Chapter 804 Chen Keyao

Chen Keyan's "Wu Princess Mansion" is located within the imperial city and outside the palace city.

In fact, according to Nanchen regulations, all princes and princesses who reach adulthood are required to move out of the imperial city and open a mansion in the outer city.

For example, King Li and King Tian, ​​their residences are in the outer city.

Although Chen Keyan is an adult, because she is very popular with Emperor Chen, in order to facilitate her entry into the palace and become a saint, Emperor Chen additionally allowed her to open a palace in the imperial city...

By the way, Su Xian walked up the long stone stairs and pushed open a stone door. What he saw was a dazzling light.

Everyone waved their sleeves to cover themselves up.

After his eyes adjusted, Su Xian took a closer look. It turned out to be a garden outside. As far as he could see, he could see pavilions, trees, and pleasant scenery.

"We are in a rockery. Don't worry. Young Master, Dr. Li, and everyone else come with me."

As the "landlord" of the place, Chen Keyan took the initiative to lead the way.

Everyone followed, and one by one they came out of the exit disguised as a rockery.

"Why is there no one in this huge garden?" Guan Ping looked around with a wary expression.

"We must be careful. It is said that King Li's people have surrounded the imperial city. We don't know what the situation is yet." Su Xian reminded.

"..."

Under the leadership of Chen Keyan, everyone left the garden cautiously.

If King Li really breaks through the imperial city, then the princess's mansion will not be spared. They must be careful, otherwise, this will become an "unsolicited attack".

Unexpectedly, as soon as they walked out of the garden and came to a road made of bluestone, they met a group of soldiers wearing strong armor!

Everyone's hearts trembled, and they were stunned for a moment.

Oops!

Too bad luck...

There were more than thirty soldiers in that team. When they first saw Su Xian and his entourage, they were stunned, but they immediately clasped their fists and saluted Chen Keyan, saying:

"I will wait to see Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

"..."

Su Xian and others were secretly relieved when they saw this. It turned out that these were the personal guards of the princess's palace... From this, it can be judged that the imperial city has not been breached yet.

That's it!
This group of princess palace guards was led by a school captain. The school captain was very excited, as if he had the backbone, and said happily:

"Your Highness, where have you been these days? Fortunately, Your Highness is finally back..."

"What's going on? Please tell me in detail?" Chen Keyan ordered.

"Yes."

"..."

According to the captain, Emperor Chen had not shown up since Chen Keyan left dozens of days ago, and all the civil and military officials refused to see him.

As time passed, rumors suddenly spread in the city.

Some people said that Emperor Chen was critically ill, while others said that Emperor Chen had died long ago, and the blame for Emperor Chen's death was forcibly placed on Chen Keyan.

Yesterday, King Li suddenly attacked from all sides, controlled the entire gate of Jiangning City, and sent troops to surround the imperial city.

Its purpose is self-evident.

There was a moment of panic in the city. People closed their homes and did not dare to cry at night, for fear of being involved in this whirlpool of power and profit...

Just as he was talking, Chen Keyan and his party came to the living room of the mansion.

All the important figures in the princess mansion were there, such as the chief historian, counselors, commanders of personal guards, etc. Chen Keyan introduced them to Su Xian and the others one by one.

As for how these cronies of the Princess Mansion were surprised by Chen Keyan's sudden appearance, how they were suspicious of the identity of Su Xian and others, how Chen Keyan explained it, etc., we will not mention it for now.

The top priority is to sneak into Emperor Chen's chamber immediately.

Only by figuring out what is going on with Emperor Chen can we make follow-up plans.

After Chen Keyan told her cronies not to reveal her return to Jiangning City, she led Su Xian and his party to her study.

The entrance to the underground passage leading to Emperor Chen's bedroom is in this study.

Before entering the cave, Su Xian looked at Chen Keyan and asked teasingly:
"This passage should be safe and unobstructed, right?"

"Young master, you can rest assured, there will be absolutely no problems on this road!" Chen Keyan was full of confidence.

"Well, seeing that the sky is getting dark, let's hurry up and set off."

"Everyone, slow down..."

"..."

In this way, Su Xian, Li Qingniu, Zhou Wei, Yang Zhilan, Guan Ping, and dozens of other extraordinary masters entered the cave one by one.

As expected, this underground passage was unimpeded. In less than two cups of tea, they had reached the ground floor of Emperor Chen's chamber.

"We're finally here. We'll know what's going on with Emperor Chen right away!" Su Xian clapped his hands.

"Without further delay, let's go up now." Li Qingniu urged.

There was a stone staircase in front of everyone, which was very steep. At the top of the staircase, there was a machine that opened the mechanism.

"Wait a minute!"

Unexpectedly, Chen Keyan suddenly stood in front of everyone. Her expression was slightly unnatural, as if she had remembered something, she was squirming, hesitant, and very entangled.

"Miss Chen, why is this happening?" Su Xian wondered. Seeing that there was only the last stretch of the road left, why did she go crazy?

