Chapter 1732
Tonight, the Imperial Building was different from the bustle of the past and seemed a little deserted.
Especially the second floor, which 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 man was dressed in black. He had an ordinary appearance, an ordinary figure, 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.

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, finally letting go of his guard.
The token is indeed the token of the Xiliang Palace, and only the most 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. It is such a blessing to
see him today!” Sun Tong immediately clasped his fists and saluted.
“General Sun, you’re welcome. I’m old now, and you young people will rule the world from now on.” 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 a friend of His Highness is obviously not an ordinary person.
“General Sun!” Wang Xuan also returned the gesture with fists clasped.
“Okay, we all know each other, 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, I must tell you everything I know in my 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

“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 worry 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,
so 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.
As soon as these words came out, Lu Chen felt as if he was struck by lightning, and his face turned
pale.
