“Your Majesty!”
“It’s nothing serious. It’s only some old illnesses. It doesn’t matter.” Feng Tianyu wiped his mouth. “Make sure that no one knows about this, especially Qing’er. If not, you’ll be killed without mercy!”
“Your Majesty…” Eunuch Lin came forward worriedly. “You don’t have to be like this. There are so many good doctors in this world. We can hire them to treat your illnesses. Moreover, Your Majesty could buy a lot of spirit herbs. Your illnesses might be cured.”
Actually, Feng Tianyu had those illnesses because he had suffered from great misery and grief when Empress Nalan died that year.
Feng Tianyu’s health was becoming worse every day after Empress Nalan’s death. He never could have made it to this day if Feng Ruqing were more thoughtful and sensible. He was worried that Feng Ruqing would be bullied by the others when he died.
But now, he felt that his duty was fulfilled after seeing how far Feng Ruqing had changed and grown.
“I still need to hold Liu Yun Kingdom together. If the others know of my deteriorating health, they might take this chance to attack us.” Feng Tianyu’s eyebrows tightened. He sighed softly. “I just hope that I could uncover the truth to Yan’er’s death and avenge her before I die. That way, I could eliminate all enemies for Qing’er.”
“I won’t die before eliminating all the enemies. So, don’t worry.”
His daughter had grown up, but she clearly needed his support and guidance. He would never leave her behind.
He would only go and meet Yan’er when everything was settled and peaceful.
“Furthermore…” Feng Tianyu laughed bitterly. “I have always wished that Feng Ruqing could amend her relationship with the General Manor. If I passed on the throne to her, the General Manor would support her willingly; not because of Yan’er and me.”
“Your Majesty?”
Eunuch Lin was shocked. He looked up at Feng Tianyu anxiously. “If Your Majesty wants to pass your throne on to Feng Ruqing, all the people will never agree. There has never been a female emperor in the history of Liu Yun.”
Feng Tianyu snorted. “The throne is mine. Anyone can be an emperor if I choose to pass my throne on to her. Moreover, the next emperor must be the child of Yan’er and I. There’s no one else!”
Eunuch Lin was quiet. His Majesty had never been together with the other consorts these last few years. Those consorts were just there for show. So, His Majesty was left without a son now. If he continued to act stubbornly, he would never have a son.
So, this throne might just be passed on to the crown princess.

In a small garden at the palace.
A young girl was surrounded by a group from the Iron-Blooded Troop. There was a sweet and innocent smile on her beautiful face. “Tang Zi, I really came to meet all of you. It’s because my concubine-mother knows that all of you have been training very hard recently. So, she has ordered me to bring you this 100-year-old ginseng for you to strengthen your bodies.”
100-year-old ginseng was only an ordinary herb. It was not as powerful as a spirit herb.
Moreover, these people from the Iron-Blooded Troop were so aggressive. She would not have given them the spirit herbs even if she had bought them.
But, this 100-year-old ginseng was considered expensive in the market. So, these people would surely be grateful toward her.
“Second Princess, please leave now.” There was no emotion on Tang Zi’s face. Her expression was cold. “Just bring the 100-year-old ginseng back. We don’t need it.”
Feng Rushuang’s smile froze. She was furious. These people were just some of the royal family’s dogs. How could they be this rude? They thought that they were favored by His Majesty.
“I’m kind enough to come and meet you. Although the Iron-Blooded Token has been retrieved by my sister, but think about it… is it a good thing that she has taken it back? No! You’re wrong. She just wants to use it to harm the public. My concubine-mother took it away then for everybody’s sake. Now, you can’t even differentiate good and bad.”
