Chapter 194 Let’s end it here
When Song Shiwei and Xiao Jingheng arrived at the Yongning Marquis' Mansion, Chen Jingmo had already arrived.
After taking Gu Tinglan's pulse, he sealed her acupoints with silver needles and then pulled out the jade hairpin that was inserted into her body.
Blood gushed out instantly, but soon stopped.
Gu Yucheng was horrified as he watched from the side. None of the doctors he invited dared to pull out the hairpin, for fear that the bleeding would not stop.
He was so nervous that sweat broke out on his forehead.
Seeing Chen Jingmo had treated the wound, he asked, "Doctor Chen, how is my sister?"
Chen Jingmo said: "Your sister is lucky. If the hairpin had been an inch off, it would have pierced her heart and even gods would have been unable to save her.
Although I saved her life, I could only heal her physical wounds, not the wounds in her heart.
I felt her pulse and found that she was depressed. I think she had suffered a great shock. Whether she can wake up depends on her own luck. "
He stood up and said, "I'll go make some medicine for her."
Gu Yucheng was in a daze. He sat on the edge of the bed holding Gu Tinglan's hand, his mind full of what Chen Jingmo had just said.
He couldn't help but start to worry and be afraid. What would happen if his sister never woke up again?
Why should she, the most innocent one, have to bear the consequences? Is this the punishment from God?
Song Shiwei walked over and looked at Gu Tinglan, who was lying on the bed with a pale face.
It's really heartbreaking to see such a bright and lovely girl become like this.
She asked Gu Yucheng: "Is the prince happy that our great revenge has been achieved?"
These words really touched Gu Yucheng's heart.
He has always been obsessed with revenge and believes that the meaning of his life is revenge.
But when he saw his sister lying here, he realized how wrong he was.
In fact, his sister had already compensated him for what Sun owed him.
But he repented too late.
Gu Yucheng closed his eyes and swallowed back all the tears in his eyes.
He said, “In fact, I wanted to kill her when I was little, and she always remembered it.
But even so, she still likes to pester me. I always feel guilty about her, and I have struggled back and forth between hatred and affection time and time again.
I once thought about making Sun disappear with dignity and hiding this hatred forever from her, but she still found out. "
He looked at his sister and continued, “She was injured because she was trying to save me.
The person Sun wanted to kill was me, but my sister stopped him for me."
Song Shiwei felt complicated when listening to his words, but who could she blame for this?
She sighed and said, "I believe Tinglan is a strong girl. She will definitely make it through. Don't worry too much."
"Thank you."
Gu Yucheng thanked him.
Seeing this, Song Shiwei stopped disturbing him. She turned around and walked out. From a distance, she saw Xiao Jingheng and Yongning Hou standing in the pavilion, wondering what they were talking about.
"Thank you, Lord, and Miss Song, for saving my daughter's life."
Marquis Yongning bowed and saluted towards Xiao Jingheng.
If it weren't for Chen Jingmo, his daughter might not have been saved.
But he felt guilty and didn't even dare to look at her.
Upon hearing that his daughter's life had been saved, he hid here and cried silently.
Xiao Jingheng came to comfort him. He said, "Miss Gu is a blessed woman. I believe she will be safe and sound after going through this. Your Majesty does not need to worry too much!"
Yongning Hou lowered his head in shame and asked, "Your Majesty, don't you have anything to ask?"
Xiao Jingheng said: "My Lord, are you going to talk about the Huo family's rebellion? I already know that everything was done by the Sun family.
They bribed Shen Xiuwen, who was delivering food and fodder to the Huo family army, and tampered with the food and fodder, causing the Huo family army to lose its ability to fight. "
He looked up at the bright moon in the sky and laughed sadly: "How ridiculous! So many lives have been lost for one's own selfish desires."
Marquis Yongning was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Xiao Jingheng could actually discover part of the truth, but that was not all.
The corners of his lips moved as he asked, "How did the prince know?"
Xiao Jingheng asked him: "Did the prince tell the Marquis that he was threatened by Shen Linchuan?
Shen Linchuan should have letters left by his father, which may record the truth of that year.
Shen Linchuan used this as a threat, which led to the incident of Wen Ruqing in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion."
Yongning Hou was really surprised. He said, "The prince never mentioned this to me."
Xiao Jingheng snorted: "For such a shameful thing, the fewer people who know about it, the better. The prince is not stupid enough to announce it to the world.
As for the truth, I also deduced it from the details."
Yongning Hou said: "Your Highness's speculation is correct. It was indeed the Sun family who framed the Huo family and attempted to replace them. The father and son of the Sun family did not die on the battlefield. I killed them!"
He will never forget the smug look on the Sun family's father and son's faces back then.
They stepped on the blood of innocent soldiers and tried to stand at the pinnacle of power and do whatever they want!
How could he let them have their way?
So he killed them himself and pretended that they had died in battle.
What’s hateful is that he was unable to expose their evil deeds. Instead, he allowed them to take credit for their so-called “war exploits” and made the Sun family heroes who died fighting for their country.
But in fact, there is an even more terrifying secret behind this matter.
"This king knows!"
Xiao Jingheng said: "What you did is also considered revenge for the Huo family, I should thank you.
As for the Sun family, once I get the evidence, I will punish them."
Yongning Hou looked at him with a complicated expression and asked: "Your Majesty, does His Majesty know what you are going to do?"
Xiao Jingheng looked back at him and said, "Father doesn't want me to investigate the Huo family. I want to wait until I find definite evidence before telling him."
His relationship with his father has been tense over the years, and it all stems from the Huo family.
Now that their relationship has eased, Xiao Jingheng wants to wait until he gets definite evidence before asking his father for the decision.
Yongning Hou sighed and said, "Your Majesty, have you ever thought about why His Majesty is unwilling to depose the Crown Prince?"
Xiao Jingheng's eyebrows moved, and he looked at him with a puzzled look and asked: "What does the Marquis mean by this? Do you know something about the inside story?"
The corners of Yongning Hou's lips moved. He looked at Xiao Jingheng and asked him a question: "If the prince was my Er Yucheng, what would you do?"
Xiao Jingheng frowned, feeling that there was another deeper meaning in what Yongning Hou said.
He clenched his hands uneasily and said, "It's not wrong for Prince Gu to avenge his mother!"
Because he also wanted to redress the grievances for the Huo family.
Marquis Yongning looked solemn. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end all he said was a helpless sigh.
He said: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince and the Queen are doomed, and the Sun family is completely finished.
The Huo family's revenge has been taken, so let's leave it at that!"
