Chapter 429
What exactly happened?”
Sun was shocked in her heart and asked after her without thinking
Ling Jingshu frowned and responded, “Someone suddenly came from the palace and ordered Wei Yan to enter the palace immediately”
Everyone was shocked
Today was the day Wei Yan accompanied Ling Jingshu back to the door
If it wasn’t something extraordinarily urgent, the palace would definitely not have summoned Wei Yan to the palace in a hurry
Could it be that His Majesty’s condition had relapsed again?
This thought flashed through Ling Jingshu’s mind and she quickly stood up, “I’ll go to the main hall to take a look”
The palace was urgently summoned, so Wei Yan had to put aside even if he had heavenly matters, and had to return to the palace immediately
The fifth master Ling could not stop him, and when he saw Ling Jingshu’s hasty and hurried arrival, he thought that she was unhappy in her heart
Fifth Master Ling coughed and said, “A Shu, the Empress Dowager personally ordered someone to pick up Wei Yan into the palace, there must be something important
You must not be disruptive”
Ling Jingshu did not have the leisure to explain to Master Ling Fifth, and said bluntly to Wei Yan, “Something big must have happened in the palace
You should go back quickly!
There’s no need to care about me”
Wei Yan was filled with guilt, “I’m sorry
I should have stayed with you in the Ling Mansion all day today”
Once he left, he would have to leave Ling Jingshu alone in the Ling Mansion
A newly married girl staying alone in her mother’s house and having to go back to the house alone at night, it was not a good feeling to think about it
Ling Jingshu didn’t think it was a bad idea, and urged, “I’m not afraid of being alone, I have my family to keep me company!
It’s important for you to return to the palace, don’t delay”
Ling Xiao interjects at the right time, “I’ll have someone pack up my luggage later, and in the afternoon, I’ll send A Shu back to the Wei Mansion, and settle down in the Wei Mansion by the way
Brother-in-law won’t see any offense!”
Why would he be offended?
I’m grateful!
Once he goes to the palace, he doesn’t know how many days it will take for him to come back
With Ling Xiao accompanying Ling Jingshu, he could also feel more at ease
Wei Yan glanced at Ling Xiao gratefully, and had no time to say more for a moment, “Then it’s settled
I’ll take a step ahead”
The chamberlain waiting at the side had an anxious look on his face, but didn’t dare to urge him too much
Seeing that Wei Yan was finally willing to go, he was relieved
This sudden outburst had cast a shadow over the hearts of the entire Ling family
Ling Jingshu was familiar with the situation in the palace, and was even more apprehensive
Nine times out of ten, something had happened to the Emperor!
That was why Wei Yan had been called back to the palace in a hurry
She really didn’t have a good feeling about the dim and lustful Emperor
However, Empress Wei had just been installed as the new Empress this year, and her foundation in the palace was still unstable
If the Emperor were to die of an acute illness, Empress Wei would immediately become Empress Wei
If the Crown Prince ascended the throne, the Crown Princess would logically enter the palace and become the Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty
Empress Wei’s position in the palace would be awkward
Just because of Empress Wei, she also looked forward to the Emperor living for a few more years
At least until Princess Anya recruited a horse harnessed by the side of a team, Empress Wei also stood firm in the palace before she sailed away
Ling family members are also sitting still, each speculating on the reasons
For a while, they were not in the mood to talk
After eating a tasteless lunch, Ling Xiao immediately ordered the scribe to pack his luggage
Two hours later, when it was getting late, Ling Xiao accompanied Ling Jingshu back to Wei Mansion
Ling Jingshu had a heavy heart and did not say much on the way
After arriving at the Wei Mansion, she immediately instructs the Senior Steward to settle Ling Xiao’s residence
The Wei Mansion was very large, and there were seven or eight courtyards where one could live
Ling Jingshu purposely picked the one closest to her main courtyard
The Grand Steward was surprised to see that Wei Yan was nowhere to be seen and there was more uncle
However, those who could make it to the position of Grand Steward were quite a bit more sophisticated and did not ask many questions, receiving their orders and retreatingAh Shu, you should stop worrying”
Ling Xiao opens his mouth to break the silence, “It’s still unclear what exactly happened in the palace
Thinking about it too much won’t do any good
You should just relax and wait, perhaps brother-in-law will soon send someone back to deliver a letter”
I hope so
Ling Jingshu let out a deep breath and said, “You’re right
We don’t know how things are going to be yet, so there’s no need to scare yourself
It’s getting late, I’ll have the kitchen prepare dinner”By the way, you’ve been on leave for so long, it’s about time for you to return to the State Elementary School!
Lest you delay your studies
This place is very close to the Imperial College, and it’s only an incense burner’s effort on foot
From now on, you can stay here without worry and go out early and return late every day”
Ling Xiao smiled and agreed
When the two siblings sat down to eat dinner together, Ling Xiao suddenly had a feeling, “People’s fate is really unpredictable
A few years ago, we two siblings were still in Dingzhou, and we went to great lengths every day to please our grandmother
I thought it would be hard to see the light of day again in this life, destined to spend the rest of my life blind”
Who would have thought that in just a few short years, their lives would have changed drastically?
Ling Jingshu smiled faintly
To Ling Xiao, it was just a few short years
To her, it was two lifetimes
Those dark and painful pasts were completely far away with Lu An’s death and Ling’s exile
Nowadays, she has a beloved husband and a full brother by her side
Such happiness, to her, is a beautiful dream that she never wants to wake up
That night, Wei Yan did not return for the night, and had no time to have someone come back to deliver the letter
Ling Jingshu was prepared for this and waited quietly
It wasn’t until the third day that there was finally news from the palace
Wei Yan was still left in the palace, and it was Tian Dong who came back to deliver the letterTian Dong, what’s going on in the palace?”
Ling Jingshu asked anxiously, “Is the Emperor’s condition getting worse again?”
Tian Dong wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve and said in a low voice, “Yes
His Majesty’s condition has stabilized before, as long as he doesn’t get angry or agitated and quietly recuperates, there will be no major problems
On the contrary, King An fell ill in the Zongren Palace, the Emperor sent Doctor Zhang and Imperial Doctor Zhou to the Zongren Palace’s prison to give King An a consultation”I didn’t expect, this diagnosis, made a storm to ” An Wang could not eat for two whole days, and looked weak and thin out of shape
Doctor Zhang and Imperial Doctor Zhou went to the Zongrenfu by imperial decree, carefully diagnosed for King An, and after diagnosis, came up with a heart-stopping result
King An was hit by a rare chronic poison
This chronic poison has a very slow toxicity, and there are no symptoms in the short term
Only after taking it for three months would it slowly take effect, with the toxicity first spreading from the stomach, making people unable to eat
If one barely eats it, one will spit it out in its entirety
This is what makes this chronic poison so rare and powerful
Those who were poisoned could only starve to death in the end
Hearing this, Ling Jingshu also felt creeped out and asked offhandedly, ”Killing is nothing but a headache
This poisoner, since he had the opportunity to poison, why didn’t he simply put down some fierce poison and directly take King An’s life?”
In this way, it was clear that he wanted to toss King An alive!
Who in the world, and King An have such a deep hatred?
