Shen Wan Tang's older sister, who had been reborn, snatched her marriage arrangement and pushed the Prince of Ning's heir, who had become a monk, onto her. "The Royal Estate is prospero...
Chapter 673 Tang'er, I am willing to die for you!
Gu Qianhan was extremely agitated. He hadn't actually heard what Qi Shi was saying at all; his mind was completely occupied with Shen Wantang.
Losing her filled him with immense guilt.
A sense of panic and unease he had never felt before welled up inside him.
He found Qi's chatter annoying and waved to his men.
Soon, Qi's screams echoed from inside the house.
After beating Qi Shi into silence, Gu Qianhan stood up and said, "Let's go! Search the surrounding area again. I refuse to believe we won't find any clues!"
"yes!"
But just as he and his men reached the door, Obsidian, who had been searching outside, returned: "Young Master, we have discovered traces of Prince Xiao in the south of the city!"
Gu Qianhan's spirits lifted: "To the south of the city!"
South of the city.
This is a bustling area where ordinary people live. It is very noisy during the day and brightly lit at night.
The Dafeng Dynasty did not enforce a curfew, and people could do business at night. The southern part of the city was one of the busiest commercial areas.
Xiao Qingyuan had bought a house here in advance. The house wasn't big, but it was secluded.
Sure enough, it was already past midnight, and Gu Qianhan still hadn't found this place. It was perfectly safe here!
Xiao Qingyuan was quite pleased with himself. He had indeed not been reborn in vain. His cunning had improved, and he could easily manipulate Gu Qianhan.
only--
However, Shen Wantang was giving him a headache.
She started crying, making a scene, and even threatened to hang herself, acting like she wanted to die. If he got even a little closer, she would scream in terror, completely unlike her calm and collected self from her previous life.
"Tang'er, please stop crying. You have to believe me, the person who loves you the most in this world is me, not that damned Gu Qianhan. He's a beast in human form, he's ruthless!"
Shen Wantang ignored him and continued to cry, covering her face.
Anyway, she figured she could stall for as long as possible. She knew Xiao Qingyuan well enough to know he wouldn't do anything to her.
As for Gu Qianhan, he should be arriving soon. Given his control over the capital, finding her within twelve hours shouldn't be difficult.
But if Gu Qianhan can't find her, she has a way to escape—Xiao Qingyuan needs to sleep eventually, doesn't he?
Fortunately, the house he chose was in a busy area, and he didn't bring too many guards, otherwise she really wouldn't have been able to find any loopholes.
Seeing that Shen Wantang was still crying, Xiao Qingyuan knelt down on one knee in front of her: "Tang'er, I really didn't lie to you. We were husband and wife in our past life. We were very much in love. So in this life, I can't let you spend your whole life with Gu Qianhan. You should spend your whole life with me. We can have three or five more children and live a happy and harmonious life together."
Shen Wantang could no longer pretend to cry.
How many children does he want to have? Three or five? Isn't that going to kill her? Giving birth to even one is a brush with death!
The back of her head started throbbing violently again. She didn't know if it was because she was angry with Xiao Qingyuan or because Qi Shi had hit her too hard and caused her injury.
She reached out and touched it; under the light, her palm was covered in blood.
Now she couldn't pretend to cry anymore: "Xiao Qingyuan, I've lost so much blood, aren't you going to call a doctor for me? Are you trying to make me bleed to death?"
Xiao Qingyuan was also startled: "Why is it bleeding again? Didn't I just apply some herbal medicine to it and it was already healed?"
Speaking of this, Shen Wantang was furious.
Xiao Qingyuan was afraid of revealing their current location, so he refused to even call a doctor for her. He instead sent Mo Ji out to buy some hemostatic herbs, crushed them, and applied them to her wounds.
If she hadn't woken up in time and discovered that among the pile of so-called hemostatic herbs was a highly poisonous herb called bitter aconite, and had told Mo Ji to throw it away immediately, she probably would have been poisoned to death by Xiao Qingyuan while she was unconscious!
"Xiao Qingyuan, if you utter another word of nonsense, I'll die right here today! Go and fetch a doctor!"
"this……"
"What are you talking about? You keep saying you love me, is this how you love me? Just watching me die?"
"No, no, how could I watch you die, Tang'er? Your life is more important than mine. Even if I die, I won't let you die."
"Then you should call a doctor to treat my injuries!"
"Tang'er, don't get agitated. In my opinion, this injury isn't fatal. I suffered many injuries in my past life, and they were much more serious than yours. I've lived a perfectly fine life all this time, haven't I?"
Shen Wantang nearly fainted from anger. The reason he survived his serious injuries in his past life was because she healed him!
She should have known better than to treat him!
She should have been a widow much earlier in her past life!
The excruciating pain and blood loss caused waves of dizziness. Shen Wantang forced herself to say, "I'm a doctor, Xiao Qingyuan. I know more about injuries than you do! I'm dying!"
"No, no, you won't die, don't talk nonsense!"
As Xiao Qingyuan spoke, he tore a piece of cloth from his brocade robe and began to bandage the back of Shen Wantang's head.
Looking at the grime and dirt clinging to his brocade robe, Shen Wantang dared not let him wrap the cloth around her wound. It would have been better if he hadn't wrapped it; if he had, she feared she would die even faster!
She pushed him away forcefully: "Xiao Qingyuan, I'm begging you, okay? Didn't you say we were husband and wife in our past life? For the sake of our past marriage, please get me a doctor! I promise I won't say anything out of line. Or, if you're worried that he might pass on a message to Gu Qianhan, you can leave the doctor here and not let him leave, right?"
Xiao Qingyuan hesitated for a long time, and seeing that Shen Wantang's face was getting paler and paler, and that blood was even dripping from her hair, staining a large area of her clothes red, he also began to worry.
"Tang'er, just bear with it a little longer. Or, I'll have Moji go and buy you some more medicinal herbs. I think the herbs I applied before were quite effective."
"It's not working! I need a doctor!"
"Tang'er, actually I was thinking that after we get away from Gu Qianhan, I'll take you back to the Prince's Mansion and have the imperial physician treat you. What do you think?"
"I can't wait to see the imperial physician; I'll go see the King of Hell first!"
"Tang'er, don't worry, if you die, I will never live on. I will die with you! Tang'er, do you believe I will die for you?"
Shen Wantang was utterly speechless!
She believed it, she believed it so much!
He died for love in his previous two lives! It wouldn't be surprising if he died like that again!
The problem is, she doesn't want to die! Her life has only just begun!
She grabbed Xiao Qingyuan's collar and said through gritted teeth, "Fine, I don't need to call a doctor! Have Moji buy me some wound medicine. Remember, it has to be wound medicine, not some random herbs!"
The wound medicines are all finished products, which have been boiled at high temperatures to remove impurities, so the toxic side effects are very mild. Unlike unprocessed medicinal materials, which not only have to be ground on their own after being brought back, but may also turn her into a fool while treating her wounds.
