"Heh, you are worried about Us?"

The Sage Emperor smiled and shook his head, continuing to gaze at the capital to the south.

"Yes!"

As Gao Lishi spoke, his eyes dimmed.

No one understood the Sage Emperor's condition more than he did. There wasn't much time left.

"Your Majesty, can we not stop that matter? This will only increase the burden on Your Majesty's body," Gao Lishi said, hinting at something with his words.

"Yuanchong, I know what you are thinking, but death is a normal part of life, and no one can escape it. Have you still not seen this after following me for so long?" he Sage Emperor indifferently said, for the first time calling Gao Lishi by his courtesy name.
