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

"Hmm." In his current condition, Ling Silang could only respond with this one sentence; if he said another word, he would vomit.

Watching Du Mingxian leave, Ling Silang was a little worried. He actually wanted to say... please be careful, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.

When Du Mingxian entered the palace this time... she didn't see any light in the hall, so she became alert and quietly went forward to investigate. She found that there was no one in the hall, so she went in to check carefully and found that there was indeed no one in the hall.

She began to panic.

If she got angry and stole from the national treasury last night, what would happen if those people retaliated against the Crown Prince?

For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

Last night, out of anger, she took a tranquilizer gun, knocked down all the guards, removed the needles one by one, went in, and openly stole from the national treasury before leaving. It didn't take her long at all.

However, to frighten these people, she directly issued an important order: these guards would not wake up until tomorrow, not today.

But where is she supposed to find the Crown Prince now?

She left quietly and began to wander throughout the palace.

In the Empress's palace, some of the lower-ranking concubines share a room, and over the past few days, there have been frictions and arguments between them.

Those in high positions all have their own rooms. The Empress still lives in her original bedroom, but apart from the inner chamber, the outer chamber has been occupied by several palace maids and eunuchs.

These concubines were locked up together, and they also brought some of their trusted servants with them. The concubines already had enough people, and if they brought in more people, even if the Empress's palace was large, it would be impossible to accommodate everyone.

So... those who served the empresses were allowed to sleep on a makeshift bed on the floor inside the room, while others had to sleep outside, in the corridor, or in the courtyard.

Du Mingxian overheard an argument in the Empress's palace while she was wandering around. She quietly went up to the roof and saw what was going on inside. These ladies were really going to suffer this time.

There were too many people, so she didn't dare to show herself. If someone saw her and she shouted, she wouldn't be able to escape.

She went to the East Palace. The other princes were asleep. The fourth prince was reading a book, and the third prince was practicing calligraphy.

The Crown Prince was still nowhere to be seen.

She went to the palace where the old man had stayed that day... but still didn't find the crown prince.

This was very strange. She searched and searched, wandering around all night, but still couldn't find the Crown Prince. She was getting anxious. With no one to talk to, she left the palace and went to the prison.

After Du Mingxian left, Ling Silang couldn't hold it in and finally vomited. Only after vomiting did he feel a little better.

The guards were specially arranged by Wen Yibin, also to take care of Ling Silang.

After Ling Silang vomited, someone cleaned up the mess, someone brought him hot water, and someone else secretly went to fetch a doctor.

So when Du Mingxian arrived, Ling Silang, who had just finished his ordeal, had a strange expression as he was held down and made to have the doctor take his pulse.

She went in and was surprised to see what was going on. "What...what's going on here?"

"Lord Ling is unwell and is particularly reluctant to see a doctor. We had no choice but to sit him on the bed so that the doctor could examine him properly," said the guard A.

The second guard added, "That's right, that's right, after you left, Lord Ling vomited quite a lot..."

Before he could finish the last two words, Ling Silang interrupted, "Thank you, I feel fine now. Let me go, I'll have the doctor take my pulse."

The two exchanged a glance and released their hands. Finding that Ling Silang was indeed not moving, they then asked the doctor, "How is he? Could it be some kind of acute illness?"

"The person is fine. As for the vomiting you mentioned, it's possible that the person ate too much, and it's good that they vomited."

Ling Silang felt like he could die; the scene was too embarrassing. The doctor had said what he hadn't told the guards to say earlier.

The doctor also advised, "Eat something tomorrow..." Looking at the cell, the doctor changed his words, "You still need to be careful."

"Okay, thank you."

The doctor was sent away, and the jailer left too. Du Mingxian stepped into the cell and smelled the lingering odor in the air, and her heart ached immediately.

She stepped forward and punched him in the chest. "If you don't want to eat, then don't. Why force yourself to eat?"

Ling Silang felt awkward. He reached out and took her hand, placing it on his chest. He looked down at her tenderly and said, "I didn't want to disappoint you, but my body is too weak."

"Don't talk nonsense. Did you eat during the day?"

"Yes, Lord Wen arranged for people to take care of me, and they took very good care of me and gave me plenty of food."

Du Mingxian smiled sheepishly, "I was just thinking that you'd be in jail and there wouldn't be any good food there, so I forgot about my uncle. I should have known better than to bring anything over."

"You know, even if I brought it, I could put it away if you didn't eat it. Why did you force yourself to eat until you threw up? You..."

She was angry, heartbroken, and ultimately moved.

How could a cunning and ruthless man be so stupid in front of her? Has his intelligence been completely overwhelmed by love?

"I still don't want to let you down."

"You can't do that next time. You'll hurt yourself if you do that, and it will break my heart."

Ling Silang nodded solemnly, "Okay, it won't happen again. I'll just tell you directly if anything comes up."

"That's more like it. You mean... all those sufferings you endured for nothing?"

"I didn't expect them to take it so seriously. Even though everyone was unable to move, they still called a doctor to come and take my pulse."

"Uncle meant well, we'll thank him properly later."

Ling Silang agreed. Although he was in prison, the news from the outside world indicated that the treatment inside the prison was very good.

Thinking of the news outside, he asked in a low voice, "About the theft from the national treasury last night..."

Du Mingxian nodded almost inaudibly. Ling Silang didn't know what to say, and could only mutter, "Thank goodness you're alright."

"Of course I'm fine. This time I shot the guard down and went in openly and honestly. If they dare to lock you up, they'll have to face my revenge."

Ling Silang pulled the person into his arms, his eyes filled with heartache. "Don't do this again."

Du Mingxian looked up. "Yesterday was impulsive, but thinking about it today, I feel like I did a good thing. It's better for me than for those people to use it."

"Once we win, I will put these things into the national treasury, so there is no need to worry at all."

Ling Silang chuckled, "Alright, alright, you're right, you're really smart."

"Of course, you know that Father went to our house in the afternoon..." Du Mingxian vividly recounted the story of Lord Wen's visit to their house.

He suddenly slapped his forehead.

She left the palace to discuss something with Ling Silang, but ended up seeing another doctor taking Ling Silang's pulse in prison.

And because of the matter of the national treasury, while they were chatting, she forgot about the Crown Prince's disappearance.

Sure enough, in her heart, the Crown Prince's disappearance was not as important as Ling Silang eating.

People are naturally biased.

Ling Silang held her hand tenderly, a hint of reproach in his eyes, "Why are you taking pictures of yourself?"

"The Crown Prince has gone missing, and I haven't been able to find him, so I came to ask you about it and wanted to have a chat with you."
