Chapter 169: First Update
He Jin stared at this strange stranger, a face incredibly hideous, all bones and no flesh visible amidst the creased face, and the disheveled hair only added to the eeriness and fear.
Lan Xing, receiving no answer, stepped forward anxiously, and He Jin felt the tension in the air. He didn’t know with what kind of mentality he should consider this matter regarding the appearance of this stranger.
Lan Xing was highly regarded by Zheng Tianxin, and no matter what Zheng Tianxin did, Lan Xing was always by his side. Therefore, it made no sense for someone he brought to harm Zheng Tianxin.
Thinking this way, He Jin didn’t know whether to feel happy or lost, the only consolation being that if something had really happened to Zheng Tianxin at this moment, he himself would certainly not end up well. So then, what was the purpose of all he had endured over these many years?
The lean and weak man turned his head, and his short hair, which had stood up like steel needles, fell limply back down, returning to its original filthy appearance.
He Jin distinctly felt Zheng Tianxin’s body slump down softly.
"Just sleep it off," the man spat out a phrase that was very cryptic, but because it was short, He Jin actually understood it.
Without waiting for Lan Xing to speak, He Jin put Zheng Tianxin back on the bed and glanced at Lan Xing.
"What happened?" He Jin suddenly asked. Lan Xing was taken aback, not expecting the Prince Consort, who never inquired about anything, to take the initiative to ask.
Lan Xing hesitated only briefly before cautiously speaking up.
"Replying to Your Highness the Prince Consort, the Eldest Princess encountered some trouble a few days ago; this person has some connections with the Qiandao Temple." As soon as the Eldest Princess left Prince Duan’s Mansion, people were sent to investigate that mysterious eunuch by Princess Chao Ren’s side.
