Tonight, the Imperial Building was different from the bustle of the past and seemed a little deserted.

Especially the second floor has been reserved and no outsiders are allowed in.

After Lu Chen revealed his identity, he led Xie Sinian and Wang Xuan upstairs.

At this moment, there was only one person sitting in the VIP area on the second floor.

This person was dressed in black. He had an ordinary appearance, an ordinary build, and a very ordinary temperament. He had almost no features on his body. He was the kind of person who would be hard to spot in a crowd.

"I have met His Highness in this humble position!"

Seeing Lu Chen appear, the man immediately knelt down on one knee and bowed his head in salute.

"Who are you?"

Lu Chen asked calmly

"My humble name is Sun Tong, and I am the prince's personal guard. When the prince learned that you were in trouble, he immediately sent me to help you." The man named Sun Tong lowered his head and said.

"Personal guard?"

Lu Chen looked up and down and asked again: "How do you prove your identity?"

He is not a newbie in the world. He must ask questions clearly about things like this. It is impossible to just believe what the other party says.

"This is a token given by the prince to his humble position. Please take a look at it."

Sun Tong took out a token from his pocket and handed it over with both hands.

Lu Chen took it and took a look and finally let down his guard.

The token is indeed the token of the Xiliang Palace, and only the highly trusted personal guards are eligible to obtain it.

This token is enough to prove the identity of the other party.

"General Sun, we are all our own people, no need to be polite, please get up."

Lu Chen returned the token and helped Sun Tong up at the same time.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Sun Tong looked flattered.

"General Sun, let me introduce you. This is Zeng Jin's deputy general of the Chinese Army, Xie Sinian, General Xie." Lu Chen stretched out his hand to guide Xie Sinian.

"I have met General Xie, and I have heard about General Xie for a long time. I am truly lucky to see him today!" Sun Tong immediately clasped his fists and saluted.

"General Sun, you're welcome. I'm already old. From now on, you young people will rule the world." Xie Sinian smiled.

"This is Wang Xuan, my friend." Lu Chen directed Wang Xuan again.

"Brother Wang!" Sun Tong clasped his fists again.

To be able to become a friend of His Highness is obviously not an ordinary person.

"General Sun!" Wang Xuan returned the gesture with his fists clasped.

"Okay, we all know each other, let's sit down."

Lu Chen waved to several people to take their seats, and asked at the same time: "General Sun, I have a few questions that I would like to ask you."

"Excuse me, Your Highness, you must tell everything you know in your humble position!" Sun Tong lowered his head.

"I heard that there has been some trouble in Xiliang Prince's Palace recently. Is it true or false?" Lu Chen asked.

"It's not really troublesome, it's just some spies doing some careful work. They've been active recently, and the palace has arrested a lot of people." Sun Tong replied truthfully.

"Lu Wanjun...how is your health?" Lu Chen finally asked the answer he wanted to know most.

"Your Majesty, your health has always been good." Sun Tong forced a smile.

"Answer honestly! No falsehoods!" Lu Chen suddenly shouted.

Sun Tong was startled, and with a "thud", he knelt down and said in panic: "Back to Your Highness, the prince's health is indeed not very good. He often coughs up blood in the middle of the night. He has sought many miracle doctors to no avail. In order to avoid worrying you.

, Your Majesty has been hiding it from us and not letting us tell you. There is really nothing we can do about it because of our humble position. Please forgive me, Your Highness!"

"Coughing up blood in the middle of the night? Could it be that even the miracle doctor from Xiliang can't cure this disease?" Lu Chen frowned deeply.

"The miracle doctor said it was a terminal disease and there was no cure." Sun Tong cried sadly.

"Terminally ill?" Lu Chen's face darkened: "How long does Lu Wanjun have?"

"As short as half a month, as long as one year." Sun Tong's words were astonishing.
