Chapter 919 The Prince’s Reward
After a brief discussion, they decided to face it together.
Mi Yao and Lan Tong walked towards the gate, one in front and one behind.
They didn't dare to open the door rashly, so Lan Tong asked the questions carefully.
"Who is coming?"
Gu Yuanqiong's voice came from outside the door, sounding very weak.
"It's the King..."
"We met, Yin Sitai, do you still remember me?"
Lan Tong was confused by what he heard.
"Yin Sitai?"
"My king?"
"Girl, have you been to Yinsitai?"
After asking, she roughly guessed the reason and was shocked.
"You didn't find that person, and you wanted to taint my purity, so you collected evidence and went to sue me?"
"Oh, you are a fool, don't offend the rich and powerful for the sake of your servants."
"Our situation is already dangerous. If we provoke other enemies, it will only bring harm and no benefit..."
Mi Yao interrupted her.
"It's okay, don't worry."
Lan Tong was extremely uneasy.
"How can this servant feel at ease..."
Mi Yao interrupted again.
"Don't be so quick to complain, let's entertain our guests first."
She opened the door and saw a man supporting the prince.
The man was either a guard or an attendant; the prince seemed to be seriously injured.
There was no time to ask how the prince knew where she lived. Saving people was the most important thing at the moment, so she gestured for him to come in.
"Please come in and take a seat, my Lord."
"Tong'er, go get the doctor."
Lan Tong left in response.
"Yes."
Zou Xi spoke up and called her to stop.
"Mr. Tong'er, please be patient."
"Your Highness's whereabouts must not be disclosed to others, or you may be assassinated."
"The injury is not serious. Please give me some medicine to treat the external injuries. I will help the prince apply the medicine."
The blue-eyed man turned his gaze to the girl, gave her a confirming look, understood, and returned to the house.
Mi Yao led the way and settled them in the outer room.
Lan Tong returned to her room, got the medicine and gave it to Zou Xi.
As they were injured and felt a little uncomfortable, Mi Yao and the other person avoided them and went into the inner room.
Zou Xi followed Mi Yao's steps and looked towards the inner room.
When he looked back, he saw the prince curling his lips in a smile, and he lowered his eyes guiltily.
Gu Yuanqiong saw through his heart.
"how?"
"Zou Shaolang is interested in them? This is their blessing."
"Excuse me, young master, which woman do you like?"
Zou Wei did not reveal his inner thoughts, but instead tried to test them.
"Your Majesty, your words are too serious."
"How dare I take away the prince's love?"
"I was just curious about the style of the woman's purse. I thought it was very unique, so I took a closer look."
Gu Yuanqiong chuckled, revealing a hint of contempt.
"Ah."
"They don't have purses hanging around their waists."
"Where does the style come from?"
Zou Xi's face turned pale.
"This……"
Gu Yuanqiong was serious and made false promises.
"Cooperate with me in my plan. Once it's done, you can play with those two as you like."
"If this doesn't work out, you know what I will do."
Hearing that he had bad intentions and was not sincere towards them, Zou Wei was respectful on the surface but was secretly angry.
"Yes."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."
Pretending to have finished applying the medicine, Zou Xi took the silver and knocked on the door of the inner room.
"My two nobles, please allow me to see you."
Mi Yao opened the door and Lan Tong followed behind the girl.
Zou Xi smiled slightly and handed over the silver.
"The prince's body is fine now, thanks to the two of you for your help."
"You have done a great service in saving Prince Dijin. This is a reward from the prince. Please kneel down to receive it and express your gratitude."
Mi Yao and Lan Tong were both shocked.
"King Dijin? He is King Dijin?"
Before she could come up with any plan, King Di Jin descended from the sky, and Mi Yao was extremely excited.
Zou Wei pretended to be stunned.
"Why are you so surprised?"
"Are you two not familiar with each other?"
Gu Yuanqiong pretended to be serious.
"She only knows that I am a prince, but not my specific identity."
"I don't know her maiden name either."
"We are not very familiar with each other."
