When he returned to the Eastern Palace, the Crown Prince was still seated. His expression was so dark that it was unsightly. It was clear that the Fifth Prince's recovery to such an extent was beyond his expectations. Initially, when he heard that Murong Hanzhi was treating the Fifth Prince, although he was a little surprised, he was also gloating because he was absolutely confident that no one could cure the poisonous insects in the Fifth Prince's body, unless it was the person who gave him the poisonous insects.
" Hong Zhao," he suddenly shouted through gritted teeth," Go and ask Huo Tu if he knows Murong Hanzhi. If he's the one who ruined my plans, you know what to do."”
This Huo Tu was the Outsider that the Crown Prince had met when he was traveling around the border. He specialized in raising some rare poisons in the world. Originally, he had done these things just for the sake of this, but ever since he was used by the Crown Prince, he had used these things to harm the world. He was extremely vicious.
This time, the Crown Prince was worried that the Emperor wanted to abolish him, so he asked Huo Tu for this poisonous bug. When the Fifth Prince was unprepared, he secretly let the poisonous bug lay its eggs in his hands. After that, these bugs multiplied on his body at an astonishing speed. As a result, at the beginning, there were some red lumps on his body, and more and more of them grew until they covered his entire body.
After some time, those bugs would hatch and spend most of the day sleeping. They would wake up at dusk and then feed on his flesh and blood. Every time this happened, it would be the time when the Fifth Prince wished he was dead.
Because the itch was unbearable and the pain was unbearable, he would scratch his entire body desperately. As time passed, his entire body would naturally fester and bleed. The strange smell was unbearable, and he would rather die than live.
Murong Hanzhi knew that something was amiss, so he used a silver needle to pierce the blood blisters on the Fifth Prince's body and then killed him with a medicinal liquid. The Fifth Prince's illness would naturally recover. In fact, this method was not very brilliant. The key was to know the cause of the disease first. Otherwise, even if those doctors used the best medicine in the world, they would not be able to cure the Fifth Prince.
"Yes, Your Highness." Jin Hongzhao replied and turned to leave.
The Crown Prince looked at the pitch-black door and couldn't help but sneer. It seemed that he had been too merciful back then. He shouldn't have kept the Fifth Prince alive until today, but he had to meet that slut Murong Hanzhi. Seeing that his plan was about to fail, how could he be willing?!
Not long after, Jin Hongzhao dragged a man in and threw him to the ground." Your Highness, he said he was wronged and has something to say to Your Highness."”
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, this servant has been wronged!”The man on the ground suddenly jumped up. He looked to be in his forties or fifties. His eyebrows were full of wrinkles and his beard was unshaven. He spoke in the stiff language of the Chinese Dynasty. It was obvious that he came from beyond the Great Wall.
The Crown Prince looked at him coldly." What injustice? Tell me."”Actually, he only asked Jin Hongzhao to ask to confirm what he was thinking in his heart. If Huo Tu really had any dealings with Murong Hanzhi, how could he possibly be used by him and even offer up this method?
Huo Tu immediately acted as if he had received an imperial edict. He wiped away his snot and tears, walked over on his knees, and said anxiously," Your Highness, this servant doesn't recognize that girl at all. She's quite capable to be able to cure this servant's poisonous insects. However, Your Highness the Crown Prince need not worry. This servant has another way to protect the Fifth Prince…"
As he finished speaking, he smiled sinisterly, which was really annoying. He really didn't expect that his heart was as vicious as the Crown Prince, and he was also bold enough to poison the royal bloodline so brazenly. Wasn't he afraid that one day the matter would be exposed and he would die without a burial place?
"Oh?" The Crown Prince's eyes lit up, and he hooked his finger at him with interest." Very good. Come, come over, and tell BenGong in detail."”
Huo Tu immediately became smug. He stood up, bent over, and whispered into the Crown Prince's ear.
