Houfu Key Class

Although Huaishui's martial arts skills are high, as the prince's confidant, he naturally did not expect Zong Zhao to suddenly attack.

When masters fight, the victory or defeat is in an instant.

And he was completely unprepared and was stabbed through by Zong Zhao, without even a chance to explain.

Blood gushed out, and Huaishui died on the spot.

"Zong Zhao! What are you doing? He is Huaishui, the prince's confidant!" The princess reacted and ran over quickly to check Huaishui's breathing.

——He has died.

Zong Zhao looked at Huaishui's body and said coldly: "If he doesn't die, the poison in the prince's body will never be cured."

The little devil held his face with both hands, widened his eyes, shocked by what he heard.

What? The prince is actually poisoned?

Someone is really harming him!

Or Huaishui? ?

How could it be Huaishui? ? Huaishui is as important to His Highness as Bu Yan is to him...

The Crown Princess was shocked, thinking of the poison that could not be found. She looked at the corpse in disbelief and said in a trembling voice: "Is it Huaishui? Is it Huaishui who has been harming His Highness? But how could it be? He has been by His Highness's side since he was a child. He is His Highness' most trusted and intimate guard. It is impossible for him to be bribed..."

The Crown Princess was halfway through her words, and the doubts that had flashed through her mind once again emerged...

"Impossible... His Highness said it was impossible." The Crown Princess shook her head in panic, not daring to believe the answer.

Zong Zhao did not explain much, but only raised his eyes and told: "Your Majesty, just focus on taking care of His Highness. Leave the matters outside the Eastern Palace to me. I will give His Highness justice."

The Crown Princess choked up and said: "Okay, you saved His Highness's life, so you are my benefactor. I will do whatever you say."

Although the two met for the first time, the Crown Princess could feel that Zong Zhao valued His Highness. There are many people in the world who want to harm His Highness, but there are also many people who want to save His Highness.

Zong Zhao is worthy of her trust.

Huaishui's body was still bleeding, and the little devil was getting more and more scared, but after all, in front of his father, he still had an idol burden. He quietly moved small steps to Zong Zhao's side, feeling that this would make him feel more secure.

Zong Zhao wiped the blood on the red tasseled spear and even found a reason for her: "My queen, Huaishui was eager to save His Highness and tried the medicine on himself, but unfortunately died. This loyalty is really touching. I hope that the East Palace can bury him with honor to comfort his soul in heaven."

Crown Princess: "..."

If Huaishui could still hear you, he would be so angry that he would slam the coffin and stand up.

The little devil swallowed his saliva and tried to pretend that he didn't exist. Dad didn't even blink when he made up lies. Grandfather also said that he didn't look like his father. How could he not look like him?

He is obviously as good as his father in acting!

The Crown Princess summoned the confidants of the Duke's Mansion and watched them secretly deal with Huaishui's body.

At the palace gate.

As soon as Xu Wan arrived, she saw the little devil jumping out. He waved to his mother excitedly: "Mom, I'm here! I saw Dad, he's back!"

The guards turned back one after another after hearing this shout, but Zong Jincheng didn't feel embarrassed at all, and was particularly proud.

Humph, Dad is back.

From now on, his parents are by his side, and he is the happiest person in the world!

Xu Wan walked over quickly, grabbed the little devil's shoulder and checked: "Nothing happened, right? Why did you come to the East Palace so early in the morning? And why did you come out by yourself? Where is your father?"

Behind Zong Jincheng, there was no one.

There was only the maid who sent him out of the East Palace.

The little devil helped her get on the carriage and explained: "Dad went to see the emperor and will be back later. Let me go home with you first. Grandpa and grandma must be very happy."

Zong Jincheng told her what happened in the East Palace along the way, from the prince's coma, to his father appearing to treat the prince, to the quick killing of Huaishui, which shocked Xu Wan so much that her eyes widened.

The little devil said excitedly: "Yes, I was also so shocked just now. I didn't expect Huaishui to be a bad guy. He almost killed the prince and deceived my feelings. Humph, fortunately, my father came back in time, rescued the prince, and killed the bad guy. Dad is so amazing. I have never seen such an amazing person. He is like a god from heaven and a fairy in the world!"

Xu Wan: "..."

You kid, you brag about yourself and your father. It seems that all the fairies in the sky have been reincarnated into your family...

The little devil chattered excitedly, telling her about Zong Zhao's performance in the palace over and over again, causing Xu Wan to imagine multiple versions of his awesome appearance in TV, movies, and short plays, although she was not at the scene.

"Stop, stop, stop--" Xu Wan couldn't bear it anymore, and said with a smile, "You have said that shot of your father eight times, and I can recite it for you."

Why is the way back to the Marquis's Mansion so far? Help...

This chatterbox kid is so scary.

The little devil was interrupted and pouted his lips in grievance: "Mom, I'm excited, so I want to say it more."

Xu Wan really didn't want to listen to him chattering back and forth, so she tried to change the subject: "Just before entering the palace, I heard someone call your father 'General', do you know why?"

"Ah?" The little devil scratched his head and said, "I didn't hear it, why would he call him general? Dad didn't lead the troops to fight. When he disappeared, he had just been to the barracks not long ago and hadn't become a general yet."

Xu Wan pondered: "Generals are usually appointed by the emperor. Did your father come back very early?"

Zong Jincheng scratched his head and subconsciously refuted: "I don't know, but mother, our Great Chu has more than just this kind of general."

"Huh?" Xu Wan was puzzled.

Zong Jincheng hissed and said, "I remember it is written in the military books that when a general is away from home, he may not obey the orders of the emperor. The general who leads the entire army can appoint generals on the front line, and after returning to the court, he will reward them according to their merits."

Xu Wan frowned and said, "But now it seems that the only general fighting outside is Luo Jingfeng."

Zong Jincheng: "..."

The little devil immediately changed his words: "It must be the emperor who secretly appointed him. Dad will not mix with Luo Jingfeng, the traitor."

"Puff," Xu Wan was amused by him and teased, "You are a vengeful person, now you directly call him a traitor?"

Zong Jincheng snorted and said, "He is a traitor, a bad guy, bullying His Highness and me, he is not a good person."

Xu Wan chuckled and reminded: "Be restrained, Luo Jingfeng will withdraw his troops and return to the court this month, don't scold him when the time comes."

The little devil stuck out his tongue and stopped complaining.

Yuanyang Marquis Mansion

As soon as Xu Wan and Zong Jincheng got off the carriage, they saw that the house was full of red lanterns, from the door to the yard, decorated with lights and colors, comparable to a newlywed scene.

The little devil said to her: "This is an old tradition in our family, mother, calm down."

Xu Wan: "..."

I really can't calm down at all, my father-in-law and mother-in-law are too fast, it's not even an hour, they actually decorated the house, just to welcome Zong Zhao back.
