Chapter 1240 The Probe

Hot spring?

A hot spring bath?

Freya, who was in a daze, was suddenly jolted awake when she heard this. She jumped up from the bed.

Before Bradley could speak, she got out of bed and walked over, saying, "I'm feeling quite well. Your Majesty of Yelü, please wait for me. I'll go and diagnose Prince Mingshuo's condition as soon as I'm ready."

This was a good opportunity.

When taking a hot spring bath, it would be clear at a glance who had a birthmark on their body.

Freya naturally wouldn't miss such a great chance.

Bradley was also a bit surprised. Originally, he had been thinking that he would still have to find a way to get Yelü Qi to invite everyone to take a hot spring bath. After all, the hot springs in Country Z were famous internationally. He didn't expect that Yelü Qi would bring it up on his own initiative.

In that case, it would really be inappropriate to refuse to treat Yelü Mingshuo any longer.

"Since my wife has agreed, I'll take her there later."

Yelü Qi couldn't hide his excitement when he saw that they had agreed. "Great, great. I'll go and wait for you two in Mingshuo's bedroom first. Take your time, there's no rush."

Just before dawn, Yelü Mingshuo suddenly had difficulty breathing, which worried everyone.

The princess consort remembered Freya's medical skills and suggested inviting her to come and take a look.

Yelü Qi himself suspected these two people and couldn't bring himself to ask Freya to help save his son's life.

But he couldn't bear to see his son die, and if there was really no one to succeed him in Country Z in the future, he decided to come and ask in person.

Fortunately, Freya had agreed. Otherwise, Yelü Mingshuo's life might not be saved!

As soon as Yelü Qi left, Bradley looked at Freya and said, "The hot spring bath is our opportunity. I'll ask Blue Book to join us and keep an eye on the physical characteristics of everyone together."

Freya nodded and said, "Okay, then let's go and see Yelü Mingshuo first."

It would be best if the person didn't die. If he did, Yelü Qi probably wouldn't be in the mood to hold the hot spring bath.

Bradley nodded.

The two of them packed up briefly and then rushed to Yelü Mingshuo's bedroom.

Before they even stepped in, they heard angry shouts coming from inside, "If you can't save him, what's the use of keeping you?"

It seemed that Yelü Mingshuo's condition was serious, and Yelü Qi was already restless.

"Your Majesty, the Queen of Solterra is here." The princess consort casually glanced aside and suddenly saw the two people standing outside the hall. She quickly said to Yelü Qi.

Yelü Qi immediately greeted them, "Queen of Solterra, please do everything you can to save Mingshuo!"

"I'll do my best."

Freya didn't dare to make any promises before seeing Yelü Mingshuo's injuries.

As she got closer, she saw a person lying on the bed from a distance, covered all over with bandages.

Except for his eyes and nostrils, it was basically impossible to see his injuries.

Freya approached and first took Yelü Mingshuo's pulse. Indeed, his pulse was weak, and his life was hanging by a thread.

Then she examined his injuries. When the bandages were loosen, she found that Yelü Mingshuo was covered in burns, and his skin was as black as charcoal all over his body.

According to the guards in the palace, the reason why Yelü Mingshuo was burned so severely was that when the fire first started, Yelü Mingshuo, in order to escape, wrapped himself in a quilt and rushed out.

Dry quilts are inherently flammable items, and as soon as they came into contact with the fire, they naturally burned quickly.

She didn't expect Yelü Mingshuo to be so stupid that he didn't even know basic common sense.

When Yelü Qi saw her serious expression, he asked anxiously, "Queen of Solterra, can my son still be saved?"

Freya pinched the center of her eyebrows and said in a solemn tone, "He's too severely injured. I'll give it a try. However, I'd like to ask Your Majesty to please send all the idle people away first. I don't want anyone to disturb me when I'm giving the acupuncture treatment."

Hearing this, Yelü Qi immediately dismissed everyone.

When it was quiet around, Freya took out her needle pack and started giving Yelü Mingshuo acupuncture.

With such injuries, even if he recovered, there would definitely be ugly scars all over his body.

Unless there was also a master of facial restoration like Hua Lingxu in Country Z, otherwise, Yelü Mingshuo's life would be ruined!

During the acupuncture treatment, Yelü Mingshuo's pulse suddenly dropped sharply, which made Freya quickly pull out all the silver needles.

What was going on?

She checked Yelü Mingshuo's heart rate again. His heart and lungs had inhaled too much smoke in the fire. Now Yelü Mingshuo was only hanging on by a thread. If the acupuncture couldn't stimulate him, even the gods might not be able to save his life.

Freya sat there without moving for a long time, thinking about the next rescue plan.

No matter what, before her true identity was investigated clearly, Yelü Mingshuo had to stay alive!

...

Outside the door, everyone was waiting anxiously.

Especially the queen, who kept crying. In the end, Yelü Qi, feeling annoyed, had someone send her back first.

Bradley was also waiting outside. It had been more than an hour since Freya went in, and there was still no movement from inside, which gave him a bad feeling.

"Your Majesty of Solterra, let's go to the pavilion in front and make some tea!"

Yelü Qi was also anxious. After all, the person lying inside was his son. Although he wasn't his biological son, he had been raised since childhood, and he had some feelings for him.

Moreover, now that he was married to Xingyue, if something went wrong now, what would happen to Xingyue?

But the people in front of him were honored guests. Even if he wasn't in the mood, he couldn't neglect them.

Bradley put his hands in his pockets and leaned lazily against the wall. When he heard what Yelü Qi said, he nodded and followed him to the pavilion opposite.

The maids brought tea and desserts, and the two of them sat facing each other.

Yelü Qi picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then let out a heavy sigh. "It was originally a joyous occasion, but one trouble after another has occurred in the palace. Now Mingshuo is still lying in bed, his life and death uncertain. I'm afraid I've made Your Majesty of Solterra laugh."

Bradley drank the tea without any expression on his face and said in a flat tone, "Has Your Majesty found the arsonist?"

Then he saw Yelü Qi's expression change slightly. The tea cup landed on the table, and Yelü Qi looked at Bradley with a scrutinizing gaze, but he didn't speak for a long time.

Bradley was a man of great cultivation. He still drank the tea with an air of superiority, as if he didn't notice Yelü Qi's strange expression.

After a while, they heard Yelü Qi say, "The other party clearly came prepared and didn't leave any clues. However, I heard that Your Majesty of Solterra has a mysterious force that can gather information from all over the world at the fastest speed. Can I ask Your Majesty of Solterra to help me catch the real culprit behind the scenes?"

These words had a deep hidden meaning!

How could Bradley not hear that Yelü Qi was probing him?

He gracefully put down the tea cup, and the corner of his mouth curved up. "The palace of Country Z is heavily guarded, and not even the slightest clue has been found. Even if my people have the ability to track, they can't find the mastermind behind the scenes without any clues."

"So, I'm afraid I can't help Your Majesty with this matter!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yelü Qi's expression clearly changed.

On the surface, the two of them seemed calm, but in fact, their hearts were churning.

Yelü Qi's suspicion of Bradley had never stopped, but without evidence, he didn't dare to probe too deeply.

And Bradley remained calm throughout, without revealing the slightest flaw, looking so calm as if the whole thing had nothing to do with him.
