Chapter 101: Young and Ignorant
Over the next few days, Himma's condition deteriorated, and as her body temperature continued to rise, her sanity began to become confused.
Immediately after leaving the eldest princess's mansion, Gibran returned to Colin's mansion, and he 'truthfully' reported to Colin that the eldest princess had fallen ill.
Hearing that his eldest sister suddenly fell ill, Colin's first reaction was whether he should continue the task given to him by his father and grandmother!
As long as this eldest sister is here, no matter how much trouble Colin causes, Zuihou will have someone to step up and help him finish it.
In fact, Colin is not an absolute fool, he knows very well what it means to him if he executes his father's jihua!
Therefore, Colin didn't actually want to do this jihua by himself, his inner idea was to hand it over to Hima and let Hima help him solve it! In this way, if the thing succeeded, he was the only beneficiary, and if something went wrong, he could also put all the blame on Himma alone! In fact, he had always done this.
But this time it didn't work, it's not that Hima didn't help him, but that Hima was sick!
Looking at this man who was completely unresponsible, Gibran's heart was full of contempt. He didn't convince Colin too much, he just gave Colin two choices: either go it alone, or give up the throne of the Monlin Empire!
Perhaps Gibran's choice was too easy, but Colin quickly made his choice, and he finally mustered up the courage!
As soon as Gibran's purpose was accomplished, he got up and took his leave, he really didn't want to let himself stay with Colin, the disgusting guy he was in!
After Gibran left, Colin's mind moved again, and he personally rushed to the eldest princess's mansion to visit Jima's condition. The temperature on Jima's forehead was enough to boil the eggs, and she couldn't even tell if it was Colin standing next to her bed or the monkey who had been fiery all the time, and Colin was completely out of options this time!
Colin asked a room full of doctors, but none of them could give him satisfactory answers, and he wanted to cut off the heads of all the doctors in the room at the moment.
But Colin knew very well that he did not have such a right, these people were from the palace, and they would even be treated like VIPs from his father, so he could only vent his anger on the door of Himma's room.
Before stepping out of the room, Colin glanced back at Hima on the hospital bed again, and at this moment his eyes were full of resentment, and he was even viciously cursing Hima to never wake up! At this moment he forgot that it was Himma who had borne all the infamy for him for so many years, and he forgot that whenever he was wronged, it was Himma who was by his side to comfort him!
Colin didn't expect that Jima on the bed completely grabbed the vicious look in his eyes when he left, and Jima was completely hurt by this look!
Regardless of her mother's claims, Hima did treat Colin as if he were her own brother. But she never thought that all she did was in exchange for such a look from the other party!
Originally, Jima was still guilty of pretending to be sick and deceiving Colin, and was even preparing to clean up the aftermath of Colin's actions. But when she saw this look, she was completely relieved, and she knew very well that she would never be able to treat Colin as a relative from now on!
Colin was obviously not giving up, and after leaving Jima's room, he immediately found the chief guard of the eldest princess's mansion. To his surprise, the head guard of the Eldest Princess's Mansion was actually replaced, replaced by an old man in his fifties.
"Are you the head of the guard in my sister's house?" Colin said disdainfully as he looked at the man.
"Yes!" replied the old man, apparently not too much of Colin.
"You gather all the high-ranking martial artists in the mansion, I will take them away!" Colin didn't notice the old man's tone, he gave the order directly to the other party.
"Please show Her Royal Highness the eldest princess's warrant!"
"You don't know, my eldest sister is unconscious now! I can't get her to give you a warrant! You send someone to me first, and when my eldest sister wakes up, she will naturally give it to you!"
"I'm sorry, without the warrant of Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, no one in the Eldest Princess's Mansion can leave with you!"
"Do you know who I am?"
"You are the third prince Colin!"
"Then you still dare not listen to my orders?!"
"I'm only listening to Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess!Others, I'm sorry!" The old man didn't seem to bother to pay any more attention to Colin, and turned around to leave.
"You old immortal, I think you're tired of being alive!, take him down for me!" Colin ordered the guards behind him.
It was at this moment that several representatives of the Colby caravan also arrived. Colby heard the news of the eldest princess's illness, and he specially brought several people to visit the eldest princess's illness, and they happened to see this scene.
"There's a lot of fun!" Camila put on a look of being ready to see the fun.
