Reborn into Young Master Huo’s Little Fairy-Chapter 573 - : He Was Captured
Chapter 573: He Was Captured
When Wen Ruan and Zhou Heng returned to the banquet hall, Huo Hannian and Nangong Han were no longer in their seats.
The old king’s trusted aide came over and asked Zhou Heng to make a trip to his palace.
The old king’s health was deteriorating, and he could no longer attend such large-scale palace banquets.
After Zhou Heng informed Wen Ruan, he left with the old king’s trusted aide.
Nangong Xiao looked at Zhou Heng’s back and asked the person beside him in a low voice,” Is everything arranged?”
“Don’t worry, my lord. Everything has been arranged properly. This time, Lord Dian Bei would not be able to leave the palace unless he handed over the commander’s seal.”
.
In the old king’s palace.
When he saw Zhou Heng, the old king waved at him.” Ah Heng looks more and more like your father.””
When the grandfather of the old king conquered Country K, the old King of Northern Dian had contributed a lot.
The old king had watched Zhou Heng grow up. All these years, because of his existence, no one dared to invade the border.
Although there had always been people who said that Zhou Heng’s achievements surpassed his master’s, the old king believed that he did not have the heart to rebel.
Zhou Heng saw that the old king could only lie on the bed with a weak expression and could go to see the King of Hell at any time. He could not help but frown.” I heard that your health is not good. I brought Lingzhi ginseng from northern Yunnan. You must take care of yourself!””
The old king held Zhou Heng’s hand and shook his head with a smile.” I’m old and won’t live for long. Ah Heng, I want to ask you for a favor. Assist the King well. I know he’s very suspicious and thinks that you’re more respected by the people, but he’s still the King of a country.”
Zhou Heng looked at the old king with a complicated expression and sighed in his heart.
He did his best to pave the way for Nangong Xiao to become a monarch, but was Nangong Xiao really worth it? fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
Ah Heng, why aren’t you saying anything?”
Zhou Heng frowned.”Don’t worry, I’m loyal to the royal family of Country K. I won’t have the intention to rebel!”
Hearing Zhou Heng’s words, the old king was relieved.
He laughed, but as he laughed, he coughed violently.
He couldn’t stop coughing.
Zhou Heng was just about to stroke his chest when he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, which landed on Zhou Heng’s body.
Just as Zhou Heng was about to say something, there was a sudden movement at the door.
Nangong Xiao came over with more than ten guards. When he saw the old king vomiting blood, Nangong Xiao’s expression changed and he shouted angrily,” Men, arrest the King of Northern Dian who murdered the old king!”
The old king opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but not a single word came out.
He held his chest with one hand and pointed at Nangong Xiao with the other. King Dian Bei…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Nangong Xiao sat by the bed and held his hand tightly.” Father, don’t worry. I won’t let this thief who wants to harm you off easily!”
Nangong Xiao glanced at the guard who was holding Zhou Heng.” Why aren’t you taking him away?”
From the beginning to the end, Zhou Heng did not defend himself.
After Zhou Heng was taken away, Nangong Xiao called for a doctor.
After giving the doctor a look, he strode away.
If it wasn’t for the fact that the old king still had some value, Nangong Xiao wouldn’t have let him live until today.
Making use of the old king to overthrow the King of Dian Bei, arranging for his men to be the King of Dian Bei, and taking away the commander’s seal of Dian Bei, this was what Nangong Xiao wanted to do the most in recent years!
In recent years, Zhou Heng’s reputation and prestige had always been very high among the people.
Nangong Xiao had long wanted to deal with Zhou Heng!
This time, the crime of murdering the old king was enough to execute him!
..
Wen Ruan was brought to the VIP lounge in the palace.
After waiting for almost an hour, Zhou Heng did not come over.
She had a bad feeling that something might have happened to Zhou Heng.
As expected, Zhou Heng’s trusted aide came to report that Zhou Heng had been captured by Nangong Xiao.
Wen Ruan’s expression changed when he learned that Nangong Xiao had imprisoned Zhou Heng for murdering the old King.
It seemed that Nangong Xiao was planning to execute Zhou Heng.
Wen Ruan walked around the room twice. She thought about what Zhou Heng had told her before she came. He had already arranged everything. Even if she encountered danger, she should not be too flustered. She calmed down a lot.
“Let’s wait and see.”
Wen Ruan was waiting in the lounge. Around evening, someone knocked on the door.
Wen Ruan stepped forward and opened the door.
Huo Hannian, who was dressed in black, stood at the door with Nangong Han beside him.
After exchanging a glance with Wen Ruan, Huo Hannian walked in first, and the woman beside him followed him into the lounge.
“Exchange your clothes and disguise with her. You only have five minutes. I’ll take you to see the old king later.”Huo Hannian looked at Wen Ruan expressionlessly.
Wen Ruan didn’t ask any further questions. Zhou Heng must have communicated with Huo Hannian beforehand.
She also realized that the woman he brought over was not the real Nangong Han.
She and the woman quickly changed their identities and left the lounge with Huo Hannian.
Along the way, the two of them walked side by side and did not talk much.
By the time they reached the old King’s palace, there were already countless guards guarding it.
Seeing Huo Hannian and Nangong Han, the guard said awkwardly,” The old king is seriously ill. The King has ordered that no one is allowed to disturb his peace.”
Huo Hannian raised his long arm and wrapped it around Wen Ruan’s slender shoulders.” We’ll only stay for a moment before we leave. The princess is pregnant and she wants to tell the old king the good news.”
The guard hesitated for a few seconds before stepping back and letting the two of them in.” Princess, Fuma, you have to be quick. Otherwise, if the King finds out, it will be difficult for us to report.””
After Huo Hannian and Wen Ruan entered the old king’s bedroom, Huo Hannian dismissed the servants inside and handed a document to Wen Ruan.” I’ve already gotten the DNA report. Try to be quick.””
Wen Ruan nodded.” I know.””
When she reached the bedside, Wen Ruan looked at the old King who was much thinner and weaker than he was four years ago. She sighed slightly.
She held his hand and felt his pulse.
His body was poisoned by a slow-acting poison. This poison would slowly accumulate in his body over the years.
If it was four years ago, with her medical skills, she might not have been able to detect this poison.
However, in the past four years, she had constantly improved her medical skills. Therefore, she was able to detect the poison in the old king’s body.
It was definitely impossible to get rid of it.
This colorless and odorless poison had already seeped into his internal organs.
However, it was not to the extent that he would die immediately. If he was treated well, he might be able to live for another year or two.
Wen Ruancong took out a silver needle and inserted it into the old king’s acupuncture points.
The old King, who had fallen asleep, slowly woke up. He looked at Wen Ruan, who was sitting by the bed with a silver needle in her hand. He said weakly,” Han ‘er, how did you learn medicine?””
Wen Ruan helped the old king up from the bed. She held the old king’s hand and said,” You’re weak now. I shouldn’t be telling you this, but the situation is urgent. Promise me that no matter what you see, you must remain calm because your health now affects the future of the K Nation’s royal family!”
