Chapter 35: Awakening from a Dream (5)
Seeing Zhou Yan's action, Zhou Cheng was furious. Although the guards obeyed Zhou Cheng's orders, they also took Zhou Yan's identity into consideration and did not dare to attack him casually. As a result, they were beaten down by Zhou Yan. If Zhou Cheng had not seen it with his own eyes, he would not have believed that he could fight so well after being injured. The intense emotions caused by Zhou Yan's disregard for him could be said to be out of control...
"Hmph, so vulnerable—"
After beating the guards close to him, Zhou Yan was a little breathless because of the injuries of only two or three guards, but he still appeared to be very calm.
"My Lord, please respect yourself!"
"Well!!"
One of the guards who was blocking Zhou Yan tried to persuade him to surrender, but Zhou Yan gave him a cold look . He was so scared that he shivered and dared not say anything more. Seeing this, Zhou Yan took a step forward, but the pain from the wound on his body forced him to stop, and he staggered a little. The guards did not dare to approach easily, so they could only watch. At this moment...
“Hmm—”
Zhou Yan felt a pain in the back of his neck and then lost consciousness. When he fell, he was caught by Zhou Cheng who had knocked him unconscious. Looking at Zhou Yan who had fainted while leaning on his shoulder, Zhou Cheng felt speechless. How could his brother be so stubborn? He was obviously seriously injured, but he still insisted on fighting with the guards. This made Zhou Cheng want to know more about the secret between Yin Yin and Zhao Ziheng that Zhou Yan knew but he didn't.
"Take him to Gyeongbokgung Palace and have the imperial physician take a good look at him. Remember, keep him under strict surveillance and do not allow him to leave the palace or meet anyone—"
"yes!"
The guards were a little panicked . They took Zhou Yan from Zhou Cheng and helped him out with two guards...
"Yan——"
After Zhou Yan was taken away by the guards, Zhou Cheng called his name in a meaningful and slightly sad tone.
At dusk, General Zhao Ziheng and his entourage lived in the North City mansion.
"What? Prince Jing is under house arrest?"
"That's what I heard— "
Zhao Ziheng just woke up and heard the news that Zhou Yan was under house arrest. He couldn't understand why Zhou Yan was suddenly under house arrest? Shouldn't he have returned to [Prince Jing's Mansion]? And he should be seriously injured and not recovered. What on earth is Zhou Cheng thinking?
"Although I don't know much about Prince Jing, based on the situation between him and Prince Zhou, I guessed that this day would come sooner or later. This is a newly prepared decoction that will be helpful to your body—"
Wang Ye came to the bedside with a bowl of medicine and continued to talk, handing the prepared medicine to Zhao Ziheng...
"Thanks--"
Zhao Ziheng seemed to drink the medicine without any intention. He knew that Zhou Yan and Zhou Cheng did not get along well. Zhou Yan was extreme in his behavior, so Zhou Cheng tolerated him because he was a blood brother. But at this time, he suddenly put Zhou Yan, who was seriously injured and not yet recovered, under house arrest. Was it just because he had reached his limit? Or?
Zhao Ziheng suddenly thought of something, and drank the extremely bitter medicine in one gulp, then returned the empty bowl to Wang Ye. This action surprised Wang Ye a little. He drank the medicine he prepared in one breath without even blinking an eye? You know, the medicine he prepared was not only bitter, but also strong. If it were someone else, Gu Qi would have spit it out as soon as the medicine entered his mouth. I knew Zhao Ziheng's perseverance was not as good as that of ordinary people, but this time he was surprisingly calm compared to the past...
"I have something I want to ask you. Please answer me the truth no matter what."
Putting aside all thoughts, Wang Ye's expression became very serious and he began to ask Zhao Ziheng questions.
"What's up?"
"When did your body start to show abnormalities?"
Wang Ye's words startled Zhao Ziheng. Wang Ye noticed this slight change and said: "Please tell the truth and don't hide anything!"
"Tell the truth, what's the use? There's nothing you can do, right?"
"Even if you are powerless, please don't hide anything, even if it's for Miss Wang——"
Miss Wang is how Wang Ye calls Yin Yin's real name, because Wang Ye knows that if Yin Yin is not mentioned, Zhao Ziheng will never obey obediently. Even if it is for his own good, he will hide some unknown things for Yin Yin.
"…Almost three months."
Sure enough, mentioning Yin Yin had an extraordinary effect, and Zhao Ziheng would answer obediently.
"Got it. If you are doing this for Miss Wang's sake, then please stay calm no matter what the circumstances. Don't keep everything to yourself. Be optimistic about everything. Even when it comes to Miss Wang's affairs, please keep a calm mind. You don't have to worry about anything. Today is already the fifteenth day. According to calculations, the medicine developed with 'Flame Flower' and 'Ice Grass' should have had some effect. I'm going to the Imperial Mausoleum now, so you just wait here for news—"
Wang Ye actually knew the reason when he felt Zhao Ziheng's pulse. He just confirmed his guess. While warning Zhao Ziheng, he also revealed another hidden secret. It took fifteen days for a reaction? Just as expected, Zhao Ziheng was stunned after hearing Wang Ye's words. Wang Ye said nothing and left the room with an empty bowl...
"Shu'er——"
Imperial mausoleum ice cellar.
The person lying on the ice bed trembled slightly, and then his tightly closed eyes slowly opened...
'Who is calling me? '.
Just like waking up from a dream, Yinyin became aware of the familiar voice that came , and thus woke up from the dream...
