The little Ling Yuxuan could not understand what his father was saying. He only knew that his father was in a bad mood! He stretched out his small hand to soothe his father's tightly furrowed brows and said in a tender voice," Father, don't be sad. Your son will be very obedient and won't blame Father!”
"Xuan 'er, I'm going to tattoo a map on your back now. This map is related to the rise and fall of our Tianqi Kingdom. You have to remember not to let outsiders see it. Imperial Father has used a special medicine, and the map will only appear when you're emotional or abnormally excited. It won't appear normally. I know you still don't understand what's going on, but you have to remember Imperial Father's words. Don't let anyone see it except for your big brother and second brother, understand?”
"Your son understands. Your son will remember father's words and be a good child."”
"Then Xuan 'er, drink this bowl of medicine first and sleep for a while. When you wake up, the tattoo will be done!”The weathered emperor got up from his bed and handed the bowl of medicine to the little Ling Yuxuan.
"Imperial Father, your son doesn't want to drink medicine. Your son wants to remember this pain and let it constantly remind me. This way, your son won't forget Imperial Father's words.”
"Good child, then you should sleep first. You'll be fine once you wake up. How can I bear to see you suffer?”He reached out and pressed on Ling Yuxuan's sleeping acupoint.
Ling Yuxuan, who was in a deep sleep, felt a piercing pain in his back. He couldn't help but moan. He was covered in sweat and his teeth were biting his lips, but it seemed that he couldn't stop the pain. It was already late at night. The night wind was blowing a little faster and the sound of the wind outside the room could be heard. The emperor made sure that his third brother didn't have a fever and went back to rest. After all, there were so many things to deal with tomorrow. Ling Yuxuan was a little worried and lived next door. Ni Shang was guarding the bed and was woken up by Ling Yuxuan's moans. Looking at Ling Yuxuan who was covered in sweat and his broken lips, he anxiously shouted," Is there anyone outside? Someone come quickly."”
The door was kicked open. It was Ling Yuhan. He had not been sleeping well to begin with. When he heard Ni Shang's shout, he knew that something had happened and ran over immediately.
"Second Prince, Big Brother Ling is running a high fever. Go and find me some white wine and clean cotton cloth. Ask Eunuch Li to bring over the medicine that has been boiled.”
"Hurry up and get me some hot water.”Ni Shang forced herself to calm down and said.
As a result, the entire palace was brightly lit again. People came and went in a hurry.
"The wine is here, and the medicine is here. What is Miss Nichang going to do?”
"Help Big Brother Ling clean his body. This way, the fever will go down.”As she spoke, she took off Ling Yuxuan's clothes.
"Then let me do it. After all, Miss Nichang is still an unmarried young lady and is not very suitable.”Ling Yuyan snatched the towel from Ni Shang's hands. Before Ni Shang could react, he began to clean Ling Yuxuan's body.
Ling Yuxuan's fever finally subsided after he wiped his lips countless times. He used clean water to wash the blood off his lips and applied medicine.
In the dream, Ling Yuxuan woke up. He was lying in his father's arms. He liked this hug very much. It was warm, warm, and his heart was filled with sweetness. When he moved slightly, his back hurt terribly.
"Xuan 'er, you're awake? Does your back hurt?" The old emperor asked Ling Yuxuan in self-reproach.
"Imperial Father, your son is not in pain!"
The scene changed. There was still a person lying on the bright yellow bed. When I walked closer, I saw the Emperor. He looked sick. The Emperor opened his eyes and saw me. Our eyes met. No, why was I here? I looked at my raised hand and shook it. I was using strength. I was clearly still very small. How did I suddenly become big?？？
The Emperor said weakly,"Xuan 'er, I don't have much time left. Since you're here today, I'll tell you the secret of the map behind you."”
I didn't know why I was here. The key was that I wanted to know the truth, so I chose to stay silent and listen to him.
"Xuan 'er, the map on the back is where our royal family's dragon vein is located. Every founding ancestor has stored a large amount of wealth inside. I once went there with your grandfather when I was young. Later on, someone leaked the news that our Heaven Enlightenment had a treasure map. With it, we could unify the world. Just this sentence almost caused the disaster of the country being destroyed. Your grandfather also died in that battle formation. With your grandfather's death, this matter gradually calmed down."However, there are still many people who are secretly investigating. I had no choice but to make a decision. I pretended that the modified map was accidentally stolen and spread the news that the map was stolen. If the map was really stabbed into your back, not long after the map was stolen, the Fuyao Kingdom at the border was destroyed. The map was stolen by them. Therefore, Xuan 'er, you have to be careful. Otherwise, the Tianqi Kingdom will also encounter the power of the destruction of the country. Although our Tianqi Kingdom is a big country, if we gang up on them, we will be able to kill them." I can't stand it. Father knows that this is too selfish. I only hope that you won't hold a grudge against me.”
