“Ah—” I was pushed slightly from behind and fell forward, crashing onto Jin Mo.
Turning angrily to look at the person behind me, I was startled by a light cough and quickly turned back to see Jin Mo opening his eyes.
Hurriedly supporting him, I let him cough and spit out a pool of chicken soup, patting his back to help him catch his breath. How miraculous! It was just like the Snow White story, though it seemed more like a Snow White prince.
“What’s wrong with the imperial surname…?” I was stunned. Fanyi Kingdom! Is Yiqing a prince of Fanyi Kingdom?! No wonder he said sandalwood is worthless; his family is least short of money. My heart was filled with mixed emotions.
“No matter how much he is discriminated against by the Geyin imperial clan, he is still a prince of Fanyi, with national and familial grudges to settle,” Wuchen sighed. “Xin, shall we go find him?”
My eyes turned red.
“Although he has suffered a lot, he has never truly traveled far, and I’m afraid…” Wuchen urged me anxiously.
“We’ll go find him! Even if we have to search the entire world, I will bring him back!” I said firmly.
“What about Jin Mo…?” Jing Hao hesitated.
I frowned. I could search the world to find Yiqing, regardless of his past with Geyin; he is now our Yiqing. But what about Jin Mo? Should we split up? In the future, he is an emperor, not someone we can simply take away.
“I’ll go with you!” Jin Mo turned back.
“Why are you coming too?” I hurried to help him sit down.
“I’m fine. I’ll go with you to find him,” Jin Mo insisted.
“I owe him.”
Everyone fell silent. Finally, Xiao Zizi broke the silence: “How will you go? Here…”
Jin Mo smiled faintly: “Didn’t I just die?”
A pause. Everyone understood. Then Feng Qingyin shook her head, looking at Jin Mo: “What about your kingdom?” The sudden death of a king would leave the realm in chaos.
Jin Mo was not angry: “Do you think I would set out without preparation?” He sipped tea. “Before leaving, I issued an edict. If anything happens, the throne will pass to Prince Yumei.”
“Prince Yumei?” I looked at Jin Mo, knowing he definitely had a backup plan.
