Chapter 77: A Dejected Prince with a Cold Outside and Tender Inside (33)
Translator: asassin
Ah Zhao glances at Prince Beiding then at Zhao Yin.
It seems to her that the two men have reached a secret agreement.
But obviously, neither of them is going to tell her anything about it.
At last, Ah Zhao decides to leave with Prince Beiding.
She has left with some worries after Zhao Yin said that he would get out of the cold palace soon.
Seeing the way Ah Zhao acts, Prince Beiding inevitably feels jealous.
He says with envy: “Zhao Zhao, you don’t have to worry about Zhao Yin. His father cares a lot about him. There’s no way that his father is going to let him rot in the cold palace for the rest of his life.”
Ah Zhao says secretly to herself: “It never occurs to you that Zhao Yin would have wasted his life away in the cold palace.”
Only that she won’t say it out loud.
She is here to change that.
Now it seems that everything goes in the right direction.
Prince Beiding has taken Princess Yan out of Palace of Happiness!
This news has spread to every top social circle in the capital of Yan in less than two hours.
Everyone is following what will happen next closely.
What does Prince Beiding mean by doing that?
Or, what does His Majesty mean?
Is he going to abandon Prince Yan completely?
Or will Prince Yan be released soon as well?
It’s a pity that Prince Beiding has closed his door to visitors since he took his daughter back home so nobody could get an answer out of him.
As to His Majesty, nobody dares to ask him about it at all.
The palace and Prince Beiding are both waiting.
They have found out that the witchcraft case was related to Prince Fu.
But Emperor Huizong knows this son well too.
Prince Fu might have the intention but he doesn’t have the wit to frame Prince Yan with this case step by step while not giving himself away. It isn’t something that Prince Fu could have done.
There is someone else behind him.
Or put it this way: there’s another person who’s more dangerous than him behind this case. Covet gains ahead, unaware of danger behind.
It’s too bad that that person is too calm to take a single move.
During this time in the Palace of Happiness, Prince Yan catches a serious disease unexpectedly.
It bears down on Prince Yan menacingly so that Emperor Huizong couldn’t wait any longer. He changes his plan for the moment and sends his men for Prince Yan over night.
Since Prince Yan’s Manor has been closed down, Emperor Huizong has let Prince Yan into his palace directly. He has sent for over half of all the imperial doctors in the imperial hospital.
The Palace of Heaven and Earth is covered by gloomy clouds and sad mists and Ah Zhao who is in Prince Beiding’s Manor is also fairly shocked.
Is Zhao Yin sick?
Is it the same disease which costed him his life in the original story?
With that in mind, Ah Zhao starts to panic.
“Don’t worry about it. The best doctors in the world all serve in the palace.” Seeing his distracted daughter, a stream of sadness from an old father wells up in Prince Beiding’s heart.
Ah, after her marriage, the one that his cute and dear daughter cares the most isn’t her papa any more.
Ah Zhao speaks: “I have to go and check on him.”
Prince Beiding shakes his head: “No. Have you forgotten your relationship with Prince Yan?”
Ah Zhao lifts up her head suddenly: “Papa, are you, Your Majesty and Zhao Yin hiding something from me?”
It’s not like she couldn’t tell that something has happend. It’s only that she was willing to cooperate with them before because nothing happened.
Now that Zhao Yin is sick, she couldn’t be unprepared any longer.
Prince Beiding looks at his daughter who is very serious.
He has been over-indulging her since she was little only hoping that she would be free from all worries and any knowledge of conspiracy or calculation.
But after all she is intelligent so she could observe some went wrong without any teaching.
“The witchcraft case has had a result. Prince Fu was behind it.”
Ah Zhao easily perceives that Prince Beiding hasn’t told her the whole story: “And then?”
“His Majesty and I have found that there was someone else behind it but we have lost the lead and haven’t found that person.”
