Palace.
After Prince Rui returned to his mansion, he was in a daze.
"Where is my son? Why isn't he in the palace?"
Prince Rui counted the days since he left and it felt like not that long had passed. He remembered that before he left, he left enough spiritual energy for "Blessing", enough for his son to use for three months. Now, less than half a month had passed, so why had the energy of "Blessing" been exhausted?
What did your son do?
Prince Rui was confused as he injected spiritual power into "Blessing" again.
The servant said, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince said he wanted to be a gentleman and join the army, so he went to the barracks..."
"That's just nonsense!"
Prince Rui's forehead was throbbing with veins when he heard this. With his son's frail body, could he withstand the high-intensity training in the military camp?
Also, which general is so tired of living that he dares to let the Crown Prince serve as a soldier?
Prince Rui was furious and slapped the servant who had spoken to him to death. He turned to the guard next to him and said, "Go on!"
The guard spoke very quickly, reporting, "His Royal Highness has a fever in the barracks, so the Fourth Prince has taken him away to be cared for."
"The Fourth Prince?" Prince Rui was not worried that anyone in the royal family would harm his son. As long as he was alive, the royal family would not dare to harm his son. But what he couldn't understand was when did the Fourth Prince have such a good relationship with his son and even took his son away to take care of him?
Prince Rui came to the Fourth Prince's Mansion.
Jun Qingguo was peeling an apple for Yuan Zhan.
"Yuan Zhan, eating more fruits is good for your health. What kind of small animals do you like? I can peel an apple into the shape you like." Jun Qingguo asked.
Yuan Zhan said expressionlessly, "I like dung beetles. Can you carve it into the shape of a dung beetle?"
Jun Qingguo: "..."
To be honest, he had never seen a dung beetle.
Jun Qingguo put down the peeled apple and said, "It's okay if you don't like apples. I can buy you other fruits."
Yuan Zhan said, "I don't want to eat. I just want to go back to training."
Jun Qingguo said, "You are sick and cannot be tired. You should listen to the doctor's advice and get more rest to reduce fatigue. I will make you some pear soup to reduce internal heat..."
Hearing this, Prince Rui couldn't help but nodded. He felt that the Fourth Prince was a good person and a friend worth making close friends with. It was just that his son's attitude was too annoying.
"Ahem."
Prince Rui cleared his throat and pushed the door open.
"Your Highness?" Jun Qingguo was peeling a pear when he heard a noise. He turned around and saw that it was Prince Rui coming. Jun Qingguo immediately stood up from his seat, thinking that the guards in his mansion were almost just decorations in front of Prince Rui. Prince Rui had even run to the door of his room, but no one came to report.
"Your Highness the Fourth Prince, thank you for your hard work." Prince Rui said politely with a faint smile on his face.
"It's not hard." Jun Qingguo handed over the half-peeled pear and asked, "Do you want to eat it?"
"No." Prince Rui said as he pulled his son out of the quilt. Yuan Zhan was wearing a snow-white inner garment. The fabric was silky and soft and felt very good. Prince Rui noticed that he was actually fatter than before. It was obvious that the Fourth Prince did not treat his son badly.
"The king will send a thank-you gift in a few days," said Prince Rui.
"No need, this is what I should do..." Jun Qingguo said. In fact, he had long been tired of Yuan Zhan in his heart, but he took such good care of Yuan Zhan because of his father's order.
Prince Rui was about to grab his son and leave faster, but Yuan Zhan put on his coat, slowly adjusted his collar, and said, "I want to go by myself."
Prince Rui said to his son, "You are walking too slowly."
Yuan Zhan said, "Father, a gentleman should behave in a dignified manner and support himself."
Prince Rui was full of questions, "What did you call me?"
I used to call him "Father King", but today it became "Father, Sir"?
Also, what is a "gentleman"?
Has my son been possessed by another spirit?
Prince Rui reached out to touch Yuan Zhan's forehead. Yuan Zhan had a fever before, but when Prince Rui reactivated "Blessing", Yuan Zhan's body recovered to health. However, Yuan Zhan had been lying in bed for a long time and was lazy. He did not notice the changes in his body and was only concerned with dealing with Jun Qingguo.
"Don't worry, father. I've been doing well lately."
Prince Rui: “…” Something is wrong with his son!
In front of outsiders, Prince Rui was not in a position to say anything more. He simply grabbed his son's collar and said goodbye to Jun Qingguo, "I am leaving."
Jun Qingguo nodded and said, "Okay."
"Put me down!" Yuan Zhan reacted fiercely. "In broad daylight, under clear sky, how dare my father walk around holding my child by the collar? How disgraceful!"
"Zhan'er, if you continue to talk nonsense like this, I will beat you."
Anyway, I have "Blessing", so I can beat my son without worrying about hurting him...
Yuan Zhan said calmly, "Father, what you're doing is wrong. An upright gentleman shouldn't use threats to educate his son. As the saying goes, a gentleman uses words, not fists..."
Prince Rui could no longer tolerate this. He patted Yuan Zhan on the back twice and said, "Stop mentioning the word 'gentleman'. Don't I know your true nature? Now that we're just father and son, there's no need to use those flowery, hypocritical words. Just be yourself."
Yuan Zhan said, "No, I'm serious."
Prince Rui: “…”
There must be something wrong with my son. Maybe he's been hypnotized...
However, Prince Rui was not good at solving problems like hypnosis. He opened "Blessing" and found no spell to solve hypnosis, so he could only bring his son to the Eternal Hand.
"My two lords, what may I do for you?"
Prince Rui asked, "Do you have anyone here who is good at removing hypnosis?"
"No."
Prince Rui had no choice but to take his son to several other pharmacies and clinics to have Yuan Zhan treated with acupuncture, but the results were not ideal. Yuan Zhan still wanted to be a gentleman.
Prince Rui was very tired. He brought his son back to the mansion, and the father and son remained silent.
After a while, Yuan Zhan said, "Father, in this life, money and power are external things. Only the knowledge you have learned and your noble character belong to you. I have made many mistakes in the past, but now I have come to realize my mistake..."
Prince Rui nodded perfunctorily, thinking, "Who hypnotized my son? Could it be... a demon?"
It must have been done by the demons!
The demons had attacked him before, so who else could it be but the demons?
However, with Prince Rui's current abilities, he was completely unable to find out who the shameful demon hiding in the dark was. Prince Rui decided to change the subject. He thought for a moment and asked, "How are things going between you and Lan Zhi?"
