Medical clinic.

"stop!"

Just as the Jin Yiwei was preparing to escort Xiao Ling'er back to the house on Zhu Yunxi's order, a sharp shout suddenly came from outside the door.

"I want to see the healer...don't you see that I'm almost terminally ill?"

"cough cough..."

A sickly young man staggered and stood outside the door. He said with a weak face, and he was about to forcefully bypass the Jinyi guards guarding the door and enter the hospital.

"It's closed! Come back tomorrow!"

Jin Yiwei raised his hand to stop him and said coldly.

"Are you going to die without saving me? Isn't this door still open?"

"The lights are still on inside, why don't you let me in?"

The visitor looked at the Jin Yiwei who stopped him with some dissatisfaction, and said aggrievedly.

Hearing the words, Zhu Yunxi raised his hand to stop the Jinyi guards who were about to escort Xiao Ling'er away. He squinted his eyes and looked up at the door.

"Cough cough..."

I saw the man crossing his hands in a cross shape while coughing, facing the clinic inside the door, and his eyes were looking inward intentionally or unintentionally.

Seeing the man's gesture, Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Let him in!"

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Yunxi raised his voice and said something outside.

After hearing Zhu Yunxi's order, the Jin Yiwei outside stepped aside and put the sick young man into the hospital.

"Healer? Healer?"

The young man staggered in, looking around and shouting weakly.

"The doctor is very busy right now and can't take care of you. If there's anything wrong, I'll take a look for you."

"Come with me."

Zhu Yunxi stood up with a smile. As he spoke, he walked to the side room next to him. When he turned around, he winked at Hong Yuan.

Hong Yuan understood immediately and followed Zhu Yunxi closely.

The young man hesitated for a moment, then dragged his tired body slowly into the side room.

Xiao Ling'er froze on the spot, looking at the slowly closing door in confusion, as if she didn't expect that Zhu Yunxi actually knew medical skills.

However, when the door closed, the sick young man who followed Zhu Yunxi into the room suddenly straightened up and looked at Zhu Yunxi expressionlessly. He did not look like a sick person at all!

"What's the matter?!"

Zhu Yunxi sat on a chair nearby, looked at the young man, and asked lightly.

"Your Majesty sent a message to Kyoto, and wanted to ask the humble minister to question His Highness. Didn't he say that he wanted to prevent His Majesty from appointing a grandson? How come he is now sitting on the position of grandson?!"

"Has Your Highness forgotten the original agreement between you and the prince?!"

The young man had a sullen face, looked at Zhu Yunxi coldly, and asked indifferently.

The prince he was talking about was none other than Qin King Zhu Ping!

And the action he just made with his hands folded and folded outside the door was the contact code that Zhu Ping had told Zhu Yunxi before he left the capital!

This is where we come to ask questions!

"Even if the registration ceremony of the second emperor's grandson is blocked by this palace, the position of the crown prince cannot remain vacant. Rather than fall into the hands of other vassal princes, wouldn't this palace be the best candidate?"

"For me to take the position of crown prince, it should be the best outcome for my second uncle, right? It will reassure him more than falling into the hands of others, right?"

Zhu Yunxi looked at the young man, sneered, and asked.

Hearing Zhu Yunxi's answer, the young man frowned and fell into silence.

"If my second uncle doesn't believe me, he can terminate the covenant at any time. I don't care. Anyway, Your Majesty has more than one son, so I have plenty of choices."

When Zhu Yunxi saw that the young man was silent, he added another sentence with a hint of disdain in the corner of his mouth.

"Your Majesty, I will return your humble duty to the prince as it is, but I still hope that you will not forget the agreement you made with the prince, so that everyone will not break up over it when the time comes."

The young man paused, said something in a deep voice, and turned around to leave.

"and many more!"

But Zhu Yunxi spoke again and stopped the young man coldly.

"Any other instructions, Your Highness?"

The young man turned around, looked at Zhu Yunxi expressionlessly, and asked in a deep voice.

"You have to make it clear that the person who formed an alliance with me is my second uncle, not you! As far as I am concerned, you are just a dog that my second uncle planted in Kyoto!"

"Since it is a dog, then be a docile dog and don't show your teeth to everyone, or you will die!"

Zhu Yunxi squinted his eyes, stared at the young man, and spoke word by word.

As Zhu Yunxi finished speaking, Hongyuan slowly took a step forward, her eyes already full of murderous intent!

