"You said before that their lives are connected?" Jing Kai suddenly spoke.
His brows were furrowed. He didn't believe it at first, and he was still a little skeptical until the moment he asked the question, but he still asked it.
The old woman rushed to Jing Kai with excitement, but Jing Kai thought she was dirty and took a few steps back.
The old woman didn't care. She took a step back and said to Jing Kai, "Who's in trouble now? If the injured or sick one isn't treated in time, I'm afraid the other one, even if he's healthy, will develop the same symptoms as the other and die slowly."
Jing Kai stared at the old woman intently, making it impossible for her to lie even if she wanted to.
But he didn't see any uneasiness or anything else in the old woman's eyes, which was enough to prove that the old woman was not lying.
She had told him this before, and it seemed to be true.
After confirming this, Jing Kai asked again, "Since you said they are related, can you find the other person through one?"
No one is sure what the situation is at the bottom of the cliff now.
If he took an unconventional approach and used the old woman to rescue Xie Yunjiao, he could also make up for his mistake.
"Of course you can, but..." The old woman looked at Jing Kai hesitantly.
Jing Kai didn't even frown. He said to the old woman, "How much do you want? Tell me."
The old woman waved her hands hurriedly. She was not stupid enough to talk about money with Jing Kai at this time.
I’m afraid that if the person can’t be saved, she will have money but no life to spend it all!
Jing Kai frowned and looked at the old woman unhappily. If she didn't want money, then what did she want?
Giving him money is the best solution, he doesn't need that little money.
What I fear most is that she is not satisfied.
"If I help you rescue that person, you will let me go." The old woman licked her lips nervously and looked at Jing Kai cautiously.
Although she has good food and accommodation here, this kind of life cannot last long.
If she is no longer useful, she will most likely be discarded like before.
In order to silence her, that person threw her into the death row of Baiyue State, causing her to live a life worse than death for several years.
She had already made a stupid mistake once and didn't want to make it again!
Jing Kai replied, "Okay, as long as you can rescue the person, I will agree to any conditions you ask."
Without having to think or measure, he knew exactly what was most important to him.
Even if I can't help Xie Yunjiao restore her identity as a princess, it doesn't matter, as long as Xie Yunjiao can return safely.
Hearing Jing Kai's agreement, the old woman secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Jing Kai glanced at the old woman coldly and said, "Don't try to deceive me, or your fate will be even worse than it is now."
The old woman was startled. She nodded hurriedly and said, "Even if I had several lives, I would not dare to tease you, my lord."
Jing Kai snorted coldly and said, "That's the best."
The old woman said to Jing Kai, "My Lord, there is one more thing."
"explain!"
Jing Kai thought that it was true that human greed was unsatisfactory. Now let's wait and see what other requests she would make.
"My Lord, please don't misunderstand me. I just want to tell you that although the fates of those two people are closely linked, the distance between them makes their influence smaller.
Unless they are close, the closer they are, the greater the impact.
It's like if your house is on fire in Baiyue, no matter how fierce the fire is, it can't spread to Jiuzhou all at once, right?"
Seeing Jing Kai's expression change, the old woman hurriedly said, "I'm not very good at speaking. I'm not really cursing your house for trouble. I just racked my brains to come up with this explanation."
Jing Kai raised his hand to interrupt the old woman. He said to her, "What if her condition is very bad, her face is as pale as paper, her pulse is getting weaker and weaker, and no medicine can cure her?"
"Then the other person must be near her, definitely not too far away." said the old woman.
Jing Kai still didn't believe it, so he asked again, "Are you sure?"
"It's absolutely true!" said the old woman.
Jing Kai's eyes turned cold, and he carefully recalled everything that happened yesterday, and finally thought of some clues!
He thought Xie Xiuer had been pestering him all the time, and seeing that he was anxious to leave, she forced him to stay and said a lot of nonsense.
He originally thought that Xie Xiuer was just being petty and was jealous of him and Xie Yunjiao being close.
Now I think that's not the case. She was clearly trying to delay time so that her people could act more conveniently.
Although there are still many doubts about this matter, he still has the answer in his heart.
"Okay, then come with me to the palace right now," Jing Kai said.
He didn't want to delay any longer, not even for a moment.
The longer it takes, the worse Xie Yunjiao's condition will become!
When the old woman heard that she was going to enter the palace, she trembled with fear.
How could someone like her enter the palace casually? She could lose her head at any time. She couldn't do such a thing!
Jing Kai knew that the old woman was scared, but even if she was scared, he would still take her to the palace.
"Why weren't you afraid when we did this? Now you're afraid? I'm telling you, whether you like it or not, you have to come with me into the palace."
Jing Kai paused and continued, "If you had come with me, you might have survived. But if you didn't go, you would have died now!"
The old woman was so frightened by the murderous intent in Jing Kai's eyes that her whole body trembled. She hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to Jing Kai, asking him to spare her life.
Jing Kai did not allow any explanation and ordered his followers to capture the old woman and send her to the palace.
When Jing Kai arrived at the palace, the guards at the palace gate stopped him and prevented him from getting any closer.
"My Lord, please don't make things difficult for us. The King said you can't go in."
Jing Kai thought about what happened today when he met the King of Baiyue. He just warned him, so why did he suddenly not let him in?
Could something have happened in there?
"What exactly happened in there? Tell me!" Jing Kai shouted.
The guard had a determined look on his face and turned his head away, not looking at Jing Kai.
It was as if by doing this, Jing Kai would no longer exist.
"Has something happened to my aunt? If anything happens to her, I will not let you go!" Jing Kai said.
"Your Highness is so arrogant! The entire Baiyue Kingdom belongs to the King, so we naturally have to listen to the King.
"Does the Crown Prince want to replace the King and become the new master of Baiyue?" The chief guard suddenly came out and said to Jing Kai.
The man looked Jing Kai up and down, his face full of pride.
At this moment, he looked at Jing Kai as if he were a drowned dog, wishing he could step on him immediately.
Jing Kai had a conflict with this steward before, and Jing Kai used his power to punish that person, so that person held a grudge and had been looking for an opportunity to take revenge.
Now that he finally had the chance, he naturally didn't want to let it go.
He wants to give the fallen dog a beating!
