Chapter 1273: Chapter 1273: Wherever You Go, I Will Follow

Prince Min sat cross-legged, holding a wine pot and poured wine into the White Jade Cup, sipping gently, and occasionally pinching a few pine nuts to chew, looking at ease and carefree.

But inside, he was extremely anxious.

This poison screen, it wasn’t really as he claimed to enhance health but rather to harm. Placed right in front of him, every breath inhaled the elusive toxic air.

Yes, Prince Min didn’t know the harmful aura emitted by this screen was radiation, so he could only call it toxic air.

Emperor Chu, that damned emperor, really discovered the harm of this screen and delivered such an unexpected blow.

What to do?

Prince Min held a small bun in his hand and tore at it, his fingertips trembling slightly, revealing a piece of white paper inside the bun. He chewed on the bun while drinking the wine before lying on the bed, and in the dark spit out the small note from his mouth, glanced at it under the light, then shoved it back into his mouth, chewed it to pulp, and swallowed.

The old fellow’s life was truly remarkable, having narrowly avoided a fatal blow, yet suffering serious injuries. That so-called Wu Kang was useless, wasted on leaking such a message, oh how great it would be if he had been stabbed to death with it.

With this, if the old fellow died, those people wouldn’t blame him.

But with such a resilient life, at such an age, having sustained such injuries, especially in deep winter, recovery would be difficult.

Prince Min felt a twisted pleasure rising in his heart.

Even if he wanted to abandon him and seek a new master, that depended on whether he agreed or not. If worse comes to worst, breaking ties apart, he might as well bide his time until the old fellow dies.

Prince Min amused himself for a moment with eyes closed, then opened his eyes, thinking of Emperor Chu’s words, no wonder he pursued the investigation so intensely this month, did he already discover the old fellow wasn’t dead?

If he found the old fellow, would the man betray him?

Prince Min hesitated for a moment, his brow furrowed, he couldn’t stay here long, especially with such an item behind him.

He lowered his eyes, his gaze falling on his Jade Ring, his brows relaxed once again, and he closed his eyes to sleep.

...

Emperor Chu stood in the shadows, watching Prince Min calmly sit in the prison, eating, drinking, and sleeping, as if completely unaffected by that screen, and couldn’t help but snort coldly, leading his people away.

"Your approach was really quite imaginative."

Out of the Heavenly Prison, Song Zhiyuan couldn’t help but speak.

Emperor Chu paused his steps, looked at him with raised eyebrows, and said, "Isn’t it good? I think it’s quite good. He keeps claiming ignorance, a lack of awareness of the screen being harmful, even calling it health-enhancing, it’s truly disgusting."

He glanced back toward the direction of the Heavenly Prison, saying, "Since he says it enhances health, then let him fully enjoy and feel the wonders brought by the screen. Yunzhi, this is called..."

Song Zhiyuan keenly followed up: "Using one’s own method to counter him?"

Emperor Chu’s eyebrows curved, he patted his shoulder, "Yunzhi is indeed my confidant."

"Being a confidant, I thought I was a true companion."

Emperor Chu laughed loudly, looking at the distant brilliant fireworks, hands behind his back, saying, "I wonder when can we truly purge these lurking threats and have peace throughout the realm."

Song Zhiyuan fell one step behind him, watching the fireworks alongside him, saying, "Don’t worry, this flourishing age will ultimately be as you wish."

Emperor Chu tilted his head to look at him: "No matter what, Yunzhi you willing to follow?"

Song Zhiyuan solemnly bowed to him: "Where you go, I shall follow; wherever you lead, I shall tread."
