Ji Yunping was frightened by the emperor. He stood up and was about to answer, but was glared at by Prime Minister Ji and he dared not speak.
Long Lin's heart sank. With his emotions swirling, he actually spat out a mouthful of blood. "You're lying to me, aren't you? The Loyal and Brave Marquis also used the Hundred Poison Elixir, and he's still lying in bed. Even the Hundred Poison Elixir can't cure a whole cup of poisoned wine!"
"Huan'er...Huan'er doesn't know any martial arts, and she doesn't have any internal energy to protect her. How could she possibly survive? Is this white banner hung for her? Where is she? Why won't you let me see her?"
Prime Minister Ji did not expect the emperor to have such a big reaction, and immediately sent someone to call the imperial physician.
Everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion is either injured or sick, so Imperial Physician Qin has been living in the Mansion these days. This is also the Emperor's extra care for the Mansion.
After taking the emperor's pulse, Imperial Physician Qin looked troubled. "Your Majesty was injured the day before returning to the palace. Not only did you not rest properly, but you also worked yourself to death and worried too much. Your Majesty didn't take any of the prescriptions I prescribed."
"Your Majesty is a martial artist himself, so you should understand the situation in your body. I dare not use strong medicine, so I can only slowly adjust the condition."
Long Lin's face was pale, and the energy in his body was running around, disturbing his internal organs. The voices in his ears gradually faded away, and his mind was like a pot of paste, unable to make any sense.
He seemed to be still that little kitten, and he could see Ji Yunhuan's smiling face as soon as he opened his eyes.
The scene changed, and he saw Ji Yunhuan lying in a pool of blood, breathless. He had a sword in his hand. He wanted to kill all those people! Kill them, and Ji Yunhuan would be able to live!
He saw white banners hanging in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Ji Yunhuan lying in a coffin, and everyone was crying...
The voices of Prime Minister Ji, Ji Yunping, and Ji Yunan...
"Your Majesty, are you alright? Keep your mind steady. Martial artists should avoid letting their minds wander. If you've truly gone insane, I can't save you!"
Ji Yun'an pressed his palm on the acupuncture point on Long Lin's back, and a layer of cold sweat seeped out of his forehead.
Did he owe Long Lin in his previous life?
He risked his life to help Long Lin regain the throne, but Long Lin repaid his kindness with hatred and appointed him as the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard.
He only suffered external injuries, but was forced to "recuperate" at home and could not even go to Yuelaiju.
If he was seen alive and kicking, he would have no choice but to go to the palace to take up his post.
Now they have to use their internal energy to regulate Long Lin's tendons and meridians. If something happens to the emperor in the Prime Minister's Mansion, they will just have to wash their necks and wait for death!
"Cough cough!" Long Lin coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his eyes gradually regained clarity. He grabbed Ji Yun'an's arm with such strength that even Ji Yun'an couldn't break free.
"Tell me! Where is Ji Yunhuan?"
Ji Yun'an had been wandering around the world for years and did not have much awe for the emperor. Moreover, he was the emperor's savior, so he did not believe that the emperor could do anything to him.
"My younger sister is still alive, so there's no need for your Majesty to worry about her. Your Majesty and I are strangers, and we've never met before. What on earth did you intend to do by barging into my boudoir today?"
He saw it all. As soon as the emperor entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, he went straight to Linlang Garden. Who knows what dirty thoughts he had!
With the precedent of Long Haochang, Ji Yun'an felt that no man in the royal family was a good match!
He is not satisfied with so many women in the harem and even wants to target his sister. It's really hateful!
Long Lin couldn't answer.
He even suspected that this month was just a dream. Who could believe that the emperor of a country would turn into a cat?
He claimed to the public that he was saved by a hermit, but he refused to reveal who his benefactor was, so the court officials naturally did not dare to ask.
"I...I didn't want to do anything, I just wanted to see her."
Ji Yunping figured out that something was wrong.
The emperor generously rewarded the Ji family. Could he be trying to take Huan'er into the palace? With Huan'er's personality, how could she possibly stand up to the people in the harem? She might even lose her life.
Ji Yunping's mind worked quickly and he came up with an excuse in an instant. He pulled his second brother and signaled him not to talk too much. It would not benefit the Ji family if he angered the emperor.
"I am grateful for your kindness, Your Majesty, but I am not at home. I am afraid I will not have the opportunity to meet you, Your Majesty."
"My younger sister was frightened and not feeling well after the great disaster at the Prime Minister's Mansion. She has been sent to Suzhou to recuperate. Grandmother loves her dearly and cannot bear to be separated from her. She is currently arranging a marriage for her in Suzhou. Perhaps there will be good news next year."
Long Lin became anxious when he heard this. "What good family can there be in Suzhou? She grew up in the capital, so she should find a family there! Tell her to come back quickly, and I will arrange something for her."
Prime Minister Ji finally understood the emperor's wishful thinking.
It's not enough that he and his two sons are working for the emperor, but he also wants to bring his daughter into the palace. Could it be that the emperor wants to make things a fait accompli by breaking into the backyard?
He admitted that the emperor was a wise ruler, but he did not want his daughter to marry him.
Prime Minister Ji knelt down with a thud and bluntly stated, "My daughter is naughty and has a bad reputation. Who in the capital would dare to marry her? Not to mention entering the palace to serve His Majesty. His Majesty favors her, but she doesn't have that blessing."
"Your Majesty, please don't even think about seeing my daughter. If my daughter offends Your Majesty, it will be my fault for not disciplining her properly. I will have no choice but to resign and return home with my family. I simply cannot bear to stay in the capital."
Long Lin had no way to deal with the father and son of the Ji family. These three people protected Ji Yunhuan too well. If he pressed them further, it would only make him look like he had ulterior motives.
He could only help Prime Minister Ji up and sighed, "The Prime Minister has a kind fatherly heart. No matter what he does, it's always for Miss Ji's own good. The court cannot do without the Prime Minister. Prime Minister, please don't mention resigning again."
