C728 See Father again (1/2)
Hearing the young maid's voice, the man slowly descended. With a calm gaze, he said, ”Tao Er, I said not to disturb me.”
”But Your Highness, our carriage is already prepared. The four countries' envoys are all about to enter the Royal Capital. As the crown prince, you must make an appearance. If you still don't go back, everyone will know that you ran out. ”
Tao Er said earnestly. In her heart, however, she hoped that Feng Qing would leave soon and stop looking at that woman, Mu Ru Yue.
That woman, there was definitely something odd about her. Otherwise, how could she let His Highness be like this?
With this thought in mind, Tao Er felt a bit of jealousy from the bottom of her heart. If she … How good would it be to be able to receive His Highness' favor? But unfortunately, this was just a thought.
”Even if I hadn't returned, royal father would have told those people directly that I was in the south. At that time … If this credit falls on my head, isn't it just the right thing to do? ”
Feng Qing's tone was very light, but his words were also true.
If he didn't go back, then all of Feng Chen's credit would have been put in Feng Qing's hands.
This was the bias of those in power.
Feng Qing's words made Tao Er speechless, but she didn't dare to say anything more. However, Feng Qing quickly left with Tao Er.
Although it wasn't bad to attribute this credit to him, but … In the end, he didn't want to rob this kind of thing. What he wanted, had always been one thing.
Everything he did was to retrieve the item that should have belonged to him.
Seeing that his highness had left, Tao Er quickly followed and felt relieved. It was a good thing that his highness didn't really stay.
”Your Highness, when we go back …” ”Doll, can you?”
”Tao Er, don't forget my words. I have said that I will not chase you away, but I will not allow you to come any closer. ”Otherwise …” The man didn't finish his words.
However, it caused Tao Er, who just wanted to continue talking, to shudder. Her expression gradually dimmed.
Yes, for His Highness to allow him to stay by his side is already a great favor. Who made him fall in love with His Highness?
As a palace maid at the side of His Highness, she had such thoughts. If people were to find out, then the only way out would be death. Now that His Highness had not really driven him away, this was already the best ending.
Tao'er New China tried to persuade herself like this, but she still couldn't bring herself to do so. Why? Why was it that even a married woman like Mu Ru Yue could obtain his highness' heart? Why couldn't I?
On the other hand.
White Mirrorjade gave everyone present the antidote.
And in the city, because of White Mirrorjade's permission, the City Lord began to take many antidotes and have the city guards distribute them from house to house. Because the antidote was already beginning to show itself.
Gradually, there was no one left in the city who was flustered.
However, there were so many people in this city that even after an entire day, the distribution of the troops still had yet to be completed. As for the antidote, it was still being concocted methodically. But now, it couldn't be created by himself.
It was only White Mirrorjade who gave the instructions, and then had the servants go to produce it.
This way, he would be able to distribute all of the antidotes within seven days.
No matter what, the first day of distribution had been quite successful. Those people had indeed managed to dispel the poison. In that case, it would mean that they were very close to success.
Night came.
After the mayor prepared dinner for everyone, he left. He was afraid that he would offend Feng Chen, so he told her to say more to him. That would be his doom.
Everyone was happy.
As for the City Lord, he once again suppressed the urge to ask about his daughter.
At this moment, he had gradually returned to his original appearance. His heart was filled with guilt and self-blame towards his daughter. In order to survive, in order to have more days to live, he had truly harmed Furong.
If it wasn't for these people saving her, who knows what would have happened.
And the most laughable thing was that, at such a crucial moment, he actually had to capture him.
Hibiscus should hate him now, right?
Thinking like this, the mayor bitterly smiled. He no longer had the bowing and kneeling from day to day, nor was he in a good mood from before. There was only endless loneliness.
When Lady Furong ran out from the courtyard and arrived at this place, what she saw was precisely his appearance.
Lady Furong looked at the City Lord, her eyes slightly sour.
No matter how much he had changed, he was still here. No matter what, he could not let go of his kinship. No matter what this person was, he was still his father.
He was also his only family member.
