Chapter 421
Before the engagement banquet ended, the Old King left early, completely not giving anyone a chance to ask about Lin Cheng's situation.
As the Old King left, everyone else gradually withdrew from the hall. They left the hall in groups of three to five, apparently not to go back to their respective homes, but to find another venue to talk about things that could not be talked about publicly.
Lafeier father and son, who had been the focus of everyone's attention throughout, intentionally avoided everyone. By the time others wanted to find them, father and son were already long gone.
Lafeier looked back at the groups of royal family members behind and said, "He really has a tough life, he didn't even die from the crash."
Lai En: "Considering when he was poisoned, he probably doesn't have many days left to live anyway? At most another week."
Lafeier: "A week is too long. If the news reaches her ears, there will be big trouble, or even complete failure."
Lai En: "What can she do even if she knows? Can she find out the truth for Lin Cheng and avenge him, or can she save him?" He couldn't help but say, "Father, aren't you a little too wary of her?"
But Lafeier told him, "She can do both."
Lai En was surprised.
Lafeier: "So Lin Guli's life cannot be spared either. I must make sure no one can pass the news on to her."
Lai En was very curious about what kind of person Qiao Ying was, but his father had told him not to be curious and obviously would not tell him more. So he could only ask, "What should we do now?"
Lafeier: "First find out about Lin Cheng's current condition."
Hospital,
ICU outside,
The Old King looked at Lin Cheng inside through the glass.
Crown Prince Chadan stood beside, blaming himself.
The Young Prince comforted his elder brother.
The Old King looked at his eldest son, "This is not your fault. Go back to the ward and get some rest first."
The Young Prince said, "Let me help big brother over."
Chadan was unwilling to leave: "I'm fine, I'll just wait here."
"You being here won't help." Under the Old King's firm attitude, Chadan had no choice but to leave.
After the two princes left, the Old King adjusted his state and comforted Lin Guli, saying, "Duke Lin will be fine."
At this moment, Lin Guli was somewhat listless and dispirited, as if he had suddenly lost the most cherished thing. He looked at Lin Cheng on the hospital bed with an oxygen mask and after a long while, said, "...The doctor said he may never wake up again."
Old King: "He will wake up."
Lin Guli looked at the Old King and asked, "He's already like this, so why do you still announce him as the heir to the throne?"
Old King: "My abdication is imminent, Duke Lin is the only suitable candidate, plus the situation today, I have no other choice."
Lin Guli: "You saw it too, someone doesn't want him to take that position, and went as far as to take his life to stop him."
"Lin Cheng is lying there now, let alone managing the country for you, he doesn't even have the ability to protect himself anymore."
"Yet you still want to squeeze every last bit of value out of him to stabilize the situation." Lin Guli felt indignant.
