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

When Ling Silang heard Lord Wen mention the bright, daylight-like object, he knew it was a flashlight. She had told him about it, and he had seen it before, so... Lord Wen was truly thinking of her.

He hesitated only slightly before handing the things in his hands to Lord Wen. He was also a little tired, but he still forced himself to persevere.

Lord Wen didn't have the strength of Ling Silang, so he ran out to ask the guard at the gate for a dagger. He came back and asked Ling Silang to tell him how to dig up the corpses. Some of them were found in the ashes. They were already charred, but you could still tell that they were different.

Some were dug out of corpses.

The two men, one digging and the other directing, one a patient and the other not very old but not exactly a young man either, relied entirely on their willpower to finish the search.

After searching for everything, Ling Silang finally breathed a sigh of relief, his vision blurring.

Lord Wen is not much better off than him, but Ling Silang is injured and still cannot compare to him.

Lord Wen stepped forward to support him, "Are you alright?"

"It's okay."

The basket was quite big, but it also contained a lot of things, and... it was heavy, quite heavy.

Finally, two people carried her out. When they reached the door, Ling Silang took off his coat, wrapped it around the basket, and said to Lord Wen, "This is the last place she was seen. I suspect she may have been taken away by the Tavas."

"Recently, the city has been under strict control. Whether she leaves or enters the city, even if she is taken away by the Tapa people, she cannot leave the city. I will inform the Emperor of this situation."

Lord Wen was genuinely worried about him. “Don’t do anything strenuous after you get home. Rest well and take care of your injury. That’s the most important thing for you. She’ll be angry if she finds out you haven’t taken good care of yourself.”

"Ah."

Upon reaching the gate, the guard saw two people emerge, carrying baskets covered with clothes, clearly containing something illicit.

However, he did not stop him. The Emperor had given orders beforehand, and it was not his place to interfere with what Lord Ling took away.

Xia Yu had already parked the carriage. Ling Silang and Lord Wen got into the carriage together. They would first send Lord Wen back, and then go home.

After arriving home, Xia Yu carried the basket to Ling Silang's room.

Ling's parents were very worried. Their son was already seriously injured, and he hadn't returned all afternoon. Anyone would be worried.

"What medicine do you need? Will your injuries affect your health if you go out? Can you ask your second brother to call a doctor?" Ling's mother asked.

Ling Silang refused, "No need, I'll write a prescription myself in a bit and have Chen Ming get the medicine."

“If anything happens, just tell your family. It’s not like there’s nothing we can’t do.”

"Ok, I know."

Everyone was worried about Du Mingxian's situation. At this moment, Du Mingxian... was indeed in the hands of the Tapa people.

The city was strictly controlled. After the defeat, the Tatars wanted to escape, but the emperor had already ordered the city gates closed. They had no way to get out. They did consider trying to force their way out, but no matter how powerful they were, the Shun dynasty had a large number of people to suppress them, so they could only flee.

The Tathagatas also had some clandestine businesses in the capital, with all of them operating in small, scattered locations.

Even so, after round after round of purges by the emperor, not many remain. Those who survived are all well-hidden.

They no longer have the idea of ​​taking over Da Shun City and making the Da Shun people their slaves; they only think about escaping. As long as they can escape the capital alive, they will never come back and will live obediently in the territory of the Tapo.

The woman who took Du Mingxian away was also a harlot, except... she was a lecherous harlot.

He had no woman, and he was ugly in the village. The reason he came to Da Shun was that he wanted to bring a beautiful woman back with him so that his family and others would envy him.

But I'm... a total coward.

When the Dharva fled, he also fled, but thinking that he couldn't do anything without money when he returned, he was tempted to do something evil and ran back to steal money.

Having stolen some silver, he passed by and saw flames shooting into the sky, so he ran over to see what was happening.

What I saw was... Du Mingxian lying on the ground, and the corpses piled up together, with flames shooting into the sky.

This man thought Du Mingxian was also a corpse. Seeing a bracelet on her wrist, and thinking it would be foolish not to take what was valuable, he ran over and grabbed the bracelet. But... he touched a corpse that was warm.

A beautiful woman, injured and lying next to a burning corpse, was thrown out by someone who thought the person throwing the body away had used too much force.

Such a beautiful person must be a maid in the Crown Prince's residence.

There were women, and it was still hot.

He immediately acted impulsively, picked up Du Mingxian, and ran.

Du Mingxian was quite close to the corpse at the time; if he hadn't carried it away, she probably would have been burned to death as well.

He went out without anyone knowing, only to find that the city was already teeming with people from Da Shun. It would be too difficult for a Tapo woman like him to escape. After thinking it over, he quietly went to the Sun residence.

The Sun family mansion where Sun Xiangxiang married into the family, the Sun family mansion where Wu Daniu married into the family.

Sun Xiangxiang secretly works for the Third Prince, but she hides it very well. Sun Xiangxiang also has a bad reputation, with a constant stream of men around her. She also donates some money to the court from time to time when the court needs it.

During this purge of the Third Prince, Sun Xiangxiang used money to bribe officials and seduce some of them, so she was not affected.

However... Sun Xiangxiang is quite bold.

She likes men and enjoys life.

She also liked the man who was a harlot.

Several desperate men offered themselves to Sun Xiangxiang, who protected them and gave them identities, so that the soldiers found nothing when they came to search.

The man who took Du Mingxian away was Sun Xiangxiang's lover. He performed well and worked hard in bed, so Sun Xiangxiang liked him quite a bit.

His name is Niu Bao.

Niu Bao is cowardly and cunning.

After bringing Du Mingxian to the Sun residence, he announced to the public that she was his concubine and even asked Sun Xiangxiang to help him invite a doctor.

To prevent Du Mingxian from escaping, Niu Bao bought muscle-relaxing powder and kept administering it. Du Mingxian's injuries were already severe, and the additional medication from Niu Bao left her with no strength to even lift her arm.

Du Mingxian was unconscious for six days before waking up. When she woke up, there was only an old woman in the room, who was specially asked for by Niu Bao from Sun Xiangxiang.

Considering that she liked Niu Bao to serve her in bed, and that it wasn't right to spend all her time on a concubine, Sun Xiangxiang sent someone to serve her.

That old woman is no good person.

She was born into a bad family and was sold by her own father to be a child bride when she was five years old. The man was already thirty years old. If you calculate the age, by the time she grows up, the man will be forty years old. He'll be old.

So... when the old woman was ten years old, the man slipped in the rain. He fell hard, but he recovered after a few days of rest.

The ten-year-old child went to the mountains to find herbs that could kill people while the man was recuperating. He brought them back and boiled them together with the medicine. After boiling, he even knew to pick out the herbs from the dregs.
