Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1392 - 1366: The Incense Stick’s Time Is Up

Time passed second by second, yet Wei Qing still hadn’t woken up.

"Your Majesty, this Ye Chen is nothing but a fraud. Look, the Grand General has remained unconscious for so long, clearly showing that he knows nothing of medicine." The Imperial Physician spoke.

"Ye Chen, what’s going on? Why is the Grand General still lying motionless on the bed?" Emperor Wu of Han asked, looking at Ye Chen.

"Your Majesty, it hasn’t been a full incense stick of time yet. Please wait a little longer. I promise that when the Grand General wakes up, it’ll be as if he wasn’t injured at all." Ye Chen confidently assured.

Upon hearing Ye Chen’s words, the Imperial Physician snorted coldly: "Stop misleading the Emperor here. The Grand General simply won’t wake up, let alone be uninjured. That is impossible!"

"Imperial Physician, what grudge do you have against the Grand General that always keeps you from wanting him to wake up?" Ye Chen suddenly asked.

Then he turned to Emperor Wu of Han and said: "Your Majesty, we are all praying for the Grand General to wake up quickly, yet this physician keeps speaking discouraging words beside us. What could be his intent?"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Wu of Han glared at the Imperial Physician, showing displeasure on his face.

The Imperial Physician hadn’t expected Ye Chen to say such things, and quickly explained: "Your Majesty, that wasn’t my intention. Merely, the Grand General’s injuries are too severe, making it difficult for him to wake up, not to mention recovering to being completely unblemished."

He looked at Ye Chen again and said: "Stop framing me here, Your Majesty knows very well that’s not what I meant."

Now, the Imperial Physician was so scared his spine was chilled, and cold sweat was pouring.

Seeing the physician’s current state, Ye Chen felt a sense of satisfaction. He thought to himself that despite the physician’s age, he was still too naïve in front of him.

Ye Chen only said a few words, and he jumped right into the trap—it was truly laughable.

"System, didn’t you say the Grand General would wake up within an incense stick of time; why hasn’t he woken up yet?" Ye Chen asked the system.

He eyed the burning incense, feeling a bit anxious as it was now just a tiny piece, nearly burned out.

Ye Chen knew if it completely burned out and Wei Qing hadn’t woken, even without the physician’s encouragement, Emperor Wu of Han would definitely punish him.

The Imperial Physician knew Ye Chen was sharp-tongued, and not his match, thus he said nothing further.

He feared if he slipped up, Ye Chen would seize an opportunity to bring trouble upon him.

"The incense is about to be fully burned, let’s see what you have to say, surely you’ll be beheaded today." The Imperial Physician glared fiercely at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen naturally knew the physician wished him dead, but how could Ye Chen fulfill his wishes?

The system had remained silent, leaving Ye Chen with no choice but to wait patiently.

Suddenly, a voice echoed in his mind: "Host, the General’s injuries are too severe, so the Light of Life needs to repair all his internal organs, hence it’ll take more time."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen’s heart skipped a beat. He hastily asked: "How much time is needed?"

"Not exceeding half an hour." The system replied.

Ye Chen looked at the nearly burned-out incense, helplessly stating: "The incense is almost burnt out, yet the General hasn’t woken up."

"Please wait patiently, host." After saying this, the system fell silent again.

Ye Chen knew what he could do was patiently wait, hoping the system wasn’t deceiving him.

The Imperial Physician watched the dwindling incense with a smug expression.

"Your Majesty, the incense stick time has elapsed, yet the General hasn’t awakened. This Ye Chen is undoubtedly a fraud; daring to deceive the Emperor, punishable by law." The Imperial Physician said.

Emperor Wu of Han, seeing Wei Qing still unresponsive and recalling the physician’s words, showed displeasure on his face.

He even felt a sense of being toyed with; no one in this world dared treat him this way.

"Men, seize Ye Chen at once and execute him." Emperor Wu of Han shouted angrily.

Quickly, two guards stepped forward to arrest Ye Chen.

Seeing this, everyone couldn’t help shaking their heads, thinking Ye Chen was simply too young, hence committing such reckless acts.

Misleading the Emperor was a capital offense; such a young life was about to vanish.

The Imperial Physician, watching Ye Chen being led away, was overjoyed, thinking: "No one can threaten my position. If someone tries, they must die."

At this moment, an astonishing scene unfolded—Wei Qing, who was lying motionless on the bed, suddenly coughed violently, his face showing an expression of pain.

Wei Qing’s wife hastily approached, and Wei Qing suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood, frightening his wife who rushed to the bedside, crying as she called: "General, General, please wake up!"

Emperor Wu of Han, witnessing the scene, was momentarily stunned, his heart pounding in his throat.

"Wei Qing, Wei Qing, how are you?" Emperor Wu of Han called out in a trembling voice.

But the other party did not answer, instead continued to cough violently.
