Chapter 1176: Necessary to Hold Back
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In his previous life, after he inherited the throne, he had secretly planted someone beside Duan Huai to prevent him from exposing himself. After all, Duan Huai was personally promoted by Emperor Hao, and Duan Huai was also considered Emperor Hao’s trusted aide. Who cared if Emperor Hao had told Duan Huai that he was not of the royal bloodline?
Duan Huai not only did not know that he was not of royal blood, but he also had such a huge weakness that he could leverage on.
Therefore, he summoned Duan Huai to the capital and pretended that someone had secretly told him everything. Not only did he promise Duan Huai that no one would know about this, but he also made Duan Huai prove his loyalty to him. Duan Huai was naturally grateful and extremely loyal that he would not expose his matters to the world.
In order to obtain Duan Huai’s loyalty, he promised to not tell others about this matter. Even if Xue Yan was exceptionally intelligent and incomparable, he would not know about this matter.
Even if Xue Yan was reborn, he would never have thought that he would be here with Duan Huai.
Duan Huai was truly loyal. He was also loyal to Emperor Hao, the Emperor. Even if he had something on him, Duan Huai would never do anything to assassinate or harm the Emperor. Xue Yan was the Emperor’s son. Duan Huai would definitely not send someone to deal with Xue Yan.
This was Duan Huai’s bottom line.
As long as he did not touch this bottom line, Duan Huai would agree to whatever Prince Yi asked for.
The matter of killing Xue Yan could not be rushed. Right now, the most urgent matter was to first nurse his body to a better state.
When Duan Huai returned, he would ask Duan Huai to send someone to get Doctor Shen to nurse his body. Presumably, there would not be any problems once the doctor arrived.
He could not send his men to go. He only had two men of sacrifice. Before he went to look for Duan Huai, he did not bring them with him. He left them outside to prevent Duan Huai from trying to kill them. He needed them to be outside. If anything happened to him, they could drag Duan Huai down and ruin Duan Huai’s reputation.
Although the two masked men had said that they would come to save him if anything happened to him in the future, he had only met them once. It was better not to believe them too much. It was necessary to have his countermeasures.
In the evening, General Duan Huai, who was guarding the North, returned from the military camp.
His stepmother was always bossing around orders in the backyard. As long as she didn’t cause too big of a fuss, he didn’t care. However, because of this, he didn’t come back often.
Prince Yi was in his residence now. To avoid any problems, he would come back from time to time to check up on him.
As soon as he entered the hall, he saw someone come to report. “Great
General, Prince Yi wants to see you, he would like to invite you over.”
Duan Huai was only 29 years old. His facial features were symmetrical and he always stood tall. When he heard this, he could not help but frown.
The people who were waiting for him to reply immediately held their breaths.
After a while, Duan Huai strode to Prince Yi’s courtyard.
When he arrived at Prince Yi’s room, he saw that everyone had left. When he and Prince Yi were alone, he asked, “What’s the matter?”
Prince Yi did not beat around the bush. “You can smell the medicine in my room. I need a doctor.’
“Aren’t there enough doctors around you?” Duan Huai’s frown deepened. The doctors were all assigned to care for him. “These doctors are useless. Doctor Shen from Xinyuan County is the only one who can help me recuperate.”
He had already made it so clear, how could Duan Huai refuse?
