Chapter 1824: Chapter 1824: Is He Poisoned?

...

By the time they returned to Ya Village, it was already very late.

But the moment they pushed open the gate, they saw that there were still people in the courtyard; it seemed like the whole family had been waiting for their return.

"Grandpa, Grandnanny, Mother, Third Uncle, Third Aunt, why haven’t you all gone to bed yet?" Lin Changhong asked in surprise as he looked at the people in the courtyard.

Were they all outside waiting for him?

"You hadn’t come back yet, how could we feel at ease?"

Lu Qiubo said this to Lin Changhong, then turned to Lin Changyi.

"Are you hungry? There is food kept warm in the kitchen, Grandnanny will bring it to you."

"Okay, Grandnanny."

Lin Changyi glanced at Lin Changhong and only nodded after seeing him nod.

In fact, he was quite full, having bought food in town on their way and eaten along the road.

But since Grandnanny had already offered, he certainly wouldn’t say no.

"Changhong, take Changyi to the main house to sit."

Lin Laogeng, leaning on his cane, said to the two brothers.

"Alright."

Lin Changhong replied.

But he didn’t head to the main house first, instead he stepped forward to help Lin Laogeng, and they went to the main house together.

He knew everyone must want to know how he had dealt with those people from the Yang Family.

"That’s that. I reckon by tomorrow, the Yang Family people will be brought to the county office for questioning. Even if they can’t really be punished, being frightened by the people from the county office will deter them from causing trouble at our home in the future."

After a while, Lin Changhong, while eating, relayed the day’s events to everyone.

"They got off too easily!"

Lu Qiubo said vehemently.

Although the Yang Family had been hassled, that was self-inflicted, but it was their own family who were innocents. Her son and daughter-in-law had traveled all day long!

That morning, she had seen her daughter-in-law unable to even walk properly, limping on her legs!

"Mother, as long as they don’t come to our house to cause trouble anymore, that’s enough," the Elder Princess said beside Lu Qiubo, trying to console her.

Of course, she would not allow the Yang Family to cause trouble again. In the future, even if the Yang Family were confined to Yang Family Village, they would never be able to come out again.

In the end, it all depended on Yang Lin’s face.

Although she said not to worry about her, they couldn’t really just ignore the situation, could they?

...

A few days later, Lin Changfeng had left, and the Elder Princess followed Lin Changfeng to Jianan City.

Then, Lin Caisang and Sui Zimo took Lin Changhong with them and also left.

After leaving the town, the three of them met up with Zhe Jue and Uncle San. Lin Caisang and Sui Zimo took a route through the Golden Bead Space, while Zhe Jue accompanied Lin Changhong and Uncle San on a fast horse to Shaohua City in Wei State.

Upon reaching Prince Mo’s Mansion, before they even stepped through the gate, Zhen Wu hurried towards them. Only after entering the study did Sui Zimo speak to Zhen Wu.

"What happened?"

"My Prince, the palace has sent for you several times already, saying that the Emperor has been poisoned and the palace physicians are at a loss," Zhen Wu said, lowering his voice near Sui Zimo’s ear.

Hearing this, Sui Zimo looked at Zhen Wu with some surprise.

"He’s been poisoned? That’s quite rare," he remarked.

His ’Imperial Father’ cherished his life dearly, who could have managed to poison him?

"Has there been any news from the Empress, and what poison did the Emperor contract?"

In recent days, the Empress frequently sent news from the palace, and although they hadn’t met face-to-face, they had reached a consensus and were essentially allies.
