The words of the man in black were like sharp blades, cutting his flesh into pieces one by one.

Yelü Mingshuo knew that he was now like a disabled person. Even if he recovered in the future, it would be very difficult for his face to return to its former state.

Yelü Qi already had a lot of dissatisfaction with him and was secretly looking for a more suitable heir. If he found one, he would definitely mercilessly depose him as the crown prince.

So, instead of waiting to be deposed and becoming nothing, it was better to take the initiative and get what he wanted.

As long as he obtained the throne, he would have control over the entire Country Z. At that time, what would Leonard be? The power of Country Z would be enough to level the entire Solterra.

"What about you? What do you want?"

Since the other party promised to help him, he surely wouldn't make a losing deal.

The man in black sneered coldly. "I want a long-term free pass for Country Z, and... Leonard's life!"

Hearing this, Yelü Mingshuo looked at the other person's face carefully.

With a black cloth covering his face in the dark night, his accent didn't sound like that of a person from Country Z at all.

That is to say, this person's goal was to gain a foothold in Country Z and use the power of Country Z to help him bring down Leonard.

"I'll give you time to think about it. I'll come back at this time tomorrow night for your answer."

After saying that, the man in black turned to leave.

"Wait!"

Yelü Mingshuo called out to him and said firmly, "There's no need to think about it. I agree to cooperate with you."

Now, he had no better way out. At this time, he desperately needed power.

If the man in black could help him, perhaps it wouldn't be long before he could seize the throne!

"The crown prince is indeed a smart man. Well, pleasant cooperation!" After saying this, the man in black threw a black box over, and his ancient-like voice sounded again, "If you need anything in the future, take out this thing and send out a signal, and I'll naturally appear. But now you need to do one thing. Find an opportunity to kill Mr. Ouyang and then try to frame it on Leonard's woman. Then our game will officially begin."

"Also, don't summon me unless it's necessary, so as not to expose my whereabouts."

After saying these words, the man in black had already climbed out of the window and disappeared into the twilight.

Yelü Mingshuo clenched the small box and used all his strength to open it. Inside lay a delicately crafted short flute.

He looked into the night, trying to figure out the identity of the man in black!

...

Early the next morning, there was a lot of noise in the palace again, which woke up the two people who were sleeping.

Bradley and Freya sat up from the bed at the same time. After looking at each other, Bradley called Blue Book to ask about the situation.

"What happened?"

It had been quiet for a few days, and such a loud noise suddenly occurred out of the blue, making people wonder if there was a new change.

Blue Book rushed in with a hasty expression and reported, "Your Majesty and Your Highness, Mr. Ouyang suddenly fell ill before dawn, and the situation is critical..."

"What?"

Before Blue Book could finish speaking, Freya suddenly jumped out of bed, changed her clothes as quickly as possible, and said to Bradley in a hurry, "Mr. Ouyang's condition has already stabilized. It's impossible for him to suddenly fall ill. There must be something wrong with this."

"Bradley, I want to go and take a look myself."

After saying that, she was about to leave. Bradley quickly stepped forward and grabbed her hand. "Freya, don't be nervous. Wait for me. I'll go with you."

Bradley also got himself ready as quickly as possible, and the two of them rushed to find out the situation.

Strangely enough, usually when the two of them came out at this time, there would always be guards coming up to persuade them to go back. But today, it was surprisingly smooth. No one stopped them along the way, and they successfully reached Mr. Ouyang's room.

The two of them rushed in, and a group of doctors were trying to save Mr. Ouyang.

Yelü Qi's face darkened when he saw them. But considering their status, he didn't show his dissatisfaction too much. Moreover, since Freya was a renowned doctor and he was worried that if Mr. Ouyang really died, Country Z would get into big trouble, he stepped forward and asked Freya to help with the treatment.

Freya also wanted to determine Mr. Ouyang's condition and quickly joined in the rescue.

Mr. Ouyang was already old, and he suffered from severe cardiovascular disease. The rescue process was very difficult, and his heart rate stopped several times.

The scene was extremely chaotic. The doctors present were all experienced experts, and they held different opinions on how to treat him.

Seeing that the patient was on the verge of death and everyone was still arguing, Freya interrupted their quarrel.

"Everyone, if we keep arguing like this, the patient will really die."

Her voice quickly quieted down the scene.

Everyone's eyes fell on her.

At this time, someone suggested, "Her Highness of Solterra is the renowned doctor Lexi. She has also inherited all the medical skills of the old doctor Gu. Her medical skills are unparalleled. I suggest that Her Highness of Solterra take a look at the situation first and then make a plan."

"I agree."

Soon someone echoed.

Remembering that Freya had saved Yelü Mingshuo's life with her strength last time, they thought that maybe she could also save Mr. Ouyang this time, so they stepped aside one after another.

Freya stepped forward and just quietly observed Mr. Ouyang's face. After a long time, she began to perform acupuncture.

However, Mr. Ouyang suddenly had a spasm all over his body, which caught everyone off guard.

Freya was also taken by surprise. Why, all of a sudden, Mr. Ouyang's body strongly rejected her acupuncture method?

Just as she was thinking about the treatment method, someone suddenly bumped into her.

Freya didn't react in time, and the silver needle in her hand suddenly stabbed down.

The heart rate monitor let out a sharp alarm. The patient's vital signs were weakening.

"Something's wrong. Mr. Ouyang is in danger of losing his life."

Soon, a group of people crowded around again, and Freya was squeezed in the middle, her mind still not having reacted.

Her ears were filled with a buzzing sound and the anxious voices of all the doctors.

Just as Freya understood what had happened, she quickly took rescue measures.

The needle had been inserted in the wrong place, causing the crisis. If the condition wasn't controlled in time, Mr. Ouyang would definitely be beyond medical help tonight.

It was noisy inside, and Bradley, who was waiting outside, for some reason, felt a sharp pain in his heart, and a sense of foreboding welled up in him.

This feeling came very quickly and persisted.

He pressed his chest and frowned as he looked at that door.

Soon, someone ran out and reported, "Your Majesty, Mr. Ouyang is dying."

When Yelü Qi heard this news, he staggered back two steps, and then an angry roar came out, "Save him for me. If Mr. Ouyang dies, none of you will be able to escape responsibility."

"Yes."

The door closed again, and the noisy atmosphere inside was once again covered up.

Yelü Qi's face was very bad. Mr. Ouyang's secretary had died, and he had used some means to suppress the anger of the investigators from Huaguo. If something happened to Mr. Ouyang at this time, Huaguo would definitely not let it go.
