Chapter 560

Kuai Yue cupped his hands.

"My lord, Liu Bei's medical skills are superb; I fear he will see through the flaws."

Liu Biao waved his hand.

"No matter, I am already seriously ill, have no appetite for tea or rice recently, and have eaten lotus leaf ash, making my body thin; no matter how you look at it, I am seriously ill."

After speaking, Liu Biao coughed.

Kuai Yue hurriedly helped Liu Biao to rest, feeling emotional in his heart; Liu Biao was determined to get rid of Liu Bei this time, even eating lotus leaf ash to harm himself.

Liu Biao thought more in his heart.

"Kuai Yue, don't think I don't know that you've sought refuge with Cao Cao; after I kill Liu Bei, I will also destroy you!"

Liu Biao had a grand plan in his heart.

Kill Liu Bei, destroy Cai Mao, frame Kuai Yue—that is, Cao Cao—and he could completely control Jingzhou and pass the position down.

Liu Bei had Zhu Rong and the others go to the post house first, while he himself took Hua Tuo and headed to the State Governor's Mansion without stopping.

Liu Biao's bedroom,

The smell of medicine was extremely heavy.

Liu Biao lay on the bed, looking weak like a woman after childbirth—no, looking pale, his whole body having lost a circle of weight.

Liu Bei took a few quick steps, grabbed Liu Biao's hand, and said in a deep voice.

"Brother Jingsheng, how could you be so seriously ill? Your brother has come!"

"Cough, cough."

Liu Biao coughed violently.

"Cough, cough, Xuan, Xuande, I am already sixty-three; it is time."

Liu Biao's wife, Lady Chen, began to cry loudly, and Liu Qi and Liu Cong followed suit.

"Lord Xuande, please save my husband."

Lady Chen was quite convinced of Liu Bei's medical skills.

Liu Bei nodded.

"Sister-in-law, rest assured; since I have come, I will definitely not let Brother Jingsheng remain ill."

The tone was so sincere that Liu Biao was almost moved, but thinking of Liu Bei's threat, he naturally would not give up his plan.

Liu Bei greeted Hua Tuo to diagnose Liu Biao together.

Liu Biao, however, groaned in extreme pain.

Cai Mao, Huang Chengyan, and the others all looked at each other; the State Governor was probably truly finished.

Hua Tuo pressed Liu Biao's abdomen again, his brows furrowed.

Several people left the bedroom.

Lady Chen said in a low voice.

"Lord Xuande, how is it?"

Liu Bei looked at Hua Tuo, signaling him to speak first.

Hua Tuo cupped his hands.

"Lady, the State Governor has a mass in his abdomen, and this trip to Lingnan induced the illness."

Masses and accumulations were an ancient way of referring to internal organ cancer.

Lady Chen and the others' faces changed drastically; it seemed Liu Biao was truly seriously ill.

Hua Tuo frowned again.

"However, I observed that this accumulation has not yet expanded too much, yet the State Governor's body is so poor and so thin."

Liu Bei knew what was going on; he had received the reward of the Daoist nose-sense from the system, and although the smell of medicine in Liu Biao's room was heavy, he still smelled the scent of lotus leaf ash.

He thought to himself.

"Liu Jingsheng is truly desperate, tricking me into coming here and harming himself like this? Can his body take it?"

The body is a whole; Liu Bei had just taken Liu Biao's pulse and found that this weight loss had broken the body's balance, and he was truly on the verge of death!

"Originally Liu Biao could have lived to sixty-six, but now he only has half a year left."

Seeing everyone looking over, Liu Bei sighed.

"Brother Jingsheng is older, and this personal expedition induced the illness, and his body is weak, which is why it is so serious."

"Hua Tuo and I will go back to discuss it and prescribe some tonic medicine for Brother Jingsheng first."

Lady Chen was naturally endlessly grateful.

Liu Bei left the State Governor's Mansion and returned to the post house.

Cai Mao also hurried over quickly.

Lady Cai had already returned to the Cai Mansion to reminisce, so he naturally came to find Liu Bei.

Cai Mao said in a low voice.

"Lord Xuande, Liu Biao has fainted several times; I fear he doesn't have much time left, so please prepare early."

Liu Bei was speechless at this brother-in-law whose IQ was a bit insufficient and said in a deep voice.
