Chapter 241 That's incredibly audacious!
The Crown Prince of Nanqiu was malicious and his interference in the politics of another country, which instigated a war between the two nations, caused a great uproar.
He had barely limped out of the embassy when he was summoned to the palace by Emperor Nanqiu's men.
Despite the pain in his lower body, Lu Jinxian stepped into the Imperial Study. The head constable smashed a teacup down on him, and Lu Jinxian was unable to dodge it, resulting in a red and swollen patch on his forehead.
"You unfilial son, look what you've done!"
Enraged, Emperor Nanqiu threw a stack of papers at Lu Jinxian.
The contents on the paper were almost identical to what Lu Jinxian saw today, but were more detailed.
He had no way to defend himself.
"Father, I did all this for Nanqiu."
"I didn't say you couldn't do it, but how could you leave so many weaknesses that people can use against you?"
"This is utterly foolish. Do you know how much this has affected Nanqiu?"
"Father, there is nothing that cannot be suppressed by force. Your son has developed weapons that are dozens of times stronger than the batch given to Bei Dong."
"When the Emperor of Dongxia returns to his country, we will ambush and kill him on the way. Dongxia and Beidong will both be in the hands of Nanqiu. At that time, Nanqiu will be the number one country, and dominating the world will be just around the corner."
"Fool, I thought you had finally come to your senses, but I didn't expect you to still be so stupid."
"Do you think the ruler of a country is so easy to kill? Besides, if the Emperor of Dongxia were to have an accident within our Nanqiu territory, do you think Nanqiu would be in any good way?"
"Once he's dead, won't we be the ones to decide what happens next?"
Emperor Nanqiu saw the murderous intent in his son's eyes and was immediately alarmed.
This son is incredibly audacious.
Is an emperor who can destroy a country in just a few months so easy to deal with?
"You'd better stay in the East Palace these next few days and don't cause any more trouble."
"I will handle the matter of Dongxia myself. During the Emperor's birthday celebrations, you should continue to feign illness until the envoys have all left before you come out."
"How can that be? How can I, the crown prince, not show up when envoys from various countries come to visit? What will outsiders think?"
"Your current public appearances will only bring you trouble."
"Alright, go back now. From now on, you must obtain my permission before doing anything."
Lu Jinxian didn't take Nanqiu Emperor's words seriously, but he was too tired to argue with him because his lower body was in so much pain.
Upon returning to the Eastern Palace, Lu Jinxian, who had retired due to illness, still summoned the system.
Having lost all his wealth, the system had no interest in paying attention to Lu Jinxian. He huddled alone in the system space, silently shedding tears for the wealth he had worked so hard for over half a lifetime.
"System! Come out quickly! Is there any chance I can still connect to this? Without it, how am I supposed to complete tasks and earn points?"
"System! You must have a way, right? I know you're omnipotent, you must have a way!"
"And you can cure the poison in my body, right? Say something!"
Lu Jinxian was in a state of helpless rage in his room, while the system remained silent.
Lu Jinxian's heart gradually grew cold, and the panic in his heart intensified.
Could it be that the system thinks he's useless and has given up on him?
How is he supposed to live from now on?
No! He can't lose the system; he still needs to rely on it to achieve unification and become an emperor for all time!
"System! System, speak up! Speak up now!"
"Stop shouting, your wound down there has reopened."
Upon hearing the system's voice, Lu Jinxian's panic subsided. After clearly understanding what the system said, Lu Jinxian suddenly looked down.
A few drops of blood dripped onto the ground.
He lifted his outer robe and found his white inner garment was already stained bright red.
This scene horrified him. Whether it was from excessive blood loss or from being terrified by what he saw, Lu Jinxian staggered back a few steps and sat on the bed, panting heavily.
After a moment, Lu Jinxian picked up a handkerchief and covered the wound, then quickly asked his trusted aide to find the imperial physician.
The imperial physician, who rushed over upon learning of the prince's injury, felt his vision go black upon seeing the scene; he knew his life was over for the day.
She didn't dare say a word and silently stepped forward to stop Lu Jinxian's bleeding.
"Is there any way to cure him here?"
The imperial physician paused as he packed his medicine chest, his heart turning cold.
"Please forgive my lack of medical skills, Your Highness, I am powerless to help with this injury."
Lu Jinxian hadn't had high expectations to begin with, but it was just a casual question.
Such an injury would be difficult to treat even in his technologically advanced world, let alone in ancient times with its backward medical technology.
Lu Jinxian waved his hand. The imperial physician knew his death was imminent, but he still wanted to try to save him.
"Your Highness, your wound still needs to be dressed daily."
"Okay, leave the medicine here."
The imperial physician, his eyes filled with despair, left the medicine behind, picked up his medicine chest, and walked out of the East Palace.
Sure enough, when they reached a pond, the imperial physician sensed someone behind him. Before the person could make a move, he resolutely jumped into the pond.
