Yu Dayan stepped forward quickly, twisted Shen's wrist, and asked sternly: "Bitch, who are you? Why are you trying to murder the emperor?"

Shen glared at him fiercely and gnashed her teeth, "If you want to blame someone, blame this bitch for stealing my love and causing my family to be destroyed! Let her taste the pain of losing her husband today!"

Yu Dayan was furious when he heard this: "It turned out to be you! That day in the Shen Mansion, you faked your own death and framed Queen Qin! This is outrageous!"

Queen Qin, who was standing by, also gradually understood what had happened. She could not help but feel extremely angry and shouted, "What a vicious bitch! Today I will help the emperor get rid of this evil and rectify the harem!"

After saying that, she snatched the long sword from the guard next to her and chopped it hard on Shen's neck!
"Puff!" Blood splattered, Shen screamed, and soon died.

Queen Qin kicked the corpse hard, then sheathed her sword and rushed to Chu Ze.

Chu Ze's chest was covered in blood and he had already fainted.

"Your Majesty! Wake up!" Queen Qin was heartbroken and burst into tears.

Yu Daying hurriedly ordered his men to carry Chu Ze onto the dragon bed and ask the imperial physician to treat him overnight.

Queen Qin stayed by the bed, crying inconsolably.

"Your Majesty, you can't be in trouble! You still have the country to take care of, and I am by your side! If anything happens to you, how will I cope with the future?"

The grief-stricken cries echoed over the Jingyang Palace for a long time.

The imperial physician tried to save him overnight, and the ministers were anxiously waiting outside the palace. Everyone knew that the emperor's life was hanging by a thread!
If he unfortunately passes away, there will be no one to support this prosperous foundation!
The light of dawn shone on the roof of the imperial palace, illuminating the worried face of Queen Qin who had not slept all night.

The emperor was unconscious, the wound on his chest was horrific, and blood soaked through the layers of bandages.

The imperial physician was helpless and could only wait day and night, hoping for a miracle to happen.

"Your Majesty, nothing can happen to you!"

Queen Qin knelt down in front of the bed, crying like rain.

She held her husband's cold hand tightly, her heart aching.

"You still have the country to take care of, and I am by your side!"

"If anything happens to you, how will I deal with it in the future?"

The sad cries echoed in the palace for a long time.

Yu Daying and other ministers were also waiting anxiously outside the palace, with worry written all over their faces.

Your Majesty is the true dragon emperor, revered by all.

Now his life is hanging by a thread, barely alive.

Just when everyone was at a loss, a burst of hurried horse hoof sounds suddenly came from outside the palace gate.

Then, an old voice resounded through the sky:

"Where is Yu Dayan? Come in quickly!"

Following the sound, I saw an old man with white hair and a youthful face, wearing a Taoist robe and looking like an immortal.

He is none other than the teacher of the present emperor, the Taoist priest Li Chunfeng, who is known as “the best fortune teller in the world”!
"Meet Taoist Priest Li!"

Yu Dayan hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, saying respectfully, "I wonder why you have come here so late at night?"

Li Chunfeng waved his hand, signaling Yu Daying to skip the formality.

His eyes were like torches, and he said in a resounding voice: "Yu Qing, I heard that the emperor was assassinated and his life is in danger. I came here to treat him and must save his life!"

When these words were spoken, all the civil and military officials in the court were surprised and delighted.

With the help of Immortal Li, the emperor will be able to turn danger into safety!
"Please invite Taoist Li to the palace!"

Queen Qin rushed over upon hearing the news and eagerly grabbed Li Chunfeng's hand.

Tears blurred her eyes, and she choked up and said, "I beg you to save the emperor! As long as he can wake up, I am willing to be your slave and repay your kindness!"

Li Chunfeng shook his head repeatedly and said sternly, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. As a teacher, I have received the emperor's grace and I should share his worries. Besides, he is the true emperor, and the safety of the country depends on him!"

After saying that, he strode into the bedroom.

