When Zatvanliu approached the palace study, the guards stopped him and searched his whole body for any murder weapon before letting him go.
Now that the king’s health was in and out of favour, the guards had become much more vigilant.
“Your Majesty, I come to see you, Zatvanliu!”
“Come in!”
Zatvanliu caught a glimpse of the king as he entered the study, but he didn’t dare to observe much and withdrew his gaze after a quick glance.
After a few days of absence, the king’s body, which was just a bit chipper, seemed to have become weaker.
“Come, my love, sit by my king’s side!”
Zat Wanliu did not know what to do, but since the king had given the word, he had no choice but to do as he was told!
“Your Majesty, you have been with me for some years!”
“Your Majesty, it has been forty-one years and four months!”
“Hahahaha, you do remember well!
The King remembers that when you were a child, you always followed behind the widow, only to cry and wail every time!”
Zatvanliu shook his head with a bitter smile, “I didn’t know anything at that time, I only knew that there was candy to be had by following His Majesty.”
At the mention of these things, there was no nostalgia in Zatvanliu’s heart, but only fidgeting and trepidation afterwards!
Nothing good can come from a country whose lord plays the sentimental card with you.
It was just that he couldn’t help it at the moment!
“You are clever!”
Said Jiayuan I, tilting his head to look out of the window, his gaze both reminiscent and a little sad.
“This journey, Ai Qing you this king a lot, this king can have today you can not be credited!
I think I actually owe you a lot.”
“Now that I’m on my last legs, you can say what you wish for, just think of it as my king making up for it!”
As the words fell, a shiver ran down Zat Wanliu’s spine.
Who was the man in front of him? He was a king and a renowned martial arts master before he was wounded.
When a man like that shows his vulnerable side in front of his subjects, it means he has grand plans.
Anyone can be vulnerable, but not him.
The next moment, Zat Wanliu immediately rose and fell to his knees before the king.
“I am terrified, the Wanxiang Kingdom still needs Your Majesty’s reign for ten thousand years, Your Majesty must not make such jokes!”
Jiayuan I shook his head and sighed heavily.
“Eh, you and I have known each other since we were children, we are both monarchs and subjects and dear friends, you don’t have to be like this!
Get up and talk!”
“Thank you, Your Majesty!”
Zatvanliu did not rise, and the foreboding feeling in his heart had grown stronger.
The more intimate the king was with him, the more he was afraid.
“Speak, what other wishes do you have, and the king will grant them to you!”
Jiayuan I’s tone also became more serious, and that aura seemed to not allow anyone to refuse at all.
At this moment, a voice suddenly appeared in Zat Wanliu’s mind.
“Establish Zat Baikha as the Crown Prince!”
“Establish Zat Baikha as the Crown Prince!”
“Establish Zat Baikha as the Crown Prince!”
….
The voices that kept ringing out kept hitting this Zat Wanliu’s inhibitions.
However, he knew in his heart that if he opened his mouth it would be his head falling to the ground.
The affairs of my royal family are not to be dictated by a va*sal!
Zatvanliu could only clench his teeth and suppress the horrible thoughts in his head.
A long time later a long sigh from Jiayuan I broke the long and awkward silence that had fallen over the scene!
“You’ve spoken to him about Jiayten Yunhai’s mother!”
At these words, Zat Wanliu’s face changed in shock and his pupils instantly spread.
Jiaten Yunhai was Zaten Baiha’s real name!
He had thought he could hide it, but it still hadn’t escaped the king’s eyes.
“I should be D*mned, but His Highness, the Fourth Prince Jaten Yunhai, has already noticed something unusual.
I am afraid that if he goes looking for the truth himself, he will bring about his own death, so I can only tell him the truth!”
Jiayuan I propped one hand on his temple, looking at the childhood playmate in front of him, his face slowly sinking!
