The concubine was reborn, and the cold prince was made red in the face

"You're talking nonsense!" Ling Chen made eye contact with Ling Xiao, and then shrank back behind his mother in fear, "Father is just... just... not feeling well..."

Ling Xiao glanced at Chang Ming, who hurriedly caught Mrs. Zhongyuan Hou who was about to rush upward.

"If there is something wrong with my father, don't blame me for being cruel!" Ling Xiao threw Ling Chen aside, raised his hand to push open the door, and walked into the room.

Ling Chen was thrown and hit the pillar next to him with a "dong" sound.

Mrs. Zhongyuan Hou screamed and threw Chang Ming away, stepped forward to support Ling Chen, and shouted at Ling Xiao's back: "You evildoer! Are you going to kill him?"

When Changming saw that Marquis Jingyuan had entered the room, he no longer pulled Mrs. Zhongyuan Hou, but quietly guarded the door, preventing Mrs. Zhongyuan Hou and Ling Chen from entering the room.

Ling Chen nervously pulled on his mother's sleeve, "Mom..."

Mrs. Zhongyuan Hou, who had originally stretched out her hand to support Ling Chen, saw the cowardice on Ling Chen's face, and thought of Ling Xiao's domineering attitude. She threw him away with some disgust, walked to the yard and cried, "Come quickly! Jingyuan Hou, please come here quickly!" They have come to the Zhongyuan Marquis Mansion to commit murder! They are going to kill someone!"

Ling Xiao, who was in the room, ran to the bedside, looked at Zhongyuan Hou, whose face was as golden as paper, and called anxiously: "Father? Father!"

Marquis Zhongyuan had no reaction at all.

Ling Xiao turned towards the door and called Chang Ming, "Go and hurry up Doctor Liu!"

Chang Ming agreed and asked someone to pick him up quickly.

Changfeng ran in from outside, glanced at Mrs. Zhongyuan Hou in the middle of the courtyard, and quickly entered the room.

"Doctor Liu is already on his way here and will be here soon." He looked at Marquis Zhongyuan lying on the bed, a look of surprise flashed across his face, but he still asked in a low voice: "Mrs. Marquis Zhongyuan is crying in the yard. Damn it, do you need to send her back to her own yard?"

"Send the person back and lock him in a room." Ling Xiao stood up and said, "Ling Chen also sent him back to his yard and asked people to watch him."

Changfeng agreed and went to the door and had Mrs. Zhongyuan Hou forcibly sent back to her yard.

Mrs. Zhongyuanhou was crying and refusing to leave at first. After leaving the main courtyard, she wiped her face with a handkerchief.

Having held a distinguished position for many years, she could not let down her posture too much and act recklessly.

"Let me go!" She wanted to fight off Changfeng's hand, but Changfeng's hand was like a pair of pliers and she couldn't break free at all.

"You are a slave who relies on human power. When the Marquis wakes up, I will let him beat you to death with sticks!" Mrs. Zhongyuan Hou scolded: "You are a slave, how do you think Ling Xiao can really protect you? He himself Now I can’t even protect myself, let alone you?”

Without saying a word, Changfeng sent Mrs. Zhongyuan Hou back to her room, closed the door, and said to the two guards outside the door: "Please be alert. You guys will stay at the door first. Someone will be outside later." I’ll guard it with you.”

The guard responded "Yes".

Changfeng glanced at the maids and women around the yard who were secretly peeping at him, and said loudly: "Everyone must know Jingyuan Hou's temper. I advise everyone not to do things that his old man does not allow others to do. "

"Changfeng!" Mrs. Zhongyuan Hou shouted angrily in the room.

Changfeng acted as if he hadn't heard, and continued to say to the people in the yard: "Think twice before you act, and don't do something you will regret for the rest of your life."

After Changfeng finished speaking, he left, and everyone in the courtyard quietly retreated to each corner.

Over in the main courtyard, Liu Qian was brought into the room by Mingyue with sweat all over his head. Ling Xiao hurriedly moved out of the bed, "Doctor Liu, come and show my father, what's wrong with him?"

