Chapter 221 World 5: The Weak Prince Protects the Enemy Country’s Hostage Again (1)
[The blackening value of the mission target has been detected and cleared to zero. Congratulations to the host for completing the mission! ]
[Transferring to the next world...Transfer successful! ]
After a while, the world was spinning.
Bai Lian finally stood still, still feeling a little dizzy.
The sounds in my ears gradually became clearer.
"Second Prince, are you okay?"
The guard behind him saw Bai Lian standing there with an unpleasant look on his face, so he asked worriedly.
Bai Lian raised his head and waved his hand.
"nothing."
[Host, something happened. A big one! The target of the mission is in danger! ]
【where? 】
[In the imperial garden ahead, he is being beaten by the Sixth Princess! ]
Bai Lian's expression changed and he walked quickly towards the Imperial Garden.
As soon as he entered the Imperial Garden, he heard a maid's scolding from the right front, "How dare you, hostage? Not only did you not greet our princess, you even dared to speak rudely to her!"
"Someone, call me!"
Then came the sounds of punching and kicking.
"stop."
Bai Lian appeared in front of everyone.
The palace maids and eunuchs looked at each other, stopped what they were doing, and knelt aside to pay their respects.
"Meet the Second Prince!"
Bai Lian had a cold expression and an outstanding posture. He glanced coldly at the people who were kneeling down.
After all, they are tools in the hands of others.
Bai Lian looked up at the Sixth Princess Gu Qingqing who was sitting in the middle of the venue, "Royal sister, what are you doing? This hostage is a person left in our country by the Wei Kingdom, and he cannot be moved."
Gu Qingqing's eyes were blank for a moment, but he was brought back to his senses by Bai Lian's words.
When her gaze fell on Bai Lian and the others, a hint of shock flashed across her eyes.
But she quickly suppressed the emotions in her eyes.
He stood up and saluted Bai Lian.
"Second brother, this hostage just spoke rudely to me, and I was so angry that I punished him a little."
With just a few words, he easily removed himself.
This is somewhat related to the Sixth Princess in the original owner's memory.
"He was disrespectful to you, so he deserves to be punished." Bai Lian lowered his eyes and looked at the embarrassed man lying on the ground. "However, he doesn't look very well at the moment. If something goes wrong, it will be difficult to report to the emperor."
Wei Mobei looked at the person in front of him who suddenly stood up to speak for him, and his eyes became even more vigilant.
The years of intrigue and deception in the palace have made him no longer trust others easily.
Moreover, in the palace, kindness is the most useless thing. He didn't believe that the second prince who suddenly appeared in front of him had no ulterior motives.
Gu Qing lowered his head slightly to hide the expression in his eyes, "Second brother is right."
Although the Sixth Princess is favored by the current Emperor, this favor will be gone when it comes to negotiations between the two countries.
"I happen to have an imperial physician waiting for me. I will take the hostage back first. My sister, please do not let him get you in trouble. Ahem..."
Bai Lian spoke sincerely and every word he said was for Gu Qingqing's sake.
Everyone in the palace knew that the Second Prince was born when the Queen was young, and had been frail and sickly since childhood. There was always an imperial physician in the palace where he lived to treat him.
Both the emperor and the empress doted on her.
Gu Qingqing's eyes dimmed. Why was the development of this matter so different from that in the previous life?
She pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, thank you, Second Brother."
Bai Lian nodded, turned around and ordered the guards to carry Wei Mobei away.
Gu Qingqing looked at Bai Lian's departing back, his brown eyes full of suspicion.
He had never appeared here in his previous life.
Was it because something unexpected happened during her rebirth, or was it because he... was also reborn?
In her previous life, she humiliated Wei Mobei in every way. Later, Wei Mobei took control of the Wei Kingdom and conquered the Daye Kingdom. She fell into Wei Mobei's hands and was cruelly tortured by him to the point where her life was worse than death.
If she were to start over again in this life, she...would never let him stay!
A fierce look flashed in Gu Qingqing's eyes. He flicked his wide sleeves and turned back to the palace.
Bai Lian returned to his palace.
He ordered the guards to place Wei Mobei in a side hall, and then sent someone to invite the imperial physician over.
Wei Mobei covered his chest with his hands, and his tightly closed lips looked extremely pale.
He looked at Bai Lian who was standing in the house and did not leave, and said, "Second Prince, why did you save me? I am now just an abandoned child of the Wei Kingdom. I am afraid you have chosen the wrong person."
Bai Lian did not answer, but turned around, poured a glass of water on the table and handed it to him.
"Drink of water."
Wei Mobei didn't answer, but just looked at Bai Lian stubbornly.
"Are you afraid that I'll poison you? If I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't use such a despicable method."
Bai Lian said calmly, "Your voice is too hoarse. It makes my head hurt."
What's the reason?
Wei Mobei was speechless for a moment, thinking that what Bai Lian said made sense. After all, they didn't need him anymore.
He reached out and took the cup from Bai Lian's hand and drank it all in one gulp.
The dry throat becomes moist and cool after being washed by the water.
"I believe you are not an ordinary person. If you return to Wei in the future, I hope you can promise me a condition."
Bai Lian snatched the cup from his hand, put it on the table, and spoke with her back to him.
Wei Mobei's eyes dimmed.
"Why do you think I will return to Wei? How can you be so confident that I will agree to your terms?"
"I gave it to myself."
Bai Lian uttered these four words with a calm expression.
System 111: The host has indeed always been very confident...
Wei Mobei was speechless.
Bai Lian thought for a moment and continued, "I can ensure that you are safe and sound in the palace."
"What are your terms?"
The other party actually took out so many chips just to exchange for one of his conditions, which made Wei Mobei alert.
Bai Lian turned back and looked him in the eye and said, "I haven't thought about it yet. I'll tell you later."
Wei Mobei clenched his hands.
Now he is living under someone else's roof and has no right to negotiate.
There is only this one path ahead.
Moreover, no matter how you look at it, he is the biggest beneficiary.
The room was silent for a long time, and finally Wei Mobei spoke, "I promise you, but this condition must be within my ability."
"it is good."
Bai Lian agreed without any hesitation.
His original intention was to save the target and complete the mission.
The rest doesn't matter much.
In order to lower the target's vigilance, Bai Lian said he wanted to exchange it for one of his conditions.
Not long after they finished their conversation, the imperial physician arrived.
The imperial physician asked Wei Mobei to lie on the bed and undressed him.
His back was covered in bruises, as well as many marks from being whipped and some old injuries.
The staggered distribution is somewhat shocking.
His original clothes were stained with blood and turned black. He definitely could not wear them again, otherwise the wound would become infected.
The imperial physician applied medicine to Wei Mobei and wrapped the wound with a cloth.
After dealing with all these, the imperial physician breathed a sigh of relief.
"Second Prince, it has been treated. From now on, just change the dressing every day and be careful not to let the wound get wet. It will be fully recovered within half a month."
"Well, thank you, doctor."
Bai Lian thanked him gently and asked the guards to see the imperial physician off.
When he turned around, Wei Mobei had already put on his clothes and was sitting by the bed with a normal expression.
Bai Lian smiled and said, "Have a good rest. I'll be next door."
After saying this, he turned and left without any reluctance.
Wei Mobei's tense body didn't relax until he was sure that there was no sound outside.
For some reason, when he was changing the dressing just now, I felt that Bai Lian's eyes were always on me.
I suddenly felt nervous.
