Emperor Ling Hui glanced at Prime Minister Yu and smiled. The officials immediately knelt down and shouted in unison, “We agree!”
Emperor Ling Hui nodded in satisfaction, and his sharp eyes softened. “A country can’t be without a ruler for a day. I’m old, and it’s time to prepare for my funeral. I’ve let the mother and son down, and it’s time to compensate them.”
Prime Minister Yu was smart and immediately guessed that Chu Tianbao’s biological mother was Noble Consort Ling. He hurriedly said, “Noble Consort Ling is virtuous, dignified, and magnanimous. She has a good upbringing and has the demeanor of a mother of the country.”
These words caused the smile on Emperor Ling Hui’s face to widen.
Back then, the Quan family had threatened the lives of the mother and son. He could only beat them at their own game and use the power of the Quan family to occupy the country and surpass everyone, giving the mother and son the best protection.
Although the process was complicated and difficult, he still succeeded in the end.
Whether history scolded him for being heartless or for being ungrateful, as long as no one dared to bully them in the future, all of this was worth it.
Emperor Ling Hui waved his hand and immediately issued an imperial edict.
The imperial edict was issued, but no one was there to receive it.
The courtiers wanted to ask, but they did not want to provoke Emperor Ling Hui when he was happy.
After the banquet ended, Prime Minister Yu quietly went to ask Commander Zhang.
“The Crown Prince’s safety concerns the entire country. Commander Zhang, do you know anything?”
Previously, Commander Zhang had been busy searching for people in the Imperial City and the rumors that the Empress had been kidnapped made Prime Minister Yu feel that he knew a little.
Commander Zhang did know a lot, but it was still unknown if the Crown Prince could return!
He had already married into the Carefree Kingdom!
Even the Empress had run away.
He had even given birth to two children with the Carefree Kingdom’s Great Empress, so the chances of them returning were even lower.
However, it was not necessarily the case. Who could give it up? The entire Ling Kingdom.
Moreover, Chu Tianbao was the only heir.
Commander Zhang had all kinds of thoughts, but he did not give a single useful word to Prime Minister Yu.
They could only secretly pay attention to the movements of the southern frontier.
Gu Chilie was in the southern frontier and was the crown prince’s adoptive father. It was very likely that he was in the southern frontier now!
When Emperor Ling Hui returned to the bedroom, the lively atmosphere was replaced by silence.
Sitting on the dragon bed, he suddenly felt lonely. He had been busy for half his life but had nothing.
He sighed deeply and took out the jade pendant in his arms to look at it. He called out affectionately, “Lanshu, how can you forgive me and return to my side.”
There was no response from the empty palace.
Emperor Ling Hui sighed again and wondered if he should wait for Qu Yuanxian and the others to return before making a trip to the Carefree Kingdom.
With that kid’s temper, if he didn’t go personally, he probably wouldn’t be willing to see him again for the rest of his life.
As Emperor Ling Hui was thinking, he suddenly felt a burning pain all over his body.
Suddenly, he recalled Quan Jiuzhou’s words before he died and immediately summoned Imperial Physician Lin.
He could not die now. Even if he died, he had to see Lanshu one last time before he died and hand this empire to Chu Tianbao so that they would not have anything to worry about.
When Imperial Physician Lin rushed over, Emperor Ling Hui’s entire body was already greenish-purple, and his eyes were gray.
One could tell at a glance that he had been poisoned.
Imperial Physician Lin was shocked and immediately went forward to take Emperor Ling Hui’s pulse.
Emperor Ling Hui asked, “What poison is it? Can it be cured?”
Imperial Physician Lin’s medical skills were very good. Without waiting for a reply, he immediately took out silver needles and sealed all of Emperor Ling Hui’s acupoints before saying, “I’m incompetent and don’t know yet. I can only stop the poison from spreading for the time being..”
