Chapter 669 Lucky Enough To Be His Princess (Part Two)
When Francis arrived, the emperor was suffering from a relapse. The young pharmacy apprentice whowas delivering medicine for the emperor was so scared. He looked so pale and he didn't have thecourage to look up at the emperor. Francis took the box from the apprentice and ordered him to leave.The pharmacist ran out of the hall as soon as he received the command.
"Your Highness, what should we do? The emperor is in great pain. If we don't get more supplies of themedicine, I'm afraid..." Andy said with so much hesitation. He couldn't even finish his sentence.
"This is a new type of pill that had been developed by the Imperial Academy of Medicine. Just letFather take it." Francis handed the medicine box to Andy. The latter quickly took out a pill and fed it tothe emperor. Without wasting a single heartbeat, the emperor almost gobbled it. A while later, the painof bone erosion inside his body gradually disappeared, and he finally returned to normal.
"Father, I will be waiting for you outside of the palace. Please freshen up first." Francis, who wasstanding in the outer hall, looked elegant, charming, and dignified. The emperor couldn't help but burstinto a rage when he found himself in a total mess. Fortunately, there was a hot spring pool at theTranquil Hall. An hour later, the emperor finished bathing and came out.
"Father, I have already prepared everything for Lilian's marriage. However, as for the envoy for themarriage alliance, I haven't decided yet. I have two candidates. Father, please make the decision."Francis offered the report with both of his hands.
Andy took it and handed it to the emperor. The latter had just taken the medicine so he felt comfort andease all over his body. It made him feel much better. Looking at the report that Francis delivered, hethought for a few moments while his eyes flickered.
"As for the envoy for the marriage alliance, just choose Matthew."novelbin
Francis nodded in agreement. The corners of his mouth seemed to curve upwards, but it was hard totell if it was really a smile. "Father, I will obey as you commanded. I'll send someone to deliver theimperial edict. Uncle Matthew, as the envoy for making peace and the marriage alliance, will escortLilian to the Great Jade Kingdom. I hope that the Bright Dynasty and the Great Jade Kingdom will havea permanent alliance and will never be in conflict with each other again."
"Well, have you found Felix and his whereabouts?"
"Father, I haven't found him yet. But when I searched his mansion, I found a prescription for theLongevity Pill. I handed it to the Imperial Academy of Medicine to make some new pills for you. Father,you just took the newly-made pill earlier. Without a doubt, it seems like the prescription that we found isthe Longevity Pill indeed."
The emperor gnashed his teeth. If he still believed that the Longevity Pill could prolong his life, hewould be foolish. "What the hell is wrong with the medicine?" he snapped.
"All the imperial physicians have checked it and they said it was not poisonous. I don't know what'sgoing on," Francis stated.
"Call Harper into the palace."
Francis remained unmoved and said, "Father, although Aunt Harper is a good physician, she may notknow anything about it. After all, she also studied the Longevity Pill, but didn't find anything wrong withit. Father, when I was made aware that you are not feeling well due to the pill, I asked Aunt Harperalready. With your symptoms in consideration, she thought that the Longevity Pill must be a kind ofmedicine that makes people feel addicted to it. And if they don't take it, they will experience all kinds ofside effects."
The emperor clenched his fist in anger. He couldn't be more spiteful towards Felix who presented himthe poison. Thus, he said, "Francis, you must catch Felix and bring him back. I must cut him into
pieces!"
"Yes, Father."
Then, Francis came out of the Tranquil Hall to meet Lilian. As the princess who was chosen for thepolitical marriage, she had a flushed face.
Lilian bowed respectfully before greeting him, "Francis, when will the procession for the peace allianceset off?"
"I am going to Uncle Matthew's mansion to inform him that our father had commanded him to be theenvoy of the procession. Everything is ready for your marriage. You should also go back and makepreparations. We will leave early tomorrow morning." Francis reached out his hand and put Lilian'sdisorderly hair behind her ear. "The Great Jade Kingdom is different from our country. When you getthere, don't be so stubborn and mischievous like how you are in here. Do you understand?"
"All right, I will remember all of that."
Francis was silent for a while, seemingly in deep thoughts. He then took out an exquisite box from hispocket and said, "This is a gift for you. It's a long way from here to the Great Jade Kingdom, and I don'tknow when we can meet again. I wish you well."
"Thank you, Francis."
While looking at Francis' receding figure, Lilian had an inexplicable emotion in her eyes.
"Your Highness, Prince Francis is handsome, gentle, and kind to everyone. I can't help but wonderwhat kind of young lady will be lucky enough to be his princess." Lilian's maid looked so infatuatedwhile she looked at Francis' retreating figure.
Lilian smiled faintly and said, "Well, one thing's for sure. You won't have that honor. Francis is so gentlethat he treats everyone the same. Everyone admires him so much. But that's why everyone is thesame to him. He likes the woman who is special. I wonder who else is qualified to attract his attention."
"She must be as beautiful as a fairy."
With a smile, Lilian asked, "Fairy? I don't think he fancies a woman with a good looking appearance.The woman he likes doesn't have to be stunning, but she must be extraordinary and admirable."
"Speaking of the woman who is extremely extraordinary and admirable, I know one." The maidtrembled with laughter. "It's Princess Harper. Prince Matthew treats her as precious as a pearl. YourHighness, I hope that after you get married to Emperor Rolando of the Great Jade Kingdom, he'll treatyou the same way."
Lilian laughed while the smile on her face grew even wider. "Your mouth is just oozing with flowers."She then thought to herself, 'Rolando, I'm coming for you. This time, you won't refuse me, willyou?'
