Chapter 287 287; Did You Bring A Bastard For Me To Raise?
He closed his eyes and tried to regulate his breathing.. he aged in a matter of hours, his earlier gloss skin was pale as wrinkles formed through his face.
"Leave me alone." He laid down on bed, he didn't have much energy to think of the oncoming crisis.
Lin Juan who was done with his breakfast suddenly heard someone communicating with him through his mind.
"Master, there is a problem.. hurry up and come back to the Kingdom." He closed his eyes and snapped them open focused as he returned back to the bedroom.
Lin Huang was lazing around playing with a cube puzzle.
"Lin Huang.." Lin Juan gently called him to move over so that they could have a private chat.
Lin Huang confirmed his brother was asleep before he approached the direction his dad stood.
"Yes Dad.."
"I have to go somewhere.. watch over your brother, I might travel for a while looking for the necessary herb that could cure his eyes.."
" All right dad.. be safe.." he hugged him back tightly.
" All right son.. will you two be fine?" He inquired worriedly.
" Yes Dad.." he smiled sweetly at him, comforting him.
"All right, make sure he doesn't come in touch with any herbs you brought back until I'm back or he can wear gloves, but make sure it's wet juices doesn't come into contact with his skin.."
" All right dad, come back soon.."
He kissed his cheeks and approached Lin Hong and pecked his forehead before changing his clothes and vanished.
Lin Huang knew his father wasn't any human just from his aura alone but he had never had any guts to inquire the amount of differences amongst the three of them.
He sat down beside his brother and kept watch as he went on looking at the magazines.
It didn't take long before Lin Juan arrived at the Healing Pond wearing his brocade robe.
"My Prince.." they bowed respectfully.
"That isn't the reason you summoned me back.." his voice was cold and unfeeling.
" Seventh Prince fell ill after visiting us.. so we thought it could be the Queen who wanted to set up a trap for you.." Temmo side-eyed him while reporting.
Lin Juan walked down the corridor into the seventh prince's chamber room and saw him laying there silently.
The concubine raised her head and saw that it was Lin Juan.
She and her son had always been good and protective of him.. they gave sacrificed alot because of him..
"My prince.. I beg of you please save my son.. please save him.." she knelt down begging.
She kowtowed begging, " it's okay I will think of something.."
He bent a little and felt his pulse, he could tell it was spell that was casted upon him and not the poison they were talking about.
He turned around to look at the concubine frowning, this woman and her son has been a pillar and supporters to him unconditionally, he wouldn't let anything happen to them.
"What..? What happened?" She frieked out as she moved forward with her knees.
Lin Juan bent down and whispered softly across her ear, audible only the two of them.
"It's a spell that they casted on him.. he is not poisoned."
" What?" She screamed out loudly in horror, the soldiers looked at her nervously as they stood several steps away guarding the entire courtyard.
"I will think of something but first.. let it be a secret or else we may never find the culprit.." he walked away down the corridor into the dungeon.
The concubine now had some hopes, she whispered across her son's ears, "did you hear that? He will think of something.. he won't let you sleep forever.."
He had heard that the Queen and the Prince were locked up down there.
The king also walked down the corridor going to the dungeon cell, he wanted to see the Queen and interrogate her.
They met on the way, "how are you son?"
"Am fine dad.. what happened?" He curiously inquired but the sadness was vividly displayed on his face with every minute of frowning.
"He walked along the corridor but suddenly fell ill.. so I don't know exactly what happened and the only people I think could have poisoned him could be the first prince and his mother, they are the only ones hungry for power.."
" All right father.. I think this case needs a serious investigation, my mother and my brother didn't commit this crime.."
" Why are you defending them? Isn't the seventh prince also your brother.." he angrily questioned him.
" Father, one thing you need to know; not every ambitious person will show you what they want, some are coveting your power silently and watching from a distance waiting for the perfect time to strike.."
The Dragon King immediately grasped the most important key points.
" So do you have any leads apart from the Queen? Because she is the only person from that clan that deal with worm poisoning.."
" Father, you need to be careful, don't trust people anyhowly.. be more vigilant.."
He walked forward a few steps before arriving at the dungeon cell.
He looked inside and saw the two deflated souls who seemed to be on a verge of breaking down.
"Son.. you have to tell them.. I really didn't.. I honestly didn't.."
" I really didn't poison him.."
" Son.. you have to believe me.."
" Mother, there is a question I have been wanting to ask you.. are you really my mother? If you are honest with me, then I will find several evidences to proof that you are innocent and get you out of here.."
" Son.. what kind of question is that!" She flinched nervously as the King stood there beside him.
He was surprised with the kind of question his son was asking but he looked at the woman who seemed to be nervous.
"You know, I can give you time and tell me when you are ready.. I'm certain that you aren't my mother.."
" I'm your mother of course or do you want me to say that you aren't? Will that give you an answer you want?" She sat down and looked down silently.
Lin Juan knew this woman wouldn't say anything so long as it was more than the two of them and more people around.
"All right.. I will find you in an hours time." He walked away and left the King there.
"So he isn't my son? Did you bring a bastard for me to raise?" The king turned cold and felt humiliated.
The Dragon Queen raised her head and looked at the King, "hahahaha.. hahahaha.." she laughed out maniacally.
The first prince and the King looked at her laughter shocked.
