Chapter 1640: Soothe His Pain

Since his mother-in-law was persuading him to get some rest, Huo Yunshen had no choice but to comply.

“My liege,” Lan Yi said when the king was about to leave, “since the prince will be unconscious for the next few days, why don’t you take Jin Xiaoxi with you. She can prepare something to help with your pain.”

Huo Yunshen looked at Jin Xiaoxi and did not decline because she had played an essential role in taking care of his son.

Huo Yunshen left, and Lan Yi realized that Jin Xiaoxi was still standing where she was.

“What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go. I’ll leave the king in your care,” Lan Yi urged.

“Oh…” Jing Xi quickly picked up her bag and chased after Huo Yunshen.

Huo Yunshen went into his car and sat in the back seat.

His stomach was still hurting him, and he did not feel like conversing with anybody else.

Jing Xi quickly ran towards the car and boarded it before the driver closed the door behind her.

Jing Xi took a quick glance at the king and realized that the king was still in pain.

Jing Xi was distraught and starting to think of ways to soothe his pain.

She then remembered a collection of herbs that could help with the king’s symptoms and decided to try it out once she got back.

The car stopped in front of the palace, and Jing Xi got out before Huo Yunshen.

Yao Zheng had already gotten word that the king would return and greeted him excitedly.

“My liege, how was the surgery? Was it a success?” Yao Zheng asked.

“Yes.” Huo Yunshen gave a brief reply.

“That’s wonderful! You can finally rest now!” Yao Zheng exclaimed exaggeratedly.

“Whatever. Leave me alone. Don’t bother me if nothing special happens,” Huo Yunshen ordered and went back to his room.

Everyone left after the king, leaving Jin Xiaoxi and Yao Zheng alone.

“Why are you back?” Yao Zheng asked with a serious tone.

“I’m here to take care of the king,” Jing Xi replied without taking a step back.

“You? Taking care of the king? Who told you to come? I’m the one who’s supposed to take care of him!”

Yao Zheng was really furious, as she should finally be able to be alone with the king since both of the king’s children and Lan Yi were not there.

“Lan Yi was the one who arranged this. I only listen to her. If you don’t like it, then take it up with her,” Jing Xi said and decided to leave.

But before she could, Yao Zheng grabbed Jing Xi’s shoulder to stop her.

With pure reflexes, Jing Xi grabbed Yao Zheng’s wrist and threw her over her head.

Pained by the sudden hurl, Yao Zheng shouted in agony while Jing Xi went straight into the palace.

“You ugly bitch! Just you wait!” Yao Zheng cursed as Jing Xi disappeared from her sight.

The first thing Jing Xi did was look for herbs. She remembered that there were a lot of herbs that hadn’t even been opened yet in the kitchen.
