Chapter 1585: Rowan Noticed SomethingUnusual

"My child..." The king suddenly felt very sad. He bent his frail body andgrasped Rowan's shoulder, sadly asking, "Have you been well theseyears? Stand up!"

Rowan's brows knotted, feeling a stabbing pain in his heart. "Father, I'msorry.” Other than those three words, he didn't know what else to say.A kind of pain permeated his heart.

Rowan looked up, “Father, can you promise me one thing?"

“You must inherit the throne." Bertie shook his head, thinking he hadguessed what was on his mind. “Taylor is not capable, his mother is tooambitious, she's had her eye on the throne long ago. Our Lu Layuokacannot be destroyed by them."

“That's not it." Rowan told him, "Let's put aside the matter ofsucceeding the throne for now and discuss it later. There's somethingmore important I need to tell you."

Outside, Eden and Arthur stood guard, unable to hear what was saidinside. They just protected there, not allowing anyone to approach."What is it?" Inside the palace, the king firmly grasped his shoulder,unable to think of anything more important than this. “Tell me after youstand up."

Rowan didn't want his father to tire himself by bending down, so hestood up and said, "Go lie down and rest first, Father. I'll accompanyyou." Then he supported the king back to his room.

"Speak," said the king as he took off his shoes and lay down in bed.Rowan sat at the edge of his bed. “Let me take your pulse." Thesedays he had noticed something unusual but hadn't had a chance tobring it up.

"..." The king was startled at first. He knows how to take pulses?Then he sighed lightly again. “No use, my body has collapsed already,my time is up, I can't hold on much longer. I can feel it."

As a genius doctor, Rowan did not immediately draw conclusions. Hecarefully took his pulse.

Because the king's condition... was a bit complicated. He had alreadysensed something wrong and his mood was heavy, regretting verymuch that he hadn't been by his father's side these years to discoverearlier that he had been poisoned with chronic toxins. Rowan reallyblamed himself.

A minute later, Rowan looked up. "Father," he said truthfully, “You'vebeen poisoned with chronic toxins for at least five years.”

The king looked back at his son in shock. "How do you know?" Hedidn't believe it, and a sense of horror arose.

"Because I'm a doctor now."

Father and son looked at each other, and silence filled the bedroom...Rowan held his hand and told him, "Have you heard of the medicinemaster Rowan? Genius doctor, developed a vaccine to preventcancer.”

“I've heard of it, heard of it..." The king didn't understand what this hadto do with anything.

"That's me." He looked steadily at his father, encouraging him. "Yourcondition is bad now, but I think... I can try, as long as you believe inme."

His voice was not loud, wary of eavesdroppers. These past few dayshe had observed the food he ate, the main dishes, desserts, tea,medicine...

Among them one thing was problematic.

Rowan was still thinking when the king let out a heavy sigh.

"The imperial physician said my organs have started failingirreversibly.” The king had lost faith in recovering his health, but he wasunwilling to just die like this. “Louis, can you replace the murderer?”Rowan was silent for a while. "Can't alert the enemy, have toinvestigate slowly. We're in the light, the murderer is in the dark.”

The king frowned. “I should be more certain.” He suddenly felt verydisappointed.

But Rowan shook his head. “This can't rely on guessing. Everyonearound you is a potential suspect. Settling on a conclusion prematurelywithout evidence is unwise.”

"So..." The king placed his hopes on him. "Do you have any goodsuggestions now? I want to replace the murderer as soon as possible,while I'm still alive.”

Obviously the other side was after the throne. He didn't want his son tostruggle in this murky palace and eventually suffer the same fate ashimself.
