Chapter 108: Fighting in the Dark
Shen Tianao seemed to have telepathy with Gu Qingcheng, he was just passing by Gu Tingcheng's door just now, but the pain in his chest made him feel relieved to walk in and take a look, but he didn't expect to encounter such a scene. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Steward Chen looked at Shen Tianao's attention to Gu Qingcheng, and he secretly exclaimed, "It's over." ā
Shen Tianao carried Gu Qingcheng into the original room, he put her on the soft couch, opened the placket around her neck slightly, and before the doctor stepped into the house, he hurriedly said, "Come over and see the princess." ā
The doctor touched his pulse, saw a strangled mark on Gu Tingcheng's neck, and vaguely guessed what had just happened, he said with a worried face: "The princess's body is already weak, and with such a toss, it is not easy to recuperate, and the child in her womb may not be able to be saved." ā
After listening to the doctor's words, Shen Tianao's face became very ugly, he glared at Steward Chen, and then looked at the attendants involved in this murder, he said to the doctor in a low voice: "No matter what medicine is used, save the princess's life first, and talk about the child's affairs later." ā
The doctor hurriedly prescribed the prescription, and handed the prescription to the maid beside him, and he left the room in a hurry, afraid that the king of Anqing would punish him for his poor medical skills.
Shen Tianao looked at Gu Qingcheng's face softened slightly, he walked up to the attendants, pointed at them expressionlessly and said, "You actually dare to murder the princess, fortunately the princess is alive, otherwise your death a hundred times will not be enough to calm the anger in my heart." ā
The attendants saw that he was angry, how dare they say more, trembling and kneeling on the ground to listen to the fate of King Anqing, Shen Tianao glanced at them and said: "You don't need to stay in the mansion in the future, but for the sake of you following me for so long, spare your lives." ā
"Thank you, thank you for the grace of not killing." The guards buckled their heads and thanked, "They didn't expect the consequences to be so serious, they thought that according to Steward Chen, it was for the good of the prince, but they didn't expect that not only did they not kill the princess, but they also provoked the prince to be furious, but they felt very lucky to have their lives back."
Steward Chen took the initiative to kneel on the ground and said, "Lord Wang, if you want to punish me, you should punish me, it was the old slave who made them do this, and I am the most culprit." ā
Shen Tianao glanced at Steward Chen, he pointed at him and said, "You have been loyal to me for so many years, I will not punish you this time, but next time it will not be so lucky, Steward Chen, you have to remember that you must never approach Gu Qingcheng in the future, she is not someone you can touch." ā
Steward Chen sneered, and he nodded in response: "How dare I disobey the prince's orders, according to the prince's words." ā
In his eyes, the prince went crazy for this woman, and now it is impossible to even get rid of her, he no longer knows how to treat Gu Qingcheng and how to face the prince.
"Woe to the water." Steward Chen spat out this word lightly as he walked out of the door.
It wasn't until midnight that Gu Qingcheng woke up from a coma, and when she opened her eyes, she saw that Shen Tianao was standing by the bed, his expression was full of exhaustion, but his eyes had been staring at her nervously.
"Allure, you're awake." Shen Tianao's voice was a little hoarse.
"Lord Wang?" Gu Qingcheng rubbed her eyes, looked at the dim candlelight in the room, thinking that she was sleeping, there was a slight pain in her neck, and her hand touched the strangled scar on her neck. ā
She suddenly remembered what happened in the afternoon, those attendants rushed over and wanted to kill her, and then it was Shen Tianao who arrived in time to save her, what an irony, she didn't expect that the person who saved her in the end was actually him.
Gu Qingcheng showed a pale smile and said, "Lord Wang, you don't have to be like this to me, it's better for me to be killed by them." ā
Shen Tianao held her hand like a treasure and said: "Allure, how can I be willing to kill you, those who tried to kill you, I have already driven them out of the mansion, as for Steward Chen, he has been by my side for so many years, this time I reprimanded him, you can rest assured that Steward Chen will not come close to you in the future." ā
His words floated towards Gu Qingcheng like a guarantee, she didn't feel relieved by these words, but became even more melancholy, she laughed and said: "Lord Wang, what if you give me such a guarantee, do you know my despair at that moment?" ā
Gu Tingcheng didn't want to continue to entangle with him, the two of them were like two red threads that were entangled, the tighter they were entangled, the more entanglements the two of them became, and she was completely dead to Shen Tianao, but he saved her, which made her feel complicated.
"I'll have more to face next, but I'll definitely protect you." Shen Tianao said this sentence to her firmly, "The current situation can't be stopped, only to keep going." ā
Gu Qingcheng moved his lips and said in an almost faint voice: "What the prince has done has really embarrassed the concubine, and I really can't congratulate the prince." ā
Shen Tianao looked at her face to face, he didn't continue to talk to her, just took off his coat and sat on the bed, he hugged Gu Qingcheng's slender shoulder, as if he felt alive again.
As Shen Tianao expected, after he got the jade seal, the relationship between the vassal kings became more and more stiff, and everyone coveted the jade seal in his hand.
King Huai was the first to propose, "Since all the vassal kings are here, let's talk about who should succeed to the throne." ā
King Jin pretended to say: "King Huai, you are the oldest of us, and I think you are the most qualified to take on the responsibility of the emperor." ā
When King Huai heard this, he was complacent, and he said proudly: "I don't know what you think, whether you support me to succeed as emperor." ā
King Heng didn't say anything, but King Zhenbei argued: "If you want to say that the first merit this time must be King Anqing, if there is no him to give advice, do you think this jade seal can be easily obtained?" ā
Shen Tianao glanced at the other three vassal kings, and he said with a low smile to the king of Zhenbei: "If you want to say that you can get the jade seal this time, everyone has contributed a lot, although I am not as old as the vassal kings, but as the king of Zhenbei said, Shen does have the confidence to govern the country, if you don't dislike it, then it is better to hand it over to the king of Beichen, and after I successfully inherit the throne, I will definitely not treat you princes badly." ā
He said it in an orderly manner, and the rest of the vassal kings couldn't find an excuse to refute him, just when the situation was deadlocked, the king of Zhenbei suddenly added: "King Anqing has the most soldiers, horses and territories among all the vassal kings, and you have also seen his strength, so I can hand over Beichen to him to manage, I think you can rest assured." ā
Seeing that the King of Zhenbei supported Shen Tianao so much, it was even more difficult for them to open their mouths to refute, so they laughed a few times and dealt with it casually. (To be continued.) )