The Crown Prince slowly smiled." Very good, Huo Tu. BenGong didn't misjudge you! When bengong ascends to the throne, bengong will definitely make you the state preceptor and share the glory!”
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Huo Tu was pleasantly surprised. He bent his knees and kowtowed to the ground.
Jin Hongzhao lowered his gaze and looked at him. There was obvious mockery in his eyes."This fool blinded by greed, why didn't he think that one day, His Highness the Crown Prince would achieve great things, how could he possibly let him live?”
While the two of them were plotting to kill the Fifth Prince again, Gu Zhu Lie and Consort Yang Shu were overjoyed to see that the Fifth Prince was fine. Gu Zhu Lie immediately ordered a banquet to celebrate the Fifth Prince's rebirth.
Of course, this decree caused an uproar in the court. There had been countless banquets in Clear Sun Hall, but none of them had been held to celebrate the recovery of a prince. In other words, Gu Zhu Lie's love for the Fifth Prince was obvious. No wonder the Crown Princess Yan Binghan slapped the table when the imperial edict reached the Eastern Palace.
"What does Father mean by this? Does he still care about you?!”
It seemed that Minister Yan was not in court recently because of his illness, and Lone Bamboo Lie did not respect the Yan family anymore. If it weren't for Minister Yan's full support, Gu Zhu Lie wouldn't have been able to sit on the throne.
The Crown Prince smiled indifferently." Why are you angry? Imperial Father has always doted on Fifth Brother. It's not like you don't know.”
" You can keep your cool." Yan Binghan rolled her eyes at him, obviously dissatisfied with his patience." When he takes your Eastern Palace, I'll see if you still speak up for him!" Lone Bamboo was really lucky. So many doctors couldn't cure him, but he didn't die. Damn it!”
She didn't know about Huo Tu. Firstly, the Crown Prince had never trusted Yan Binghan and Yan Xiang. Secondly, it was naturally because the fewer people who knew about this, the better. Even the people around him had to hide it as much as possible.
"Who asked Fifth Brother to have such a good life to meet his savior.”Murong Hanzhi's beautiful and pale face appeared in front of him. The Crown Prince sneered silently and then began to regret. Mentioning Murong Hanzhi in front of Yan Binghan, wasn't that just looking for trouble?
As expected, Yan Binghan's expression changed immediately when he heard this. He sneered," Yo! That woman is the Fifth Prince's savior. Are you unhappy?”
The Crown Prince knew that he had misspoken and simply shut his mouth. It wasn't because he was afraid of her, but because he didn't want the servants to see him as a joke. In any case, the discord between him and the Crown Princess was a secret that everyone knew. It was only because Minister Yan had a wide network in the court that he had to rely on Minister Yan if he wanted to be the ruler. The Yan family also did not want the Fifth Prince to ascend the throne, so they barely maintained their superficial love.
"Why aren't you talking? I hit the nail on the head. You have nothing to say, right?”Yan Binghan looked at him disdainfully." She's really bold. She doesn't even care about the Crown Prince. She doesn't even say 'concubine' and only talks about me. She's like a shrew.”
"BingHan, don't mess around. There's nothing between bengong and Murong Hanzhi.”The Crown Prince was extremely displeased at being forced into such a situation. He had to remind Yan Binghan not to be so shameless.
"Hmph!" Yan Binghan laughed coldly and then laughed at the sky." You better not have anything to do with her. Otherwise, not only will that b * tch suffer, but you will also suffer!”
The Crown Prince was so angry that his face turned pale. He couldn't be bothered with her and stood up to leave. It was rare for the husband and wife to sit together and talk, but Murong Hanzhi, who wasn't in front of them, interrupted them. It would be strange if the Crown Prince wasn't angry.
Of course, this debt was also owed to Murong Han. When the time came, they would settle it together.
Yan Binghan was still unrelenting even after they had left. He grumbled for a long time, scaring the servants so much that they were as quiet as cicadas in winter and did not even dare to breathe loudly.
