“Don’t jinx it! Everything will be fine, won’t it?”
Fike hushed her hurriedly.
Lan Xi smiled as she held tightly onto his hand.
Truthfully, in her heart, she was suppressing countless complicated emotions, trying to keep them from bursting out.
After walking for a bit, the two finally arrived in front of the palace.
The guard stationed before them was well-dressed, and was equipped with a long-handled axe.
“Who are you? You’d dare to break into the Lieluo Palace? Aren’t you afraid of losing your heads?”
The guard barked.
Lan Xi stepped in front of Fike and said righteously.
“Open your eyes and look clearly. I am the Ninth Princess of the Lieluo Empire!”
As Lan Xi spoke, she procured a letter from the palace.
Seeing the seal of the empire on the letter, the guard imdiately fell to his knees.
“I was blind and ignorant to offend the ninth princess. Please forgive , princess! Please, allow to guide you in!”
Lan Xi nodded and proceeded to enter the palace.
As Fike was about to follow suit, the guard stopped him again.
“Who are you? You actually think you can follow the ninth princess into the palace?”
Fike felt a mixture of anger and amusent as he heard this.
However, before he could speak, Lan Xi intervened angrily.
“You stupid slave!
“Can’t you see that he’s obviously with ?
“He is the prince consort of the Lieluo Empire!”
Hearing Lan Xi’s reply, the guard couldn’t even hold on to his huge axe properly as he fell to the ground once more.
“I deserve to die! I deserve to die!”
The guard slapped himself several tis.
Fike waved his hand, and the guard stopped.
After the farce had ended, Fike and Lan Xi finally managed to enter the palace.
Along the way, Fike asked Lan Xi jokingly.
“Tell , as the Ninth Princess of the Lieluo Empire, why didn’t you have anyone to pick you up?”
Lan Xi sighed in response.
“I’m afraid that my father has long since forgotten about .”
Following the guard’s lead, they were eventually brought to Saunders, the general manager of the palace.
This man imdiately knew to kneel down when he noticed Lan Xi.
“Ninth Princess! You’re finally back!”
Lan Xi quickly helped Saunders up, who had tears in his eyes.
He spoke as he wiped his tears.
“Ninth Princess, I haven’t seen you for so long... You’ve really grown into a big girl now!
“I still rember when you were young. You used to co here to play with because you were lonely. But now, you’re so much older! Ti really flies!”
Saunders glanced at Fike before he continued.
“Ninth Princess, who is this?”
Lan Xi took Fike’s hand without missing a beat.
“This is my husband, Fike!”
Fike reached out his other hand to the man.
“Hello, manager!”
Saunders quickly reached out to shake it.
“Hello, Prince Consort!
“Look at this face, so handso! And this head! Oh my god, it’s almost as tall as the walls outside the palace!”
Seeing that Saunders had made a slip of the tongue, Lan Xi coughed on purpose.
Saunders imdiately understood and quickly ca to a pause.
Then, he picked up where he left off.
“Ninth Princess and Prince Consort, please, follow ! The king has been waiting for you for a long ti!”
Saunders led them through the long, wide corridors of the palace.
They walked through a garden before arriving at a quiet building.
‘This looks like it should be where Ross Colin III lives!’
Fike thought to himself.
Saunders pushed open the closed doors before prostrating himself on the ground.
“Your Majesty, the Ninth Princess and the Prince Consort have arrived!”
A low and weak voice ca from the room.
“Co in!”
After hearing the voice, Saunders took a step back as he signaled for Fike and Lan Xi to go on in.
The door closed after them.
The two slowly made their way through the hallway before coming to the large room.
Countless antiques, weapons, poems and paintings greeted their eyes, adorning the royally furnished room.
The most eye-catching thing, however, was the huge bed peeking through half-covered curtains.
Lying on it was a frail old man.
‘This must be Ross Colin III!’
Fike thought to himself.
The two walked forward. Lan Xi finally laid eyes on her father, who looked extrely ill.
Even if she had held a thousand resentnts against him, they all seed to have vanished at this mont.
Lan Xi knelt by the bed, crying as she held the king’s hand tightly.
“Lan Xi... is it really you?”
Ross Colin III mumbled weakly.
“It’s , father, it’s !”
Lan Xi choked.
“You... still ca to see ... Your disappointing brothers... up until now... Will they ever co to see ?”
Ross Colin III turned his attention to the other person in the room.
“Who... is He?”
Lan Xi’s face was still stricken with tears as she answered.
“He’s my husband, his na is Fike!”
Fike walked up to greet his father-in-law.
Ross Colin III looked back at him as he asked.
“Do you... love Lan Xi?”
“I love her, and I will treat her well for the rest of my life! Please rest assured!”
Fike said firmly.
“Oh! Really... that’s... that’s good... ahem.”
As he spoke, a mouthful of blood spat out from his mouth.
“Father, please rest and stop talking.”
Lan Xi pleaded.
Fike turned to the hidden ssage for advice in his heart.
‘Hidden ssage, do you have a way to cure Ross Collin III?’
[Hidden Information: Yes, his illness was caused by the long-term consumption of dicines containing chronic toxins. We have detected that there are dicinal herbs in the dicine hall of the palace that can be used to refine antidote pills. You can refine them at the dicine Hall!]
Seeing this, Fike opened his mouth to make an offer to the king.
“Your Majesty, I have a way to cure your illness!”
Ross Collin III’s face revealed a look of disbelief at his words.
Lan Xi’s, on the other hand, was one of boundless joy.
Ross Collin III struggled to speak.
“Even the... doctors in my palace... have been unable to save ... You’re just a young boy... How... how could you do it?”
Lan Xi stepped in to vouch for Fike.
“Father, you’ll believe in my husband, right? He might really have a way to save you!”
The man only nodded weakly at his daughter’s words.
“What... What do you need to do?”
Fike smiled confidently.
“I only need so herbs from the dicine hall in the palace. Give a few hours and I’ll definitely be back with a pill that will save your life!”
