Chapter 876: Mei Changsu is seriously ill and on his deathbed
The house is filled with the smell of traditional Chinese medicine. This is where Mei Changsu lives. This smell has been with Mei Changsu for more than ten years.
In fact, ever since Mei Changsu removed poison and cut bones in Langya Mountain, his body needs medicine every day to maintain it. It's just a matter of how much.
More than ten years later, his body was running out of fuel, and even the best drugs could no longer sustain his life.
Mei Changsu was lying on the bed with his eyes closed. He had been in this state for the past half month. He only woke up for a short time every day and depended on medicine to stay alive. He was similar to the former Empress Dowager, except that he had strong willpower.
A little, so the time to wake up is relatively longer.
There were several people standing in front of the bed, Zhou Chen, Lin Chen, Doctor Yan, Mu Nihuang and Meng Zhi, as well as Xiao Jingyan, who had been on the throne for four years.
Zhou Chen, Lin Chen and Doctor Yan took turns taking Mei Changsu's pulse, but after finishing, no one spoke first.
Meng Zhi was the most impatient. When he saw that the three of them were silent, he said anxiously: "How about Xiao Shu, but you guys are talking?"
Doctor Yan stood aside and said nothing, while Lin Chen held his chin and winked at Zhou Chen.
In the end, Zhou Chen sighed softly and said, "In fact, you all should know what his condition is, but you just don't want to admit it."
Meng Zhi, Mu Nihuang and Jamel Xiao all turned pale, and Meng Zhi's strong body trembled a few times.
"How is it possible? He was fine a few days ago. How could it happen so quickly? How could it happen like this?"
Zhou Chen's face was also heavy, and he glanced at Mei Changsu, whose breathing was not steady.
"In the past year, he has actually been relying on medicine and my internal strength to maintain his health. But in fact, his body has long been riddled with holes. To this day, medicine can no longer maintain his vitality."
Meng Zhi looked at Zhou Chen hopefully: "Then use your inner strength. Your pure Yang inner strength is unparalleled in the world. It is very effective in treating internal injuries. Please save him."
Zhou Chen glanced at him but said nothing.
Lin Chen explained: "Chang Su's body has accumulated a lot of damage and it is difficult to recover. Let alone junior brother, his current internal strength cultivation level will not have any effect even if he takes a further step."
Meng Zhi looked ugly and muttered to himself: "Is there really no other way?"
Lin Chen said: "If there is really a way, do you think we won't use it? You are not the only one who cares about Chang Su, junior brother, he cares more than you."
Although Meng Zhi has a deep relationship with Mei Changsu, compared with Zhou Chen, he is still far behind. Zhou Chen should be the main contributor to Mei Changsu's survival in recent years.
Jamel Xiao then asked: "Zhou Qing, you used your incredible medical skills to help my great-grandmother extend her life by three months. Can't you use it on Xiao Shu this time?"
Zhou Chen replied: "Xiao Shu's situation is different from that of my great-grandmother. In other words, I have already used this method on him, and now he has really..."
Since he came to this world, he has almost always been with Mei Changsu. The two are close friends of life and death. Of course he doesn't want to see Mei Changsu die, but he really has no choice.
Although he has lived in so many worlds and seen many life and death separations, at this moment, he still felt very uncomfortable.
Speaking of which, Mei Changsu was only in his thirties. If he hadn't been poisoned by fire and cold in the battle of Meiling, he would have lived for at least several decades.
However, there are not so many buts in life.
It is precisely because he has seen so many separations between life and death that Zhou Chen understands more clearly how lucky he is to have a golden finger like the system.
Now, in a sense, he is like an immortal.
As long as he can keep traveling through time and complete the main tasks of the system, he can live countless lives.
Hearing this, Jamel Xiao's face became even more gloomy. As the Emperor of Daliang, he is above all others and has the highest honor. There are not many people in the world that he can care about, and Mei Changsu is the most special one.
Even after four years as emperor, his feelings for Mei Changsu have not changed. On the contrary, as Mei Changsu's body becomes weaker and weaker, he feels even more guilty and unable to let go.
"Is there really no other way?"
No one in the room spoke. There was really no other way. But if there was some way, it would be impossible for Zhou Chen and the three doctors not to help with the treatment.
After being silent for a long time, Mei Changsu slowly opened his eyes on the bed.
"Everyone is here."
Mei Changsu's face was very pale and looked bloodless, but he still managed to keep himself up and talk to Zhou Chen and the others.
"Xiao Shu." "Xiao Shu." "Brother."
Jamel Xiao, Meng Zhi and Mu Nihuang all stepped forward and looked at Mei Changsu nervously.
