"Imperial brother, what's wrong?" Chu Wang was startled.
Why did Imperial brother's face suddenly turn so pale!
Chu Jiangnan didn't know what was happening to him. His heart was suddenly gripped with pain, and a surge of blood qi churned in his chest.
His illness had clearly improved significantly. Why had it suddenly taken a turn for the worse?
Even more terrifyingly, as he was about to stand up, the blood qi in his chest could no longer be suppressed.
With a soft "poof," he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
His body went limp, and he collapsed.
"Imperial brother!"
Chu Wang immediately jumped up, held him tightly, and then turned towards the main door, calling out, "Guards, summon the imperial physician! Summon... Summon Liu Jin! Quickly, quickly summon Liu Jin!"
Chu Jiangnan pressed hard on the spot where his heart was.
At this moment, only one person came to his mind.
A little girl!
"Little Li'er... Little Li'er... Fourth Imperial brother, tell Little Li'er to come back, tell... ugh—"
Before he could finish speaking, Chu Jiangnan let out another gasp, and this time, he completely fainted.
"Imperial brother! Imperial brother!"
Tell Little Li'er to come back? What did that mean?
Little Li'er was already in the imperial palace.
"Your Majesty! Prince Jing, what's wrong with His Majesty?" Liu Jin arrived and, along with Xiao Shunzi, helped Chu Jiangnan onto the bed.
"I don't know what's wrong with Imperial brother either. We were just drinking tea and chatting moments ago, and Imperial brother showed no signs of discomfort... Could he have been poisoned?"
Otherwise, why would this happen so suddenly?
But the blood His Majesty spat out was bright red, not like poisoning. What was going on?
"It's not poisoning," Liu Jin immediately denied.
Chu Wang was even more confused: "Could it be a relapse of his old illness?"
"It's unclear for now." Liu Jin immediately began to administer acupuncture. "Did His Majesty do anything else unusual just now?"
"No..." Chu Wang thought for a moment, then suddenly remembered what Imperial brother had said before he fainted. "Imperial brother just said to tell Little Li'er to come back... No, at that time, Imperial brother was already falling ill."
"Strange, His Majesty's condition had stabilized these past few days, why has it suddenly become like this?" Liu Jin was utterly perplexed.
But it seemed now that His Majesty's body didn't have any particularly serious problems.
His pulse was a bit weak, but not to the point of fainting.
Why would he spit blood and faint?
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Outside, hurried footsteps could be heard, it was Yang Xun calling out.
Chu Wang immediately went out: "What is it? Don't disturb His Majesty's rest."
"Prince Jing..." Yang Xun panted, his face filled with anxiety: "Your Highness, the Princess... the Princess has been taken by Lan Fan!"
"What?" Chu Wang was startled and anxious: "Which direction did they go? Guards! Quickly gather the troops, I will go find her myself!"
"No! Quickly tell someone to inform Prince Xuan! Quickly!"
Without a moment's delay, Chu Wang ordered horses to be prepared, gathered a troop, and immediately left the palace to search.
However, in his haste and anxiety, he suddenly remembered how Imperial brother had asked him to find Little Li'er before spitting blood and fainting.
Why did it seem as if something had happened to Little Li'er, and Imperial brother had a premonition about it?
Could this be the legendary blood bond, the connection between father and daughter?
No, no, no, Little Li'er was not Imperial brother's biological daughter at all!
No, Mingyue, Long Xiyue, Southern Chu, Chu Jiangnan, Little Li'er...
Long Xiyue of the Dragon Ascending Kingdom, didn't she also inexplicably have Little Li'er without being married?
It was said that Long Xiyue had also wandered to the Northern Underworld...
Chu Wang's heart suddenly trembled violently.
Why had he never investigated in this direction?
Could Long Xiyue possibly be Mingyue?
