"Princess Zhong, I am here to deliver medicine to Prince Zhong on the orders of the Crown Princess."

You Dian excitedly asked Imperial Physician Liu to come forward, and the two of them worked together to put the pill into Lu Linzhi's mouth.

Qing Su just stared blankly without saying a word, but she hated the woman in her heart.

If that man today could have shown a little sympathy and compassion for Prince Zhong, he wouldn't have been so disheartened, and he wouldn't have felt so hopeless as he is now.

Looking at Qingsu's cold face, You Dian knew that she was jealous of the Crown Princess, but how much could this woman understand the pain in the Crown Princess' heart?

The Crown Princess is a lady from a scholarly family and values ​​her reputation the most. If the Crown Prince were to get to know about what Prince Zhong said today, it would not only implicate the Crown Princess but would also cause unrest in Jiangzuo.

"Princess Zhong, please quickly prepare for Prince Zhong. The Crown Princess will come with the Queen to visit His Highness later."

You Dian reminded: "No matter what grudges Prince Zhong has with the Crown Prince, we must not let the Queen down again."

Qing Su knew that Prince Zhong was the most filial, and the Queen was still ill, so she couldn't let her worry, so she immediately sent someone to help Lu Linzhi tidy up his clothes.

By the time everything was ready, the pill in Lu Linzhi's mouth had completely melted into his stomach, and he gradually woke up.

Knowing that he must still be feeling depressed, Qing Su quickly handed him a bowl of ginseng soup and said with a smile, "Sir, the Crown Princess has personally sent someone to bring you medicine. She will come to see you with the Queen later. Quickly drink a bowl of ginseng soup to refresh yourself, and don't let the Queen worry."

"Did she order someone to send me the medicine?"

He looked at You Dian hesitantly. Thinking of her resolute look and those cruel words just now, Lu Linzhi's eyes were full of doubt.

She would rather die with honor than live in disgrace than stay in Liyang and stop herself from taking over Liyang.

"Prince Zhong is the pillar of the country. The Crown Princess is very concerned about his condition. This medicine was indeed sent by the Crown Princess."

You Dian sincerely comforted him, "Prince Zhong, there is no need to be suspicious."

"The pillar of the country?"

Lu Linzhi snorted and laughed.

Yes, she was always thinking about the overall situation. Naturally, she was worried that she would die suddenly in the mansion and that the Li Ren Gang would cause trouble and lead to chaos in Jiangzuo.

But when she thought that she would accompany her mother into the palace, the resentment in her heart suddenly faded.

I was worrying too much. She is such a smart person, there is no need for me to worry about her in everything. Even if she leaves Liyang and returns to the prince, she can protect herself.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sneer at himself.

I am in a difficult situation now, so how can I dare to consider her future?

She was about to become the queen of Daning again and no longer needed his protection.

"The pillar of the country" is probably the best evaluation in her mind.

Even though he said those nonsense in a fit of anger today, she was still willing to come to see him. Lu Linzhi felt extremely satisfied.

He had to cheer himself up and not let the Queen worry about him anymore.

"Hurry up and get ready."

Lu Linzhi stood up and ordered, "Liyang Mansion hasn't received guests for a long time. Qingsu, please arrange for more people to clean the courtyard properly. Don't make the Crown Princess and the Queen feel uncomfortable when they enter the mansion."

Seeing that there was light in his eyes again and hope in his heart again, Qing Su was happy from the bottom of her heart and quickly agreed.

You Dian and Imperial Physician Liu watched silently, not wanting to disturb his interest.

But the yard was cleaned tidy, and after waiting for a long time no one from the palace came to report the news. Lu Linzhi was about to send someone out to check, when the sound of clappers knocking outside the mansion came in one by one, and the sound was pleasing to his ears.

Everyone listened in silence. Lu Linzhi asked Qing Su hesitantly, "How many times did the gong strike?"