"Who is this old man, how dare he treat Colin like this, and I think these guards in the Eldest Princess's Mansion seem to respect him very much?" Li Zijun looked at the expressions of the people around him and asked curiously.
"This person is not only respected in the Eldest Princess's Mansion, he will be respected in Khor Fakan, and even in the entire Monlin Empire. Because Jeffrey is Thomas's great disciple, and he is also Thomas's only Sword Saint disciple! Do you think such a person is not worthy of respect?"
As he spoke, several of Colin's men fell to the ground. Not only did these people not get up again, they even had a hard time moaning, and their jaws were knocked off!
"Who is Your Excellency?" asked Colin as he looked at the old man and stepped back.
"Jeffrey Beckett!"
"Jeffrey Beckett?!" Colin had apparently heard the name too, and a look of horror appeared on his face.
"Can you leave with your men now?" Jeffrey gestured to the few men who were still lying on the ground.
At this moment, a subordinate of the eldest princess's mansion walked into the courtyard with the eldest prince Tiffany, and when he saw this scene, he immediately walked up.
"Mr. Jeffrey, my third brother is young and ignorant, please don't be surprised!" said Tiffany as she bowed to Jeffrey.
Jeffrey didn't say much when he saw the eldest prince, and after returning the salute, he left the courtyard.
"Goodbye to Mr. for a few days, I don't know if Mr. has forgotten me?" Tiffany ignored Colin at all, and walked directly towards Li Zijun.
"No wonder you rejected me, it turns out that you have already found a good master!" Colin completely misunderstood the relationship between Li Zijun and Tiffany, he also thought that Li Zijun rejected him a few days ago because of Tiffany, he snorted angrily, and then turned around and left.
"Your Highness, what should we do?" Colin's side reminded him that he still had a few wounded people lying on the ground.
"What's the use of me taking these pieces of waste with me!" Colin coldly dropped the sentence and left directly with his men.
As soon as Colin left, several members of the Colby caravan stepped forward to salute Tiffany.
"Sir, do you remember this king?" Tiffany said to Li Zijun with a smile. The tone is different, the questions are different! Words seem to have the same meaning on the surface, but they can give people a lot of reverie. The eldest prince succeeded in dividing the relationship between Colin and Li Zijun with only one sentence, which is certainly related to Colin's narrow-mindedness, but it cannot be ruled out that the eldest prince is not a good person! Li Zijun immediately gave such a judgment in his heart.
"Your Highness, you can make me miserable!"
"I don't want to be my third brother's staff like this, I don't think I've done him a big favor instead of harming him, right?"
"Your Highness, do you think I will be able to leave Khorfekan alive?"
"If Mr. doesn't dislike it, I also want Mr. to be my staff, I don't know what Mr. wants?"
"Your Highness has loved, let's go first to see the situation of the eldest princess, right?" Li Zijun politely declined Tiffany's invitation.
The eldest prince should have been prepared for Li Zijun's words, he was not depressed, and walked into Jima's room with a smile.
Camilla was the only one in the Calby caravan who was allowed to enter the house, and she walked in after Tiffany.
Not long after, the eldest prince and Camilla both walked out of it with a sad face.
"Teacher Camilla, how is Her Royal Highness the eldest princess now?" Seeing Camilla walk out, Colby immediately greeted him and asked with concern.
Regardless of Her Royal Highness's reputation in the outside world, everyone in the Calby caravan liked her very much and thanked her for taking care of the caravan.
This is the commonality from the bottom of society, while they continue to hate the upper class, they are also the most likely to feel the care and attention of the upper class of society, and the most easily moved by it! It is for this reason that almost everyone in the Calby caravan is very grateful for the favor of the eldest princess, and they sincerely hope that the eldest princess can get better as soon as possible.
These people in the Calby caravan were probably the simplest of the people in the crowd who visited the eldest princess!
Although the eldest princess's high fever still did not go away, her condition had stabilized under the treatment of the imperial doctors. Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess will definitely survive this hurdle! I believe that it won't take too long for Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess to recover as before!"
"Let's all go back, we need to use this time to hurry up the rehearsal, so that we can give Her Royal Highness the eldest princess the perfect performance after she recovers!" Camilla said with a pretended relaxed smile.
Looking at the expression on the eldest prince's face, the rest of Calby's caravan knew very well that things were not as simple as Camilla said, and they were reluctant to leave this place for a long time.
"Master Camilla is right, Jima will get better soon!Everyone wants to go back first!" the eldest prince also helped to persuade him.
