Tuoba Ling never refused Tuoba Xiao's sudden concern. He knew that Tuoba Xiao did this not because he really cared about him, but because he cared about the face of the royal family.
Tuoba Xiao gave him many beauties, thinking that as long as he could give birth to a child, even if it would remove the label of infertility from him, it would also save his reputation as a father, the Khan.
After finishing the social engagements in the Queen Mother's Palace, Tuoba Ling was able to escape. As soon as he left the hall, he saw the Fourth Prince. Tuoba Ling knew that his younger brother was here to win him over, but he didn't want to act anymore. He said hello to the Fourth Prince and left the palace to return to his own palace.
Tuoba Ling knew that the Fourth Prince and several other princes hoped to win him over in order to increase their bargaining chips in the fight for the position of Khan.
But Tuoba Ling knew even better that although Tuoba Xiao did not say it, the heir he preferred in his heart was still the eldest prince born to the Queen Mother. Otherwise, he would not have agreed to her request to register his own adult prince under her name after the Queen Mother's request.
Now several princes in the court are fighting each other fiercely, but it is only because Tuoba Xiao does not want to decide the position of the crown prince too early, so he intends to sit on the mountain and watch the fight.

Thinking of Zhuge Liannu, the smile on Tuoba Ling's face became much more genuine. Now he was keeping a low profile, and it was still uncertain who would take over the position of Khan.
Qin Yanning, Tuoba Ling silently chewed over this name several times. How many things about this little princess did he not know?
When he thought of Tuoba Xiao's eyes today, even Zhuge Liannu couldn't make Tuoba Ling concentrate.
Shaman and several craftsmen noticed that something was wrong with Tuoba Ling. Shaman asked cautiously, "Your Highness, did things go wrong when you entered the palace today?"
Tuoba Ling shook his head and took Shaman out of the room where he was researching the Zhuge Crossbow. "What do you think is the reason why a person is uneasy?"
Tuoba Ling knew that he shouldn't ask Shaman, but Amu was not around at the moment, so he could only pick the tallest one among the short ones and ask Shaman why.
Sure enough, after hearing what Tuoba Ling said, Shaman scratched his head in confusion. He felt that his Highness's question was indeed difficult to answer, but he still bravely asked, "That depends on whether Your Highness is upset because of people or things."
Tuoba Ling said faintly: "Because of people."
Shaman's forehead suddenly broke out in sweat. Who on earth did his Highness dislike so much that he was so upset? He wasn't worried that his Highness would be upset because of a girl. He and Amu had been with his Highness for many years and understood his Highness's temperament best.
But Tuoba Ling's next sentence broke Shaman's perception of him.
Tuoba Ling added: "It's because of a woman."
Shaman felt the sweat on his forehead dripping down. He asked hesitantly, "Is Your Highness interested in that girl?"
