Chapter 80: Arson



Inside the house, Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at Doctor Chen coldly, and gradually, his brows began to frown tightly, with beads of sweat staining his forehead.

"Oh no! The princess' poison has taken effect!" Doctor Chen stood up hastily and said to Qingqing, "Help the princess lie down quickly."

"Princess..." Qingqing whispered, and hurriedly supported Zongzheng Xiaoting towards the couch, while Wei Zixin followed closely behind with a nervous look on his face.

"You don't need to worry, it's just a small matter." Zong Zheng Xiaoting's face turned pale and he shook his head. After taking the patient's pulse, Doctor Chen's expression gradually eased.

The princess's poison was actually suppressed very well, and the pain just now was probably caused by the huge fluctuations in her emotions, which triggered the rebound of the suppressed toxin hidden in her body.

"Princess, you are poisoned, so you must not get too angry. Keep calm, so that you can slow down the frequency of the poison attacks." Doctor Chen gave instructions while giving acupuncture to Zong Zheng Xiaoting. Although Zong Zheng Xiaoting's face was pale, she was no longer sweating, and her tightly furrowed brows had relaxed a little.

"I am guilty, please forgive me, Princess!" Wei Zixin frowned and knelt down in front of Zong Zheng Xiaoting to apologize.

"Prophet Chen is sorry, Princess, please punish him." Doctor Chen was silent for a long time. Finally, for the first time, he frankly revealed his identity and knelt down in front of Zong Zheng Xiaoting.

Just now, I saw indifference and disdain in the princess' eyes. This was the first time I saw such a look in her eyes since I poisoned her. Compared with the sternness and indifference of the princess when I threatened her, this look made me feel even colder.

If the princess was still a person of flesh and blood when she was threatened, then the look she gave her just now was so cold-blooded and numb that it was as if she had no breath. Thinking about it now, it was no wonder that she was mocking and disdainful.

A person who poisoned the princess has messed up everything at this moment. Any normal person would be suspicious. And the arrogance shown by oneself is the source of the princess's ridicule, right?

Long before, when the princess asked me and Wei Zixin to be of one mind, although I understood and felt ashamed, I still did not treat Wei Zixin sincerely.

If I don't give my true heart to him, it's inevitable that Wei Zixin will doubt me. What's more, it's well known that Doctor Chen is powerless, and what about me?

"Prophet Chen?!" Wei Zixin was shocked.

"Qingqing, help me up." Zong Zheng Xiaoting said to Qingqing, and with Qingqing's help, he stood up and sat on the edge of the bed. After casting a calming look at Wei Zixin, he looked closely at the kneeling Chen Xianzhi, and said in a mocking tone: "I thought that when I came to Yunlai Inn, I couldn't listen to a single word of caution from Doctor Chen..."

Zong Zheng Xiaoting's words made Chen Xianzhi lower his head.

It turns out that the princess has been observing me all these days?

"I thought that Doctor Chen would keep himself hidden and that we couldn't have a heart-to-heart talk. If that's the case, I'll just run away from the marriage." Zong Zheng Xiaoting slowly stood up with the help of Qing Qing. "I thought that Doctor Chen would be shameless, arrogant and self-righteous, and judge others by his own standards."

While talking, Zong Zheng Xiaoting had already slowly walked to the side of the couch, and with Qingqing's help, he slowly sat down on the cushion, "Everyone, get up."

A silent sigh escaped from her red lips, and Zong Zheng Xiaoting then stopped the kneeling ceremony in front of the two people kneeling on the ground.

"Thank you, Princess!"

"I am ashamed!"

"Stand up, everyone. I want you to truly trust each other, not doubt each other." Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked down at the two of them. "No matter what happened before, since Doctor Chen can honestly tell you his identity, I will forgive him. Trust is the most important thing in making friends. My identity and status are special. Since Doctor Chen can be honest today, then, for me, it is like taking out your family's crime of deceiving the emperor. To do so, at least you trust me, don't you think?"

It turns out that this is the key point!

Yes! The compromise that the princess made for herself, after being threatened, she was not afraid of life and death, but was willing to fulfill it. It was originally based on her trust in herself. What about herself?

It seems that all the anger and resentment I've been feeling these days because of being treated like a thief by my guard is all my own fault.

Among these people, who is the least worthy of trust, if not yourself?

Chen Xianzhi curled his lips out of shame, and Zongzheng Xiaoting saw everything.

"General Wei, you just found out that Imperial Physician Chen's true identity is Prophet Chen. Why are you so shocked?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting asked.

"Princess, if I had known it was Prophet Chen, I would not have doubted his judgment of the secret guards and the authenticity of the information exchanged. Prophet Chen left with the master when he was young and rarely returned to the Chen Mansion. However, when my Wei family was transporting food and grass, it was invaded by foreign enemies. If it were not for Prophet Chen's rescue, I am afraid that all the food and grass would be lost. I believe in Prophet Chen's martial arts ability. As for exchanging information, when I saw him commanding the pangolins in battle, I naturally believed that it was possible to communicate silently without anyone noticing. However, I never thought that Prophet Chen's medical skills were so amazing."

"Oh?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting raised his eyebrows, "It seems that I have underestimated Doctor Chen."

In order to avoid embarrassment, Qingqing interrupted at the right time, "Princess, since it was all a misunderstanding, then isn't it urgent to think of a solution as soon as possible? The God of War has arrived at the border, and those secret guards must be his people. What should we do?"

Qingqing's words made everyone present serious.

However, Zong Zheng Xiaoting smiled and said, "Since Doctor Chen has already noticed it, he must have a plan to deal with it, right? Of course, I only have one request, that is, no matter whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, I want a result, that is, people must keep guessing about my life or death. As for your previous idea of ​​using the store's daughter as my substitute, I will put my words here, I will not allow you to harm any innocent person!"

"Yes!" Everyone present agreed.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting nodded with satisfaction, "Since you understand everything, then I would like to hear the details."

Chen the Prophet nodded and said, "To answer the princess, the martial arts of these secret guards are not easy to deal with. Moreover, according to my investigation, these secret guards are three layers inside and three layers outside. Each layer has a certain distance, which can maintain contact without exposing the whereabouts. It can be said that they are densely covered around like a net. If there is a conflict, I am afraid there will be accidents."

"That's right. Besides, there are people sent by my father among us, so it is not advisable to face a direct conflict." Zong Zheng Xiaoting agreed.

"So, what I want to do is to make everyone confused and then set the fire..." Chen knew it first.

set fire?

Zong Zheng Xiaoting frowned. If this were the case, wouldn't many innocent people die?
