Knowing that Qinglan would say that, Ling'er giggled and without saying any more polite words, turned around and walked to the pile of memorials.
The white jade hand stretched out and casually picked up a memorial on the table and flipped through it. The report was just about some heavy taxes, floods and droughts. The world of Warcraft is not much different from that of mortals, just different in nature.
Fortunately, she has Qinglan.
But Emperor Shi Tian had to lead the way and do it himself.
Even Qinglan hasn't found any clues in this case. I guess Di Shitian must be in a very difficult situation now.
Thinking of this, Ling'er's heart tightened, and she looked at the memorial on the table, which was actually moving up and down. Ling'er subconsciously reached out to support her forehead and shook her head. Everything in front of her became blurry, and she suddenly felt dizzy.
So dizzy…
All the strength in his body was drained away in an instant, and then his vision went dark and he fell to the ground.
"Ling'er!" Before losing consciousness, he seemed to hear Qinglan's worried call.
Seeing Ling'er suddenly fall to the ground, the calm aura around Qinglan disappeared instantly. He was very powerful and strong. But that was based on the premise that Ling'er was safe and sound. In other words, Ling'er was his backbone, the backbone of the entire Yunhai City. As long as she was fine, they would have the motivation to move forward.
Qinglan rushed forward and pulled Ling'er into his arms.
"Someone come, call the doctor!"
Purple flowers can be seen everywhere, and purple silk dances in the wind, with a soft figure and swaying willows in the wind, just like the Queen Mother of the West, dancing gracefully.
The entire hall was filled with purple. Abundant purple spiritual energy floated in the space, surrounding a beautiful girl.
The long and curled eyelashes were motionless. The lively eyes of the past were hidden under the eyelids. The veil was removed, and a beautiful face was fully displayed in the air. At this moment, Ling'er was like a porcelain doll, quiet and beautiful, making people feel as if looking at her was a blasphemy.
Outside the hall, Qinglan looked solemn. An old man in a white robe stood in front of Qinglan with a look of shame on his face.
"What happened to the king? Why did he suddenly faint?" Qinglan's voice seemed neither hurried nor slow, but there was a strong spiritual power in his words, making people feel that every character was like a mountain pressing down on their heads, making it hard to breathe.
The old man standing next to her was the doctor who was ordered to examine Ling'er. He was the most qualified one in Yunhai City.
"In reply to the Prime Minister, your humble servant... your humble servant..." He stammered, his body trembling. With every word he uttered, his head lowered a little. It was obvious how much pressure he was under.
"Tell me, what's wrong with the king's health?" Qing Lan was also anxious. He almost shouted this sentence, which scared the doctor so much that he fell to his knees with a thump.
"In reply to the Prime Minister, I have examined the King's body. The King has no problem except that he has been feeling a little depressed recently. But the depression in the King's body is not enough to cause him to faint. So... so... so why did the King faint? I don't know." After saying this, the doctor fell to the ground, "I am incompetent, please punish me, Prime Minister!" As the chief doctor of Yunhai City, he couldn't even find out the cause of the King's illness. He felt ashamed. Even if the Prime Minister ordered him to die immediately, he would never complain.
The doctor's words did not make Qinglan angry, but his brows furrowed even deeper.
"Then do you have a way to wake the king up?" Qinglan was a reasonable person. He knew that the doctor would not lie, and he also knew that this doctor was the most skilled in Chinese medicine in Yunhai City. If even he couldn't figure out the reason, then it would be troublesome.
"In reply to the Prime Minister, I can only prescribe some pills to relieve depression. As for whether they can wake the king up, I am not sure." Without knowing the cause of the fainting, how could he know how to wake the king up
Things had come to this, and Qinglan had no other options. He waved at the doctor, signaling him to leave.
The king has noble bloodline and is protected by treasures. He firmly believes that there should be nothing seriously wrong with her body.
Walking to Ling'er's bed, looking at the little girl lying quietly on the bed, Qinglan was half happy and half worried. The happy thing was that she could finally have a good rest. Since she came to this world, her life has not had many peaceful days. Whether in Tianze Palace, or returning to Yunhai City, or Feng Country, she was entangled in many things. In the past few days, she has been running back and forth between Yunhai City and Feng Country. I guess this girl must be exhausted.
Thinking of this, Qing Lan couldn't help but think, maybe this little girl was just tired, so she fell asleep.
Sitting beside her, he helped her up and used his spiritual power to infuse it into Ling'er's body. Although he didn't know if this would work, it was always good to infuse her with some spiritual power.
