The two men were secretly competing with each other. Ling Zizhong was probably anxious and lost control of his hands in his panic.
Until one of the people carrying the body shouted loudly: "Your Highness, hand!"
He suddenly came back to his senses and looked down. Xiao Lingyu's wrist was already blue and purple.
He withdrew his hand, and Xiao Lingyu also withdrew his hand. The purple mark on his white wrist looked extremely terrifying.
Xiao Lingyu touched the scar lightly, his eyes sharp as a knife: "Uncle, your martial arts skills have improved greatly over the years."
Ling Zizhong paused, realizing that the person in front of him was suspicious. He quickly put his hands behind his back and coughed dryly: "It's just that I died once, and I realized the importance of practicing martial arts. I have worked harder in recent years."
He avoided looking.
Xiao Lingyu didn't want to ask too many questions at this time, so he remained silent. While Ling Zizhong was covering up, he waved the hand that was holding his wrist slightly, signaling the two people carrying the corpse to leave as soon as possible.
The two men hurriedly walked past him. Xiao Lingyu's heart was in his throat at the sight of them.
The two men walked in a very crooked manner, swaying as if they were afraid that the corpse above would not fall down.
As soon as this thought came to my mind, I heard a "plop" sound.
Xiao Lingyu's heart finally settled down.
The corpse fell to the ground as expected. Without the white cloth covering it, the queen's face was exposed to the sunlight.
Ling Zizhong opened his eyes wide and half squatted down in disbelief.
The two men carrying the corpse quickly knelt down and said, "Please forgive us, Crown Prince. We did not drop the Queen's body on purpose. We were just in a hurry and lost our minds."
"Is this why you're obstructing me in every way?! My own mother's body is right in front of you, and you just want to get away with it and bury her?!"
Ling Zizhong glared at him.
At this moment, two or three guards rushed in from outside the courtyard and said, "Your Highness, a thief just knocked us unconscious. Is there anything wrong with your Highness?"
As the guard spoke, he secretly glanced at Ling Zizhong, and his eyes followed him to see the corpse at his feet.
"Empress?!"
Xiao Lingyu took a few deep breaths.
There was a rare murderous look in his eyes as he looked at everyone in the yard coldly.
Now that things have come to this, what else is there to not understand?
No matter how dumb his men were, they couldn't be this stupid.
These two people have already been bribed!
Ling Zizhong had known this would happen, so he knocked out the guards he had sent to guard him, and waited outside the yard for the two men to come out.
No matter how hard I try to stop it today, the Queen's body will definitely be exposed.
Once exposed, the spies in the mansion will definitely spread the news.
Step by step, he was being forced to "avenge his mother"!
Ling Zizhong stood up and walked in front of Xiao Lingyu: "Your mother's body is already in front of you, why don't you seek justice for her?"
His voice was like a poisonous snake, sticking to Xiao Lingyu's ears.
"Fair? Uncle, what do you think is fair?"
A hint of coldness flashed across Ling Zizhong's eyes. "Of course, we need to find out the truth behind her death and who stole her body."
"She raised you for many years, and you are her only son!"
…
In the palace, the emperor looked at the letter in his hand, his eyes deep in thought, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a moment, he crumpled the letter into a ball and threw it into the fire.
"The prince is ill today and didn't come. Has the imperial physician gone to see him? What's wrong?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Kang'an stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Imperial Doctor Zhang went to see him and said he had caught a cold. He will be fine after a few days of rest."
The emperor said "Oh", then threw the memorial in his hand on the desk and stood up.
"Let's go and take a look."
A hint of surprise flashed in Jiang Kang'an's eyes, and he followed the emperor obediently.
There was no conversation along the way, and soon they arrived at the East Palace.
The servants in the palace led them all the way into the prince's bedroom.
As soon as I entered the hall, I saw a familiar figure.
It was Jiang Zhiyu.
Jiang Kangan was surprised, and so was the emperor.
The emperor was the first to ask, "Why are you here?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is ill and asked me to come and treat him."
Jiang Zhiyu expressed his incomprehension of their surprise.
"After all, I have the reputation of a miracle doctor. Isn't it only natural that I should be asked to treat illnesses?"
[Besides, this is the good brother who gave me a pot of golden flowers! ]
[As long as you pay, there is no need to reason, whatever you say is right! ]
emperor:"……"
Jiang Kangan: “…”
Xiao Lingyu: "...cough cough."
He really wanted to laugh, but he eventually turned his smile into a light cough. Then he propped himself up and sat up, got off the bed and knelt on the ground: "Your son greets the emperor."
The emperor did not approach, but only gave him a slight push in the air, then sat down on the chair: "Get up, you are ill and cannot be polite."
[We've already gone through the formalities, and you're saying it's inconvenient to be more polite? ]
[It's like jumping high in the toilet—it's over the shit.]
Xiao Lingyu paused in his movement to stand up.
Jiang Kangan: “…”
emperor:"……"
The emperor glanced at Jiang Zhiyu in disapproval, then looked at Xiao Lingyu tenderly: "Why are you sick out of nowhere? Have you been too tired these past few days?"
"With your father here, and this is for Tianqi, how dare I talk about hard work? I guess it's because of the cold wind last night," Xiao Lingyu pursed his lips, "Your Majesty, don't worry. With Divine Doctor Jiang here, he will definitely cure the disease."
The emperor nodded slightly, his tone tinged with reprimand, "How did the people in this mansion serve you? You caught a cold. I know you have a kind heart, but you must not let these cunning servants off easily."
"Otherwise, if they do something else, you will be the only one who gets hurt."
The emperor's words were indeed pointed, and Xiao Lingyu's breathing was slightly stagnant: "Yes, your son will follow your father's teachings."
The emperor's brows softened a lot, and he looked around at Xiao Lingyu's bedroom. The more he looked, the more worried he became.
It's not because it's extravagant, but because it's too simple.
There was not a single decorative object to be found in the entire house.
Not to mention the crown prince, even an ordinary prince would have to have at least three or four of these.
"Look at your palace, it's so plain. Have I treated you unfairly?"
“Things are meant to be looked at.”
He sighed softly and ordered Fu Ping, "Go call a few people and decorate it properly."
Fuping replied yes.
The emperor looked at Xiao Lingyu and said, "You will be the emperor in the future. I don't want to indulge your extravagant and licentious nature, but you can't be so careless about material things. If other countries see you, they will laugh at you."
Xiao Lingyu was shocked, but did not show it on his face: "Yes, what father said is..."
Don't listen to his empty promises.
[Now you're talking about becoming the emperor, but just now I didn't even give you a hand.]
[Now I sit so far away that I dare not even approach.]
Do you know why? Because as the emperor, he can say it now, but he may not know whether it will be you in the future. However, he can really help you now.
