Chapter 245 Green Tea Selfish Cousin 14
Tan Yuan stood up and made way for him, with a barely perceptible smile on his lips.
"Find a piece of cotton cloth and stuff it in his mouth," he reminded gently, "in case his screams are too loud, the walls may have ears."
Soon, Yan Qizhao's unclear cries of pain were heard in the room.
His pale handsome face was covered in cold sweat from the pain, and his black hair was scattered and stuck to his face and back.
Even through the cotton cloth, the lips were bitten and the blood dyed the lips red, which had a kind of tragic beauty.
Only Mo Yu and Qing Yu were watching worriedly in the room. Tan Yuan was still not satisfied after seeing that the whole pot of wine was finished. He picked up the gauze and wiped Yan Qizhao's wound vigorously, then sprinkled the medicine on it.
Yan Qizhao suddenly opened his eyes, turned over and sat up from the bed, and his sharp eyes first stared at Xie Wanheng's face.
He still remembered that before he fell into a coma, Shen Weicang and Xie Wanheng appeared in his cabin together.
Seeing that Tan Yuan still had the gauze in his hand, he took it with a cold face, wrapped it around his chest and back, and said sarcastically: "The Imperial Master's healing skills are getting worse."
"Your Highness, you can get seriously injured a few more times. I don't mind having more opportunities to practice my skills."
Tan Yuan picked up the handkerchief beside him and wiped his hands, then threw it back into the basin: "Since His Highness has woken up, you should return to the palace to recuperate as soon as possible."
Yan Qizhao looked at Xie Wanheng again: "Is the girl injured? Where is she now?"
Xie Wanheng said coldly: "Your Highness should worry more about yourself. It is not appropriate to inquire about the news of a girl so casually."
"She is the destined one for this prince," Yan Qizhao said forcefully, "this prince will marry her as the Princess of Yi."
Xie Wanheng looked at Tan Yuan: "Is the poison in your brain?"
Tan Yuan watched Yan Qizhao get off the bed and reminded him calmly: "Your Highness."
Yan Qizhao ignored him, looked around, and found that his clothes were no longer wearable, so he ordered Qingyu: "Go find me a new set of clothes."
As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't help coughing, and then the coughing became more severe and he soon vomited blood.
"Your Highness!"
Qingyu and Moyu hurried forward to support Yan Qizhao who was falling to the ground, and looked at Tan Yuan without daring to move: "National Master, what's going on?"
"I have just reminded him that he still has silver needles inserted into his body. If he moves around, it will easily cause the blood to flow backwards," Tan Yuan said innocently.
"But he didn't listen to me."
Xie Wanheng shook his head helplessly: "I'm afraid the poison in your Highness' body has not been completely eliminated. He was still talking nonsense just now."
He said kindly, "You should take him back to the palace and ask the imperial physician to treat him."
"How can you move around freely in your current state?"
Qingyu saw that Tan Yuan and Xie Wanheng were targeting Yan Qizhao, and her face suddenly turned cold:
"Grandmaster, thank you, Second Young Master. His Highness is the Fourth Prince of the dynasty. You teased him like this. I hope that when I report this to His Majesty and His Majesty, you two can still joke so calmly."
Xie Wanheng shook his head in disappointment and sighed: "You can't even take a joke. How boring."
Mo Yu was furious. Who would joke about his life?
Tan Yuan walked over calmly and pulled out the silver needle from Yan Qizhao's body:
"Send him back to the palace. What he vomited just now was poisonous blood. He will be fine once he wakes up."
Watching the two men taking Yan Qizhao away, Tan Yuan's face turned cold again and he warned Xie Wanheng: "Cang Cang is only staying in Xie's house temporarily, so don't have those shameful thoughts."
Xie Wanheng sneered: "Who is shameless? Are you talking about yourself? What are you thinking of by sending that stupid snake to her? Don't think I don't know."
He raised his hand and pinched Tan Yuan's neck: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, get rid of that stupid snake as soon as possible, otherwise, I will kill it sooner or later!"
