Chapter 169 Where Did I Offend My Father-in-law?
Zhao Guoan's face darkened upon hearing this. After a long silence, he spoke slowly with a hint of disappointment, "To be honest, Miss Wang, there is only one Tianshan Snow Lotus in my entire palace!"
Hearing this, Wang Xinyao was delighted: "Your Majesty, as long as we have the Tianshan Snow Lotus, your illness will be cured. I just happen to have half a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum and the blood of a monster!"
The thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum was what was left over from the treatment of Wu Mingjun, and the monster's blood essence was placed in the space when the monster was killed.
Ever since she learned the forbidden techniques in the space, Wang Xinyao has been keeping an eye on it. As long as it is related to the forbidden techniques, she will keep some in the space. She didn't expect that it would really come in handy?
Zhao Guoan was filled with joy when he heard this: "Then I'll have to trouble Miss Wang to write my curse."
Wang Xinyao replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, rest assured. I will do my best."
"Your Majesty, the person who cast the curse on you must be the one closest to you. I hope to treat you this time without letting anyone except the four of us know about it!" Wang Xinyao said again worriedly!
Zhao Guoan nodded slightly, agreeing with Wang Xinyao's proposal. Afterward, Xiao Xizi brought the Thousand Mountain Snow Lotus, and Wang Xinyao began preparing for the detoxification.
Xiao Xizi stood guard at the door of the imperial study and did not let anyone in.
Wang Xinyao took out half of the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum and the monster's blood essence, and placed them on the table along with the Thousand Mountain Snow Lotus.
She formed seals with her hands, and rays of light overflowed from her hands, enveloping the herbs on the table.
As the light flickered, the three rare items gradually merged together, emitting a strange fragrance.
"Your Majesty, please take it quickly." Wang Xinyao handed the refined pill to Zhao Guoan.
Zhao Guoan took the pill and swallowed it without hesitation.
After a moment, he felt a warm current flowing through his body, and his body, which was originally weak due to the poisonous curse, gradually became full of strength.
Wang Xinyao nervously observed the changes in Zhao Guoan's expression, and she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that his complexion had improved.
Suddenly, there was a loud and noisy sound outside the door, and the sound came one after another.
Just as everyone was surprised, a bright light shone into the room through the crack in the door.
Only then did I realize that the sky had already brightened without me noticing!
At this moment, Xiao Xizi rushed into the house and reported in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, Prince Yu and Grand Chancellor Guo request an audience!"
Upon hearing the news, Wang Xinyao couldn't help but frown slightly. She didn't expect that she would meet this legendary prince just one day after arriving.
A trace of deep worry appeared on her face, and her beautiful eyes were fixed on the door.
Zhao Guoan, who was standing aside, turned to look at Wang Xinyao first, and their eyes conveyed a soothing feeling.
After Wang Xinyao calmed down a bit, Zhao Guoan took a deep breath and then calmly said loudly, "In that case, let them in!"
The noisy sounds outside suddenly quieted down, as if time had frozen for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, a burst of hurried footsteps came from far away.
Then, Zhao Yucheng's excited and anxious voice suddenly rang out: "Royal brother, Royal brother, there's important news from the Miao Kingdom! In ten days, their eldest prince will visit our country!"
Grand Chancellor Guo Jingnan also hurried into the imperial study.
However, as soon as he entered the door, he knelt on his knees without hesitation, kowtowed respectfully and said: "Your humble servant pays homage to the emperor. May our emperor live long and long!"
The standard of his movements and the piousness of his attitude are moving.
Zhao Guoan, who was sitting behind the desk, nodded slightly, a barely perceptible smile on his face, and said softly, "Lord Guo, please stand up quickly!"
At the same time, he glanced at Zhao Yucheng who was still standing there out of the corner of his eye.
His thoughts instantly drifted back to the past. There was a time when Zhao Yucheng no longer bowed to him like other ministers when he saw him.
Oh, yes, it was because he felt that they were from the same mother, so he allowed him to see him without having to perform formalities.
Thinking of this, Zhao Guoan couldn't help but feel a surge of regret in his heart.
Wang Xinyao whispered to Zhao Guoan, "Your Majesty, don't reveal the truth."
Zhao Guoan took a deep breath nervously, and even a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that he had almost exposed his flaw in that instant!
After calming down a little, Zhao Guoan tried hard to make his expression calm again.
Then, with a smile on his face, he said to Zhao Yucheng who had just entered the room, "My royal brother is here. Please take a seat. Lord Guo, you too will take a seat."
When Wang Xinyao saw Zhao Yucheng enter the room, her heart trembled violently.
She subconsciously glanced at Zhao Yucheng who walked in with the corner of her eye.
It would have been fine if she hadn't looked at it, but once she did, she was completely stunned.
The face of this Prince Zhao Yucheng Yu was surprisingly similar to that of the hateful boss who had betrayed her when she was a police officer in modern times!
Whether it is the expression between the eyebrows or the lines of the facial contours, they all seem to be carved from the same mold.
All kinds of emotions surged into his heart like a tide, not only the injustice and hatred suffered by Zhao Haoxuan, but also the humiliation of being betrayed by his boss in the past.
All of them intertwined together, like a raging fire, making the anger in her heart burn more and more fiercely.
She has no way to avenge her past as a police officer in modern times. It seems that God has been kind to her, and the old and new grudges can be settled together. Revenge is no longer just Zhao Haoxue's business, it's her business too!
However, she knew very well that she couldn't act impulsively at this moment. She could only suppress the anger that was about to erupt in her heart, gritted her teeth, frowned, and slowly retreated to the corner of the room.
At this moment, Zhao Yucheng keenly sensed a bone-chilling gaze directed towards him.
He quickly turned his gaze and locked onto Eunuch Xu and Wang Xinyao.
A faint smile appeared on his face and he said, "Eunuch Xu is back?"
Hearing Zhao Yucheng's greeting, Eunuch Xu did not dare to neglect it and quickly bowed and said, "Your servant greets the prince."
Wang Xinyao, who was standing aside, saw Eunuch Xu bowing, so she lowered her head, bent her knees slightly, and followed suit.
Zhao Yucheng saw Wang Xinyao and felt a little confused: "Eunuch, who is this..."
"Your Highness, this is the new eunuch, Xiao Yaozi!" Eunuch Xu replied immediately.
Zhao Yucheng suddenly walked up to Wang Xinyao and said, "Eunuch Xiaoyaozi, right? I looked at you with an unfriendly look just now. Could it be that I have offended you in some way?"
Wang Xinyao was startled and lowered her head even deeper, pretending to be trembling with fear. She kowtowed and said, "I dare not, my slave..."
