With the cannon fodder script in hand, it is easy for the king to change his fate

Chapter 1026 The Heir Takes the Empire as Dowry 38
The Prince of Kang had originally intended to speak his mind, but now that he had been crippled and everything was ruined, he had lost his mind and couldn't care less about anything.

But Prince Kang, who was pretending to be unconscious, suddenly realized what was happening and roared, "Xie Pan, shut up! How can you be making a scene here? Princess Consort, why are you making a scene with Xie Pan too?"

“Your Highness,” Princess Consort Kang then realized, “Pan’er was very certain before, and I didn’t think much about it. I really thought there was evidence. Your Highness is still unconscious, and I was anxious, so I rushed to the palace. It’s all my fault.”

"What can I say to you? There's no evidence at all, so why are you acting so impulsively? You actually made a scene in front of His Majesty while I was unconscious. What kind of behavior is this?" Prince Kang endured the pain as he was helped up and apologized to Azhen, saying many kind words, which made him seem even more pitiful.

“I understand Princess Consort Kang’s feelings, so I won’t blame her this time,” Azhen said. “Didn’t some prescriptions come out of the underground palace of Ao Kingdom earlier? I’ll have the imperial physician examine the injuries of Prince Kang and the Crown Prince to see if they can still be treated. As for who dared to commit such a crime in Prince Kang’s residence, we must investigate thoroughly.”

We will conduct a thorough investigation, but we certainly won't find anything.

A flicker of resentment crossed Prince Kang's eyes. Even without evidence, he still believed Xie Kui was the one who did it, but he couldn't reveal his reason. If he did, wouldn't that be an admission of guilt? He couldn't even bring up the fact that Xie Kui had been assassinated first.

For now, let's rely on the ancient prescription discovered in Ao Kingdom. Hopefully, it can cure the father and son. If it can't... he will definitely not let that little bitch Xie Kui go.

And so, the Kang family left the palace, accompanied by several imperial physicians.

While the court was discussing serious matters, many people were secretly speculating about what exactly was going on with the Kang Prince's family.

They knew that the Kang Prince's Mansion and the An Prince's Mansion were not on good terms, and since His Majesty had made it clear that he wanted to choose a woman as his successor, and the Kang Prince's Mansion happened to have no daughters, they didn't even have a chance to compete, which made them even more dissatisfied.

Yesterday, they received news that Xie Kui had been assassinated while hunting. The assassins were highly skilled, but they still didn't fare well and were almost wiped out.

As a result, Prince Kang and his son were deposed in the middle of the night, which is quite interesting when you think about it.

Thinking back to the face of the Prince Kang's heir earlier, how come it really seems like Xie Kui was the one who did it?

Speculation is speculation, but without evidence, no identification is allowed.

It all depends on whether the imperial physician can cure Prince Kang and his son. If he can't, they'll have to accept their fate. If they really struck first and were retaliated against, then they can only say their methods were inferior, and they deserve it!

"Father, is this really how it ends? Your son is not reconciled, not reconciled! Are we just going to let Xie Kui go like this?" Closing the door, Xie Pan, who had been holding back all this time, finally let out his venting. His eyes were bloodshot as he roared. That morning, the doctor diagnosed him with all his meridians destroyed, essentially rendering him a cripple. He had been driven somewhat mad. If it weren't for Prince Kang and his wife saying they would go to the palace to seek justice, he would have truly gone insane by then.

But his trip to the palace yielded no results whatsoever, which Xie Pan found hard to accept.

Prince Kang was also filled with hatred, while Princess Kang looked at Xie Pan with resentment, her expression turning to heartache: "Your Highness, this matter cannot be left like this."

“Of course we won’t let it go like that,” said Prince Kang. “Right now, we should focus on treating the injuries, and plan for the rest later.”

However, after several imperial physicians took turns examining the father and son, they all shook their heads, indicating that even with the ancient remedy discovered in the underground palace of Ao Kingdom, there was no way to restore them. Their meridians were completely destroyed, beyond repair.

The Kang Prince and his son were utterly desperate, and they hated Xie Kui so much that they wanted to tear her to pieces. But at the moment, there was really nothing they could do.

"Am I destined to be a useless person from now on?"

"No, no!" "Ahhh—"

Shepan couldn't accept it and started shouting, acting like a complete madman.

He's only fifteen years old, and he has a long future ahead of him, but he can only lie down for the rest of his life. How can we get him to accept that?

Princess Consort Kang also held Xie Pan in her arms, tears streaming down her face: "Was it because those imperial physicians were deliberately making things difficult for Pan'er, and were actually acting on Xie Zhen's orders, that they didn't treat him properly?"

When she said that, she knew it probably wasn't true.

Before entering the palace, the doctor they consulted had already diagnosed them, and the result was indeed as the imperial physician had said: even if Hua Tuo were to be reborn, it would be difficult to cure them.

"Perhaps there is another way we can try." The voice of Prince Kang attracted the attention of Princess Kang, who was crying, and Xie Pan, who was going crazy. The two stopped and looked at him with hope in their eyes.

"Do you remember Zhou Huo? After the fire at Chunhua Tower, he somehow became mentally impaired. Later, Zhou Hanyi returned to Wenling Mountain and happened to meet a skilled itinerant doctor who brought back medicine that cured Zhou Huo." Prince Kang didn't keep him in suspense and spoke his mind, his eyes filled with anticipation.

"After today's events, many people will probably connect Xie Kui's assassination attempt yesterday with this. The Zhou family has always been at odds with Xie Zhen. Even though the Zhou family seems to be very supportive of Xie Zhen lately, I don't think that's the Zhou family's style. There must be something going on here."

"As long as it doesn't harm the Zhou family's interests, they should be willing to help."

"Then shall I personally go to the Zhou residence to ask for help? Is that feasible?" Princess Consort Kang quickly wiped away her tears, her face full of hope.

Prince Kang said, "They went back to Wenling Mountain to pay respects to their ancestors, but we can't wait for them to return, since that itinerant doctor is definitely not in the capital. Let's arrange for someone to go to Wenling Mountain to ask for help."

If the Zhou family can really help this time, they will be on the same side from now on.

It's important to understand that the Zhou family had no interest in the throne, but that doesn't mean they weren't biased. Perhaps there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future.

"Your Majesty, the people from Prince Kang's residence have indeed secretly left the capital, and judging from their direction, they should be heading towards Wenling Mountain." Yuan Qi immediately reported to Azhen upon receiving the latest news.

“The itinerant doctor that Zhou Hanyi encountered is very skilled. This time, the Prince of Kekang’s mansion sent someone to seek help. If they can really heal the injuries of the father and son, wouldn’t that be too easy for them?” Yuan Qi said again. She was somewhat unwilling when Zhou Huo was able to recover last time.

Azhen said, "Don't worry, that itinerant doctor can't cure Prince Kang and his son."

Her decision not to kill Zhou Huo was actually a test.

The results have already been tested, and it's clear that there's a powerful force behind the Zhou family, so there's no need for the same thing to happen again.

Before Xie Kui took action, she gave the other party a kind of medicine. This was no ordinary thing. Even if a powerful figure from the cultivation world came, he wouldn't be able to solve the problem of Prince Kang and his son.

These two heartless father and son are better off lying in bed with sores for the rest of their lives.

Yuan Qi was relieved.