Tan Yuan lightly grasped his wrist, veins on his hand bulged, his face hardened: "You can try."
Their eyes met, and icicles burst out.
Shen Weicang returned to Chaoyun Garden, and Xuer came to greet him: "Miss, something happened to the Lan family."
She was a little surprised: "What happened? Was the snake bite last night serious?"
The two walked into the house, and Xuer said as they walked:
"More than a decade ago, she colluded with bandits and killed a concubine in the general's mansion. This incident spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital at noon today, and General Xie beat Lan."
Shen Weicang sat down at the table. He was not surprised that the Lan family could do such a thing. No wonder Tan Yuan said that something happened in the Xie Mansion.
This mansion is really lively, and there are good shows to watch every few days.
She poured herself a cup of tea and drank it contentedly: "What happened next?"
"There shouldn't be any sequel," Xu'er guessed. "She is a princess married to a foreign prince after all. All the papers posted were quickly burned by the people in the general's mansion."
She thought for a moment and continued, "However, General Xie confined her to Lanxin Garden, but she still refused to give up and sent someone to send a message to the young lady."
Shen Weicang looked at her: "Send me a message? What did you say?"
Xuer unfolded a note on the table: "She asked you to find a chance to meet her at Lanxin Garden tonight."
"Miss, do you want to go?"
Shen Weicang showed a gentle and compassionate smile: "Go, why not go, my aunt has something to ask of me, how can I, as her niece, stay out of it."
I originally thought that this was too light a lesson for Lan, but I didn't expect that she would commit suicide.
The opportunity presented itself to her, so it was no wonder that she had some bad thoughts.
Late at night, Shen Weicang walked out of Chaoyun Garden. The backyard of Xie Mansion was very quiet. She easily avoided the patrolling servants and soldiers and came to the outside of Lanxin Garden.
Liu'er took her over the courtyard wall. She ruffled her hair and clothes and gently pushed open the bedroom door.
Lan was sitting in front of the dressing table with her hair loose. She looked over when she heard the voice.
"Aunt," Shen Weicang called her timidly, "Aunt, are you okay?"
Lan's eyes were red and swollen, her lips were bloodless, and there were even obvious slap marks on her face. When she saw her come in, she immediately rushed over and cried, wanting to hug her.
Shen Weicang moved aside in disdain. Lan was a little dazed and accidentally tripped and fell to the ground, sobbing:
"Cang Cang, Auntie... Auntie is so ashamed to live..."
Shen Weicang bent down and helped her up: "Aunt, what happened?"
"How could my aunt know that someone had framed me and posted false rumours about me everywhere? Three people can make a tiger, and I have no way to defend myself!"
Lan cried miserably, and Shen Weicang asked anxiously, "Aunt, what should we do now?"
Hearing her voice, Lan was actually glad that Shen Weicang was so weak and naive.
A few days ago, I thought she was not greedy for fame and fortune, but now I realize that if she really is the kind of person who flatters the powerful and looks down on the weak, it would be difficult to control and exploit her.
She sighed, "Cang Cang, do you know who framed me?"
"Who is it?"
Shen Weicang guessed that Lan would probably put the blame on Xie Wanheng. After all, wasn't it this bastard whom she hated the most?
Although she was not sure whether this matter had anything to do with Xie Wanheng.
Sure enough, Lan sobbed:
"It's Xie Wanheng, the second son of the Xie family. He has always misunderstood that I was related to his aunt's death, so he is very hostile to me."
She cried for a long time before she told the real purpose of asking Shen Weicang to see her tonight:
"I have always wanted to resolve the misunderstanding with Wan Heng, but he never gave me a chance. Cang Cang, you are so considerate, can you help me persuade him?"
As she spoke, she took out the amulet that she had asked Shen Weicang to get from Zhenguo Temple:
"I also asked for this amulet for him. Can you take it to see Wan Heng and help me explain it?"
Shen Weicang took the amulet and hesitated: "But..."
