Happy Spring Every Year

Chapter 257 Urgent emergency

At this time, Jiang Xun's attention was completely focused on Emperor Sheng.

A personal letter from His Highness?

His Majesty shed tears, which shows that the letter was undoubtedly written by His Highness during his lifetime.

The Crown Princess and Ye Er arrived just in time, but he hadn't planned today—

Jiang Xun's mind raced, and he quickly reacted.

Yes... Sui Sui.

In the end, he made Sui Sui worry and bother.

At the same time, a heat rose from the bottom of his heart, and his whole body became warm.

How lucky he is that there are so many people who care about him.

Moreover, he had no doubt that the letter presented by the Crown Princess was probably written by His Highness because he had anticipated that such a day would come, so he made preparations in advance and wanted to find a way out for him.

Your Highness...

"Ah Xun, you said, I'm a little lazy today, is that okay?"

"Ah Xun, I feel happy when I see Miss Xi. Is this what you call a sweetheart?"

"Axun, you are not a child anymore, it's time to find a sweetheart."

"Huaxia? Haha, Ah Xun, you're talking nonsense again! You must be kidding me, right?"

"Axun, I believe in you. I always believe in you."

"Axun, can I...can I entrust Ye'er to you?"

"Ah Xun, I truly...can't repay you for such a profound kindness."

.......

Your Highness, there is no need to talk about favors between you and me.

Your Highness's frankness and loyalty have helped me, a person from another world, find a place to stay in the chaos.

I only blame the heavens for treating you so badly, and I hate the unpredictable human heart that has separated you and me from each other by the Yin and Yang, and we can no longer drink together and have long conversations.

Jiang Xun was lost in thought, with sadness filling his drooping brows, when he suddenly felt someone gently tugging at his sleeve.

"Why are you here, sir?"

Zhao Yuanye came over at some point, raised his head and looked at Jiang Xun. His childish eyes and brows still showed the look of an old friend.

He had deliberately lowered his voice, but the imperial study was so quiet that everyone in the palace could still hear it.

Jiang Xun's expression was filled with emotion. He leaned forward slightly and asked softly, "Your Highness, have you been studying well these past few days?"

Zhao Yuanye's face fell when he heard this, and he muttered aggrievedly, "How can you be like me, the teacher, and ask about homework as soon as we meet?"

There were still tears in Emperor Sheng's eyes, and he looked over when he heard the voice.

In the blurred vision, I could vaguely see a big person and a small person standing at the junction of light and darkness. The sunset was spreading under their feet, enveloping them both in a thick warmth.

Emperor Sheng slowly stood up and opened his mouth. The word "Ji'er" lingered on his lips for a long time, and finally turned into a faint sigh and stopped at his lips.

He knew that the person standing in front of him with Ye'er was Jiang Xun.

He was just moved by the scene and couldn't help thinking that if Ji'er were still alive, the scene of a loving father and a filial son would be just like the one before him.

Yu Jier, he couldn't deny that...it was his fault.

When Emperor Sheng's thoughts reached this point, it was as if all his bones and muscles were pulled out. He lost his strength in an instant, his body swayed, and he fell back heavily.

Over the years, he told himself countless times in his heart that Ji'er left with a heart full of resentment and endless hatred towards him.

Such abnormal self-comfort seemed to bring him a little relief and alleviate some of his guilt.

But...in the last letter left by Ji'er, the whole paper was filled with sincere prayers for him, the father, earnestly and full of affection.

It was as if Ji'er's heart of admiration, as bright as the moon, was still as vivid as ever on the letter paper.

His self-deceiving disguise was torn to pieces at this moment.

The guilt, guilty conscience, and regret that had been suppressed for years came flooding back, almost overwhelming him.

"Father, the letter has been presented to you. I will take my leave."

In the imperial study, the Crown Princess's respectful voice was heard, and then she waved to Zhao Yuanye.

