Chapter 1170 Close Friends and Father and Son (Part 2)

Okay, stop saying such hurtful things. Even though Jacob's gaze was hoping that Bankro could be quiet, Bankro still ignored Jacob's gaze and continued:

"Jacob, tell me the truth quickly. How do you feel now?"

If you know what's good for you, tell me the truth quickly. Bankro cast a sharp gaze with this implication at Jacob without hesitation.

Feeling Bankro's gaze, Jacob sighed with helplessness, and then whispered:

"I feel fine now."

"If I have to use a vivid metaphor to describe my current physical condition, I feel like I've just recovered from a serious illness."

"Just recovered from a serious illness..." Bankro sighed, "That means that not only is the efficacy of the potion real, but the side effects are also real..."

Originally, Bankro was still a little lucky. This potion might have no side effects, or the side effects are very small.

But now it seems that Bankro's little hope has been dashed.

He raised his only remaining right hand and rubbed his forehead. After a moment of silence, Bankro finally spoke to break the quiet atmosphere:

"It's terrible..."

As soon as Bankro finished speaking, the guard's announcement suddenly sounded outside the door:

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister! Su Cheng, the leader of the Knights of Michael, requests to enter!"

As soon as the guard's announcement fell, Jacob and Bankro raised their eyebrows at the same time.

Jacob, with a smile on his face, whispered softly:

"Is Cheng here..."

"Do you need me to step aside for a while?" Bankro, who was standing aside, asked Jacob very tactfully at this time.

Jacob and Su Cheng have a deep relationship and are as close as father and son - everyone knows this.

In order not to disturb the meeting of the "father and son" who have been separated for a long time, Bankro took the initiative to ask to step aside.

After thinking for a moment, Jacob nodded gently:

"Well, then I'll trouble you."

After saying "You're welcome" softly, Bankro took his crutches and limped out the door with the crutches.

When he opened the door and left the room, Bankro happened to bump into Su Cheng who was waiting outside the door to enter.

Seeing that the person coming out of Jacob's room was Bankro, Su Cheng hurriedly greeted Bankro.

And Bankro also waved his hand and said no need to greet, and chatted with Su Cheng briefly.

……

……

Jacob, lying on the bed, looked at Su Cheng, who was standing in front of the bed and looking at him with a complex expression, with a smile on his face.

"Cheng, long time no see." Jacob said softly first.

Jacob himself couldn't remember when he last met Su Cheng.

"Mr. Jacob..."

After learning that Jacob's physical condition had finally improved and he could visit him, Su Cheng immediately put down everything he was doing and rushed to Jacob's resting room.

Before visiting Jacob, Su Cheng had a lot to say to Jacob.

However, after he really stood in front of Jacob's bed and saw Jacob's pale face, Su Cheng felt like something was stuck in his throat. All the words he wanted to say to Jacob were accumulated in his stomach, and he couldn't spit out a word.

After a long time, Su Cheng finally spoke to Jacob and asked:

"Mr. Jacob. How did you become like this... What happened...?"

...

...

Su Cheng knew about the existence of the magic potion.

Three years ago, at the beginning of the year when the Holy Hilan Empire invaded the south and the Britannia Empire launched a counterattack, Jacob showed Su Cheng the magic potion at home and briefly explained how the magic potion came from.

Therefore, Jacob did not need to explain the origin of the magic potion to Su Cheng, and could directly explain the cause and effect of swallowing the magic potion.

Jacob used simple language to outline the whole process of swallowing the magic potion and the ineffectiveness of the magic potion.

After Jacob's voice fell, Su Cheng, with a look of astonishment on his face, exclaimed:

"Mr. Jacob! What are you doing!"

"You actually swallowed the medicine!"

And Jacob chuckled a few times with a little helplessness on his face:

"Cheng, you were not at the scene at that time, so you don't know how bad and dangerous the war situation was at that time."

"At that time, I had no choice but to swallow this magic potion."

"This country is everything to me. For the Britannia Empire, I am willing to do anything."

At this point, Jacob paused.

Then he turned his head and smiled at Su Cheng beside him:

"Don't worry about me, Cheng. My physical condition is actually better than I thought."

"I'm not so weak that I can't even live a normal life."

"I still have many years to live, and I can continue to work as the 'Prime Minister' for a few more years."

"So... don't show that expression, Cheng."

"I don't like to see others cry."

"I don't like people who are very important to me crying..."

"So-Cheng, don't show that expression..."

...

...

After an unknown amount of time, Su Cheng finally controlled his emotions.

Just when he wiped the tears from his face and wanted to say something to Jacob, the voice that Su Cheng least wanted to hear suddenly rang out from outside the door:

"Your Excellency the Captain! His Majesty's attendants are looking for you!"

Don't bother me - Su Cheng, who was not in a good mood right now, subconsciously wanted to shout this out the door.

He doesn't want to see anyone right now, he just wants to stay here.

But as soon as the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back.

Su Cheng held back his temper and asked the guard outside the door:

"Are His Majesty's attendants outside the door?"

"Yes!"

Su Cheng turned his head and asked Jacob softly:

"Is it convenient to let him in?"

Jacob nodded: "Let him come in."

After obtaining Jacob's permission, Su Cheng shouted out the door again:

"Let His Majesty's attendants come in!"

"yes!"

…

…

As soon as His Majesty's attendants entered the room, before they could salute Su Cheng and Jacob, Su Cheng took the lead and asked him bluntly:

"No courtesy. If you have anything, just tell me."

"Yes! His Majesty summons you to her study!"

--His Majesty? study?

Su Cheng was filled with doubts.

Ilsa actually summoned him to the study - there was only one possible reason: Ilsa had something to discuss with him.

Although he wanted to stay with Jacob in this room for a while longer, it was obvious that he no longer had the time to do such a thing.

After all, you can't ruin official business for your own personal affairs.

"Sorry, Mr. Jacob. I'll be right back." Su Cheng stood up and apologized to Jacob with an apologetic face.

"No need to apologize, Cheng. Go to His Majesty's study quickly. His Majesty may be waiting for you right now. You can come to my place anytime."

Jacob also understood Su Cheng very well when he had to leave.

If Su Cheng insists on staying here, Jacob will be very unhappy and drive Su Cheng to Ilsa's study.

After watching Su Cheng leave his room, Jacob closed his eyes and fell asleep soon.

The physical condition is not bad - Jacob's excuse to Bancroft and Su Cheng is actually a lie.

After just chatting with Bancro and Su Cheng for a while, Jacob felt that his body was already quite tired.

I was so tired that I just closed my eyes and fell asleep immediately.
