Prince Matthew's eyes flashed with a killing intent.
"Charles, you disappoint me!"
Prince Matthew's sharp gaze fixed on Charles. "You know very well that betrayal is what I loathe the most."
Charles's face was grim.
He had intended to use this opportunity to deal with Jiang Yi, but instead of scaring Jiang Yi, Prince Matthew had begun to suspect him.
"Godfather, I know you've always suspected Jiang Yi of being connected to the Eagle Kingdom's royal family. The reason you haven't executed Jiang Yi is that you believe only he can cure your illness!"
"I have invited Mr. Van Victor, a renowned Western medicine doctor from the Mei Kingdom. He is globally recognized as a titan of Western medicine, famous worldwide. He has already arrived in Ximeng State. With Mr. Victor personally attending to you, Godfather, your illness will surely be cured!"
Charles said to Prince Matthew.
Upon hearing that Charles had invited Victor, a hint of surprise appeared on Prince Matthew's face.
Victor was indeed very famous, known by virtually everyone in Europe.
"Mr. Victor is over eighty years old and stopped practicing medicine over a decade ago. When I sent people to ask him to treat me, he refused them all. How did you manage to persuade him?"
Prince Matthew asked Charles.
"Actually, to get Victor to treat you, Godfather, I began pleading with him three years ago. I begged him for three full years, but he never agreed. It wasn't until a month ago that I inadvertently offended his most beloved granddaughter, and she was kidnapped. I then risked my life to rescue her. To thank me, he decided to come out of retirement to treat you, Godfather!" Sudan Novel Network
Charles said, "Your illness, Godfather, has always been on my mind. This time, my efforts have paid off, and I have finally invited Mr. Victor!"
Hearing this, Prince Matthew was overjoyed.
"How confident is Mr. Victor in curing my illness?"
Prince Matthew asked Charles.
Charles, in order to have Prince Matthew execute Jiang Yi, said to Prince Matthew, "I have fully explained your condition to Mr. Victor. He said he has a hundred percent certainty of curing your illness and will only need half a month at most!"
In reality, Victor had not said anything of the sort.
"Excellent!"
Prince Matthew's face was filled with excitement.
"Godfather, Jiang Yi is a complete fraud. He claimed he could cure your illness, but several months have passed, and he still hasn't fully cured you."
"He must have been a member of the Eagle Kingdom's royal family long ago, a spy planted by them by your side."
Charles said.
Prince Matthew had already been suspicious of Jiang Yi but hadn't done anything to him because only Jiang Yi could cure his illness. But now, it was different. Charles had invited Victor, and Victor could cure Prince Matthew in half a month.
Between Jiang Yi and Victor, Prince Matthew would naturally choose Victor.
Seeing this, Jiang Yi couldn't help but sneer. Now that Prince Matthew had found Victor, who could completely cure him, he himself had lost his value to Prince Matthew.
However, Jiang Yi was not panicked. Jiang Yi knew very well that Western medicine absolutely could not cure Prince Matthew's illness.
"Jiang Yi, the evidence is conclusive. Do you have anything to say?"
Prince Matthew looked at Jiang Yi, his face filled with anger.
Prince Matthew no longer needed Jiang Yi, so he had no reservations. Executing Jiang Yi would be inconsequential.
"I have only one thing to say!"
Jiang Yi looked at Prince Matthew and said, "Besides me, no one can cure your illness, Prince Matthew. That Western doctor named Victor cannot possibly cure you. If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do!"
"Jiang Yi, Mr. Victor is a world-renowned doctor. He personally said he could cure Godfather. Your words are nothing but an attempt to save your own life. Let me tell you, it's useless. You are a spy for the Eagle Kingdom's royal family, and Godfather will not let you go!"
Charles said to Jiang Yi with a snort.
Jiang Yi ignored Charles.
Lord Baron Barre prepared to speak up for Jiang Yi, but Jiang Yi immediately gave Lord Baron Barre a look, signaling him not to speak on his behalf.
Lord Baron Barre understood Jiang Yi's meaning and abandoned the idea of speaking for him.
The reason Jiang Yi didn't want Lord Baron Barre to speak was that nothing he said would be useful, and Prince Matthew would also hold a grudge against Lord Baron Barre.
Jiang Yi was certain that Prince Matthew would not kill him before his illness was cured.
Prince Matthew was not a fool. If he killed Jiang Yi and Victor couldn't cure his illness, he would be completely finished. Therefore, Prince Matthew would not do anything to him!
"Guards, seize Jiang Yi!"
Prince Matthew called out.
"Yes!"
Two of Prince Matthew's bodyguards responded and walked directly towards Jiang Yi, grabbing his arms.
Jiang Yi did not resist, a cold smile appearing on his face.
"Take Jiang Yi to the dungeon and keep him under strict guard. He will be executed later!"
Prince Matthew said.
Upon hearing this, the two bodyguards led Jiang Yi away from the hall and towards a courtyard filled with wooden houses in the backyard.
The wooden houses in this courtyard were all used to detain prisoners, but they were now empty, with no prisoners inside.
"Go in!"
The two bodyguards brought Jiang Yi to the entrance of a wooden house.
"This is where prisoners are kept, and Jiang Yi is not a prisoner!"
A voice suddenly sounded from behind.
Turning around, they saw Tracy.
"Miss Tracy, these are Prince Matthew's orders, and we dare not disobey! Jiang Yi is skilled in combat. If we don't detain him and he escapes, we won't be able to account for it to Prince Matthew!"
One of the bodyguards said with difficulty.
"Jiang Yi won't run away. If he does, I will take full responsibility!"
Tracy said sternly.
"In that case, we won't lock Jiang Yi in the wooden house, but he cannot leave this courtyard by half a step. Otherwise, we will have to report to Prince Matthew!"
The two bodyguards said.
"With me keeping an eye on him, Jiang Yi won't leave this courtyard!"
Tracy said.
The two bodyguards nodded and then left the courtyard.
Outside the courtyard, many rattan-armored soldiers had already gathered. The entire courtyard was surrounded by rattan-armored soldiers, making it impossible for even a mouse to escape.
"You absolutely must not try to escape, or I'll be in trouble too!"
Tracy's gaze fell on Jiang Yi.