Zou Xi was surprised and sad.
"what?"
"Your Highness chose this place to heal his wounds. I thought you two knew each other well and were good friends, so I escorted you all the way here."
"Please forgive me for being so talkative. The prince's safety is of vital importance. How can I easily entrust it to a stranger? If something unexpected happens, how can I explain it to the officials in the Supervisory Office when I return?"
Gu Yuanqiong, Yuanqiong, Lilan, are both upright.
"No need to persuade me, I know my limits."
"I believe in the character of this noble lady. She will never harm me."
Mi Yao is humble and respectful.
"Yes, Your Majesty, please rest assured that I have no evil intentions."
"I feel unworthy of receiving this reward. Please take back your order, Your Majesty."
Gu Yuanqiong expressed his confusion.
"This is the first time someone refuses to accept a reward from this king."
"May I ask why?"
Meeting King Di Jin was truly a blessing from heaven, and Mi Yao seized the opportunity and made progress proactively.
"If the prince insists on giving me a reward, I have a little selfish desire, so I beg the prince to fulfill it."
Gu Yuanqiong smiled and nodded.
"Appreciate further details."
Mi Yao made a request.
"Your Majesty is visiting incognito. He must be dealing with state affairs. He may need to stay in a small county for a while."
"I want to know where the prince lives. Please allow me to visit him every day."
Gu Yuanqiong was generous and generous.
"It's unsafe for a young girl to go out. I have ordered the groom to pick you up every day."
Mi Yao was overjoyed.
"Thank you, Your Majesty for your grace."
Gu Yuanqiong supported himself on the armrest of the bench and stood up with difficulty.
"I have important matters to attend to. I will leave now."
"See you tomorrow."
Mi Yao took Lan Tong and saluted together.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty."
"Congratulations, my lord."
After seeing the two off, Lan Tong closed the door, locked it again, helped the girl back to the outer room.
The more Lan Tong thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, so he began to question it.
"I've heard that besides practicing medicine, Prince Di Jin rarely leaves his house, and doesn't even attend palace banquets. There's no epidemic in our county, so how could he possibly come to our small county?"
Mi Yao answered.
"Your Majesty is benevolent and loving, and he loves his subjects even more."
"It seems that someone under the prince's command in our county is seriously ill and in urgent need of medical treatment."
Lan Tong kept questioning.
"If he came here to get treated, how could he be injured?"
"Prince Dijin is a doctor himself, why does he need someone else to apply medicine?"
"The county has eight platforms and a county government office, which are more suitable for the prince to recuperate. At the very least, he should stay in the mansion of the minister."
"Why did he choose our house?"
Mi Yao stroked her and sat down together.
"People often try to assassinate King Dijin, so it's normal for him to get hurt."
"Didn't you see that he was having difficulty moving just now? He was injured so badly that he definitely couldn't apply the medicine himself. Or, the injury was on his back, so it was inconvenient for him to do it himself."
"The assassin this time may be related to the Eight Palaces or the County Office. The prince is not in a position to go to a dangerous place, nor does he want to implicate his subjects, so he chose to come to our house."
"These things can be explained, but I understand your doubts."
"I have my doubts, too."
Lan Tong guessed.
"Could it be that he mistakenly thought we had a lot of money in our bank and pretended to be King Di Jin to defraud us of our money?"
Mi Yao analyzed.
"will not."
"I heard with my own ears that the officials of Yin Sitai respectfully addressed him as Your Majesty."
"His status as a noble is beyond doubt, but whether he is an emperor or a prince remains to be considered."
"The only prince of our dynasty still alive is His Royal Highness Prince Li."
Lan Tong's brows were frowning.
"His Royal Highness Prince Li seems to be far away at the border, so it shouldn't be him."
Mi Yao frowned and fell into deep thought.
Lan Tong glanced at it casually and saw something lying quietly on the bench, which was not something from the house.
"Look, girl, what is that?"
Following her direction, Mi Yao walked over, picked up the object, and looked at it carefully.
"Is this the Jade Seal of King Dijin?"
