Chapter 708: Ming'er Resembles My Younger Self

s truly genuine.At this point, Zong Yi didn't even care about Jinxiu's unusual status. He immediately asked."What else do you need Just make a list, and I'll get it for you.""No rush, I'll go brew som...Fu Ming was so resistant to seeing a doctor, King Jing'an looked like he had a headache. Finally, he waved his hand dismissively.

"Alright, since the doctor said so."

"Go back."

The doctor, as if something monstrous was behind him, ran away like he had received a royal pardon.

Two members of the royal family are indeed more terrifying than a raging flood.

King Jing'an dismissed everyone, even Shen Li was driven out. When only the two of them were left in the room, he sat down and smiled at Fu Ming.

From a young age, Fu Ming had been afraid of this Uncle Wang who smiled like the Buddha of Maitreya. Back then, before Uncle Wang was granted his title as King, officials and commoners in the capital all said that among all the princes, this prince was the kindest.

Fu Ming, however, didn't feel that way.

He always thought the phrase "a smile hides a knife" was made specifically for him, his royal uncle.

Even if one has mentally prepared oneself beforehand, every time facing the Imperial Uncle's chilling smile, one can't help but feel goosebumps rise.

Fu Ming eased himself, borrowing the movement of pouring water to calm down. When he looked up again, his expression had changed back to innocent and harmless.

naive, young, and inexperienced.

"Uncle Emperor, you called everyone away. Is there something you want to tell your nephew"

King Jing'an didn't beat around the bush, but asked very directly.

"Ming'er, when will you set off back to the capital"

Last time Uncle Wang came to find him, he asked how he ran out of the capital and why he was in Muzhou.

He just made up an excuse, saying he snuck out to play.

It perfectly matched their perception of him as a lazy, good-for-nothing.

After leaving the capital, he began to wander aimlessly, drifting about until he accidentally ended up in Must Island.

Although this statement is far-fetched, it's not entirely impossible.

Even if Wang Shu didn't believe him, there was nothing he could do about it.

Strangely enough, Uncle Wang nodded in agreement after hearing it and didn't ask any further questions.

Fu Ming thought that this matter should be able to be put aside, and he could also stay in Muyu safely for a while.

I didn't expect it to be only two days.

"Uncle Wang, are you going to let Ming'er leave" Fu Ming put on a pitiful act immediately.

"Ming'er has never left the capital since she was young, and rarely even goes outside the palace. It's such a rare chance for her to come out this time, so please, Uncle Emperor, don't send her back so soon."

King Jing'an was taken aback. “This King didn’t want to chase you away, I was just considering the safety of Ming’er.”

"Besides, Your Majesty must be very anxious about your unauthorized departure from the capital."

"Your Majesty governs with great care and still worries about your safety, Ming'er. You are all grown up now and should be more responsible."

Fu Ming's mouth twitched into a barely perceptible sneer.

Worried about him In this world, anyone could worry about him, except for Father.

Perhaps, he'd even wish for him to die outside.

"Uncle Wang, I'll just stay for a few more days. After a few days, I will definitely obediently return to Beijing and won't worry you."

"Besides, Shen Li has been protecting me all the way. You see me, haven't I had any trouble at all"

King Jing'an narrowed his eyes, still with that smiling expression, but it felt different now, with a hint of pressure.

"Oh Then what about the dozens of men in black who tried to assassinate you on the street yesterday"

Fu Ming was taken aback, and for a moment he couldn't think of a good reason to comfort himself.

If he told Uncle Wang the truth, those people were after Fang Jinshu, and they just happened to implicate him. Perhaps Uncle Wang would blame Fang Jinshu and his wife.

No, I can't tell the truth. He's even planning to use Wang Shu's name to pressure Fang Jinshu and make her return to the capital with him to see his mother.

"I was wrong!"

"Those men in black got the wrong person, Uncle Wang. I'm telling you the truth."

King Jing'an remained silent for a long time.

Fu Ming awkwardly rubbed his nose. If he were sitting across from him, hearing such a lame excuse, he would probably jump up and point at the other person's nose to scold them.

Do you think I'm stupid

But King Jing An unexpectedly nodded his head.

"Oh, I see."

Fu Ming was stunned. Uncle Wang actually believed it again

After a long while, King Jing'an left Fu Ming's courtyard and returned to his study to sit down.

The attendant immediately presented a cup of tea, "Your Highness, the Seventh Prince is clearly lying. The one in the capital has always been wary of you."

"If one were to know that the Seventh Prince had run off to Muzhou and wasn't immediately escorted back to the capital, I fear it would only invite suspicion from that person."

In the steward's view, the prince was just asking for trouble.

Since my body has recovered somewhat, why bother getting involved in the royal court's messy affairs again

Jing'an Wang just smiled without saying a word, drank several sips of tea before letting out a long sigh, as if feeling much better.

"Ming'er is very much like me back then."

"When I was young, I was also outnumbered and helpless. In order to survive, I had to hide my talents and pretend to be stupid." Until now.hu didn't resist the idea of consummation with Zong Yu, it was this man, every time he teased her, she felt consumed by fire, but at the crucial moment, he always pulled back!She was becoming increasi...
