Ye Cheng's heart softened when he saw Ying Wei's tear-stained face.
He could harden his heart to anyone.
However, facing this little girl who had grown up with him and lived with him for four years, he really couldn't bring himself to be ruthless.
"Your Highness, I'm just a little eunuch sweeping the floor in the library pavilion. How can I have such great abilities? You should wipe your tears first.”
Ye Cheng said as he threw a handkerchief over.
Ying Wei wiped her face with a handkerchief.
She did not say anything else.
Perhaps he was really thinking too much. How could the eunuch be an invincible Half-Saint?
Even an invincible Half-Saint might not be able to save his father.
In the next few days, Ying Wei didn't have many smiles on her face. It was as if she was always depressed. However, she didn't slack off in her cultivation. Instead, she worked harder than before.
Ye Cheng saw this and sighed.
In the blink of an eye, another few months passed.
Emperor Qian's health was getting worse and worse, and he was often bedridden.
The seventeen-year-old Crown Prince Ying Qi began to step onto the stage and preside over the court affairs for his father.
After a few years of growth, Ying Qi already possessed the necessary qualities of the Crown Prince.
Ying Wei would go to Yangxin Palace Hall every day to accompany Emperor Qian, but she didn't slack off on her martial arts cultivation.
In just a few months, Ying Wei had changed a lot, and she had hidden many things in her heart.
"Little Eunuch, I used to think that I could repeat my daily life without any worries. I didn't have to think about anything and didn't have to care about anything. But now, I finally understand…It turns out that all of this is because my father is sheltering me from the wind and rain. My father is sick, very sick. I'm really worried that my father will leave me. What should I do then…Sometimes, I think how good it would be if I could never grow up.”
On this day, Ying Wei spoke to Ye Cheng for a long time, as if she was confiding in him.
Ye Cheng didn't say anything and just listened.
" However, I've thought it through now. Since I can't save Father, I'll continue to work hard and cultivate to become a true peerless expert. In the future, I'll protect Mother, Brother Crown Prince, and the Great Qian Dynasty. This will be my lifelong goal.”
Ying Wei's gaze became extremely determined.
At this moment, Ye Cheng could keenly feel that Ying Wei's spirit had sublimated.
The inner Qi in her body also became more active.
Ye Cheng exclaimed when he saw this. He didn't expect that the changes in her heart during this period of time would actually allow Ying Wei to adapt to martial arts cultivation and finally touch the Upper Sky Realm.
In other words, Ying Wei's path to the Innate Realm was already smooth and unobstructed. The next step was to accumulate enough energy and step into the Innate Realm.
Ye Cheng estimated that it would be enough in less than half a year.
......
Late at night.
Yangxin Palace Hall.
Emperor Qian lay on the bed, his face old and his hair white.
He was not even forty years old, but he looked like an old man in his seventies or eighties.
On the edge of the bed, Empress Shi Yuqi had already fallen asleep on her stomach, a cloak covering her body.
Ever since Emperor Qian was seriously ill, she had been by his side and had lost a lot of weight.
Ever since the two of them got married, they had a deep relationship and respected each other.
After Emperor Qian became the emperor, he had never taken in a concubine. This was rare even in the past dynasties, let alone the past emperors of Da Qian.
At this moment, the door slowly opened and a figure walked in.
They were not the palace maids and eunuchs guarding outside.
Instead, it was a distorted and blurry figure.
This person was naturally Ye Cheng.
He went straight to the dragon bed.
The experts who were secretly protecting Emperor Qian noticed it immediately.
However, they could not move at all.
It was as if they had lost control of their bodies.
They were incomparably shocked.
However, they knew that this mysterious existence was the invincible Half-Saint who had saved His Majesty four years ago.
Therefore, they were not worried that the invincible Half-Saint would hurt His Majesty.
Emperor Qian seemed to have woken up and opened his eyes. He turned his head with difficulty and looked at the distorted figure standing not far away.
"Four years ago, Senior saved my Great Gan from the abyss of suffering. I never had the chance to thank you.”
Emperor Qian's lips moved as he let out a very soft and weak voice.
This was already his limit.
Ye Cheng heard it clearly and said indifferently,""I saved you because I saw that you were still a virtuous ruler. I saved you for the sake of the common people.”
"I know, I know."
Emperor Qian said weakly," I am already satisfied to be able to live for another five years and see the Great Qian Dynasty rise again. However, my son is still too young after I leave. If he really does something that will cause the heavens to resent and anger the people, please teach him a lesson."
"Alright, I'm not here to listen to your nonsense.”
Ye Cheng said.
Then, he waved his hand, and a drop of jade-green medicinal liquid flew out and landed in Emperor Qian's mouth.
In an instant, Emperor Qian's entire body trembled as a rich life force was emitted. It was like a long drought that had just met with dew. Emperor Qian's originally ashen and old face quickly became rosy.
Although his hair was still white, his life force had become much stronger.
Just now, Ye Cheng used a drop of Ten Thousand Wood Spiritual Liquid, which was a small bottle of the system reward for his first check-in.
The main effect was that it contained rich vitality. If it was someone who had been sick for a long time and had exhausted their blood and qi, a drop of Ten Thousand Wood True Essence could completely recover.
However, Emperor Qian's situation was different. Under the Shadowless Soul Destroying Poison, his body suffered irreversible injuries.
To be precise, his lifespan had been shortened.
Originally, he could live for ninety years, but now, he could only live for forty or fifty years at most.
Although Emperor Qian was the emperor and had used all kinds of precious medicines to nurse his body, he still couldn't stop the loss of vitality. He could only try his best to make up for it.
If it was a commoner, it would be good enough if they could live for a year and a half under such circumstances.
Ye Cheng was using the Ten Thousand Wood Spiritual Liquid to replenish Emperor Qian's life force.
However, lifespan could not be replenished unless it was a panacea that could extend one's lifespan.
At least not in Ye City.
This drop of Ten Thousand Wood Spiritual Liquid should be able to sustain Emperor Qian for another ten years.
Ye Cheng thought that he had done his best.
If it wasn't for Ying Wei, he wouldn't have made a move.
After Ye Cheng finished all this, he didn't say anything else and turned around to leave.
However, Emperor Qian felt a huge change in his body. It was as if all his weakness had disappeared and was replaced by an extremely vigorous energy.
"What, what happened to me?”
Emperor Qian's eyes widened.
Wasn't he about to die of illness?
The mysterious Half-Saint had fed him some green liquid, and then his body had undergone earth-shaking changes.
"Thank you, Senior."
Emperor Qian sat up and looked at the place where Ye City had disappeared. His face was filled with endless gratitude.
This was the second life that the senior had given him.
"Your Majesty, why are you up?"
At this moment, Empress Shi Yuqi woke up.
Not only that, a few old eunuchs also appeared in the room.
They could move again after Ye City left. At the same time, they also noticed the huge changes in His Majesty.