"Ms. Chen, do you have any scruples?" Li Qingniu frowned secretly. This was Emperor Chen's bedroom after all. He thought to himself, Chen Keyan must be a coward, right?
Zhou Wei and Guan Ping were also very surprised. Everyone looked at her to see what she had to say.

Chen Keyan struggled for a while, and finally walked to Su Xian and whispered: "Young master once made a promise to the slave family not to provoke Yaoyao."

"..."

It turned out that Chen Keyan suddenly remembered that she had just learned from a close confidant that after the Jiangning City incident, King Tian and her sister Chen Keyao entered the palace together.

If nothing unexpected happens, Chen Keyao will definitely be waiting by Emperor Chen's side.

They suddenly appeared in Emperor Chen's chamber, and there was no chance that they would meet Chen Keyao face to face...

That didn't matter about the others, the only thing she was worried about was Su Xian. What if Su Xian did something bad and kidnapped her sister?
Her sister Chen Keyao is so innocent, so cute and beautiful, and she has just begun to fall in love, and she can't stand the sweet words of men.

"Who is Yaoyao?"

Su Xian looked confused and didn't understand for a moment.

Chen Keyan looked at him angrily and thought to herself: "Young master is so bad. He said before, 'Princess Nan Chenyue is mine,' and now he pretends not to know who Yaoyao is."

"Oh, so it's Miss Chen's younger sister, Princess of Yue Kingdom Chen Keyao, I remembered."

Su Xian suddenly realized.

Then he grinned, so Chen Keyan was worried about this?

As a sister, she is really conscientious. To be honest, Su Xian was quite moved.

"Don't worry. Although I promised you not to provoke Yaoyao after I was drunk, a gentleman's words are hard to follow, and what has been said must be kept." Su Xian promised with a smile.

"Master, don't call her 'Yao Yao'." Chen Keyan felt a little relieved, but Su Xian's smile always gave her a sense of nonsense.

But right now she has no other option.

They must immediately climb the stairs and appear in Emperor Chen's chamber without any further delay.

If Chen Keyao happens to be waiting by Emperor Chen's side and cannot avoid Su Xian, she can only be more careful and try to avoid too much contact between the two...

"Let's go!"

Chen Keyan finally turned around and climbed up the stone stairs first, leaving others to follow.

Walking to the end of the stairs, Chen Keyan personally turned on the power amplifier.

Suddenly, a huge bluestone above everyone's heads made a roaring sound. As the stone powder fell, the huge stone slowly moved away, and bright light was projected down.

Arrived!

They finally arrived at Emperor Chen's bedroom!

……

……

Time goes back to an hour ago.

Emperor Chen's bedroom.

In the huge palace, Emperor Chen was lying on the dragon cave in his clothes. He looked much thinner than he had been a few decades ago. His appearance was haggard, his eyes were closed, and he was still in a coma.

A few feet away from the dragon's collapse stood a 1.5-meter-tall girl.

This little girl is about fifteen or sixteen years old, and she looks very pretty. Because she is still young, the baby fat on her face has not disappeared, and she looks very chubby and cute.

She is none other than Chen Keyan's sister, one of the "Four Beauties in the World", Princess Chen Keyao of the Southern Chenyue Kingdom!

As a princess, it goes without saying that her clothes are luxurious and decent. The luxurious and decent clothes make her feel good and happy. She is like a porcelain doll or an angel, exquisite and impeccable.

Especially her big eyes, clear and pure, very cute.

In addition, she held in her hand a beautiful rag doll that was half a foot long.

That is her toy.

However, Chen Keyao, the princess of the Yue Kingdom who is like an angel, does not see a smile at this moment.

There was a glimmer of light in her big, clear and pure eyes, and her little hand holding the beautiful rag doll unconsciously held it tightly.

She was very worried and sad, and walked step by step towards the unconscious Chen Di on the dragon's roof.

Finally, she walked up to Long Tao and unconsciously let go of the beautiful rag doll in her hand. She threw herself on Emperor Chen and cried:
"Father...Father, what's wrong with you? Wake up quickly and play with Yaoyao...Father..."

"..."

In fact, Chen Keyao knew what Emperor Chen was doing.

But she couldn't accept this cruel fact, and she didn't want to.

In her little heart, Emperor Chen was her sky. How could the sky collapse?
Do not!
She can't take it!
She fell on Chen Di's body, crying and crying, tears rolled down, and wet the quilt a lot.

After crying for a while, Chen Keyao seemed to be clearer.

Because she thought of her elder sister who always cared for her and treated her well, she had disappeared for a long time, and she was even more afraid, fearing that she would lose her father and her elder sister.

The clear and pure eyes were full of fear and confusion.

……

at the same time.

In the side hall next to Emperor Chen's bedroom.

Prince Tian, ​​as well as Prince Tian and Chen Keyan's mother and concubine, were all there. The two imperial concubines were sitting at the top, and Prince Tian was accompanying the Prime Minister at the bottom.

