun Duan lowered her eyes, but there was nothing she could do.

As he gazed at the clouds, his black eyes lost their luster after being tormented by the illness. Although he was very much like the Emperor Chen, his temperament was still much more gentle and not gloomy.

”The reason I called you here today is also because I have something to tell you!”

Yun Duan nodded. ”Say it!”

”The Myriad Empire Palace cannot live without an owner. Right now, there is still Father supporting it. However, this is not a long-term plan. However, if you want to rule this world, no one can help you!”

Yun Duan knew this, but who would help her in this world? Even if there were loyal people in the previous dynasty, they wouldn't necessarily be on her side.

After all, no matter how powerful a woman was, her strength was limited. She couldn't compare with a man.

”I know one person who can help sister!”

Yun Duan's eyes brightened.

”Si Yan Qing Jun!”

”…”

Yun Duan had never heard of such a person.

”Where is this person now?”
