Jin Chupei believed that his and Sun Jinzi's arrival was only an accident.
The outcome of the matter would not change because of them.
With these words, Sun Jinzi felt a little better. Otherwise, she would have felt that she had indirectly caused the death of these innocent commoners.
They should not have died with those officials.
But they were dead.
”In that case, it doesn't really mean anything.” Sun Jinzi was not stupid, even if she was comforted by Jin Chupei, she could not do anything about it.
The only thing to be thankful for was that they were not part of the fire.
”Zi Er, her ambitions are becoming more and more obvious. This matter might have been done by her, but she has hidden it too deeply, so they have no way of finding any evidence that she made a move on us.
Sun Jinzi frowned, thinking of Sima Yuzhu's beautiful appearance, and the man with a broken arm who would often surround her, a thought flashed through her mind.
”Maybe she doesn't need to do it herself.”
Jin Chupei frowned, and then slowly relaxed.
”I understand. However, there is no evidence for this, so we have to create evidence as well, because the attributes of the officials seem to belong to the First Prince. Of course, there is also that Prince.”
”It's done.”
The only thing they could do now was to uncover all of this without batting an eyelid.
Let everyone who should know know.
Ruan City was a warm place, and it was said that it was always spring.
Some of the foreign merchants would secretly call it Spring City, but Easterner did not like this name. Thus, there were very few people who dared to call it that.
However, this also made it clear that their climate had always been very comfortable.
As the temperature rose, Sun Jinzi's body became more and more comfortable.
”I feel like I don't need to take that medicine anymore.” Sun Jinzi stroked the purple pill in her hand.
This pill's color changed?
Or did she remember incorrectly?
Sun Jinzi blinked her eyes. She seemed to have lost her memories recently.
He could never remember what he had done.
Only the nearest, not very far.
She guessed that the cold poison had already invaded her brain.
”Zi Er... Hold on for a moment, we're almost there. ”
When they arrived at the Ruan City, the first to arrive, Thunder, had already prepared everything. They believed that they were getting closer and closer to the antidote.
At this moment, everyone's mood improved along with the warm weather.
Even Emperor of the East Chu, who was a prisoner in the actual sense, was inexplicably happy.
At this time, the way he looked at Sima Yuzhu was much better.
There was no doubt, only trust.
”Yu Zhu, we're back.”
”royal father, do you need a daughter?”
Sima Yuzhu wanted to get rid of the person who kidnapped her, royal father.
Of course, she would only get rid of Sun Jinzi. As for Jin Chupei, he had come to her doorstep, and on the day that she completed her task, she would leave him here, in the harem …
Sima Yuzhu thought about it too much.
When he turned his head back again, the look in his eyes towards Emperor of the East Chu was filled with admiration.
She was still that obedient daughter again.
Emperor of the East Chu looked at her daughter, whom she had spoiled a lot.
How did it change?
”royal father, are we returning to the palace?”
Sima Yuzhu didn't know what to say. She was very excited to be back at Easternum, but her royal father wasn't happy.
”It's not up to me.” Emperor of the East Chu looked at Jin Chupei behind him.
He did not bind him, nor did he use a knife against him, but he did give him medicine.
It was said that the medicine was made by Ji Zi's Divine Doctor, if it was the medicine made by the others, then that would be fine, but Ji Zi's Divine Doctor was renowned throughout the world, and had never shown himself, so he didn't dare to gamble.
”The Emperor is free to go wherever he wants.”
Jin Chupei pointed to the direction of the palace.
”I would like to invite my wife and husband to stay in the palace for a few days. I wonder if you would like to honor me?”
The antidote was not in the palace, so Sun Jinzi had already known about it.
”Many thanks for the emperor's good intentions. The two of us are used to idling around, so we aren't used to living in such a luxurious palace. In my opinion, we might as well stay at a relay station.”
The soldiers guarding the relay station were not very powerful, so it would be easy for them to sneak out in the middle of the night to do something.
If he wanted to sneak out of the palace, that was not certain.
”Perhaps what you want is in the palace.” The Emperor of the East Chu had only heard about the cold poison, and had never seen it before. Thus, he was unable to help.
If he could, he would definitely get the antidote and place ten different kinds of poisons inside. He would let Jin Chupei personally feed it to Sun Jinzi to quell the hatred in his heart that Jin Chupei had kidnapped and poisoned him.
However, the current him was unable to do so.
