No matter how hard Princess Changning tried to persuade him, He Chuan refused.

While the two were in a stalemate, a palace maid came to report that the emperor was in critical condition and wanted to see Changning for the last time.

After the palace maid left, Princess Changning suddenly wanted to kneel down!

As her personal teacher, it was not a problem for Princess Changning to kneel down.

However, He Chuan did not like to kneel down so easily, not to mention that the other party was a Princess.

He quickly released his true energy to prevent Princess Changning from kneeling down.

“Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are determined by heaven. Life and death are normal things. Princess, you need to be more open-minded,” He Chuan advised.

“But I can’t bear to part with Emperor Father. I beg master to think of a way.” Princess Changning still did not give up. She hoped that Zhou Shiming could live a few more years.

He Chuan could only express his helplessness in this regard.

Seeing that he was unmoved, Changning stopped asking for help.

Instead, she worked even harder every day, wishing that she could immediately break through to become a saint cultivator.

This was because this was the only way to save Emperor Father’s life.

It was as if she had grown mature in one night.

In the Emperor’s bedroom.

The Emperor of the Great Zhou, Zhou Shiming, lay weakly on his sickbed.

Compared to five years ago, he was now like an old man on the verge of death.

The Imperial physician had already left, and other than the two Xiantian experts guarding outside the room, there was no one else.

He Chuan quietly avoided everyone and arrived before the bed.

“Your Majesty!”

His voice was like magic, and the already powerless Zhou Shimin slowly opened his eyes.

“Little Chuan Zi!” Zhou Shiming’s voice was a little harsh, and it was extremely hoarse

A few experts outside heard the commotion in the bedroom and wanted to go in to check, but they found that their bodies could not move at all.

This made them extremely surprised.

“I heard that His Majesty is unwell, so I specially came to take a look.” He Chuan’s voice was very calm.

It did not matter even if he revealed his identity. In any case, he was prepared to go around and see the local customs.

Before coming here, he had already thought of the current situation.

“The first time I asked you to help me find a book, I knew that you were not an ordinary person.” Zhou Shiming revealed a smile.

Great Zhou had an expert overseeing it, so there would be no worries in the future.

“I only want to cultivate in peace, and I do not want to care about the disturbances. That is why I did not tell His Majesty the truth.” He Chuan placed his hand on Zhou Shiming’s wrist and examined the situation.

“I understand that an expert like you has no interest in power or money. Zhou Shiming felt a warm current flowing through his limbs and bones.

“It seems that your Majesty is a wise ruler and did not neglect the court because of his health. This minister feel that it is the good fortune of the people of the Zhou Dynasty to have you live for a few more years.” He Chuan took out the pill that the system had rewarded and wrapped it with true energy, he sent them into Zhou Shiming’s mouth.

“I have let down the world, but I have let down my family. I have not been able to accompany them properly. Cheng’an and Changning grew up under your care. I only hope that after I leave, you can help Cheng’an more, and I will be satisfied.”

When Zhou Shiming sent his children to the library, he had seen that He Chuan was different from the rest.

Furthermore, Changning’s martial arts were progressing rapidly, and she did not know how to hide. The experts around him had already realized that something was wrong.

However, he had pretended not to see it.

He Chuan wanted peace and quiet, and he wanted to stay in the library. As the Emperor, he was satisfied.

He wanted to keep this expert for the Great Zhou dynasty.

“It is still better for your Majesty to personally teach Your Highness the Crown Prince. I do not understand the path of becoming an Emperor at all.” Teaching him martial arts was alright, but He Chuan did not want to care about other things.

He was about to leave the Imperial Palace, so he didn’t have the time to supervise Crown Prince Cheng’an.

As soon as he finished speaking, the medicinal effect in Zhou Shiming’s stomach began to take effect, and a powerful life force began to emanate from his body.

His pale face gradually flushed red, and he became energetic.

It was impossible to see any signs of illness.

This pill could restore life force and increase one’s lifespan by eight years.

For saint cultivators, a mere eight years of lifespan was completely useless, so He Chuan had always kept the pill on his body.

He did not expect it to come in handy.

Zhou Shiming felt his entire body filled with energy, and his previously dispirited appearance was swept away.

He even found it hard to believe, because even if He Chuan was a half-step saint cultivator, he would not be able to extend his life.

He did not expect that a pill could bring back the dead.

It was simply unbelievable.

He had never heard of such a thing before.

“I’m fine now?” Zhou Shiming asked.

“It can add about eight years to your life. I’m planning to travel around the central plains recently, and I’ve come to ask for Your Majesty’s resignation,” He Chuan said.

Since the Emperor was fine now, Princess Changning didn’t need to be sad. Crown Prince Cheng’an could grow under his protection.

He could be considered to have cleared his mind, and he could go out and take a walk in peace!

These words made Zhou Shiming, who was still ecstatic, calm down. A half-step saint cultivator was going to leave?

What if something went wrong in the Great Zhou Dynasty?

“Young Eunuch He, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? Feel free to bring it up. I will do my best to satisfy you!” Zhou Shiming had to keep this expert here, so he immediately lowered his stance.

“Your Majesty, what’s the point? It’s already fate for the ruler and the subject to meet. Besides, I’m just going out for a tour. Who knows when? I might return to the library.”

He Chuan would not change his mind just because of someone’s request. If it weren’t for Princess Changning being so heartbroken, he definitely wouldn’t have meddled in other people’s business.

He wasn’t interested in being nine thousand years old.

Zhou Shimin could hear He Chuan’s determination. Whether a half-step saint cultivator left or stayed, it wasn’t something he could control.

“I understand now. It might not be convenient for Little Eunuch He to go out. If you’re willing to bring a palace maid or eunuch, you can choose as you like.”

Since he could no longer keep him, he might as well give him a favor. At the very least, He Chuan could not loathe the Imperial Court.

Perhaps he would be bored after a round of sightseeing and might even return to the Imperial Palace.

As a qualified Emperor, he had to know how to maximize the benefits.

Forcing him to stay would only cause dissatisfaction.

“That’s fine!” He Chuan thought about it for a moment. It was indeed inconvenient to go out. If he brought someone with him, at least he would not have to do the cooking and washing.

After He Chuan finished speaking, he had already disappeared from the spot.

Empress Qin Lihua arrived and personally carried the ginseng soup with a worried expression. This was something that she had to do every day.

Zhou Shiming didn’t have much time left. There wasn’t much that she could do.

She pushed open the bedroom door.

Crash!

The ginseng soup in her hand wasn’t held properly. It fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

“Your Majesty!” Qin Lihua shouted in surprise.

“Was I so scary that the Empress was so scared and even threw away the soup!” Zhou Shiming said with a memorial in his hand.

“I was too happy. Your Majesty is really fine now!” Qin Lihua immediately went forward to hold Zhou Shiming’s palm and put it on her face to feel the warmth.

Zhou Shiming briefly told her about He Chuan’s treatment.

He also did not hide the fact that he was about to leave.

“I didn’t expect Little Eunuch He to be a mysterious expert. It seems that it was a wise choice for Ning’er to become his disciple,” Qin Lihua said.

She had been very opposed to this matter before, but now it seemed that she was short-sighted.
