Chapter 1204: Chapter 1203: He Knows, He Actually Knows!

Lan Qing stood right in front of Chu Jiangnan at this moment.

Chu Jiangnan appeared somewhat anxious. Before Lan Qing could even perform a courtesy, he hurriedly said, "I really wish to find the Little Princess back!"

"Has the Emperor’s health started to decline again?" the State Preceptor could only think of this reason.

He looked too anxious now.

Chu Jiangnan tried to speak, but accidentally started coughing.

Previously, in front of Feng Yexuan and Chu Qianli, he merely used his Inner Strength to suppress the chaotic energies.

Now, in Lingjiu Hall where only he and the State Preceptor were present, the blood energy that surged to his chest could hardly be suppressed.

He almost coughed up blood as he struggled to catch his breath.

Lan Qing quickly supported him, letting him sit and rest on a chair.

Although he detested this kind of life, he was loyal to Nanming and devoted to the Emperor.

This was a sense of mission that he was born with.

Thus, he could despise touching anyone, but he did not resist the Emperor.

Seeing the Emperor’s complexion, Lan Qing’s eyes darkened, "Your Majesty, in your current state, you could... lose your life at any moment."

Chu Jiangnan knew that he could never hide anything from the State Preceptor the moment he showed up.

He could only nod, "Yes, today I was poisoned, it interacts with the previous poison, making it likely incurable."

Lan Qing, usually unflappable, still tensed up a bit: "Interacting and countering, if any of the poisons increases or decreases even slightly, Your Majesty could immediately suffer deadly consequences."

"That’s why I am anxious to find the Little Princess back."

"But with the current situation, even if you bring the Little Princess back, what then? She’s just a Princess, she can’t help you, Your Majesty..."

"Who says she can’t help?" Chu Jiangnan coughed again.

Shock flickered in the State Preceptor’s eyes, "Your Majesty, are you suggesting... you want the Little Princess to govern the state?"

How could that be possible? A princess is just a princess!

"Why not? In the history of Nanming, there hasn’t been a lack of Empresses."

"Your Majesty!" Even the usually stoic State Preceptor was truly shocked this time.

He really didn’t expect the Emperor to have such an idea.

Having the Little Princess come back to govern the state, this...

"For the sake of the throne, Prince Yu collaborated with the Southern Ridge Clan, even daring to harm the common people; he would never make a good Emperor."

Chu Jiangnan sighed shallowly, somewhat helplessly.

"Prince Ling has no great ambition, listens to everything your sister says..."

"Your Majesty!"

Lan Qing, since becoming sensible, had never been as panic-stricken as he was today.

He knew! He actually knew!

Momentarily stunned, Lan Qing suddenly bent both knees and knelt down: "Your Majesty, please spare my sister!"

"Get up." Chu Jiangnan frowned, displeased, "As the State Preceptor, you are the faith of all the people of Nanming, you can only kneel to the heavens, how can you kneel to someone like me, a mere mortal?"

Since ancient times, Emperors who could call themselves mere mortals were probably only this one in front.

But the Emperor was not wrong, the State Preceptor only needed to kneel to the heavens, and never needed to kneel to anyone of the Imperial Family.

Lan Qing was just, really anxious.

"The Lan Family is said to be heartless and ruthless, capable of focusing solely on the nation and the people. It seems your sister failed to achieve this, and you... are the same."

However, the words of Chu Jiangnan still carried no blame.

He stood up and personally helped Lan Qing up: "After all, you are still a child. At such a young age, yet having to take on such an office, it’s also hard on you."