Mei Changsu smiled: "Xiaochen, help me up, I want to lean on you."
Zhou Chen lifted Mei Changsu's upper body up, propped it up with something, and leaned against the head of the bed.
Mei Changsu breathed out. He felt that his head was very heavy and his body was cramping. Even his breathing was not smooth, dull and breathless.
He is still very aware of his own body. He knows that he has run out of fuel and may die at any time, so there are some things that he must explain while he is still alive.
"His Majesty."
Jamel Xiao said hurriedly: "Xiao Shu, tell me."
Mei Changsu smiled. He wanted to recreate the straightforward and innocent smile of the past, but he found that he could no longer smile like he did back then.
"Your Majesty, you are actually in charge of all the people in the world. You should not worry about me. I am just a dying person. The country and country of Daliang are the most important thing, cough cough."
Zhou Chen patted Mei Changsu on the back and helped him calm down.
"Xiao Shu, why are you talking about this? What you have to do now is to take good care of your body. Don't talk about this."
"No, if you don't say it now, you may not have the chance in the future. Your Majesty, listen to me."
Jamel Xiao's voice was choked with sobs: "Okay, you say it, I'll listen."
"The main beam is the main beam for everyone, the people are the most important..."
Mei Changsu talked a lot in one breath, but every time he said a few words, he would keep coughing, his breathing was very bad, and he would gasp for air.
He told Jamel Xiao all his thoughts about the country, and Jamel Xiao listened very seriously. Even after he became the emperor, he still had 100% trust in Mei Changsu, who single-handedly supported him in becoming emperor.
"Your Majesty, I have nothing else to ask for in this life. There is only one thing I want to shamelessly ask of you, Xin'er, Xin'er, he will be in the future..."
Before he finished speaking, Jamel Xiao held his hands and said firmly: "Xiao Shu, don't worry, no matter what in the future, I will treat my new son like a parent, and all the glory of the Lin family will be with him in the future.
Restart, as long as I live, I will keep him safe."
Hearing Jamel Xiao's words, Mei Changsu felt relieved and whispered softly: "Thank you, Jingyan."
Jamel Xiao couldn't help but burst into tears. Compared with the title of 'Your Majesty,' this 'Jingyan' was what he loved to hear the most.
"Brother Meng."
Mei Changsu looked at Meng Zhi again.
"Xiao Shu." Meng Zhi, a strong-willed man, choked up with sobs as he looked at Lin Shu's frail appearance.
"Brother Meng, thank you. I owe it to you to take care of me when I was in the capital. Without you, nothing would have been possible."
"Xiao Shu, stop talking. You have a good rest and take good care of yourself. We will talk later."
"Thank you, Brother Meng, you are the elder brother Lin Shu respects most in his life."
"Xiao Shu..."
Meng Zhi couldn't bear to look anymore, turned around and cried softly.
Everyone could see that Mei Changsu was arranging the funeral arrangements, how could they not be sad.
Mei Changsu suddenly said: "Xiaochen, Nihuang, I have something to tell you."
When the other people heard what Mei Changsu said, they all left the room silently, leaving only Zhou Chen and Mu Nihuang.
Mu Nihuang also sat beside Mei Changsu's bed, looking at him with red eyes and concern.
Mei Changsu showed a smile, then his smile faded, and he said to Mu Nihuang with guilt: "Nihuang, I can't help you. If it hadn't been for you and me to be married, you wouldn't be alone now.
.”
Although Mu Nihuang felt uncomfortable, she still smiled and said: "How can I blame you? I can only say that you are too good, brother Lin Shu. I have always followed your example, so I look down on other men."
"What are you talking about? Nihuang, I don't have much time left, but I don't want to see you alone for the rest of your life."
As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed Mu Nihuang's hand with a slight trembling, then grabbed Zhou Chen's hand and put their hands together.
"Xiao Chen, I know you have Nihuang in your heart, but because of me, you never dare to show it. I tried to persuade you at first, but every time you wanted to say it, you changed the subject. You didn't want to.
Keep talking to me, but I still want to say it now, just as my last request."
"Xiaochen, don't feel sorry for me. Really, in my heart, only you are worthy of Nihuang. I hope you can open your heart."
Zhou Chen didn't know what to say. Looking at Mei Changsu's pleading look, he really couldn't say no.
Mei Changsu said to Mu Nihuang again: "Nihuang, I also know that you have Xiaochen in your heart. Like him, you are worried about me. I know that you are all thinking about me, but you will suffer this.
Grievance, this is not what I want to see."
"Nihuang, although Xiaochen is carefree, I know him. He is a truly responsible man. Only by handing you over to him can I rest assured."
