Chapter 549 Don't Let Him Come Back Alive

A smile flashed across Chu Jiuqing's eyes. This girl had been pretending for so long, and now she felt tired.

Qing girl, Qingqing sister, it seems that neither of them is as kind as my wife.

But now he is no longer stupid. If he calls her that again, she will definitely be angry.

I really want to go back to those carefree months, plain but warm...

But it’s not possible now, his status does not allow him to act recklessly.

"Okay, I'll call you Qing girl from now on, but I do have a request. Please don't call me Prince Ning. It sounds too strange."

"What should I call you then?"

"And call me Xiaoyu. It sounds familiar to me."

Hearing Chu Jiuqing say this, Chen Qingqing hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Okay then, when no one is around I'll call you Xiaoyu, and when there are people around I'll call you King Ning."

"Okay, let's do as you say." Chu Jiuqing smiled and nodded repeatedly, "Qing girl, there is no time to lose, let's set off immediately!"

"What, leaving now?" Chen Qingqing was stunned.

Chu Jiuqing's face was full of solemnity. "The journey is long, and my father's condition is critical. We really can't afford any delay. I hope you can understand."

"This is too hasty! No matter what, I have to go home and say hello to my parents. If they can't find me, they'll be worried."

"Well, go say goodbye to your family so they don't worry."

Shengjing, Kyoto.

"Your Highness, the Yangxin Palace has been surrounded by the Dragon Shadow Secret Guards. Our people can't get in at all." The palace commander Lin Xiaotian knelt in front of Chu Jinxuan.

Chu Jinxuan frowned, a fierce look flashing across his eyes, "What are you all doing? You can't even handle such a small matter. You are really a bunch of useless people!"

Lin Xiaotian shuddered. "Your Highness, calm down. The Emperor has been poisoned by Ziyou's Western Region Blood Coagulation Powder. Even if a Daluo Immortal were to come, there would be no way to save him. Even if the Dragon Shadow Secret Guards don't withdraw, he probably won't survive more than half a month."

"That's what you all said when Chu Jiuqing was poisoned. Not only did he return unharmed, he also found a lot of evidence against me. Luckily, I was able to hold Emperor Chu back with poison, otherwise, I, the Crown Prince, would have been dead long ago."

Chu Jinxuan had a gloomy face and was feeling uneasy. He asked again,

"Has Chu Jiuqing been active lately?"

"Your Highness, Chu Jiuqing left Kyoto half a month ago. According to informants, he seems to be heading towards Anyang."

Chu Jinxuan was furious when he heard this. "You useless people, why didn't you report such a big thing earlier?"

Lin Xiaotian hurriedly replied truthfully, "Your Highness, I've been here a few times. You've been having a deep conversation with the beauties sent by the Northern Barbarians recently, and no one is allowed to interrupt you. I'm also..."

Chu Jinxuan's face was dark. He had indeed neglected his important work in the past half month. It was all because the beauty from the Northern Yi Kingdom was too enchanting, making him not want to get out of bed.

He waved his hand and said, "Forget it. I am also responsible for this matter. But what is Chu Jiuqing's purpose in going to Anyang?"

"The information I received seems to be that they went to consult a miracle doctor, who is said to be the one who detoxified him."

"Those Anyang losers, I've really wasted their time raising them. After investigating for so long, they still haven't killed the person who ruined my plan." Chu Jinxuan's face was gloomy. "Pass the order, those Anyang losers are no longer useful."

Lin Xiaotian hesitated and said stubbornly, "Your Highness, absolutely not. Now is the time to use people. If you kill them, Your Highness will be labeled a tyrant, which will be detrimental to your cause!"

Chu Jinxuan's face was cold and cruel, "In that case, let's spare their lives first."

"Thank you for your mercy, Your Highness." Lin Xiaotian wiped the sweat from his face and said flatteringly, "Your Highness, don't worry. I have ordered the Black and White Demons and Ziyou to intercept us along the way. As soon as Prince Ning shows up, he will be killed."

Chu Jinxuan narrowed his cold eyes, "Alright, send a few more waves of assassins. We must not let Chu Jiuqing return to Kyoto alive."

"Yes, I obey your command." Lin Xiaotian took the order and left.

Chu Jinxuan exuded a chill. "My dear third brother, don't blame me for being cruel. If you want to blame someone, blame that old fool. He actually wanted to depose me and make you the crown prince. If you hadn't threatened my position as crown prince, I wouldn't have regarded you as such a thorn in my side..."

Nanshan Village.

When everyone heard the news that Chen Qingqing was going to Kyoto to treat patients, they were reluctant to let her go.

Lin's eyes were red, and she held a small bundle tightly in her hand, which was filled with clothes and dry food she prepared for her daughter.

"Qing girl, the journey is long and arduous. You must take good care of yourself. When you arrive in Kyoto, you must be careful and cautious in everything you do and not act rashly."

Chen Qingqing stepped forward and said softly, "Don't worry, mother. With His Royal Highness Prince Ning by my side, he will definitely protect me."

Although there was worry in Chen Zhanshan's eyes, it was more of a trust in his daughter. "Qing girl, now that you are in Kyoto, you are a noble and respected person. You must not be careless when treating patients. Just do your best."

Lin nodded slightly, "Remember to write home to let us know you're safe and well, and come back soon after you've cured your illness."

"I will."

At this time, tears were welling up in Chen Han's eyes, but he was trying hard to hold them back, looking like a man.

The misfortune that befell the Chen family made him realize how difficult it was for his sister to lead her family from nothing to a life that everyone envied.

But my sister is a woman after all. Although she is very capable and smarter than everyone in the family,

But if there is no one to intimidate this huge family business, it may be targeted by evil people.

Although Xiaoyu is the King of Ning, he is not a relative after all.

He swore in his heart that he would study hard, pass the imperial examination as soon as possible, and be a good brother who could protect his sister.

"Sister, we are waiting for you to come back."

Chen Qingqing boarded the carriage and then the sedan chair that had been prepared long ago. Accompanied by a dozen guards, the carriage left Nanshan Village.

The carriage went farther and farther away. Chen Qingqing looked at her family's gradually blurred figures, feeling reluctant to leave.

But she knew that this trip to Kyoto was full of uncertainties and unknowns, but she definitely had to go.

Although Chu Jiuqing was extremely anxious and wanted to rush back to Kyoto as soon as possible, he knew the hardship of the long journey.

In order to keep Chen Qingqing in good condition, he tried his best to arrange a comfortable itinerary.

The carriage galloped along the official road, raising dust all the way.

Chen Qingqing sat in the car, looking at the scenery rapidly receding outside the window, feeling somewhat uneasy.

The emperor is the top figure standing at the top of the power pyramid, holding the power of life and death in his hands. His words are like imperial decrees, and he can do whatever he wants.

It's good that the emperor's life can be cured this time. If not, there will be troubles.

Forget it, since it has come, let's make the best of it.

If that really happens, the best thing to do is to find a way to escape...

Chu Jiuqing saw that she looked a little worried and quickly spoke to comfort her, "Qing girl, don't be too nervous. No one can hurt you with me here. I believe in your medical skills. Father's illness will definitely be cured."

Chen Qingqing just smiled and said nothing...
