Chapter 296: Survival from Despair

The Crown Princess looked up in shock, her dark eyes gradually glowing. She quickly stood up and said, "Quick! Bring him into the palace! Let's go save His Highness!"

"Yes! Yes! I will go and invite you right away!"

The Crown Princess ran out quickly, and she felt the heart in her chest beating again.

Zong Zhao, it’s Zong Zhao who is back.

That was His Highness's best friend. No matter how the outside world misunderstood that they had a bad relationship, she just knew that he was the person His Highness trusted the most, and His Highness was saved.

Zong Zhao, we can definitely save His Highness!

East Palace, study.

Zong Jincheng finished reciting the Nine Classics of State Governance and asked without even raising his head, "Your Highness, is there anything else you want to hear?"

After listening for a few seconds, there was no answer.

The little devil looked up and saw that the prince had his eyes closed with a faint smile on his face.

"It seems like he fell asleep..."

The young man mumbled and looked around, trying to find a blanket to cover himself. This time he accidentally touched His Highness's hand, and the prince's arm fell weakly from his body.

Zong Jincheng's eyes widened, and he realized something was wrong. He shouted, "Your Highness, Your Highness, wake up, what's wrong with you? Your Highness... someone, someone, Your Highness has fainted, Your Highness has fainted!"

He fainted with a groan in his mouth, but his mind recalled the nightmare in the morning. He was terrified and even his hands that were supporting His Highness began to tremble. He cried and begged: "Your Highness, please wake up, don't scare me, don't scare me..."

Zong Jincheng was so anxious that he burst into tears.

At this time, the Crown Princess and Zong Zhao came rushing to rescue people, and soon pushed Zong Jincheng aside. The young man didn't dare to add to the trouble at this time, and retreated as far as possible.

Zong Zhao stuffed a pill into the prince's mouth, lifted his chin, and forced him to swallow the pill. Then he quickly took out silver needles from his body and pierced several major acupuncture points on the prince's body.

The Crown Princess was deeply distressed.

But she still forced herself not to disturb Zong Zhao, and stood aside with Zong Jincheng. All the palace maids and eunuchs in the study room left voluntarily, and no one disturbed what was happening here.

Zong Zhao lowered his eyes and concentrated on giving acupuncture. His face was stern and he didn't smile, but at this moment it gave people a sense of security.

The Crown Princess felt a faint sense of hope in her heart.

Zong Zhao will definitely be able to rescue His Highness.

"Hot water, cotton towel." Zong Zhao asked for things.

"I'll go ask someone to prepare it right away!" The Crown Princess hurried out.

Zong Jincheng stared at Zong Zhao's profile, studying him carefully. The man was dressed in black, with the skin on his hands tightly exposed. His aura was a bit intimidating, similar to Buyan and Huaishui.

He thought that this man must also be a martial arts master.

But, he is good at both martial arts and medicine? How can he be so amazing?

Zong Jincheng remembered that this person was brought by the Crown Princess, so he should be very reliable and would definitely be able to cure His Highness.

The Crown Princess came back soon and brought in hot water. Zong Zhao soaked a handkerchief with the hot water and applied it to the acupuncture point he had just pierced. The Crown Princess assisted him.

Soon, Zong Zhao finished everything and finally he had his hands free to feel the prince's breathing. It was very weak, but the effect of the medicine was already accelerating.

A quarter of an hour later, Zong Zhao tried again with the feather, and his breathing gradually returned to normal.

The Crown Princess finally smiled from her tense face, and she hurriedly asked, "Zong Zhao, is His Highness okay?"

Zong Zhao nodded and said, "His life is not in danger for now, but it may take some time for him to wake up."

The Crown Princess burst into tears of joy and thanked him repeatedly, "It's good that you're okay, it's good that you're okay. As long as Your Highness is okay, I can wait for as long as it takes!"

Zong Jincheng, who had been listening to the two people's conversation from behind: "!!!"

Zong Zhao???

My dad???

This is my dad???

The little devil got his share of big news again, and it was his own news. He actually met his biological father in person!!

"Dad! You're back! I'm Jincheng, your son!" Zong Jincheng ran over excitedly, looking up and introducing himself to him.

So this is my father!

So handsome! So awesome!!

There is no need to think about it. Dad's martial arts is definitely better than Buyan and Huaishui, because he is the top martial arts champion and the father of Zong Jincheng. He is definitely the most invincible!

Zong Zhao looked at the young man's admiring eyes, and all he could think about was Luo Shu's plan that night. The two of them had similar eyebrows and eyes that overlapped, but they were quickly separated.

"Yeah, I know." Zong Zhao touched his head.

Zong Jincheng raised his head excitedly and praised in a very familiar manner: "Dad, you are so awesome. Thanks to you, I was scared to death just now. I thought something was going to happen to His Highness. His Highness is so good to me. If anything happened to him, I would be very sad."

Zong Zhao nodded, took out a small box from his arms, and handed it to the Crown Princess: "Give your Highness one pill every half a month."

"Okay!" The Crown Princess took it quickly and touched the box cherishingly.

This is His Highness' life-saving medicine. She has been looking for it for a long time but couldn't find an antidote or even any poison.

She was surprised and delighted, and repeatedly shouted outside, "Go and call Huaishui over. I have something to tell him."

Now that His Highness has been rescued, she doesn't have to send the little princess to the Duke's Mansion. She has to let Huai Shui bring her back.

Unexpectedly, when Zong Zhao heard this name, his eyes raised.

"My Lady, I once left a red lance with Your Highness. I wonder if it is still there?"

The Crown Princess said repeatedly, "Yes, yes, Your Highness often takes it out to look at it. I'll get it for you."

After the Huai River arrived, they found nothing. Zong Jincheng considerately told him that the Crown Princess would be back soon and asked him to wait for a while.

Huaishui looked up and saw Zong Zhao. He was still shocked, so he bowed his head and said, "My humble servant is honored to meet you, young marquis."

"Um."

Zong Zhao responded and said nothing more.

Zong Jincheng was standing nearby and thought to himself: Dad really doesn't talk much, and grandparents never lied to me.

The Crown Princess brought the Red Spear and handed it to him while saying, "When His Highness gets better, he can practice martial arts with you. He hasn't been to the martial arts training ground for many years, and he must miss it a lot."

Zong Zhao took the red-threaded gun and put his hand on the gun head. After not seeing it for many years, it was still extremely sharp, and the beautiful red thread was also well-maintained.

The Crown Princess was still chattering, and Zong Jincheng was also looking at the gun.

The next moment.

Zong Zhao held the long red-threaded spear and spun it rapidly in the air. The tip of the spear, filled with murderous intent and anger, pierced straight into Huaishui's heart and penetrated his body.

Crisp, decisive, without any hesitation.

"Ah——" The Crown Princess covered her mouth in shock and looked at Zong Zhao who was holding a gun.

Zong Jincheng was also stunned. He rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and looked again and it was still the same.

But, is Dad...crazy?

That's the Huai River. He is the personal bodyguard of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and has been with His Royal Highness for more than ten years!