"Brother Lin Shu, please stop talking."
Mu Nihuang's tears fell one drop after another, and she felt more and more guilty. Her brother was already like this, and he still remembered her, but she couldn't do anything for her brother.
"No, I want to say, Nihuang, I really hope you will think carefully about Xiaochen. He is worthy of your trust. I don't have many regrets in this life. If I can see you and Xiaochen together, I will sincerely bless you."
you."
Mu Nihuang still wanted to say something, but Zhou Chen grabbed her hand forcefully, and under Mu Nihuang's surprised eyes, he gave a serious answer.
"Xiao Shu, you are right. I do have Nihuang in my heart. I promise you that I will take good care of Nihuang and will never break my promise."
Seeing Zhou Chen's eyes, Mu Nihuang no longer hesitated and said the same: "Brother, I also promise you that as long as he does not abandon me, I am willing to accompany him for the rest of his life."
When Mei Changsu heard the answers from Zhou Chen and Mu Nihuang, a happy smile appeared on his face, and his face seemed to turn red.
"That's great."
"Cough cough, cough cough, cough cough..."
Not sure if he was too happy, but Mei Changsu suddenly had trouble breathing and coughed violently. Zhou Chen and Mu Nihuang rushed to help him. It took a while before he felt better.
"Xiao Chen, please go and call Uncle Thirteen, Li Gang and Zhen Ping."
"good."
Zhou Chen and Mu Nihuang walked out of the room. As soon as they went out, everyone watching outside started asking how Mei Changsu was doing.
"Mr. Thirteen, Li Gang, Zhen Ping, Xiao Shu ask you to come in."
Mr. Thirteen, Li Gang and Zhen Ping all changed their expressions and walked into the room together.
"Uncle Thirteen, Li Gang, Zhen Ping, you are the people I trust the most. I originally thought that after I left, you would do what you want to do, but now I can only ask you to stay.
Although Xiaochen and the others will take care of Xin'er, and they will definitely take good care of him, I still feel uneasy, and I want you to help me take care of Xin'er."
"Sect Master (young master), don't worry, we will protect you to the death."
A few years ago, when Lin Xin had just adopted the baby, Mei Changsu told them about this matter. They agreed without hesitation at that time, and it is the same now.
"Well, with you, I feel relieved. The Jiangzuo League is still there, and Xiaochen will be the sect leader from now on. When Xin'er grows up, if the Jiangzuo League is still there, he will be the new sect leader of the Jiangzuo League...
"
Mei Changsu gave many instructions and handed over all his power to Zhou Chen, Li Gang and Zhen Ping to assist Zuo Linxin.
At the end, both Li Gang and Zhen Ping fell to their knees and choked with sobs.
Finally, Mei Changsu called others in, especially Lin Xin and Gong Yu.
He devoted all his sincerity to Lin Xin, his son. If it weren't for his physical condition, he would have loved to teach Lin Xin everything he knew.
As he said, after Chi Yan fell out of love, he didn't have many regrets. The biggest regret was that he couldn't watch Lin Xin grow up.
Although he knew that Lin Xin was the biological son of Zhou Chen and Gong Yu, he still asked and begged Gong Yu to take good care of Lin Xin.
On this day, Mei Changsu talked too much until he finally fell into a deep sleep.
Everyone who left felt very heavy. Everyone knew that Mei Changsu's time was running out. It might be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow...
Zhou Chen has been living in Su's house these days, not going anywhere, just staying by Mei Changsu's side. He wants to accompany this best brother through the last journey of his life.
Mei Changsu woke up again and saw Zhou Chen sitting not far from him, reading the slips.
"Xiaochen."
Zhou Chen turned around and said, "Wake up, if there's anything you want to eat, I'll get it for you."
Mei Changsu shook his head and asked, "I'm not hungry. Is it snowing outside?"
Although he hasn't been awake much recently, he also knows that it's winter now, but his room has always been warm and he can't feel the winter chill.
"Yes, winter has already begun, but it hasn't snowed yet. But according to my observation, there should be snow in the next few days."
This is not because he watched the stars at night, but because he has lived for a long time and has mastered some experiences.
"Is it going to snow? It's great. I really want to see another heavy snowfall. In that case, I won't have any regrets."
Mei Changsu's eyes were full of hope. His body was particularly afraid of the cold, but during this time, he really wanted to see snow. Whenever it snowed, he would think of his parents and that winter.
Zhou Chen said: "Your wish will come true. When the time comes, I will accompany you to watch the snow. It will be just the two of us, just like under the cliff that year."
Mei Changsu showed a bright smile: "Okay, then it's settled, it's just the two of us."
