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

After searching for several days, the imperial guards finally called off their search, but the city gates remained open, maintaining stricter exit regulations. Even so, the streets of the capital were busier than ever. People always managed to adapt to any situation, and as long as the pressure from above eased, they would unleash their vitality.

About half a month later, the old lady and Lu Nianhuan brought a dozen servants to Wu County, which was not far from the capital, but close to the river, making it convenient for traveling to Jiangnan. The reason they stayed there was because the old lady could no longer bear it and was forced to rest for a while.

Lu Mingyun said that the old lady was a lady from a wealthy family. She had hardly ever left home when she was young, and she rarely went out after she got married, let alone left the capital, so she was not used to sitting in a car for a long time.

In Li Mofu's words, it's motion sickness.

However, the emperor and the prince had not made any trouble in the past half month, so Lu Mingyun felt more at ease. Now the old lady and Lu Nianhuan could stay in Wu County. At least it wouldn't take much time to take a boat to Jiangnan from there.

"Perhaps His Majesty has come to terms with it. The capital has become much more lively recently. You can go out more often." Lu Mingyun said as he sat on a small stool next to Li Mofu.

Li Mofu's recliner was placed under the tree. When he looked up, he could see the scattered sunlight and the bright green leaves. "If the emperor had come to his senses, he would have opened the city gates long ago. He wouldn't have let the imperial guards guard there. This doesn't mean he's come to his senses. It means he hasn't figured out how to deal with it."

Lu Mingyun smiled helplessly, "That's fine, I'll be worried about you if you keep going out and wandering around."

"Just worry about yourself. You're just hanging around outside all day." Li Mofu said, closing his eyes.

Lu Mingyun raised his hand and gently pinched Li Mofu's face. Li Mofu turned his back to him without even opening his eyes. Lu Mingyun was a little amused. He turned his head and saw two fat cats sleeping not far away.

Li Mofu not only came out to bask in the sun himself, but also moved two chairs out for his cat to bask in the sun. It's really... cute.

Finally, Lu Mingyun asked someone to bring a recliner and he and Li Mo slept under the tree for a while.

At the end of March, the people of the capital seemed to have almost forgotten the shadow of the Imperial Guards patrolling the capital, and they resumed their daily lives. But at this time, another big event happened in the capital.

The emperor passed away.

Very suddenly and unbelievably, the palace suddenly released the news that the emperor had died, and the people in the capital had to wear plain clothes and observe mourning for a month. During this month, no happy events such as marriage were allowed.

When Li Mofu and his men learned that the emperor had passed away, they were all shocked. The four of them gathered together again to discuss the matter.

"How could the emperor die suddenly? Didn't he take a long-lasting blood-clearing medicine? Why would he die at this time?" Li Mofu's mind was full of conspiracy theories. He didn't believe that the emperor was dead at all. This must be some conspiracy.

"Could it be that His Majesty is only taking ordinary blood medicine?" Lu Fengning guessed.

Wang Ruiyan frowned, "Then who took the medicine made by Concubine De? They can't be kept, right?"

"That's right. The emperor is not stupid. How could he not take the medicine? It will be useless if he takes it after he dies." Li Mofu frowned and said.

The three of them looked at each other, and saw confusion and disbelief in each other's eyes, so the four of them fell silent. Li Mofu suddenly had a bad idea in his mind.

"Maybe the two long-acting blood medicines are with the prince, and the emperor's blood medicine was swapped by him." Lu Mingyun expressed the worst thought in everyone's mind.

If this is the case, then the prince had reached out to the emperor long ago, and even took advantage of the emperor being seduced by witchcraft to secretly undermine the emperor's power. Otherwise, this long-acting blood medicine would not have been so easily replaced from the emperor's ears.

The prince's thinking was indeed a bit ahead of his time. He might have planned a way out for himself a long time ago, otherwise he would not have secretly hidden another long-acting blood medicine.

Now that the Ghost Immortal is gone, the ordinary blood medicine the emperor takes has limited efficacy. Without the support of subsequent blood medicines, he will soon become weak as Lin San said, and even die of weakness.

But......

"Logically speaking, although the palace doesn't have too many long-acting blood medicines, it should still have ordinary blood medicines. How come the emperor's medicine expired so soon?" Li Mofu asked tactfully.

Wang Ruiyan widened her eyes slightly. "Do you think His Majesty's death wasn't just due to the expiration of the medicine, but that someone deliberately withheld the blood medicine from His Majesty, causing His Majesty to die so quickly?"

"Well! Of course, I don't think it's reasonable for the emperor to take blood medicine to prolong his life, but I just feel there are doubts about it." Li Mofu quickly added.

Lu Fengning frowned and sighed, "If that's the case, the most likely person to do this is the Crown Prince."

"......" Lu Mingyun pursed his lips, not knowing what he was thinking.

"I didn't expect that the prince, who is so friendly and gentle in daily life, would be such a person in private," said Lu Fengning.

Wang Ruiyan rolled her eyes at him. "It's a pity you're still here. Didn't the fact that he used his concubine as medicine reveal him to everyone? He's nothing but a hypocrite."

"...I just feel sad that the prince didn't even let his own father go." Lu Fengning scratched his head and said.

Wang Ruiyan pursed her lips, glanced at Lu Fengning, and then looked at Li Mofu. Li Mofu shrugged. There were emperors in history who killed their fathers to ascend to the throne. Some not only killed their fathers but also their brothers. Where was the family affection in the face of imperial power?

The emperor's death caused the people in the capital to panic again. They were very afraid that a power struggle would break out at this time, which would make their lives miserable.

Everything in the palace was going on in an orderly manner. The prince knelt before the emperor's coffin and accepted the emperor's will. Seven days later, the emperor was buried in the imperial mausoleum and the prince ascended the throne.
