He had no intention of leaving his bloodline in the mission world because it would be a bond, and he didn't like others fighting over his things, even if it was his offspring who were connected to him by blood and soul. Having a child around would inevitably distract him, and if he brought the child to the origin world, it would always be distracting... quite troublesome.
"So do you really want it or not?" Xiao Tang asked.
"No," Lin Su replied, "You are enough for me, why would I need a child?"
Xiao Tang was stunned for a moment. He was resisting having a child in his heart, but in a secret corner he also thought that if this man really wanted it, it would be okay to compromise a little. This thought kept surging in his mind, but he never thought that he would answer him like this.
If I really have children, this man's attention will inevitably be diverted, so it's better not to have them.
Xiao Tang finally felt at ease about this matter.
When the Queen learned of Xiao Tang's condition, she finally put her mind at ease: "It's good that he's really ill. The doctor has examined him. How long can he last in his current condition?"
"The doctor only said it was not good, but he did not dare to make a final conclusion." said the eunuch.
"That's all right, it's good that he's not well," the Queen said. "The Crown Prince fell ill on the second day after his wedding. It was the Crown Princess's fault for not taking good care of him. I've sent someone to give him the Buddhist scriptures I've just acquired. I've asked him to copy them a hundred times and pray for the Crown Prince's well-being. I'll send someone to get them soon and place them before the Buddha."
"Yes." said the eunuch.
Lin Su did not visit the palace on the first day of her marriage. The other palace ladies were still laughing at the queen, but they did not expect that she would resort to this trick.
The Crown Prince fell seriously ill after his wedding, and it was logically the Crown Princess' fault. Even Emperor Mingcheng supported her copying of Buddhist scriptures: "The Crown Princess once went to the battlefield, where the atmosphere was filled with killing. I think she must have offended Tang'er. Now copying Buddhist scriptures is a good opportunity to dispel that killing aura and avoid future offenses."
When the Queen's decree came down, Lin Su obeyed it obediently, but he only copied it once before freeing his hands.
"The Queen didn't say when she wants it, so she could ask for it at any time. If it's not enough by then, I'm afraid she'll use it as an excuse to make trouble." Xiao Tang also knew the methods used by the women in the palace. They weren't swift and decisive, but rather gentle and tiring methods that would wear down one's will. "Do you want me to help you copy it?"
"No need, just a hundred times." Lin Su said.
The next day, the Buddhist scriptures that had been read a hundred times were neatly placed on his desk. The handwriting was exactly the same. If it weren't for the slight difference in the strokes and momentum, even Xiao Tang would not be able to recognize it.
"You have such talented people under your command?" Xiao Tang was a little surprised.
He also had people who could imitate handwriting, but the styles of handwriting varied greatly from person to person. It was okay to write a few words, but no one could write an entire article so quickly.
Three days after the wedding, Lin Su returned home, and Xiao Tang naturally accompanied him. Although he still needed someone to support him, he looked very energetic and did not look like the dying man he had been two days ago.
The Duke of Protector's Mansion also had news about the affairs in the palace, but neither Lin's father nor Lin Ting'er had any say in the palace affairs, as if they were not worried about Lin Su's situation at all. Xiao Tang was not in a position to ask the Duke of Protector, but because he was quite familiar with Lin Ting'er because of delivering the letter, he asked privately.
"Copying Buddhist scriptures? There's no way my brother can copy them properly." Lin Ting'er said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. No one in this world who can bully my brother has been born yet... and you, Your Highness, are the only one."
Others can only be bullied by him.
Lin Su had naturally not concealed Xiao Tang's current physical condition from his father, and upon hearing the good news, his father finally put his mind at ease: "Your marriage is now settled. Your mother and I will return to the southwest soon. If anything happens, just let me know. I will definitely support you wholeheartedly."
The words of the Duke of Protectorate were basically equivalent to putting the 100,000 troops in the southwest under Xiao Tang's command. Even for Lin Su's sake, he was completely confident.
After returning home, Xiao Tang and Lin Su went to the palace to pay their respects on the second day. There was an order of priority, but when they arrived, Emperor Ming Cheng and the Empress Dowager were meeting with Lin's father and mother.
When the elders were talking, the younger generation could only listen from the side. Father Lin was still polite, but it was the first time that Xiao Tang saw the power of the wife of the Duke of Protectorate.
"Although my daughter is now married to the Crown Prince, she is not completely cut off from our family. Anyone can bully her." Mother Lin smiled very kindly. "If he was wronged in the capital, it was the injustice suffered by the Duke of the Protectorate. Now he has the protection of His Majesty and His Majesty. I don't know what the person who called him a jinx was thinking. He was whipped by me and is now kneeling outside the Duke of the Protectorate's gate, apologizing."
What she said was about the young master of Kangdingbo's family. The young master was from Xiao Jin's lineage. In order to please Xiao Jin, the words she said were really unpleasant. Before Lin Su could take any action, Lin's mother had already brought elite soldiers to drag the man out and whipped him dozens of times in the street. Kangdingbo didn't even dare to stop him.
The person she was talking about was the one who made the Empress feel intimidated. Madam Lin was born into a military family and had never been easy to get along with in her early years. Now that she was like this, the Empress could only smile and say, "Madam is truly a person of temperament. Your Majesty and I will not let the Crown Princess suffer any injustice."
"Your Majesty and I get along very well, and it feels like we've known each other for a long time. In the future, I'll be far away in the southwest, so please, Your Majesty, take care of him." Mother Lin said with a smile.
"As the queen mother, this is natural." The queen said with a smile.
"By the way, Su'er, have you finished copying the Buddhist scriptures that the Queen Mother asked for? Since we are praying for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, we cannot be negligent in this matter." Mother Lin brought up the matter directly, and the Queen Mother almost sat up from her chair.
"Don't worry, mother. I am praying sincerely for His Highness. I have copied it two hundred times so far. I thought of giving one hundred copies to the Queen to pray for His Highness the Crown Prince, and keeping one hundred copies for myself. However, I didn't expect that His Highness the Crown Prince's condition would improve after I started copying the Buddhist scriptures. Thank you for your guidance, Queen." Lin Su said respectfully.
"This child is sincere." Mother Lin smiled kindly.
Lin Su's words were naturally good words, and Lin Su was sincere, but the queen who asked Lin Su to copy them did not seem so sincere.
"Sincerity is the key to success. Tang'er's health seems to be improving." Emperor Mingcheng didn't believe in sincerity. It was common for the Crown Prince's condition to fluctuate. He could get up today and fall down again tomorrow. However, the Crown Princess was sincere, and the Empress couldn't let her impression of laziness remain. "What do you think, Empress?"
The Empress Dowager knew what he meant, and in her heart she hated the mother and son, but she smiled and said, "I, too, sincerely pray for the Crown Prince. I didn't expect the Crown Princess to be so diligent and sincere. Naturally, I can't fall behind. I will also copy the Buddhist scriptures a hundred times to pray for the Crown Prince, hoping that he will live a long life."
