Chapter 269



Kang Huijuan nodded his head while Gao Bing had already gone inside. Should he admit his mistake? However, there was a lack of evidence. If he admitted the crime he committed, then not only would he fall in the eyes of the King, but also the ministers.

After contemplating over his thoughts, he walked in and he saw the suspicious gazes of ministers at him. It made him feel awkward and his heart was thundering against his chest. He greeted the King and stood with his head low.

“You took time to come inside,” Qiu Zedong said in a stern tone.

“Forgive me, Your Majesty,” Kang Huijuan said.

Kang Xi looked at his son and wondered what to do to save him. Because they were in the imperial court, there was no way he could even stand for his son.

“Why is the Prime Minister’s son here?” One of the ministers asked, “Is His Majesty going to bestow a court position on the Prime Minister’s son?” He was curious to know.

That question filled Kang Xi with guilt for the crime his son had committed. If it came in front of everyone, then not only would Kang Huijuan’s image be tarnished but also the entire Kang family would be humiliated. He had a daughter as well, who was still unmarried. More importantly, the minister might get together to appeal to the King to throw him out of the Prime Minister’s position.

Qiu Zedong opened his mouth to speak when his eyes fell on Kang Xi. He had held his chest firmly and his entire face had tightened.

.....

“Prime Minister Kang Xi, are you alright?” Qiu Zedong asked as he was confused seeing the strange expressions on Kang Xi’s face.

Everyone looked in his direction when Kang Xi fell to the floor.

“Father!” Kang Huijuan rushed to his father and quickly held him up on his lap. He found his father unconscious and continued to call him out.

The King and the Crown Prince also came down to check on what happened to Kang Xi out of the blue. The ministers had gathered around both father and son.

Hei Chengxi got on his knees as he put the sword down on the floor. He checked Kang Xi’s pulse.

“Is he alright?” Qiu Zedong asked.

“It is tough to say. The Prime Minister should be taken to the infirmary, Your Majesty,” Hei Chengxi opined.

“Sure.” Qiu Zedong allowed it. Kang Huijuan quickly carried his father on his back and rushed out with Qiu Mu, who showed him the way to the infirmary in the palace.

“The session is over today since the Prime Minister suddenly got sick,” Qiu Zedong told everyone and walked ahead to leave the court. Eunuch Gao Bing carried the stack of the sheets and left after the King.

The ministers also left the court after bowing to the princes.

“Did the Prime Minister perform an act of being sick?” Mingquan raised a suspicion and gazed at Xiaoming.

“Why would the Prime Minister act?” Tianjie lifted his left eyebrow. “I saw his jaw clench and he placed his hand on the left side of his chest. It seemed like it was a heart attack,” he proclaimed.

“Let’s see what Physician Peng will say. Kang Huijuan will not be spared if he did lie about Lóng Wei and hid the truth,” Xiaoming said.

~~~~~~

Lóng Wei didn’t stop Li Hua from practicing since she wanted to be stronger. It was necessary for her to know warfare for not only his safety but also hers. Peng Yuxian had told her to give Li Hua enough rest, but she had refused to take the physician’s advice.

“Li Hua, you have improved a lot,” Lóng Wei praised her.

“Really?” Li Hua immediately turned to him. He saw her eyes gleaming with happiness. His words were indeed important to her. He nodded his head.

“Yes. You will soon become an expert archer,” Lóng Wei encouraged her.

“That will be great. I will challenge His Highness then,” Li Hua said.

“Why then, not now?” Lóng Wei asked as he stepped up to her.

“Because I know that I will lose. Then, His Highness may ask me to fulfil his wish, and I will keep doing that,” Li Hua stated.

“My wishes will also delight you,” Lóng Wei said, as his lips curled up into a smirk.

Li Hua turned away to resume her practice and asked him how his wishes would delight her.

“If I will tell now, then there is no fun,” Lóng Wei said and brought a bow for himself. He picked up an arrow and shot it. Li Hua heard the sound it made before hitting the target in mere seconds.

His shot was powerful. If hit a human, then he would die instantly.

“Shoot the arrow in a way that you don’t need to shoot the person twice. Kill him in a single shot,” Lóng Wei affirmed, and he shot another arrow. Li Hua noticed that his way of holding the tail of the arrow was different from hers.

She copied his move and tilted the arrow slightly at an angle. Her hand wavered after intense practicing for an hour, so it was difficult for her to keep it at a fixed place in the air.

Lóng Wei put his bow down over the table and went behind her. He caught her hand and guided her to shoot. The shot was more powerful than any of Li Hua’s shots. She even heard the sound as the arrow passed through the air.

She lowered her arm when Lóng Wei hugged her from behind. “It is enough for today,” He nuzzled her hair.

“Your Highness, how do you use a sword? Could you please teach me that? I asked my Elder Brother to practice with me, but he would leave the palace by the evening,” she muttered.

“I will teach you from tomorrow onwards, “Currently,” he lifted her in his arms, “let’s go in.”
