Chapter 707 Teacher!
Hu Bugui suddenly shuddered.
Without even a moment's hesitation, he strode forward quickly, his back straight, his hands subconsciously placed at his sides, palms slightly turned inward, and blurted out, "Your Majesty, General Qin is still in Chang'an, Your Majesty!"
"Chang'an? Then where am I? In Nanjing?"
Li Chengqian's brows knitted instantly, and a sharp light flashed in his originally chaotic and lifeless eyes for the first time. The rhetorical question made Hu Bugui's heart tighten suddenly.
Hu Bugui stood there in a daze, his eyes full of disbelief.
He just stared at Li Chengqian, his mouth slightly open, his entire body in a state of extreme shock. It took him a long time to find his voice, and he stammered, "Your Majesty, you...how did you know we were in Nanjing now?"
At this moment, his heart was in turmoil and he couldn't calm down.
Recalling the journey from Chang'an to Nanjing, Your Majesty was always in a dazed and confused state.
The culprit behind all this is Ma Fei San.
Although Ma Fei San temporarily relieved the severe pain caused by His Majesty's rheumatism, the side effect made His Majesty lost in a dream from which he could never wake up, and isolated himself from the world.
Hu Bugui has always been very clear in his mind that His Majesty's wind disease is fierce and stubborn, and there is almost no way to treat it except craniotomy.
A craniotomy means operating a knife on the human head. If there is any mistake, it will lead to an abyss of no return. Not only will it not save Your Majesty, it may also cause Your Majesty to die on the spot.
Therefore, before this, Hu Bugui thought that His Majesty would suffer in the illusory peace created by Ma Fei San until one day the drug resistance of Ma Fei San completely disappeared.
By then, Your Majesty would probably be awakened abruptly in excruciating pain.
According to previous accurate estimates, it would take at least two months for the effectiveness of Ma Fei San to be completely exhausted, but who could have imagined that His Majesty would wake up early without any warning.
What is even more incredible is that His Majesty actually knows clearly that he is now in Nanjing.
This shocking situation was like an unbridgeable chasm and a mystery that could not be solved for Hu Bugui, who was obsessed with medicine and had devoted himself to pharmacological research for many years.
He racked his brains and went through all the medical knowledge he knew in his mind, but he couldn't figure out how a patient who had been "bound" and controlled by Ma Fei San for so long could know his own location in some magical way.
When Li Chengqian heard Hu Bugui's question full of doubt, his originally dull pupils suddenly dilated and a trace of panic quickly flashed in his eyes.
His lips also began to tremble slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but was speechless for a moment. After a long while, he repeated himself again: "Nanjing, am I really in Nanjing?"
In an instant, an indescribable sour feeling seemed to suddenly surge out from a corner of the deepest part of his heart, and then spread to his whole body at an extremely fast speed, making his body tremble slightly.
At this moment, his mind and his heart were filled with Qin Ruzhao's figure. He was so eager and longing to see the other person immediately.
In this sudden, unfamiliar and somewhat dazed state of wakefulness, unable to see Qin Ruzhao, he felt as if half of his heart had been forcibly dug out, leaving him feeling empty, as if he had lost his soul.
His nose suddenly felt sore, and his eyes instantly turned red. His voice unconsciously became choked with sobs as he murmured, "It was Ruzhao, it was Ruzhao who woke me up and told me I was in Nanjing."
He paused for a moment, calmed down his emotions, and then asked anxiously: "Where is Xianhuai? Where is Xianhuai now?"
At the same time, in the Nanjing Imperial Palace, the lights were bright, but the atmosphere was solemn and depressing.
Everyone gathered together early, their eyes fixed on the closed door.
Finally, the door was slowly opened, and Li Chengqian, supported carefully by Hu Bugui, walked out slowly with some staggering steps.
The room suddenly became eerily quiet, so quiet that one could almost hear the sound of a pin drop. Everyone's eyes were focused on His Majesty.
Everyone looked at His Majesty who had regained consciousness. Their faces were stunned at first, and a moment of astonishment flashed across their faces, as if they couldn't believe their eyes. Then, the uncontrollable excitement quickly spread among the crowd.
Especially Chen Fusheng and Zhao Fusheng, they still remember the terrible appearance when they first saw His Majesty being carried in. At that time, His Majesty's face was as pale as paper and lifeless, which scared them to death.
During that time, Brother Hu was always sighing and muttering, "It's difficult, it's really difficult!"
But who could have expected that His Majesty would create a miracle and miraculously wake up.
This instantly dispelled the heavy haze that had been hanging over everyone's heads for many days, and everyone was immersed in this sudden joy.
Even Li Ke, who was usually cold as ice, couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly at this moment.
Li Chengqian's gaze slowly swept over everyone around him, his eyes full of anticipation, trying to find the shadow of Qin Ruzhao among these familiar faces.
But every time he glanced at a face, the sense of loss in his heart increased uncontrollably.
His voice trembled slightly: "Xianhuai, why, why didn't you bring Ruzhao here?"
Then he slowly turned his head and looked at Li Ke.
"Derun, why don't you bring my Ruzhao here?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the room suddenly became as quiet as death. Everyone was silent. The air seemed to be completely frozen at this moment, making people feel extremely depressed.
Everyone present knew clearly that there must be a very important figure in His Majesty's team to stay in Chang'an to provide support. Otherwise, this "big show" that they had carefully planned and prepared for a long time would not be able to be performed realistically and would not achieve the desired effect.
Li Jingyou is not someone who is easily fooled. He is suspicious and meticulous by nature. At the slightest sign of trouble, he will immediately become alert and doubt everything.
Qin Ruzhao, who commands a large number of troops and enjoys high prestige in the army, is undoubtedly the best person to stabilize Li Jingyou and make him relax his vigilance.
Recalling the time when Li Ke personally went to persuade Qin Ruzhao to come to Nanjing together, Qin Ruzhao just uttered two words with an extremely firm expression: I won't go.
Li Ke did not try to persuade him any further, but bowed solemnly to Qin Ruzhao.
In Li Ke's life, apart from showing such great courtesy to his father and brother, Qin Ruzhao was the first person to do so.
Seeing that everyone was silent and no one stood up to answer his question, Li Chengqian's eyes gradually turned red and tears kept welling up in them.
He looked at Zhang Xianhuai again, his voice trembling slightly and choked with sobs.
"Xian Huai, Ru Zhao and you grew up together, studied and learned to read together, were promoted to officials and nobles together, and fought together, going through life and death together, and going through so many ups and downs."
"You are all my most proud and valued students. How could you bear to let Ruzhao stay alone in Chang'an?"
Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Zhang Xianhuai lowered his head even deeper, almost burying it in the ground. He slowly knelt on the ground, his voice filled with guilt and a hint of tears, as he softly called out, "Teacher!"