Yu Dayan hurriedly ordered his attendants: "Quick, prepare paper, ink, brush and inkstone, and respectfully invite the Heavenly Master to pray!"

In the bedroom, Li Chunfeng was sitting in front of Chu Ze's bed.

He closed his eyes, muttered something, and placed one hand on Chu Ze's wound. His palm was shining with golden light, and a powerful spiritual energy slowly flowed into Chu Ze's body.

The temperature in the room suddenly dropped and a chill came over me.

The ink in the inkstone also began to freeze, emitting a biting cold air.

Everyone held their breath and watched the scene nervously.

Even Queen Qin couldn't help but clench her fists, her nails digging into her flesh.

After a long time, Li Chunfeng slowly opened his eyes.

His face was solemn, and he said in a sad tone: "The emperor's heart was injured, and all his internal organs were damaged. If it weren't for my master's timely arrival, I'm afraid..."

"What are you afraid of?" Queen Qin's heart tightened and she asked quickly.

Li Chunfeng sighed and said quietly, "I'm afraid that the emperor will never wake up again in this lifetime."

"what?"

A thunderous shout exploded above the palace.

Queen Qin felt as if struck by lightning, her legs went weak and she almost fell down.

She trembled and threw herself on Chu Ze's bed, tears streaming down her face.

"Your Majesty! Wake up! You can't..." Queen Qin was heartbroken and burst into tears, "You can't just leave me like this!"

Everyone was extremely sad and stared at the unconscious king on the bed with bated breath.

They are waiting for a miracle to happen.

Outside the palace, countless people spontaneously came to the palace wall and shouted prayers for the emperor.

They knelt in the square, tears streaming down their faces, and devoutly begged God for mercy.

"The emperor is wise and powerful, and the whole world looks up to him. Please pray to the gods to protect him, and don't go."

Accompanied by cries and shouts, the people lit countless candles, illuminating the long night.

The guards at the city gate also turned their backs and wiped their tears.

The next second, they looked up at the sky.

Silently praying for the emperor's safety.

The light of the candle gradually illuminated the sky.

Everyone's eyes were focused in that direction.

Inside the bedroom, the atmosphere was grim and tense, ready to explode.

Qin Yunyun covered her face and cried, almost breaking down emotionally.

Yu Daying and other civil and military officials also looked sad.

"Forgive me for being frank, but the emperor's only hope now lies in the ruins of Kunlun thousands of miles away!" Li Chunfeng murmured.

"What?" Qin Yunyun was shocked when she heard this and asked in a lost voice, "Where is Kunlun Ruins? Is there any life-saving elixir there?"

"Yes." Li Chunfeng nodded slowly. "Kunlun Ruins is at a very high altitude and sparsely populated. It is said that there is a mysterious cave where a magical herb grows."

"Legend has it that this herb was formed from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth when an immortal failed to overcome a calamity in ancient times. It has the power to bring the dead back to life and is considered the greatest treasure in the world."

"Unfortunately, this thing is extremely rare. It grows on a cliff thousands of feet high deep in the Kunlun Ruins. Mortals can't reach it at all, let alone pick it." Li Chunfeng said in a heavy tone.

"But... there is a way..." He changed the subject and looked at Yu Daying meaningfully, "But this plan is full of dangers, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to do it. Unless there is help from an expert..."

Yu Dayan knelt down on the ground and begged: "I beg you to give me some advice! As long as I can save the emperor, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

"What a loyal minister!" Li Chunfeng nodded approvingly, turned around and pointed out the window, "Do you know Zhu Bajie who is in heaven and has received great favors from the Tang Dynasty?"

"Although he doesn't look impressive, he has great powers. He has been living in Huale Temple deep in the forest for a hundred years. You should go there quickly to ask for help."

"I'll leave right away!" Yu Daying was overjoyed when he heard this. He clasped his fists, bowed, and turned to leave.

"Wait." Li Chunfeng stopped him in his tracks. (End of this chapter)
