Chapter 607 – Breathless

Deep into the night, some people were happy while others were sad. Lin Xiang Mansion should have been peaceful, but tonight, the cries of women could be heard everywhere. Occasionally, a cool breeze would blow over, causing people to feel inexplicably terrified in their hearts.Lin Xiang sat upright in the great hall, the interior was brightly lit. The imperial concubines all silently sat on both sides of the table, not daring to say a word. Second Madame was kneeling on the ground, sobbing in pain, while reciting her baby’s name.Lin Xiang could not stand the atmosphere and coldly roared: “Enough! “What are you crying for? I’m not sure if Mi Er is still alive or not. Look at you at night, don’t you look like a shrew!”Second Madame could not bear Lin Xiang saying this to him. His crying became even more intense, his crying sounds sounding extremely miserable.At this moment, someone shouted from outside the courtyard, “Master, it’s bad, Master!”When Lin Xiang heard the voice, he hurriedly got up and walked out. When he saw several guards carrying a stretcher towards him, his heart sank. He quickly stepped forward and lifted up the blanket, looking at the already stiff Lin Mi’er. His face instantly turned pale and he staggered backwards. He almost fell to the ground.“Old master, be careful.”Fortunately, the guards behind him stepped forward to support him. Lin Xiang looked at the person on the stretcher, and asked with a hoarse voice: “What’s going on? “Who sent Honey?”“Reporting to Master, it’s the people from Duke Ling Palace. They said that Duke Ling had just gone out to settle some matters, and when they met on the road, Second Miss died by the side of the road. That’s why they kindly ordered people to bring Second Miss back.”Lin Xiang’s heart sank, his fists tightly clenched, as he gnashed his teeth and roared in a low voice: “Xuanyuan Haoyue! Great you, Duke Ling! ”Very quickly, the concubines in the hall all rushed over when they heard the commotion. When Second Madame saw Lin Mi’er, his eyes rolled back as he fainted. Lin Xiang had his hand over his heart, his trembling fingers pointing at Lin Mi’er, he ordered: “Take them down and take care of them, get them to take Second Madame back to his room! Prepare the horses and enter the palace! ”The guard beside him said softly: “Master, it’s already been so long. Emperor is probably already asleep.“Why did I order you to waste your words!”The guard glanced at Lin Xiang with his Sky Eye before hurriedly retreating.Lin Xiang held his chest for a long time without being able to catch his breath.In the dead of the night, outside of Darknorth Kingdom’s Imperial Palace, the carriage of Lin Xiang Mansion stopped at the entrance of the palace. The guards blocked Lin Xiang’s path.“Prime Minister Lin, if you need anything, please come back tomorrow.” Emperor is already asleep. ”Lin Xiang’s voice was choked with anger as he scolded, “I have something important to report to Your Majesty. If you dare to obstruct me and something happens, Emperor will definitely not forgive you!”The two guards glanced at each other and retreated two steps back, making way for Lin Xiang.Just like this, Lin Xiang smoothly entered the palace.But he didn’t seem to have come at the right time?Hearing the shy girl’s voice from Emperor’s chambers, Lin Xiang’s face turned red, but he was enraged by what Duke Ling had done. After pacing outside of the palace for a long time, he stepped forward and said in a low voice to the eunuch guarding outside of the door: “Eunuch Qin, could you inform me in my place that I have something that I need to request to see Emperor about?”Eunuch Qin cleared his throat, sized Lin Xiang up from top to bottom, and lightly replied: “Lin Xiang, you should go back. Just now, Duke Ling was kind enough to send His Majesty a top-grade beauty.Hearing Eunuch Qin’s words, Lin Xiang thought about his daughter’s miserable death, and in the end, spat out a mouthful of blood.Eunuch Qin calmly gestured for the guards to carry Lin Xiang back, and brought him back to the Lin Xiang Mansion. Eunuch Qin, on the other hand, quietly guarded the entrance of the palace, enjoying the beautiful voice.The next day, an imperial edict came from the palace. Lin Xiang got off the bed with his illness and knelt on the ground with his head lowered.Hearing Eunuch Qin’s shrill voice reciting the contents of the imperial edict, Lin Xiang became angrier the more he heard it, but he did not dare to say anything more.When the eunuch left, Lin Xiang looked at the contents of the imperial edict and almost fainted from anger again.