With the cannon fodder script in hand, it is easy for the king to change his fate
Chapter 1030 The Heir Takes the Empire as Dowry 42
Through the two maids' back-and-forth conversation, Jiang Bilan and Xie Ping finally understood the general situation.
It turns out that Zhou Huo had also invited three or five friends to the Hundred Flowers Garden to enjoy the flowers, drink wine, and compose poems. Ji Zixing was among them.
Not long before, Zhou Huo suddenly went on a drunken rampage after drinking two glasses of wine.
First, he recklessly pulled on the belt, then grabbed Ji Zixing and started kissing him. Ji Zixing was caught off guard and was bitten several times before he hurriedly pushed him away. But Zhou Huo didn't let him go at all and chased after him, scaring Ji Zixing so much that he was covered in sweat.
This scene was truly shocking, and everyone around stared wide-eyed.
Later, someone tried to stop Zhou Huo, but he started biting everyone he saw, just like a bull in heat. They couldn't stop him at all, and he would even grab and bite people unexpectedly, which was really scary.
In the end, someone suggested simply knocking him unconscious, which ended the farce.
"The person has been sent back to the Zhou residence. I don't know why, but he suddenly went mad," the maid said, wondering if Zhou Huo's mental breakdown from last time hadn't fully healed.
This incident spoiled the enjoyment of many flower viewers, who left the Hundred Flowers Garden after only a short time. Xie Ping and Jiang Bilan were no exception.
Soon, news of Zhou and Huo's behavior at the Hundred Flowers Garden spread like wildfire throughout the capital.
Those who hear it for the first time are greatly shocked.
Back in the house, Ji Zixing looked at the teeth mark on his cheek in the mirror and almost felt nauseous. He had been sitting next to Zhou Huo at the time. The two were cousins, and when Zhou Huo came over, he was caught off guard and was immediately embraced.
He didn't realize what was happening until the other person bit him on the face, but it was too late.
"I wonder what illness Zhou Huo has flared up with this time," Ji Zixing said with a grim expression. The thought of having to check on Zhou Huo's condition later made him feel rather annoyed.
He muttered a couple more curses under his breath, then fell silent after being reminded by the maid to apply the medicine.
He'd better be careful when dealing with Zhou Huo in the future; that guy might be carrying rabies. He stared at the teeth mark on his face; thankfully, it wasn't deep and would heal quickly.
The Zhou family was also shocked by this, especially Zhou Hanyi, the head of the family.
I heard that Zhou Huo did such outrageous things outside, even if it was just a relapse of his illness, it was enough to make him the laughing stock of the capital.
On the surface, he arranged for someone to fetch a doctor, but after returning to the house, he took out the jade token and contacted the person inside to explain everything.
He had a vague idea that Zhou Huo's condition might be due to improper use of the sachet.
Otherwise, his grandson would never have done such a thing in public.
"Impossible." The voice coming from the jade pendant was clearly surprised, quickly rejecting Zhou Hanyi's guess. "A sachet shouldn't have this problem, unless..."
Zhou Hanyi took a deep breath and quickly asked respectfully, "Ancestor, unless what?"
"Unless, unless something helped Jiang Bilan, causing the magic on the sachet to backfire on Zhou Huo," the voice in the jade tablet said, sounding somewhat incredulous.
How could such a person exist?
He's been here for thousands of years and has never encountered anyone in his situation. If he did, he wouldn't allow that person to exist.
In this kind of world, one special case like him is enough; having another one would significantly increase the crisis for him.
What Zhou Hanyi cares about most right now is whether Zhou Huo's situation can be resolved.
"Grandfather, can Huo'er's condition be resolved?" he asked.
There was no sound from the jade tablet for a long time, and Zhou Hanyi didn't dare to ask any more questions, holding his breath and waiting.
“It’s a minor problem.” After a long silence, the voice from the jade tablet sounded again. “But only I can handle it personally; ordinary doctors can’t solve it. However, I don’t plan to resolve this matter at the moment. Please wait a bit; there’s no rush.”
“If we resolve Zhou Huo’s situation immediately, it will be difficult to find the person hiding in the shadows.” Zhou Hanyi understood and asked excitedly, “Is Ancestor planning to make a trip to the capital?”
"Ah."
"Then this junior will immediately arrange for someone to go back and fetch the ancestor."
"No need, the journey by carriage is too slow for me." The voice carried a condescending tone, as if it regarded everything as ants.
Zhou Hanyi didn't feel anything was wrong at all. After all, this was their Zhou family's ancestor, who had lived for thousands of years and was no ordinary person.
Once it was confirmed that Zhou Huo's situation could be resolved, Zhou Hanyi was completely relieved.
Even though the doctor's diagnosis was not optimistic, he appeared distressed on the surface, but inwardly he wasn't too worried. If the old saying could be resolved, then it definitely could be resolved.
“Aside from inviting some doctors and the imperial physician to the palace to diagnose Zhou Huo, there hasn’t been any other activity from the Zhou family,” Yuan Qi said. “It seems that way, but I always feel that Zhou Hanyi, that old fox, isn’t in such a hurry.”
"Zhou Huo, I don't know why he has gone mad like this. Could it be a side effect of being cured of his idiocy?" Yuan Qi guessed. Of course, she didn't know about the powerful figures behind the Zhou family or that the jade pendant that Azhen gave to Jiang Bilan was a special item.
"As long as the Zhou family doesn't obstruct the current policies, that's fine," A-Zhou said.
Now that Zhou Huo has encountered such a predicament, the person behind him must have realized that there is a being in this world who may be like him.
Can you still hold back from coming out?
As long as the other party comes to the capital and finds Jiang Bilan, she will know what kind of person he is.
The other party has been fearless for thousands of years, but she doesn't believe that the other party truly wants to survive in this world.
There are no special powers in this world. Without a source of power, the only thing waiting for the opponent is destruction.
So how could he exist for thousands of years? Was it because he was so powerful that thousands of years of power loss was insignificant to him, or did he have other sources of power?
We'll find out what really happened once the other party comes to the capital.
By then, she will be able to eliminate this person quietly, thus removing a potential threat to this world.
She didn't believe that this person's existence wouldn't affect this world.
Yuanqi was unaware of what Azhen was thinking. Seeing her staring at the memorials and reviewing them, he dared not utter a word.
Inside the Prime Minister's residence, Jiang Shengqin was somewhat surprised to learn of today's events.
There have been quite a few jokes about the Zhou family in the past two years.
Zhou, who has always had an excellent reputation, has unexpectedly made a series of jokes, which he finds quite amusing.
Jiang Shengqin never imagined that Zhou Huo would resort to such methods to harm Jiang Bilan.
He suddenly remembered that Jiang Jingzhuo had almost fallen off his horse a few days ago, and frowned. They still hadn't figured out why the horse had gone crazy.
However, he didn't connect the two things.
What's been frustrating him lately is that his silly son, whenever he has free time, goes to Princess Kui's side. He finds him rather foolish, but he doesn't seem inclined to stop him.
He should stay out of the young people's business.
In the dead of night, a sudden ripple occurred in Zhou Hanyi's room, and a figure appeared out of thin air. (End of Chapter)
