The sickly son died young? After the marriage exchange, I will bring prosperity to his entire clan f

He thought he could sneak in, but his luck wasn't so good. Ling Silang only followed the palace servants to the side hall, put down his things, and had to leave.

Du Mingxian knew that this was the closest place to the Emperor. If she went out now, there would be guards outside, and it would be too difficult to come back in.

She only had time to slip a note into Ling Silang's hand before she entered her spatial dimension from a corner of the side hall and watched Ling Silang leave with the others.

She also didn't forget to give the little eunuch she put in the space a little sleeping potion, for fear that he would wake up.

After waiting and waiting, a few people came in to eat. There were no princes, only a few leading military officers, a total of three people. Du Mingxian only recognized one of them.

In his previous life, he was also a high-ranking official in the imperial court. Because they were both military officers, he was quite close to Wu Daniu. Du Mingxian knew him and was familiar with him. This person was... one of the Third Prince's men.

She didn't know the other two.

The three of them didn't say anything important, and she had no idea who was behind it all.

After the three finished eating and went out, a palace servant came in to clear away the empty bowls and plates and then left. There was no one left in the side hall, so Du Mingxian waited quietly.

No one came in, so she quietly went out and found no one there. Then she thought of going to the main hall, where the emperor was.

However... there were always people guarding that door, so Du Mingxian didn't dare to go there rashly.

She could only wait for an opportunity. She waited and waited, and in the afternoon, someone came in from outside. The main hall door opened, and the Crown Prince, looking cold, was brought out. The two people guarding the door also left with him.

This was the best opportunity. Without any hesitation, Du Mingxian ran directly from the side hall to the main hall. There was no one inside. She looked around and saw only the emperor lying on the dragon bed, barely breathing.

With Ling Silang not around, Du Mingxian didn't know which medicine to use. However, Ling Silang had brewed some medicine for her in the space before, and the medicine was kept in the kitchen.

She went into her spatial dimension, quickly heated up the medicine, and then brought it to the Emperor. At that moment, she felt immense regret. Ling Silang shouldn't have gone out; he should have stayed with her in the spatial dimension. That's how they ended up seeing the Emperor.

After the emperor drank the medicine, he showed no reaction. However, it took her a long time to feed him the medicine, as he was unconscious and the medicine had to be fed to him little by little.

By the time she finished drinking her medicine, it was already dark outside, and the Crown Prince returned at that moment.

Du Mingxian hurriedly put away the medicine bowl, found a corner, and slipped into her spatial dimension.

The crown prince entered, followed by several adult princes.

Because of his previous secretive actions, the second prince was later mistakenly discovered by Du Mingxian and Ling Silang, and was eventually demoted to a commoner by the emperor and imprisoned for life.

The Third Prince, Fourth Prince, Fifth Prince, and Sixth Prince all followed the Crown Prince in, their faces solemn.

The sixth prince is the youngest, but he's seventeen this year. "What do we do now? Who are they, and why are they so powerful?"

The Third Prince lowered his eyes. "What I'm most worried about right now is Father Emperor. They won't even invite the imperial physicians. If Father Emperor doesn't receive treatment soon... I'm afraid the situation won't be optimistic."

The fourth prince looked at the crown prince and asked, "Brother, what should we do now?"

The Crown Prince was at a loss for what to do. Yesterday, he had been thinking that Ling Silang would be able to send the medicine in after he left, but who knew that what he would get was a palace coup. Now the palace was under the control of the other side, and the control was done very quietly.

"Let's wait. They're watching our every move. No one can send a message. The palace is under control. We'll see when the court officials discover something."

There's no other way now except this.

"He didn't attend the morning court session today. With Father Emperor in this state, we are all under control. The palace is very strict, so someone will definitely notice something is wrong."

The fourth prince muttered to himself, "I hope someone finds us soon so they can save us."

Just then, someone walked in from outside. "Your Highnesses, please return. Your Highness, please wait here. Our master has something to discuss with you."

The Crown Prince and the other princes are currently powerless to resist. They had just said they wanted to come and see the Emperor to discuss countermeasures, but in the end, they were at a loss.

When the other party told them to leave, the group didn't say anything and could only obediently follow.

It's normal for a few people to die in a palace coup. The other side hasn't killed anyone yet, so if they dare to resist, it's perfectly normal for them to be killed.

These people left, and the other party had not yet arrived. Du Mingxian emerged from the shadows, approached quietly, and whispered, "Your Highness."

The crown prince sensed someone approaching, and before he could turn around, he heard a familiar voice. Turning around, he was shocked to see Du Mingxian in front of him. "You... how did you get in?"

Du Mingxian pulled the Crown Prince a little further inside before whispering, "When my husband went out of the palace to get medicine, he saw soldiers on the main street heading towards the palace. He followed them for a while and then saw them go straight into the palace."

“It was quite surprising for soldiers to enter the palace in the middle of the night. We felt something was amiss, so we went to the Crown Prince’s residence to deliver a message. But then we didn’t know who to contact or what to do, so we decided to sneak into the palace to check on the situation.”

The Crown Prince knew Du Mingxian was skilled, but he didn't expect her to be this capable, managing to sneak here undetected. "Did you bring any medicine with you?"

"I brought it, but I don't know the Emperor's current condition, so I dare not give him the medicine."

The crown prince closed his eyes, a hint of despair in his voice. "Zi Mo didn't come in with you?"

"No."

"I only know that there are Tharvas among the people controlling the palace. I don't know the specifics yet. Among the people they brought, there are a few who are particularly skilled. The people around me, as well as the experts around my father, were all captured by them and drugged and controlled."

Du Mingxian recalled seeing the palace gates opened from the inside. "Your Highness, although there were Tharvas inside, there must be traitors among our own people. The palace gates were opened from the inside to welcome those people in."

"Moreover... the palace guards were replaced without a sound, which must have been premeditated."

The Crown Prince was well aware of this, but there was no way to investigate now. "The most important thing right now is Father Emperor. Father Emperor cannot be harmed."

Du Mingxian looked at the Emperor lying on the bed. "Your Highness, perhaps... I should take the Emperor out of the palace?"

A glint of light flashed in the prince's eyes. "You can do it?"

"I want to give it a try, but I can't be 100% sure."

The Crown Prince agreed after a moment's thought, "The safest course of action now is to send Father out of the palace. You...you must be careful and protect Father well."

"Your Highness, you know the Emperor's condition. If I take the Emperor out now, I don't know if I can really cure him. What if... what if I can't cure him?"

She felt a pang of regret. She had only been thinking about saving the person, but after saying that she would take him out, she realized that the person being taken out was the Emperor, not just anyone.
