After marrying the hunter, he became more and more abnormal

Chapter 397: Front Edge (66)

The eldest prince and the others were not surprised that Li Jingran would go to rescue Liu Qiuwu. They were just waiting for him to fall into their trap.

Unfortunately, this man's mouth was as hard as Liu Qiuwu's. They used all kinds of torture and even threatened him with Liu Qiuwu, but it was useless and they couldn't pry anything out of him.

Jin Xuhua laughed in anger, "If the eldest prince and Prince Qiao were as proud as you, we might not have any chance to survive today. What a pity."

Li Jingran's head was buzzing and his consciousness was fuzzy. He had no idea what he was saying.

"Someone, drag him away."

After throwing the half-dead Li Jingran into the cell next to Liu Qiuwu, Jin Xuhua went to meet a burly man with a head full of braids and a hooked nose.

"In order to avoid any more trouble, the plan to seize the Abyss can't be delayed any longer, especially since King Xian of the Great Abyss may have known our plan." Jin Xuhua said with a dim gaze.

The man with braids sneered, "So what if he knows? The situation is now in the hands of the eldest prince, and that idiot is nothing without us. He probably still doesn't know that Prince Qiao and his son are plotting against him."

Jin Xuhua narrowed his eyes in displeasure, "Do all of you in Xuanyue underestimate the enemy so much?"

"Underestimating the enemy? I'm telling you the truth. If you're worried, just get rid of him." The man with braids said in a rough voice.

Jin Xuhua sneered, "Do you think we haven't tried? The dawn of annexing Dayuan is just around the corner, but there is this big obstacle. I feel uneasy. If he is not eliminated, it is very likely that our plan that has been laid out for many years will fail."

The man with braids frowned, "Is he really as powerful as you say? Could it be that he has three heads and six arms?"

"As cunning as a fox." Jin Xuhua commented, "Is there no problem over there?"

"Emperor Dayuan is dying. I have been waiting for this day for who knows how long. Of course I have made arrangements."

"I have no problem here, now it's time to let them mess things up..."

So, the two of them carefully planned an assassination attempt on King Xian and would not give up until it succeeded.

Under the repeated attacks of the assassins, Prince Xian was accidentally hit, seriously injured and fell into a coma. It was said that he was only hanging on for one breath.

Now, the eldest prince's ascension to the throne was almost a foregone conclusion, and everyone on the eldest prince's side was overjoyed.

As for those who stood on the side of King Xian, they were all gloomy and sad. Some of them changed sides or lamented that the situation was hopeless. Of course, there were also those who insisted on their own path until the end.

The Grand Prince's Mansion.

The eldest prince was already wearing a dragon robe, and he was looking up with a red face and laughing: "I am the ultimate winner! I am the emperor of this abyss! Hahahaha..."

The eldest prince was immersed in joy and did not notice at all that Prince Qiao and his son's eyes were filled with contempt and disdain, and that Jin Xuhua's slightly raised mouth corners were full of malicious amusement.

When the eldest prince had finished laughing, he turned his gaze towards them and said, "You have helped me achieve my great cause. When I ascend the throne, I will definitely reward you handsomely!"

"Then I would like to thank Your Majesty in advance." Jin Xuhua smiled and bowed. When he lowered his head, his eyes glanced at Prince Qiao and his son, and Prince Qiao and his son also looked at him silently.

The word "Your Majesty" once again delighted the eldest prince. His mouth was grinning from ear to ear. He could not help but say good things again and again, praising strategist Jin for his great talent and calling him the greatest contributor.

After hearing this, King Qiao and his son showed a flash of pity on their faces. They also walked over to congratulate him, and then said with a smile: "From today on, no one can threaten us anymore."

"What the emperor's uncle said is...ah!"

"Pfft-"

It was the sound of a sharp knife piercing flesh.

The eldest prince's eyes suddenly widened, and his eyes almost popped out of his head when he looked at Prince Qiao.

Prince Qiao still smiled at him, "Yes, nephew, the threat is gone, so you can do one last thing for me, your uncle."

The eldest prince couldn't believe it. He lowered his head little by little and looked at the dagger that pierced his stomach. The person holding the dagger was actually Qiao Wenjin.

The eldest prince's eyes were red with anger. He raised his eyes and glared at them, as well as Jin Xuhua who had been smiling from beginning to end.

"You, you...Puff!" He wanted to attack, but a mouthful of blood spurted out.

Qiao Wenjin dodged in disgust.

The eldest prince just fell down, wearing the bright yellow he had always dreamed of, and died with his eyes open.

"Prince Qiao, Prince Qiao, the evidence of the eldest prince's treason has been prepared. Prince Qiao can now restore his true identity." Jin Xuhua said.

