However, other than the powerful Emperor Jiujiu, there was no one else who could make Lin Zeyu become an assassin for him.
Jiujiu had always thought that the person who wanted to kill Lin Zeyu was the Emperor. Now that Lin Zeyu said this, Jiujiu suddenly understood.
If the person who wanted to kill Lin Zeyu was not the Emperor, then it must be the Crown Prince.
Thinking about it this way, it could be understood. Although the current Crown Prince was the son of the first wife, the Empress Yuan had passed away many years ago. The current Empress also had a son of the first wife. Whether it was temperament, talent, or ambition, they were all far better than the narrow-minded Crown Prince who constantly acted against his brothers.
It was normal for the Emperor to want to depose the Crown Prince.
In every dynasty, the Emperor had a group of secret guards who could not see the light of day. These secret guards only listened to the Emperor's orders.
The leader of the secret guards could be a eunuch or a palace maid. Even the person selling candy at the base of the city wall could be the leader of the secret guards. No one would have thought that the leader of this generation's secret guards would be the Zhenyuan Marquis Lin Zeyu.
However, what was fake was real, and what was real was fake.
The higher Lin Zeyu's status on the surface, the harder it was for people to guess that he was the leader of the secret guards.
The reason he was injured this time was probably because the Crown Prince had discovered his identity and pursued him while he was on a mission.
Although the Emperor already had the idea to depose the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince had been established for a long time. Furthermore, the Crown Prince was deeply rooted in the court. Even if the Emperor wanted to depose him, it was not something that could be done overnight. Furthermore, the Crown Prince's maternal grandfather was the current Grand Marshal of the military with a hundred thousand elite soldiers. If the Emperor could not find a good reason, the Grand Marshal of the military would probably do something else.
If Lin Zeyu's injury was not caused by the Emperor, then it must have been caused by the Crown Prince.
Because he had the backing of the Grand Marshal of the military, the Crown Prince's actions were especially domineering. If he knew that Lin Zeyu was the leader of the Emperor's secret guards, he would definitely kill him first.
No wonder Lin Zeyu was so hesitant when he said that he would repay him.
If he offended the Crown Prince, even if the Emperor protected him, if the Crown Prince really wanted to deal with him, it was not impossible. Although Lin Zeyu's hands were stained with blood, his personality was the most upright. Now that the world was unstable, he would definitely worry about the world first.
If a person wanted to become a sharp sword, he must have no weaknesses.
Now that he had been targeted by the Crown Prince, whether he used money to repay Jiujiu, power to repay Jiujiu, or even compromised to marry Jiujiu, no matter which one he chose, Jiujiu would become his weakness.
At that time, the Crown Prince would not only attack him alone, but would also implicate Jiujiu.
When she thought of this, Jiujiu's heart first warmed, then it was filled with heartache.
When she confirmed Lin Zeyu's identity, Jiujiu knew that Lin Zeyu definitely liked her. After she came to this conclusion, Jiujiu's originally matter-of-fact heart was instantly filled with emotions.
At this moment, the two of them were clearly strangers, but Lin Zeyu subconsciously wanted to protect her.
However, Lin Zeyu did not know that the more he acted like this, the more Jiujiu liked him.
Her man wanted to protect her, and she naturally wanted to protect her man.
Jiujiu's sudden silence had already made Lin Zeyu somewhat uncomfortable. Just as he was about to open his mouth to ask Jiujiu what was wrong, Jiujiu suddenly said: "I've thought about it."
"As long as Miss doesn't … don't ask for that, I can agree to anything else."
After saying this, Lin Zeyu's heart was particularly disappointed. However, when he thought of his current special status, he lowered his eyes to hide the disappointment in his eyes and said softly: "It's not that this one is unwilling to marry Miss, but this one's special status is not worthy of Miss. I hope Miss can understand."
"Then I'll only ask, do you still want your eyes to be healed?"
When Li Jiu found out that Lin Zeyu was blind, he searched for all the famous doctors in the capital, but none of them could cure Lin Zeyu. When the two of them separated, Lin Zeyu did not even know what Li Jiu looked like.
Although Lin Zeyu's eyes were healed later on, his eyes were only slightly better. Even so, it took a lot of effort.
However, Jiujiu was different. Her medical skills were superb. With the help of pills, as long as it did not go against the laws of heaven, even if Lin Zeyu was on his last breath, she could still cure him, not to mention that Lin Zeyu only had a problem with his eyes.
When he heard Jiujiu ask if he wanted his eyes cured, Lin Zeyu's originally unfocused eyes instantly lit up. He said in surprise: "Miss can cure this one's eyes."
"When I brought you back, you were on your last breath and I could still cure you, not to mention a pair of eyes."
Thinking of his injuries yesterday, Lin Zeyu's heart was 70% convinced.
Although he was now able to talk to Jiujiu in great spirits, yesterday, before he fainted, he could feel that his heart was about to stop beating.
Lin Zeyu instantly believed Jiujiu's words when he heard Jiujiu say that she could cure his eyes.
However, when he thought of Jiujiu's insistence that he devote himself to her, Lin Zeyu asked hesitantly: "Miss's condition is the same as before?"
"Of course." Jiujiu nodded as if it was a matter of course: "I once made a poison oath that I would only cure one person once. You already used it yesterday, but if you are my husband, then I can make an exception. How about it, do you agree or not?"
When he heard Jiujiu's words, Lin Zeyu's face instantly showed signs of struggle.
On one hand, he really wanted to recover as soon as possible and then give the information in his hands to the Emperor, but on the other hand, he was unwilling to agree to Jiujiu's request and let Jiujiu live in the same abyss of suffering as him in the future.
He wanted to cure his eyes, but Jiujiu was his savior. If he agreed to marry Jiujiu in order to cure his eyes, it would undoubtedly push Jiujiu into the fire pit. Lin Zeyu knew that he couldn't affect Jiujiu's safety for his own problems.
Even if he really wanted to ask Jiujiu to cure his eyes, Lin Zeyu couldn't say it when he thought of Jiujiu's words of dedicating herself to him.
Jiujiu thought that if she said the condition of curing his eyes, Lin Zeyu would agree no matter how conflicted he was. However, who knew that Lin Zeyu's mouth was as hard as a clam's shell. No matter what she said, he wouldn't agree.
Jiujiu looked at the stubborn Lin Zeyu and said with pursed lips: "What do you want for you to agree?"
Lin Zeyu lowered his eyes: "This one is already in a precarious situation. I can't delay Miss's life because of my own matters."