Zhao Yuanye seemed reluctant to leave. He turned to look at Emperor Sheng, then looked up at Jiang Xun, and finally said respectfully:

"Grandpa Huang, my grandson is leaving."

"Sir, after the wedding, don't forget to come and teach Ye'er."

He added this to Jiang Xun in a low voice before walking towards his mother.

The Crown Princess took Zhao Yuanye and turned around and left the imperial study.

Before coming, she wanted to use a letter to plead for Lord Jiang.

But her father was now very emotional and had shed tears several times. If she said any more, it would be too much.

Outside the palace, the afterglow was shining brightly. The Crown Princess felt a pang of bitterness welling up in her eyes, and the sadness in her heart grew like weeds, almost bursting her heart.

Aji, I think this is the best time for your suicide note to appear.

I hope I didn't disappoint you.

As for the person behind me, I hate and resent him. When I see his tears, I just feel sick and hypocritical.

When the time is right, I will do something.

He should chew the bitter fruit alone in endless disappointment and regret. Every time he thinks of this for the rest of his life, he will feel as if his heart is being torn by a knife and he will be in unbearable pain!

If he doesn't have this conscience, what if I hold the blade?

The tears were forced back, the sadness in the Crown Princess' eyes gradually faded, and she walked firmly onto the palace road covered with sunset.

Zhao Yuanye walked beside the Crown Princess, and when he stepped out of the palace, his hands were clenched tightly under his sleeves.

He understands, he understands everything.

He only regretted that he was too young to protect his teacher and could not respond to the sincerity of the loyal ministers outside the palace.

Grandpa Emperor will never understand how important the teacher is to him.

If today, the letter from the king still cannot change the emperor's decision, he will not turn a blind eye, nor will he sit idly by.

Even if this is something the gentleman doesn't want to see, he must go and fight in front of the Emperor!

Grow up quickly, quickly...grow up.

......

With the departure of the Crown Princess and His Royal Highness the Grandson, the Imperial Study fell into silence again.

Emperor Sheng held the letter left by Prince Xianhuai tightly in his hand, his heart was filled with turmoil for a long time, and his eyes were fixed on Jiang Xun.

"Best friends for life and death", what a solemn word.

Ji'er is... asking him to spare Jiang Xun's life no matter what.

But Jiang Xun, can you stay?

Emperor Sheng wanted to say something, but he had not had time to rest after fainting from anger, and his emotions had fluctuated violently several times, so now he felt his throat was extremely dry.

He raised his finger and knocked on the imperial desk. Just as he was about to call Fu Shun in to serve him, three imperial doctors appeared at the open door of the palace.

"Your Majesty."

Emperor Sheng's heart suddenly tightened, and he hurriedly exerted his strength and asked in a hoarse voice, "How is the second brother?"

The leading doctor, Liu, lowered his head and glanced at his two colleagues beside him. Their eyes met, and Liu replied in a panic:

"Your Majesty, the prince may have... damaged heart vessels."

"What!?"

Emperor Sheng suddenly stood up, feeling dizzy, but he quickly supported himself on the table and said through gritted teeth, "Speak clearly!"

Cold sweat covered Liu's forehead as he spoke quickly, "Your Majesty, the prince's breathing is weak and disordered, and his pulse is weak and stagnant. This is clearly due to the reverse flow of Qi and blood following the injury to the heart meridian, leading to stagnation."

"Your Highness is now experiencing excruciating chest pain, difficulty breathing, and occasional dizziness. Although we have tried our best to assist, the damage to his heart and veins will not heal overnight."

"However, Your Highness is blessed with good fortune and great luck. With careful care, he will surely be as healthy as before and regain his heroic spirit."

Emperor Sheng was stunned and became silent for a moment.

He never imagined that his random kick in anger would cause Zhao Huailang to be so seriously injured.

The eldest son died, the second son was injured, and the third son was confined to his house.

He had three sons, but...he didn't keep any of them?

