Chapter 1028: Chapter 1030 Agreeing to Ascend to the Throne (1)

"Imperial Mother..."

Opposite her, Nangong Yi, dressed in an apricot-colored Shu brocade round collar long robe, embroidered with a snarling four-clawed dragon, and wearing a purple-gold inlaid jade crown, walked over with a graceful demeanor.

Standing behind Nangong Yu, Luo Xue instantly tensed, her heart beginning to pound violently. In the days since she last saw him, he had become the Prince of the Great Jin Nation, the future Emperor. His mannerisms now carried the composure and grandeur of someone about to rise to power, making him even more captivating than the playful and disdainful demeanor he used to exhibit...

Nangong Yi approached Empress Mo and bowed his hands in salute.

"Son pays respect to Imperial Mother!"

Empress Mo asked, "Where have you come from?"

"Replying to Imperial Mother, your son is about to go pay respects to Imperial Father!"

"Mm, then go quickly!" Empress Mo urged hastily.

"Yes, your son takes his leave."

Nangong Yi straightened up, about to leave, when Empress Mo suddenly said, "Yi’er, if your Imperial Father asks you to do something, just agree to it, and do not defy him!"

These past days, she had been infuriated by her son’s refusal to accept the Emperor’s request for immediate succession. Initially, mother and son had exhausted every effort to seize that dragon chair, but now that the Emperor was offering it, he was making all sorts of excuses. It was maddening, exasperating, and utterly helpless.

Nangong Yi did not promise her anything, only saying, "It’s not early; your son will leave now."

He then passed by the mother and daughter, heading in the direction of Qixia Palace.

From beginning to end, he never glanced at Zhao Yang, who also lowered her head, not daring to look at him.

Ever since she last cooperated with Helana to scheme against him, his attitude towards her had plummeted. Although she was still well cared for and surrounded by golden slaves and silver maids, the warmth and concern of the past were gone. Even when they met, he would wear a cold expression and not utter a single word to her...

Nangong Yi left Empress Mo and Princess Zhao Yang, taking his guards and eunuchs in a large procession to Qixia Palace, where Emperor Jin Ming was practicing cultivation.

In Qixia Palace, as soon as Emperor Jin Ming heard that his son had arrived, he immediately rose from the meditation cushion and hurried into the inner room of the sleeping chamber, lying down.

Nangong Yi entered the hall, and Chief Eunuch Zhu Zhong led him to Emperor Jin Ming’s sleeping chamber, saying worriedly, "Just now, His Majesty was meditating when he suddenly felt unwell, so I helped him to rest. Prince, please quickly go and see him!"

Nangong Yi walked into the sleeping chamber and saw Emperor Jin Ming lying on the couch with his eyes shut and eyelids trembling, his complexion rosy. There wasn’t the slightest sign of discomfort. Clearly, it was all an act.

Struggling to hide his smile, he stepped forward and greeted, "Your son pays respects to Imperial Father!"

Emperor Jin Ming opened his eyes, waved his hand, and said, "Yi’er is here. Rise, please. If you wish to report on the court’s affairs to me, never mind, I have been feeling dizzy lately. I’m afraid there is lingering poison in my body, and I lack the energy to listen to your reports on those chaotic court issues."

Nangong Yi, feigning concern, said, "If Imperial Father feels unwell, why not summon Court Judge Yao to examine you?"

Having said that, he cast an unhappy glance at Zhu Zhong, chiding, "Old Zhu, The Emperor is unwell, yet you haven’t called for Court Judge Yao?"

Zhu Zhong’s expression stalled, hesitantly looking toward the Emperor lying on the couch.

Emperor Jin Ming coughed and said, "Alas, it’s an old ailment that has to flare up daily. It hasn’t gotten better despite such a long time. Let it be, no need for further examination."

"How can that be acceptable? Whether Imperial Father’s dragon body is in good health is of immense significance. How could this be neglected?"

As Nangong Yi spoke, he waved over a middle-aged man who was standing by his side, "Doctor Zheng, examine the Emperor carefully. If you manage to cure him, there will be a handsome reward!"
