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

He knew that she was willing to believe in medicine, but... he really felt sorry for her and couldn't bear to see her suffer even the slightest grievance.

Du Mingxian wanted to laugh, but she was afraid that Ling Silang would lose face, so she could only hold it in. "Alright, I'm not that upset. After we trick them into coming over, we can also see if Lord Wen is followed by anyone. If there really is someone following us, someone will definitely be investigating our situation. We have to make this play a complete success."

"And what we're doing is very dangerous... we might accidentally expose the Emperor."

Ling Silang naturally knew, "Don't worry, only a few people in the family know the Emperor's identity. They know their limits and won't say anything. I've also explained to the Emperor that we need to lure Lord Wen here without letting anyone find out."

"Okay, don't worry, you have a performance to do later."

"it is good."

Lord Wen arrived in a hurry with the imperial physician. After the physician took Du Mingxian's pulse, Lord Wen was even more anxious than Ling Silang, "How is she?"

"My lord, it is my medical knowledge that is insufficient. Let's wait for the imperial physician to come and take a look at her pulse." The imperial physician felt that Du Mingxian's pulse was beyond saving, but he dared not say so.

Lord Wen looked dejected. "Alright, you can go now."

"Yes."

After the physician left, Lord Wen looked at Du Mingxian, who was lying in bed in pain, then at Ling Silang, and finally went directly to Ling Silang's side and pulled him outside. "Tell me honestly, how did she suddenly get such a serious illness?"

"I...I don't know either. Everything was fine at dinner tonight."

The rest of the Ling family also found out about this, but Ling Silang explained to them that he would find a way to make the family members appear anxious, and they didn't need to worry about anything else.

Since arriving in the capital, the Ling family felt that Du Mingxian and her husband were becoming increasingly mysterious in their actions, and they were no longer stubborn, agreeing with whatever Ling Silang said.

He only showed appropriate nervousness in the yard and did nothing else.

"Something must have happened to cause this person to fall ill. Either there was something wrong with their food, or there was something wrong with it. Have the servants prepare the food for tonight, and have the imperial physician come and examine them properly later."

"Okay." Ling Silang didn't dare to say anything more, for fear of displeasing Lord Wen. He could only agree for now and discuss the rest later.

Lord Wen rolled his eyes at Ling Silang, "A perfectly healthy person, suddenly turned into this, you're useless too." After saying that, he went into the room.

Standing two steps away from Ling Silang, Ling Erlang found it incredibly amusing to hear the disdain in Lord Wen's words. He wanted to laugh but could only hold it in. Little Zhou Shi was also tightly gripping Ling Erlang's arm, afraid that he would burst out laughing.

Ling Silang glanced at his family members and said, "You don't need to worry. Go back to your rooms first. The imperial physician will be here soon."

Ling Erlang and his wife couldn't hold it in any longer, so they quickly went back to their room. Then they laughed silently, afraid to make a sound lest others hear what was going on.

The person who went to fetch the imperial physician acted quickly. After the physician came and took Du Mingxian's pulse, he spoke very subtly, which made Lord Wen a little anxious.

"Just say what you have to say, don't beat around the bush."

"Lord Wen, this illness... is beyond our ability to cure."

The doctors who came were the vice president of the Imperial Medical Academy and two others with excellent medical skills. All three of them said there was nothing they could do, which showed that there really was nothing they could do.

Even Lord Wen couldn't believe it. A perfectly healthy person suddenly became incapacitated. It was too unbelievable.

Ling Silang remained relatively calm. Since the whole thing was a hoax, he turned to the imperial physicians and said, "Thank you for your help tonight."

"Lord Ling, please accept our condolences." After saying this, the imperial physicians left.

When only the three of them remained in the room, Du Mingxian couldn't bear to lie to Master Wen any longer. She quickly stuffed the antidote into her mouth and said, "Father, I'm fine." She even tried to sit up.

Lord Wen hurriedly stepped forward and pressed her shoulders, "Don't sit up, you're still weak. Tell us what's wrong, is there anything else that hurts?"

"Father, I'm really fine. We pretended to be sick to... lure you here." This was the first time Du Mingxian had directly felt Lord Wen's affection for her.

She was deeply moved. Her father had a shallow connection with her; in her previous life, he never loved her. He loved her cousin more than she did.

Not to mention her past life, in her father's eyes, she was just a burden.

She was reborn into this life and met a father like Lord Wen, who loved her from the bottom of his heart.

Lord Wen stared blankly as Du Mingxian got up from the bed and even turned around in front of him. Ling Silang added, "The medicine I gave her was prescribed by me. Those symptoms were just mild. We were just trying to trick you into coming here."

Lord Wen asked in disbelief, "Is it really just a lie?"

"Yes, Father, I'm sorry, we had no choice."

When Lord Wen saw that Du Mingxian was alright, the worry he had been feeling gradually subsided. He remarked that even though Du Mingxian was seriously ill, the young man from the Ling family seemed quite unwell.

It turns out everything was fake.

"Okay, okay, as long as you're alright."

"Father doesn't blame us for lying to you?"

"Since you did this, you must have your own reasons. Even if you're lying to me, I just hope you're alright."

Du Mingxian was truly moved. Ling Silang stepped forward to explain, "My lord, we... took the Emperor out of the palace earlier."

"what do you mean?"

Du Mingxian stepped forward, took Lord Wen's arm, and pulled him to sit down at the table. "Father, listen to us first. After I finished telling you that night, I secretly sneaked into the palace and found out... those people were using the Emperor to blackmail the Crown Prince."

“I secretly met with the Crown Prince and told him that I wanted to take the Emperor out of the palace, and the Crown Prince agreed.”

"At that time, the emperor had no imperial physicians to treat him in the palace. He was practically a living dead lying on his dragon bed. It was only after I took him out of the palace that he had a glimmer of hope."

"Later, I tried every means to secretly take the person out of the palace. At that time, the person had not yet woken up, so we arranged for the person to stay outside. After two days of treatment, when the person was about to wake up, we took the person home."

"The reason I lied to you today is because the Emperor has woken up, but we found that he is in a bad mood. We... are not very familiar with the Emperor. Although he believes that we will not harm him, there are many things he is worried about with us."

"We are of low status and have little influence, so we thought about it and decided to... we decided to trick you into coming out and keeping the Emperor company."

Just as Lord Wen was about to speak, Du Mingxian hurriedly explained, "Father, the reason we did this is because we were afraid that someone was watching you. You are a high-ranking official in the court, and it would be too abrupt for you to come out and contact us alone. After thinking it over, we came up with this foolish idea."

"There's nothing I can do about it. I hope Father won't be angry."