"Haha, of course, Wen Jin, you've suffered a lot these years. If I hadn't let you pretend to be a brother and made you the crown prince, my royal brother wouldn't have tolerated us." Prince Qiao laughed loudly.

"It's not bitter." Qiao Wenjin also smiled.

And Jin Xuhua...

It turns out that Prince Qiao and his son had always had ulterior motives, and Qiao Wenjin was not a good man at all, and everything they did was to deceive the old emperor's eyes and ears.

As for why they wanted to surrender to the eldest prince, it was simply because they saw that the eldest prince was ruthless and easy to control. When the time came, they would push him out to take the blame, while they would wash away the dirty water and ascend to the dragon throne that everyone admired, just like now.

But while the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it, the final oriole may not be King Qiao and his son.

When Ling Chuan saw this, he didn't know what words to use to describe his extremely bad mood.

Is this also true in reality?

That's why the boy reacted so strongly when he first heard the name Jin Xuhua.

Jin Xuhua is not only the culprit who killed "himself", the murderer who killed tens of millions of soldiers, but also a lurker from the enemy country who wanted to seize their Dayuan!

Ling Chuan felt a dull headache. If this was really the case, he couldn't just stand by and watch. Without his country, how could he have a home?

While he was rubbing his forehead, he heard the boy was about to go out, so he stood up and quickly followed him.

The young man was wearing a plain gray-white suit today, his long hair was casually tied with a white headband, and his face was covered with fake human skin. Even if Liu Yu stood in front of him, she would not be able to recognize that he was the young man.

The young man went to Prince Xian's mansion.

There were heavy guards outside Prince Xian's mansion, and the young man walked straight over.

Seeing the young man, the soldier said coldly: "Don't get close to me, and leave quickly."

The young man looked at him calmly, "I want to see Princess Xian."

The soldier frowned, his serious expression looked even more inhumane, and he drove them away, "Go, go, go, don't make trouble, otherwise we will arrest the offenders."

"I want to see the princess. Tell her that an old friend is visiting." The young man said calmly.

Hearing this, the soldier couldn't help but look at him twice, "The princess has instructed that no one should see any guests."

The young man took out a token and handed it to him, "Take this in, and when he sees it, he will come to see me."

The soldier moved his lips and wanted to say something, but after taking a glance at the token, his expression changed instantly and he took it respectfully.

"Please wait a moment, sir. I will be there soon."

"Yeah." The young man nodded and watched the soldiers go in.

Not long after, the soldier came running out and said to the young man, "Sir, please come in."

The young man walked into Prince Xian’s mansion.

Inside, Yu Shuche, with a deep red look on his face, was waiting, and he walked under the eaves.

After waiting for a long time, he saw a strange face walking slowly towards him. He frowned and his eyes turned cold. He immediately asked in a stern voice, "Who are you? Where did you get the token?"

The young man continued to move forward, looking at his sullen face with his dark eyes, and said, "Princess, it's me."

Suddenly hearing a familiar voice, Yu Shuche's cold eyes paused for a moment, and he couldn't help but look carefully again. The face was unfamiliar, but the figure... was somewhat similar to the person in his memory, no, the figure was a little thinner.

Thinking about it, he looked back at the boy's face and asked hesitantly, "Is it really you?"

"Yes, it's me." The young man raised his hand and took off the fake leather mask on his face, revealing his hidden true face.

Yu Shuche was stunned for a few seconds, then went from shock to acceptance, and then smiled sincerely.

"I didn't believe it when the soldier handed me the token, but now that I've seen everything, I can't help but feel a glimmer of hope. I thought I might as well go and see him. Maybe he has really returned safely... It's great that you've returned. Has General Ling returned as well?"

When the boy mentioned "himself", his eyelashes drooped slightly, "He can't come back."

Yu Shuche was silent for a moment, his smile faded, he said his condolences and didn't mention the matter anymore, he invited the young man to come in and sit down and chat.

"How is the prince now?" The young man asked Yu Shuche as soon as he sat down.

Yu Shuche replied bitterly: "Not very good."

"I can save him, but I have a request." The young man met his eyes and spoke bluntly.

“Can you save him?” Yu Shuche’s eyes lit up, but dimmed again the next second. “Even your senior brother is helpless. Although you are a skilled doctor, you don’t even know Ah Che’s specific condition. How is it possible…”

"I can. As long as I am still alive, I can give you a healthy him." The young man interrupted him.

These words sounded like a fairy tale and had no credibility at all, but his unquestionable look made Yu Shuche feel a glimmer of hope and expectation in his heart.

"Really? What do you want me to promise you?"

