Chapter 562: Chasing Emperor Linghui Away

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The closer they got to the southern frontier, the weaker Emperor Ling Hui’s body became. Zeng Sanshui no longer felt heartache over the chocolate. All of it entered his mouth to reduce the pain when the poison acted up.

After Imperial Physician Lin took Emperor Ling Hui’s pulse again, he revealed a heavy expression.

Emperor Ling Hui asked everyone to leave and asked him, “How long can I last?”

Imperial Physician Lin sighed. “If it’s good, you can live more than half a month.”

If it was not good, Emperor Ling Hui would not be able to survive seven days.

Emperor Ling Hui understood and lifted the curtain with difficulty to take a look.

The snow that filled the sky fluttered as if foreshadowing his bleak end.

When Commander Zhang saw Emperor Ling Hui’s thin face, he was anxious. “Your Majesty, we’ll reach the border of Carefree Kingdom in two days!”

Zeng Sanshui also came over and said, “The border defense base of the Carefree Kingdom should have already connected the phone lines. As long as they make a call and the Great Empress of the Carefree Kingdom receives the news, she can get someone to drive Divine Doctor Gu over.”

Emperor Ling Hui nodded with a pale face, but he thought that even if he could not see the mother and son before he died, it would be good to hear their voices.

The carriage moved quickly and soon arrived at the border of the southern frontier.

Just as Lu Ye was about to rest, he heard someone say, “General Lu, General Zeng from Ling Kingdom requests an audience!”

Lu Ye suddenly frowned. It had only been a few months since he was sent away. Why was he back?

He quickly put on his clothes and rode his horse.

After a while, they saw a huge team under the border lights.

Lu Ye suddenly became vigilant. He picked up the loudspeaker and asked from afar, “What’s the matter, General Zeng?”

Even if he was sent to the country once a year as an envoy, it had not even been a year.

Zeng Sanshui also picked up the loudspeaker and said, “Brother, I have something urgent to discuss with you. Please allow me to come over!”

Zeng Sanshui approached alone so they were not afraid that he would play any tricks.

Lu Ye picked up the loudspeaker and shouted again, “Then come over.”

After a while, Zeng Sanshui came over. When he saw Lu Ye, he immediately pulled him over and whispered, “Our emperor is here.”

Lu Ye’s eyes widened as he asked in disbelief, “What is he doing here?”

The world had only stabilized for a short while. How did Emperor Ling Hui dare to come to the border of their Carefree Kingdom?

Wasn’t he afraid of being chopped up?

Thinking of the rumors that Chu Tianbao’s mother was Noble Consort Ling, Lu Ye was even more shocked. Could Chu Tianbao really be Emperor Ling Hui’s son?

Zeng Sanshui’s words confirmed his guess. “Our emperor came to the Carefree Kingdom to pick up the Empress and the Crown Prince. Secondly, he asked the Great Empress of the Carefree Kingdom to send Divine Doctor Gu to help him treat his poison.”

At this moment, Emperor Ling Hui was about to die. There was no need to hide his motive.

Lu Ye’s eyes widened even more.

For a moment, his brain did not react.

Zeng Sanshui emphasized again, “This matter is urgent. General Lu, please quickly call Divine Doctor Gu over!”

Lu Ye finally came back to his senses. After carefully confirming Emperor Ling Hui’s current situation, he said, “Wait for me first. I’ll make a call now!”

Regardless of whether Emperor Ling Hui was related to Chu Tianbao or not, if the emperor of Ling Kingdom suddenly died, this would be a huge matter.

When Lu Ye returned to the border base, he quickly called the Great Empress’s residence.

There was someone from the Great Empress’s residence who would answer the call. If it was not an important call, they would not let it disturb Bai Wutong’s rest.

The call continued for so long. Bai Wutong was the first to be woken up.

She sat up in Chu Tianbao’s arms, still a little confused. What could happen in the Carefree Kingdom now that she needed to get up in the middle of the night to make a decision?

