Xie Yu's trip to Qingzhou can be considered as one with an important mission, which involves the life and death of the Great Zhou Kingdom.

In the current court, the emperor's health is seriously deteriorating and his illness is getting worse and worse. Many famous doctors are unable to cure the emperor, and the emperor has not left behind a heir who can inherit the throne.

The imperial relatives were eyeing the throne, ethnic minorities on the border were invading, the Great Zhou was plagued by internal and external troubles, and the situation was hopeless.

Xie Yu was not unsatisfied, he just wanted to take back what belonged to his father. If the current emperor was capable of governing the country, he would not have thought of rebellion. Since the emperor was incompetent, he should give way to the wise and return the country to the Xie family.

No one knew how Xie Yu convinced Mr. Meng, but after that night, no one mentioned letting Lin Li marry Meng Ping again.

Lin Li finally breathed a sigh of relief. She no longer had to get involved in Meng Ping's family affairs and could live in her own small courtyard.

Xie Yu became very busy. Lin Li hadn't seen him for a long time. From what Yuzhu and the others said, Xie Yu once came to see her in the late night, but she had already fallen asleep. Xie Yu didn't wake her up, but sat with her for a long time before leaving.

Unable to wait for Xie Yu, Lin Li could only instruct Yuzhu and the others to make some delicious food for Xie Yu to nourish his body. Lin Li knew that something big would happen in the near future, and she just needed to sit back and wait.

Lin Ji stayed in his mansion these days and did not enter the palace. The people in the palace were in a panic now. Everyone had packed up their things and prepared to flee, so Lin Ji did not need to cause trouble.

The streets of the capital were in chaos. Many shops had closed. Gangsters, some of whom came from nowhere, were gathering in the alleys in strange clothes. Their language was incomprehensible, and passers-by stayed away from them.

Lin Wei told the people in the mansion not to wander around unless necessary, as the world was in chaos nowadays and security had been tightened inside and outside the mansion.

Zhou Yue placed the lotus seed porridge on the table in front of Lin Ji, "Second Young Master, have some porridge."

"What's wrong?" Lin Ji was picking medicinal herbs, and when he looked up he saw Zhou Yue's eyes full of worry.

"Second Young Master, is there going to be a war outside?"

Zhou Yue had just spent a few days of comfortable life away from the war. She hated the days of running for her life. Everyone in the Lin Mansion was nice to her, especially the young lady. Zhou Yue had finally found the feeling of home and didn't want to go back to that horrible time again.

After washing his hands, he wiped the water off with a handkerchief and said, "This is a matter of the imperial court, and I can't comment on it. The situation outside is very bad, and I guess it's pretty close."

Who would want war to come? However, the current court is already corrupt, with officials protecting each other. There are many false and unjust cases, and the emperor spends his time eating, drinking and having fun. He has not done anything good since he ascended the throne. He is greedy for money and lustful, and does not care about what is happening below.

If a wise ruler could really emerge, that would be what the people want.

Lin Ji didn't know what to do now. With the new emperor in power, would the ministers of the previous dynasty have a place to stand? And how long could the Lin Mansion last?

Although he didn't want to get involved in other people's business on the surface, he was very anxious in his heart. It seemed that his eldest brother was on the side of the new forces, and his father was very opposed to his behavior, thinking that it was extremely treasonous.

"If only there were no war," Zhou Yue sighed and sat on a stone bench, "the consequences of that thing are unbearable."

"Okay, don't think too much. Think about it from another perspective. If we have a new emperor, our lives will be better."

"hope so."

There is no point in thinking so much. What Zhou Yue can do is insignificant. She just hopes that the outside world can stabilize as soon as possible, and then she can go to the temple to burn incense, worship Buddha and pray for peace.

"By the way, have you finished reading those books I asked you to read before?"

"Not yet." Ever since the instability in the outside world, Zhou Yue has lost interest in reading. "Can I ask the Second Young Master something?"

This question has been hidden in my heart for a long time.

"You said."

"Why does the Second Young Master want me to become someone like him?"

It seemed that Lin Ji wanted to train everyone around him to become doctors, to save lives and heal the wounded.

"Maybe he wants his students to be all over the world." Lin Ji smiled and said nothing more.
