Amazing Pastoral World: Unparalleled Medical Queen

Seeing his expression, Rong Zhixing thought that His Highness had been overworked recently and his body might not be able to bear it. He could not help but worry secretly. He turned his eyes to the stone and asked, "Is this the stone that Miss Lu gave to His Highness?"

Ye Feng raised his eyebrows: "You seem to have something else to say."

Rong Zhixing suppressed his laughter and said, "Your Highness, do you know that people in the capital are talking about these stones now?"

"Oh? What did you say?"

"It is said that Your Highness brought several stones to the capital from afar. These stones must be extraordinary. Some people guess that these stones are rare minerals, some think that these stones must have some mysterious functions, and some think that these stones are just ordinary stones. But perhaps there was a touching story between Your Highness and these stones, so Your Highness brought them to the capital as a souvenir..." Rong Zhixing smiled, "In my opinion, this third statement is closer to the truth."

I heard that these stones were dug out from Ke'er's Red Persimmon Villa. Plus, they were given by Ke'er. Don't they have special meanings to Your Highness?

They are not only the testimony of Miss Lu's struggle, but also the gift from Miss Lu to His Highness. His Highness naturally regards them as treasures.

He could even imagine that every time His Highness saw these stones and touched them, what would come to his mind must be the days he spent with Miss Ke'er in Lingxia Village, so relaxed and casual, so warm and sweet.

In addition to Gao Yutang, he and Yu Qianjing both noticed that His Highness had a special attitude towards Miss Lu.

He felt a little relieved, a little sad, and a little lost... But in the end, he still clearly understood that no matter what choice Miss Lu made, he would support her with all his strength.

"This stone is not ordinary." Ye Feng seemed to remember something, his eyes softened, and even a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "But you don't know its wonderful uses."

Thinking of the magical uses of the spirit stone, which only he and Ke'er understood, he couldn't help but feel happy.

The two of them shared a little secret, and this little tacit understanding that only the two of them had made his heart excited.

His thoughts drifted away unconsciously. He suddenly realized that in just two months, he felt like he had been away from Lingxia Village for a long time. He wondered if Lu Ke'er had ever thought of him.

When Ye Feng thought of the girl who was full of energy every day and whose mind was full of all kinds of wonderful ideas, he found that even his mood became cheerful.

At this moment, the guard's voice came from outside the door, saying that there was something to report.

Recently, many messages have been sent in and out every day. If it weren't for the fact that this is an important place, Ye Feng would not have set up guards at the door.

"Come in." Rong Zhixing saw Ye Feng nodded and raised his voice.

The door opened and a guard walked in with his head lowered and a roll in his hands.

"Your Highness, this item was urgently sent from Pingzhou." A low voice sounded, a little hoarse, and it made people feel a little uncomfortable.

Rong Zhixing glanced at the scroll curiously. It looked like a scroll, but also like a piece of cloth. He subconsciously reached out to take it, but the man dodged to the side.

"This item is important, please have a look at it personally, Your Highness."

Rong Zhixing raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

This is against the rules.

Any unfamiliar items presented to the Crown Prince must first be received by the subordinates and confirmed to be safe before being handed over to His Highness. There were almost no guards who presented items directly to His Highness like this one.

But then I thought again, this guard is His Highness's personal guard, and he must have been tested. This thing must not be dangerous to His Highness.

Ye Feng's eyes suddenly darkened.

He recognized this guard, a personal guard who had been with him for several years. He didn't talk much, but he was loyal and reliable.

"What's wrong with your throat?" he asked casually.

The guard lowered his head even more: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I hurt my throat when I ate fish yesterday."

After saying that, he took a step forward and handed the thing in his hand to Ye Feng.

Ye Feng looked at the rolled thing across the desk and stretched out his hand as if to take it.

In a flash, the guard suddenly threw the scroll towards Ye Feng, leaped up, and drew out a long and sharp sword in his hand, stabbing at Ye Feng like lightning.

A shout was heard, and the secret guard hidden in the study appeared. With a flash of cold light, a hidden weapon struck the sharp sword.

The sharp sword was like a spirit snake, it suddenly turned a corner, and the tip of the sword still attacked Ye Feng's chest.

Ye Feng quickly retracted his outstretched hand, with a stone in it.

With a soft "hiss" sound, the thin sword had pierced straight into the stone.

Ye Feng only felt a numbness in his hand, and the inconspicuous spiritual stone in his hand cracked, and a warm and bright light suddenly appeared from the broken part of the stone.

"This..." Rong Zhixing's heart was still beating violently, but his eyes were already wide open.

Not only him, but even Ye Feng and the guard were stunned.

Who would have thought that this rough, grey stone on the table would turn out to be a piece of jadeite when it was accidentally cut open! Looking at its color and transparency, it is a rare ice jadeite.

The guard was only stunned for a moment, and he had already lost the initiative. Ye Feng's secret guards had already rushed over, and the bright sword light slashed at him, separating him from Ye Feng.

The personal guard was filled with remorse but was powerless. Not long after, he was knocked to the ground by the secret guards and was seriously injured.

At this moment, the door was suddenly opened, and Chu Xiong rushed in anxiously and panickedly: "Your Highness, be careful! Someone has sneaked in, Zuo Wu was killed, and his body was just found in the corner of the garden..."

The sound suddenly stopped.

In just a moment, the personal guard caught the secret guard off guard. He gritted his teeth, two streams of black blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, his head tilted, and he died.

The secret guard put the man down with regret, and disappeared in a flash.

Chu Xiong stared at the man, his eyes bulging out: "This...isn't this Zuo Wu? No, who is that person in the garden?"

Ye Feng waved his hand: "He should be wearing a mask on his face."

Chu Xiongfang suddenly realized what was going on. He quickly stepped forward, reached out his hand to the guard's face, touched it twice, and tore off a layer of skin with force.

Under the human skin mask was a face that had been scratched so badly that the facial features could no longer be discerned.

Rong Zhixing took a deep breath and said, "How cruel. Is this to prevent people from recognizing your identity?"

Ye Feng was silent for a moment, and whispered, "It's probably from those sides. Either the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion or the Queen's people. Of course, it's more likely that they are from Ye Wenyan's side."

He glanced at the body of the assassin who had committed suicide by taking poison and ordered, "Deal with it."

Soon someone came in to clean up the place, and in a short while, the study was restored to its original state, with nothing changing except for the stone on the table that had been split open by the sword.

Chu Xiong also saw it, and his eyes widened in surprise: "Your Highness, isn't this the stone that Miss Lu gave you?"

Rong Zhixing patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Can this still be called an ordinary stone? In my opinion, this should be a rare ice jadeite. And it is such a big piece, it is a priceless treasure."
