Chapter 522: Sarcasm and Imprisonment
Hua Feixue interrupted her angrily, his eyes were bloodshot, "I can't calm down, that's my father, I have to go out and save him!"
"If you don't save him, he'll die."
If I hadn’t heard the voice, if I hadn’t seen the other person’s appearance.
Hua Feixue simply couldn't believe that his once handsome, talkative and cheerful father had turned into the haggard, frail old man he is now.
His hair is grey, his beard is untidy, and he can't even speak coherently. It seems as if his life will end at any moment.
Emperor Chu is only forty years old as an emperor. Forty years old is the prime of life, but now he looks like he is in his seventies or eighties.
From this, one can imagine how Empress Dowager Yuan tortured Emperor Chu during the two years that he was away.
When Hua Feixue thought of this, she felt as if she had swallowed thousands of needles.
This secret room is dark and there is no sunlight at all.
His father was imprisoned in there, chained like a dog, and had to endure the pain of losing his wife and son, as well as the occasional sarcasm from Empress Dowager Yuan.
How desperate must he be, and how helpless must he feel?
I'm afraid I can't even commit suicide!
Ji Yuntang looked at Hua Feixue's red eyes. He had always been heartless, but when he saw the look on his loved one's face, he couldn't help but shed tears.
He lowered his head, his back was bent, and he looked extremely depressed.
Ji Yuntang wanted to comfort him, but she didn't know what to say. She opened her mouth and said, "I know you are worried about your father, but it is not the right time for us to leave now."
"I promised you that I would save him, and I will definitely save him. Please wait a little longer..."
She always felt that Queen Yuan came here not just to mock Emperor Chu.
She should have something else to say to Emperor Chu.
Hua Feixue's eyes were red, and her voice was hoarse as she asked Ji Yuntang, "Can you really save my father?"
He hasn't seen Emperor Chu for two years and doesn't know his specific situation.
All I heard was that he was very ill and unable to attend court, so Empress Dowager Yuan arranged for him to recuperate in a palace.
Hua Feixue originally thought that Emperor Chu was an emperor after all, and was also a hostage used by Empress Dowager Yuan to threaten him. Even if his life was not good, at least his status was there, and he would definitely have servants serving him.
But now it seems that there is none at all.
The stone bed was covered with filth. Next to the pillow were two hard-looking steamed buns and a plate of unknown side dishes. The bowl for eating also looked like it had not been washed for a long time and was covered with dust and dirt.
Even the bowl of water next to it had turned black.
He is a patient. How can he eat in such an environment and with such food?
If this isn’t abuse, then what is?
Before meeting Emperor Chu, Hua Feixue still had illusions, thinking that Emperor Chu was just sick and that as long as Ji Yuntang could cure him, that would be enough!
But after seeing Emperor Chu, Hua Feixue no longer felt confident.
He stared blankly at the man lying on the bed, his heart numb with pain.
If he saw correctly, Emperor Chu was lying there limply, without any strength at all.
Although he was very emotional and struggled violently when Queen Dowager Yuan approached him.
However, the chain that bound him did not move at all.
Hua Feixue didn’t dare to think about whether the tendons in Emperor Chu’s hands and feet were cut by Empress Dowager Yuan?
He was a martial artist and knew very well what it felt like when the tendons in one's hands or feet were broken.
He didn't dare to guess whether Ji Yuntang could reconnect his broken tendons.
If he fails to connect, then his father will become a useless person in the future, right?
The pain of losing his wife and son had already made him feel worse than death, and if he became disabled in the future.
With his temper, how could he endure the pain of being unable to stand up for the rest of his life?
Ji Yuntang had also been observing Emperor Chu's condition. Although she hadn't taken his pulse at close range, he looked even more miserable and serious than she had imagined.
However, she had full faith in healing.
Ji Yuntang said: "I know what you are afraid of. You are afraid that your father will become disabled and never be able to stand up again."
"I, the princess, cannot help you relieve the pain in your heart, but the physical symptoms are nothing to me."
"You know, my prince is a good example. He was arranged by his mother to lie on an ice stone bed for three years. No one was willing to serve him. He could only eat liquid food every day. No one was even willing to change his clothes and the mattress under him."
"Your father can at least move, but Ah He can't even move. I can cure him, so are you still afraid that I can't cure your father?"
Hua Feixue moved her lips, but had nothing to refute.
Luo Junhe's illness was no secret in Dongchen Kingdom. As the god of war in the hearts of the people, he was already very famous in Dongchen Kingdom.
Therefore, the news that he had become paralyzed and turned into a vegetable spread quickly.
Even Hua Feixue, the leader of the Blood Rain Sect, had heard of it.
At first, he just sighed in his heart, lamenting that a generation of war god might have fallen.
But unexpectedly, the appearance of Ji Yuntang pulled him back from the brink of death.
Hua Feixue thought that the last time he saw Luo Junhe, he was almost recovered except that he was sitting in a wheelchair with his legs unable to move!
He wouldn't believe this kind of thing unless he saw it with his own eyes.
Now knowing that Ji Yuntang came from the future, Hua Feixue's hope was rekindled.
Maybe she was the one sent by God to save these people from such a tragic fate?
After taking a deep breath, Hua Feixue looked at Ji Yuntang, "Princess Ye, I was impulsive just now. I believe you."
"As long as you can cure my father, I will do whatever you say."
Ji Yuntang saw Empress Dowager Yuan's lips move, and quickly made a gesture to Hua Feixue to keep quiet.
"Shh... stop arguing and listen to what the old witch has to say."
As soon as Hua Feixue closed her mouth, the sarcastic voice of Empress Dowager Yuan rang out from the screen.
She stood beside Emperor Chu's bed, looking down at him with disdain.
"Do you really think I came here today just to see you?"
"I might as well tell you a good news. After you hear it, please don't thank me."
She leaned down slightly, and a sneer suddenly appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"Your only son, Chu Yi, is now dead. He died in a fire. When he was found, his entire body was burnt and his face was completely distorted. His death was horrible to look at."
"Tomorrow is the day of his burial. I have already sent out orders to have your queen's grave dug up so that your son and your queen can be buried together."
"As for you, you are no longer of any use to me. After your son is buried, I will send you off with me and bury you separately from the two of them."
