Even though Emperor Lin had now discovered that it was inappropriate to take the pill for an extended amount of time, he would fall into a weaker state once he stopped. It was like opium, as it was not something that one could entirely cut off after having it.

When she entered the palace, Emperor Lin was flipping through the memorial with a sullen face. Still, his expression softened a little when he saw her coming in. Lin Feilu didn’t mention the pill as she took out some snacks that she made outside the palace and chatted with him while eating.

The father and daughter duo were having a good time when suddenly, there was a series of hurried footsteps outside the Palace, accompanied by the sound of armour colliding. A soldier trotted in hastily, and said anxiously, “Your Majesty, this spy is here to report urgently!”

The spies were secret agents placed by the Great Lin Empire in various countries. To avoid revealing their identities, they rarely ever needed to give a personal report.

However, should there be a day when a spy revealed himself to report on a matter, it would mean something big had happened.

Emperor Lin put down the snacks in his hand and took the urgent report from the spy with a solemn expression.

As she watched Emperor Lin open the envelope, Lin Feilu was also a little nervous. As his eyes sifted through the handwriting, the irked expressions he already had gradually became more visible. Ultimately, his face then turned pale with anger.

Lin Feilu got close to him and heard Emperor Lin taking two rapid inhales. She was about to ask him what’s wrong, but she saw Emperor Lin suddenly covering his chest, eyes closed and falling back.

There was a moment of panic in the palace.

Lin Feilu quickly caught and held onto Emperor Lin’s unconscious body and said anxiously, “Summon the imperial doctor!”

Before she could even give the order, Peng Man had already trotted out.

When the imperial doctor rushed over, Emperor Lin had already been supported and laid on the soft bed. Besides not regaining consciousness, his forehead was sweating profusely, and his hands and feet were cold. When the imperial doctor was checking on the Emperor’s status, the palace servants quickly notified Lin Qing and the Empress.

Lin Qing had been paying attention to the issues in the Yangxin Palace. As soon as he heard the news, he rushed over and asked the imperial doctor who had withdrawn from the inner room, “How is Father Emperor?”

The imperial doctor said, “Replying to Your Highness, His Majesty fainted due to overwhelming stress and a sudden emotional spike. He will wake up after taking some medicine, but…”

Lin Qing snarled, “Don’t hesitate! Just say it!”

The imperial doctor immediately continued, “It’s just that His Majesty has been taking pills all year round, and the Cold Poison had already entered the body. This time, the rush of anxiety caused his blood to flow in reverse. Hence, it caused the Cold Poison to invade his limbs, bones, and internal organs. Even if he wakes up, he might not be able to get up once he gets sick… “

Lin Qing shook his body, looking at Lin Feilu, who was holding a letter next to him as she said nothing, “Why did Father Emperor become so anxious?”

Lin Feilu handed over the letter report without saying a word.

Lin Qing took a look at it before his facial expressions suddenly turned gloomy.

In the urgent report sent by the spy, it was stated that the King of the Yong Kingdom personally had their Prince travel to the Song Empire to send a letter to the Song Emperor, proposing to unite with the Song Empire to attack the Great Lin Empire.

This was not the first time the Yong Kingdom had proposed an alliance with the Song Empire. They did this more than ten years ago, but the Song Empire’s reaction then was to send Song Jinglan to the Great Lin Empire as a hostage in a hurry to express their attitude towards the matter.

But this time, the person who received the national letter was none other than Song Jinglan.