Emperor Sheng suddenly felt a bone-chilling powerlessness rushing from the soles of his feet to his heart, and a sense of emptiness and confusion appeared in his eyes.

At this moment, he couldn't help but think of the past when he had carefully calculated and fought for victory in the thrilling and dangerous struggle for the throne, and finally took the coveted throne into his arms.

At that time, he looked down at the mountains and rivers with great ambitions, but why, now, is there only emptiness and loneliness in his heart?

Deserted by everyone... Deserted by everyone...

Zhao Huailang's crazy roar echoed in Emperor Sheng's ears, his face turned pale and his body was shaking.

The imperial doctors were filled with fear, with their brows lowered, and they were kneeling outside the imperial study, so they did not notice anything unusual about Emperor Sheng.

Eunuch Fushun was standing at the entrance of the palace. At this moment, his mind was distracted by something and he kept looking towards the end of the palace road. Since he had not been summoned by Emperor Sheng, he did not enter the palace.

Only Jiang Xun, who was standing in the hall at this moment, took in Emperor Sheng's expression and vaguely realized something.

However, he did not warn her, nor did he...go forward to comfort her.

Just at this moment, Eunuch Fushun's eyes widened, as if he saw something.

coming!

At the end of the palace road, a royal guard was holding something in his hand and walking towards this side quickly!

blah blah-

Shen Jiasui and others turned their heads and saw the Royal Guards marching so fast on the palace road, and their expressions changed slightly.

I’m afraid it’s something extremely urgent!

Shen Zhengsheng and others were still calm, but Shen Jiasui was worried.

She knew Axun's next plan and would not let it cause the Royal Guards to lose their composure like this.

Could it be that something else went wrong?

Just as Shen Jiasui was beginning to think, he saw the imperial guard kneeling behind the three imperial doctors, saying quickly:

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Tutor committed suicide in the Imperial Prison, leaving behind this blood letter—"

hum-

Shen Jiasui froze in place, his mind went blank, his ears were buzzing, and everything around him became blurry and distant.

She stared blankly into the distance, her lips trembling slightly as she tried to say something, but only broken breath escaped.

Just as she felt herself falling downwards, someone suddenly held her tightly.

Shen Jiasui looked up blankly, and all he could see was his father's lips opening and closing several times, but the sound seemed to come from across the water.

Until the pain in her arm gradually brought her back to her senses, and the sound in her ears gradually became louder and deeper, and then slowly became clearer.

"Alive—still alive—years old—the Imperial Master is still alive—"

Shen Jiasui took a long breath, like a drowning man struggling to the surface, and finally found some of his voice.

"Daddy, the teacher—"

Shen Zhengsheng's face was also pale at this moment, and he quickly responded: "The Imperial Guards said that they found it in time and there is still breath!"

"The emperor has also fainted, and the imperial physician has entered the palace. Xiuzhi cannot stay, so he has rushed to the imperial prison and ordered the Crown Princess and His Royal Highness the Grandson to be urgently summoned back!"

Shen Jiansui's body was still shaking uncontrollably, but Shen Zhengsheng's words reached her ears and entered her heart one by one.

She suddenly raised her head and stared at her father, her breathing rapid and her mouth dry.

"father--"

It seems like there are some unfinished words that I cannot express aloud.

Shen Zhengsheng frowned and nodded heavily at this moment.

Shen Jiasui slowly stood up straight, still feeling a faint sharp pain in her chest. The tragic news of her teacher's suicide had almost taken away her entire soul.

But now, the storm is coming, and it is an important moment to "change the world"!

Daddy specifically mentioned to her that Axun "couldn't stay" and that the Crown Princess and His Royal Highness the Grandson were on their way. She knew what was going on, she knew what was going on...

The next moment, Shen Jiasui squeezed his father's hand tightly, and then took a step forward, taking advantage of the chaos and panic among the crowd, and chased in the direction where the Crown Princess had just left!
