BXBX NOVEL Chapter 324
And in the end, Emperor Lin truly couldn’t do it…
In the eyes of the world, he was the standardly dutiful son and benevolent Emperor. It was deemed true that the Song Emperor was seriously ill, so Song Jinglan’s concern for his father that prompted him to return to the country to serve was also worthy of praise. As long as Emperor Lin still wanted to be remembered in history for benevolence, he couldn’t summon the captive Prince back.
The Song Empire not only replied to the letter, but they also supplemented the documents requesting the return of the royal prisoner and a hoard of apology gifts to the Great Lin Empire— this matter was over.
After Lin Feilu heard it, she was secretly surprised.
Little Pretty Boy had been in the Great Lin Empire for many years, so she thought that the Song Empire should have given up on him long ago. Unexpectedly, when he returned, the Song Empire was willing to dismiss Emperor Lin’s incrimination towards him and also found so many highly valid reasons. It could be seen that Little Pretty Boy’s status had not decreased but actually increased after he went back home, though she was unaware of how he could pull it off.
However, she was relieved to know that he was safe.
After the Crown Prince’s wedding, two incidents of Concubines hanging themselves and the royal prisoner’s escape occurred one after another. No one knew where rumours suddenly spread from, but it was said that the Crown Prince’s marriage was unlucky and collided with the royal luck. Many speculated that there were going to be a lot of bad incidents happening in the future.
It seemed like the world was trying to confirm this rumour as the miscarriage of a Concubine occured. Not long after, a eunuch was heard to have gone crazy all of a sudden without any solid reason.
The Concubine was only three months pregnant and she just went to visit the Imperial garden during the day, but when she came back at night, she felt an unbearable surge of abdominal pain, instantly knowing the inevitable after seeing red.
And the case with the eunuch was even weirder. He was serving others in the palace before, but suddenly, he screamed wildly and his eyes seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit. He rushed towards the palace maid next to him and opened his mouth, biting her neck. A piece of flesh was practically torn off from the palace maid and the eunuch was also beaten to death by the guards.
For a time, everyone in the palace was in danger.
Although the Empress had strictly ordered the harem not to discuss this matter, the rumours spread even more fiercely and finally reached the ears of Emperor Lin. Although he didn’t say anything, he summoned the eminent monk from the Huguo Temple to the palace to perform a great ritual. He also announced that the people in the Royal Astronomy Supervisors had made a mistake in calculating the auspicious day for the Crown Prince’s wedding.
