Chapter 205 Firelight
As for Chen Wan, he endured some discomfort, got on the carriage with difficulty, and headed back home.
The pain was already severe, and with the bumpy ride of the carriage, by the time Shen Wan returned to the Jingbei Palace, half of his remaining life was gone.
Seeing Shanhu helping Chen Wan into the mansion, Manager Zhou asked, "What happened to the Crown Princess?"
Shen Wan gritted his teeth and said, "I was chased by a dog and fell down."
Manager Zhou, “…”
coral,"……"
No princess would curse the prince like that.
Manager Zhou couldn't imagine the scene of the Crown Prince's wife being chased by a dog, but judging by her appearance, she had fallen quite badly. "I'll have someone call a doctor into the mansion..."
Shen Wan interrupted him, “No need, I can’t afford to lose this person.”
Afraid that Manager Zhou would continue to ask questions, Shen Wan quickly asked Shanhu to help her leave.
It was embarrassing to be chased by a dog and fall down, but if the Crown Princess didn't say anything, the doctor wouldn't know either.
Is it possible to do this without consulting a doctor?
But Manager Zhou was not worried. If the fall was really serious, the maid would call a doctor. Manager Zhou turned around to do something, but then he felt something was wrong.
Didn't the Crown Princess go to Prince Kang's Mansion with the Crown Prince to celebrate his birthday? How come they were chased by a dog, injured themselves in the fall, and the Crown Prince didn't even come back with them?
Shen Wan was helped all the way back to Zhaolanxuan. After entering the house, Shen Wan ordered, "Prepare hot water."
Her whole body was sticky, and God knew how uncomfortable she was.
The hot water was ready soon. Chen Wan didn't let Shanhu Yinchuan serve her. She undressed herself. There were countless red marks on her chest and arms. Chen Wan didn't know how many times she greeted Xie Jingyu.
There was a burning sensation somewhere, like someone had rubbed salt into a wound.
In her previous life, Chen Wan had never had a good impression of matters between men and women. She was drugged by Yuanyang Powder and had no memory of the entire process, but she remembered the pain in her body afterwards very clearly. She was in pain for two days even after applying the medicine. You can imagine how painful it was.
Saving Xie Jingyu today was more than ten times more painful than in the previous life, but Xie Jingyu still restrained himself. He did it twice, and she really couldn't bear it anymore. He still had a conscience and didn't ignore her life or death and go to the cold pond to soak in the remaining medicine. Otherwise, she would have died there today.
Chen Wan didn't let Chen Ping and Chen An tell Xie Jingyu, partly because she didn't want to experience this anymore. No matter how overwhelming the pleasure was, it couldn't compare to the pain that followed.
Chen Wan felt exhausted and almost fell asleep in the bathtub. He forced himself to get up, applied some medicine, and prepared to lie down and take a nap.
Just as she was leaning on the big welcoming pillow, Chun'er came in and said, "Princess, the old lady wants you to go to her place."
real.
Shen Wan almost uttered sweet words.
She's only hanging on by a thread, yet you still want to torture her.
Shen Wan didn't believe that the old lady had anything to ask her for. She must have heard that she was helped back, so she called her to ask what happened, relying on the old lady's status to take advantage of her.
Even if the sky falls today, it is not as important as her sleeping. As for the old lady who gave her the sterilization medicine as soon as she entered the door, Shen Wan didn't care whether she was happy or not.
"Go tell the old lady that I sprained my ankle and can't see her."
After giving Yinchuan his instructions, Chen Wan lay down.
When Xie Jingyu came back, Chen Wan was already asleep. Seeing that she looked very tired, Xie Jingyu wanted to ask her what she had done in the Huguo Temple to make herself so exhausted. But as soon as he saw Shanhu, Shanhu left quickly.
The Crown Prince's wife didn't allow her to tell the Crown Prince, but when the Crown Prince wanted to ask, she didn't have the courage to lie, so she could only deny the Crown Prince the chance to ask.
Being a maid is so hard.
Xie Jingyu stayed by the bed for a while, thinking about what happened in Huguo Temple. He vaguely felt that something had happened before he soaked in the cold pond, but it seemed like it was just a dream. He even forgot what happened in the dream.
Back in the study, Xie Jingyu called Chen An in and asked, "What did the Crown Princess do in Huguo Temple? Why are you so tired?"
Chen Wan rarely takes naps. In all the time she has been married to him, she has only taken a nap during the day once, when she visited the Lantern Festival.
Chen An, “…”
How should he answer this?
Chen An hesitated, and Xie Jingyu frowned, "Can't say?"
Chen An said with a stiff upper lip, "The Crown Prince's Consort got lost in the Huguo Temple and walked for a while longer..."
