Chapter 262 The Crown Prince Can Also Stand Alone



Finally, Situ Zhao sat back down and thought for a moment after listening to her.

Ask Cui Mixue why she wanted to replace her, is there any reason? After all, she is still a woman of the underworld, not an ordinary weak woman. If the other party has some special identity, it will not end well.

Cui Mixue had nothing to hide from Situ Zhao, but she really couldn't explain this matter clearly: "How about this, I'll take you to meet that woman, and after you see her, you'll understand what's going on."

"Okay." Situ Zhao trusted Cui Mixue very much, but he didn't understand why Cui Mixue did this. Since he could see that person, he could know everything.

Xuan Ling was really trying his luck at the moment. He opened his eyes when he heard someone coming, and his eyes happened to meet Situ Zhao's.

Situ Zhao had also seen the fake Xuan Ling's appearance when she was brought back to the tent for treatment, and the two had even quarreled over it. But when he saw the person meditating in front of him, he was suddenly shocked.

"Why do these two people look so similar?" Situ Zhao said this suddenly.

Cui Mixue smiled and didn't answer the question. Instead, she asked the meditator, "Do you feel better?"

Xuan Ling was still somewhat conscious when he was unconscious. He knew that it was the woman in front of him who saved him. He just felt a little displeased when he saw these two people, but they were his saviors after all.

"I'm feeling much better now. Thank you for saving me, young lady." Xuan Ling expressed his gratitude. He glanced at Situ Zhao again and continued, "I'm sorry for disturbing you these days, but I have some things to do now, so I'm afraid I have to leave."

She had said before that she wanted to leave, but the people serving her were hesitant. She vaguely felt that the host might not let her leave.

As expected, Cui Mixue frowned after hearing the news and said, "The young lady is leaving right after waking up, but is there anything wrong with my hospitality?"

Situ Zhao, who had been watching the interaction between the two people silently, also understood why Cui Mixue wanted to keep a woman from the martial arts world by her side.

But there are still many things I don’t understand, and now doesn’t seem to be the right time to ask, so I just stand there as a wall.

"That's not the case. I will never forget the kindness you gave me in saving my life. However, I was brought here by my enemies. I'm afraid that if I stay here for too long, it will bring disaster to you."

People in the martial arts world attach great importance to gratitude. Xuan Ling thought that he was being hunted by his enemies and it would definitely not be good for the people in front of him if he stayed here for a long time. He felt something was wrong in his heart and wanted to leave as soon as possible.

Hearing this reason, Cui Mixue breathed a sigh of relief and smiled again: "Miss, you are worrying too much. There is no need to worry. This is a military camp. There are many guards to protect us. You don't have to worry about your enemies coming to find you."

"Besides, your injuries haven't healed yet. I saved your life, so naturally I would only feel at ease if I saw you leave safely. How could I abandon you out of fear at this moment?"

These words were said with great understanding. Xuan Ling felt ashamed after hearing them. He really shouldn't have had such thoughts towards his benefactor just now.

"Sorry to bother you." Xuan Ling quickly responded.

If I insist on leaving now, it would be a bit ungrateful. Besides, my injury has not healed yet, and it would not be good for me to go out like this.

"The doctor here has prescribed medicine for the girl. She has taken a lot of it since she was in a coma a few days ago. There is still a few days' supply of medicine left. I will go and get it for her."

At this moment, Xuan Ling already trusted Cui Mixue very much and did not doubt what she said at all.

After a while, Cui Mixue brought a bowl of medicine. The medicine was still warm and seemed to have been prepared for a long time. This made Xuan Ling, who was usually vigilant, not suspicious.

"These are some medicines for treating internal injuries. The girl might have suffered internal injuries. Drink a few more doses to recuperate."

Cui Mixue handed the medicine to Xuan Ling as she spoke.

"By the way, this medicine also has a lot of calming effects. The girl might become drowsy after drinking it."

As he drank, his head became more and more dizzy. When he realized something was wrong, Cui Mixue's words were undoubtedly a reassurance, allowing Xuan Ling to drink the medicine calmly and fall asleep.

"Keep an eye on her, don't let her step out of the tent!" Seeing that the person had fallen completely asleep, Cui Mixue gave orders to the followers around her.

"Let's go." The two men walked out of the tent.

"Who is the woman in the tent?" Situ Zhao held it in for a long time and finally asked the question.

"The woman in the tent is the real Xuan Ling, and the one next to Situ Yao is fake." Cui Mixue said with a smile.

He looked around and added, "This is the plan that Your Highness and I discussed before. The people around Situ Yao are my people."

This made people confused. Situ Zhao didn't understand why they did this. Why would a gangster make such a big fuss?

"What's the purpose of doing this?" Situ Zhao still asked. After all, she was just a gangster. Mobilizing such a large force seemed a little too petty.

Cui Mixue realized that Situ Zhao didn't understand, raised her eyebrows, and said in a light tone: "Don't underestimate this person, she is very useful. She will definitely become a knife for us in the future. But we must keep an eye on the real Xuan Ling. She will also be a helper for us in the future."

Situ Zhao felt a little strange when looking at the person in front of him, as if she was no longer the Cui Mixue he knew. But in the end he didn't say anything, because the two of them were originally one.

Everything she does is for her own good, she just doesn't understand. If she asks too many questions, she will appear ignorant and damage her image in this woman's heart.

Soon, Situ Yao and his men returned to the capital and passed on the news of the bandit suppression.

At the court session the next morning, the ministers learned that Situ Yao had completed the task so quickly and even recruited the emperor, which was a rare thing for their dynasty.

You must know that those bandits were against the imperial court and damaged the imperial court's prestige. But now they have surrendered, which has served as a warning to bandits in many places.

This further enhanced the prestige of the imperial court.

"This will have many benefits. I believe we should lavishly commend you and let the world know that our crown prince can be capable of leading a career on his own."

The person who said this was the Minister of Justice. He was in charge of the law and naturally cared a lot about these things.

Normally, the Second Prince's followers would have stood up to oppose, but this time they did not.

Situ Yao did a really great job in this matter, and it was so pleasing to the people that they couldn't bear to say anything more. What's more, Situ Zhao was also among this group of people. Although he was not the main force, he did make some contributions.
