Transmigrating into a Man's Wife: I Share the Pain with the Male Protagonist

"......" Li Mofu touched his face.

In fact, they are all the same. The reason why the third prince is not tempted by the ghost immortal is because he is young and healthy. After he ascends the throne because of his popularity among the people, he will still face the same choice as the current emperor. After all, people will grow old, and birth, aging, sickness and death are the normal state of human life.

"The people in the capital are already uneasy because of the incident involving the Crown Prince's concubine. The situation has finally eased for a while, and now there's news of an abnormal death of a concubine in the harem... I don't know what will happen." Wang Ruiyan said with some concern.

"If this continues, the emperor and the prince will arrest people to make medicine at will. If it really comes to this, the capital will definitely be in turmoil, and then the border will also be in chaos." Li Mofu said helplessly.

Lu Fengning pursed his lips and said, "If that's the case, father will definitely return to the battlefield."

Everyone fell silent for a moment. If Marquis Wu'an really left at this time, it was hard to imagine how they would survive in this devil's den of capital, especially since the Crown Prince and the others wanted to use Wang Ruiyan to make medicine.

"We'll take it one step at a time," Wang Ruiyan said helplessly, then added, "The Duke should be alright, right?"

Li Mofu shook his head, "It's hard to say."

"...It is said that His Majesty's temper has improved a lot since the arrival of the Ghost Immortal, but today he was furious because of the Duke's words..." Everyone knew what Lu Fengning meant without him having to finish.

Li Mofu's heart was filled with fear. He began to fear the current turmoil. He couldn't help but look at Wang Ruiyan, thinking that at least Wang Ruiyan was still there. As long as the heroine was there, everything shouldn't be too bad. After all, this was just a face-slapping domestic intrigue novel...

In the following days, Marquis Wu'an, Lu Mingyun and Zhao Xu went around pleading with Duke Zhao for mercy. Most people knew the seriousness of the matter and wrote letters to the emperor. Although there were some people who did not care about it, they were not worth mentioning.

But even so, Duke Zhao was not released from prison.

Later, after much inquiry, Marquis Wu'an learned that the emperor had never read the memorials. His Majesty now spent most of his time sitting cross-legged in meditation, so he had no time to read documents. Even when he attended court, he would just listen casually and then wave goodbye.

Under the preaching and instigation of the ghost immortal, the emperor seemed to have become extremely convinced that he could cultivate and become an immortal after he recovered his health. By that time, he would have a vast world at his disposal, so why should he be limited to this world?

Soon, other ministers also sensed the emperor's abnormality. Several ministers began to offer advice, but the more tactful remarks were simply ignored by the emperor. Later, a few ministers who spoke sharply were directly imprisoned by the emperor.

The atmosphere in the capital suddenly became very strange. People did not dare to talk about the emperor on the streets, so they all talked about him in secret, and all kinds of things were said at once.

During the time when Duke Zhao was imprisoned, Lu Mingyun accompanied Zhao Xu to visit him. The Duke was not doing well. He was already old, and now he looked even more haggard because he couldn't eat or sleep well. He asked Zhao Xu not to run around for him anymore. He asked the emperor for an explanation because he loved his daughter, but there was no need for Zhao Xu to be unhappy with the emperor over this matter.

After all, Zhao Xu's identity is awkward, and helping anyone would give him an excuse.

Li Mofu's news about the palace came entirely from Lu Mingyun and Lu Fengning, but he clearly felt that the streets were not as lively as before. For some reason, there were more patrolling troops on the streets. When Li Mofu and Wang Ruiyan went out, they saw Liang Yu leading the patrol several times.

These people brought considerable pressure to the people, because in this situation everyone knew tacitly that these troops were here to control their speech.

Just when everyone was anxiously waiting for news from Duke Zhao, the third prince was suddenly sent to Jiangnan by the emperor on the pretext of inspecting the situation there. As for what he was inspecting, no one knew, and by the time everyone found out, the third prince had already left the capital.