Looking at this old man, he felt a little uncomfortable. He had no choice. There was no one he could trust by his side. He could only sacrifice his son. His heart must be in pain!
"Imperial Father also has his own difficulties. How can your son bear a grudge against you!”Ling Yuxuan sighed.
After saying that, his vision turned black and he was lost in darkness.
In front of the bed, the Emperor paced back and forth anxiously. Ni Shang's eyes had dark circles under them.
"It's been two days. Why hasn't my third brother woken up? Didn't you say that you wouldn't let anything happen to him? Now, my third brother is sleeping on the bed and there are still no signs of him waking up.”The Emperor roared, picking up the white jade cup on the table and smashing it.
"Brother Ling, why aren't you awake yet? Brother Ling, wake up. I'll play the zither for you, dance for you, anything is fine as long as you wake up, Brother Ling.”Ni Shang held Lin Yuxuan's hand and said. Tears flowed down Ling Yuxuan's face.
Ling Yuxuan, who had been lost in the darkness, heard someone shouting for him. He looked for the source of the sound and walked. He accidentally fell into a hole and fell down at a high speed.
In reality, Ling Yuxuan suddenly sat up.
"Third Brother, Big Brother Ling" shouted in unison.
Ling Yuxuan covered the wound on his abdomen and sat up.
He looked around." Big brother, why is your beard so long? It feels so old. Second brother, you look so haggard. Ni Shang, are you Ni Shang? The dark circles under my eyes are so heavy!"
"Big brother Ling, I am Ni Shang, Ni Shang. I hit you because I was controlled by a Gu worm. I didn't do it on purpose. Don't be angry with me?”
"Didn't you save me?”Ling Yuxuan patted his own chest. He could only smile as his wound was affected.
"Eldest Brother, Second Brother, you guys go and rest first. When you're done resting, I have something to tell you!”
"Nichang, you should go and rest first.”Ling Yuxuan's hand brushed past Ni Shang's eyes.
"Brother Ling, I don't want to. I have many things to tell you. Why did you leave without saying goodbye last time? I searched for you for a long time but couldn't find you. I was so worried. At that time, you suffered such a serious internal injury. I had prepared medicine to give you, but it was disrupted by those black clothed men. When I reacted, you were already gone. Later, I asked for your whereabouts at the Guest House and went out of the city to look for you. I met the black clothed men and was captured by them. When I woke up, I saw you injured, Brother Ling. I didn't expect you to withdraw your internal energy for me. You used enough internal energy in that palm strike. You clearly knew that you would die if you were to suffer the backlash of your internal energy. Why did you do that?”
Looking at Ni Shang's tears that kept falling, he reached out and gently wiped them away. In his previous life, he had only shed tears once before he died, so he wiped them a little clumsily. He also did not know how to make Ni Shang stop crying.
"Nishang, don't blame yourself. Although I've only met you once, I don't know why, but I really want to be close to you, so I love you like a sister.”
"Do you treat me like a sister?" Although I'm very happy to hear this, why am I a little disappointed?
"As for leaving without saying goodbye last time, I didn't want to scare you. I've killed so many people, and my killing intent is too strong.”
"Big Brother Ling, you're the best!" Ni Shang wiped away her tears and smiled through her tears.
"Go and rest. You can only continue to take care of me after you rest well!”
Before she could finish her sentence, Ni Shang fell straight towards Ling Yuxuan. With a glance, she realized that this fellow had already fallen asleep. After so many days of not sleeping or resting, she was exhausted. Enduring the pain in her abdomen, she got up and carried her to the bed. She covered her with the blanket and looked at her pale face. Her heart ached.
"This girl really doesn't know how to take care of herself. This life was great. She had a brother, a sister, and someone she wanted to protect in the future.”
Looking at the pitch-black night outside, it was still early before dawn. She lay in a corner of the bed and thought about the things in her dream. She did not sleep for the whole night. She got up early and gently closed the door so as not to wake the sleeping Ni Shang.
In the royal court, the Emperor sat majestically on the dragon throne. Below him, countless officials exchanged glances with each other.
Eunuch Li's unique voice rang out," If there's anything, report. If there's nothing, withdraw!”
"I have a memorial." The university official, Wu Xiang, stood out with a group of ministers.
"What's the matter?" The Emperor's lips curled up as he looked at them intently. He wanted to see what tricks these old things could come up with.
"At the banquet the day before yesterday, I wonder how the emperor plans to deal with Princess Wu Meng who injured the young prince?”
"Let's put this matter aside for now. Second brother only woke up last night, and we haven't investigated the matter yet. What are you anxious about? This one isn't anxious. We'll talk about it after my second brother recovers. Alright, if it's because of this matter, then there's no need to say anything more. Retreat.”Without waiting for the report, the Emperor directly walked down from the Dragon Throne and walked towards the rear hall.
