The gatekeeper could tell these two weren't easy to mess with, so he secretly swallowed hard, but finally gave in and said, "Let me go in and inform them."
Prince Lin was in a fit of rage at this moment, and a group of people were kneeling at his feet, all with their heads down and not daring to speak.
"Tell me, what have I been doing raising you all these years? If I had known this would happen, I should have just let you die by the roadside!"
As he spoke, he angrily smashed a teacup, the shards splashing onto his men's bodies and faces. Some of them were already bleeding, but no one dared to utter a sound, because they were indeed inferior in skill and were always crushed by Prince Chen's men.
"That woman is actually one of Prince Chen's people! How many times have I asked you to investigate her background, and what have you all told me? It's one thing to be incompetent at other things, but now you can't even get accurate information. Have you all lost your minds?!"
Yes, it is Lin Yiping, he is Lin Yiping.
He has been biding his time for so many years, all for the sake of taking that position. Everyone is a prince, and everyone wants to compete for it, so why can't he?
Is it because his mother came from a humble background?
He never believed in fate; he wanted to get that position through his own means.
He thought he had everything under control, and even Prince Chen thought he was the one who was indifferent to worldly affairs, and even had the idea of winning him over. As long as he disguised himself well enough, no one would be able to recognize him.
After the great undertaking is accomplished, create the illusion that Lin Yiping is dead, so that Lin Yiping will no longer exist in the world, and he can ascend the throne in peace.
But he never imagined that all his plans would fail because of He Jiuniang.
He had been cured of his chronic illness for many years by He Jiuniang. He believed in He Jiuniang's abilities, which is why he tried every means to get her to help him. Unexpectedly, he lost more than he gained, and the woman got hold of his secret, forcing him, a dignified prince, to hide outside the city and live a life of ignominy.
"Your Highness, please calm down. This woman is too cunning; we really..."
"Shut up! Shut up! At a time like this, you're still making excuses. You're all useless. Die, all of you!"
As he spoke, he drew his longsword, intending to strike the person kneeling on the ground. Just then, the gatekeeper hurriedly reported, "Your Highness, a man and a woman have arrived outside. They say they are physicians sent by Prince Chen. They came to treat Your Highness after hearing that Your Highness was ill."
"What are the characteristics of a man and a woman?"
Prince Lin calmed down, threw the long sword in his hand on the ground, and sat back down to take a sip of tea.
"The man was wearing an iron mask, and the woman was very beautiful and seemed to be very skilled. I dared not resist, so I came in to report..."
Upon hearing this, Prince Lin's face turned pale instantly. He had already hidden here, and they still wanted to chase after him?
Then don't blame him for being ruthless!
"No need to report, Your Highness Prince Lin, we have arrived."
He Jiuniang walked with her hands behind her back, her steps light and cheerful, while Lu Baichuan beside her was more composed.
"The people Third Brother sent are really interesting. It's one thing to rudely barge into my territory, but to not even kneel before me? What, do you think that just because I'm sick, I can be humiliated at will?"
As he spoke, he coughed twice in a convincing manner, looking no different from someone terminally ill.
He Jiuniang walked in by herself, poured herself a cup of tea and drank it down before saying, "Your Highness, perhaps you should stop acting? Your acting is too clumsy. Or, would you prefer me to call you Young Master Lin?"
The topic changed so quickly that not only Prince Lin, but even Lu Baichuan standing next to him didn't understand.
My wife's thought process is beyond the comprehension of most people.
"I don't know what you're talking about. If I remember correctly, this is the first time we've met."
Prince Lin was a man who had seen many storms, and he was not flustered at all when he saw this scene. Instead, he took the initiative and struck first.
Of course, these moves were harmless to He Jiuniang.
"Your Highness, there's no need for such modesty. When I treated you, the medicine I used contained a very special spice, something I developed myself. Of course, I could find it. If this were our first meeting, how could you have that unique fragrance of my medicine on you?"
He Jiuniang sneered as she spoke, finding Prince Lin quite ridiculous.
If he wants to fight for the throne, then he should. He is a prince, and as long as the old emperor is still alive, he has a good chance. Why should he act so secretly now?
Prince Lin trembled, clearly not expecting He Jiu Niang to possess such abilities.
I wish I could be one of his people.
However, it's clearly no use now; Prince Chen beat him to it, and nothing he says will make a difference.
"Yes, I am the person you are looking for, but so what? Do you think the people will believe me, or you, an utterly unknown outsider? And how can you prove that what you say is true?"
As he spoke, Prince Lin retreated, looking for an opportunity to escape at any moment.
He Jiuniang said, "Your Highness doesn't need to worry about that. I warned you beforehand not to provoke me or my family, but you just wouldn't listen. You set a trap for my husband and even tried to kill him. For that alone, I won't let you go."
He Jiuniang spoke calmly, but every word she uttered carried a murderous intent, which Lin Yiping had already deeply felt.
It's past midnight!!! Ugh, I'm so tired, time for bed, goodnight my darlings!
