Chapter 466 Lin Zian changes his target
"Moreover, what kind of bone-repairing medicine could allow my cousin to heal his leg that had been disabled for eight years in just over a month?"
Facing Ji Fengwu's scrutinizing and suspicious gaze, Ji Yunxie's face sank slightly under the veil, a strange light flashed in his eyes, his thin lips curled slightly, and his tone was soft and harmless.
"Yun Xie did block the arrow for the prince, but the arrow did not hit him vitally. It was just that the prince cared too much about Yun Xie and was a little impulsive. I don't know how people outside spread the news of my death. It was really a misunderstanding."
Ji Fengwu's face darkened slightly, and her smile faltered: "Really?"
Ji Yunxie said in a soft and obedient voice: "As for the bone-healing ointment, it was given by a senior monk. Yunxie also thinks it has miraculous effects."
Then he changed the subject and murmured with a hint of regret: "It's a pity that I have used up the only bottle, and I heard that the monk has passed away. Otherwise, let my prince ask for a few bottles to give to my second cousin. Maybe she can use them in the future."
Ji Fengwu: “…”
Bah, what do you mean she can use it? She’s not disabled.
Ji Fengwu's face was gloomy, but he couldn't lose face. There was a slight gleam of sinisterness in his eyes, but he suppressed his anger and turned back into the gentle Second Prince, putting on a warm smile.
"Oh, that's a pity."
A strange light flashed across Ji Yunxie's eyes, and he pursed his thin lips, looking well-behaved and quiet.
After the meal, Ji Fengwu realized that she couldn't get anything out of Ji Yunxie, and her cousin looked weak, but he spoke very carefully.
No matter what she wanted to find out, he just evaded the question and didn't know the answer to any of her questions. Ji Fengwu was so angry that her face turned black after the whole meal, but due to her superficial behavior, her character did not change.
Entrance of Shiyi Building
Ji Yunxie bowed to Ji Fengwu and spoke in a soft voice.
"Thank you for your hospitality, second cousin. The prince is still waiting for me in the palace. Yun Xie will take his leave now."
Ji Fengwu, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot, laughed while gritting his teeth after being cheated after inviting guests on the road and writing an IOU of tens of thousands of taels.
"Then I will not send you off."
Ji Yunxie bowed slightly: "Yunxie, I'll leave."
Liang An behind him also bowed to Ji Fengwu, waved happily, and asked the female guard to follow with two large food boxes.
Looking at the two large food boxes, Ji Fengwu couldn't help but feel angry and her face became even darker. "Second Prince?"
At this moment, a surprised voice came from the side.
Lin Zi'an didn't expect to see the Second Prince here. Ever since he came back from the last banquet, he has been scolded by his mother. He has been confined to reflect on his mistakes and was ordered to stop dreaming. He felt unwilling but did not dare to refute his mother's words.
Now seeing the Second Prince, looking at his gentle and jade-like temperament, she couldn't help but blush.
In fact, the Second Prince is not bad. Now that the Princess is blind in one eye and half dead, it is only a matter of time before she is deposed.
Now, only His Royal Highness Prince Rui and the Second Prince are evenly matched in the court, and her mother stands on the side of the Second Prince.
If he could marry the Second Prince, even if he couldn't become the principal monarch, he could at least become a concubine monarch. When the Second Prince ascended the throne, he would be the noble monarch.
Prince Beichen is of a foreign surname and is not of royal blood no matter what, let alone inheriting the throne. How can this mere position of prince be compared with your Excellency's?
Thinking of this, Lin Zi'an looked at Ji Fengwu more eagerly and affectionately, and slowly stepped forward to salute.
"Meet the Second Prince~"
"Is the Second Prince also here to dine?"
Ji Fengwu also knew Lin Zi'an, the son of the Minister of Works. Although the Ministry of Works had a relatively low status among the six ministries, it should not be underestimated.
Therefore, Ji Fengwu's attitude towards Lin Zian became a little gentler.
"Young Master Lin."
Lin Zi'an's face turned slightly red, and he changed from his usual arrogance to become pretentious.
"Your Highness, are you going back home too? I want to go back home too, why don't we go together?"
Ji Fengwu's gaze fell on Lin Zian's shy and blushing face, her eyes flickered slightly, the corners of her lips curled up, and she smiled gently and caringly.
"With great pleasure."
"After all, if a beautiful person like Young Master Lin encounters a bad guy along the way, I will be able to take care of him."
Upon hearing Ji Fengwu say this, Lin Zian's face turned even redder.
