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

Du Mingxian suspected that Granny Wang had forced women into prostitution in the past, but she had no evidence.

Du Mingxian spent a few days gossiping every day. She became closer to Granny Wang, but she still couldn't stop Granny Wang from feeding her muscle-relaxing powder. Every time, she would secretly transfer the medicine to her spatial storage.

Even so, nothing could stop her from wanting to be active every day.

The end result is an infinite loop.

As soon as she could move her hands, it was time to give her the medicine. Even though she moved the medicine to her spatial dimension, it didn't get into her mouth. The medicine seemed to be very potent; it had a strong effect as soon as it touched her.

Judging by the time, she has been missing for twenty days. She wonders how Ling Silang is doing. His injuries should be almost healed.

Ling Silang's injuries were indeed almost healed. In order to find Du Mingxian, he did not rest for long and went straight to work today. He was summoned to the Emperor shortly after arriving at the Hanlin Academy.

The Crown Prince's injuries were more severe than Ling Silang's, but Ling Silang treated the Crown Prince quite quickly, and now the Crown Prince is able to handle some affairs, but he cannot overexert himself.

When Ling Silang arrived, both the Crown Prince and the Emperor were present.

"Your humble servant greets Your Majesty, long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!" "Your Highness the Crown Prince, long live the Crown Prince!"

The Crown Prince's teeth ached from listening to this. When he ascended the throne, he would exempt Ling Silang from kneeling. He didn't mind others kneeling, but seeing Ling Silang like this made him feel troubled.

"Minister Ling, you're still not fully recovered, are you? Someone, bring a seat."

Soon a young eunuch brought up a stool, and Ling Silang was about to kneel down again when the Emperor spoke first, "Alright, sit down quickly."

Ling Silang got up and sat down.

The Emperor noticed that his face was still pale, his complexion was haggard, and he seemed to lack energy and spirit.

"I have also sent people to look for Mingxian, but they have not found her yet. However, she is definitely still in the capital. It must have been the Tavas who took her away."

Ling Silang's deduction is the same now; he also suspects that the Tavas took Du Mingxian away. "Yes, Your Majesty, I also suspect that they took her away."

Speaking of this, his body trembled uncontrollably; only he knew the fear and dread he felt inside.

Du Mingxian killed so many Tapo people and stood up to ruin their plans. The Tapo people probably hate her to the bone. If she falls into their hands, how can she possibly have a good outcome?

Whenever he thinks of this, he feels so heartbroken that he can't breathe; it's incredibly painful.

The Emperor and the Crown Prince were naturally aware of this matter. If Du Mingxian hadn't stood up for them, they probably wouldn't have survived, let alone regain their power.

The more this happened, the more distressed they became. They knew that Du Mingxian was now in the hands of the Tapo people and would certainly not fare well, but they had no other choice.

The Crown Prince understood Ling Silang better than the Emperor. He asked, "Zi Mo, do you have any ideas? As long as Ming Xian can be rescued, you can just say so."

After a moment's hesitation, Ling Silang slowly stood up. "Your Majesty, Your Highness, this humble subject..."

The Emperor was also annoyed by this. "Alright, sit down and talk. Mingxian helped me this time, and when we were outside, she always called me 'Father.' It's just that she hasn't come back yet. If she does, I plan to recognize her as my goddaughter."

Ling Silang's expression was numb and he didn't react. What was the use of saying these words now? The person hadn't returned, so saying anything was superfluous.

If Du Mingxian returns and the Emperor says this, he will be very happy. He will be very happy that she can have the status of a princess. With power, no one will dare to bully her.

Moreover, all of this was earned through her own hard work.

But she hasn't come back, and no one knows what kind of life she's living now. Maybe she's locked up, maybe she's...

Ling Silang was genuinely worried, but he also knew that Du Mingxian was probably not in any danger. She must have been trapped. She had a spatial dimension, so if anything happened, she could simply go into it to hide and come out whenever she had the chance.

She's injured, but there's medicine in the room, so there's no need to worry.

He initially thought so, but so many days have passed... and there's still no news of her, her fate unknown. He's becoming increasingly doubtful of his own guesses.

He suspected that her condition was not good.

Seeing that Ling Silang didn't react much, the Crown Prince and the Emperor knew that he genuinely liked Du Mingxian and hoped that she could return safely.

"Tell me what you can do? Tell me sooner rather than later, and if it's feasible, we can rescue the person sooner."

“The Dharvas have humiliated us so much and have no regard for our Great Shun. My thought is to... crush the Dharvas and make them disappear from the world.”

Ling Silang's words were somewhat treasonous, and such a matter should not be brought up by a minor official like himself. However, he was filled with hatred, and since he had saved the Crown Prince, no one would do anything if he spoke out.

At this moment, besides the few eunuchs who remained in the palace, there were only the Emperor, the Crown Prince, and Ling Silang.

Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince glanced around instinctively. The Emperor understood and waved his hand, "You may all leave."

The palace servants left, and Ling Silang remained silent. The Crown Prince, however, said with some difficulty, "We have also had such thoughts, but given the current situation, it is impractical."

"You know, the national treasury has been robbed, and there's nothing in it now. The war needs money to support it, and without money, nothing can be done."

"Even though some people's homes have been raided recently, the money seized... is not enough to support a war."

The emperor shared the same thought. Who wouldn't want to kill their enemy? But the current situation didn't allow it, and they had no way to do so. They could only keep this grudge in mind for now.

Ling Silang shared the same thought: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, this incident has already made us a laughingstock to everyone. If we don't do something, who will respect us in the future?"

"Is it possible to stir up trouble by simply planting some people in and joining forces with some delusional individuals from the Great Shun Dynasty?"

"It was our mistake once. If it happens a second or third time, who will be afraid of us? Wouldn't our Great Shun become a place that everyone can bully?"

Who doesn't know this principle?

But we don't have that strength right now.

The Emperor, however, stared intently at Ling Silang and asked, "Do you have any good ideas? If you can tell me, please do."

"Your Majesty, I have a preliminary idea."

"You said."

"Borrow money, then make the call."

Money isn't a big problem. We don't know where Du Mingxian is right now. As long as she's alive and comes back, the money issue can be resolved quickly, and taking down the old woman will be too easy.

"Borrow money?"

Ling Silang thought for a moment and said, "Da Shun is quite wealthy. If we get them to contribute some money and make some promises, that would be one way. Another way is to borrow it and then pay it back."

"Repay? How can we repay it? We don't even know where all that silver in the national treasury went." The Crown Prince rejected the idea.

The Great Shun Dynasty is wealthy, and if it were to directly wage war against the Dharva, it could still prepare accordingly. However, with the national treasury depleted, borrowing money, making promises, borrowing money, and then repaying it are all unwise.

"The national treasury vanished into thin air, and those people from the Dharma Temple didn't take anything. How could so many things disappear overnight? There must be a powerful person protecting them. Maybe one day, all the things that suddenly disappeared will come back?"

"In my humble opinion, we must vent our anger this time, and at least not let anyone see that we are cowards."
