Ever since Ah Mu learned about his brother's serious illness, he had been worried all the way home. Rong Yi thought he was worried about his sister and patted his shoulder, "Don't worry, Linlang is smart and won't be bullied."
Of course, Amu was also worried about Linlang, but with her father-in-law and the emperor protecting her, and she was smart and adaptable, she would definitely come back safely.
Mo'er also ran over to comfort Amu, "Brother-in-law, don't worry, I have someone to protect me, I will be fine."
If the emperor can't protect his sister, then he really should give up his throne. He is so useless.
Mo'er looked towards the direction of the palace. He didn't love her at all. She had been away from home for several months, but he didn't notice and didn't send anyone to look for her.
The emperor already knew that Mo'er was at the Rong family. When the emperor sent a great master to Lu'er Town, he had already discovered him. The emperor really didn't know that his youngest son had run away. Recently, he was busy with state affairs, and coupled with the poisoning, he was mentally exhausted and had no time to pay attention.
He thought the queen took good care of the child, but he didn't expect that the brat would sneak out of the palace, meet Rong Linlang by chance, and be taken back to the Rong family.
Seeing that the little guy has grown strong and is studying and practicing martial arts very hard, the emperor has no plan to take him back. He is comfortable outside, so let him stay for a few more days.
Whenever you want to come back, bring her back to the palace.
However, the Queen and the Crown Prince were really irresponsible. They didn't even notice that Xiao Qi had been away for such a long time, which shows that they didn't care much about him.
I don't know what's wrong with the Queen. She clearly has Xiao Qi as her biological child, but she keeps saying that Xiao Qi was a child he brought back from outside. He rarely leaves the palace, so how could he have the time to race against time to have a child outside? Is he such a careless person?
The more the emperor explained, the more suspicious the queen became, and it felt like the situation was getting worse.
The emperor thought that the queen was confused after giving birth. Now he thought that maybe she was weak after giving birth and someone took advantage of her and poisoned her.
The emperor planned to let Linlang show himself to the queen, but the queen did not trust him, so he had to find a reasonable excuse.
He and the queen fell in love at first sight, and they were a young couple, and they were very affectionate. But he was the king of a country, and he had three concubines and six courtyards. The queen had quarreled with him, but later it calmed down, and their feelings gradually became distant.
In addition, the emperor was somewhat dissatisfied with the crown prince and doted on the fourth prince who favored Concubine Shu, and the relationship between the empress and the emperor became even worse.
Mo'er sighed when she thought of the complicated relationships in the palace, the intrigues and deceptions, and hoped that her sister could leave the palace smoothly.
Ah Mu knew that Mo'er missed home. After all, his family lived there. Without hope, there would be no despair. The little guy was just being stubborn, but in fact he longed for the love and care of his family.
He also knew that the emperor knew Mo'er was on their side, otherwise his father-in-law wouldn't have been so easy to get two masters from the imperial palace. He touched his lightly disguised face, thankful for his foresight.
Amu took Mo'er's hand and said, "Thank you, Mo'er. Let's go in."
It was still early and everyone was busy. Only Mo'er felt that his brother-in-law was a little uneasy. He frowned when he saw him for the first time.
After lunch, Su Jinyao came to find Amu. "I guess you know by now. Duke Dingguo left the capital at full speed and went to Lingshan to pick up your brother and bring him back to the capital. I heard that his condition has worsened, and he sent a pigeon to tell him that he would die in the capital."
Su Jinyao saw that Amu's face was solemn. "It is said that his condition worsened after he learned the unfortunate news about you. He wants to come back to see you."
"Don't be sad. Lingshan uses traditional methods to treat illnesses. Just because they can't cure it doesn't necessarily mean the imperial doctors in the capital can't. Besides, there's Linlang. She's such a skilled doctor, she's sure she can cure the Second Young Master's illness."
Amu calmed down and said, "I think so too. When he comes back, I will find a way to meet him."
"Okay, I'll arrange it for you then."
"Thank you, Fourth Brother."
"Don't be polite." Su Jinyao said, "When the time comes, let the Second Young Master suspect that you are not dead, and then you can show up. Otherwise, if you suddenly appear, the Second Young Master's body may not be able to withstand it."
"Fourth Brother thinks the same as I do. It would be best if he suspected I was still alive on his way back. Once he arrives in the capital, I'll go see him as soon as possible."
Amu remembered that when he went to Northern Qi, his brother's health was getting better and better. Why did his condition suddenly worsen later? Even the imperial physician was helpless and could only send him to Lingshan to take those pills.
There must be something wrong with Duke Dingguo's Mansion, but unfortunately he cannot show up. He can only recognize his brother and see how his condition is. If he gets better, the two brothers will work together to find the truth.
There is no point in being anxious now. We can only wait for Xiao Yujian to return to Beijing to see the situation before taking the next step.
"I've already arranged for someone to follow me to Lingshan. After we return, I'll send a letter by carrier pigeon, instructing them to act in secret."
Su Jinyao continued, "We've found something about the pink gemstone ring that Linlang asked me to look into. It's worn by the wife of Duke Dingguo herself and she didn't give it to anyone else."
Amu frowned slightly. His mother did not like pink gems. People who liked this color were girls like Hu Shan.
It seems that this Lady Dingguo may not be his mother, and it is very likely that she has been replaced by someone else. So where did his mother go? Is she still alive?
"Don't worry, I've sent people to keep an eye on the wife of Duke Dingguo. We'll know immediately if anything happens." Su Jinyao had already guessed what was going on. At this point, he could only hope that the wife of Duke Dingguo was still alive and was being hidden in some secret room by them.
Ah Mu said with a heavy heart, "I fought hard to return to the capital. When she threw me into the river at Duke Dingguo's mansion, I was devastated. I couldn't accept that my beloved mother would take such a cruel action against me."
"Later, I survived. I spent countless nights wondering what was going on, but slowly I figured it out. From that moment on, I already had a conclusion in my mind, and when I really faced it, it wasn't that sad."
"Now, all I can do is find out the truth and take revenge." Amu clenched his fists. The people of Northern Qi not only abused him and killed his two servants, but also mutilated his mother and brother. This hatred is irreconcilable.
The Su family's hatred for the Northern Qi people is deeply rooted, and no one is more eager for revenge than them. The unequal treaty signed by the two countries to stop fighting and the Jing Dynasty was paid for with the blood and bones of the soldiers.
Su Jinyao narrowed his eyes and said, "We will definitely get back double the debt that Northern Qi owes us."
He didn't dare to say it before, but now with the thunder bomb, he can fight to the death with Northern Qi.
He said firmly, "If I don't recapture the lost cities and conquer the capital of Northern Qi, I, Su Jinyao, will not start a family and establish a career."
Amu was infected by Su Jinyao's ambition, but he was a little worried. Was his fourth brother also looking for an excuse not to get married?
