My Loyal and Lovely Husband

Chapter 545: Secrets



The reason why Jin Weiwei was so nervous was because she was worried that he would do harm to her and that he might have any intentions.

The more he looked at Jin Weiwei’s anxious expression, the happier Ji Jingzhi was. However, she was pregnant after all, so Ji Jingzhi was afraid that if she continued to make blind and disorderly conjectures, she would hurt him.

“Although I don’t see much about this uncle, in my impression, he is always honest,” Ji Jingzhi said.

“Then why did he use that kind of method to lure you out and put you under house arrest?” Jin Weiwei’s suspicion did not decrease in the slightest.

“Back then, the Emperor of the Empress Dowager planned to choose one between the two princes to inherit the throne. Therefore, there was a rule that if any of the two princes were to become the eldest son of the Emperor, he would pass the throne to him.” Ji Jingzhi’s expression suddenly became serious. “At that time, Consort De was seven months pregnant.”

“Did something happen afterwards?” Jin Weiwei had a bad feeling when she heard this.

Since the consort was pregnant, the De King must have a better chance of inheriting the throne. However, later on, the enthronement became the emperor, and the De King was driven out of the capital city, exiled outside and further away from the power center of the capital.

“Back then, Consort De suddenly had a miscarriage, and then the emperor had the prince. So, even though there were many people in the dynasty who still supported the king to inherit the throne, after all, the emperor had no words. The emperor passed the throne to the former emperor,” Ji Jingzhi nodded. “But according to my father, the prince of the former emperor died early on the year I was born, so it was the successor in the palace.”

The battle for the throne was never peaceful. Just listening to Ji Jingzhi’s words, Jin Weiwei felt that there were too many invisible reign of terror hidden in it.

“Then, what about the De King. Even if the emperor inherits the throne, how could a prince of the De King be reduced to such a small border?” Jin Weiwei was confused, “What’s more, since the emperor is interested in choosing the heirs among the Demon King and the ancestors, the Demon King is not a mediocre person. How can he be exiled?”

“How can the De King be faint? I heard from my father that in the battle for the throne, the De King was better than the emperor in terms of talent and human heart,” Ji Jingzhi said with a regretful expression, “Although the prince was choosing the emperor, the wise people know that the prince was more interested in passing the throne to the king. Unfortunately, the prince was the ancestor.”

Without Ji Jingzhi, Jin Weiwei understood.

In the past, the De King’s reputation was outside and he was favored. The Imperial Counsellor had chosen the Emperor and placed the Emperor on the Emperor’s eldest grandson. It was just to push the boat along the way. However, it was known that the Emperor had a miscarriage and the Emperor gave birth to the prince.

“There was a year when sea thieves were rampant in the East Sea. There was no martial general at the time in the middle of the dynasty who was willing to go. The emperor issued three imperial decrees, forcing the De king who was idle at the time to the battlefield.” Ji Jingzhi continued, “I didn’t expect that the De king finally repelled the sea thief. He just stayed here and never returned to the capital.”

Listening to Ji Jingzhi’s past, Jin Weiwei had to sigh, ‘Manifestation is messing around.’

The change radically of the De King’s life made people sigh. In Jin Weiwei’s heart, her view of the De King changed, but she still didn’t dare to relax her vigilance.

However, to Jin Weiwei’s surprise, on the night Ji Jingzhi told her about the past of the Demon King, the Demon King suddenly visited the courtyard.

“The person watching has already left,” the moment he entered, the De King say without mincing words said, “You don’t have to hide in this small courtyard.”

Watching?

Jin Weiwei and Ji Jingzhi were stunned when they heard Demon King De’s words.

The two of them were ordered not to step out of the courtyard. They thought that the De King was putting them under house arrest, but in the end, it was to prevent the surveillance from discovering them.

Only then did Jin Weiwei realize that she seemed to have wrongly blamed this little De King.

“Watch?” Ji Jingzhi thought for a moment and immediately understood, “Did the palace send it?”

King De glanced at Ji Jingzhi and didn’t say anything. He just nodded.

Ji Jingzhi’s eyes sank.

Although the De King is at the seaside, the journey is not too close. Those who chased after them may not think of the prince who has not appeared for a long time. Besides, this place was far away from the Imperial City and it would take a lot of time to come and go. The moment they arrived at the De King’s residence, there were people monitoring them and they were sent from the palace.

These people didn’t come to the De King’s residence to spy on them, but to the King.

“For so many years, has the palace been monitoring the Deqing residence?” asked Ji Jingzhi.

King De didn’t say anything and nodded again.

Seeing that the De King acquiesced, Jin Weiwei was also shocked.

He didn’t expect that Demon King De had been living at the seaside for many years, so he couldn’t let the people in the palace rest assured. Even if the little emperor was on guard, it was impossible for him to suddenly think of monitoring the Demon King. There was only one possibility, that is, ever since the ancestor was alive, the Demon King’s residence had been under surveillance by the palace.

“When do you plan to leave?” Seemed as he didn’t want to talk about this topic, King De suddenly asked, “I’ll arrange a carriage for you.”

“If Uncle doesn’t mind,” Ji Jingzhi thought for a moment and suddenly said, “My nephew borrowed your residence to recuperate for a few days.”

Jin Weiwei and Demon King De were stunned by Ji Jingzhi’s words.

Before this, they didn’t know what King De’s purpose was, but they had been thinking about finding an opportunity to leave. However, they didn’t expect Ji Jingzhi to stay after King De spoke.

Although his injury was not fully healed, it was not to the point where he could not rush. Jin Weiwei immediately understood that it must be Demon King De who let Ji Jingzhi know something and wanted to recuperate.

King De glanced at Ji Jingzhi and finally nodded.

“Wang, you stay at the seaside all year round. I wonder if you found someone wearing outlandish costume a few days ago?” Fearing that Demon King De would regret, Jin Weiwei immediately said, “Can you help me find him?”

“Why?” King De frowned and asked.

“He is a very powerful physician. I invited him from a foreign country. We were separated when the merchant ship was in danger,” Jin Weiwei said, “The son of the prince is injured now and there are no other doctors around him. If the prince can help us find them, we can return to the capital safely.”

The implication was that without that person, it would be difficult for them to return to the capital.

Logically speaking, if Ji Jingzhi was worried that he would not be accompanied by a physician, he would just ask Demon King to arrange for him to leave with them. Jin Weiwei was just using this reason to hide Ji Jingzhi’s purpose.

However, how could Demon King De not see such a bad reason? But what made Jin Weiwei beat all was that she asked, “A powerful physician?” Just how high is medical expertise?NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
