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

Xiao Ce nodded, then looked at the jade thumb ring beside his bed.

He picked it up instinctively: "You think he wouldn't have missed this one?"

After listening to Xiao Ce's words, Da Lei nodded: "It's definitely not an oversight; it was clearly placed intentionally..."

"Sir, are you feeling unwell? I've examined your body, and it doesn't seem like you've been poisoned... I've also checked this area, and there's no sign of anything being tampered with. You mentioned that person who looks exactly like you touched your head all night. While you were unconscious, I checked your head, and there were no wounds..."

"You know, they couldn't have just sent you a ring... Besides, there must be some reason why he touched your head all night..."

Xiao Ce got up and moved around to make sure there was nothing wrong with his body.

He examined the jade thumb ring repeatedly, but there was nothing wrong with it.

Da Lei said that he also had those in the Shadow Guards who were skilled in using poison come and check it, and there was nothing wrong with the jade thumb ring.

Xiao Ce was indeed exhausted; he had probably expended too much energy and effort, which was why he looked like this.

Xiao Ce put the jade thumb ring on his hand: "Who cares... are you sure this thing was left by my uncle?"

Da Lei nodded very firmly and said yes.

Xiao Ce simply put it on him.

Da Lei looked at Xiao Ce with some confusion and said, "My lord, this..."

Xiao Ce said with a smile, "If he dares to send it over, I dare to wear it... Besides, to be honest, my uncle was a king who controlled a town, and he died too tragically... I didn't keep anything from him... Since this has come all the way to my side... this is fate... I'll wear it as a memento."

Da Lei nodded and said to Xiao Ce, "Not bad... fate... fate..."

Xiao Ce asked, "Are you sure it's dangerous?"

Da Lei nodded: "I've already had someone check it, and it's definitely not harmful... But as for whether they have other intentions in letting it in, I have no idea..."

Xiao Ce nodded: "Okay... I understand..."

As he spoke, Xiao Ce put it on directly.

Then Xiao Ce asked Da Lei, "By the way, Da Lei, what happened while I was unconscious?"

After listening to Xiao Ce's words, Da Lei said, "My lord, many things have indeed happened during your days of recuperation. First of all, under the presiding judge's questioning, William Cam and Targaryen Isa were declared innocent. They have been released on bail."

"Moreover, the royal family of William and the Targaryen family are about to sue the gladiatorial arena... for allegedly maliciously auctioning off the castle."

"Not only that, they became even more like mad dogs, biting John Jonard, Rusty, Gallux, Aurelius, and the Jaeger family. They all said these people had betrayed them."

"Those William Cam and Targaryen Isa frantically accused them, they tricked them, they explicitly stated that they conspired with Lady Boudica to swindle them..."

“John Jonard and his family members were all called in by the judges for questioning, but since they all gave the same story, it was clear that they didn’t get anything out of them. Since they couldn’t get any information from them, they wanted to get information from you... However, you weren’t feeling well at the time, so they didn’t come.”

"Mr. Kimberly defied all objections and didn't let anyone come, but those people did go to great lengths to get the presiding judge to come. After consulting with us, Mr. Kimberly did let the presiding judge come once. Seeing that you had a very high fever, he didn't come over again."

"However, the two sides are constantly engaged in open and covert struggles, and are even trying to obstruct the castle's transactions... which is why our people dare not go there now..."

After hearing Da Lei's account, Xiao Ce was still somewhat surprised: "Oh? They're so arrogant... daring to cause trouble even in Lingas City..."

Da Lei said, "The main city management council has also spoken out. This castle is controversial... The city management council's idea is to temporarily put the controversy aside, clarify the matter first, and then activate it. The party that loses in the future will compensate for the losses incurred during this period."

"But the city lord's council is essentially just offering suggestions...and it's clear that neither side is accepting them. Since they're not accepting suggestions, then they're just going to fight each other...and they seem to have reached a tacit agreement that as long as it involves that matter, within the castle grounds, any friction to a certain extent will simply be ignored..."

"In this way, the people of the British royal family, William, are just using the power of the powerful as a pretext... And John Jonard and his group are even more shrewd. Seeing that we are now hiding like cowards, they want to shift the blame to others... After all, the castle has been given to us now, the contract has been signed, and the shareholding has been determined... so they simply don't care anymore."

"They don't care, but the Dark Light brand needs to be pushed forward, and our people don't dare offend them... so they've been driven away by them several times. We went to the police station, but they said it was also the higher-ups' order... so the castle matter has been put on hold..."

Xiao Ce listened and asked, "Is this case still progressing? Hasn't the gunman tried to implicate John Jonard and his group?"

Da Lei nodded: "Actually, I don't know the specifics either... It seems to be an implicator, but the testimonies of those hired gunmen are no longer reliable... Mr. Kimberly probably knows more about the details... I've only heard some of it..."

Xiao Ce had already changed his clothes when he heard what Da Lei said.

After washing up, I felt refreshed and energetic again.

Boudica took good care of him and fed him very nutritious food. He was not very weak after being unconscious for three days.

After leaving the house, I went straight to find Jin Hulk.

Jin Haoke saw Xiao Ce come downstairs and looked like he'd seen a ghost.

He rushed up in a hurry and pulled Xiao Ce aside.

"Oh my... sir, why did you come down... are you alright?"

Xiao Ce nodded: "That's right, you've been lying in bed on and off for almost five days now... If you keep lying down, you'll almost degenerate... Why are you so nervous?"

Jin Haoke said, "There are at least seven or eight families guarding you here..."
