He was an expert in swordsmanship, and he fought like a trapped beast, with extremely fast movements, so that no one could react for a moment.
The cold sword light brushed across Mo Yu's cheek, causing his skin to hurt.
At this moment, Yi Jinyi was stunned where he was, watching the sword getting closer and closer to him!
"If one day I no longer want to be the emperor, would you be willing to follow me?"
Somehow, in my mind, I remembered a question that I had always wanted to ask Mo Yu.
I didn’t dare to ask before, and now... I guess I won’t have the chance anymore, right
Death was approaching rapidly, and Yi Jinyi only had time to take a last, deeply affectionate look at Mo Yu.
That glance contained all the emotions he had towards Mo Yu since they met.
Sorry... for dragging you into this without my permission.
Thank you for staying with me for so long.
After I die, you will be free.
However, he didn't know that this one glance made Mo Yu feel like he was falling into an ice cellar.
The little emperor who always loved to nag beside him...is he going to lose him
Can't!!!
The exhausted body seemed to be injected with new vitality at this moment.
Mo Yu pounced out at an unprecedented speed. He was the first to arrive after starting later, and he jumped over the ferocious jackals and the terrifying sword light, and stood in front of Yi Jinyi!
The next moment, the sword pierced into his chest mercilessly!
Mo Yu gritted his teeth, grasped the sharp sword blade tightly with one hand, and used up his last bit of strength to prevent the sword from passing through his body and hurting the person he was trying to protect!
He growled, his hand that was tightly gripping the sword was covered in blood, and the sound of the sharp blade tearing through flesh and bones made people's scalps numb.
However, the sharp blade was firmly restrained by a fragile hand and could not move forward at all.
The people below finally reacted at this moment. They rushed forward and subdued Yi Qingyu.
"Mo Yu?"
Yi Jinyi looked stupidly at Mo Yu who was lying in his arms, his mind going blank.
His hand slowly touched Mo Yu's bloody cheek, and his voice trembled: "Mo Yu! Mo Yu?"
However, there was no response.
When Yi Qingyu was restrained, Mo Yu had already fallen into coma. However, even in coma, the hand that was tightly gripping the sword never loosened.
“Mo Yu! Wake up soon… Wake up soon, Mo Yu!” Yi Jinyi stretched out his hand tremblingly, trying desperately to cover up the gushing blood. However, no matter how hard he tried, the blood would not stop. “Wake up for me… I won’t let you die, do you hear me! Do you hear me!”
Just when he was at a loss, Goro, who had disappeared at some point, ran in dragging a white-haired old man.
The old man was wearing the official uniform of the Imperial Medical Bureau and carrying a medicine box in his hands. He was dragged along the way and nearly fell down several times.
It was Mr. Li Linzhi, the head of the Imperial Medical Bureau, whose medical skills were famous throughout the world.
Li Linzhi was saying pitifully, "Oh, slow down, slow down, my old bones can't stand the tossing...", then turned around and saw a general with one arm cut off lying on the ground, and a marquis with a stab in the heart in the emperor's arms. He didn't even bother to salute and rushed forward in one step.
The speed was actually several points faster than being dragged by Goro.
Goro silently let go of his hand and stepped aside.
Li Linzhi injected a few needles and stopped the blood from gushing out. He quickly packed up his things and ran to the prince, "His life is saved for now. Quickly move him to the clean room. Don't draw your sword. I will take care of it."
He did not forget that there was another person lying on the ground!
Yi Jinyi took the unconscious Mo Yu back to her own palace without saying anything, which was an honor that even the current queen had never enjoyed. However, Lord Mo was seriously injured in order to protect the emperor, so although everyone looked surprised, they did not have too many doubts.
Li Linzhi kicked out all the people except the medical officer, not even giving the emperor face. Yi Jinyi was anxiously pacing back and forth outside the closed palace door.
With that anxious look, no one would doubt that the person lying inside was the Empress.
The emperor's harem is empty. In such a large harem, there is only one Empress Luo, and not even a concubine. However, even for the Empress, the emperor has never been so anxious and angry.
The suspicion that had originally subsided gradually crept back into the minds of the ministers.
The door was closed tightly and the sky was gradually turning pale.
After guarding outside the door all night, Yi Jinyi's eyes were bloodshot. During the night, the palace servants and eunuchs around him wanted him to go to rest several times, but he waved them away.
After so many times, no one dared to bring it up again.
It was not until dawn that the tightly closed door creaked open.
Li Linzhi, with a tired face, brought a group of medical officers with him. As soon as he opened the door, he saw the emperor's eyes wide open and red. He was immediately startled and woke up instantly.
"Your Majesty..." Li Linzhi was about to salute when Yi Jinyi held her back with one hand, "Doctor Li, please don't be salute. How is Marquis Mo... How is his injury?"
However, Li Linzhi sighed and shook her head before she opened her mouth. Yi Jinyi's heart immediately sank to the bottom of the valley.
The old doctor said slowly, "Lord Mo lost too much blood and injured his heart. Fortunately, he was treated in time and his life was saved, but..."
“…” Why do you have to breathe so heavily when you speak!
Hearing that Mo Yu had saved his life, Yi Jinyi finally breathed a sigh of relief. Li Linzhi was a master of medicine, and since he said so, Mo Yu would definitely be fine.
"But what?" Eunuch Li had served two generations of emperors and was very good at reading people's faces. He asked softly at this moment.
"Although his life has been saved, whether the Marquis can wake up or not depends on his own luck."
Li Linzhi's words made Yi Jinyi, who had just relaxed, feel relaxed again.
"What did you say?! What do you mean by whether I can wake up or not? Explain it to me clearly!" Yi Jinyi's face changed and he said angrily.
The emperor was furious, and immediately frightened all the doctors to the ground. Li Linzhi remained calm, just shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, but... human power is limited. Lord Mo was seriously injured, and he was lucky to be able to save his life. Forgive me for being unable to do anything else."
After saying that, he bowed and said, "Please excuse me, I have to leave first." Then he turned around and left without hesitation.
“Wait!”
Li Linzhi hadn't walked far when Yi Jinyi stopped her in her tracks with a low shout.
Outside the palace gate, everyone lowered their heads and remained silent.
Yi Jinyi clenched his fists hidden in his dragon robe, and clenched them again and again. Finally, he spoke amid everyone's fears:
"Eunuch Li, arrange for a sedan chair to take Doctor Li back. As for the others..." He paused, his voice hoarse, "they can all go as well."
"As you wish." Eunuch Li received the order, and all the ministers, palace maids and medical officers retreated one by one, leaving only the emperor outside the palace gate.
The bright yellow figure stood quietly outside the empty bedroom, and it looked extremely desolate from afar.
