Deposed Crown Prince: After three years of service on the frontier, the entire court knelt and begge

Because the object on the table was a jade thumb ring.

Xiao Ce felt that this jade thumb ring looked familiar.

The person in my dream last night was wearing a strange glove on one hand and this jade thumb ring on the other.

Xiao Ce looked at the position on the table, and Da Lei, who was next to him, also noticed it.

He then asked Xiao Ce, "My lord, do you want that jade thumb ring?"

Xiao Ce was very weak at this moment, and nodded.

After Da Lei brought the jade thumb ring over, he handed it to Xiao Ce.

"Sir, when did you bring this thumb ring? I've never seen you wear it before..."

After receiving the jade thumb ring, Xiao Ce examined it in his hand.

This jade thumb ring is made of white jade and has exquisite carvings on it. This item must have come from the Xiao Kingdom.

The patterns inside are also some of the patterns found in the Xiao Kingdom culture.

He was also quite certain that this was the first time he had ever seen this jade thumb ring.

He doesn't usually wear this thing.

Xiao Ce stared at the jade thumb ring for a long time, his expression solemn.

Da Lei, who was standing nearby, noticed that something was wrong.

So he asked Xiao Ce, "My lord, are you alright... Is there something wrong with this ring?"

Xiao Ce smiled at Da Lei and asked, "Have you seen this jade thumb ring before?"

Actually, Xiao Ce just asked casually; he didn't expect Da Lei to know.

Da Lei nodded: "Of course I've seen it... My lord, what, have you forgotten? This is the ring the prince gave you, isn't it?"

After hearing Da Lei's words, Xiao Ce's mind went blank.

A ring given by the prince?

Which prince?

Is the King of Zhen, Xiao Dingshan?

However, Xiao Ce had never seen this ring since he transmigrated here.

Looking at Xiao Ce's completely bewildered expression.

Da Lei said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, do you really not remember?"

Xiao Ce didn't hide anything and said bluntly, "Don't you remember? Didn't I say that I was hit once before and some of my memories were lost?"

Xiao Ce had previously used this to deceive Yin Pan'er and others.

However, as his status rose higher and higher, and as one incident followed another, things continued to happen.

Everyone has forgotten about these things and no longer cares about them.

Da Lei only just remembered that Xiao Ce had mentioned this several years ago when he was at the Northern Desert Prince's Mansion...

After laughing, Da Lei patted his head and said, "I remember now! Sir, look, I had forgotten about this."

Immediately, Da Lei took the jade thumb ring and began to introduce it to Xiao Ce. He said that the pattern on the jade thumb ring was actually the pattern on the tiger tally of the army of the King of Zhen. There were two such jade thumb rings in total. One of them had the pattern of the army tiger tally carved on the front, with a seal script character "Ding Shan" engraved inside!

The other one is engraved with the character '策' in seal script.

Xiao Dingshan had acquired these two rings to take care of Xiao Ce.

If something were to happen to him, Xiao Ce could take out the jade thumb ring and call upon Xiao Dingshan's old subordinates, including his Shadow Guard.

Xiao Ce was clearly surprised after hearing Da Lei's words.

Because of these things, whether they came from Xiao Dingshan's steward or from other places.

Xiao Ce looked at Da Lei and said, "Why have you never mentioned this before, and I've never heard anyone else say it to me?"

Da Lei awkwardly said to Xiao Ce, "My lord, it's because you've never taken out this jade thumb ring before... I had forgotten about it before... Now that I've seen this jade thumb ring, I've remembered everything from the past... So, the reason you didn't take out this jade thumb ring is because you forgot?"

Xiao Ce looked embarrassed, then nodded to Da Lei: "That's right, to be precise, that's exactly it... But how did you know?"

Da Lei followed Xiao Ce and said that he used to be Xiao Dingshan's number one trainer, and that they needed someone who could mobilize them.

This was naturally told to him by Xiao Dingshan.

However, Xiao Ce never mentioned it, nor had he ever seen the jade thumb ring, so Da Lei simply forgot about it...

Hearing Da Lei say this, Xiao Ce confirmed it again; the pattern was exactly as Xiao Ce had described.