"I know my fault for my humble position!"

"If I offended His Highness with my words just now, please forgive me."

The young man's scalp tightened, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground and bowed respectfully, showing nervousness on his face.

"There will be no second chances, remember."

"Go ahead and don't forget to pick up the medicine when you leave."

Zhu Yunxi waved his hand and said disdainfully.

The young man agreed, stood up and left in a hurry, not daring to look at Hong Yuan again. The trace of murderous aura that Hong Yuan showed just now had already made his back wet with cold sweat.

Soon, the young man found the clerk at the medical clinic, made up a random excuse, took two packs of medicine, pretended to be terminally ill, and slowly left the medical clinic, disappearing into the streets of Kyoto under the night.

"Who is he? Why have you been in there for so long? Do you know him?"

After seeing Zhu Yunxi come out of the side room, Xiao Ling'er blinked and asked curiously, with a little doubt between his eyebrows.

"It's not your place to ask, so don't ask more."

"It's time for you to go back."

Zhu Yunxi glanced at Xiao Linger and said in a deep voice.

"Oh..."

"Do you really know medical skills?"

Xiao Ling'er curled her lips in agreement, and then suddenly asked curiously.

"You have too many questions!"

"Someone, take Miss Xiao back home!"

Zhu Yunxi shook his head and ordered in a deep voice.

I have to say that Xiao Ling'er may seem arrogant, but she is very thoughtful.

However, at this moment, there was another commotion outside the medical center. Dozens of officers and soldiers appeared outside the medical center. A figure quickly dismounted from his horse and walked quickly into the medical center.

It was Xiao Huan, the commander of the pro-military guards.

Seeing Xiao Huan coming, the Jin Yiwei outside the door hurriedly bowed his hands and moved out of the way.

"Your Highness?! Are you okay?!"

From a distance, Xiao Huan looked at Zhu Yunxi who was standing in the clinic with an anxious look and asked loudly.

"It turns out to be Commander Xiao. I'm fine. Why are you here?"

Zhu Yunxi smiled and asked slowly.

"I have already gone to Mixue Bing Pavilion and took control of the scene. The killer's body was also carried back to the Yamen. I heard that you came to the medical center and immediately came to look for it."

"Are you really okay?"

As Xiao Huan explained, he looked Zhu Yunxi up and down with a nervous look on his face.

"It's really okay."

"You just happened to be here, so you can personally escort your daughter back to your home."

Zhu Yunxi nodded seriously, pointed at Xiao Ling'er who was standing aside and said with a smile.

Hearing Zhu Yunxi's answer, Xiao Huan finally breathed a sigh of relief, but it was only then that he realized that his daughter was actually here.

"Why are you here?"

Xiao Huan looked at her daughter in confusion and asked in confusion.

Xiao Ling'er moved her lips without explaining.

"She was also present when I was assassinated."

"Commander Xiao has done a good job in teaching his daughter. I am safe and sound this time, thanks to her."

"Even if I owe you a favor, if you need help with anything in the future, you can always come to me."

Zhu Yunxi smiled and explained for Xiao Linger.

"Your Highness is serious."

"Even if something happens to me in my humble position, how can I dare to trouble His Highness so easily?"

Xiao Huan was stunned for a moment, smiled, bowed his hands, and said politely, but he was already happy in his heart.

Not everyone has the opportunity to be able to owe a favor to the newly promoted grandson.

His response also showed his skill. How dare he bother His Highness so easily? Although it seemed like a rejection, the word "easily" was very appropriate. It not only lowered his status, but also left a chance.

It’s not that he doesn’t need to bother, but he wants to make good use of this favor!

"Commander Xiao is too polite. Don't worry, I will keep my word."

Zhu Yunxi waved his hand and said seriously.

Since Zhu Yuanzhang intends to support Xiao Huan as his foundation, he might as well just go with the flow and follow the trend.

"By the way, Your Highness, since all the killers have been brought to justice, I will go back to the Yamen to investigate carefully. After confirming their identities, I will report to Your Highness and His Majesty immediately."

Xiao Huan smiled, bowed his hands, and said respectfully.

"There is no need to investigate. He is against the party."

However, Zhu Yunxi shook his head and said lightly.

Hearing Zhu Yunxi's answer, Xiao Huan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Even Hong Yuan, who was standing aside, hesitated, but seemed to understand His Highness's intention instantly...
