He also couldn't understand why Ji Feng only had 100,000 soldiers under his command, while he had 200,000 soldiers back then.

In addition to the old generals left by his grandfather who secretly followed him, with nearly 300,000 soldiers in his hands, why would he treat him like this?

They had found out everything early in the morning and specially found a place next to the prince's room. He was wearing a mask, and it would be difficult to recognize him unless someone was very familiar with him.

As soon as they sat down, they heard noises from next door.

There is a secret room in this wing, and you can see what is happening next door when you go in.

The prince and Ji Feng sat down quickly. It was obvious that the prince's appearance had indeed changed compared to before.

"General Ji, how long do you plan to stay in Kyoto this time?" This was the prince's voice.

"Your Highness, I'm mainly back to visit my grandmother. I'll be returning to the frontier after the palace banquet."

"Well, how is Madam Ji's health? I need your help."

"Thank you, Your Highness. Grandmother's illness has improved a lot. She is old and her health is not as good as before."

"Hmm." The prince personally poured a glass of wine for Ji Feng. "I wonder what General Ji thinks of my last proposal."

Ji Feng looked around cautiously, and only spoke after confirming that everything was alright, "Your Highness, although my abilities are limited, I will definitely assist you to the best of my ability."

"Okay, okay, I knew you wouldn't let me down. Don't worry, I'll go to the Emperor soon and ask him to grant me a marriage with your sister."

Only after hearing this did Xiao Qingze realize that the prince had sold himself out in order to win over Ji Feng.

"Thank you very much, Your Highness."

"Well, General Ji, I heard that the Xiao family's 200,000 troops are now controlled by Xiao Ling. If you get the chance, you must have a good talk with him and tell him not to make the wrong choice."

Xiao Qingze sneered. This person was still targeting the 200,000 troops in his hands.

"Your Highness, although Xiao Ling is now the commander of the 200,000 soldiers, the military talisman is still in Xiao Qingze's hands. Xiao Ling was once his confidant, so this may not be easy."

The prince showed some impatience on his face. Wasn't it easy for him not to know that Xiao Ling had come to him several times, and every time he mentioned this matter, he would make excuses for various reasons. If it weren't for the power in his hands, he would have died in his hands long ago.

"I know that since you are all military personnel, it should be easier for you to get along with each other. I'll leave this matter to you. I believe you can do it."

The prince said, then picked up the wine on the table and said, "Come, Brother Ji."

Ji Feng had no choice but to pick up the wine glass in front of him and drink it all.

"By the way, Your Highness, what happened to Xiao Qingze? He has the military token in his hands, which is still a big problem. If he wakes up one day, then..."

"Don't worry about that. He won't wake up. As for the military talisman, he hasn't been able to find it in the past few years. I guess only he knows where it is. He is now a living dead. Father has already planned to make a new military talisman. By then, he will be useless."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is wise."

"If he hadn't been so arrogant back then, I wouldn't have treated him like this. I'm sparing his life now because of the friendship we shared through life and death."

.

Xiao Qingze left. He didn't expect that the prince's reason for treating him like this was so sloppy. But because of such a sloppy reason, he spent two years living a life worse than death.

The reason why I was always sober in the face of endless darkness and despair was precisely because of this.

"Fu Qi, go to the Imperial Hospital and ask an imperial physician to come to the mansion tomorrow."

"My Lord, are you going to..."

"It's time for me, the living dead, to come back to life."

"yes."

"Let's put the Yuan and Lin Mansions aside for now. Dig out the Crown Prince's minions one by one. This general will crush them all."

"yes."

.

The imperial physician was invited over early the next morning. This time, the imperial physician was the same one who had previously treated Xiao Qingze.

Seeing Xiao Qingze open his eyes, his hands were shaking with fear. How could this be possible? How could someone wake up after taking such a heavy dose of drugs?

"My Lord, how do you feel?"

Old Madam Xiao had been wiping her tears beside her, but it was obvious that her joy was not fake.

"Liu Imperial Physician, this morning the servants came to report that Ze Ge'er has woken up, but now he can only open his eyes and can't speak or move. Please take a look at what's going on."

Imperial Physician Liu saw that Madam Xiao did not seem to be faking it, but how did Xiao Qingze wake up? How could he explain this to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

Xiao Qingze had been observing the expression of Imperial Physician Liu. It seemed that he was the one who prescribed the medicine.

Imperial Physician Liu carefully took his pulse. Although the pulse was not right, as long as the toxicity in his body was still there, he could just add some more medicine.

"Madam Xiao, I'm sorry I can't help you. Although the Marquis can open his eyes, I'm afraid it will take some time for him to fully recover..."

"Never mind, it's good enough that he woke up. Thank you, Imperial Physician Liu."

"You are too polite, Madam. I will prescribe some medicine for you to drink. It will help you recover as soon as possible."

"Thank you very much."

Old Madam Xiao sent Imperial Physician Liu away with a look of gratitude. When she returned to the main courtyard, she saw that her grandson had already stood up.

"Brother Ze, what's wrong with you? Why can't Imperial Physician Liu see that you're fully recovered?"

Xiao Qingze looked at Rong Xi who was sitting quietly eating fruit, and then spoke to Old Madam Xiao.

"Grandmother, I was cured by a miracle doctor that Fu Qi found. Today's incident happened because I asked him to mix up my pulse so that Imperial Physician Liu couldn't detect it."

"Divine doctor, how could I not know? You should invite him out so that we can thank him properly."

"Don't worry, grandma. I've already thanked her. As for her...she can't come out to see us for the time being."

"Well then, he is our benefactor, you should thank him."

"Well, I understand, Grandma. I've already paid for everything I have."

Madam Xiao didn't hear clearly what he said, but just replied with a puzzled "Hmm?"

Rong Xi heard it clearly, which made her blush again.

When Xiao Qingze came back last night, he told him about today's plan, but the biggest problem was that all the toxins in his body had been cleared out, which would definitely arouse suspicion.

He didn't want outsiders to know his current situation, as that would only make them more wary of him.

But if he doesn't wake up, the news in the mansion may not be concealed. During this period of time, no less than ten groups of people who spread the news out of the mansion have been arrested.

When he told Rong Xi, he was planning to spread the news that he was fully recovered.

But Rong Xi said she had a way, and he had volunteered to sacrifice himself in order to repay Rong Xi.

Rong Xi gave him acupuncture early this morning, so Imperial Physician Liu couldn't see it.
