Chapter 1012 - 465: The Secret of the Demon Emperor! Devouring Fu Lingxi!
Suo Lun and Zhi Yan rushed into Ziyu Palace.
King Zibian remained in a coma, and Zhi Ting beside him tightly grasped his emaciated hand, her expression filled with panic and unease.
Gao Yin also arrived here early, appearing very calm, but a careful look at his gaze revealed it to be scattered.
Upon seeing Suo Lun, Zhi Ting said hoarsely, "Suo Lun, come quickly and save him."
Suo Lun stepped forward and gently gripped King Zibian’s wrist pulse, finding it to be extremely weak, almost imperceptible.
"Commandery Princess and Lord Suo Lun had a complete victory; after entering the palace, His Majesty was extremely happy," Gao Yin said. "Furthermore, seeing the child born of Princess Zhining made His Majesty even happier. It was the happiest day of his life and the day he ate the most. But since then, he has been eating less every day, until these past few days, he has hardly been able to eat at all, and it seems he is in a drowsy state most of the time."
Does Suo Lun know why?
These past few years he had been alive because he was supported by one belief.
He needed to live for Zhi Yan and Suo Lun; he must not die before Zhi Li’s defeat. Once he died, Zhi Li would immediately ascend the throne, and Rage Wave Kingdom would become a colony of Yin Zhou.
Therefore, King Zibian, who in theory could have only held on for over half a year, managed to hold on for more than two years.
When Zhi Li was soundly defeated, and Suo Lun and Zhi Yan successfully took over the palace, he completely let go, and the belief that had been sustaining him was gone.
