Chapter 258 I'm so delicate~
Zheng Xun's attempt to change the subject failed, and he stammered, "This was just an accident. How many accidents are there?"
"You're so unlucky, accidents seem to be the norm for you! Aren't things in the capital enough to keep you busy? I've said it before, you can't leave the capital, there's no room for discussion!"
Zheng Xun: ?
"Just say what you want to say. Who's unlucky? How am I unlucky?"
【Could I be more unlucky than you guys? The Great Yong Dynasty is about to fall! That's the worst kind of bad luck, isn't it?】
Sixth Prince:......
What kind of hellish joke is this?
He reluctantly steered the conversation back on track: "By the way, who is that undercover agent?"
"Could it be Prefect Yao?"
"no……"
Zheng Xun paused for a moment: "The spies in Dingzhou were mostly cleared out when I passed by. That undercover agent was newly sent by the Brown Kingdom."
The emperor pondered, "But the current Great Yong is openly lenient towards the He Kingdom while secretly maintaining strict control. Even merchants, martial arts practitioners, and ordinary people who come and go undergo rigorous screening. How could he bypass the numerous screenings in each prefecture and enter Dingzhou? Moreover, he not only found out my whereabouts but also managed to sneak into Prefect Yao's residence. Could it be that someone has neglected their duties?"
Ever since the traitors from the Brown Kingdom were exposed in the imperial court, he dispatched the Azure Dragon Guards and the Dark Guards, one openly and one covertly, to investigate them one by one. Most of those parasites have already been removed; the remaining ones were left untouched because he believed they would be useful.
Even if some escaped, Zheng Xun had already cleaned them up, so why was Prince Yong still able to plant spies in the heart of Dayong?
He imagined countless conspiracy theories, but still couldn't guess the answer.
Zheng Xun said with a subtle expression, "Actually... Prince Yong, you're quite lucky?"
"You mean, it was all a coincidence?" The Sixth Prince laughed.
As the protagonist, who isn't a chosen one of destiny? After all, this world was created with him at its center...
[It's also because the fortunes of the Great Yong Dynasty have improved considerably; otherwise, this time, it could have directly cost my father his life.]
This was the first time the emperor had heard of such a claim.
Centered on King Yong?
Are they all just tools to accompany King Yong?
He found it funny, but he couldn't quite manage to laugh.
Because he could not explain why King Yong had successfully outmaneuvered him.
The Great Yong Dynasty is now thriving, and he is convinced that it will not end up like it did before, but Zheng Xun does not seem to think so.
Her cautious attitude, in turn, confirmed her words.
The sixth prince blurted out, "Can we really snatch this luck away?"
Zheng Xun: ...
"Brother, you really look like a villain."
The Sixth Prince coughed weakly twice: "There's nothing I can do, I've always had bad luck..."
"No, that won't happen. If my brother had been born into an ordinary family, he would have died young. But he was born into the royal family, so he has no worries about food and clothing, and he doesn't have to worry about even the most precious medicinal herbs."
The sixth prince picked up where she left off, smiling broadly: "And to have met such a wonderful mother, such a wonderful father, and the best sister in the world, well... it seems I'm quite lucky."
Zheng Xun curved his eyebrows slightly.
That's right. No matter how bad the world is, at least it hasn't turned into the apocalypse.
Many problems, if you think they are bad things, can be seen as a kind of luck if you look at them from a different perspective.
Good fortune and misfortune are intertwined; the world is ever-changing; nothing in this world is more so than this.
As they were talking, Li Zhuo finally brought Zhao Lingyin back.
Zhao Lingyin clutched her stomach, her steps were unsteady, and her face was a little pale.
"Lingyin, are you feeling unwell?" Zheng Xun interrupted her bowing and asked with concern.
Zhao Lingyin gave Li Zhuo a reproachful look: "It's nothing, the journey was just too bumpy, I suffered a bit, don't blame Lord Li Zhuo~"
Li Zhuo promptly knelt down and confessed his guilt: "Your Majesty, I was too hasty. Please punish me."
The Emperor looked at Zhao Lingyin: "Doctor Zhao..."
Zhao Lingyin didn't expect him to be so serious, and quickly waved her hand: "It's nothing, I'm all better!"
Seeing Li Zhuo stand up, she breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Majesty, please extend your hand."
No one dared to disturb them; they waited quietly for the result.
Zhao Lingyin closed her eyes, seemingly feeling the pulse beating.
Five breaths passed... ten breaths passed... a cup of tea passed, and Zhao Lingyin still didn't speak.
The sixth prince grew increasingly anxious as he waited, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Doctor Zhao? Is there a problem?"
Zhao Lingyin remained silent, nodded her head, and then snored.
The emperor withdrew his hand expressionlessly.
Zhao Lingyin didn't notice anything, but her snoring grew louder and louder.
Sixth Prince:......
How can someone fall asleep while sitting?
Zheng Xun couldn't help but chuckle.
“She’s just too tired,” Zheng Xun shook his head. “This can’t go on. Xiulan needs to keep an eye on her and make sure she gets enough rest.”
The emperor said calmly, "Never mind, there's no rush. Let her sleep here for a while. I'll go and take care of official business."
Li Xiaojun wanted to say that the emperor's health was of utmost importance, but he also knew that he could not influence the emperor's decision, so he could only sigh silently.
The emperor stood up and saw the sixth prince still sitting in front of Zheng Xun. He paused and asked, "What are you still doing there?"
"I'm keeping my sister company!"
"How old are you? Still keeping your sister company? Come help me with the work!"
The sixth prince raised his hand and covered his chest: "I'm so delicate~"
Zheng Xun: "Yue!"
Emperor: "Three, two..."
The Sixth Prince stood up quickly: "Coming, coming, what's the rush!"
Just as the two were about to leave, the light screen on Zheng Xun's side suddenly opened, and then her inner voice rang out.
[Zheng Jiao and Zheng Jin are in trouble!]
The emperor whispered to the sixth prince, "Send those people in the imperial study back."
Then he turned around and sat back down.
The Sixth Prince looked at Li Xiaojun: "Eunuch Li, did you hear Father's orders? Go quickly!"
After saying that, he sat back down.
Li Xiaojun: I've worried myself sick over this family.
Seeing him leave, Zhichun quickly called over a strong old woman to take Zhao Lingyin to rest, and then she withdrew and closed the door.
Zheng Xun wasn't surprised to see the two turn around, but she still had to act: "What's wrong? Weren't you busy?"
"You've just woken up, and your father can't bear to part with you."
The sixth prince blinked: "Father's health is more important. Let's wait for Doctor Zhao to wake up!"
"All right……"
Zheng Xun gave a few perfunctory words, then half-reclined back onto the bed, pretending to close his eyes and rest: "I'm a little tired..."
"You go and rest!"
The situation within the light screen at this moment was not optimistic.
A young man grabbed Zheng Jiao by the neck, stood behind her, and calmly confronted the person opposite her.
"I never expected that I would find so many big fish when I just wanted to take a trip to Dayong."
"What arrogance!" Zheng Jin, dressed in a smart and practical outfit, reprimanded coldly.
"Hehe, Master Jing Shui, I have long heard of your great name. Meeting you today, I can see that your reputation is well-deserved."
Nie Zhao, clad in armor, said sternly, “This is the territory of Dayong. Prince Yong should think twice before acting. If my princess of Dayong suffers any harm in your hands, we will not be afraid to go to war! I just wonder how the Emperor of He Kingdom will deal with Prince Yong after he finds out his whereabouts?”
