Dao Fruit

"Ahem..."

On the sick bed, Li Kun, the Lord of Great Rui, had long lost his former majesty and appearance, and looked haggard and old. His prematurely pale hair revealed how huge the energy consumption was.

Beside, several busy doctors were sweating profusely, but they did not dare to stop for a moment. The strong smell of medicine in this hall reminded people all the time that the person living in this hall was a doctor. A terminally ill person.

Logically speaking, based on the age of the emperor, Li Kun was in the prime of life at this time. Even if he was born frail, he should not be like this. However, he died in an accident a few years ago, and then was forcibly told that the soul was taken. After entering the blood prison, although Yang finally recovered, the essence and vitality of the physical body were lost too much, and the soul body also suffered considerable damage. If Qiu Yan hadn't taken action, he would have died long ago.

Even so, there are still many hidden dangers after this, and he only has four or five years of life left at most.

But the emperor is the emperor after all, and he is the center of all things in the world. He sits at the root of dragon energy and is in charge of the dynasty. He can bring together the world's materials to support himself.

Therefore, with the supplementation of many precious medicinal materials and even heavenly materials and earthly treasures, Li Kun's life span was extended a lot.

Not to mention, many of these medicinal materials were selected and cultivated by Qiu Yan himself. They were the most targeted and were intended to prolong the emperor's life.

But birth, aging, sickness and death are part of the laws of heaven and earth. Even a monk who wants to live forever has to go through many disasters, let alone a person who is the most powerful person in the world?

As a human emperor, he has great fortune and great cause and effect. He enjoys the status of supreme being in the world, but there are many restrictions in other aspects. This is also the reason why in ancient times, some emperors pursued immortality, which often caused the collapse of dynasties. In fact, it was a manifestation of the balance between heaven and earth, and the backlash of luck.

The same thing applies to Li Kun.

so. Although Li Kun had many external things to survive, in the past few years, he had suffered from serious and minor illnesses, and he was also burdened with many tedious things. He worked hard and worked hard, and his health had already begun to deteriorate two years ago. It's not surprising that he almost collapsed a year ago and is now terminally ill. It doesn't happen overnight.

That's right, even the ministers in the court. They have all been prepared for it, and now many people have spotted the opportunity and have begun to prepare for the change of generations.

After being busy for nearly two hours, the emperor's complexion improved slightly. His violent wheezing and coughing also stopped, and a little blush appeared on his pale complexion.

Until then. The emperor finally regained his composure, and all the doctors in the palace let out a long sigh of relief.

"How much time do I have?"

Suddenly, Li Kun opened his mouth. Ask this question.

As soon as these words were said, the atmosphere that had just improved suddenly became serious again. Doctors, look at me and I look at you, but no one dares to speak out.

Li Kun's current situation. They knew it and were relieved. This situation may get better if we take a good rest. But the emperor's disciples were almost overdrafted. Even if things got better, they wouldn't have much time left, and they might not be able to last even a year.

As for the worst case scenario, it may happen at any time. Just like just now, if the imperial doctors were not careful, the emperor might not be able to survive. This is also the worst case scenario when the condition improves slightly, and the imperial doctors can breathe a sigh of relief. The reason is because they once again dragged the emperor back from the gate of hell.

However, they know these things in their hearts, but speaking out is another matter. After all, he is the Supreme Human Emperor, and when he dies, there may be future troubles.

Seeing the hesitation of all the imperial doctors, Li Kun himself seemed very open-minded: "But it doesn't matter, I will give the order. If there is an emergency, I won't leave any trouble for you."

"I am guilty!" Seeing the emperor saying this, the imperial doctors also looked a little worried. They first confessed, and then two highly respected people came forward and told their diagnosis.

When Eunuch Wei, who was always waiting by the side, heard this, he couldn't help crying.

"Life and death are fateful. This life of mine was originally saved. Now that I have reached this point, it is enough to rest in peace..." Seeing Eunuch Wei's look, Li Kun actually comforted him.

In fact, he didn't really see through life and death, but he had already prepared for it, and he also knew that not everything would be empty after death. While he was in awe of the underworld, he also had hope.

On the other hand, Li Kun also felt that his life was really wonderful. He had basically done everything he wanted to do and achieved it. Even some of them, the final results exceeded his expectations.

"As soon as I came to the throne, I determined to reform, but encountered many obstacles. Thanks to the help of virtuous ministers, now it is bearing fruit, the treasury is full, and the expansion of territory has been enough to comfort our ancestors..."

Hearing this, Eunuch Wei became more and more sad for some reason, and even felt a trace of fear in his heart. He was worried that Li Kun was about to die, so he recalled his life.

As soon as he thought of this, he didn't even care about the humble courtesy, and quickly interrupted: "Why did the officials say this? Now Qiu Shangshu is presiding over the military reform, and the dust has not yet settled. Your Majesty, you still need to sit down and calm down."

Li Kun listened and smiled slightly: "In the past year, Xu Yingyi and other aristocratic families have always retreated and compromised. It is obvious that Qiu Qing has taken advantage of him. With Qiu Qing's ability, he will never let things happen again. What's more, there was chaos in Gangang and a new army came. Facing the supernatural warriors, they were still invincible. It can be seen that the effectiveness of the new soldiers is getting stronger day by day. A slight counterattack is not a worry...ahem..."

As he spoke, Li Kun suddenly coughed again.

As soon as this voice came out, the entire palace fell into chaos again.

Eunuch Wei's face also changed drastically, and he quickly confessed, and then advised: "The officials must take care of the dragon's body, and it's better to rest in peace. Let the princes in the court worry about these things."

"Yes, even if I wanted to ask about these things, I was powerless. Fortunately, this has been generally decided, but..." Suddenly, Li Kun's expression turned slightly gloomy, "There is one more thing that I can't worry about. Ah, it’s the prince…”

Under the comfort of several imperial doctors, Li Kun's breath calmed down a lot, and he continued to speak fair to Wei Gong: "Do you know where the prince is now? He was deceived by a villain back then and almost had a rift with Qiu Qing. Although he is older now, I know I need to fix it, but it’s hard to prevent it from falling back into the old ways.”

Eunuch Wei hurriedly said: "Don't worry, officials. His Royal Highness is currently running around and busy opening Zhixing Academy. It seems that he is aware of Qiu Shangshu's ability and wants to make up for his past mistakes."

"Zhixing Academy..."

After hearing this, Li Kun chewed on these four words and finally sighed. (To be continued)
