Chapter 346: Shadows Over the Throne

"I know it’s difficult, but you have to do everything you can to keep him calm," Yue Mingxuan said, shaking his head.

There was little else he could do.

The emperor’s condition resembled poisoning.

But this poison was not overtly violent, it slowly eroded the heart and meridians over time.

Yue Mingxuan could delay its progress, but he could not stop it entirely.

It was like the natural process of aging, something that could be delayed, but never truly stopped.

What Yue Mingxuan could do now was no different: he could only slow it down, not prevent it altogether.

"Then I’ll go find Gongsun Xing!" The journey from Xieshang Kingdom to here would take about three days, but if Shang Qinghua traveled at full speed using his lightness skill the entire way, there might still be time.

"You need to stay calm. Beirong cannot do without you right now. Since the emperor has already been poisoned, don’t let him expend too much energy. Leave Gongsun Xing to me," Yue Mingxuan said. Then he turned to Xie Yunlan. "How long will it take you to bring Gongsun Xing here?"

"Half a day." Xie Yunlan answered with confidence.

His lightness skill was already exceptional and in an urgent situation like this, he would naturally push himself even further.

Given enough time, he might even be faste, but he didn’t bother to say that aloud.

As the acting head of Ten Thousand Wisdom Hall, his abilities were more than sufficient.

"Half a day... that’s incredibly fast." Yue Mingxuan nodded. If it truly took only half a day for a round trip, then Xie Yunlan’s skill was indeed remarkable. But then Xie Yunlan added, "I’ll notify our people in Xieshang Kingdom and have them bring Miracle Doctor Gongsun here as quickly as possible."

"Our people in Xieshang Kingdom?" By the time Yue Mingxuan processed his words, Xie Yunlan had already vanished.

Only then did he understand what he meant.

Ten Thousand Wisdom Hall had its own special methods of transmitting information.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the message could reach Xieshang Kingdom.

If they set out immediately and met halfway, it was indeed possible to bring Gongsun Xing here within half a day.

He just didn’t know how Gongsun Xing was doing now.

Yue Mingxuan let out a quiet sigh, if it weren’t for such a critical situation, he wouldn’t have wanted to trouble Gongsun Xing like this. But this time, he truly had no other choice.

For a doctor, there was perhaps no moment more painful than this when he could not save his own patient and had no choice but to seek help from someone else.

"Let’s hope Gongsun Xing can get here quickly. Maybe he’ll have a better solution," Yue Mingxuan said.

In truth, he didn’t hold much hope.

During his time at Silver Needle Sect, he hadn’t learned in vain, he had mastered many medical techniques.

Yet among everything he had learned, he had found nothing that could save the emperor. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

If even he couldn’t find a way, it was unlikely Gongsun Xing would have a perfect solution either.

He said those words only to give Shang Qinghua something to hold onto, so that he wouldn’t lose heart.

"Since he has gone to find Gongsun Xing, then the affairs of Beirong will be left to you for the time being. Under the current circumstances, we have no better choice. You can only say that the emperor has fallen seriously ill and you must not reveal that he has been poisoned."

Shang Qinghua naturally understood the implications, but the situation was no longer within his control. He had to find a way to resolve everything properly.

"I will take care of Beirong’s affairs," Shang Qinghua said, a cold and unreadable glint flashing in his eyes.

Both of his fathers had suffered harm during this period.

Even though the emperor of Beirong had not raised him, that man was still his biological father.

Seeing his own father lying motionless on the bed filled him with grief.

What made it worse was that he knew exactly who the culprit was, yet because he lacked the strength, he could not bring that person to justice, nor could he force a method of detoxification from him.

All he could do was watch his father remain helpless, lying there.

How tragic it was.

Shang Qinghua clenched his fists, then picked up the memorials before him and began handling the affairs of Beirong.

It had to be said that Beirong was currently in a precarious situation.

Since Rong Zishen sought revenge, he would surely make some unexpected move.

If Shang Qinghua failed to stop him in time, there was no telling what might happen.

But he did not know Rong Zishen’s plans.

He only knew that recently, Rong Zishen might join forces with Keshun Sanfeng.

Shang Qinghua was well aware of what kind of man Keshun Sanfeng was, he’s cunning, sinister, yet undeniably capable.

Back then, The Black Archon had once been a complete organization.

It was only after Keshun Sanfeng’s betrayal that everything fell apart, leading to his mother becoming what she later was.

In a way, if not for Keshun Sanfeng, his own life would not have become so complicated.

In the past, he had thought Keshun Sanfeng’s betrayal was directed solely at The Black Archon.

Only now did he realize that even his own twisted fate had been shaped by that same betrayal.

If he had known earlier, he would have done everything in his power to destroy the Nine Abyssal Gate and within that place, there were surely people who knew the whereabouts of the Imperator Jin.

The Imperator Jin...

At the mere thought of that name, Shang Qinghua felt a deep discomfort.

No matter the reason, he would eventually have to face the Imperator Jin.

That person had been missing for twenty years... was he really expected to marry someone who had been gone for two decades?

Moreover, he had already fallen in love with Yue Mingxuan.

That was the most troublesome part.