"Just that?" Xie Jingyu didn't believe it.
"And I was chased by a dog and fell down..."
God have mercy on me, he didn’t say that, it was an excuse the Crown Princess made up herself.
Xie Jingyu's brows were twisted into a "川" shape. "I asked you to protect the Crown Prince's Consort, and she was chased by a dog. What were you doing?"
...My subordinates are spreading rumors.
Chen An responded in his heart, and when his gaze met Xie Jingyu's, Chen An quickly knelt down and admitted his mistake for dereliction of duty.
Xie Jingyu didn't blame Chen An. He waved his hand and Chen An left.
Chen Wan slept until the sun set and was woken up by Shanhu. He had not eaten lunch yet and his body could not bear it if he did not eat dinner.
Chen Wan was really hungry. Shanhu helped her get up and washed her face. The kitchen brought in dinner, and Xie Jingyu also came back from the study.
Seeing him, Shen Wan felt uncomfortable at first. After all, they had just been frank with each other in front of Mu Tianxidi. God knows how heavy the shame of being caught was. Then she got angry.
She was listless, not much better after a good sleep, but this bastard looked like nothing had happened, no, he was full of energy!
It's really not a good idea. Half of my life depends on him.
As Xie Jingyu entered the room, he felt Chen Wan's glares flying towards him. She was secretly glaring at him in the morning, but now she has become bolder and dares to glare at him so blatantly.
Xie Jingyu frowned in displeasure, and just as he was about to speak, Shen Wan had already turned his gaze away from him.
A certain gentleman suddenly became even more unhappy.
The two sat down to have dinner, and neither of them spoke.
The more Chen Wan thought about it, the angrier she became. She couldn't help but be angry. In her previous life, she was the one who became weak after being poisoned by an aphrodisiac. In this life, she was the one who became weak after giving someone the antidote.
She stuffed a fish ball into her mouth and chewed it fiercely, as if what she was biting was not a fish ball but some man's flesh.
Chewing and chewing.
Sudden.
A huge pain spread in my mouth and tears burst out instantly.
Shen Wan raised her hand to cover her cheek, and Xie Jingyu saw it and asked, "What's wrong?"
Shen Wan wanted to bite him to death.
It was his fault that he bit himself. Xie Jingyu was helpless and asked Shanhu to pour a cup of tea for Shen Wan. Shen Wan rinsed the blood from his mouth and thought about the incident a few days ago when he made Xie Jingyu vomit blood in anger. Now when he thought about it, he no longer felt guilty.
After biting himself, Shen Wan lost his appetite and sat down on the small couch.
After Xie Jingyu finished his dinner, he returned to his study.
Chen Wan slept all afternoon, and even when it was time to go to bed, he didn't feel sleepy at all. He sat on the small couch in a daze.
Shanhu asked, "Would the Crown Princess like to have some midnight snack?"
Shen Wan didn't eat lunch and only ate half of it at night, so he was really hungry at this moment.
Shen Wan said, “Ask the small kitchen to make some and send it over.”
Yinchuan went out to give instructions, then ran back in and said, "Princess, there's a fire in someone's house in Kyoto. There's so much anger..."
When Shen Wan went out, he saw flames rising into the sky not far away from the southwest of Jingbei Palace.
That direction and distance——
It is Prince Kang’s Palace.
Today is the birthday of Concubine Dowager Kang, how could such a fire happen?
Looking at the flames rising into the sky, Shen Wan's heart moved. Could it be that Xie Jingyu did this?
Xie Jingyu is not someone to be trifled with. He was drugged in Prince Kang's Mansion, and Prince Kang's Mansion must have been involved. The victim almost exploded to death. With Xie Jingyu's temper, how could he not seek revenge?
Chen Wan was curious about who had the guts to give Xie Jingyu such a drug. With Xie Jingyu's status, there must be many ladies from noble families who want to marry him, but Xie Jingyu has already married her. Their marriage was granted by the imperial decree. Xie Jingyu even protected her in front of the emperor. Which lady from noble families would be so ignorant as to want to interfere between them?
Besides, her father holds military power and is deeply trusted by the emperor. She has the Yun family behind her, and Old Tutor Lin treats her like his own granddaughter. Apart from the emperor's princess, no other lady in Kyoto can surpass her in power. Even if the matter is settled, if she disagrees, she can only be a concubine.
Would anyone really do such a stupid thing?
Thinking of Concubine Wen, Shen Wan stopped talking. There is no shortage of blindly confident people in the world.
Moreover, she vaguely felt that this matter was closely related to the third prince of North Vietnam.
It was obvious that the Third Prince of Beiyue came here for Xie Jingyu, but after the Emperor's birthday banquet, the Third Prince of Beiyue did not take any action, and then what happened today happened.
