C69 (1/2)

Maki Zin walked to Zhao Min's side and roughly told her what had happened. Zhao Min sighed, then walked to the side of Fan Yao's corpse, ”I never expected that he had hidden it so deeply, and if not for father saying that 'those of my race must have different hearts,' then if it wasn't for the fact that I trust him too much, he would have already exposed countless of secrets.”

Although Zhao Min said it easily, Maki Zin knew that she was just consoling himself, and was trying his best to find a reason why he was going to die, to calm his heart down. How could Maki Zin not see the pain in his eyes, but he could not say anything, because the person who killed him was himself.

”Big brother Maki Zin, tell me, who can be trusted?” Zhao Min had been by Zhao Min's side since a young age, so if she were to say that his death had any effect on Zhao Min, it would be impossible for it to happen at that time.

When Maki Zin heard the sound of footsteps, he knew that Zhao Min's personal guards were here. He placed his hand on her shoulder, pointed at her nose, and only said, ”It's yourself.” He turned around and walked towards the Prince Kang Palace.'s voice suddenly came from behind him, ”Big Brother Maki Zin, aside from myself, I still believe in you. Forever!”

Maki Zin's mouth flashed a smile as he made a backhand gesture and left. Once Zhao Min said that, she felt her face heating up, and upon seeing Fan Yao's corpse, her heart calmed down, and told the soldiers to take care of it, and did not mention anything about Maki Zin killing Fan Yao, returning home.

The moment Maki Zin entered the house, the butler told him that the Prince Kang was waiting in the study. Maki Zin nodded and walked towards the study room. Although the relationship between him and this father had gradually turned peaceful over the years, there was still some distance between them.

Maki Zin opened the door of the study, and was about to arrive at Prince Kang, who was earnestly reading under the candles. He didn't know why his father spent eighty percent of the year in the study, didn't he hand over all the authority he had to the Emperor?

”Father, what do you need me for?” Maki Zin was unable to find an opening answer, he could only ask straightforwardly. Prince Kang replied and raised his head to look at Maki Zin, ”Oh, you're here, sit, look at the table in front of you.” He said it so casually and Maki Zin's heart warmed. He knew that the Prince Kang was very strict with everything, and put him in a very important position whenever they wanted. This was the father's attitude towards his son, and he displayed that he did not care about him at all.

Mu Ren sat down and poured himself a cup of tea to wipe it off. His chest was hurting more and more, so he took a sip before feeling better. When he saw Kang Wang looking at him, he smiled and asked, ”Are you not feeling well?

”It's fine, it's always like this.” Maki Zin giggled, and then activated the muscles in his chest. He immediately let out a cold snort, and his forehead was drenched in cold sweat. Prince Kang put down the book in his hands and quickly walked in front of Maki Zin.

When Prince Kang saw Maki Zin's expression, he knew what he was thinking and said, ”I used to lead troops in battles, so it's unavoidable for me to get hurt by my subordinates. So I always brought along some random medicine or something similar.” Actually, Prince Kang's medicine was a rare and famous medicine, it was left behind by the famous doctors who requested for Maki Zin's treatment in the recent months. He and Maki Zin rarely met, so he often brought it with him, and it looked like it was a treasure.

Maki Zin swallowed three pellets, and indeed, the feeling of pain disappeared.

”My royal brother summoned me a few days ago and asked me to help him. The Crown Prince also asked me to help him.” The Prince Kang sat opposite of Maki Zin and sighed. His tone was full of helplessness, both the Emperor and the Crown Prince should have placed importance on him, so he should be happy.

”The Emperor is useless. He wants the Royal Father to eliminate the threat of Ming Religion for him, that is something that he cannot do. As for the crown prince, he probably wants you to say some good words in front of the Emperor, to win him over!” Maki Zin put down his teacup and said to Prince Kang.

Logically speaking, Maki Zin's words were said with treason and treason. If someone else had said something like ”The Emperor is useless” in front of the Prince Kang, they would have already been pulled out and killed. But when Maki Zin said it, the Prince Kang's expression became even more helpless, and his eyes were filled with praise when looking at Maki Zin.

In the past, when the Royal Father left, I didn't want to see the situation of us killing each other, so I surrounded the army I was leading and called the Seventh Prince's disciple An Nai. Only then did I suppress the few royal brothers who were unwilling to accept this, and follow the orders of the previous King. Prince Kang seemed to have returned to the beginning, ”He wasn't like this in the past.”
