Tearing the Prince's Clothes after Withdrawing Marriage
Chapter 1241 - 1240: The Final Ultimatum

Chapter 1241: Chapter 1240: The Final Ultimatum

After Prince entered, the ministers outside grew even more anxious.

They did not know the current condition of His Majesty.

Most importantly, they felt that they too were not trusted.

Once this thought took root in their hearts, it quickly grew out of control.

His Majesty and Prince Jing understood this, and so naturally did Prince Yu.

After roughly the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Prince Yu was the first to challenge the situation: "Your Majesty, we mean no offense, but the matter of Baijing Village is urgent, and this issue must be addressed first."

"Your Majesty, the dead have passed away, their souls need to be guided to peace, and the people’s hearts must not be lost."

"Now, someone must step forward to comfort the refugees, and another must appear to save the living villagers. After the flood disaster, diseases can easily occur."

"Your Majesty, someone must handle this immediately, otherwise, it will be more than just a matter of over a thousand lives!"

Prince Yu’s words struck home with everyone.

The situation indeed was urgent, but even though His Majesty had awakened, he still did not wish to see them.

Did His Majesty truly not care at all about this matter?

"Your Majesty!"

Suddenly, Prince Yu stood up from his wheelchair.

This time, he did not look at the doors to the sleeping chamber, but directly at the high officials behind him.

"There is no room for delay, someone must be dispatched to Baijing Village from the Imperial City tomorrow. If Your Majesty is unwilling to take charge of the situation, then I, as Prince, shall volunteer myself and request Master Lan’s assistance in consoling the departed spirits!"

...

Prince Yu’s ambition to seize the throne was plainly evident.

The difficulty was, the State Preceptor’s whereabouts were currently unknown, and on top of that, it was heard that he had suffered an eye injury and was severely wounded; his powers could not be restored in the short term.

Therefore, even if the State Preceptor was brought back at this time, it would be of no help.

Prince Yu issued a final ultimatum to His Majesty; if tomorrow morning, His Majesty could not personally accompany them to Baijing Village,

then he would replace His Majesty and go together with Master Lan.

If Prince Yu were to resolve this matter, His Majesty’s standing in the hearts of the people would be utterly lost.

What to do?

After taking the ministers with him and leaving, since His Majesty remained silent, Prince Ling, feeling insulted too, walked out.

After he entered the room, His Majesty indeed did not utter a single word to him.

It was somewhat... unreasonable!

"Loyal Brother, Second Brother has left as well," said Prince Jing with a worried face.

"Right now... Loyal Brother, how are you doing?"

Everyone was startled because the Emperor had vomited blood!

The footsteps of Prince Ling had barely faded when the Emperor could no longer hold his breath.

A surge of blood rushed to his throat, and with an open mouth, he spat out a mouthful of black blood.

Afterward, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.

"Your Majesty!"

"Master!" Yexuan took his hand and immediately began administering internal energy to treat his wounds.

"Liujin, quickly!"

In reality, Liujin had been waiting on the side, ready to respond at any moment.

But he was not Chu Qianli; he too was at a loss at this moment!

"Originally, His Majesty’s condition was somewhat stable; at least his pulse was steady when Miss Chu left."

"But just now, it’s unclear what happened – His Majesty’s eyelids were twitching as if he was forcing himself to wake up..."

"Loyal Brother must have sensed that something was amiss outside and that he needed to wake up to deal with it himself."

Liujin nodded, agreeing with the assessment.

"But it is precisely because of such a forced awakening that His Majesty’s meridians are now in great disorder, and his condition is even more severe than before. Tomorrow..."

He glanced at Chu Wang and finally, his gaze landed on Yexuan, "Prince, His Majesty must not go to Baijing Village tomorrow; in his current condition, if he endures the stress of travel, I fear... I fear his life may be at risk!"