The two imperial concubines are almost identical because they were twins who entered the palace together and married Emperor Chen as their concubines.

The three of them all looked gloomy, silent to each other, worried, and sighed from time to time.

It is worth mentioning that the Queen did not come because the current rebellious King Li was the Queen's son...

"Haven't the imperial doctors discussed your Majesty's illness and come to a conclusion yet?"

Chen Keyan's mother-in-law suddenly spoke, breaking the silence.

King Tian got up and replied: "There is no result yet, but it will be soon."

"Hey, at such a critical moment, I don't know where Yan'er went? If she were here, it would be impossible for Prince Li to..." Prince Tian's mother-in-law stopped mid-sentence.

Then he glanced at King Tian, ​​and finally he could only sigh.

King Tian lowered his head in shame.

"What's the situation outside the imperial city?" Concubine Chen Keyan asked again.

"Although King Li surrounded the imperial city, he did not dare to act rashly because he did not know the specific situation of his father." King Tian replied.

"I remember that there are hundreds of thousands of troops stationed outside the city. Their duty is to guard the capital and protect the country. But the situation is so critical now, why don't they go into the city to capture the rebels?" King Tian's mother-in-law was very angry.

King Tian replied:

"Those hundreds of thousands of soldiers only obey your Majesty's orders. They dare not act without your Majesty's orders!"

"Hey, it would be great if Yan'er was still here." Princess Tian sighed again.

"I'm afraid Yan'er can't count on her. Even if she was outside and heard about the chaos in Jiangning City, she wouldn't be able to grow a pair of wings and fly back to the palace." Chen Keyan's mother-in-law said.

"..."

King Tian lowered his head in shame again, his face slightly red.

After a long time, he raised his head and said:
"Right now, I just hope that my father's illness can be cured. Even if he cannot be cured, it is best to wake up. As long as my father wakes up, this crisis can be ended."

As soon as he finished speaking, a eunuch suddenly reported outside the side hall: "Reporting to the two empresses and His Royal Highness King Tian, ​​the imperial doctors have discussed the results and are seeking an audience outside the hall."

Wang Tian looked hopeful, got up and said: "Please come in quickly."

After a while, an imperial doctor came in and greeted him tremblingly.

When King Tian and the two imperial concubines saw that he looked ugly, their hearts sank suddenly, but they still did not give up and asked, "What's going on? Let me tell you as soon as possible."

The imperial doctor knelt down directly on the ground and said: "Please forgive me for not being good at studying. Your Majesty is extremely ill and I can't do anything. Please punish me and your Highness."

"Impenetrable... strength!" There was a loud bang in King Tian's head. He was counting on Emperor Chen to wake up just now, but in the end...

"Your Majesty!" The two princesses cried on the spot.

"..."

What they didn't realize was that in front of the side door of the side hall, under the cover of the gauze curtain, the Princess of Yue Kingdom Chen Keyao came here at some point.

Naturally, she also heard the bad news about the imperial doctor.

Her father is terminally ill... Chen Keyao's little heart is like a magnitude [-] earthquake, shaking violently, shaking the world, and the sky in her heart is about to collapse!

In her big, clear and pure eyes, hot tears flowed down like a dam, unable to stop.

Also, the beautiful rag doll she was holding in her hand fell to the ground, covered in dust...

In the side hall.

After all, King Tian was a man and stronger. He said loudly: "Fortunately, as long as my father is still alive, King Li will not dare to act rashly!"

Although the two princesses were crying, they couldn't help but nod their heads after hearing this, thinking it was reasonable.

However, the imperial doctor immediately poured a basin of cold water on him and said:
"Your Majesty King Tian, ​​actually... His Majesty's illness has reached a very dangerous point. I estimate that Your Majesty will... after dark today..."

"What's going to happen?" King Tian's heart suddenly sank, and his eyes were bloodshot.

"After dark today, I'm afraid your majesty will...be buried in heaven!" The imperial doctor prostrated himself on the ground, trembling all over, and did not dare to raise his head to look at the faces of King Tian and others.

"No! You are lying, you are talking nonsense, come here, pull this person out..." King Tian could not accept such bad news, and he almost went crazy.

In fact, this is not to blame King Tian for going crazy.

Because if King Li learns of this, I am afraid he will send troops to attack the imperial city tonight...

As a result, the consequences will be absolutely unbearable for him!
Fortunately, the two imperial concubines still had a shred of reason, and they grabbed King Tian and waved the imperial doctor to leave. The imperial doctor, as if he had been given a new lease of life, fled out of the side hall.

In front of the side door of the side hall, behind the curtain, Chen Keyao's little body swayed suddenly, as if she had been hit by a huge stone.

She was so lost and pale that she didn't care to pick up the doll on the ground. She turned around and ran back to Emperor Chen's bedroom wiping her tears.

Who will save my father?

I don’t want my father to leave!
Chen Keyao let out a childish cry in her heart.