I didn't expect that in such a short period of time, this girl's cultivation had improved so much.
You can imagine how hard she has been working lately. She has to travel back and forth between two places and still be busy practicing.
The wind gently blew across Ling'er's clothes, bringing a trace of longing to another place.
Since the last incident, Emperor Shitian had not asked about the progress of the case. The county magistrate only placed the daily reports on his desk but never looked at them.
I just lean against the window every day and look out, not knowing who I am thinking of.
Seeing the king in this state, Liu Minsheng felt deeply guilty. He thought the king became like this because he did not do his job well and hurt the king's heart, so he didn't even have the mood to investigate the case.
Looking at the families of the victims and then at the king, the guilt in his heart grew day by day and almost crushed him to death.
Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore, and he mustered up his courage and knelt in front of Di Shitian.
"Your Majesty, you can't give up on yourself like this. What happened that day was all my fault. It was me and two lives that were at stake. If you are unhappy, just take me out to see a doctor. You can't do this." Liu Minsheng was in tears, but Di Shitian remained indifferent and didn't even look at him.
Liu Minsheng knelt there all the time, from the sun rising in the east to the sun setting in the west. When it got dark and Emperor Shitian went to rest, he still knelt there, motionless.
He didn't move, but some people started to move.
"Master, I have received reliable information that Yang Linshisan's defense was a bit lax tonight. This is because their county magistrate was punished by Emperor Shitian and has not appeared at the city gate all day. So if we want to take action, tonight is the best time." A masked man knelt at the feet of a man in a black robe and spoke word by word.
"Oh? Really? Haha, God is helping me." The black-clothed man's voice sounded a little hoarse, as if it had been specially processed and the timbre had been deliberately changed.
"Give the order, prepare, and kill the witness tonight!" After the last incident, it was said that one person was left alive. It turned out that there were three people in the ruined temple, but he let one go carelessly. Regardless of whether the news was true or false, he had to go and take a look. He didn't want Di Shitian to hold the handle and hinder his future plans.
"Yes, Master."
The city tower of Yanglin Thirteen Prefectures was, as always, brightly lit.
Because of the recent series of bloody incidents, there are people guarding the city 24 hours a day. Although the city gates have been closed on time, the defense has not been relaxed. However, the only difference today is that Liu Minsheng did not come.
During this period of time, Liu Minsheng would sit on guard every night. But today, I heard that he was punished by the king.
Although Liu Minsheng is just a civil servant, the feeling of being here and not being here is very different. This is what is called morale.
On the tower, the soldiers on duty stood upright with torches in their hands. Inside the tower, two squad leaders sat and chatted.
"The boss isn't here today, so at least we can sit for a while."
"Yeah, my back has straightened up since I stood up these days."
"Why don't we go out and take a look, in case something happens..."
"Hey, there are so many guards outside, what can happen? Just stay quiet for a while."
Just then, there was a sudden noise outside, as if something hit the wall.
"What's that sound?" Ah Liu suddenly became nervous when he heard it.
"Don't be nervous. What can happen? Isn't it normal to have a noise in the middle of the night? You'll be exhausted if you keep startling me." As he said this, he threw a peanut into his mouth and chewed it with a smacking sound.
Ah Liu was not as bold as him. He reached out and grabbed Wangcai's arm, "Wangcai, let's go out and take a look. Don't forget what happened to Lao Liu and the others a few days ago. It's better to be careful. Let's go out and take a look."
Every failure is a lesson for all. He has a wife and children at home who depend on him for their survival. He doesn't want to be killed for no apparent reason like them. And the boss didn't come today. If nothing goes wrong, it's fine. But if something goes wrong, he, a small boss, can't afford it.
"Okay, okay, okay, look at you in such a state of panic. Come on, brother will go out with you to take a look." Looking at his nervous look, Wangcai said with a look of disgust, and then the two of them walked outside.
The guard was still standing there. He walked to the top of the city wall and took a look. Everything was still the same, nothing unusual.
"Look, I told you it's alright. With so many people standing guard and watching, what can possibly go wrong? You are just a coward, and you are just guessing."
After being scolded by Wangcai, Liu said nothing. He scratched the back of his head and smiled foolishly.
"It's okay, it's okay, hehehe..."
"Okay, now we can go back." Wangcai looked at Ah Liu with disdain and walked towards the house with big strides. But Ah Liu stayed.
"Wangcai, I'll stay outside for a while, you take a rest first, I'll call you if there's anything." He didn't know why, but ever since he heard the noise just now, he had been feeling uneasy. (To be continued)
