The young general and the prince, who was to be married off, fell in love at first sight!

Chapter 126 Why is someone with such a foul mouth still alive?!

Under Lin Shiming's constant urging, the three of them quickly finished their dinner.

After hurriedly escorting Lu Tingsong back to his side hall and assigning him his lessons, Lin Shiming returned to the main hall without stopping.

Lu Yuxi, who had just put down her chopsticks in the main hall and hadn't even had a sip of digestive tea, was immediately dragged by the impatient Lin Shiming to Fengyi Palace.

The imperial carriage and the crown prince's entourage marched through the palace road in a grand procession, and then the two of them happened to bump into Emperor Longyun, who had been kicked out in a disheveled state, just as they were getting off the imperial carriage.

The three of them stood facing each other for a long time at the entrance of Fengyi Palace. Their clothes were still somewhat disheveled. Emperor Longyun, who had been kicked out, was the first to lose face and awkwardly looked away.

He casually asked, "Why aren't you two at the East Palace, all lovey-dovey? What are you doing here so late at night?"

Lin Shiming crossed his arms and said in a low voice, "Anyway, it's not to see the joke of Father Emperor failing to persuade someone, angering Mother Emperor, and being kicked out."

Li An, who had followed behind, quietly retreated and hid behind a lamppost, struggling to suppress his laughter.

Lu Yuxi: "Pfft—"

Emperor Longyun: "... ..."

Am I incompatible with this little bastard?! Why does he bite me every single day?!

"Is this how Father Emperor comforts Mother Emperor? It seems quite different from his ambitious pronouncements during the day!" Lin Shiming showed no sense of knowing when to stop, scrutinizing Emperor Longyun as if he were looking at pork. "Tsk tsk tsk! That's it?"

That's it? That's it? That's it?

Lin Shiming's sarcastic words kept replaying in Long Yundi's mind.

Why is someone with such a foul mouth still alive?!

Emperor Longyun was so angry he almost spat out blood.

"you you you..."

"Failure is failure, why are you stuttering, Father? What kind of relationship do we have? Would I, your son, laugh at you?"

Aaaaah! I'm going to beat this little brat to death!

How dare you say you didn't make fun of me? The schadenfreude and mockery in your eyes are practically tangible!

"Crown Prince!" Emperor Longyun gasped for breath, pointing his anger at Lu Yuxi, "You'd better keep a close eye on your Crown Princess and don't let her fall into my hands! Otherwise, I'll skin him alive!"

"Father, why are you threatening the Emperor? Your son... Ugh! Ugh!" What are you doing! I haven't finished speaking yet!

Lu Yuxi covered Lin Shiming's mouth and backed away, "Father, Shiming and I were just taking a walk and we're heading back now!"

"Ugh!" No! Lin Shiming struggled to get into Fengyi Palace. "I have important business to attend to!"

"Listen to me!" Lu Yuxi said helplessly, dragging him toward the imperial carriage while whispering in Lin Shiming's ear, "Father has been kicked out, and Mother must still be angry. Why do we have to walk into the line of fire today?"

"Well?"

"Tomorrow, after Mother's anger has subsided, I will definitely come with you again!"

"..."

After a moment's thought, Lin Shiming stopped struggling and let Lu Yuxi happily carry him onto the imperial carriage. He then headed towards the East Palace without looking back.

This trip was a complete waste of time and energy, except for making a fool of Emperor Longyun.

Back at the East Palace, the two, exhausted from a long day, didn't want to deal with those tedious political affairs anymore. They changed into their nightgowns and went to bathe and wash up early.

After everything was settled, Lin Shiming, still troubled, lay on the bed while Lu Yuxi sat at the head of the bed applying medicine to him.

"Who prepared this medicine?" Lu Yuxi asked casually as she gently applied the medicine to Lin Shiming's wound. "It's only been two or three days, and it's already almost half healed."

"It's a family heirloom. I heard it's the recipe from that Lin You... my ancestor."

That makes sense. Lu Yuxi replied, "If it's Senior Lin You, then it's normal. I've long heard that he has all sorts of ingenious ideas, so it should be easy for him to make a bottle of medicine."

"That's not true at all." Lin Shiming thought to himself with secret pride. This formula had been tested over thousands of years in modern times, improved according to modern pharmacology, and even incorporated unique medicinal herbs from this world. It combined the strengths of three different formulas—how could it not work?

"Put on less, otherwise I won't feel comfortable sleeping at night."

Lu Yuxi nodded, finishing the last bit of work. "Don't worry, I only applied a thin layer."

After saying that, he packed up the ointment and tools, went to wash his hands, and casually asked, "What exactly have you been thinking about today?"

Lin Shiming chuckled casually, "I'm thinking about how to comfort my mother."

"Comfort Mother?" Lu Yuxi smiled faintly. "Father and I have tried all the methods we could in the past few years, and you can't think of any new ideas for the time being. It's better not to worry about this day and night and lose your appetite. If Mother knew, she would be even more upset."

Lin Shiming sighed, "That's true. There are only so many ways to advise people. I can't bring Prince Hua Min back to life, or..."

Lin Shiming suddenly stopped.

He couldn't bring Crown Prince Hua Min back to life, but Lin You could find a way to get Crown Prince Hua Min to appear in Bai Qiongzhu's dream! Didn't he threaten to play porn in Lu Yuxi's dream last time?

The short film and Prince Hua Min are not much different, are they?

"Shi Ming?"

Lu Yuxi, not hearing Lin Shiming's next words for a while, turned around in confusion, slowly walked back to bed, and said, "Didn't I tell you there's no need to worry so much? Why are you daydreaming again?"

Lin Shiming ignored his question and hurriedly tucked Lu Yuxi into the blanket, saying, "Blow out the candles! Go to sleep!"

"what?"

Lu Yuxi looked at Lin Shiming, who had already closed his eyes, with surprise. "It's only 7 PM. You usually don't want to sleep until the end of 9 PM, don't you?"

Lin Shiming forcefully stopped Lu Yuxi from speaking further, "Blow out the candles and close your eyes!"

Lu Yuxi glanced at Lin Shiming with a puzzled look, but still smiled and complied with his suggestion, getting up to blow out the candle.

The room was plunged into darkness in an instant.

Lin Shiming huddled under the covers, suppressing his temper as he silently recited the "spell" that made him feel nauseous several times.

"Balala Energy, summon my most handsome ancestor Lin You..."

Today is the 19th, and the moon is still more than half full in the sky.

The ground was bathed in silvery light, and all was quiet.

Before half an hour had passed, Lin Shiming, who usually stayed up late, fell into a deep sleep.

*

It was still the same small courtyard of the Taoist temple.

Lin You slowly walked out of the house.

"Oh, didn't you dislike my spells? Why are you reciting them today?"

"I have something urgent to discuss with you." Lin Shiming didn't bother arguing about such trivial matters. "Can you make the dead appear in your dreams?"

Lin You remained silent for a long time.

"You really have wild ideas!"
