You died to save me, I promise you a lifetime

Mu Yunge looked around embarrassedly.

"Your Majesty, you are here!"

"Well, call me Zixuan! Let's start. I will practice with you all day today." Zhao Jingchen concealed the smile in his eyes.

Not used to it?

Call it a few times and you will get used to it, and it will become natural when you get used to it!

Zhao Jingchen pulled Mu Yunge to a corner to give him individual guidance.

At the beginning of the morning hour, Guo Shu brought people to deliver breakfast to the martial arts training ground.

"Your Majesty, you have worked hard. Please have breakfast."

Everyone gathered around the table. Annan saw the breakfast on the table and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Wow, there are so many delicious foods. I am eating breakfast made by my wife herself again."

An Bei glanced at the table in the middle and understood: "Eat yours quietly, even if you eat, you can't stop your mouth!"

At the table in the middle, Zhao Jingchen and Mu Yunge were sitting opposite each other.

Zhao Jingchen pointed at the table full of various breakfasts and said to Guo Shu, who was sitting beside him and watching, "Madam, I'm sorry to bother you. There's no need to make such a sumptuous meal. The same as yesterday morning was fine."

Guo Shu smiled and said, "Your Highness, when I have nothing to do, I like to make some food. I often made it when I was at the border. It's okay. If it suits your taste, you can eat more."

After that, he stood up and said, "Take your time to eat, I'm going back to Yun first."

Watching the people gradually walk away, Zhao Jingchen picked up a small and exquisite bun, ate it, and then tried a few other breakfasts, praising them highly.

"Not bad! Ge'er, the breakfast your mother made is really delicious!"

Mu Yunge picked up a steamed dumpling for him and said, "Mother's cooking skills are really good. If Your Highness likes it, please eat more."

“I like it, it’s delicious!”

Zhao Jingchen put the steamed dumplings in his mouth, nodded while eating, and put two into Mu Yunge's bowl, "You eat too!"

The two of them finished their breakfast chatting with each other. Zhao Jingchen put down his bowl and chopsticks and got down to business.

"Ge'er, yesterday morning, the Duke's wife came to my house and knelt down, begging me to tell her about some doctors who are good at detoxification."

"A doctor who can detoxify? They think that since the prince is often poisoned, yet he is still alive today, he must know some powerful doctors. They want to get some clues from you."

Zhao Jingchen smiled and nodded, "Well, I asked Manager Qu to tell her that my condition had worsened and I was in no mood to deal with her, so I sent her away.

By the way, my good royal brother was worried that I would not die, so he sent Eunuch Yao and the imperial physician to the mansion several times a day, which made me very annoyed. Yesterday, I asked my men to put on a show for them.

I guess they don't dare come again today, so I can go out for a walk to relax and practice martial arts with you."

Mu Yunge looked at Zhao Jingchen with a soft heart and said seriously, "Your Highness has suffered a lot. If you hold on a little longer, it will only take one or two months. If everything is advanced, maybe a month will be enough."

"A month is about right." Zhao Jingchen nodded. "I've already sent people to closely monitor my three good nephews. If they make any move, we'll take advantage of it."

Mu Yunge was a little worried, "Your Majesty, what do you think of my father and brothers..."

"General Mu is a royalist. Once there's any sign of trouble, he'll be the first to stand up and protect the emperor. After the Third Brother succeeds, he'll definitely kill General Mu first to prevent him from ruining his plans.

So, two days ago, I sent another urgent letter to General Mu. Don't worry, they will be fine."

Mu Yunge was overjoyed, "Thank you, Your Highness!"

"If you really want to thank me, call me Zixuan." Zhao Jingchen was very good at seizing the opportunity.

"This... Prince, after all, you are the War King appointed by the late emperor, a descendant of the emperor. It would be disrespectful for me to call you by your courtesy name."

"I like the name you call me. Who else cares?"

Seeing this, Mu Yunge didn't hesitate and bowed, "Since the prince insists on this, then this servant will respectfully obey. Zixuan, the general's mansion will depend on you to take care of it from now on!"

The word "Zixuan" was like a long-thirsty person finding a sweet spring, nourishing Zhao Jingchen's limbs and bones, and was deeply imprinted in his mind. It was like being in the clouds, dizzy and floating.

My heart, which had been hurt so badly by my loved ones for so many years, felt as if it were being gently brushed by a feather, numb, itchy, and warm...

It doesn’t matter if I don’t have those family ties that are cheaper than grass. With her, I have the whole world.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang..."

The lonely heart gradually comes back to life from being desolate.

In an instant, Zhao Jingchen's eyes lit up, and a smile slowly widened on his cold face.

"Of course! There's no need to be so polite between us!"

The lunch and dinner that day were rich and exquisite but not extravagant. Zhao Jingchen ate one more bowl of rice than usual.

Before returning to the palace, he looked at Mu Yunge and the people who were chatting and laughing for a long time.

Finally, he sighed, “If I could live like this for the rest of my life, I would give up everything.

But they won't even give me that little hope, and all they want is for me to die. So I can only take control of everything myself."

After sending Zhao Jingchen away, Guo Shu pulled Mu Yunge aside and whispered, "I feel like the prince seems to be..."

Mu Yunge quickly interrupted, "Mother, please don't overthink it. The prince is suffering because he has been through too much hardship and lacks care."

Guo Shu sighed secretly.

The old man told her about Mu Yunge's attitude towards the prince, and knowing that it was impossible for the two of them to be together, he didn't say anything more.

Fighting against the Prince's Mansion.

Zhao Jingchen returned to Prince Zhan's Mansion in a happy mood.

Chief Steward Qu stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, you've been training all day. Are you tired?"

"Not tired!"

He smiled faintly and went straight to the study.

Chief Steward Qu grabbed Li Mingzhao and asked, "Your Highness is so happy today. Is there any progress with Miss Mu?"

"Of course! Miss Mu was forced by her master to call him by his given name.

In addition, Madam Mu personally cooks three meals a day for everyone, and the master likes it very much. He eats an extra bowl of rice for lunch and dinner."

Manager Qu was overjoyed, "The prince and Miss Mu have made new progress, that's great!

As for the meals prepared by Madam Mu, since the prince likes them, this matter is easy to handle. I will send the chef of the palace to learn the cooking skills from Madam Mu."

Li Mingzhao raised both hands in agreement, "Okay, okay, then I can eat such delicious food in the palace in the future.

Speaking of which, the chefs at the palace are actually quite good, but for some reason, I can’t taste that feeling.”

Manager Qu looked at Li Mingzhao and smiled bitterly.

Why else?

The chef in the palace prepares meals as a job, but Madam Mu prepares meals out of her deep love for her daughter. The two have completely different meanings and effects.

Manager Qu was happily preparing to leave, but Li Mingzhao grabbed his sleeve from behind.

"Manager Qu, we haven't been in the mansion all day today. Is there anything going on there? Those two annoying guys haven't come yet, have they?"

"Everything is normal in the mansion today. Eunuch Yao and the imperial physician were frightened by us yesterday. It's impossible for them to come today."

Li Mingzhao disagreed. "Don't be too optimistic. The dog emperor is wicked as hell. He might come up with something new and surprise us someday. You better be careful."

Chief Steward Qu nodded and said uncertainly, "The prince they saw was just holding his breath. Could it be that he's still worried?"

"Who knows? What if he gets suspicious?"
