Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 756

Chapter 756: Chapter 753: Resolve for a Battle to the Death_1

Xuanjia heard the sound and turned around, looking at Emperor Yan hesitantly. Then he looked at Xiao Rongyan, his fists clenched tightly.

"It’s useless! The journey is long, and I’m afraid I won’t hold out until Xuanjia arrives in Shuoyang..." Although Murong Yu didn’t want to die and still longed to see a unified and peaceful country, he knew his own body.

This time, his heart and lungs were injured, and he feared he wouldn’t survive. Why tire Xuanjia with a long journey and make Doctor Hong take a useless trip?

"What kind of discouraging words are these!" Xiao Rongyan’s throat tightened as he grasped Murong Yu’s hand firmly. "Mother is watching over us from the heavens. Brother, you’ll be fine! What’s more, Yan is at a critical juncture. For the sake of Yan, you must hold on!"

Murong Yu looked at his solemn-faced younger brother and chuckled lightly. "With you, Ah Yan, Yan is in good hands... I am at ease."

"But because you are here, Brother, I can safely travel to other countries!" Xiao Rongyan squeezed Murong Yu’s hand tightly. He harbored deep emotions, accumulated over the years, from watching his loved ones pass away one by one. "Brother, you will be fine!"

"Ah Yan, I am glad to go and see Mother..." Murong Yu’s lips curled into a faint smile. "Living so many years is already a gift from the heavens; I have no complaints! But not witnessing your marriage to the Princess of Zhen, I fear I can’t face Mother after I go. Ah Yan... life is short; do not let it slip by!"

Xiao Rongyan bit his lip hard, holding back a sob. He maintained his composure and looked up at Murong Yu. "Stop taking Doctor Hong’s medicine for now. Use the hemostatic medicine first. It might be uncomfortable, but please bear with it! The Crown Prince is mediocre and can’t handle major responsibilities. If you’re gone, Kuntian City will fall into chaos. The Empress and the Crown Prince won’t be able to control it! Our entire nation of Yan has struggled to get to this point. If you stop here and watch Kuntian City fall into turmoil, Yan will fracture again! We owe it to Mother... to our ancestors, and most importantly, to the people of Yan who have suffered with us!"

Murong Yu saw the pain in Xiao Rongyan’s heart, masked by a solemn expression, fully focused on the bigger picture. He suddenly felt like his younger brother was still that child who tried to stay calm in everything, not wanting him to worry.

Murong Yu’s eyes reddened slightly, and he nodded. "Alright, I will hold on a bit longer. I will go to Mother later. I must see you get married first."

His tone was like coaxing a child.

But how could Murong Yu not know his own body? Indeed, he couldn’t last long.

He had been bedridden, suffering for years. Murong Yu was never afraid of death but feared that his death would sadden his wife and brother even more, and he was especially worried... that if he died, his always timid and weak wife would follow him in death.

In this world, wanting to die is easy, but wanting to live is hard.

"How about this? I will figure out a way to guard Longan City!" Xiao Rongyan made up his mind. "Have Uncle Feng and Xuanjia escort Brother to Shuoyang. Doctor Feng will surely have a way!"

Murong Yu shook his head. "I still can’t leave. If I go, the morale will scatter! If the morale scatters, Longan City will fall. If Longan City falls and the Xiliang army crosses Liyi and the Tianqu River, the capital of Yan will be in grave danger!"

"Don’t worry, Brother, with me here... Longan City won’t fall." Xiao Rongyan made up his mind and turned to call Feng Yao. "Uncle Feng!"
