The Legitimate Daughter Empress - C179
Chapter 179 – Ling Wang
Ling Wang also wanted to talk to his more, but the emperor also urged his to do so. He hurriedly stood up and said, “Mm, then I’ll come see my sister again another day.”
Qin Luofei nodded, but she wanted to say something, but stopped herself. Seeing Ling Wang turn around and was about to leave, she hurriedly called out to him.
“Brother, I have a request. I wonder if you can help?” Qin Luofei whispered into the Ling Wang’s ear.
“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely help you check it out.” The Ling Wang nodded.
She had been unable to leave the palace for a long time, and now, there was finally someone who could help her find the Princess Tranquil. Ever since the Phoenix Jade Pendant had appeared again, Qin Luofei had never believed that the Princess Tranquil had passed away. That was why he wanted the Ling Wang s outside the palace to go down to the Rising Sun Cliff s to look for him. Although she knew the chances of finding it were slim, she still held onto the last glimmer of hope.
When Ling Wang arrived, he had already laid out a chess piece waiting for his arrival.
“Why did you come so late?” Emperor Ming lowered his head and asked as he held a black chess piece.
“Something has been delayed.” Ling Wang sat down.
“What is more important than This Emperor calling you here to play chess? Or did you go to Huishang Hall to see your sister again? ”
Indeed, nothing could be hidden from Emperor Ming’s eyes in the Imperial Palace.
“Yes, I just went to look for my little sister. I want to know how she is so late.” Ling Wang lowered his head as if he knew his mistake.
“Concubine Qin should be fine now. We even specially invited the Divine Doctor to treat these weak and sickly concubines. Ling Wang, you don’t have to worry.”
Ling Wang laughed. “With the Emperor taking care of me, I naturally won’t be worried about my sister’s safety.”
“I didn’t expect that royal brother would be so trusting of me, I have such a great comfort.” With that, Emperor Ming placed the chess piece on the board.
Hearing Emperor Ming’s words, the Ling Wang started to feel uneasy. There was a hidden meaning within the Emperor’s words, could it be that the Emperor suspects something?
“If chendi doesn’t believe royal brother, who else can he trust?” Ling Wang accompanied Emperor Ming to play chess until night before they were allowed to leave the palace.
The first thing he did after leaving the palace was to go to Rising Sun Cliff.
Regarding the matters of the Princess Tranquil, the Ling Wang had previously thought that he had died due to an illness that could not be cured. But he did not expect that there would be another reason, and who was the one who instigated the black clothed men who were chasing after Concubine Qin in the Rising Sun Cliff? Ling Wang decided to investigate this matter thoroughly.
Early morning the next day, the Ling Wang rode towards the valley of the Rising Sun Cliff alone. The lush and verdant trees had already blocked out all the sunlight. Walking below, it was a bit shady and the Ling Wang held onto a sharp blade. Step by step, he walked towards the place where the Princess Tranquil would fall.
He had only walked a few steps inside when he heard the sound of wolves howling. Very few people came here because there were a lot of beasts. He slowly walked into the place, and the wolf howls became louder and louder.
Ling Wang already had a plan, and the chances of survival seemed to be zero. The beasts here wanted to attack when they saw a man, not to mention a baby.
Finally, he reached the bottom of Rising Sun Cliff. To his surprise, there was a pond below him. Looking up, he couldn’t see the top of the cliff. Princess Tranquil fell down from above, even if he didn’t die, he would drown in the pond.
Ling Wang looked around to see if there were any clues left behind.
But a few days had passed since the day of the accident in Princess Tranquil, and it was already difficult to find any relevant material evidence. He looked at the deep pool. It was pitch black inside, clear but not visible to the bottom.
While he was focusing on the deep pool, a wolf was slowly approaching him from behind. Ling Wang felt a sound from behind him, he turned his head around, and what appeared before him was a gigantic white wolf.
His vision went black and he fainted.
When Ling Wang woke up again, he found himself lying on the bed.
What was this? Was it just a dream?
Ling Wang immediately stood up and went to his room.
In his mind, he thought of that huge white wolf. How could there be such a huge wolf in this world? Could it be that it was just a dream?
Ling Wang’s dream and reality were currently unclear.
“Prince, you’re awake.” maid came in. Seeing that his highness had woken up, he happily placed the medicine in his hands on the table and helped his highness up.
“Why is This King in the manor? I remember that I’m at the edge of the cliff.” Ling Wang held his head, feeling weak all over.
maid hurriedly said: “It was the butler who brought the prince back. The prince has already been unconscious for the entire day.”
Ling Wang was stunned, he muttered: “One day? Go and call the housekeeper over, I have something to ask him. ”
“Yes, Your Highness.” The maid went out, and soon the old steward came over. Seeing that the Ling Wang’s face was still pale, he quickly said: “Your highness, the imperial physician has instructed you to rest more.”
The Ling Wang shook his head and said, “Let me ask you, what happened that day, I think I saw a wolf.”
The butler shook his head and said, “My lord, that day, this old servant was following you from afar and did not see any wolves. Is it because Prince saw wrongly? This humble one only remembers that after he shouted, he fainted and scared this old servant quite a bit. ”
“It’s like this! You can leave now! ” Ling Wang stood up and recalled the situation.
But why was it so real? He had indeed seen that white wolf, but Ling Wang was still unable to accept this fact. Just as he was wondering, he noticed that he had a pine leaf on him.
