Nanny Qin's words woke the queen up. She looked at Nanny Qin, who nodded vigorously. The queen pursed her lips and said reluctantly, "Then let him in."
"Hey, I'll go right away!" Nanny Qin walked happily towards the door.
But she didn't expect that when she reached the door, she didn't see anyone. She panicked and immediately called the eunuch to ask, "Where is King Jing?!"
The young eunuch slumped to his knees and said, "In reply to Nanny Qin, just now, His Majesty sent someone to summon Prince Jing! We servants didn't dare to stop him."
It’s over, it’s over, this was Qin Ma’s first thought.
Meanwhile, Lu Zhixing had already arrived at the imperial study. The emperor put down the documents in his hand and kindly asked Eunuch Li to bring him a chair.
"I heard that you are not in good health, and so is your mother. Why are they bothering you like this?" The emperor was like a kind father at this moment, looking at Lu Zhixing with a loving face.
People say that the royal family is heartless. Lu Zhixing didn't believe it before, but after he went blind and regained his sight, he did see many different things.
"Your son comes to see the emperor. I wonder what you want to talk to me about?" Lu Zhixing was very respectful, without any dissatisfaction, and looked like he was doing his job impartially.
The emperor had disliked the son raised by Old Master Lin since he was a child, and he had always been distant towards him. The kindness on his face immediately dissipated, replaced by disgust. "Then I won't beat around the bush. The Censorate has sent a group of assassins and the son of Marquis Wenchang. Are you aware of this?"
"In reply to your Majesty, I don't know." Lu Zhixing answered with confidence.
The emperor gritted his teeth and wanted to curse, but he held back. This matter was of great importance. If it succeeded, the Lin family would never be able to sleep soundly beside him again! "After investigation, these assassins have a close relationship with the Lin family. Do you understand what I mean?"
Lu Zhixing sat upright in his chair and shook his head, "I don't know, please tell me clearly, Father."
Hey! The emperor stood up and wanted to scold Lu Zhixing, but was stopped by Eunuch Li. Eunuch Li kept shaking his head, signaling the emperor to be patient.
"You grew up in the Lin Mansion, so you naturally know some details. It is most appropriate for you to handle this matter! Don't pretend that you don't understand what I mean!" The emperor ordered with gritted teeth.
Lu Zhixing sneered in his heart. The emperor never thought about what kind of infamy he would endure if Lu Zhixing did this.
"Your Majesty, are you asking me to disregard the kindness of my grandfather and his teachings and interrogate those assassins?" Lu Zhixing stood up, covering his chest, his face pale.
"Law is above all else, what are you talking about gratitude or not? You——" The emperor was about to curse again, but Lu Zhixing spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.
Before anyone in the hall could react, the Queen Mother rushed in with her men, and the maid beside her shouted, "Someone! Call the imperial physician!"
The Queen Mother glanced at Lu Zhixing lying on the ground and angrily scolded the Emperor, "What are you doing? Are you forcing your own son to die?!"
I didn't expect Lu Zhixing's body to be in such a state. He looked rosy when he just came in! The emperor was speechless and let the empress dowager scold him.
"If I hadn't come today, would you have planned to force this already disabled son to die?" The Queen Mother grew increasingly angry. "He has Lin's blood flowing in his veins, but he also has half your blood!"
Finally, after the empress dowager carried the person away, the emperor had not yet come to his senses.
Eunuch Li took a peek at his expression and whispered, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this won't work."
What he said was that he wanted to use Lu Zhixing to interrogate the assassins.
This was the first time in all the years the Emperor and Empress had been married that they were of one mind and wondered why their son was so difficult to deal with.
"Forget it, call the prince here."
Lu Zhixing was carried to the Empress Dowager's palace. The imperial physician came to take his pulse and prescribed a prescription. Only then did the Empress Dowager breathe a sigh of relief.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Jing will be fine, you don't have to worry." Aunt Su Jin beside the Queen Mother rubbed her shoulders.
The Queen Mother glanced at Lu Zhixing lying on the bed and said nothing. Instead, she raised her head slightly towards Su Jin. Su Jin first came to Lu Zhixing, took his pulse, and after confirming his pulse, she went to pay her respects to the Queen Mother.
Then the master and servant left the side hall and came outside the main hall.
As soon as everyone left, Lu Zhixing opened his eyes and pulled out the moxibustion needles that Song Yushu had hidden in his hair before he left.
It was precisely because of these two moxibustion needles that the imperial physician and Su Jin were deceived. Although the Imperial Hospital was already their own people, it was still better to be cautious.
Just as Lu Zhixing was about to take a breath, the sound of talking in the hall came in. It was not that the Queen Mother and Su Jin were talking loudly, but Lu Zhixing had trained his hearing to be extraordinary since he became blind.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Yu has indeed gone too far this time." Su Jin is the Queen Mother's confidant, and they grew up together. She holds considerable weight, so she dares to comment on a prince in this way.
The Queen Mother sighed softly, "So what if it happened? Who made the Queen, that unworthy one, give birth to two children? Prince Yu was raised by her since he was a child. He is truly not up to the standard."
"If he doesn't show up, we still have to protect him." Su Jin consoled the Queen Mother, "It's a blessing that the Lin Mansion still has a useful prince."
"If Pu'er wasn't blind, when would that idiot have gotten his turn? I'd have to go to great lengths to protect him! And because of him, the Lin family has been implicated!"
"The most important thing now is to make sure that King Jing doesn't go to the Heavenly Prison. Your Majesty, things have come to this point, and we can only remedy the situation."
"Evil creatures! A bunch of evil creatures! Go and ask the imperial physician to prescribe some tranquilizers, and then ask all the doctors in the Imperial Hospital to wait outside the palace. Pu'er won't wake up for a while, so they'll have to wait for her anytime!"
"Yes, my lady!"
Hearing this made Lu Zhixing's face turn pale. He couldn't believe that his most respected and beloved grandmother could treat him like this.
When he spoke, he seemed like an object, without any emotion!
Lu Zhixing felt extremely desolate. He never thought that he had been living a lie since he was a child, and none of his closest relatives cared about him.
When I disappeared on the battlefield, did they all feel relieved?
Wouldn't it be the best outcome for him to die on the battlefield at that time?
Just when Lu Zhixing was immersed in endless darkness, the acupuncture needle in his hand pricked him, making him wake up instantly.
The warmth followed the place where the moxibustion needle was inserted to his heart, making him breathe suddenly. His life was saved by Song Yushu at the risk of his life, and this life no longer belonged to him.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the hall. It was the Queen Mother who was worried and wanted to see if Lu Zhixing was awake.
"Pu'er, are you awake?"