Hearing the eldest prince say this, everyone stopped insisting, and they all returned to the caravan under the leadership of Colby.
Seeing that everyone was really in no mood to rehearse, Camila gave the order to take a day off.
"Your expression has betrayed you, what's going on with Himema's illness?" Li Zijun asked with a smile after following Camilla back to her room.
"You seem to have guessed something?"
"It's such a coincidence! It's hard not to think about me, if I'm right, Jima must be faking illness this time!"
"So many doctors say that Jima has a high fever that doesn't go away, do you think they're all lying?"
"It's not impossible if Heller had ordered it! And don't tell me you don't know a way to raise your temperature!"
"It seems that you can live for so long, and it is not without reason! You guessed it, Hima is faking illness, but she is pretending to be sick in a very comfortable way, can you guess what?"
"Auntie, do you really think I'm a god? Maybe I will be in the future, but I'm not yet! How can I possibly know how Jima is pretending to be sick?"
"Have you ever heard of the Snowy Ice Snake?"
"Snowy Ice Snake, is there really such a thing?" Some personal notes of the Li family had mentioned this creature, but in Li Zijun's heart, he felt that these records came from some legends, because none of the people who recorded this incident had seen this magical creature with their own eyes.
"Of course, although the number of snow ice dragonflies is extremely rare, it does exist! Moreover, the conditions in the area where they live are extremely harsh, and ordinary people can't even breathe the simplest breath in that place, and only masters above the Holy Rank can climb it. ”
"Snowy Ice Dragons are very good at camouflage, and even Saint-Rank masters are very difficult to spot them. Moreover, they are extremely fast on the ice and snow, and it is difficult for the Holy Rank to catch them!" Camila began to introduce the details of the Snow Ice Snake to Li Zijun.
At the junction of the three empires of Dongyu, Monlin and Aojin, there is a high mountain that reaches into the sky - the most famous Oulu snow in the Youlan Continent. This high mountain has four distinct seasons, and the snow and ice on the top of the mountain do not melt for thousands of years. Especially at the top of the snow, where it was so cold and frozen that even masters above the Holy Rank could barely stay for a moment, otherwise it would turn into a decorative ice sculpture. And that's where the snowy ice toads are home!
No one knows what food they live on, but they do exist on icebergs that are inaccessible to people!
Snowy Ice Snakes are full of medicinal herbs, but they have only one and only one purpose - eternal youth!
It is also this characteristic of snowy ice dragons that they have made countless women crazy!
"If I'm not mistaken, you must have been to the Oulu Snow Mountain for the snowy ice dragon!"
"Yes, I've been there, but unfortunately, I haven't seen anything!"
"What does the snowy ice dragon have to do with Himma's illness?"
"People who eat snowy ice dragons will raise their body temperature to an alarming height, but this temperature will not cause any harm to the human body. On the contrary, due to the increase in body temperature, some useless impurities in the body will be eliminated!"
"Are you saying that Jima ate the snowy ice dragon in order to pretend to be sick?" Li Zijun asked as he looked at Camilla in surprise.
"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess was not so lucky, she just ate some pills refined from the feces of the ice dragons in the snowy region. Although the efficacy of these pills is much worse, they can still play a certain role. Crucially, it can also cause an increase in body temperature!"
"Are you saying that Jima ate the feces of the snowy ice dragonfish?" Li Zijun couldn't help but admire Jima's courage at this time.
"Don't laugh so obscenely! The creatures on the top of the Oulu Mountains are almost completely extinct, and the food that supports the survival of the snowy ice dragonfish must be very clean! Its feces are not the things we usually see, but a pale pink transparent crystal, which is not as dirty as you think!"
"Grandma, you're really amazing! You can see that Jima ate the feces of the ice dragons in the snowy region, I really think you're about to become a god!" Li Zijun heard Camilla say so much, and he had to sigh at her erudition and meticulousness!
"Actually, it doesn't have much to do with whether I'm smart or not, I just happen to know who has seen Hima before. And I happen to know a little bit about this person!"
"It's hard for an average person to get your attention, and he must not be easy!"
"The man who met Jima not long ago is named Gibran Beckett, and he is currently the head of the house at the side of the Queen Mother!"
"The head of internal affairs beside the Queen Mother, isn't he?" Li Zijun didn't mean to say the word 'eunuch'.
