Chapter 205 The Emperor is Critically Ill

"Uncle," Xuan Yuchen responded softly and nodded. Nangong Rong also nodded and continued, "Chen'er, the world is in turmoil right now, and Shangjing is in dire straits. The current emperor is in poor health and is seriously ill. I'm afraid he can only hold on for another two years at most."

Hearing this, Xuan Yuchen couldn't help but be stunned, and asked in astonishment: "Is it so serious?" Nangong Rong nodded heavily again, indicating that it was indeed the case.

Then, Nangong Rong revealed: "Nowadays, most people in the palace have become the running dogs of that evil concubine, working for her. But fortunately, your mother, the Queen's side is now under my control." After hearing what his uncle said, Xuan Yuchen's expression instantly became extremely solemn.

He was very aware of the severe situation that Shangjing was currently facing, and the emperor's physical condition was directly related to the future direction of the entire country.

"Uncle, facing such a tense situation, how should we deal with it?" Xuan Yuchen asked in a low but firm voice, with courage and determination in his eyes.

Nangong Rong nodded slightly, expressing his recognition and appreciation for Xuan Yuchen.

Then, he walked to the window, staring at the endless dark night sky outside the window, and said slowly: "Chen'er, the emperor is in a critical condition now, and the people in the court are in a panic. Although the evil concubine has great power in the court, if we act cautiously and take every step carefully, we may be able to find a chance to turn the tide."

"What are your plans, uncle?" Xuan Yuchen asked anxiously.

Nangong Rong slowly turned around, staring at Xuan Yuchen with a sharp gaze, his eyes flashing with wisdom, and slowly said: "First of all, the most urgent task is to ensure the safety of your mother. In this court, she is the only one who can compete with the evil concubine. To this end, I will further strengthen the garrison of the Buddhist temple to protect her from the evil concubine and her followers."

After a short pause, Nangong Rong continued, "Secondly, we need to secretly communicate with those court officials who are dissatisfied with the Demon Concubine and try our best to win them over to our side. Not only that, we also need to wait for an opportunity to expose the numerous evil deeds committed by the Demon Concubine so that all the civil and military officials in the court can see through her true face."

Changing the subject, Nangong Rong said solemnly, "But we must always have a way out. If the power of the evil concubine is so great that it is difficult to shake her, and we cannot gain the upper hand in the court, then we will have to find another way and seek help from forces outside the palace."

Xuan Yuchen listened attentively to his uncle's plans and layout, and couldn't help feeling admiration in his heart.

"Uncle, I will do my best to support your plan!" Xuan Yuchen's words were sonorous and powerful, and his eyes revealed his determination and perseverance, as if he was announcing his determination to the world. "In order to maintain the peace of the court and protect the people's peace and happiness, we must work together to fight against the evil power of the demon concubine!"

Nangong Rong nodded slightly to show his approval of Xuan Yuchen, and a hint of admiration flashed from the depths of his eyes.

Then, he said in a deep voice: "Your second uncle has already gone to Nanzhou, and Nanzhou and Chuanzhou are both your fiefdoms. Here, we have already started the plan of training troops. Not only that, I have also recruited many wise men to gather in Nanzhou, and now they are intensively preparing for the future battle."

After that, he stared at Xuan Yuchen, his words filled with a solemn atmosphere: "Chen'er, now that things have come to this, you can no longer avoid the fight. The current emperor is in poor health, and the power of the evil concubine and her followers is growing day by day, causing panic among the people in the court and the country, and they are in danger of losing their lives at any moment."

Xuan Yuchen clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning slightly white from excessive force. He listened attentively to every word of his uncle, trying to understand the deep meaning and responsibility contained in them.

My uncle's voice was deep and powerful, as if it penetrated time and space and reached directly into Xuan Yuchen's heart.

He felt the heavy trust and expectations, and understood that this struggle was no ordinary one - it not only concerned personal honor and disgrace, family prosperity and decline, but also the stability of the entire court and the well-being of the people of the world.

Xuan Yuchen knew that he had a heavy responsibility, but he never backed down.

He slowly raised his head, his eyes flashing with determination, and said to his uncle solemnly: "Uncle, please rest assured! I know that this mission is arduous, but I will do my best and live up to the mission. For the peace of the court and the happiness of the people, I am willing to work hand in hand with you to overcome the difficulties together!"

Nangong Rong looked at his heroic nephew in front of him, his heart filled with joy and relief.

He nodded with satisfaction, expressing his recognition and appreciation for Xuan Yuchen.

From Xuan Yuchen's determined gaze, he saw a responsible and courageous young man growing up rapidly.

At this moment, Nangong Rong firmly believed that no matter what difficulties and obstacles lay ahead, Xuan Yuchen would be able to move forward bravely and overcome the dangers.

And the two of them will work together to resist the coming storm...

"Chen'er, I heard that you have an old friend in Chuanzhou." Nangong Rong put down the teacup in his hand and stared at Xuan Yuchen who was about to go out.

Xuan Yuchen paused. He didn't expect his uncle to mention this suddenly.

His eyes flashed with complex emotions and his lips moved slightly, but he did not respond immediately.

Nangong Rong frowned when he saw this, and his tone became serious: "Chen'er, no one can become your weakness. If one day she becomes your fatal weakness, I will definitely..."

Nangong Rong stopped talking at this point, but the strong threat in his words was obvious.

Xuan Yuchen's heart tightened, and he turned around quickly, ran towards Nangong Rong, and pleaded anxiously, "Uncle, please don't hurt her! She means a lot to me. But I also know the heavy responsibility I shoulder. I will never let anyone become my weak spot, even her."

Nangong Rong stared at Xuan Yuchen's anxious expression, took a deep breath, and his originally tense voice relaxed slightly: "Chen'er, I know she once saved your life. This great kindness will never be forgotten by our Nangong family.

However, you must be clear that as the crown prince, any decision you make is related to the stability of the court and the happiness and well-being of the people.

You must take the fate of the world as your own responsibility!"

Xuan Yuchen nodded to indicate that he understood his uncle's concerns and expectations.

He responded solemnly: "Uncle, you can rest assured that I will properly handle the relationship between her and me, and will never let personal feelings interfere with the overall situation.

In addition, I will work harder and continue to hone my abilities, hoping to contribute more to the court and the people.”

Nangong Rong looked at Xuan Yuchen's firm and courageous eyes, and felt a little relieved.

He patted Xuan Yuchen's shoulder gently and said earnestly: "In that case, just go ahead and do it. I firmly believe that you can make a wise choice." After that, he gave Xuan Yuchen an encouraging smile.
