Starting with a cub, the superpower boss becomes the richest man by lying flat

Chapter 168 Royal Affairs: Whoever Gets Involved Suffers the consequences.
The injuries on Gao Yong and the others were all superficial, without any serious bone damage. Cui Shi cleaned their wounds, applied medicine, and bandaged them up, and they were fine. After everything was done, they sat to the side and pondered.

Fu Jing's injuries should have been more severe than these people's, but his pulse was similar to theirs. He had just lost more blood, but he would be completely fine after a period of rest. He wouldn't even have any hidden injuries left. He was in much better condition than Gao Yong and the others. Why was that?

As the old man pondered, he subconsciously glanced at the carriage. Just as he caught a glimpse of Lin Xin sitting not far away, a thought suddenly struck him: Had this girl gotten him something strange again?

That doesn't make sense! He was very careful when he took Fu Jing's pulse; he didn't notice that Fu Jing had used any medicine!
Cui Shi tried to hold back for a while but couldn't resist. He walked over to Lin Xin and plopped down next to her, glancing at her sideways.

"What are you going to do?" Lin Xin had exhausted her water-based abilities and most of her wood-based abilities. She had been killing people purely by physical strength, and she was too tired to talk to anyone anymore.

“Hehe,” Cui Shixian chuckled lewdly, then lowered his voice and asked her, “What happened to Fu Jing’s injury? What did you use on him? In my opinion, while the injury in that location might not be fatal, it’s definitely not possible for him to be so energetic. Tell me!”

Lin Xin looked at him strangely, "Old man, which of us is the doctor?"

Cui Shi glared at him. "Don't try to fool me. If I've been practicing medicine for so many years and I can't even tell the severity of an injury, then I've lived in vain!"

Lin Xin shrugged, determined not to admit it, and tilted her head, saying very sincerely, "Couldn't it be because your medicine has amazing effects?"

Cui Shi's mustache was sticking up, but he knew Lin Xin's temper. There was no point in asking her about things she didn't want to talk about, so he turned his head away angrily and refused to look at her.

Lin Xin smiled, closed her eyes, and continued to use meditation to restore her supernatural abilities.

"How are you feeling?" Everyone else was exhausted, but Mo Ziyuan, who was forced to take care of the wounded, checked on everyone's condition one by one. He returned to the carriage and planned to go check on Fu Jing again. If there was nothing else, he wanted to spend time with Lin Xin. So when he entered the carriage and saw Fu Jing with his eyes open, thinking about something, he asked him a question.

Fu Jing turned his head to look at him: "It's all over now."

"That's good. You get some rest. I'll be going now." Mo Ziyuan touched his forehead and, finding no fever, prepared to leave.

"Ziyuan, wait a moment."

Mo Ziyuan turned around, looked at him calmly, and waited patiently for him to speak without saying a word.

"Um, what you said before was true?"

"I've already said a lot, which sentence are you asking about?"

"It's...it's about that 'one man for life, one woman' line. Are you really planning to only have Miss Lin as your woman for the rest of your life?" Before Mo Ziyuan could answer, he continued, "But you will inherit a title in the future. Aren't you afraid people will say that Miss Lin has a reputation for being jealous? That wouldn't do you any good!"

“Jealous, huh,” Mo Ziyuan laughed with great disdain. “That’s just an excuse men make for their infidelity. Men can’t control themselves, but they refuse to admit that they are lustful, so they leave behind the custom of having multiple wives and concubines. If a wife is unwilling, she is called jealous. But they don’t know that only a woman who cares about you will not want to share a man with other women. Most of the magnanimous women are either heartbroken or have never cared about you at all.”

After Mo Ziyuan finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something, his expression turned serious as he looked at Fu Jing and asked, "What do you mean by all this?" Fu Jing's expression became unnatural for a moment, but he quickly concealed it, shaking his head and saying, "Your idea is somewhat shocking. I was just asking out of curiosity. Don't worry, even if you were to give up your life for me, you would never marry my sister. How could I dare to have such thoughts again!"

Mo Ziyuan nodded, "That's good. Is there anything else?"

Fu Jing choked for a moment, then shook his head to indicate that there was nothing more. Mo Ziyuan turned around and got off the carriage without hesitation. Through the gap in the curtain, Fu Jing saw him lean over to Lin Xin and say a few words, then sit down next to her, gently put his arm around her shoulder, and let her lean into his arms.

Fu Jing didn't want to look anymore, so he turned his head and closed his eyes. It seemed that his sister really had no hope at all!

It turns out that Mo Ziyuan had no one in his heart. He thought he was just slow to realize it, and that once he did, his sister would have a chance to enter his heart. But now his heart is filled with a woman named Lin Xin, and there is no room for anyone else!
"Sigh! I should think about how to appease my sister after we return to the capital. Given that girl's stubbornness, she'll probably cause trouble for Miss Lin when she finds out. I need to tell Miss Lin and Ziyuan in advance so they can be lenient with that girl!" Fu Jing thought with a headache.

"Can the Third Prince confirm that it is him this time?" Lin Xin asked.

“I think it should be him, but just in case, we still need to bring his body back to the capital and hand it over to His Majesty to verify his identity. After that, it’s beyond our control,” Mo Ziyuan replied, playing with the end of her braid.

"Just ignore it. Anyone who gets involved in royal affairs will suffer. Anyway, the old emperor is gone. From now on, just be a loyal subject. Don't accept anyone's advances, and don't worry about saving face. If you become popular among the court officials, the emperor won't like you. Both official and unofficial histories say that those who get power and participate in factional struggles will not have a good ending, just like that Grand Tutor Feng." Lin Xin whispered in his ear.

"Don't worry, I understand. After we get married, I won't go to any invitations from anyone after I'm off work. I'll just come home and stay with you, okay?"

"Pah, shameless! Who said I wanted to marry you?" Lin Xin, her ears burning red, pushed Mo Ziyuan's face away as he leaned in.

Looking at Lin Xin like this, and thinking about what she had just said, Mo Ziyuan felt his heart swell with warmth. This feeling was extremely unfamiliar, but it made him very happy, and he hugged the person in his arms even tighter.

To avoid any unforeseen complications, everyone rested briefly before setting off immediately.

They encountered no further assassination attempts and reached the city gate safely.

"Let's go straight to the palace!" Mo Ziyuan made this decision after a brief moment of thought.

The group arrived at the palace gate, travel-worn. Eunuch An was already waiting there. He greeted them with a smile and led them directly to the Imperial Study. After letting them in, he closed the door and stood guard at the entrance.

"He's back." Although the coronation ceremony hasn't been held yet, the new emperor already exudes the aura of an emperor.

"Your Majesty, we have successfully completed our mission!" Mo Ziyuan and his entourage knelt down, and Lin Xin, along with Lin Nan and Lin Tao, had no choice but to kneel as well.

"Get up quickly. There are no outsiders here. You don't need to be so polite." Chu Qingye stood up and stepped forward to help them up one by one. Lin Xin, who was next to Mo Ziyuan, also stood up.
