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

Her vision blurred, and she eventually collapsed to the ground, losing consciousness.

The Emperor was still concerned about Du Mingxian's injuries. Since Prince Rong hadn't understood his intentions earlier, the Emperor was unwilling to entrust the matter to him.

There were still many things to do, but the Emperor was still a little worried, so he directly summoned Minister Wen to his side, "My dear minister, did you see Mingxian just now?"

"I saw it." Lord Wen was quite worried. Ling Silang and the Crown Prince were both at home. Later, when the Emperor learned of the situation, he also sent someone to contact the imperial physician for treatment.

As the Minister of War, he had no choice but to come out, so he did, and he doesn't know how things are at home.

Now even Mingxian is injured, and it looks like she's seriously hurt. All the commotion tonight was caused by Mingxian.

Making her do these things in her most furious moment also cleared some obstacles for the emperor.

"Go out of the palace now and look for her. I saw that she was badly injured, but when I turned around, she was gone. I don't know where she went."

"Yes." Lord Wen received the order and hurried out of the palace to search.

They went to the Ling family first, but the Ling family knew nothing about it. All they knew was that the capital was not peaceful tonight, and there were loud noises everywhere.

Lord Wen's heart skipped a beat. He immediately told Chunfeng and the others about it, asking them to go out and find Du Mingxian, and he hurried back to the Wen residence.

With Ling Silang at home, Du Mingxian will definitely worry about him and will go to see him.

There was no movement at the residence; only Ling Silang, the Crown Prince, and the people sent by the Emperor remained.

Lord Wen ordered his steward to lead a search party and also sent people to look for Wen Yibin.

A few days ago, he was allowed to move around in the capital, but then the case happened, and Wen Yibin has rarely been at home since, often going out. Even with such a big event today, he didn't show up.

Daylight broke quickly. There was a lot of blood in the palace, but not many corpses. This was after the emperor returned to the palace and fought to stop the Tavas.

Du Mingxian and her group were mainly focused on opening the palace gates and did not injure too many people.

The palace was under the Emperor's control. The Empress and all the concubines were rescued, as were the remaining princes.

However, the third prince's birth mother was imprisoned alone.

The emperor ordered his men to search, and they eventually found the former palace guards in an abandoned palace. They had all been drugged, had their hands and feet severed, and were not given food or water.

These people are all on the verge of death; if the Emperor doesn't return, they are sure to die.

The fact that they've survived until now is thanks to a palace maid who noticed something was wrong and secretly brought them food and water. But one person's strength is not enough to support so many people, so it could only prolong the time before they starve to death.

When the Emperor returned to the palace, he was ruthless and decisive. He had an affair with the Third Prince, and anyone who got close to him was imprisoned.

Anyone who colludes with the Ghaba people shall be executed.

The blood was still fresh at the execution site, and passersby could feel the eeriness as they walked by. The bodies in the mass graves were piled up like mountains.

For ten days in a row, the Emperor was dealing with these matters, but he was also concerned about another matter: Du Mingxian had disappeared.

Ling Silang woke up the day after the Emperor returned to the palace. No one dared to tell him that Du Mingxian was missing; they only said that Du Mingxian was busy.

Ling Silang woke up; the Crown Prince had been rescued and woken up on the fifth day.

The Crown Prince's residence had been destroyed; so many people had died inside that it was completely uninhabitable. The Crown Prince was brought into the Eastern Palace, and the Emperor publicly abdicated the throne. The Crown Prince ascended the throne, and the Imperial Observatory was ordered to select an auspicious day for the enthronement ceremony.

The Third Prince colluded with the Tatars; all his crimes are unforgivable, and he shall be executed.

The Third Prince, whose mother failed to properly raise her child and harbored inappropriate thoughts, should be executed.

The maternal clan of the Third Prince's birth mother was supporting him from behind the scenes; they should be executed.

The people of the capital were in a state of panic. The palace was so safe, yet someone still dared to cause trouble and even knocked the emperor unconscious. That was too arrogant.

With so many deaths, many official positions became vacant, and some capable palace officials held two positions to keep things running.

The Ling family's world has collapsed.

On the tenth day after Du Mingxian disappeared, Ling Silang sensed something was wrong. He tried to leave the Wen residence but was stopped by the servants. He lost his temper, and in the end, Lord Wen had no choice but to tell the truth.

Du Mingxian... has disappeared.

After that day, no one came again.

The emperor also ordered people to search for him, but they have not been able to find him.

Ling Silang only asked for some details before requesting to go home. Lord Wen sent someone to escort him back.

It was on the day Ling Silang returned home that the Ling family learned that Du Mingxian had been missing for a long time; she had disappeared after a loud noise that night.

Chunfeng and the others haven't dared to return to the Ling family recently. They've been searching for someone outside, but the capital city... has been turned upside down by the imperial court, and they still haven't found anyone.

When Ling Silang returned home, his father and mother looked at him with heartache.

"Don't worry about Mingxian. We'll look for her together. We'll definitely find her. She's a kind-hearted girl, and kind people are blessed." This was all Ling's mother could say for now.

Ling Silang nodded gently, forcing a smile, "Father, Mother, don't worry, I'm fine."

Little Zhou was about to say something when Ling Erlang covered her mouth and forcibly pulled her into the house.

Mrs. Zhou pushed him away, "What are you doing? Why are you doing this?"

"Don't ask him now. He's more worried than anyone else about Mingxian's disappearance. Asking him won't help. The imperial court is also sending people to search for her. All we can do is take care of our family and An'an so they have no worries."

Mrs. Zhou was very anxious. "But I heard them say that Mingxian was seriously injured before she disappeared. She was so badly injured, is she really alright?"

Ling Erlang wasn't sure either, "I believe she's alright."

"That's good. I believe she's alright. I'll take good care of An'an for her. With An'an here, with us here, she'll definitely come back. The fact that she hasn't come back yet means something must have delayed her."

"Correct."

The two brainwashed each other.

Ling Silang was urged by his mother to go inside and rest in the courtyard.

Back in his room, Ling Shilang looked at the familiar surroundings, feeling empty inside.

Ever since he recovered from his illness and left home, things have never stopped happening. It seems like the two of them have never had a proper time together.

He called Chen Ming and asked him to find Chunfeng and the others to come back, as he had some questions for them.

Chen Ming went to inquire, and Xia Yu returned before an hour had passed.

Ling Silang asked some questions, just as Du Mingxian had told him before. He focused on what happened that night, and Xia Yu told him the truth.

That night, such a big commotion occurred at the Crown Prince's residence, and they were all worried. However, given the chaos, they dared not go out, fearing that someone might harm the Ling family.

With both the master and mistress away, all they can do is take care of the household. If something happens to the family while they are away, how will they explain it when the mistress and master return?

Ling Silang inquired in detail about the sounds from that night. An idea popped into his head, and he staggered out the door, heading straight for the Crown Prince's residence.

Seeing Ling Silang's condition, Xia Yu and Chen Ming were very worried and hurriedly ran forward. They stopped Ling Silang at the entrance of the Crown Prince's residence.

A major incident occurred at the Crown Prince's residence, which is now desolate. In addition, a large number of Dharani people had lived there before, so the Emperor ordered the Crown Prince's residence to be sealed off.
