Chapter 96

~6 min read 1,170 words

The main reason was that the strength Su Xuan showed was too terrifying.

"Since I have already served you as my master, I will not go back."

Yan Lingji thought Su Xuan had another meaning in his words and said.

"Is that so?"

Su Xuan's expression was calm, and no waves could be seen.

Yan Lingji asked again, "Princess Honglian was kidnapped, do you think the Han Wang will ask you for help?"

After all, he is a strong person who can defeat Tian Ze head-on. If she were the Han Wang, she would definitely not be stingy with his use and let this person deal with Tian Ze.

After Yan Lingji said this, a hint of worry couldn't help but arise in her heart.

If the Han Wang really let Su Xuan deal with Tian Ze, does Master Tian Ze really have a chance of winning?

Those few punches last night seemed ordinary, but the results were undoubtedly shocking.

Su Xuan also secretly pondered this question of Yan Lingji. He also wanted to know if the Han Wang would ask him for help.

Ever since the Ghost Soldier case and the Liu Yi death case, the Han Wang asked him for help, and all of Han Fei's scenes were snatched by him, the plot had become a mess.

What kind of development will happen next, no one knows.

However, before Su Xuan waited for new news from the Han Wang.

A change happened suddenly.

Last night, because Princess Honglian was kidnapped, the Han Wang, who had already fallen asleep, had to get up, and then held a court meeting. After the court meeting, because he was an old man after all, the Han Wang's energy was not as good as a young man's, so he went to rest again.

As a result, halfway through his rest, his body suddenly twitched, and his seven orifices bled. By the time the imperial physician rushed over, the Han Wang was already breathing more and inhaling less, completely falling into a state of coma.

No one expected that the Han Wang, who was still full of energy and scolding the ministers last night, would suddenly have such a thing happen.

Immediately after, palace guards came to Su Xuan's door and strictly guarded the palace where Su Xuan was located, just like guarding... a prisoner.

"Hmm?"

Su Xuan's eyebrows raised slightly.

Yan Lingji in the cage looked at Su Xuan curiously, "What's wrong?"

"It seems a change has happened." Su Xuan said faintly, and secretly pondered in his heart, 'Is it Bai Yifei's handiwork?'

Ji Wuye's purpose in recalling Bai Yifei is not difficult to guess. It is nothing more than Jade Tiger's death and Liu Yi's death. Ji Wuye has been frustrated repeatedly. He needs Bai Yifei, a powerful thug, to return to reverse the situation.

The Han Wang's bedchamber.

The news that the Han Wang was seriously ill and in a coma, and his life was not long, was soon learned by many princes.

His many sons rushed to the palace one after another, intending to visit the Han Wang.

But most of them were stopped outside the bedchamber, and only the Crown Prince, accompanied by Grand General Ji Wuye and Prime Minister Zhang Kaidi, stepped into it.

The Crown Prince had a weak personality.

After walking into the bedchamber, he first smelled a strong medicinal smell, and then saw his father lying on the couch, pale, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

"Father..."

The Crown Prince hurriedly rushed to the Han Wang, his tone tragic, as if he was sad that his father had become like this.

"Please, Crown Prince, grieve!"

Ji Wuye came to the side of the Crown Prince and said softly.

Zhang Kaidi listened to Ji Wuye's words, his eyebrows frowned slightly, but in the end, he didn't say anything.

He looked at the Imperial Physician and asked, "How is the King?"

The Imperial Physician heard this, his face changed suddenly, wanting to speak but stopping.

"Speak, what exactly is going on?"

Zhang Kaidi became unusually strong and asked the Imperial Physician sternly.

The Imperial Physician pondered for a while, and finally told the situation of the Han Wang.

It was nothing more than the King's body having been empty for a long time, and it had already reached the end of its tether. Last night, Princess Honglian was captured, which caused the King to be angry, which triggered the hidden illness in the King's body, finally making the King unable to support himself, and that last breath of heart energy was also scattered seven or eight out of ten.

After listening to the Imperial Physician's account, Zhang Kaidi's face was already gloomy.

He thought the King had just fainted, but he didn't expect the situation to be more serious than he imagined.

Is there any hope for the King?

At this moment, he heard the Imperial Physician look puzzled and say softly, "This shouldn't be!"

Ji Wuye, who was comforting the Crown Prince, heard this and hurriedly said sternly, "Speak, what exactly do you know?"

The Imperial Physician listened to the Grand General's words, his body trembled slightly, and he said in a low voice, "I know the King's physical condition very well. Although there are hidden illnesses, they are not very serious. Even if he is angry, he will not fall into such a situation directly. The emptiness in his body is more like it was caused by medicine..."

"Medicine?"

Ji Wuye raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "Speaking of medicine, I remember one thing."

"That Mr. Su, whom the King favors, is proficient in alchemy. Recently, the King has been taking the elixirs he refined every day. In addition, the night before last, after that Baiyue enchantress broke into the palace, she was also captured by this person, and then he persuaded the King to temporarily detain the enchantress at his place."

"Last night, before Tian Ze broke into the palace and kidnapped Princess Honglian, he also went to his place first, saying that he repelled Tian Ze, making Tian Ze's rescue of the enchantress fail, but this is his one-sided word after all, and no one can tell the truth!"

There was another meaning in Ji Wuye's words.

The Crown Prince, who was sad for his father's situation, immediately stood up solemnly, his words filled with deep anger, "Pass my order, the demon Su Xuan, colluding with the Baiyue rebel Tian Ze, used elixirs to harm my father. Grand General, I order you to capture the demon Su Xuan immediately. I want to seek justice for my father!"

"I, obey the order!"

Ji Wuye bowed respectfully. He lowered his head, and a strange smile couldn't help but curl at the corners of his mouth.

A long time ago, he had been instilling in the Crown Prince the idea that Su Xuan was a demon who used sorcery to confuse the Han Wang. He was waiting for this very moment.