That’s right, he remembered that there were a lot of pine trees near the bottom of the valley where he met the white wolf. When he saw the pine leaves, he was even more sure that he had gone to the bottom of the valley and met the white wolf.
Ling Wang felt a chill behind him. Why didn’t this white wolf hurt him? Why would a white wolf suddenly appear at the bottom of the valley, Ling Wang kept guessing.
Was it really just an illusion? No matter what, he had to go to the bottom of Rising Sun Cliff to see what was going on.
Another day, he brought a few guards with him to the bottom of Rising Sun Cliff.
He walked to the place where he had fainted that day. It was exactly the same as the place he had seen that day.
“Search this place thoroughly for me. What suspicions do you have? Hurry up and report to This King. This King heavily rewards you.” Ling Wang ordered, and a few guards split up to search.
The valley was not big, only the size of a palm. After searching for a while, they still could not find anything suspicious. Even the white wolf they saw that day was gone.
“Your Highness, your subordinates have searched thoroughly, but found nothing.” A few guards reported to the Ling Wang.
Ling Wang sighed. Was he going to fail his sister?
His sister was alone in the palace, and she had no support. It wasn’t easy for her to find a princess to accompany her, and the result was the same.
“Let’s go back!” Just as Ling Wang was about to turn around and leave, he discovered a patch of white not far away.
The first thought that came to his mind was that of a white wolf, and he immediately spurred his horse to chase after it. What appeared in front of him was still an endless forest of pine trees.
What was going on?
Was it all an illusion?
The Ling Wang looked to be deep in thought, the guards following behind him also rode their horses over.
From the looks of it, the Princess Tranquil was not in a good situation.
Even adults would find it hard to survive, not to mention a baby.
“Go back.” Ling Wang turned his horse and everyone rode out of the valley.
This time, he really had to disappoint his sister. If he couldn’t find the Princess Tranquil, he wouldn’t even have the face to see his sister again. However, thinking that his sister would be waiting for his news, he couldn’t help but enter the palace once more.
When Ling Wang returned to his manor and changed his embroidered robes, he entered the palace to see Qin Luofei.
At this time, Qin Luofei went to Imperial Physician Lin’s study room to look for medical books.
“Concubine Qin, why do you like reading medical books so much? Is she not trusting the imperial physician in the palace? ” Leng Mu walked in and asked curiously.
“It’s better to beg for help than to beg for help. There are many times when it is difficult for others to help with their own matters. Speaking of which, haven’t you been following Imperial Physician Lin for a while? How well have you studied this? ” Qin Luofei didn’t know why she had such a special feeling towards this Leng Mu.
This question from Qin Luofei caused Leng Mu to feel a little awkward. He actually did not put all his effort into learning medicine, and spent even more time thinking about his own plans.
“Probably not as good as you.” Leng Mu laughed embarrassedly.
“Doctor Leng, you are so modest, I just found a book on medical techniques with the words’ Disguise Technique ‘written on it. I wonder if Doctor Leng has studied it yet!”
Qin Luofei was originally a Empress Leng, so traveling to the Fourth Young Miss of the Qin Clan was actually equivalent to changing her outer shell. So she was curious when she saw this appearance changing technique.
“What is written on the book is also not true. Let me take a look, but Imperial Physician Lin does not know any appearance changing techniques.” Leng Mu took the book from Qin Luofei’s hands and flipped through it, but did not give the book to Qin Luofei after that.
Qin Luofei laughed, “That’s fine, I’m just curious. Is Imperial Physician Leng interested in seeing it?”
“If Concubine Qin is interested, I can study it for a while. After I finish reading it, I’ll let you have a look. What do you think?” Leng Mu had his own plans.
This book could not be seen by outsiders. It would inevitably give rise to other troubles. Perhaps his secret might be exposed, and his plan would be ruined.
Qin Luofei felt that the Imperial Physician Leng’s expression was quite strange today. It was nothing more than a medical book. No matter how she looked at it, he seemed to be very afraid that she would read it.
Qin Luofei’s heart stirred as she laughed, “If it’s inconvenient for Imperial Physician Leng to do so, I won’t look at it. It’s just that … I really like this book, and I hope that Imperial Physician Leng can lend it to Luo Fei to read after you finish your research. ”
Leng Mu was a little embarrassed as he turned his head, not daring to look Qin Luofei in the eye, and said: “Of course you can. After I finish researching it, I will send someone over to deliver it to Concubine Qin.”
“Then I’ll be troubling Imperial Physician Leng.” Seeing that Leng Mu was not willing to let go of that book, Qin Luofei decided to look for another doctor book.
Many of these medical books were placed on shelves, and Qin Luofei, a girl, was too short to reach them.
“Let me do it!” Leng Mu couldn’t help but ask when he saw Qin Luofei standing to the side and tiptoeing.
Just as Qin Luofei was about to retreat to the side, Leng Mu walked over and the two of them bumped into each other.
“Aiya!” Qin Luofei’s foot slipped, and she almost fell to the ground. Leng Mu reached out his hand, and pulled Qin Luofei into his embrace.
Leng Mu said anxiously: “Are you alright!”
“I’m fine.” After Qin Luofei finished speaking, she suddenly realized that she was still in Leng Mu’s embrace, and hurriedly tried to struggle free.
