Chapter 759 The whole country mourns
However, there was no need for Ye Huang to explain, Gu Xu had already guessed her intention.
She is using her "secret" power to try to hide Gu Xu outside the rules and avoid this fatal threat in the face of the counterattack force of the Great Avenue of Heaven and Earth.
"You...stop..." Gu Xu said weakly, every word seemed to be squeezed out of his throat with difficulty, as if he had exhausted his last strength after speaking these few words.
He didn't want the Night Emperor to be involved in his confrontation with the Dao Backlash.
Even he who is only one step away from the Ninth Realm cannot withstand this terrifying power, let alone the Night Emperor who currently only controls three powers.
But the Night Emperor ignored him completely.
She seemed to have suddenly become possessed by a demon, desperately trying to use her authority to confront the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.
"Think about it... our children..." Gu Xu said again.
Hearing the words "our child", the Night Emperor was finally stunned for a moment and stopped.
She felt a little dazed at the moment.
She was obviously with him for the sake of her children, the interests of the clan, and the continuation of her bloodline.
But today, when he was dying, she almost forgot about the child in her belly, and only his face, as pale as paper, could be seen in her mind.
At the same time, Zhao Yan, Shangguan Jin and Xiao Wanjun also rushed to the palace one after another.
They gathered around Gu Xu's bed, looking anxious and nervous, looking at him intently.
Behind them, Jiang Zhaoyue also quietly followed.
Because her relationship with Gu Xu "pretending to be a Taoist couple" was still hidden in the dark and not known to everyone, she hesitated in front of the door for a moment.
However, when she found that everyone's eyes were focused on Gu Xu and no one noticed her at all, she felt relieved, quickly crossed the threshold, and squeezed gently to the bedside.
When her eyes fell on Gu Xu's face, which was dripping with blood and covered with black lines, like broken porcelain, she couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice. She covered her eyes with her hands in panic, as if she couldn't accept the sight before her.
After a moment, she slowly put down her hands, her eyes filled with disbelief and a hint of concern that she was not even aware of.
At this time, Jiang Zhaoyue noticed that her sister, who always loved cleanliness and paid great attention to her image, actually wiped the blood from the corner of Gu Xu's mouth with her own hands.
What shocked her even more was that her sister's belly was slightly bulging!
"Sister is pregnant?" She widened her eyes, wondering, "When did it happen?"
Relying on the blood connection between her and her sister, as well as the Dragon Clan's keen sense of Dao Ze's aura, she almost instantly confirmed that the child's father was Gu Xu.
All along, her sister has used her "secret" power to deliberately conceal the relationship between herself and Gu Xu, preventing Jiang Zhaoyue from discovering it.
But today, the Emperor of the Night focused all his attention on Gu Xu, and he was negligent for a moment, forgetting to cover his slightly bulging belly with his "secret" authority, and did not notice Jiang Zhaoyue appearing at the foot of the bed.
She took out a crystal-clear elixir from her sleeve, shining with golden and green light like glass, with ancient dragon patterns faintly flowing on the surface, as if there was an invisible dragon's breath surrounding it. .
"This is the 'Cang Long Return to Heaven Pill' unique to the Dragon Clan in the Lingxiao Realm," she said as she fed the pill to Gu Xu's mouth. "As long as you still have a breath, just one pill can turn the world around." Life or death." Gu Xu tilted his head slightly, gritted his teeth, and was determined, refusing to take the pill.
He knew that this "Canglong Huitian Pill" was originally made for the Dragon Clan, and its effect would be greatly reduced when used on humans.
Furthermore, he is now targeted by the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and no pills will help. Rather than wasting such precious things in vain, it is better to leave them to the Night Emperor or his children to save their lives at critical moments.
The Night Emperor forced the elixir into his mouth, obviously out of impulse and with a bit of a dead horse mentality.
At this moment, the eunuch Han Shunxi hurried to the palace, bowed his hands and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, ladies and gentlemen, hundreds of people have gathered outside the gate of Changchun Garden. They are holding various precious medicinal materials in their hands, saying... In order to save His Majesty’s life, they refused to leave no matter how hard we tried.”
Before Han Shunxi finished speaking, Gu Xu frowned slightly, not knowing whether it was because of the pain on his body or because of the content of his report.
"Who are they? What medicinal materials did they bring?" Shangguan Jin glanced at Gu Xu's expression and asked for him.
Han Shunxi answered cautiously: "The leader was an old man who claimed to be a herb farmer who had been collecting herbs for generations, and he brought a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum that had been collected for generations.
"There are two other people. One of them is carrying a ginseng with roots like a horned dragon. It is said to be picked from the top of the mountain. The other is holding a snow-capped plum fruit, which is said to be a rare treasure in the snowy area. It can resolve hundreds of poisons and extend longevity...
"These people knelt at the gate of Changchun Garden and refused to get up. They said that His Majesty is a monarch respected by all people. He once saved the people from water and fire and was their benefactor. Now that His Majesty is seriously injured, they have no way to repay them and are only willing to do their best. Yes, I can offer you this small gift.
"They also said that if His Majesty does not accept these medicinal materials, they will kneel there until the end of the world."
After listening to Han Shunxi's report, Gu Xu had a complicated look in his eyes.
He raised a hand slightly and said in a weak but clear voice: "These medicinal materials...cannot be collected."
Han Shun was delighted to hear the words, his face suddenly became anxious, and he couldn't help but persuade: "Your Majesty! The wilderness can be without anyone, but it can't be without you! These things are treasures in the world, maybe they can really save your life, why don't you give it a try Try? ”
Gu Xu lowered his eyelids slightly, with a hint of exhaustion in his tone: "I understand their thoughts...but...but now, I am considered a useless person, and these medicinal materials...there is really no need to waste them on me.
"Go and persuade them to go back, just say...just say this is my order...if anyone disobeys the order, the punishment according to the law is..."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Han Shunxi felt the unquestionable majesty contained in Gu Xu's weak words, and immediately bowed and responded respectfully.
But at the moment he spoke, his nose felt sore, and a salty tear flowed into his mouth involuntarily.
Bits and pieces of the past emerged in his mind: Your Majesty had changed his destiny and personally taught him the skills to practice.
He thought that he would serve His Majesty all his life and witness His Majesty create an unprecedented glorious era in the wild world.
But who would have thought that His Majesty would actually walk ahead of him.
A deep sadness came over me. Han Shunxi really didn't dare to think about what the wilderness would be like without His Majesty. He even dared not think about what he would do if His Majesty was lost in the palace.
"Wait..." Just when Han Shunxi turned around and was about to leave, Gu Xu called out in a low voice.
