Imperial Physician Lin checked the source of the poison. The dragon robe that Emperor Ling Hui had taken off quickly revealed the poison in the golden threads.
It was fine to have short-term contact with this poison. After a long time, it would slowly invade the human body’s internal organs.
Apart from Emperor Ling Hui, who would dare to touch the dragon robe?
Everyone was fine, so how could they realize that the dragon robe had been poisoned?
Emperor Ling Hui’s face darkened. He ordered someone to burn the dragon robe before asking, “How long can I live?”
Imperial Physician Lin did not expect Emperor Ling Hui to ask such a question. He trembled and did not dare to answer. Emperor Ling Hui glared at him and immediately said, “Your Majesty, about three months, but I will definitely do my best to develop an antidote.”
When Imperial Physician Lin said this, he was already determined to die. Unexpectedly, Emperor Ling Hui did not punish him. Instead, he said, “If we find Divine Doctor Gu, he should be able to concoct an antidote, right?”
He remembered that Qu Yuanxian’s Madam had said that Gu Zhongxun and his disciple were going to the southern frontier.
Imperial Physician Lin’s eyes lit up and he said excitedly, “Divine Doctor Gu’s medical skills are brilliant. Perhaps there’s a way!” If he could find Divine Doctor Gu, he would also want to learn from Gu Zhongxun.
Emperor Ling Hui suddenly quietened down. After looking out of the window for a moment, he suddenly made a decision.
There were only three months left. It would take three months to reach the southern frontier. He could not wait for Qu Yuanxian to return.
He had to set off now.
Emperor Ling Hui looked at Imperial Physician Lin. “Don’t tell anyone about what happened today! Pack your things and set off with me immediately.” Imperial Physician Lin was stunned. Set off?
Could it be that he was going to look for Divine Doctor Gu?
Imperial Physician Lin’s eyes immediately lit up as he nodded crazily.
He went to pack his things, and Emperor Ling Hui ordered someone to find Prime Minister Yu.
When Prime Minister Yu saw Emperor Ling Hui’s expression, he was shocked. “Your Majesty, what’s wrong?”
Emperor Ling Hui did not explain much. “I’m going to bring my son and wife back. For any important matter in the court, send an urgent message to me in southern frontier.”
Prime Minister Yu’s eyes widened in shock. “The emperor is going to the southern frontier?”
His guess was right. Chu Tianbao was in the southern frontier.
Emperor Ling Hui nodded. “If I don’t come back, Nine Heavens will send my will back.”
Prime Minister Yu understood Emperor Ling Hui’s intentions and nodded in agreement with red eyes.
Commander Zhang quickly prepared the carriage.
Emperor Ling Hui was carried into a carriage and drove out of the capital overnight.
After driving for about half a month, they encountered Qu Yuanxian’s team returning to the capital.
When the team was stopped, Zeng Sanshui looked displeased.
When he saw Nine Heavens and Commander Zhang, Zeng Sanshui’s expression immediately changed drastically. Could it be that Emperor Ling Hui had personally arrived?
When he entered the carriage and saw the “Master” clearly, he immediately knelt down and paid his respects. “Long live the emperor!”
Emperor Ling Hui’s dark purple expression shocked him even more.
Emperor Ling Hui asked him to get up and asked, “Did you see the Crown Prince and the Empress?”
Zeng Sanshui was stunned for a moment. What Crown Prince and Empress?
There was only Chu Tianbao and Noble Consort Ling!
In the blink of an eye, he understood and hurriedly said, “The Crown Prince and the Empress are fine. Don’t worry, Your Majesty.”
Emperor Ling Hui smiled. He did not want to be a dignified emperor at all. He was like a husband who doted on his wife and child. “Where are my grandchildren?”
“The little prince and the little princess are both very smart and well-liked by everyone.”
He only took a look from afar and could not approach at all.
In the end, Emperor Ling Hui stood up and asked Zhao Yunning, “Where’s the Carefree Kingdom’s Great Empress?”
Zeng Sanshui thought for a moment. This must be because the father-in-law wanted to ask if his daughter-in-law was virtuous and if she had given Chu Tianbao a hard time. He hurriedly said, “The Carefree Kingdom’s Great Empress and our crown prince are especially in love. They are inseparable wherever they go.”
Emperor Ling Hui imagined it and frowned slightly.. Why did he feel that his son was like a bodyguard?