"Master Marquis, don't be anxious, let me take a look first." Liu Qian checked Zhongyuan Marquis's pulse for a long time and then said: "Master Marquis's symptoms are a bit like a stroke, but..."

Liu Qian hesitated and did not continue.

"Doctor Liu, just say whatever you want." Ling Xiao frowned.

Liu Qian pursed his lower lip vigorously before continuing: "There is a poisoning symptom that is very similar to a stroke. I will prescribe a side medicine for Mr. Hou. Mr. Hou can try it first." Ling Xiao asked people to go quickly without hesitation. Decoction.

Ling Xiao stayed at the Zhongyuan Marquis Mansion that night and asked Chang Ming to return to the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion, "Tell Madam not to worry, I will try to go back as soon as possible."

Chang Ming responded "Yes".

"Also, light up the lights everywhere in the yard." Ling Xiao added, "If anything happens, let someone come to me quickly."

Changming agreed and left the Jingyuan Hou Mansion.

The next morning, just after dawn, the backyard of Jingyuan Hou Mansion started to be noisy.

Mrs. Zhongyuan Hou was in trouble for a long time last night, and she insisted on going out to see Jingyuan Hou this morning, but was stopped by the guards. Who would have thought that as soon as she turned around, she hit a pillar next to her, and her face was covered with blood on the spot.

Although he is not dead, he keeps shouting, "What did Ling Xiao do to Mr. Hou? Although Mr. Hou is not his biological father, he has raised him for more than twenty years. How can he be so ungrateful?"

The people in the courtyard were frightened to death after hearing what Mrs. Zhongyuan Hou said.

The guard did not dare to say any more and hurriedly reported the matter to Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao was shocked for a moment after hearing this, and then felt that Mrs. Hou said such words deliberately to slander him and disgust him.

How could his father not be his biological father?

"Find her a doctor to treat her. If she doesn't cooperate, light her with soothing incense." Ling Xiao's eyes flashed with a hint of gloom, "Don't let her die."

Changfeng glanced at Ling Xiao and quickly walked out of the main courtyard.

"Father?" Ling Xiao held Zhongyuan Hou's hand, his eyes full of worry.

Doctor Liu said that if his father didn't wake up within 22 hours, there was a high probability that he would never wake up again.

"Master Hou, someone from outside wants to see you, saying he is from Liuyang's hometown." Mingyue came in to report.

The ancestral home of Zhongyuan Hou is Liuyang.

"Who is here?" Ling Xiao asked, "Have you seen him?"

"I look a bit like the old patriarch." Mingyue thought for a moment and said, "I wonder if he is from the patriarch's family."

Every year when Ling Xiao returns to Liuyang to pay homage to his ancestors, he will choose two of them from Changfeng, Changming, Mingyue and Fengqing to accompany them.

"Bring him in." Ling Xiao stood in front of the main hall door and saw Mingyue bringing someone in.

"Ling Ze? Why are you here?" Ling Xiao took a few steps forward, stepped forward to meet him, and asked with concern: "What happened to my hometown?"

"Jingyuan Marquis, my grandfather asked me to come." Ling Ze took out a box from his arms and said, "My grandpa asked me to bring this to Zhongyuan Marquis. He said that if Zhongyuan Marquis is not here, I must leave it in your hands."

Ling Xiao took the box in confusion and opened it. It turned out to be the suicide note of Marquis Zhongyuan.

Marquis Zhongyuan gave the title of Marquis Zhongyuan to his eldest son, Ling Xiao.

"The Marquis returned to his hometown last month and told my grandfather about this matter. My grandfather was afraid that there would be trouble in the future, so he wrote two documents about the matter. The elders of the clan signed and asked me to send one of them to him. Come here and give it to the Marquis." Ling Ze said regretfully: "I originally thought that I would come here before your wedding, just in time to ask for a wedding drink, but I hurriedly hurried on the road, and it was still too late."

Ling Xiao frowned.

His father disappeared for a month before his wedding. Could it be that he returned to his hometown to discuss the matter with the clan leader?
His father did say before that he would give the Zhongyuan Marquis Mansion to his eldest son, but Ling Xiao was still surprised. Why did his father mention this in such a hurry?
Could it be that his father had already discovered that he was in poor health?
