As King Yu walked further and further away, King Qinguang heaved a sigh of relief. The pain all over his body was so intense that he could not even move a finger.
At that moment, the door opened again, and the King shuddered, thinking it was King Yu who had returned. Thinking of the brutality he had shown when he had beaten him up, he could not help but be frightened out of his mind. When the guard who walked in the door saw him in this state, he couldn't help but sneer, a thick sense of ridicule flashed across his eyes. All of the light from His Royal Highness earlier was from Prime Minister Li behind him, and now, without the Li Clan and Imperial Concubine Li, he was completely revealed and became completely useless.
As a member of the royal family, he had lost all of his courage and charisma.
The guard bent down and picked up the wooden stick King Yu threw on the ground. He did not look at King Yu anymore and turned around, walking out quickly.
In the Jin Mansion's sleeping quarters, a large barrel of medicine was steaming. Prince Jin took off his clothes and was helped to sit inside the barrel. His face immediately flushed red and beads of sweat dripped down his forehead.
Godly Doctor Gu, who was standing at the side, had a calm expression. A peculiar light flashed in his eyes as he tried to remove the poison from his legs. The pain was akin to the rebirth of a broken bone.
An hour later, Prince Jin stood up from the medicine barrel and stretched his limbs. He revealed a carefree smile on his face, "Thank you, Godly Doctor Gu. I feel that my legs are much more nimble now."
"Your Highness is too polite, I only did what a doctor should have done." I still have to go down to study a few medicinal formulas, Your Highness should have a good rest. "
After the godly doctor left, Prince Jin looked at his personal guard and asked, "How is the situation at the Duke's Mansion?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, the Duke Palace is surrounded by the people of King Yu and King Yue. They are now completely sealed off and are unable to find any news."
Prince Jin put on his clothes, and his slightly wet hair fell on his snow-white clothes, causing his pale face to appear even more gentle and handsome. "It's easy to overthrow the King, but it won't be so easy to cut off the Li Family. As for the news from the palace, how is royal father's body? " With Grand Princess Yi De in charge and Imperial Concubine Qi having cleaned out many spies, the news within the palace was inaccurate. They only knew that the Emperor was ill and was currently bedridden. The Li family brought along officials who supported the Emperor to kneel and beg in the palace, but the Emperor never announced him to anyone …
"We're entering the palace."
"Father did not see them …" "Royal father will naturally not see them, because the current situation is all caused by his tacit approval. Otherwise, no matter how much courage King Yu and King Yue have, they will not dare to so arrogantly ban the entire Duke Palace."
The housekeeper replied, "Your Highness, a female guest has arrived at the entrance. She calls herself Miss Helian."
"Miss Helian?" Prince Jin retracted his gaze before a smile flashed by his face, "Invite that lady over."
"Yes."
Prince Jin had changed his clothes, but he didn't go to the parlour or study. Instead, he ordered someone to bring Miss Helian directly to her room. He didn't know what the meaning was.
The guard opened the window, and the strong smell of medicine quickly dispersed. He waved his hand, signaling the guards to protect the room, and then respectfully retreated to the door.
Not long after, footsteps sounded from the entrance. He raised his eyes and saw that he was facing the Princess of the Northern Frontier, Helian Loulan, with a smile in his eyes. He said, "Miss Helian?"
"Your Highness, the reason why you came here today is not for official business, but for your personal love, so you called yourself Miss Helian. I hope that Your Highness does not laugh at me." Helian Li sized up the arrangement of the room and an unreadable emotion flashed through her heart, "The arrangement of Your Highness's room is quite unique."
"I feel that it is sparse and ordinary. In the eyes of the princess, where does it stand unique?"
"I feel extremely warm and suppressed, making me feel extremely comfortable." A light flashed in Prince Jin's eyes, "If the princess likes it, then there is naturally a chance to see it every day." He had already revealed his intentions to Helian Liluo. It was just that this princess of the Northern Frontier wasn't too far away from him. Although she accompanied him to appreciate the lanterns during the Lantern Festival, her words contained a sense of estrangement, causing others to be unable to touch her …
It was hard to tell what she was thinking.
His beautiful face carried a tinge of red. "Then, Your Highness, have you thought of when you can tell the Emperor about our relationship?"
Prince Jin smirked, as if he knew the answer. "What relationship does the princess mean?"
Helian Liluo's blush deepened. "Naturally, it is you and I who have wholeheartedly promised to become husband and wife, to spend the rest of our lives together."
Couple? In front of him, Helian Li's face was beautiful, but her heart was comparable to a scorpion's. If he were to marry her, it would be difficult for him to leave behind even his bones: "As long as the princess is willing, I will report it to royal father tomorrow."
Helian Li walked to the side of the table, took out a cup of tea, and poured a cup of water for Prince Jin to drink. Her eyes were filled with worry.
She had already made up her mind to make use of Prince Jin to stir up the imperial court, and had secretly been preparing weapons and manpower. But it would take time to prepare these things, and she was hoping that the emperor would be fine so that she could make a hole in the sky of the imperial court on the third day of the third month.
The color in Prince Jin's eyes deepened, "Don't worry, with Mu Yunyao here, Royal Father will be fine."
"Then I'm relieved," Princess Helian blinked her eyes. Her slender eyelashes were like two feathered fans as they gently closed in and out, bringing about a spring flow. "Your Highness …"
Prince Jin reached out and grabbed Helian Li's sleeve, pulling her into his embrace and bending down to kiss her.
Helian Li tilted her head back, her black hair slowly falling behind her as it slowly streaked across the back of Prince Jin's hand. He closed his eyes and touched Helian Li's lips, but Mu Yunyao's face suddenly flashed before his eyes. She raised her head, and reached out her hand to stroke the Prince of Jin's face as if she was obsessed with him. Her fingertips paused between his eyebrows, "Your Highness, I'll go back and wait for your good news." King Jin's eyes were sixty percent similar to King Yue's, but his eyes were not enough …
Cool and cold.
"Alright, I'll get someone to send you back."
"No need, there's a carriage parked outside the mansion, and there's someone protecting the place from the shadows. Nothing will happen, His Highness still has to go to the morning assembly tomorrow, rest early."
When the door closed, the smile on his face disappeared. He raised his hand to wipe his lips and then fretfully took off the clothes on his body. With a frown, he ordered, "Prepare hot water, I want to take a bath." "Yes."
