Chapter 1,288 Rich and Rich
"Yes, I have been pretending to be ill. Now that you are my exclusive alchemist, I will naturally not hide anything from you. In fact, hiring you as my exclusive alchemist is not for myself. But for my husband, King Zhennan.”
Princess Zhennan said.
"For King Zhennan?"
Su Chen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"That's right, actually it's not me who's really sick, it's him."
Princess Zhennan said softly.
"King Zhennan is ill? Why is there no news?"
Su Chen looked surprised. King Zhennan was the pillar of the Yaohai Kingdom. If he got sick, it would be a big deal for the Yaohai Kingdom. But so far, there is no news from the outside world that King Zhennan is ill.
Princess Zhennan waved her hand gently and said, "We blocked the news and didn't let anyone know."
"Why?"
Su Chen asked.
"My lord, after all, he is a pillar of the Yaohai Kingdom, and many enemies are frightened by his name. If the news of his illness leaks out and lets those neighboring countries know, things may become worse. Trouble."
Princess Zhennan looked far into the distance.
"I see, but there is no airtight wall in the world. This kind of thing cannot be kept hidden forever."
Su Chen finally understood. To put it bluntly, King Zhennan was a totem and a god of war for the Yaohai Kingdom, always deterring enemies who might be eager to invade.
But if this totem, this god of war, falls, then all balance may be broken.
"It's true that I can't hide it for long, so I hired an alchemist on the pretext of being ill. In fact, I hired an alchemist for the prince."
Princess Zhennan looked at Su Chen with calm eyes and said.
As soon as the princess said this, Su Chen finally understood why Princess Zhennan pretended to be sick and hired a dedicated alchemist even though she was not sick.
It turned out that the alchemist was not hired for herself, but for King Zhennan. However, in order to prevent the news from leaking out, they could only claim to the public that he was the exclusive alchemist hired by Princess Zhennan.
"In that case, I have one more question."
Su Chen said.
"Ask. Since I choose to keep you, it means I trust you."
Princess Zhennan smiled.
"Why doesn't the princess hire those top alchemy experts from Yaohai City? In that case, wouldn't the hope of curing King Zhennan be much greater?"
Su Chen asked.
The smile on Princess Zhennan's face disappeared and she sighed and said: "That's because the prince's condition is very weird. It is impossible for ordinary alchemists to cure him, not even the top alchemists. We have given up. I just hope to delay the progression of the disease as much as possible.”
"It is precisely because of this that dedicated alchemists are required to conduct daily consultations. However, those top alchemists do not have this time. No one can ask them to sacrifice their time to study alchemy, not even the royal family."
Princess Zhennan added.
"I see."
Su Chen frowned slightly, "Is it some kind of weird disease?"
As an alchemist, Su Chen was naturally curious about King Zhennan's condition, and even more confused as to why Princess Zhennan would say in such a decisive tone that even the top alchemy experts could not cure King Zhennan.
You must know that since the news of King Zhennan's condition cannot leak out, it is impossible to invite those top alchemy experts to consult King Zhennan face to face. Since there is no face-to-face consultation, why are you so sure that they will not be able to cure it?
"You'll know this when you meet the prince in person tomorrow."
Princess Zhennan didn't explain this problem to Su Chen.
"Princess, please allow me to take my leave and come back tomorrow."
Su Chen stood up and said.
Princess Zhennan smiled and nodded: "You are now my exclusive alchemist. You can live in Zhennan Palace. The palace will have accommodation specially prepared for you. Of course, if you don't want to live here, go home. It’s okay, just come here once a day.”
With that said, Princess Zhennan took out a storage ring and handed it to Su Chen, "This is your reward, it's only for the first month, and there will be so much every month thereafter."
Su Chen took the storage ring, glanced at the space inside, and found a pile of spiritual stones neatly stacked inside. It was roughly estimated that there were at least one million spiritual stones.
Investor.
This is really a wealthy donor.
Su Chen sighed secretly in his heart.
Afterwards, Su Chen walked out of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion under the guidance of a maid from the Zhennan Princess.
At this time, many alchemists who participated in the Zhennan Palace's imperial doctor audition had not yet left, and they all gathered at the gate of Zhennan Palace. At this moment, they naturally saw Su Chen walking out of the palace gate.
"Is that the guy who was finally chosen by the princess?"
"Damn it, compared with this kid, the only difference is
