C142 (1/2)
When Qin Feng heard the Eunuch Li's words, a trace of disappointment flashed across her face.
”Your majesty, don't think too much. There's nothing wrong with your body.”
Qin Feng tucked the emperor in and looked at the emperor's face with concern.
”Qin Feng, stop comforting us. We know our own bodies very well.”
The emperor rarely saw Qin Feng being so warm, he knew that he was running out of time.
Qin Feng let out a light sigh, stood up and walked in front of Xuanyuan Zhiling, and pulled at the corner of her clothes.
The two of them found an excuse and went outside the bedchamber.
”Qin Feng, tell me the truth, how is father's condition?”
Xuanyuan Zhiling's tone carried some anxiety, as he knew that he was the one who truly cared for the Emperor.
”The Emperor was actually fine, it's just that the poison from the voodoo Gu caused slight damage to his internal organs.”
As Qin Feng spoke the truth, she noticed that Xuanyuan Zhiling's expression became even uglier.
”Does that mean father really doesn't have much time left?”
Xuanyuan Zhiling's expression became somewhat complicated.
”It's just a physical injury, but it won't be fatal for a year or so. As long as I take good care of myself.”
Qin Feng said indifferently, as if she was thinking about something.
”That's good. Let's hurry back so that father won't be worried about us.”
Xuanyuan Zhiling walked in, and Qin Feng followed after him.
”What are you guys doing out for so long? Am I going to die soon? ”
The king looked indifferent. He seemed to have accepted his illness.
”father, don't think too much. Qin Feng just told me that your body was actually unharmed.”
Xuanyuan Zhiling said with a relaxed expression, as if all of this was real.
However, this was not something that could escape the eyes of the Emperor. The Emperor only smiled when he heard this.
”Don't lie to father, father knows that his body is not as big as it was before.”
The emperor's face showed no fear, instead, he stared straight at Xuanyuan Zhiling.
”father …”
Xuanyuan Zhiling still wanted to say something, but he was suddenly stopped by the Emperor.
”Fourth brother, there are so many sons of the father. They are either useless or are imprisoned …”
When the Emperor spoke up to this point, his expression was tinged with sadness.
”father, don't say anymore.”
Xuanyuan Zhiling said indifferently.
”No, father will definitely say it this time.”
The emperor stretched out his hand to stop Xuanyuan Zhiling, and held onto his hand.
”father knows that his body is not as healthy as it was in the past, and perhaps he is no longer able to care about the matters of the court, so he wants you to be the crown prince.”
The emperor's words caused Xuanyuan Zhiling, Qin Feng and all the Eunuch Li present to be completely shocked.
”father, what did you say?”
Xuanyuan Zhiling did not dare believe his ears, and asked with furrowed brows.
”I said that I would grant you the title of Crown Prince. Are you willing?”
The emperor's expression showed traces of gentleness.
Everyone went silent as Xuanyuan Zhiling suddenly kneeled in front of the Emperor's dragon bed.
”Thank you, father. I will definitely do my best to make this crown prince my son.”
A look of gratification flashed across Qin Feng's face, and Eunuch Li nodded.
”That's right, this is the last wish of the father, as long as you can help us properly manage the affairs of the court, you will be the emperor of our Phantom Fire Kingdom in the future.”
After the emperor finished speaking, he placed his hand on his chest and lightly coughed a few times.
”father, are you alright?”
Xuanyuan Zhiling stood up nervously, his eyes staring straight at the emperor's face.
The emperor shook his head slightly, signalling Xuanyuan Zhiling not to be nervous.
”I'm fine, just that father has some things he needs to tell you.”
The emperor's face revealed traces of exhaustion, as if speaking would consume a lot of his physical strength.
”father, if you have something to say, say it.”
Xuanyuan Zhiling attached himself to the emperor's side and looked at his face with certainty.
The emperor extended his hand, indicating that Qin Feng should go as well. Qin Feng pointed at her own nose, and then walked over to the emperor in surprise.
”Your Majesty, why are you looking for Qin Feng?”
Qin Feng did not understand what the emperor meant. After all, Xuanyuan Zhiling was his prince.
”Qin Feng, although we know that you are a girl, we are smart.” Qin Feng said. ”Qin Feng, although we know that you are a girl, but we are smart.
The emperor's eyes carried his affirmation and support for Qin Feng.
Qin Feng did not resist, and stood beside Xuanyuan Zhiling, listening to the Emperor.
”I know that if you were to suddenly become Crown Prince, it would definitely set off a huge uproar.”
The Emperor sighed softly as he spoke of this, seeming to be slightly sad.
”father, this son knows.”
Xuanyuan Zhiling lowered his eyelids, and a complicated expression quickly flashed across his face.
The Emperor sighed lightly, and a complicated expression swiftly flashed on his face.
”Your son, go ahead. With father here, they wouldn't dare to be too arrogant.”
Although the emperor was not feeling well, his every word was loud and clear.
When Xuanyuan Zhiling and Qin Feng left, Qin Feng did not say a word.
”Why aren't you talking?”
Xuanyuan Zhiling shot Qin Feng a glance, and said indifferently.
”Have you thought of how to deal with the ministers who oppose you in the court?”
Qin Feng said coldly, her eyes staring at the side of Xuanyuan Zhiling's face.
Xuanyuan Zhiling turned and looked at Qin Feng, a complicated expression quickly flashing across her face.
”I'd like to hear what you think.”
Xuanyuan Zhiling was giving Qin Feng a question, as he stared at Qin Feng with interest.
Seeing that, Qin Feng laughed indifferently, the corners of her mouth raised slightly in ridicule.
”What do you mean?”
Xuanyuan Zhiling frowned when he saw Qin Feng's expression.
”Don't you usually have a lot of ideas? Why are you asking me now?”
When Qin Feng said this, she looked as if she was watching a joke.
