Chapter 568

“It’s true that you’re an animal, Zuo Bo!” Xu Yangyi complemented, giving him a joking look to Zuo Bo.

The corners of Zuo Bo’s mouth twitched; he didn’t want to be lectured by a brat like Xu Yangyi.

“Well, it’s fine.” He Jingyan also looked like he had nothing to say, so he worried about nothing.

Only An Yan was concerned about what to do afterwards. He hesitated to ask He Jingyan, but he was afraid to break the relaxing atmosphere, so he didn’t say anything. Instead, he raised his own gun and leaned behind the ward door to listen to the commotion outside.

‘So strange. How come I can’t hear the loudspeaker anymore? There is no more crowd noise either.’

“What’s wrong?”

Turning back to see An Yan frowning, Yan Chengyu asked worriedly.

An Yan didn’t ignore him, which was rare, “I don’t know. There’s no sound outside all of a sudden.”

“It seems like I don’t really hear anything else as well.” Following over to listen, Yan Chengyu loaded his gun.

“I guess the people Gong Cheng arranged have arrived!” The director sent a sigh of relief. But when he looked into Xu Yangyi’s eyes, he suddenly knelt down on one knee and said with great respect, “I’m sorry Your Highness! It was me who was late in saving the day! I deserve to die!”

Xu Yangyi was dumbfounded on the spot, while He Jing Yan’s eyes were wide. He did not want Xu Yangyi to know his identity.

“Honey, you must be tired! Let me massage your shoulders.” He Jingyan directly turned Xu Yangyi’s body to his side so that his back was to the director. He gave the director a warning eye at the end, telling him to keep his mouth shut.

The director didn’t know what was going on, but he knew He Jingyan’s expression was a warning, so he hurriedly got up as well.

Both An Yan and Yan Chengyu had heard what the director had just said and they were also looking at the director dumbfounded.

‘Your Highness? Who was he speaking to?’

Zuo Bo had learned of Xu Yangyi’s identity from Long Chen, so he wasn’t surprised.

“Did he just talk to me?” Xu Yangyi reacted and curiously asked He Jingyan.

“How could that be? It must have been a mistake!” He Jingyan snorted, breaking into a cold sweat for the first time.

“But he just mentioned Gong Cheng!” Xu Yangyi wouldn’t relent, but he couldn’t figure out why the director would call him His Highness, so he assumed that it was just a mistake, just like what He Jingyan had said.

Xu Yangyi and the others were not the only ones confused; the director himself was also confused.

‘What’s the situation? Didn’t Mr. Gong Cheng say that He Jingyan’s wife was His Highness? Did I mishear it? But that’s impossible! I have just confirmed that his wife’s pupil was indeed in glaze colour, the symbol of Country T’s royal family!’

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside.

The group in the ward immediately went into readiness, their eyes cold down.

“Colonel He, the Second Prince is here to see you. Please come with me.”

What rang out from outside was Larry’s voice.

The director immediately shook his head at He Jingyan, “You can’t go. He’s one of the Second Prince’s men, and he’s in opposition to Mr. Gong Cheng.”

“The Second Prince? Ke Moer?” He Jingyan asked with a raised eyebrow.

“Yes, the Second Prince Ke Moer! He is rarely seen in public, but it is rumoured among us courtiers that he is a man of great sophistication. It is best not to get involved with him in any way.” The director whispered back, not wanting Larry to know that he knew He Jingyan.

‘Sure enough, it’s him. Gong Cheng had also said that he was ominously powerful, perhaps even more dangerous than the First Prince Ke Jie.

‘But you can’t get a tiger’s cub without going deeper into a tiger’s den, right?’ He Jingyan smiled with a touch of amusement.

“I heard that he and the First Prince, Ke Jie, do not have a good relationship, right?”

“Right. When these two meet, they always get into a quarrel.”

“So that’s how it is! Maybe he’s on our side, right?” Again, the smile on He Jingyan’s face was thick.

The director was frozen. ‘He’s on your side? What do you mean?’