"The culprit." The young man squeezed out two words from his teeth. "The reason why the two cities were easily breached was because someone had secretly planned it. If they didn't know that the defense inside the city didn't work together, he and they wouldn't have died! The city wouldn't have been breached!"

The young man's eyes were filled with hatred, and he could not help but slam his fist on the table. Then he looked at Yu Shuche and said word by word: "I want this man. I want to chop off his head with my own hands to commemorate all the heroic souls who died tragically in Border Town!"

Yu Shuche thought to himself, as expected, and after a few breaths of thought, he said, "Even if you don't kill him, we can't spare him. To be honest, A Rui is in a critical condition, and I am also terrified, but I can't fall down. Once there is really no leader, we will be even less able to compete with them, and then the entire Dayuan may be overthrown."

The young man narrowed his eyes, pursed his red lips and said, "Take me to see him, if you can trust me."

"I still believe you, otherwise I would have disappeared." Yu Shuche said, then stood up, "Come with me."

The young man stood up, followed him, and finally reached the courtyard that was strictly guarded by guards and walked in.

The room smelled strongly of medicine.

When I got closer, I saw Qiao Ruicheng lying on the bed with his eyes closed and his face pale.

The young man leaned over to check his eyes and felt his pulse before asking, "Has the prince ever woke up?"

Yu Shuche shook his head in sorrow. "The knife was poisonous. He has been unconscious since being stabbed. The poison has been suppressed temporarily, but it is only a temporary solution. The wound is also very deep and almost fatal."

The young man nodded to show that he understood, and took out two things.

One is a small gourd porcelain bottle with colorful cloud and bat patterns, which is filled with water from Linghu Lake. The other is a small square box about one finger long and wide, which is filled with detoxification pills.

Lingchuan knows this.

The young man first picked up a detoxification pill and swallowed it, then drank some water from the Linghu Lake.

"Princess, if the prince takes these two things, he will be cured. Princess, please use a silver needle to test it again."

Yu Shuche was silent for a moment, looked at him and said, "No need to check."

But the young man insisted, and could even be said to be preaching: "Princess, you must be on guard against others. In extraordinary times, you should also be a little cautious of acquaintances."

"…Then let's test it."

I tested each with a silver needle and found neither was poisonous.

So Yu Shuche fed Qiao Ruicheng the detoxification pill mixed with water from the Linghu Lake.

After a while, Qiao Ruicheng's complexion improved at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the blood color gradually returned, the most obvious being his rosy lips.

Seeing that the drug was so effective, Yu Shuche's heart was pounding like thunder.

He sat in front of the bed, holding Qiao Ruicheng's hand nervously and staring at him without blinking, afraid that he would miss anything.

Isn't he gambling? Doctor Xie and other imperial doctors all said that his A Rui couldn't hold on any longer...

Suddenly, Qiao Ruicheng's hand moved, which made Yu Shuche burst into tears. He turned around and said excitedly to the boy, "It moved! A Rui's hand moved!"

"Yeah." The young man looked down and saw Qiao Ruicheng's eyelids twitching a few times, as if he was about to open his eyes, so he said, "He's about to wake up."

Yu Shuche's eyes widened upon hearing this, and he immediately turned around, just in time to see Qiao Ruicheng opening his eyes. He burst into tears of joy, "He's awake! He's really awake! That's great, I thought, I thought..."

I have been forcing myself to be calm and telling myself not to ignore the overall situation because of my emotions. At this moment, all the negative emotions come back, sadness, sadness, fear, terror...

The person who had been in a coma for several days was obviously a little dazed when he just woke up, but when he heard the crying of his loved one and felt the strength holding his hand, he instantly came back to his senses.

"Ache..."

As a result, when he moved his gaze, he not only saw his A Che, but also the general's wife who shouldn't be here?

Plop—Qiao Ruicheng’s heart skipped a beat. Are they all dead?

The young man seemed to see through his thoughts and said with a wooden face: "I'm not dead."

So you're not dead either.

not dead?

Qiao Ruicheng's pupils shrank slightly. Is General Ling okay too?

He turned to look at his lover with wet eyes, sat up and asked in a hoarse voice: "What's going on?"

"Hey, don't move! You're injured!" Yu Shuche's face changed and he leaned over to stop him.

This also made Qiao Ruicheng, whose memory had returned, discover something was wrong with himself. He suddenly lowered his head to look at his chest and said in surprise, "Have I been unconscious for a long time? I can't feel the wound anymore. What's the situation outside? Are they going to take action?"

Yu Shuche was also extremely surprised when he heard this, and the words that the young man had said before suddenly emerged in his mind... Could it be that he was really cured?
