Chapter 86 See how you can still compete with the prince
Chu Heng shook his head slightly, his expression calm: "My life is worthless, it's not worth mentioning. I just hope that the prince can treat my master well."
Upon hearing this, the people present all looked at this insignificant servant with a different eye, admiring his loyalty and righteousness.
Jing Siye thought for a moment and said, "Doctor Chen just prescribed a few medicines. Let's give them to him first. Lu Bo has a strong inner strength, so maybe he can make it through."
Chu Heng cupped his hands and said sincerely, "Your Highness, taking the medicine soup can only delay the onset of the disease. You must take the antidote."
Jing Siye frowned and asked again: "Do you have the prescription for this poison?"
Chu Heng looked embarrassed and answered helplessly: "No, the master of these masters only told his senior sister."
Jing Siye thought to himself: If there is a prescription, maybe I can give it to Chen Lian to research the antidote. But now it seems that we can only start with Concubine Chen.
What is the relationship between this Concubine Chen and Zhai Qing’s master?
Chu Heng looked at the hesitant Jing Siye, bowed again, and spoke earnestly:
"Your Majesty, it doesn't matter if I live one month longer or one month less. I believe that Your Majesty will keep his word and take good care of my master. Please don't delay Guard Lu's illness. If we can find our master's senior sister or master in the next few months, maybe...both Guard Lu and I can be saved."
Jing Siye was silent for a long time, and finally nodded slowly.
——
Chu Heng staggered towards the room where he was. The cold wind was howling, but he didn't feel the cold at all. He only felt that his life was quietly slipping away with each step he took.
He did not regret giving the antidote to Lu Bo, but when he thought that his master Zhai Qing would be left alone in this world after he left, he felt endless reluctance and worry in his heart.
Influenced by his master since childhood, Zhai Qing has a withdrawn personality and a somewhat aloof style of doing things, and he has no friends at all.
If I were to leave, in the days ahead, there would be no one around him to whom he could confide, and no one who could take good care of him. How lonely and desolate he would be.
After finally reaching the door, Chu Heng raised his hand, slowly pushed the door open, and walked in quietly, fearing to disturb the people inside.
"You're back?"
A cold voice broke the silence. Zhai Qing's voice came from the bed, with a hint of barely perceptible fatigue.
Chu Heng was slightly startled, and replied softly: "Yeah."
Zhai Qing paused, then asked, "Lu Bo, was it the Soul Shattering Powder that hit you?"
"Yeah." Chu Heng responded simply, his voice so low that it was almost inaudible.
"So, you asked the Second Prince to give him the antidote?"
Chu Heng was silent for a moment, then uttered two words with difficulty: "...Yes."
When Zhai Qing heard this, he felt a sharp pain in his heart. He subconsciously turned around and faced Chu Heng with his back, not wanting him to see his expression at the moment.
For a moment, the room was so quiet that the only sound could be heard was Zhai Qing's suppressed sobs.
Chu Heng stood there, at a loss as to what to do. He wanted to comfort her but didn't know where to start.
After a long while, Chu Heng mustered up his courage and walked towards the bed step by step, taking off his robe as he walked...
Zhai Qing felt the bed beside him sink, so he turned over and looked at Chu Heng. Just as he was about to speak, Chu Heng sealed his mouth with his lips.
Chu Heng's kiss was unfamiliar and a bit overbearing, and Zhai Qing's heartbeat suddenly quickened.
He resisted at first, but gradually, his body began to respond.
He slowly raised his hand and gently placed it on Chu Heng's back, his fingertips trembling slightly. Chu Heng felt Zhai Qing's response and became more and more outrageous.
For a moment, the shaking of the bed and the dull panting sounds made this remote and desolate yard more lively.
…
Zhu Wenshi returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, covering his swollen face, followed by several followers who were staggering as they walked.
As soon as he entered the mansion, he walked towards the prime minister's main courtyard wailing. Seeing him like this, Prime Minister Wei couldn't help but sigh and shake his head. Otherwise, seeing that this man had some family background and his little daughter couldn't get married, he would never let such a man be his son-in-law.
Prime Minister Wei asked angrily: "Who did you offend again?"
Zhu Wenshi cried even louder: "It was my brother Zhu Wenqin who sent people to beat me in the street. Father-in-law, please help me."
Prime Minister Wei: "Since he is your brother...what?"
Prime Minister Wei suddenly caught some important information.
"Who do you say your brother is?"
Zhu Wenshi: "It's Zhu Wenqin."
Prime Minister Wei: "Are you talking about the little guard beside Jing Siye?"
Zhu Wenqin: “…”
"What? You said that the imposing man next to him is... the Second Prince?"
Prime Minister Wei lowered his eyes and took a deep breath. From what he heard, this description was probably correct.
"The guards around him are all very distinctive in appearance and very skilled, right?"
Zhu Wenshi opened his mouth and nodded woodenly: What did my father-in-law just say? Jing Siye, the second prince, no wonder that man didn't even take the Prime Minister's Mansion seriously, it turned out to be the decisive and murderous King Zhaonan,
——It’s over.
Zhu Wenshi felt a dark sensation in front of his eyes, and he wanted to confirm it without giving up.
"Father-in-law, you just said that my brother is now following... the Second Prince."
Prime Minister Wei glanced at him and said, "I have never met him. I only know that the Second Prince has a little guard named Zhu Wenqin, who is extremely favored. The Second Prince even beat the concubine given by the Queen Mother for him, and now she is unconscious."
When Zhu Wenshi heard this, his legs and feet went weak: "Father-in-law, you have to save me. If I offend King Zhaonan, I will lose my life one day. Your daughter will be heartbroken..."
Prime Minister Wei glared at him, but didn't reply. He turned away, twirling his beard and thinking:
If the little guard beside the Second Prince is really this guy's brother, then he is Li Xiao's nephew. Li Xiao is guilty of treason and the Second Prince is hiding his nephew. Hum...
Wei Yue turned around and said to Zhu Wenshi in a deep voice: "Alright, go down. I know what to do now. Be more obedient in the future and avoid causing trouble."
Zhu Wenshi quickly nodded and bowed as he retreated. After he left, Wei Yue sneered:
Jing Siye, let’s see how you can compete with the prince.
