Chapter 264 Entrustment
Nie Zhao shook his head repeatedly: "No, it has nothing to do with you."
“King Keyong came for me; the root of the problem lies with me.”
"The murderer was King Yong!"
Nie Zhao turned to face her, put his hand on her shoulder, and explained earnestly, "It has nothing to do with you. His target is not just you, but the entire Dayong..."
A smile gradually spread across Zheng Jin's face: "See, you clearly know everything."
Nie Zhao stared at her blankly for a long time, then suddenly lowered his eyes and chuckled softly.
His despondency did not last long; this experience brought about a dramatic change in him.
It was obvious to the naked eye that he had become more composed.
“Ah Jin, just you wait, one day I will kill him.”
"I believe you."
Nie Zhao was pampered from a young age and did not suffer much hardship.
What Zheng Jin likes most is his passionate and pure nature.
"Ah Jin is the best."
Zheng Xun closed the curtain.
As expected of the female lead, her mental fortitude far surpasses that of ordinary people.
The emperor nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, yes, my daughter is so outstanding, ordinary people are not good enough for her!"
Sometimes I wonder why my second sister keeps mentioning Nie Zhao for so many years.
She was forced into marriage time and time again, but her resolve never wavered.
Perhaps it's not just because Nie Zhao had a childhood sweetheart, but also because he was the other half of Zheng Jin had never had.
She is intelligent and rational, seemingly delicate but actually resilient. Those she loves should be loved wholeheartedly, passionately, and with boundless energy.
Looking at it this way, the two actually make a good match.
If Zheng Jiu knew that his death had brought together two couples, I wonder what he would think.
Sixth Prince: He didn't know what Zheng Jiu was thinking, but he felt that this statement was indeed a bit hellish.
The crisis that had occurred thousands of miles away had finally come to an end. Zheng Jin was somewhat exhausted. The Emperor and the Sixth Prince did not disturb her rest any further, but they did not leave either, instead handling official business in the next room.
After the two left, Zheng Xun opened his eyes and activated the system.
After using the two jade stones, the system didn't change much except for having more energy. However, her supernatural abilities and internal strength became incredibly abundant.
There was too much, too much for her to absorb; she could only gradually make it her own in the future.
What exactly is this jade?
She studied it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out, so she had to give up in the end.
After practicing her supernatural abilities for an hour, Zhichun helped her get out of bed and walk around.
When the emperor and the sixth prince learned that she had "woke up," they came to keep her company.
Zhao Lingyin finally woke up as evening approached.
Thinking about her purpose in entering the palace, she felt a little embarrassed, which was unusual for her.
The emperor, too lazy to watch her coy behavior, tapped the table and asked, "What's going on? Tell me."
"It's not serious. It will be fine after three months of detoxification. However, you should pay attention to rest and eat a light diet during this period."
Zhao Lingyin spoke of it casually, but in reality, this poison is not common, and ordinary doctors are completely helpless against it.
She doesn't take it seriously at all, purely because she's highly skilled and daring.
Although the Sixth Prince and Zheng Xun had already guessed that the matter was not serious, they felt much more at ease when they confirmed it.
The emperor stroked his chin: "I mustn't overwork myself..."
His gaze fell on the sixth prince.
Perhaps it was fate, or perhaps it was destiny, but at this time, the Crown Prince and the Third Prince also happened to come to visit together.
The emperor's eyes lit up immediately.
With so many children, shouldn't he have a few days to relax?
He looked at the sixth prince.
The sixth prince looked away.
The emperor's face showed a threat.
The sixth prince had no choice but to compromise.
He coughed lightly and looked at his two brothers, who had expressions of concern on their faces: "Alas, Doctor Zhao said that Father's illness is not suitable for strenuous work. Cough cough, brothers, for the next few months, I will have to trouble you to share the burden with Father. Of course, I will also do my part."
He knew he couldn't escape, and he never intended to escape, but he had to act, since he had no interest in the throne, and it would be better for everyone if he distanced himself completely.
Even if he didn't want to, he had to be more calculating for his own sake and for his mother's sake.
He is much better now, and he once said that he would take good care of his sister. It's time to fulfill his promise.
Only by taking control of his rights can he offer his sister more help.
He didn't know what others thought, but as long as she wanted it, he would support her.
The stronger he becomes, the stronger the forces supporting her will be.
Crown Prince: ? ! !
His child was only born not long ago, what kind of sin has he committed!
He hated those who poisoned his father.
The Third Prince said solemnly, "Father, please focus on recovering from your injuries. We will do our best to share your burdens."
The emperor nodded with satisfaction: "Very good. If there is anything you don't understand, just ask Yuanjia."
Zheng Xun pointed to himself: "Me???"
Seeing that she seemed about to refuse, the emperor sneered, "Are you still unwilling?"
Zheng Xun: I'm so sorry, but I'd love to.
Seeing that she nodded, the emperor then looked at the crown prince: "You're not happy?"
The crown prince hesitated for a moment, and in that brief instant, the emperor's expression changed.
"Alright, alright, your daughters are never home, they don't come back for the New Year, they don't come back for birthdays, and your son has grown up too, he's started his own family and forgotten about his father..."
The crown prince broke down and cried out, "Father! I never said I wouldn't agree!"
The emperor immediately beamed: "That's good, but there's one thing: you must be cautious in your actions. When faced with matters of indecision, never act on your own..."
He was the one who clearly wanted to shirk responsibility, but he was also the one who couldn't let go.
The three brothers stood helplessly before the emperor, heads bowed, listening to his reprimand.
The Crown Prince seized every opportunity to wink at Zheng Xun, signaling her to step in and save the day.
Zheng Xun watched the commotion for a while, then kindly came to their rescue: "Alright, Father, go back and get some rest."
Emperor: "Are you kicking me out?"
Zheng Xun said coldly, "That's right."
"heartless!"
The emperor left grumbling, and Zhao Lingyin yawned. She still had to go and instruct the emperor's palace servants on how to prepare the medicine.
The Sixth Prince smiled gently: "I must leave now. I'll come see you again tomorrow."
"No way, there will definitely be a lot of people coming to see me, you won't even get a turn."
Sixth Prince:......
"Okay, busy man, I won't cause any trouble. You take good care of yourself, and I'll come to see you in a while."
Zheng Xun nodded repeatedly.
Fearing that they would disturb her rest, the Sixth Prince took the Crown Prince and the Third Prince away.
Knowing they wouldn't be happy, he used the excuse of seeking advice on political affairs.
The two elder brothers were worried about their sixth brother's first experience with politics, and Zheng Xun urged them on, so they didn't stay long.
Zheng Xun's prediction was correct; Mingzhu Pavilion indeed became lively.
No sooner had they left than Consort Chun came to see her and stayed for dinner.
"Tsk tsk, you're quite able to enjoy your time recuperating."
Zheng Xun glanced at her: "How can I still enjoy you? You've gained weight."
Consort Chun wrinkled her nose: "No, I can't stand hearing that word. Besides, Doctor Zhao said I need to rest and recuperate."
