After the divorce, I wanted to give up, but the Prime Minister took me into his arms in the street

Chapter 201 Confusing

"What on earth is going on? Even the leader of the Royal Guards is missing?"

"How serious is the emperor's illness?"

"Master Prime Minister, you are the backbone in our eyes. Should we go in and find out what's going on?"

Voices like these came one after another, and everyone's eyes were once again focused on Fu Yansheng, full of expectation.

Ling's mother looked extremely anxious. She said uneasily, "Your eldest brother has been in there for so long and hasn't come out yet. Could there be any accident?"

Just as everyone was talking and looking worried, Ling Mohui slowly stood up, as if she wanted to take action.

Seeing this, Fu Yansheng also stood up and glanced at her, with an unquestionable firmness in his tone: "I'll go and take a look!"

Ling Mohui muttered to herself, did he think she wanted to follow him into the palace? In fact, she just wanted to satisfy her physiological needs.

However, Fu Yansheng obviously did not have the extra energy to figure out her thoughts. He turned around and walked firmly into the depths of the hall.

For Ling Mohui, it is a kind of comfort that Fu Yansheng and her brother can take care of each other.

In this tense and depressing atmosphere, one can't help but wonder: The emperor is ill, why are so many people gathered in the palace? Don't they feel suffocated? I thought Fu Yansheng's entry would be ignored, but he appeared soon.

Officials flocked to him like a tide, eagerly asking: "Sir, how is the emperor doing?"

Fu Yansheng shook his head, his face solemn, "It's hard to tell right now. Those who want to visit the emperor should come one after another, and think carefully before taking any action!"

Fu Yansheng's words were like dropping a bomb, making the already chaotic situation even more confusing.

The officials looked at each other, their confusion growing.

"What exactly does this mean?"

They tried to find the answer from Fu Yansheng's few words. Although everyone's understanding was different, most people smelled a hint of danger and began to weigh the pros and cons, trying to avoid being involved in this unknown storm.

Small officials below the fourth rank, who obey their superiors, naturally choose escape as the best strategy; but for those senior officials, it is not so easy to get away with it, and they eventually have to bite the bullet and prepare to face unknown challenges.

As soon as Fu Yansheng sat down, Ling Mohui, urged by Ling's mother and Jiang, came to his side tremblingly and asked: "How is my eldest brother now? What happened in there?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Yansheng frowned slightly, pulled Ling Mo back to a secluded corner, and said in a low voice: "The palace is in turmoil, your eldest brother has made his own choice, and his position is clear."

This sentence was like a thunderclap that shocked Ling Mohui's heart. She felt that the road ahead would be full of twists and turns.

"Hey? My big brother?"

Ling Mohui secretly glanced around and saw that no one was paying attention. She quickly pulled Fu Yansheng aside and asked in a low voice with a hint of disbelief, "Hasn't my eldest brother always firmly supported you? How could it be..."

A barely perceptible sadness flashed across Fu Yansheng's face: "You'd better ask him this question in person. At the critical moment, he stabbed me in the back and put me in such a passive situation."

His words revealed a hint of fatigue and helplessness.

Seeing this, Ling Mohui fell silent, feeling mixed emotions.

At this moment, an anxious voice sounded: "Your eldest brother is out!"

Hearing the voice, Ling Mohui let go of Fu Yansheng without hesitation and quickly pulled Ling Chuyun to a more secluded place nearby, as if avoiding the coming storm.

"Second sister!"

Ling Chuyun staggered a bit when he was pulled and couldn't help but let out a soft cry.

Ling Mohui frowned, her voice suppressed and anxious: "I heard that you made a big mess? What on earth were you thinking? This is a serious crime that is enough to cost you your life!"

Ling Chuyun's face was full of helplessness and bitterness: "I am also desperate. Deng Guiping used your identity as a threat, saying that if your identity as an orphan of the previous dynasty is exposed, your life will be in danger."

"What? You know about this too?"

Ling Mohui was shocked and a little indignant, thinking that Deng Guiping's words were really unreliable!

Ling Chuyun took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "In fact, I have known for a long time that you are not my mother's child, but over the years, I have already treated you and Yun'er as my own sisters in my heart."

After Ling Mo heard this, she felt deeply guilty: "Brother, I'm sorry. It's all my fault that I got you into trouble."

"I never expected that Deng Guiping would be the queen's confidant. So, what's the situation with Prince Chu?"

Ling Mohui asked again, as Prince Chu is the emperor's brother, the queen will definitely not let it go easily.

Ling Chuyun looked solemn: "Fu Yansheng used the court officials as bargaining chips and only agreed to let the queen temporarily take charge of government affairs, but did not agree to let the emperor abdicate directly. The emperor is currently unconscious. If there is no ruler in the country, Da Qi will surely fall into turmoil."

Therefore, delaying time became the only strategy at present. When the time was right, a young prince or princess would be selected from the royal family for training. This would not only maintain the legitimacy of the imperial lineage, but also ensure the safety of the emperor and Prince Chu.

Fu Yansheng's move was undoubtedly a glimmer of hope in the desperate situation.

"Since the situation has temporarily stabilized, I will take my leave first."

"Where are you going? You can't leave the palace now. It's too dangerous outside."

"To the restroom!"

Ling Mohui made up an excuse casually, but she didn't know that this simple action would cause an accident.

Ling Mohui never expected that she would be ambushed when she just left for a moment to relieve herself.

When she opened her eyes again, she found herself lying in a galloping carriage, which was speeding along the winding official road.

"Who is it? Damn it... You guys are so despicable that you wouldn't even let me go to the toilet?"

Ling Mohui cursed angrily, but her hands and feet were tied tightly and she couldn't move at all.

Soon, the carriage stopped at a desolate roadside. Ling Mohui was thrown roughly into the dense forest, and the coachman disappeared without a trace like a ghost.

Then, several big men holding gleaming swords slowly surrounded them.

In order to prevent any clues of her plan from being revealed, Ling Zhiyun took her away as far as possible, intending to eliminate this hidden danger quietly.

Although Ling Mohui tried her best to move backwards, she knew in her heart that it was all in vain.

She was too careless and never thought that there might be assassins lurking in a holy place like the Imperial Ancestral Temple.

Ling Zhiyun really went to great lengths to put her to death.

"How much did she give you? I'll pay double, just let me go."

"Humph! Miss, just accept your fate. We have our own rules in this business. If you eat at two tables, you will eventually destroy yourself."
