She closed her eyes: If his sword really took her life, she would accept it...
Jinghan...smelling the faint fragrance on her body, a familiar feeling came in his soul. The Canglong sword in his hand slipped, and Sikong Zhan mechanically reached out to hug Lin Jinghan.
Lin Jinghan thought Sikong Zhan had finally regained consciousness, and looked up at him happily, but found that his eyes were still blood red, without a trace of black.
How could this happen? He had clearly recognized her!
Sikong Zhan left him, dissatisfied with the sweet feeling, held her head, and continued the kiss.
Even though he hadn't regained consciousness yet, his movements were so cautious, for fear of hurting her.
Lin Jinghan didn't know what was going on, so she just let him do whatever he wanted. She even responded to him enthusiastically when she couldn't help herself, completely forgetting that this was the throne room and so many people were watching them.
After a long while, Sikong Zhan let her go. She looked up at his eyes, which were still blood red. She asked breathlessly, "Ah Zhan, do you know who I am?"
His eyes moved mechanically, and Lin Jinghan saw confusion and struggle in his eyes.
She took a step back and left his embrace. Suddenly losing her support, her body swayed.
She tried her best to steady herself and continued to ask, "Ah Zhan, who am I? Who are you?"
"Come here!" He frowned, unhappy that she had left him, and reached out to hug her.
It worked! She took two steps back, and this time she swayed even more violently, as if she would fall down at any moment, but she still asked firmly:
"Ah Zhan, control yourself, otherwise, I will leave you forever and you will never see me again."
She was actually going to leave him! Absolutely not! A small black dot quickly appeared in Sikong Zhan's pupils, and the ink dot quickly enlarged. His pupils turned back to black, and he angrily pulled Lin Jinghan back into his arms, "Jinghan, don't leave me!"
Lin Jinghan looked up and blinked at him. Seeing that his eyes were still blood red except for the pupils, she carefully poked his chest and said, "Ah Zhan, do you know what you did?"
Sikong Zhan glanced around.
"They, damn it!"
They dared to plot against him and Jinghan and wanted to kill them. Damn it!
"You wanted to kill me just now. Do I deserve to die too?" Lin Jinghan said this and then she could no longer hold on and fainted.
"Xiao Yi has sufficient energy, activating upgrade mode... Warning! The host's soul is damaged and cannot support Xiao Yi's upgrade. Stop upgrade mode and activate healing mode. Energy required: 100%..."
The medical space absorbed the remaining witch power from the Great Witch and the Holy Butterfly in Lin Jinghan's body, ended the upgrade preparation phase, forced Lin Jinghan into a coma, and repaired her soul.
"Jinghan!" Sikong Zhan immediately picked her up and flew away from the palace.
In the Golden Palace, those who were still alive felt like they had survived a calamity. They looked at the emperor whose head had fallen off in disbelief, and for a moment they didn't know what to do.
The emperor passed away without a crown prince, so choosing a new emperor became a difficult matter.
Prime Minister Lin's thoughts turned again and again. He first stabilized the court officials and asked everyone to keep the emperor's death a secret. He would wait and see what Prince Jingnan intended to do. No matter what, he had to preserve the foundation of Donglin first.
The ministers thought what the prime minister said made sense and hurried out of the palace to make preparations.
After sending off the court officials, Lin Lian hurried to the Imperial Concubine's place and secretly asked the imperial physician to take her pulse. He hoped that Lin Wanrou would have a posthumous child. He would definitely do everything he could to push that child to the throne. If all else failed, there was still the child in the virtuous concubine's belly! After all, they were all his Lin family's children.
But the premise of all this is that Sikong Zhan, who holds a large army and personally killed the emperor, does he have the idea of becoming emperor himself?
He didn't think that Prince Jingnan would really treat him as his father-in-law after becoming emperor.
Therefore, he would never watch Prince Jingnan become emperor no matter what, and he would try every means to stop him.
Minister Lin had a good idea, but the imperial physician shook his head at him - Lin Wanrou was not pregnant.
But it’s not a big deal. Maybe the baby is too young and has not been diagnosed?
After the imperial physician left, only the father and daughter were left in the imperial concubine's palace. Minister Lin lowered his voice and said,
"Wanrou, the emperor has passed away..."
"How is that possible?" Lin Wanrou really didn't want to believe it.
Minister Lin told her what happened in the Golden Palace today, and Lin Wanrou cried until she was hoarse.
Minister Lin was very patient and waited until she stopped crying. Then he slowly said, "Wanrou, do you know what the fate of a concubine without an heir is?"
Lin Wanrou hadn't really thought about this question. She asked with her red and swollen eyes, "What will happen to me?"
Lin Xiang sighed, "Either be buried with him, or become a monk and practice for the rest of your life in a royal temple."
Lin Wanrou was terrified. She grabbed Lin Xiang's arm and said, "No, I don't want to! I don't want to be buried with him, and I don't want to become a monk! Daddy, please save me!"
Minister Lin asked meaningfully, "Wanrou, has the emperor visited you recently?"
Lin Wanrou became angry when she talked about this. The tears that had just stopped flowing could not help but flow again. "Ever since the emperor married that concubine, he has been going to her place every night. I asked him to come several times, but he always used the excuse of being busy with state affairs to avoid coming to see me..."
"Wanrou, it's better to save yourself than to ask others for help. Do you know that if you are pregnant with the emperor's child now, when you give birth to a dragon son, he will be the future emperor."
At this moment, Lin Wanrou finally understood why her father had called the imperial physician. Ever since entering the palace, she had dreamed of conceiving a prince. She knew all about these things very well. She sobbed and said,
"But I just had my period a few days ago, and the Emperor hasn't been to my palace since then. There's no way I can get pregnant!"
"No, Wanrou, the Emperor favored you last night. Daddy will find a way for you. The Tongshi will record your presence in the emperor's bed last night. Daddy will find you a few reliable men. You should work hard these few days. If you can get pregnant, others won't be able to tell with just a few days' delay."
"What? Daddy, you want me to be with another man..." Lin Wanrou was stunned and quickly covered her mouth.
Minister Lin thought he was afraid of the news leaking out, so he comforted him:
"Wanrou, don't worry. Ever since the theft in your palace, all the people in your palace have been replaced by our own people. They are all loyal to the Prime Minister's Mansion and will not leak any information."
Lin Wanrou shook her head repeatedly.
"No, no, I can't do it..." She couldn't betray her cousin, the emperor.
"Wanrou, wealth and honor are achieved through risk! Since you don't want to seek wealth, be buried with your parents or become a nun, you can choose one. Although your father cannot change your outcome, he can still help you choose between the two." Lin Xiang said with regret.
