Emperor Jing had a rare look of grief on his face. "My dear ministers, I am very surprised and shocked by the accident of Ling Jing and Mu Qing. But you don't have to worry too much. I have already sent most of the imperial guards to look for them, and I have also sent urgent orders to all the surrounding government offices to search within their jurisdiction."
He sighed again and looked at Ling Sheng, "Lord Ling, when I received your letter asking for leave, I thought it was just a minor illness." He then said to the eunuch next to him, "Go and call the head of the Imperial Hospital!"
"Yes." After the eunuch left, Emperor Jing still looked at Ling Sheng with a worried look.
In just two or three days, Ling Sheng quickly became thin and haggard, and now he is barely holding on.
Emperor Jing said, "This is all my fault. Ling Jing said that something happened in the capital and she had to return early. She refused my request to arrange for someone to escort her, but I was so foolish that I agreed. I have always felt that although she is a woman, she has extraordinary abilities. Considering that it is only a day's journey and it is a place like the outskirts of Kyoto, I think nothing will happen..."
Ling Sheng looked much weaker, but his dark eyes were deep and solemn. "Even if someone escorts you, you can't avoid it if something goes wrong."
He looked at Emperor Jing and said, "Since Your Majesty has sent someone to look for him, I will take my leave."
"Lord Ling, Lord Zhang from the Imperial Hospital hasn't arrived yet. You..."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I know my own body well. I will wait until I find Jing'er and have her show it to me."
Emperor Jing's eyes flickered slightly, and he sighed again.
When Ling Sheng stood up, Minister Mu, who had been silent, also stood up. "Your Majesty has arranged for someone to look for you. I will take my leave now."
"Lord Mu, although it is not the right time for me to ask this question now, what disease has suddenly struck the people in the Ministry of Justice?"
"Your Majesty, I am not good at this. The symptoms came on quickly, urgently and strangely. The imperial physician examined it, and doctors from outside were also invited to take a look. No one could tell the cause. I think that only Miss Ling San can diagnose this disease..."
Emperor Jing was silent, and Minister Mu said again, "I will take my leave."
After Minister Mu went out, he saw Ling Sheng in front of him and asked, "General, is it convenient for me to take a ride?"
Ling Sheng looked at him, "Master Mu, please."
"Thank you, General."
Here, Minister Mu got on Ling Sheng's carriage in the imperial palace, in the imperial study.
The silence was suffocating.
Wait for Jing'er to see.
Only Miss Ling San can see it.
They were telling him how important Ling Jing was. Otherwise, he would lose the National Defense Army and almost the entire Ministry of Justice!
What a bastard!
Are they definitely thinking that he was the one who caused Ling Jing's accident?
Even if I don't think so, I still have to give him a warning. Warn him that Ling Jing must be alive!
They came to the palace just to demonstrate against him!
He is the emperor! The Son of Heaven!
With a loud bang, the memorials on the dragon table were blown all over the floor.
At this time, another eunuch came in. Seeing the situation on the ground, he didn't know whether to say it or not. Emperor Jing said coldly, "What's the matter? Tell me!"
"Your Majesty, Princess Mo Li's personal maids are outside asking to see you, saying that Princess Mo Li disappeared right after arriving at Mount Jiuyi. They thought their mistress was like usual, not liking crowds, and went hunting far away alone. But something happened at Mount Jiuyi, and Princess Mo Li hasn't returned to her princess residence since she returned to the capital. They felt something was wrong, so they hurried over..."
"That's enough!" Emperor Jing impatiently thought about his words, "How often does Mo Li stay in her princess's mansion? Even I, the emperor's uncle, can't summon her, and I often can't find her. Isn't it normal for her to be away from the mansion for a day or two?"
Since the emperor said so, what else can the eunuch dare to say?
Ziran lowered his head and said immediately, "I understand. I will ask the maid to leave right away."
Emperor Jing frowned slightly. "You don't need to go out of your way to inform a palace maid. Let her wait. When she gets tired of waiting, she will leave naturally."
A haze flashed across his eyes, and he changed the subject, "Now arrange some unfamiliar people to secretly watch the General's Mansion and Minister Mu's Mansion for me! If there is anything unusual, report to me immediately!"
This means...
The eunuch's heart trembled, and he immediately wisely didn't think about it or ask any more questions, "Yes, I understand."
When the eunuch was about to leave, Emperor Jing spoke in a neither light nor heavy tone, "What was the reaction from the Regent Palace when Ling Jing got into trouble?"
“No…no reaction.”
Even if there was any reaction inside, they couldn't get in and wouldn't know!
What kind of place is the Regent's Palace?
Just when the eunuch was feeling anxious, Emperor Jing waved his hand and said, "You go down and do your work first."
this……
The eunuch was confused, but he immediately retreated respectfully.
Emperor Jing narrowed his eyes.
No response.
Then think about the intimate behavior between Baili Feiyue, the third Miss Ling, and the purple-clothed man who was rumored to have stunned everyone, young and old, men and women.
There is probably only one man in this world who can stun everyone, young or old, male or female.
That’s his ninth younger brother!
That is the regent of Dajing - Changsun Wuji!
Emperor Jing was silent, his eyes were deep, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Outside the palace, a carriage slowly left the palace.
Minister Mu looked at Ling Sheng, who looked very unwell, and said, "General, please take care of yourself."
Although Ling Sheng looked haggard and spoke in a weak voice, his gaze towards Minister Mu was still slightly sharp, "Master Mu, if you have anything to say, just speak up."
"General, you misunderstood. I just wanted to take a ride." He smiled again, "But I feel the same pain as you now. Of course, maybe I am overconfident. After all, I only have one daughter, Mu Qing, while the general has both sons and daughters. His daughter doesn't need Miss Ling San, so she may not feel the same pain as me."
Ling Sheng looked at Minister Mu with an even colder look in his eyes. "Master Mu has always been a modest gentleman. He never talks about other people's right and wrong. He never says inappropriate words, and he never interferes in other people's affairs unnecessarily. He also never speculates about others with malice."
Minister Mu smiled helplessly, "General, please take pity on the parents in the world. Mu Qing only likes Miss Ling San. From now on, whenever Miss Ling San has a headache or a fever, she will probably jump up and down in anxiety. This humble official is not as gentleman as the general described. This humble official also has a very selfish side."
"I hope my only daughter can live a peaceful life."
"Heh," Ling Sheng narrowed his eyes sharply, "Lord Mu should save these words for your daughter, so that she can stop being friends with Jing'er!"
"General Ling, you misunderstood again. If Mu Qing really died for her friend, as a father, I will be sad because of losing my daughter. But I will never blame her friend. I am sad but also happy for her. Life is long or short, and not everyone is lucky enough to meet a close friend who is willing to share life and death with them. Mu Qing met one, which is undoubtedly a blessing for her. As her father, I will respect any choice she makes."
“So, what does Master Mu want to say?
