Medicinal Concubine

Chapter 346 I Can't Afford To Lose Anymore

Hearing that Emperor Sheng Yuan's eyes on Ling Jingyu suddenly deepened, he didn't say anything but looked away...

Ling Jingyu didn't urge him, nor did he leave angrily every time Emperor Sheng Yuan avoided this question, but just stood there quietly looking at Emperor Sheng Yuan's back.

After being silent for a long time, Emperor Sheng Yuan turned his eyes again and found that Ling Jingyu was still there. He was surprised and said:

"Why are you still here?"

In the past, whenever the father and son mentioned this topic, they would always refer to Ling Jingyu

"My son is waiting for my father's answer!"

Ling Jingyu's face still had a bit of the casual expression of the past, he stared at Emperor Sheng Yuan, this time his gaze was particularly firm and stubborn.

Emperor Sheng Yuan stared at Ling Jingyu and remained silent for a while, then gestured toward the darkness, and after a slight rustle, Emperor Sheng Yuan sighed and said:
"Do you think I don't want to?"

As if thinking of something sad, sad and painful expressions flashed across Emperor Sheng Yuan's face one by one. Ling Jingyu could see clearly but said nothing.

"Ten years ago, I only wanted to fulfill the late emperor's last wish. I thought that everything was in my hands. As long as I acted, everything would be safe. From now on, Dongyue's country only belongs to the Ling family..."

"The results of it?"

"Not only was the late emperor's life's hard work buried in vain, but he also got involved with Ting Fei and his wife, and even your grandmother was implicated. I feel ashamed..."

Speaking of this, Emperor Sheng Yuan's voice choked up, and then covered his face with his hands, under the moonlight Ling Jingyu saw something shiny falling from Emperor Sheng Yuan's hand...

"Father, do you think that procrastination can solve the problem?"

Ling Jingyu didn't know the specific plan of Emperor Sheng Yuan ten years ago, but he could imagine that the dragon spine beast was stolen overnight, Xin Tingfei and his wife died, the capital flooded, and then the Duanmu clan rose again. Emperor Yuan was too big a blow.

But you can’t stop doing it just because you’re afraid!

"I don't want to procrastinate, I'm not afraid of them, but I can't afford to lose anymore..."

When Emperor Sheng Yuan said this, he was full of helplessness and sadness that could not be spoken. He looked up at the starry sky in the dark night and at the sparse stars, his voice was old and weak.

"Father, let my son go to the southwest border!"

Looking at Emperor Sheng Yuan like this, Ling Jingyu's hands under his robe clenched and then loosened, clenched again, and finally loosened again, and when he spoke, his face was already calm.

"What did you say?"

As if hearing something unbelievable, Emperor Sheng Yuan suddenly lowered his head and looked at Ling Jingyu in surprise.

"My son said that my father sent my son to the southwest border!"

Ling Jingyu didn't dodge, looked at Emperor Sheng Yuan, and repeated what he had just said.

"No! I promised your mother and concubine will protect you, how can I put you in a dangerous situation!"

Without even thinking about it, Emperor Sheng Yuan refused immediately!
"But the mother concubine also told the son to let the son help you achieve your wish!"

Ling Jingyu did not give in and argued hard.

"That doesn't work either, the Southwest is now the Duanmu clan's power, and I will send other people there..."

Emperor Sheng Yuan was rare and tough on this issue, insisting on refusing to back down.

"Father, you understand that there will be no second Xin Tingfei in this court, and this son is the most suitable candidate..."

Although Ling Jingyu had resentment towards Emperor Sheng Yuan, but after all, father and son bonded together, and he could not allow this situation to continue.

　The first one, I feel sorry for the old emperor
