Since he was going to put on a show, he had to do it in full. Kang Shi hurried back to his room and asked someone to prepare the medicine.
He lay in bed pretending to be weak.
Then, the second prince came to Kang Shi's room under the guidance of the servant.
Kang pretended not to have expected the prince to come to his house. He was slightly surprised and stood up to salute.
But his movements were really slow, as if he was waiting for the other party to excuse him.
However, the second prince already knew that he was not ill at all, so he just stood there blankly without saying anything.
Helplessly, Xia Kangshi could only walk obediently, and pretended to be so weak that he needed two servants to support him.
"When I was healthy, I came to pay my respects to His Royal Highness Prince Jing. I was unaware of his arrival and was unable to bring my family to greet him. This is truly a grave sin of mine."
"Boss Kang, please get up. Since you are sick, you should go back to bed!"
After hearing what he said, Kang Shi lay back down unsteadily, coughing twice.
The second prince also knew some medical skills. He glanced at the medicine bowl next to him. It was just an ordinary tonic. This guy was really good at pretending.
"I don't know why Prince Jing came to my Kang family today. I'm seriously ill recently, and it's really difficult for me to take care of the household. I hope Prince Jing will forgive me if there is anything I haven't done properly."
The second prince smiled slightly, and a doctor beside him stepped forward.
"Boss Kang, don't be nervous. I know you're not in good health. I've brought a royal doctor with me today to help you recover. I also want to discuss your son's situation with you."
After seeing the imperial physician, Kang Shi couldn't help but frown, thinking that Prince Jing was really a person without good judgment.
"My illness is not serious. Why would we need to use the imperial physician?"
"It's just that there's no compassion in the doctor's heart. Boss Kang, don't mind it. Or maybe Boss Kang doesn't have any serious illness and is just making up an excuse to avoid it."
Kang Shi felt a little embarrassed when his lie was suddenly exposed so blatantly.
But it soon flashed away and he agreed with a smile.
After all, the man was old, and it was not surprising that he had some ailments. So the imperial physician examined him and gave him some advice. Overall, the doctor found that he had no major illness, but many minor ones.
"I'm truly making fun of His Royal Highness Prince Jing. I'm old now, and my body is always in trouble."
The second prince smiled and did not intend to continue targeting.
"It's okay. People eat all kinds of grains, and sometimes they feel unwell. But it seems that Boss Kang doesn't have any serious illness. Why don't we discuss your son's matter?"
Kang Shi was just about to speak when the Second Prince didn't seem to want to let him speak anymore and just continued talking.
"But it's strange that your son has been captured for so long, and as a father, you're not worried at all. Now a prince has come to your house and repeatedly mentioned your son's situation to you, and you seem to care more about your own health than your son!"
I was slightly stunned at the time. I didn't expect that Prince Jing would be so difficult to deal with.
"To be honest, Your Highness, Prince Jing, my second son has always been playful and mischievous. It's not surprising that he gets into trouble every now and then. I've long since given up on caring about him."
"Really?" The Second Prince asked back with a smile, his tone now even becoming somewhat sinister. He then asked, "What if he has committed a heinous crime punishable by the extermination of his entire clan?"
These words were like a loud bell ringing in Kang Shi's heart, causing him to shudder.
"Your Highness, Prince Jing, what do you mean by this? How could my son commit such a heinous crime that warrants the extermination of his entire clan?"
"Why not? If anyone dares to frame the current prince, the crime would be tantamount to treason. Isn't that a heinous crime punishable by the death of nine generations of the clan?"
Kang Shi knew what he was talking about, but he was just surprised at how this person found out.
Logically speaking, the one missing is the third prince. The third prince has always been impulsive. Moreover, now that the princes have grown up, it is the time to compete for the throne. What is the purpose of the second prince coming here this time?
"I don't quite understand what Your Highness Prince Jing is saying. How could anyone dare to frame the prince?"
The second prince knew that he was already panicking, so he calmed down and took his time.
"That's not necessarily true. There are many daring people in this world. I hope the Kang family is not one of them. Now, because of your son's matter, Prince Fu has already gone to investigate. I hope to find the mastermind behind all the incidents."
Prince Jing spoke the last few words in a very low voice. If Kang Shi had not experienced many years of hard work, he would probably have been scared to tears.
"I also hope that the Third Prince can investigate the world thoroughly and give my child justice."
"After all this talk, it seems Boss Kang hasn't asked yet, what exactly did your son do wrong?"
Kang Shi was really about to collapse. Why was this person knocking here and saying something there? What was he trying to do?
"A servant has already returned home to report that my illness has suddenly worsened because of him. Otherwise, when the Third Prince came here just now, I should have opened the door to welcome him."
The second prince said "oh" and then said nothing else. He left with the imperial physician.
Kang Shi’s series of reactions just now were enough to show that there was something wrong with this person.
But it is difficult to find any evidence at the moment, so we can only hope that the Third Prince and General Mu can find out something.
After coming out, the second prince stared at the huge Kang family and gave instructions to the people around him.
"Keep an eye on their house and report any unusual activity immediately, especially strangers."
After the second prince left, the servants of the Kang family came to report immediately.
"Master, when our people went out just now, they found that there seemed to be someone watching the front and back doors."
Kang Shi didn't expect that he had just moved and hadn't done anything yet, but he was targeted by someone. This second prince was really scary.
Just when Kang Shi was in a panic and didn't know what to do, Tang Xicheng came out. He was trapped in Kang's house and might not be able to get out.
"Boss Kang, don't be nervous. Now is the time to fight for the throne. You framed the Third Prince. Maybe the Second Prince would be more than happy to do so!"
This sentence instantly reminded Kang Shi that it was the time to fight for the throne. If he could get rid of an opponent, it would be a good thing for the other princes.
"Your Highness, what do you mean by this?"
"What I'm saying is that when the King of Jin came to you just now, I'm afraid he didn't intend to harm you, but rather to seek your cooperation. Otherwise, how could he not see through such a simple scam?"
"And he just tried to test me in many ways, but in the end he just left without saying anything. It's obvious he did it on purpose!"
Kang Shi suddenly realized and felt a little relieved. At this time, his subordinates came to report that Qin Xuezhen had been found.
