After the divorce, the princess was forced to raise a sickly villain

Several people were dealing with Ling Jing in the West Courtyard, but after noon, the Ling family suddenly heard a shocking news.

General Ling was seriously ill and bedridden!

What?

This was really confusing. Wasn't he fine in the palace this morning? He was strong and healthy, and he could kill a cow without any problem. How come he was seriously ill and bedridden just after receiving the imperial edict and preparing to go out to quell the rebellion?

When the news reached the palace, the emperor was shocked and angry: "Seriously ill? Wasn't he fine this morning! How come he suddenly became seriously ill?"

"Slave...slave doesn't know."

"Call a few doctors." The emperor stood up, "Leave the palace, I will go to the Ling family to see it myself!"

"Yes!"

Chen Hai hurried to prepare, Chu Xuanyi arranged the imperial guards to protect the emperor's safety, and the emperor's ceremonial guards marched out of the palace and headed straight for the Ling family.

Ling Anjie led all the family members to kneel down and greet the emperor. "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"

"What happened to General Ling?" The emperor looked at Ling Anjie, who was kneeling in the front. His expression did not look good. "Wasn't he fine in the morning? How come he suddenly..."

This sentence was obviously questioning.

Ling Anjie's expression was stern, and he bowed his head and replied respectfully: "Reporting to the emperor, my brother's condition is indeed strange."

"What's going on?"

"It's strange. My brother felt unbearable pain in his lungs as soon as he returned to the mansion. The doctor couldn't see any symptoms. I thought it was nothing serious and it would pass. Unexpectedly, it became more and more serious. After lunch, he suddenly vomited blood and couldn't even stand up." Ling Anjie explained worriedly, "I heard the news and hurried back from the Ministry of Personnel. I saw my brother lying on the bed unconscious."

The emperor frowned: "Take me to see!"

"Yes." Ling Anjie got up quickly, "Your Majesty, please come in."

Chu Xuanyi and the imperial masters followed the emperor silently, and the other royal guards stayed outside the mansion waiting, with a solemn and dignified aura that made people palpitate.

The group walked to the main courtyard and smelled a pungent smell of medicine before entering the house. The emperor frowned and stepped over the threshold with Ling Anjie.

The first wife, the second wife and other female members of the Ling family were not allowed to approach the emperor without permission, so they could only kneel outside and wait.

Ling Ancheng was lying on the bed in a daze, his face pale and his spirit was exhausted. Ling Anjie walked over and called him several times before he opened his eyes and woke up.

"Brother, the emperor is here."

Ling Ancheng struggled to get up and salute, but heard the emperor say indifferently: "If General Ling is uncomfortable, just lie down, no need to be polite."

Ling Ancheng forced himself to prop up his body, his elbows on the edge of the bed, "Your Majesty, your minister... your minister..."

"What did the doctor say?"

"Reporting to the emperor." Two doctors knelt beside him, "The general's symptoms are very strange. I can't find the root cause of the disease after repeated examinations, and it doesn't look like poisoning-"

"Are there any external injuries?"

"Reporting to the emperor, there are no external injuries."

Ling Ancheng's face was pale and gloomy.

No external injuries, no root cause, and it doesn't look like poisoning.

The emperor would definitely suspect that he was unwilling to send troops, so he suddenly pretended to be sick at this time.

But he really wasn't pretending to be sick.

The emperor ordered the accompanying imperial physicians to come forward and feel his pulse. Several imperial physicians took turns to look, smell, ask and feel, all with puzzled expressions.

"Your Majesty, General Ling's pulse really doesn't show anything abnormal."

"I'm not a good doctor, and I didn't find any abnormal symptoms."

As the imperial physicians reported one after another, the two Ling brothers' hearts gradually sank, and their faces became more and more stagnant.

The emperor said calmly: "Will the general be able to lead the troops to quell the rebellion tomorrow morning?"

Ling Ancheng's face suddenly changed.

No one knew his physical condition better than him. He had no external injuries or poisoning, but the severe pain in his lungs made him unable to stand up, so how could he lead the troops?

"The matter of suppressing the rebellion is imminent. Does General Ling have any other solutions?" The emperor said in a deep tone, his eyes fell on Ling Ancheng's pale face, "If General Ling can't lead the troops, who should the rebels send?"

Ling Ancheng was about to speak, Chu Xuanyi beside the emperor had already spoken: "Your Majesty."

The emperor and the Ling brothers turned their heads at the same time and looked at Chu Xuanyi.

"I think the eldest princess can go." Chu Xuanyi said indifferently, "The eldest princess is both civil and military, and has strong combat effectiveness. It should be no problem to suppress the rebellion."

The emperor was silent for a moment and looked at Ling Ancheng: "What do you think, General Ling?"

Did Ling Ancheng dare to say no?

Now that he has a physical problem, it is impossible for him to lead the troops in person. The emperor can only choose another general to lead the troops, but Chu Qinghuang...

"Chu Xuanyi." The emperor made a prompt decision, "Send the eldest princess here immediately."

"Yes."

Chu Xuanyi turned and walked out of the Ling family, walked out quickly, arrived outside the gate, and personally rode to the eldest princess's mansion to convey the order.

In the main courtyard, the emperor sat aside, frowning: "Doctor, can't you find any symptoms?"

The doctors all apologized: "We are incompetent!"

The emperor said majestically: "General Ling is the pillar of the country and my backbone. No matter what you think, you must find the symptoms as soon as possible and prescribe the right medicine!"

"We obey your order!"
