The Crown Prince naturally knew this, but his father was still in the palace, which only posed a threat to him, and he had no way to guarantee his father's safety.

Let Father Emperor leave the palace with Du Mingxian. Even if Father Emperor really dies in the end, his body can be preserved from being dishonored.

"Just do your best, I won't blame you."

Du Mingxian sighed inwardly. Luckily, she had spiritual water in her space. Since the emperor had been taken away by her, he couldn't die at her hands, otherwise, she wouldn't be able to explain herself.

We have to live no matter what, even if it's just for a few more months.

"it is good."

After the two discussed it, Du Mingxian hid in the shadows. She was a little worried about Ling Silang. He was unfamiliar with the palace and there were many unfamiliar faces. Where should he hide in the middle of the night?

A moment later, someone came over and said, "Your Highness, our master invites you."

The prince did not turn around and followed the man away.

Du Mingxian moved the Emperor directly into her spatial dimension. Fearing it might not be safe, she also used a little sleeping potion on him. There was no one guarding the outside entrance. After she came out, she went to the side hall first, but it was crowded with people. How was she going to leave?

Just as I was trying to figure out what to do, I heard a commotion in the distance; the fire had started.

She had a strange premonition that Ling Silang had started the fire.

The palace buildings are very vulnerable to fire. If it's not controlled properly, the entire palace could burn down. Half of the people who were supposed to stay behind were pulled away to fight the fire.

Du Mingxian also took advantage of this time to quietly slip out and leave. Outside, she found people rushing to put out the fire. She took out a bucket from her spatial storage and ran with everyone.

Halfway there, she ran directly towards the back garden.

She hoped to find Ling Shilang in the back garden and then leave together.

This time, they were lucky. Ling Silang found a corner to hide in where they had entered the palace. When he saw a figure coming, he didn't dare to shout. He just tapped the stone rhythmically twice.

is it you?

Du Mingxian understood and immediately responded softly: It's me.

Ling Silang emerged from the shadows. Upon seeing him, Du Mingxian disregarded everything else and immediately sent him into her spatial dimension.

Ling Silang had already adapted to the sudden transition from the darkness outside to this bright and spacious space, but... could someone tell him why the Emperor was in this space, and why he was lying on the ground?

Du Mingxian tried every means to escape from the palace, while Ling Silang went to treat the emperor immediately.

Both husband and wife were very busy. Because of the fire in the palace, Du Mingxian escaped the palace smoothly and went to the Wen residence first.

News came from the palace today that the Emperor is ill and has been exempted from the morning court session. The palace is also under martial law, and no one is allowed to enter. Lord Wen did not go to the Ministry of War today either, but stayed at home waiting for news.

He had held out some hope, but after waiting all day, neither Ling Silang nor Du Mingxian showed up. He was exhausted, worried about the Emperor, the situation in the palace, and whether Du Mingxian and Ling Silang had been discovered.

Upon seeing Du Mingxian appear, Lord Wen hurriedly pulled her to his side and looked her up and down. Only after finding that she was alright did he feel relieved.

"It's okay if it's okay, it's okay if it's okay."

Du Mingxian felt a warmth in her heart. "Father, I'm fine, but the situation in the palace is not good. The palace has been taken into custody, including the Crown Prince and others. After I heard the news, I didn't dare to wander around. I came out when it got dark."

Lord Wen's expression was extremely grave. "What should we do? The Emperor is seriously ill, his fate unknown, and the Crown Prince and others are under control. Is Heaven going to destroy our Great Shun?"

“Father, the morning court session cannot be suspended for too long. You are also an important minister. Let’s see how things go before making a decision. I think the Emperor should be fine for now, and the Crown Prince and the others should be safe for the time being.”

"The other party didn't immediately force the emperor to abdicate; they wanted to proceed gradually and maintain a good reputation." Du Mingxian didn't dare to say that the emperor had been brought out by her, so she could only comfort Lord Wen in a different way.

Lord Wen has no other choice now. "This matter can't be kept secret for long. I'll just wait and see."

"Then Father, you should rest first. You need to recharge your energy. I'll go home now."

"Why don't you stay here? It's too late."

"It's okay. I'm worried about not going home. I need to go back and let them know I'm safe."

"Okay, be careful."

"Ah."

As soon as Du Mingxian got home, Chunfeng and the others found out. Du Mingxian waved her hand and told them to go and rest, and that they could talk about it tomorrow.

He returned to his room, closed the door, and slipped into the spatial dimension.

She hadn't paid attention to what was going on inside the space when she escaped. Only when she came in did she realize that Ling Silang had found a bed for the Emperor, and the Emperor was already lying on the bed.

"How is the Emperor?"

“I gave him the medicine, but… the medicine needs to be adjusted again. Those people gave the Emperor the medicine.”

"After I went in, I gave the medicine you brewed to the Emperor. It's possible that they didn't feed it to him."

Ling Silang shook his head. "No, the Emperor shouldn't have made it to today, or even to you to give him the medicine. It was those people who gave him strong medicine, which prolonged the Emperor's life, but also caused him to fall into a coma."

Du Mingxian thought of the words "vegetative state".

"That's why the medicine you gave him wasn't very effective. His Majesty's condition is even worse than before. I need to take care of him for the next few days."

"If there's any hope, that's good. If not, we can use some spiritual water?"

"Yes, we need to use spiritual water. Bring the person out; they can't die in our hands."

Du Mingxian gave an awkward laugh, "Seeing the situation at the time, I blurted out those words in a moment of impulse. Who knew the Crown Prince would agree? I... it's too late to regret it now."

"The Crown Prince probably had no choice. With the Emperor gone, he feels less constrained."

"Never mind, the Emperor is alright, let's just focus on saving him."

Du Mingxian didn't want to think about anything else now, only that the Emperor was well. That way, even if she hadn't done anything, she wouldn't have made any mistakes.

Ling Silang administered acupuncture and prepared medicine for the Emperor.

Du Mingxian hadn't slept for dozens of hours, but she wasn't sleepy at all. "What do we do now? The Emperor can't stay in the space forever. Can't we release him?"

Keeping it at home is too... dangerous, like a ticking time bomb.

"The Emperor won't wake up for the time being. He should be fine in the space. We can release him after this storm has passed. The Emperor has disappeared for no reason, and those people will definitely search for him."

Du Mingxian naturally knew that this was a very serious matter. "Hey, I think we should build a house in this space. That way, if we bring people in and put them in the house, I won't be too worried."

"Sure, we can find someone skilled to build a bamboo house, and you can just move in. I'll build a courtyard wall then, a high one, so that if we don't want anyone in the courtyard to leave, we can just lock the door."

Ling Silang thought for a moment and then said, "When the time comes, we'll plant some trees, bamboo, or fruit trees around it, and no one will be able to spy on us."