"He is indeed a eunuch, but he is the most powerful eunuch! You would never think that he is a sword saint, the only eunuch sword saint in the Youlan Continent!"
"A person like him must have a very talent, how can he be made a eunuch?"
"No one forced him, Gibran entered the palace of his own volition!"
"Weishenme?" asked Li Zijun, puzzled.
"For the sake of 'love'!"
"For love, is he the old friend of the Queen Mother?"
"Don't talk nonsense! Gibran entered the palace for the current Empress Athena!" Camilla looked at Li Zijun's surprised eyes and continued.
"Gibran and Athena are a pair of childhood sweethearts, but for the sake of the family, Athena Zuihou chose to marry Heller, a supporter of the family!"
"Gibran was heartbroken at the time, he gave up the pursuit of martial arts, and drunk himself every day, almost becoming a waste!"
"Zuihou's queen mother at that time, and today's queen mother, sent someone to find Gibran and let him tell him the conditions on which he could continue to be with Athena!"
"Gibran thought about it for three days and three nights under absolute sobriety, and finally swung his sword from the palace, and thus entered the palace and became the queen mother's internal affairs manager!"
"It's a pity! But when I heard you tell him about his achievements today, he must have pinned his hopes on the sword, and Zuihou has achieved such high results! Sometimes it's really hard to judge between gains and losses!" Hearing what happened to Gibran, Li Zijun sighed with emotion.
Just when everyone thought that Gibran would be depressed from now on, he actually broke through in a row and became another sword master of the Monlin Empire before he was forty years old!"
And what everyone didn't expect was that the first thing Gibran did after becoming a sword master was to climb the Oulu Snow Mountain and look for the snowy ice dragon for Athena's youth. ”
Since then, Gibran has climbed the Oulu Snow Mountain every year! Although he has never been able to see the shadow of the snowy ice dragon, the emperor has paid off, and he finally found some snow ice dragon droppings. ”
"Gibran used these feces to make some pills, which are very likely to help Athena stay young forever! Athena is also because of the use of these pills, from the outside, she looks like Jima's own sister! As long as you see Athena, you won't find anything funny!" Seeing Li Zijun laughing vigorously, Camilla deliberately pretended to be angry and said.
"Gibran is also an infatuated person, and he has not changed his heart for Athena for so many years, which is really rare!"
"It's just that he wants to make Jima pretend to be sick, what does he want Jima to hide?" Li Zijun stopped snickering, he looked at Camilla and said seriously.
"Gibran had been to Colin's house before he came here, could this news help you?"
"How's Colin's relationship with Gibran?"
Gibran just seems to have a special affection for Himma, and the others are more like floating clouds in his eyes!"
"Colin's house!?" Li Zijun muttered to himself, he suddenly thought of the scene of Colin and Jeffrey's arguing, and his eyes gradually cleared.
"I'm afraid someone borrowed Colin's hand and wanted to get rid of Yule! How could this be, it doesn't make sense?" Li Zijun said and became confused again.
"How does it not make sense?"
"Judging from Gibran's attitude, the queen should know about this matter, she weishenme didn't let Jima do this, but chose Colin!
"Once this matter is exposed in the future, Colin will be equivalent to completely leaving the seat of the race for the heir to the throne! The Monlin military will definitely not let go of the assassin of Yule easily, and Heller will not be able to choose such a person as the future prince of the Monlin Empire! Jima and Colin are both the children of Empress Athena, she will make such a choice, is she really ready to give up Colin? If she was forced to give up a child, I also think it should be the eldest princess, and Weishenme would be Colin?" Li Zijun looked at Camilla, hoping that she could give an answer. But Lee was disappointed because Camila was looking at him and shaking his head.
"Could it be?" Li Zijun suddenly thought of a possibility, and he couldn't help but smile obscenely.
"Could it be what?"
"Do you think Jima is Gibran's daughter?"
Camila was also taken aback when she heard Li Zijun's guess, but then she immediately figured out the trick.
"Impossible! Gibran entered the palace before Empress Athena conceived Hima, and Hima was born at full term, so there would never be the possibility you said!"
"What about Weishenme?" Li Zijun fell into deep thought again.
"You'd better think about yourself first, what do you think Heller will do next?"
"Anyway, Yule's life will be hard to save this time! But how can Heller make sure that I'm drawn into the trap? Does he really think that I'm going to take the risk of assassinating Yule at this time? If I'm not fooled, what else can he do about me?"