“Ling Wang, this old man has truly underestimated you!”Holding the imperial edict tightly, his dark eyes were filled with hatred.At this time, within Duke Ling Palace, Xuanyuan Haoyue was sitting on the desk with one leg under the table. He looked at the respectful and compassionate look in front of him and said, “Have pity, I has really underestimated you.”Lianxiu was stunned, then she replied, “Lianxiu just wants to help you share your worries.”“This mouth is so sweet!”When she saw the fervent gaze of Xuanyuan Haoyue staring at her, she uneasily shrank back. Unknowingly, Xuanyuan Haoyue had already arrived in front of her and used his fingers to lift her chin, making her look straight at him. The corner of his mouth curled up into a devilish smile.“If I were to kill you, I really wouldn’t want to!”After hearing Xuanyuan Haoyue’s words, Lianxiu was so scared that she dropped to her knees, “My prince, Lianxiu is a member of Duke Ling Palace. Liansheng is a ghost of Duke Ling Palace, Lianxiang will never betray you. Please, spare me your pity. ”Seeing such a pitiful and panicked feeling, Xuanyuan Haoyue’s mood instantly improved a lot. The haze over his face had dissipated just now. Thinking that Lianxiu had indeed not done anything that let Duke Ling Palace down, Xuanyuan Haoyue whispered in her ear, “It’s best if you behave properly in your palace, or else, Lin Mi’er will be your ending!”“Yes, Your Highness.”Not long after Lin Mi’er left, Xuanyuan Haoyue received a letter from Xuanyuan Che. Looking at the contents of the letter, the corners of Xuanyuan Haoyue’s lips curled up and his figure quickly disappeared from the Ling Manor.At this time, Xuanyuan Che had already arranged the betrothal gift ready and was ready to set off at any time. The seventh day, looking at the mighty team at the entrance, always felt that they were too flamboyant. Watching the nearly twenty large boxes, on the seventh day, he walked to Xuanyuan Che’s side and said in a low voice, “Big Brother Che, we’ll go back together. It’s better not to bring these things, right?”With so much gold, silver, jewelry, and high-grade supplements, Seventh Day felt that these things were almost comparable to the treasury of a small country on the mainland.However, Xuanyuan Che’s thin lips slightly pursed as he told the seventh day, “This is all my betrothal gift. If it’s too little, then I’m afraid that when I return, I’ll be the only one left!”Year 7 shyly turned his face away and no longer said anything.Everything had been prepared, and now, he was waiting for Xuanyuan Haoyue.Just as the seventh day of the reunion was about to take place on the continent, an urgent letter came from the Eastern Tomb Kingdom.A man dressed in embroidered clothes riding a horse rushed over to the entrance of Crown Prince Palace. He quickly jumped down from his horse, and with half a knee in front of Xuanyuan Che, he cupped his fists and said, “I am Gui Ying! They are the personal guard of the Emperor of the Eastern Tomb Kingdom. They have come according to the decree to deliver a letter to Princess Xiao Qi. ”On the seventh day, he frowned. What was Xiao Royal Uncle doing? Deliberately delivering a letter to her when she was about to go back?He reached out to take the letter, but Xuanyuan Che snatched it away first. Xuanyuan Che looked at the contents on it and gave Spiritshadow a glare. In a low and deep voice, he said, “He’s injured, what’s the use of looking for Xiao Qi!”Gui Ying hesitated for a moment, sneakily glancing at the seventh day, before replying: “Master said that Princess Xiao Qi’s blood can save lives.”“What are you talking about? Big Brother Che? ”Seventh day suddenly asked.