Da Lei quickly realized the problem.

"Sir, you don't even recognize this jade thumb ring? Where did you get this jade thumb ring from?"

Xiao Ce did not hide anything from Da Lei and recounted the strange dream he had last night.

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Da Lei stood there in a daze for several minutes.

Then he said to Xiao Ce, "My lord, do you mean that in your dream, someone who looks exactly like you appeared, wearing this jade thumb ring... and then left the jade thumb ring here?"

Xiao Ce gave an awkward smile: "Isn't this a bit unbelievable..."

Da Lei said to Xiao Ce with absolute certainty, "My lord, is it possible that this isn't just a dream at all...?"

After hearing what Da Lei said, Xiao Ce pointed to the jade thumb ring on the side and said, "Now we can be sure that it wasn't a dream..."

Da Lei smiled and then looked around the room, which had only one window.

Da Lei opened the window and looked down; climbing up wouldn't be easy...

Moreover, this window cannot be opened from the outside at all.

Da Lei followed Xiao Ce's lead and said with absolute certainty, "My lord, there's one more thing. I'm sleeping outside, so if anyone sneaks in, I'll know immediately..."

Xiao Ce did not answer, but looked at the jade thumb ring in his hand with a serious expression.

After watching for a while, something suddenly occurred to me.

Then he and Da Lei looked at each other.

Suddenly, a person came to mind for both of them, someone that perhaps no one else in the world could do.

But there is one person who can do it.

That's the Mad Taoist.

Sure enough, after exchanging glances, the two said almost in unison, "The Mad Taoist."

It seems the two of them are thinking the same thing.

After all, if what happened last night wasn't a dream, then how could it have entered without anyone noticing?

It has to be the same as what Xiao Ce did. Only the Mad Taoist could do that.

However, what Xiao Ce couldn't understand was their purpose in doing this...

why?

What is the purpose?

Before the two could even communicate, Boudica had already arrived with a doctor.

Not only Boudica came, but Kimberly came too.

Boudica said he didn't know who to contact either.

Moreover, the doctor they rashly found didn't dare to examine Xiao Ce, so they entrusted Kimberly to the doctor.

Kimberly then found one of his private doctors.

After Kimberly arrived, he did not immediately treat Xiao Ce.

Instead, Kimberly first introduced the doctor to Xiao Ce.

"Brother Ce, don't worry, I can absolutely trust this doctor..."

Xiao Ce smiled and nodded: "Brother Jin, I can definitely trust the person you chose..."

Immediately afterwards, the doctor came over to treat Xiao Ce.

If the traditional Chinese medicine practices in Xiao Kingdom relied on observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation, then Western doctors were indeed somewhat amateurish...

Moreover, the doctor in front of us was found by Kimberly.

It's definitely top-notch.

A top-tier talent, after watching for a while, probably just got a fever.

Then I went to prepare the medicine.

The medicine they used was actually herbal. After Da Lei examined it and confirmed it was fine, he gave it to Xiao Ce...

Kimberly followed Xiao Ce and said, "Brother Ce, you should get some rest..."

Xiao Ce said to Kimberly, "Brother Kimberly, those William Armiten and Sean Jolton, they didn't do anything, did they...?"

Kimberly nodded: "They're busy dealing with John Jonard and his gang...they don't even consider you a threat..."

Xiao Ce nodded in agreement: "That's fine then..."

Seeing that Xiao Ce still looked somewhat weak, Kimberly said to him, "Brother Ce, you don't need to worry about these things for now... You should rest well..."

"I'll take care of everything!"

Kimberly actually had other things to say, but seeing Xiao Ce's expression, he kept quiet.

In fact, with the availability of various antibiotics in later generations, this fever may not be a big deal.

However, in ancient times, especially in the West, this kind of medical care was far behind that of the Xiao Kingdom.

The traditional Chinese medicine theories of Xiao Kingdom were systematic, and there were also some miraculous doctors. In fact, they were comparable to the medical skills of later generations.

Western medicine, on the other hand, is purely a matter of who has the stronger constitution...

