Chapter 700: A Rage for a Beauty
Xiao Kun sneered, "What plans do I have? Of course I'll wait until you conquer the world. By then, I'll be the crown prince, and it won't be easy for me to get a woman."
Prince Yong looked helpless. "You keep getting more and more crazy as you get older. What can I say? Zhao Shen will find out about this soon. Be careful."
Xiao Kun narrowed his eyes and asked, "This place is so secretive, how did he find out?"
Prince Yong said, "Many pirates have fallen into his hands. With so many people, it's not possible that they all know nothing. You must be prepared and ready to eliminate him at any time. If he is alive, the girl from the Ji family will not be at ease staying by your side. I heard that she hasn't even given you a look these days."
Xiao Kun said angrily, "Don't worry about my affairs. You should think about what to do if Zhao Shen brings his men here and wipes out your lair."
Prince Yong said in a gentle voice, "Look forward to me, okay? You are my son, and everything I have will be yours. If I lose, what good will it do you?"
Xiao Kun habitually felt nauseous when he heard this. He no longer had any patience for this so-called father.
He stood up and said, "There's no harm in that. None of this is what I want anyway."
He walked out after he finished speaking, but when he reached the door he suddenly stopped and looked back: "Honestly, next time, find a place with a better climate to hide. It's hot and humid here. There's a reason why no one was here before."
Simply put, this is no place for people.
Seeing him disappear, Prince Yong could no longer maintain his gentle expression.
He was already used to Xiao Kun's various sarcasm towards him, but today's words still made him a little upset.
He grew up in the capital and later went to his fiefdom Yongzhou.
He spent the rest of his life there.
Yongzhou is located in the northwest, with cold winters, strong winds and sandstorms, and a dry climate.
He has become accustomed to that kind of climate.
He was actually the one who was least able to adapt here.
The hot, damp, sticky feeling all over his body was driving him crazy.
But is there any way?
This is what he has carefully selected over the years.
Now, it has become his hiding place.
This represents his continuous retreat.
He took a moment to adjust his emotions, and when he calmed down, he asked, "What do you think?"
Someone appeared silently behind him, obviously an expert: "The prince has been trying hard to make that girl happy these past few days. He cares about her very much."
Prince Yong sneered, "Yes, I never thought he was such a passionate lover. He's been hiding it in the capital for so many years, and now he's throwing himself into a rage for his beloved."
His words were full of sarcasm, and his tone was no less than Xiao Kun's just now.
The man in black said, "Although the prince has seemingly done nothing over the years, he has ruined many of our plans. If it weren't for him, you wouldn't have been exposed to the emperor so quickly."
Prince Yong stroked the ring on his finger and said, "Should I say he is worthy of being my son? He actually pushed me to this point step by step."
The man seemed very dissatisfied with this: "The prince has a deep grudge against the prince, and I'm afraid he won't change his attitude easily. This is extremely disadvantageous to us."
Because this means that Xiao Kun may point the gun at them at any time.
Prince Yong said, "He was indeed a problem before, but now he has a weak spot. The girl from the Ji family is quite useful."
Not only can it threaten Xiao Kun, but also Zhao Shen, even the Ji family and the Queen Mother.
As long as he holds her in his hands, even if he really loses, he may be able to find a way out for himself in the end.
When the man wanted to remind King Yong that he needed Xiao Kun to have a weakness, Xiao Kun personally brought the weakness back.
This feels very much like a trap.
But he knew that King Yong didn't want to hear this at the moment.
Moreover, Xiao Kun's feelings for Ji Yunshu are real, and he has been keeping an eye on the two of them these days.
Xiao Kun refused to hide his edge in front of the prince, but he always acted humble in front of Ji Yunshu.
You can’t hide your love for someone.
"Zhao Shen should be arriving soon. Treat him well. Success or failure depends on this one move."
The man responded and asked, "What about the prince and Miss Ji?"
Prince Yong didn't mind: "Let it be. It may not be a bad thing. If he wants to keep him by his side, he must find a way to kill Zhao Shen. At least on this point, our goals are the same."
The man retreated respectfully.
On the other side, Xiao Kun returned to his yard, where Ji Yunshu was practicing calligraphy.
This is a new habit she has developed.
It is conducive to calming the mind and concentrating.
As usual, Xiao Kun spoke first: "Zhao Shen may be here soon."
Ji Yunshu nodded to indicate that he knew, then frowned, "But we haven't figured out the island's defenses yet. He's clueless, what if he falls headfirst into Prince Yong's trap?"
Xiao Kun sneered: "You underestimate Zhao Shen too much. If he dares to come, he will definitely be fully prepared."
Ji Yunshu was still worried. "Even the wisest man can make mistakes. He can't necessarily think of everything."
Seeing that she was constantly worried about Zhao Shen, Xiao Kun said unhappily, "Well, at this point, none of us has a way out. Zhao Shen will do his job well, and so will you. Don't forget what you are here for."
Ji Yunshu held his chin and said, "Of course I remember, but it's been so many days and I haven't even seen the shadow of Prince Yong. How can I know how he is feeling? What kind of incense he used? Where is the antidote hidden?"
Xiao Kun turned around in front of her and asked, "Don't you smell anything special?"
After hearing what he said, Ji Yunshu took the initiative to move forward and smell it, but there was no special smell.
But she quickly thought of something, sniffed it carefully, then excitedly grabbed his hand and said, "There is a very slight medicinal smell, which is covered by the ambergris, and even I almost didn't smell it.
Xiao Kun's expression became better. He suppressed his nausea and talked so much to King Yong. Finally, his efforts were not in vain.
"What medicine is it?"
This is the most important thing.
Ji Yunshu had trained her sense of smell using medicinal herbs, and she could remember almost every scent she had ever smelled.
"I smell Sichuan Fritillaria. It must be a lung problem. Did you hear him cough?"
Xiao Kun nodded: "Yes, he coughed several times, and I thought it was a cough caused by wind and heat."
Ji Yunshu said, "Of course this is possible. We'll have to investigate to find out what exactly happened."
Xiao Kun said, "This is a bit difficult. The island is full of his people. We can't do anything. Or why don't you meet him in person and make the final decision?"
Ji Yunshu: "He won't see me, right?"
You should have seen him earlier, and there would be no need to wait for so many days.
Ji Yunshu is quite interested in Prince Yong.
She felt regretful that she had gone through so much trouble but still hadn't seen the true face of Mount Lu.
Xiao Kun laughed: "If he doesn't want to see you, you can take the initiative to go see him. Think about it, you were captured here by me and have no one to turn to for help. What should you do?"
Ji Yunshu blurted out without thinking: "I'll obey you."
Xiao Kun: “…”
Ji Yunshu quickly made amends: "That's not what I meant."
She thought about it and felt that this was difficult to explain, so she returned to the original topic.
"You mean for me to ask him for help?"