Bai Wutong came to the study and connected to Lu Ye.

After listening for a while, her expression darkened.

Chu Tianbao pinched her palm. “What’s wrong?”

Bai Wutong hung up and was silent for a moment before saying, “Emperor Ling Hui has arrived at the border. He’s been poisoned and wants Doctor Gu to rush over to treat his poison. Otherwise, he won’t live for more than half a month.”

Chu Tianbao hated Emperor Ling Hui and would never forgive him in this life.

However, Emperor Ling Hui had already announced Chu Tianbao’s identity to the world and even personally conferred the position of Crown Prince.

If something happened to Emperor Ling Hui, with Emperor Ling Hui’s character, he would definitely announce to the world that Chu Tianbao would inherit the throne.

The Ling Kingdom was such a huge mess, but Chu Tianbao had to bear the burden of managing it.

If they did not do anything, it would be easier for other trouble to happen. It was not easy for the commoners to settle down, and it was very likely that they would become a bargaining chip for someone to rule the world again. It might even affect their Carefree Kingdom.

Most importantly, Bai Wutong wanted to know Chu Tianbao’s attitude towards Emperor Ling Hui.

If he didn’t want to save him, she wouldn’t.

If he did not want to be the emperor of Ling Kingdom, no one could force him.

Chu Tianbao’s expression was heavy. After a while, he said, “Let Doctor Gu go, as long as he doesn’t appear in front of Mother.”

It was not easy for You Lanshu to walk out of the past and have her own life.

Bai Wutong did not want her to be disturbed again.

Bai Wutong nodded and immediately called back, telling Lu Ye to send Gu Zhongxun there. At the same time, she sent Qingfeng to monitor Emperor Ling Hui.

After receiving the notice, Lu Ye let Emperor Ling Hui enter the country.

He had originally wanted to bring Emperor Ling Hui to the base. After knowing that Emperor Ling Hui might die at any moment, in order to obtain Gu Zhongxun’s treatment as soon as possible, he could only continue forward.

After three days, when it was difficult for Emperor Ling Hui to even eat, they finally met up at the hotel in the Dark Dragon Mountain Range.

When Imperial Physician Lin saw the legendary Divine Doctor Gu, he was very excited and hurriedly told him about Emperor Ling Hui’s situation.

After Gu Zhongxun examined Emperor Ling Hui, he praised him, “You controlled the poison in time. He can still be saved.”

Imperial Physician Lin was too happy to be acknowledged by the divine doctor.

Realizing that Gu Zhongxun had no intention of chasing him out, he shamelessly watched him treat Emperor Ling Hui.

Gu Zhongxun performed three operations on Emperor Ling Hui in a row. After various infusion tests and treatments, his condition finally improved.

However, he was still very weak and needed to recuperate for a while.

Qingfeng asked every day, “He won’t die, right?”

Gu Zhongxun finally answered, “There’s basically no danger to his life.”

In that case, Qingfeng could be at ease to issue the expulsion order.

Zeng Sanshui was very angry when he received Qingfeng’s message. He had even bought a new hairdryer!

“Your Carefree Kingdom’s hospitality is too poor! How can you chase someone away as soon as they arrive!”

Qingfeng had been guarding here for almost two months.

What did he mean by just arriving?

She raised her eyelids and looked at Zeng Sanshui coldly. “Leave quickly tomorrow. Otherwise, I’ll personally send you off.”

Zeng Sanshui was exasperated. “We still have to bring the Crown Prince and the Empress back!”

These words were like stepping on thunder.

Qingfeng pulled out her sword and pressed it against Zeng Sanshui’s head. “If you want to die, try it.”

Zeng Sanshui’s neck hurt. He must have bled from the cut.

Chu Tianbao was really heartless. It was his biological father but he chased him away just like that. To think that before Emperor Ling Hui died, he even instructed him to help Chu Tianbao ascend the throne.

If he was unwilling to return to the Imperial City, he would let the Carefree Kingdom integrate into the Ling Kingdom and move the Imperial City over..
