Chapter 1222 - 1221: Both Sides Suffer

Chapter 1222: Chapter 1221: Both Sides Suffer

Shiyi left the cave entrance and soon came back again.

"Miss, the troop of Duke Xuan encountered an attack at Wushan, and the current situation is unclear. In the palace..."

"What about the palace?" Chu Qianli asked urgently.

That scoundrel man has plenty of capabilities, she neither wanted to care nor could she care.

But the person in the palace, at this moment, is seriously injured and also afflicted with two severe poisons, at risk of dying from the poison at any moment!

"It seems that the Emperor of Nanming had a bout of poisoning last night."

"What?" Chu Qianli and Lan Qing were both shocked simultaneously.

Lan Qing attempted to get up, but Chu Qianli immediately pushed him back down: "Don’t get agitated, with your current condition, going out is of no use."

She glanced at Shiyi.

Shiyi nodded and stepped outside the cave.

Chu Qianli squatted down next to Lan Qing, comforting him: "Your eyes... although there’s still a chance they might recover, they may not be as good as before."

"Besides, with your severe injury not yet healed, you must rest well."

"Where are you going?" Lan Qing immediately sensed her implied meaning.

"If I told you, I don’t know if you would believe me." Chu Qianli looked at him, her voice gentle: "The person you care about, I also... can’t describe the feeling, but I am really worried about his safety."

"So, I need to go back and check on what’s happening with him, but I’m worried that if you wander off, it will distract me."

"Miss Chu..."

"Give me some time, and also give yourself some time. If you can’t recover, if your strengths cannot be restored, you wouldn’t be able to help him, right?"

Lan Qing did not speak again.

After all, what Chu Qianli said was the truth.

Now that his elder brother has arrived, and he has almost completely lost his powers, encountering his brother would mean a dead end.

If he cannot regain his powers, the people will no longer trust him; in such a case, indeed he wouldn’t be able to assist the emperor.

"Miss Chu, be very careful yourself."

"As long as the State Preceptor agrees to stay here and recuperate properly, I can also promise you, I will be extremely careful."

"Alright, it is a deal!" Lan Qing extended his palm.

Chu Qianli briskly slapped on his palm.

As she left, she instructed: "Let Fu Ning come to take care of him."

"Yes."

The two walked a bit further, and Gan Shiyi lowered his voice saying: "My people just sent news, saying that last night the emperor suffered from poisoning right at the entrance of Lingjiu Hall; at that time, Duke Yu and Lan Fan were both present."

"Afterwards, Yang Xun sent the emperor back, and the emperor has not been seen since. As for Duke Xuan’s side, it’s clear that someone is holding him back, they want to marginalize the emperor."

"What about Lord Ling? Isn’t Lord Ling loyal to the emperor?"

Shiyi looked troubled, glanced at Chu Qianli, and after a moment said: "Now there are rumors outside that you and the State Preceptor eloped, and the emperor sent someone to assassinate the State Preceptor..."

"That’s outrageous!" In this world, is there no longer any justice?

"Miss, don’t be angry."

"I’m not angry." What’s the use of being angry? It’s all those people’s schemes, she just felt somewhat unwilling.

"So, the rumors now are saying that the State Preceptor and the emperor are at odds, both sides suffering losses?" It was Chu Qianli’s guess.

Shiyi nodded.

"Miss, you guess like a prophet, indeed that’s how they are spreading the news, that Miss Li, in order to elope with the State Preceptor, secretly poisoned the emperor, and that the emperor in his passion for a woman wanted to secretly execute the State Preceptor."

In short, the situation is now that both sides have suffered losses.

If at this time, neither the emperor nor the State Preceptor come forward to explain,

then, not only will Lingjiu Hall change its master, even this Jiangshan will need a new sovereign!
