Chapter 345: 191: Saving the King, the Hand of Miracle!_2

This was a secret letter, but also a love letter.

At least, after Princess Zhining had read it, her entire heart was tingling and trembling.

A woman in love is blind, at least ninety percent of them are. And Princess Zhining happened to be the other ten percent.

This love letter made her body numb, made her almost want to endure the fiery, burning pain and go completely mad with Suo Lun one more time.

But after that, her decision remained unchanged.

Suo Lun must die, and it had nothing to do with whether she trusted him or not. For Zhi Li’s cause, for Princess Zhining’s future marriage, he had to die.

Only the dead keep silent, and she, Princess Zhining, must remain pure as ice and clean as jade.

Princess Zhining had already decided that, after destroying Tian Shui City the Suo Family and killing Suo Lun, she would immediately return to the City of Rage Wave and find a magician to repair her tarnished purity. Then she would take medicine to completely destroy any possibility of her being pregnant.

Of course, the magician who helped her would be killed to keep him silent.

She was to marry Prince Ji Min of the Flame Empire, and this marriage affair must not be affected or destroyed.

"Summon Gui Qinqu," Princess Zhining ordered.

Soon after, Gui Qinqu once again appeared inside the grand tent.

Princess Zhining said, "I know you’ve just escaped the bitter sea, but I need you to go back to Heavenly Water Main City again, as my emissary. Tell Suo Lun not to play any clever tricks in trying to save himself. First, release Turing Duo, Nurdan, and all the other hostages. If I don’t see Turing Duo and the rest within three hours, I will immediately order the army to march into Tian Shui City and annihilate the Suo Family!"

Gui Qinqu was startled and nodded, "Yes."

And so, Gui Qinqu, who had just escaped from prison, had no choice but to mount his horse once again and return to Tian Shui City to relay Princess Zhining’s new terms.

Princess Zhining had already decided that as soon as Turing Duo was free, she would immediately order an army of a hundred thousand to march forward, level Heavenly Water Main City, and exterminate the Suo Family.

...

Meanwhile, in Duke Zhi Ting’s mansion secret chamber.

Suo Lun said, "Find out the truth, confirm the facts, and then... save the King!"

Then, he corrected himself, "Try to save the King."

Zhen Yan Princess said, "Suo Lun, thank you, but... I’ve already asked for the best Medical Daoist Monk from the Dragon Temple, he’s also the best doctor in the world, yet even he is helpless. He said my father probably has less than ten days left."

Duke Zhi Ting said, "Suo Lun, although we still hope, we have practically given up. Once His Majesty the King falls, then all is too late to discuss. If Zhi Li takes the throne, Yan’er must seek refuge in the Dragon Temple. And I... will probably have to offer all my wealth and grovel before Zhi Li, even then it’s uncertain if I can save my life."

After saying this, Duke Zhi Ting sighed profoundly.

Zhi Yan said, "We know that Princess Zhining has very complicated feelings for you. That’s why we chose to break with you. With your charm and wisdom, we believe you can find a place for yourself with Princess Zhining and don’t have to follow us to our doom."

Suo Lun said, "I am a person who is extremely obsessive and wild. Once I’ve chosen something, I’ll never look back."

And then, stopping the emotional talk, he asked directly, "Are you sure that His Majesty the King was struck down by a stroke?"

Zhi Yan said, "Yes, a stroke. He can open his eyes but cannot move them, and his whole body is immobile. I believe he can even see and hear, but is completely unable to move or speak. So he appears as if he is unconscious."

Suo Lun said, "If it’s a stroke, it means a cerebral hemorrhage has pressed on the nerves and brain area, causing the brain to lose control over the body."

Immediately, Duke Zhi Ting and Zhi Yan looked at Suo Lun with hope.

Suo Lun said, "Take me to the palace immediately. I will try to save the King, the longer we delay, the worse it is."

Princess Zhi Yan nodded and said, "Alright, you should change into the eunuch’s garments and accompany me into the royal palace."

...

Half an hour later, Suo Lun, dressed as a eunuch, followed Zhi Yan’s carriage into the royal palace.

Inside the palace, everything was as usual.

Although news of the King’s misfortune had gradually been guessed by those with ulterior motives, everyone in the royal palace was astute and naturally showed no signs of abnormality.

It was like in future China; if a super VIP hadn’t appeared on the news broadcast for several days in a row, people would start to wonder if something had happened to him, right?

Now, the King had been missing for a full half-month.

Of course, due to the unique political situation of the Rage Wave Kingdom, and the indifference between the King and the nobles and lords, the King did not meet with his ministers every day. They usually had a grand council every three to five days. Sometimes, the King simply did not attend, directly sending Zhi Li in his stead.

So, it was not uncommon for him to have been unseen for seven or eight days previously, but he had never disappeared for half a month like now.

The King’s living quarters were on a mountain within the palace, which was named Purple Jade Mountain.

This mountain was guarded by the King’s most trusted eunuchs, and no one was allowed to enter, except for Princess Zhi Yan.

Princess Zhi Yan got out of the carriage and came to the entrance of Purple Jade Mountain.

At the entrance stood an aged eunuch, who couldn’t even straighten his waist and seemed like he could be blown over by a gust of wind.

This was a person whose age was already indistinguishable.

"Elder Gao, I would like to go in and see my father," Zhi Yan said.

Elder Gao, Suo Lun immediately thought of a person, Gao Yin.
