Chapter 1242: Chapter 1237: Supervisor

“You don’t want to see her?” Jin Zijin mocked him with a smile: “Indeed, there’s no need to see her again. After all, her fate today is thanks to you. You never gave her wealth and honor, so she would never have tasted it. Had you not given her the courage to challenge the Empress, to be so arrogant, she would not have ended up so utterly isolated.”

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and indifferently continued: “Of course, she never really had any relatives to begin with. But she did ask me for one thing, to help her find her relatives.”

The Emperor sat upright on the Dragon Throne, his expression unreadable.

After a while, he sighed lightly and said: “Let’s wait until the matter of the Ducal Residence is over before discussing this.”

Jin Zijin made a sound of agreement and said no more.

Although Jin Fengzhao approached him, after all, it was the Emperor’s concern.

Since the Emperor had arranged everything from the beginning, only he knew where Jin Fengzhao had been found.

…

King Jin had somehow deceived the watchful eyes around him; by the time Gu Youyou saw him, he was dressed as a commoner, his face smeared with a lot of mud, his trouser legs rolled up high, his body also covered in mud, having just set down a cart of vegetables.

It seemed he was there to deliver vegetables to the Crown Prince Residence.

Gu Youyou had Xiang Chun invite him into the house, the courtyard that used to be Doctor Searcy’s.

After she married and moved to the outer courtyard, this one was only occasionally inhabited, with work usually still carried out here.

Doctor Searcy was startled to see a vegetable seller enter the yard and was about to say something when she recognized that the seller was King Jin.

She felt a bit embarrassed upon seeing King Jin, making faces at Gu Youyou and whispering: “Why did you bring him here, have you gone mad?”

Gu Youyou said: “I’m not mad, he’s here for medical treatment.”

King Jin greeted Doctor Searcy with a bow and said: “Doctor Searcy.”

Doctor Searcy pursed her lips and asked: “Seeking treatment? What kind of illness? Infertility?”

Caught by her words, Gu Youyou stumbled.

King Jin’s face turned red.

Gu Youyou hurriedly reassured King Jin: “Don’t be upset; she’s my assistant. The success rate of the surgery is higher with her around.”

King Jin nodded lightly without saying anything else.

He had truly been fond of Doctor Searcy in the past.

Her venomous and aggressive nature attracted him like a beautiful Ice Snake.

But he was a man with principles, and since she chose to abandon him to marry a carter, after his initial wrath, he gradually let go.

Especially now, he felt nothing for women anymore.

“Alright, that’s settled then, let’s begin inside,” Gu Youyou broke the awkwardness.

After administering an anesthetic injection, Jin Zijin entered the room, and Doctor Searcy, slightly startled, said: “For such a surgery, the Crown Prince is supervising?”

Jin Zijin watched them with a cold gaze, making the temperature in the room seem to drop several degrees.

Although he did not speak, the expression on his face made it very clear that he was indeed there to supervise.

Gu Youyou stuck out her tongue and said: “Let’s just start, consider him invisible.”

With Jin Zijin’s resentful gaze prickling at her back, Doctor Searcy, despite her usual carefree demeanor, felt truly uncomfortable and could not really regard him as invisible.

The surgery was conducted under immense pressure.

As Gu Youyou reached out to undo King Jin’s belt, the transparent figure behind her suddenly coughed.

Her hand shook, and she motioned for Doctor Searcy to take over.

Although Doctor Searcy was typically forthright, she was, after all, a woman from ancient times.

She hesitated for a moment, her face blushing with embarrassment.
