"What happened?" Sun was shocked and asked without thinking.

Ling Jingshu frowned and replied: "Someone suddenly came to the palace and told Wei Yan to enter the palace immediately."

Everyone was shocked.

Today is the day when Wei Yan will accompany Ling Jingshu back home. If it wasn't an extremely urgent matter, the palace would definitely not summon Wei Yan into the palace in a hurry.

Could it be that the emperor's condition has relapsed again?

This thought flashed through Ling Jingshu's mind, and she quickly stood up: "I'm going to the main hall to take a look."

There was an urgent summons from the palace, and Wei Yan had to put aside even serious matters and must return to the palace immediately.

Uncle Ling and Fifth Master Ling couldn't stop him. Seeing Ling Jingshu coming in such a hurry, he thought she was unhappy.

Ling Wuye coughed and said, "Ah Shu, the Queen personally ordered someone to take Wei Yan into the palace. There must be something important. You can't mess around."

Ling Jingshu didn't have time to explain to Lord Ling Wu, and said directly to Wei Yan: "There must be something big going on in the palace. You should go back quickly! Don't worry about me."

Wei Yan was filled with guilt: "I'm sorry. I should have stayed with you all day at Ling Mansion today." Once he left, Ling Jingshu would have to be left alone in Ling Mansion.

It is unpleasant no matter how you think about a newly married girl staying alone at her parents' house and having to go back home alone at night.

Ling Jingshu didn't take it seriously at all, and kept urging: "What should I be afraid of if I am alone? I have my family with me! It's important that you return to the palace, don't delay."

Ling Xiao interrupted at the right moment: "I'll have people pack their luggage later. In the afternoon, I'll take Ah Shu back to the Wei Mansion and settle down in the Wei Mansion. Brother-in-law, you won't be offended!"

How can I be surprised!

It’s not too late to be grateful!

Once he enters the palace, he doesn't know how many days it will take him to come back. With Ling Xiao accompanying Ling Jingshu, he could feel more at ease.

Wei Yan glanced at Ling Xiao gratefully and had no time to say more: "Then it's settled. I'll take the first step."

The waiter waiting nearby looked anxious, but did not dare to rush too much. Seeing that Wei Yan was finally willing to leave, he was relieved.

…

This sudden incident cast a shadow over the hearts of everyone in the Ling family.

Ling Jingshu was familiar with the situation in the palace and was even more uneasy.

In all likelihood, something happened to the Emperor! That's why he rushed to summon Wei Yan back to the palace.

She really didn't like the fatuous and lustful emperor. However, Queen Wei was just established as the new queen this year, and her foundation in the palace is not yet stable. If the emperor dies due to a sudden illness, Queen Wei will immediately become the Queen Mother Wei.

If the prince ascends the throne, the princess will naturally move into the palace and become the queen of the Zhou Dynasty. Queen Wei's position in the palace was embarrassing.

It was only for Empress Wei, she also hoped that the emperor would live for a few more years. At least we have to wait until Princess Anya has recruited her consort and Queen Wei has established a firm foothold in the palace before heading west...

Everyone in the Ling family was also restless, each speculating on the reasons. I was not in the mood to talk for a while.

After having a tasteless lunch, Ling Xiao immediately ordered the bookboy to pack his luggage.

Two hours later, it was getting dark, and Ling Xiao accompanied Ling Jingshu back to the Wei Mansion.

Ling Jingshu was preoccupied and didn't say much along the way. After arriving at the Wei Mansion, he immediately ordered the chief steward to find a place for Ling Xiao. The inner residence of the Wei Mansion is very large, with seven or eight courtyards that can be lived in. Ling Jingshu deliberately chose the one closest to her main courtyard.

The chief steward was naturally surprised when he saw that Wei Yan was missing and there was an uncle. However, those who are capable of being in charge of affairs are quite capable. They don't ask any questions and just retreat after receiving the order.

"Ah Shu, don't worry anymore." Ling Xiao opened his mouth to break the silence: "It's still unclear what happened in the palace. It's useless to think too much. Just relax and wait, maybe my brother-in-law will be here soon. I'll send someone back to deliver the letter."

I hope so.

Ling Jingshu took a deep breath, cheered up and said, "You're right. We don't know what's going on yet, so there's no need to scare yourself. It's getting late, so I'll let the kitchen prepare dinner."

"By the way, you've been on leave for so long, so it's time to return to the Imperial College! So as not to delay your studies. It's very close to the Imperial College, and it's just a walk away from the Imperial College. From now on, you can live here with peace of mind, and go out early and come back late every day. "

Ling Xiao smiled and agreed.

When the two siblings were sitting together for dinner, Ling Xiao suddenly felt something: "People's fate is really unpredictable. A few years ago, my sister and I were still in Dingzhou, and we worked hard every day to please my grandmother. I I thought I would never see the light of day again, and I was doomed to spend the rest of my life blind.”

Who would have thought that in just a few years, their lives would have changed drastically?

Ling Jingshu smiled slightly.

For Ling Xiao, it was only a few years.

To her, it was two lives. Those dark and painful pasts were completely gone with Lu An's death and Ling's exile. Now she has a beloved husband and a biological brother by her side.

Such happiness, for her, is a dream that she never wants to wake up from.

…

That night, Wei Yan stayed away all night and had no time to send someone back to deliver the letter.

Ling Jingshu was mentally prepared and waited patiently.

It wasn't until the third day that there was finally news from the palace.

Wei Yan was still left in the palace, and it was Tiandong who came back to deliver the letter.

"Tiandong, what's going on in the palace?" Ling Jingshu asked anxiously: "Is the emperor's condition getting worse again?"

Tiandong wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and whispered: "Yes. The emperor's condition has been stabilized before. As long as he doesn't get angry and calms down, he will be fine. But Prince An fell ill in the clan's mansion. The emperor sent Zhang Yizheng and Zhou Taiyi to the prison of Zongren Mansion to treat King An. "

"I didn't expect that this diagnosis would cause a commotion..."

King An couldn't eat for two whole days, and he looked extremely weak and thin. Zhang Yizheng and Zhou Taiyi went to the Zongren Mansion according to the imperial decree and carefully examined King An. After the diagnosis, they came to a shocking result.

King An was poisoned by a rare chronic poison.

This chronic poison poisons very slowly and does not cause any abnormality in the short term. After taking it for three months, it will slowly take effect. The toxicity first spreads from the stomach, making it difficult to swallow. Even if you eat it reluctantly, you will spit it out completely.

This is exactly what is so rare and powerful about this chronic poison.

Those who are poisoned will eventually starve to death.

Ling Jingshu felt horrified after hearing this, and blurted out a question: "Killing can only be done with a nod of the head. Since the poisoner had the opportunity to poison, why didn't he just pour some violent poison and kill Prince An directly?"

In this way, it is clear that he is going to torment King An to death!

Who on earth has such a deep hatred against King An?
