The Crown Prince's power was like the sun in the sky, and he had the support of the Grand Marshal's hundred thousand elite soldiers. If the Emperor couldn't find conclusive evidence to depose the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince would definitely find a loophole.
The problem now was that after sensing that the Emperor wanted to depose him, the originally arrogant Crown Prince understood the situation and tucked his tail between his legs.
Even if he couldn't compare to the Empress's legitimate son, he couldn't stop him. If he wanted to depose the Crown Prince without any merit or fault, not to mention the Crown Prince's people, even the civil and military officials wouldn't agree.
Right now, the Emperor was in his prime, and so was the Crown Prince.
When the Emperor and the Crown Prince fought, it would be impossible to determine the victor without three to five years.
Even if he was willing to wait three to five years before marrying Jiujiu, would Jiujiu be willing?
Women were always at a disadvantage compared to men. Although Jiujiu looked young, she should be of marriageable age. She could wait for a year or two, but it was impossible for her to wait for three to five years.
When he thought of Jiujiu marrying someone else, Lin Zeyu felt as if he had eaten a lot of lemons, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
However, if he wanted to directly marry Jiujiu and put Jiujiu in a dangerous situation, Lin Zeyu couldn't do it.
At this time, Lin Zeyu was caught in a dilemma.
"Does gongzi want to marry me?" After sensing Lin Zeyu's conflicted gaze, Jiujiu knew that Lin Zeyu was regretting it.
Hearing Jiujiu's question, Lin Zeyu's mouth opened and closed, but after a moment, he firmly shook his head: "This one will never forget Miss's life-saving grace, but marrying Miss is … …"
"Is it still not possible?"
When Lin Zeyu said the first half of the sentence, Jiujiu knew what he wanted to say.
Seeing that Jiujiu was particularly quick to reply to the second half of the sentence, Lin Zeyu's words of rejection were instantly stuck in his throat, and he couldn't spit out a single word.
Encountering such a smart woman like Jiujiu, Lin Zeyu really didn't know what to say.
"Don't worry, Mister Lin. If you don't want to marry me, I won't force you." Jiujiu looked into Lin Zeyu's eyes and changed the topic. "After all, I'm so beautiful and my medical skills are so good. Many people want to marry me."
After Jiujiu finished speaking, she raised her hand and waved at Lin Zeyu.
Little White and Steamed Bun, who had been in the background, immediately rushed out and hugged Jiujiu's calves, acting spoiled.
Jiujiu stretched out her index finger and scratched Steamed Bun's chin.
Steamed Bun immediately let out a comfortable purr, and his eyes narrowed into slits.
Seeing Steamed Bun so comfortable, Little White didn't want to be outdone. He clung onto Jiujiu's calves and acted spoiled, wagging his little tail even more.
Seeing Jiujiu lower her head to play with Little White and Steamed Bun, Lin Zeyu's heart was both happy and sad.
He was happy that Jiujiu finally understood and didn't continue to ask him to marry her. But he was sad because Jiujiu was so outstanding. Even if he didn't want to marry her, it was just as she said. Many people wanted to marry her.
Even if he was the one who asked, Lin Zeyu's heart didn't feel good when he thought of Jiujiu marrying someone else.
Because of Lin Zeyu's refusal, Jiujiu went to the kitchen to cook after playing with Steamed Bun and Little White. Not long after, an alluring fragrance came from the room.
After cooking, Jiujiu prepared a portion of the food and brought it to Lin Zeyu. She told him to eat while she went to the kitchen to eat.
After eating, Jiujiu went outside to refine pills.
In the past, Lin Zeyu felt that Jiujiu was a bit noisy when she spoke in a low voice in front of him every day. But now that she suddenly became quiet, he couldn't help but feel a bit uncomfortable.
Lin Zeyu propped himself up from the bed with one hand and slowly moved outside.
When he saw Jiujiu sitting in the courtyard arranging herbs, Lin Zeyu immediately said, "Miss, let me help you."
Hearing Lin Zeyu's voice, Jiujiu stopped what she was doing. She turned her head and looked at Lin Zeyu. She asked, "Does Young Master know how to concoct herbs?"
Lin Zeyu pursed his lips, "I don't know."
"Then do you know how to cook?"
Lin Zeyu shook his head, "I don't know."
He knew how to kill people and strategize, but he really didn't know how to cook.
"Then Young Master, do you know how to make a fire?"
"I don't know."
Jiujiu asked three questions in a row, but Lin Zeyu shook his head and said he didn't know. Jiujiu chuckled and said, "Young Master doesn't know anything, so how can you help me? Stand on the side and cheer me on when I'm doing something? "
Lin Zeyu, "…"
Jiujiu stood up and took out a cushioned stool from the side hut and put it behind Lin Zeyu. She helped Lin Zeyu to sit down and said, "Since Young Master doesn't know anything, just sit here and watch. After all, if you touch the wound, it will take a few days for the wound to heal."
As soon as Jiujiu said this, Lin Zeyu instantly fell silent.
He wanted the wound to heal. He desperately wanted the wound to heal as soon as possible.
As soon as he recovered, he could give the evidence in his hands to the Emperor as soon as possible.
Although the evidence in his hands was not enough to arrest the Crown Prince, it could greatly damage the Crown Prince. Otherwise, the Crown Prince would not spend so much money to hunt him down.
However, when he thought that he might not be able to see Jiujiu again after he recovered, Lin Zeyu's originally urgent mood suddenly became less urgent.
He could give the evidence at any time, but if he recovered, it would be difficult for him to see Jiujiu again.
Lin Zeyu looked up at Jiujiu.
At this time, Jiujiu was sorting out the herbs she had picked. Because she was so focused, she did not even notice the strands of hair falling down beside her ear.
Seeing the strands of hair falling down Jiujiu's cheek, Lin Zeyu's fingers twitched.
If possible, he really wanted to help Jiujiu pin up her hair.
After Jiujiu finished sorting out the herbs, she went to the kitchen to start cooking.
After Jiujiu finished cooking, she took care of Lin Zeyu and helped Lin Zeyu into the room. She looked up at the dark sky and thought for a moment before saying, "I'm leaving first."
When Lin Zeyu went out today, he had already seen where he was.
He was at the foot of a mountain with his back against the cliff. From the wild animals that could be seen everywhere, it was clear that there were very few people here.
No wonder those people did not find this place. They probably did not expect to be here.
However, those people did not find this place. Did that mean that when Jiujiu said she was leaving, she was going somewhere far away?
Just as Lin Zeyu was thinking about whether to let Jiujiu stay, he saw Jiujiu fly up the cliff like an arrow. In the blink of an eye, he could no longer see Jiujiu's figure.
Lin Zeyu was still hesitating about whether he should say something, but the words were stuck in his throat. His originally worried heart about Jiujiu was instantly cleared.
If Jiujiu's martial arts were so strong, then …
