You died to save me, I promise you a lifetime

Eunuch Yao looked up at the sky and nodded.

"Looking at this situation, I'm afraid a storm is coming."

The Great Yan Emperor returned to the jade table and sat down: "Ming Xiao!"

Ming Xiao, the leader of the Dragon Shadow Guard, appeared: "I'm here!"

"Any news?" The Great Yan Emperor didn't even raise his head. "It looks like it's going to rain."

"Master, we have several people following. The prince is leading his men to Fengming Mountain. Judging from their itinerary, they will arrive tonight."

"So soon? He's really eager to die. Are our people ready?"

Ming Xiao nodded, "Everything is ready. As long as he enters Fengming Mountain, we will definitely keep him there.

Moreover, counting the days, it has been thirteen days since his last attack of the poison. If you include today, it has been fourteen days. The poison will attack him by tomorrow night at the latest."

The Great Yan Emperor was in high spirits after hearing this. "The time, the place, and the people are all right. I wonder how he can escape this time?"

After a pause, he continued, "Mingxiao, do you think I am cruel and must put my own brothers to death?"

Ming Xiao lowered his head and said, "I dare not!"

The Great Yan Emperor said to himself, "When he was young, I acted like a father to him and let him live and eat with my son. This has already strengthened our brotherly relationship and made it worthwhile for us to be brothers.

It’s all because he became more and more outstanding as he grew older, and became more and more out of control. He led troops to war at the age of fourteen, and still returned safely and was praised by his father.

If his mother had not threatened to commit suicide, he would not have been able to resist her and would have taken the initiative to find his father and said that he wanted to be a leisurely prince. Now the throne is his.

How can I allow such a powerful enemy to sleep peacefully beside my bed? For the sake of my kingdom, and for the sake of my son who will succeed me, I can only cruelly send him away.

Mingxiao listened silently with an expressionless face.

Suddenly, the Great Yan Emperor seemed to feel that he shouldn't say so much to a Dragon Shadow Guard, so he stopped talking, stared at Mingxiao for a few breaths, and then waved his hand to let him leave.

Fighting against the Prince's Mansion.

In the evening, Elder Xu came to the study with a pill in his hand: "Your Highness, the antidote is ready, please take it quickly!"

Zhao Jingchen reached out to take it and put it into his mouth without hesitation.

Everyone gathered in the study, looking at him eagerly, watching his changes.

Half an incense stick later, the bloodline on Zhao Jingchen's wrist disappeared visibly.

Elder Xu said happily, "It's done. The blood line has disappeared. Your Highness's poison has been cured!" He then extended his hand to Zhao Jingchen, "Your Highness, let me take your pulse."

Zhao Jingchen extended his hand as instructed, and Mr. Xu put his hand on his wrist.

After a moment, she said happily, "Congratulations, Your Highness! The Netherworld Purple Lotus not only cured your poison, but also repaired the damage it caused to your body. You are now very healthy!"

"Great!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

There was laughter in the study, and Zhao Jingchen also had a rare smile on his face. His already handsome face was even more beautiful with this smile.

"Well, thank you very much. You have been very hardworking and thoughtful in helping me detoxify!"

Li Mingzhao hurriedly reminded: "Your Highness, please try and see if your internal energy has recovered."

Zhao Jingchen walked to the door and waved his hand at a tree in the garden outside the door. The tree, which was the size of a bowl, broke in half and the crown of the tree fell to the ground with a loud bang.

"The prince's power has also recovered!"

Elder Xu stroked his beard with a smile, "Before, it was suppressed by the poison. Now that the poison is gone, the prince's kung fu will naturally recover."

As he spoke, he handed the box to Zhao Jingchen, "There's only half of the Netherworld Purple Lotus left. This medicinal herb is extremely rare and very useful. Your Highness, please take good care of it."

Zhao Jingchen took the box, stroked it gently for a while, and then held it tightly in his arms.

This is what she gave me.

Of course you have to keep it well!

Suddenly, a flash of lightning streaked across the sky, followed by a muffled thunder with a "boom". As the aftermath faded, the second flash of lightning and thunder followed.

"It's going to rain!" Shang Jue breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as he finished speaking, raindrops as big as beans began to fall down with a "crackling" sound.

The few of them returned to the map inside the house, and Shang Jue pointed to a spot. "They should be in this area right now. With the help of the rain, they can successfully shake off their tail and turn around to return to the capital."

Li Mingzhao raised a question, "They say the weather varies every ten miles. It's raining in the capital, but what if it doesn't rain here?"

"No! Judging from the astronomical phenomena, this rain will be very widespread. Fengming Mountain is a long way off for us to walk, but from the perspective of the sky, it's only a small area."

Shang Jue said this and looked at everyone.

"They deliberately spread the news of the Netherworld Purple Lotus to lure us to Fengming Mountain. They must have learned about the widespread rain from the Imperial Observatory. Combined with Fengming Mountain's dangerous terrain, they intend to keep us all there."

Zhao Jingchen added, "He probably also knows that the poison has been taking effect on me for the past two days."

Everyone gritted their teeth when they heard this, "Your Majesty, why is he..."

Zhao Jingchen raised his hand to interrupt the question, "There's no point in saying more. Since it's a fight to the death, let's take the initiative into our hands.

As for him, even if I don't touch him, he won't live long. What we need to do is to provoke fights between my good nephews from time to time. Once they decide the winner, that's when we'll take action."

"What a great mantis stalking cicada!" Li Mingzhao slapped his thigh excitedly.

Shang Jue stood up and knocked him on the head, "This is called sitting on the mountain watching the tigers fight, and then reaping the benefits!"

After saying that, he looked at Zhao Jingchen doubtfully, "Your Highness, you said he wouldn't live long, but he plotted against us so carefully, it doesn't seem like he's terminally ill."

"He has recently been taking the elixir of immortality given to him by the third brother. His body is strong on the outside but weak on the inside. It won't be long before it is completely drained away.

The last time I visited my mother in the palace, he was already showing signs of decline. I estimate that in about a month, he will be bedridden."

Recalling the scene in his dream where he suddenly became bedridden and the third brother was the regent, Zhao Jingchen's lips curled up.

He probably never dreamed that after scheming all his life, he would end up losing his life because of his own son's scheme.

Elder Xu stroked his goatee and said, "The elixir of immortality? I've been practicing medicine in Divine Doctor Valley for hundreds of years, and I've never heard of such a magical elixir!

Isn't he always suspicious? How could he believe it so easily and take it? "

At this point, Mr. Xu's expression hardened. "Could it be him you asked about last time? This is truly retribution!"

Zhao Jingchen nodded and jokingly said, "I heard that you, the master of the Divine Doctor Valley, personally prepared this golden elixir!"

Mr. Xu was so angry that his beard was twitching.

"Nonsense! How dare you tarnish the reputation of our Divine Doctor Valley? When I get the chance, I will definitely let him experience the power of the Divine Doctor Valley's golden elixir."

"Haha..." Everyone couldn't help laughing.

Li Mingzhao leaned closer and whispered, "Mr. Xu, are there those who are unable to live or die? They bullied the prince, and we can't let them die too easily."

"There are plenty. We have whatever you want. Even if we don't have it, I can make it for you."

When Li Mingzhao heard this, he counted on his fingers: "It hurts so much, I cry so much, it itches so much..."

Rong Chunlin rolled his eyes when he heard this: "Is this all you can do?"

"You're amazing, why don't you tell me a few?"

Zhao Jingchen interrupted their argument at the right moment, "Alright, everyone go and rest, I have something to take care of..."