After Kimberly left, Boudica went up to him and fetched water, and helped Xiao Ce wipe himself down to cool him down.

Xiao Ce smiled and said to Boudica, "It's alright, I'll be fine after a nap..."

Despite saying this, Xiao Ce knew in his heart that it was all because of the strange dream he had last night.

Xiao Ce's health has always been very good.

Da Lei went out to check again, and Boudica watched him bustling around.

He then asked Xiao Ce, "Ce, what is Mr. Da Lei looking for?"

Xiao Ce smiled as he watched Da Lei bustling about, then replied to Boudica, "That's right... he's catching ghosts..."

"Ghost hunting?"

Clearly, she was somewhat surprised, as she had actually heard some talk of ghosts and gods while in the Xiao Kingdom.

Xiao Ce chuckled, "Alright... just kidding... By the way, Boudica, I'm a little tired right now, I need to sleep for a while..."

Boudica nodded and said gently to Xiao Ce, "Ce, you can sleep peacefully. I'll be right next to you."

Xiao Ce didn't know if the medicine was working or if he was just too tired.

She fell asleep shortly afterward...

Xiao Ce slept in a daze for three days. When he woke up during that time, Boudika stayed by his side.

After feeding Xiao Ce some food, Xiao Ce continued to sleep.

Three days later, Xiao Ce woke up early in the morning.

Boudica and Da Rai were both in his room.

Boudica was clearly worried that his fever would recur, so she stayed by his side to take care of him.

Da Lei had clearly listened to Xiao Ce's words and was also worried that the 'dream' would reappear, so they stayed by his side closely.

After Xiao Ce woke up, he moved slightly.

Boudica woke up: "Ce, you're awake."

These three days have made Boudica look quite haggard.

After Boudica spoke, Da Lei also woke up.

Da Lei was probably used to it; he acted as if nothing had happened.

Xiao Ce nodded: "Boudica, I'm fine... Go and get some rest. Don't overwork yourself. There's still a lot you need to do in the future..."

As Boudica spoke, she reached out her slender hand and touched Xiao Ce's forehead.

I checked Xiao Ce's body temperature again and again...

After confirming that Xiao Ce's fever had subsided, Boudica didn't force herself to stay calm: "Then... Ce, if you need anything, just come find me..."

Xiao Ce nodded: "Go get some sleep... things have been quite turbulent outside these days."

Boudica smiled; indeed, many things had been discovered outside recently.

She was just about to speak.

Xiao Ce interrupted Boudica, saying, "No need, you don't need to worry about it... You should rest well these days, leave the rest to me..."

After listening to Xiao Ce's words, Boudica nodded with a smile, and the furrowed brows that had been tightly furrowed relaxed.

Boudica was really worried sick about him a few days ago.

After all, Xiao Ce had a persistent high fever and remained unconscious... He was terrified that Xiao Ce would die.

If Xiao Ce were truly dead, she didn't know what would happen...

However, she knew very well that in such chaos, it would be difficult for him to even protect himself, let alone anything else.

Now that Xiao Ce has recovered, her support and reliance have returned...

Thinking of this, she couldn't be happier...

After she left.

Da Lei then stepped forward and asked Xiao Ce, "My lord, are you alright?"

Xiao Ce nodded to Da Lei: "You don't seem too worried."

Da Lei chuckled: "Because I've confirmed that what you described wasn't a dream... I've examined this window and the facade, and I'm almost certain that person climbed in from the outside with their bare hands... As for how they got in through the window, I haven't figured it out yet. But now I'm almost certain it was the Mad Taoist's doing. Because no one else could have done something like that..."

Xiao Ce asked, puzzled, "Aren't you afraid I'll die?"

Da Lei said, "I also think your high fever was caused by them, after all, you're in very good health. And if they wanted to kill you, they would have done it on the spot... So, since they didn't kill you, I don't think you'll die... Besides, sir, you're a lucky person, I think it wouldn't be easy for you to die..."

Although Da Lei spoke bluntly, upon closer reflection, that's indeed what he meant...

After all, if someone wanted to take his life, no one would know; killing him would be done without anyone noticing...

His fever now probably has little to do with them...