Qing Su listened to it several times before he dared to answer, "Four tones."

At this moment, a servant rushed in with tears in his eyes, knelt down on the ground with heavy steps, and cried out loudly: "Your Highness, Prince Zhong, the queen has passed away."

"The Queen has passed away?"

You Dian and Imperial Physician Liu were the first to kneel down in grief.

"Queen... Empress."

Lu Linzhi looked up blankly at the sky in the palace. It was covered with dark clouds. His heart seemed to be completely torn apart. He tried his best to piece it together, but the harder he tried to convince himself, the faster his hard heart broke.

Looking at his calm and expressionless face, Qing Su felt more and more uneasy.

In less than a month, the young master lost both his parents, was forced into a desperate situation by the crown prince, and even the person he had been thinking about had drifted away from him. How could he bear such a blow?

"Son."

She called out cautiously.

"I am fine."

Lu Linzhi's stiff lips were forcibly pulled, "Qingsu, you have to find a way to bring all the brothers of the Liren Gang back to the Dali fiefdom. They have followed me in battles in the past two years, with countless casualties. We cannot allow anyone to make any mistakes again."

"Son."

His expression became uglier and uglier. Qing Su was extremely anxious: "There is no one in the Li Ren Gang who is afraid of death..."

Before she finished speaking, Lu Linzhi immediately raised his hand and said, "The Lu family soldiers are also experienced warriors, and they are not afraid of death."

Heat waves were surging in his heart, the wounds all over his body were tearing at his heart and lungs, and the strong feeling of suffocation made it impossible for him to breathe.

Knowing that she was worried about him, Lu Linzhi was still trying to comfort himself: "I'm fine. His Majesty ordered me to stay in Liyang to build a mausoleum for His Majesty and the Queen. This is a major event that cannot be delayed. They have wasted their entire lives protecting the Southern Border. I hope to choose a place with excellent feng shui for them so that they can rest in peace."

He was in a hurry to go out, but after he finally woke up, the strength he had mustered was worn away by the pent-up anger and grief in his heart, and he was ultimately unable to step out of the house. His eyes went dark, blood soaked the corners of his mouth, and he fell down violently.

"Son."

"Loyal King."

Qing Su and everyone else hurriedly went to meet them.

After carrying the man into the bedroom, Imperial Physician Liu felt his pulse and examined his injuries. Looking at the wounds all over his body, he found that several arrow wounds had not yet healed and were bleeding again.

He frowned distressedly: "Your Highness Prince Zhong has endured too much for the stability of Jiangzuo over the years. The injuries all over his body need to be properly recuperated, but he has suffered a series of blows at this time. Even if the external injuries can heal, the internal trauma will be difficult to heal. I'm afraid this time it will be very difficult."

"What nonsense are you talking about."

Qing Su scolded: "He has always been in good health and invincible on the battlefield. This time he just suffered a small blow. How can Imperial Physician Liu say such alarmist things?"

"Princess Zhong, even the strongest man is not as strong as a copper wall. Humans eat grains and cereals, and they are all mortal. How can they not suffer from illness and pain?"

Imperial Physician Liu pointed at the arrow wounds on his chest and said, "Your Highness has always been a man who likes to endure. No matter how serious the injury is, he always endures it alone. Others always see him as carefree and uninhibited, but this old minister and the Queen know it best."

"During the defense of Liyang City, everyone thought he was fine, but the injuries His Highness received were fatal. In less than a year, he also suffered several arrow wounds. His Highness is only a man who has just passed the age of twenty. How could he endure so many hardships?"

Thinking of how gentle he was usually, Qingsu burst into tears.

"I will do my best to treat you. Whether you can survive this time depends entirely on your luck."

Imperial Physician Liu sighed helplessly and had to go back with You Dian to report.

Qing Su thought about what Liu the Imperial Physician said, and after much thought, she felt that the only person who could make the young master regain the desire to live was probably that person.
