Chapter 212 (1/2)
Old Madam Ling frowned, ”Sir Su? Is there an imperial doctor with the surname of Su…” then, she suddenly remembered that there was indeed an imperial doctor with the surname Su and said, ”is it that Su HuaiRen?! Didn't he return to his hometown?”
Long Xiang's face turned purple from anger as he commanded, ”Relay my decree; seal the city gates and search the city! Apprehend Su HuaiRen and Little Chrysanthemum! I want to see them if they are alive or see their corpse if they are dead!”
Ling Tian twitched his lips as he thought to himself,
It is already in the afternoon and almost a full day had pa.s.sed. Who would be foolish enough to stay in the city, waiting to be caught?
He then sent a signal to Ling Chen and she walked out.
Ever since he entered, Long Xiang didn't pay any attention to Ling Chen and thought that she was only an ordinary palace maid. The moment Ling Chen turned around, her beauty was fully displayed in front of Long Xiang's eyes! Even as the Emperor, Long Xiang had never seen a beauty like Ling Chen before and his eyes lit up immediately!
Ling Chen frowned slightly and walked past him.
After witnessing Ling Chen's graceful figure exit, Long Xiang couldn't help but look at Ling Tian, ”Tian'er, who is this lady?”
Ling Tian was enraged in his heart!
Your own consort is lying sick and weak on the bed with your child in her womb, and you still have the heart to be tempted by Ling Chen? You are really worse than a beast!
With a chilly expression, Ling Tian replied, ”She is my wife!”
”Err,” Long Xiang's face couldn't help but turn red as he looked with regret towards the direction at which Ling Chen exited. Realizing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, he said to Chu Ting'er with embarra.s.sment, ”When did Tian'er get married? Why didn't you inform us so we could also join in the wedding feast? Ah ah ah…”
With her shrewdness, how would she be tricked by Long Xiang? Furthermore, she had also watched Ling Chen grow up, and Ling Chen was someone who she had already acknowledged as Ling Tian's lady. How could she accept someone else eyeing her? Looking at Ling Tian, she then said calmly, ”She was just a concubine which we had found for Ling Tian. With Ling Tian's first wife still undetermined, it would be a joke for us to make a fanfare because of a concubine.”
”Err, ah ah ah…” Long Xiang laughed awkwardly and didn't continue.
A short while later, Ling Chen walked in swiftly and stood behind Ling Tian. Without anything being said, Ling Tian understood what she meant.
Ever since Ling Chen came in, Long Xiang's gaze had never left her face. Ling Chen was both angered and frustrated from that as her face turned chilly. If it was anyone else, Ling Chen would have already circulated her Inner qi to definitely teach him a lesson. However, the person in front of her was the Emperor of Sky Bearing, and she had no choice but to swallow her anger!
Ling Tian's expression lightened up as the poison in Ling Ran's body had already been gathered into a corner. However, almost half of Ling Tian's inner qi was also exhausted! Due to Ling Ran being pregnant, Ling Tian had no choice but to be extremely cautious, greatly amplifying the exhaustion of his inner qi!
However, while the poison was gathered in a single area, Ling Tian would not be able to expel it with his current cultivation. This was mainly due to the fact that Ling Ran was pregnant, forbidding him from expelling the poison with all his strength. If Ling Ran's meridians were to suffer from a sudden shock, the child would definitely be lost! There was only a single option!
With a frown, Ling Tian said to Old Madam Ling, ”Grandmother, Chen'er and I are going to help aunt expel the poison from her body. It is best for those unrelated to this effort to take their leave.”
Unrelated people? He was obviously referring to Long Xiang, who was a hindrance in the room and even coveting after Ling Chen. How could Old Madam Ling not understand that?
Standing up, Old Madam Ling said to Long Xiang, ”Your Majesty, Tian'er cannot be distracted when expelling the poison. Otherwise, both mother and child would definitely be harmed. It is best for Your Majesty to wait outside. When there is news, we will definitely inform Your Majesty at the first moment!”
”Okay! Okay!” Long Xiang then looked at Ling Ran with worry and snuck a reluctant glance at Ling Chen. Then he turned around and walked out slowly.
Off to the side, Princess JiaoYue was already filled with shame at the lecherous actions of her father. She lowered her bright red face as she no longer had the will to keep her head raised.
Ling Tian then said solemnly, ”Grandmother, please guard the door with sister JiaoYue. No one must be allowed entry, regardless of who they are! If not, the consequences would be dire! Not just the child but even aunt's life may be in danger!”
