Chapter 710 Seeking Death
Rong Yue didn't want to keep Gu Helian hanging. The time they had spent together was enough for him to know how sincere Gu Helian was towards her over the years.
She has experienced the most sinister human hearts and met the most disgusting exes. It is impossible for Rong Yue to remain unmoved by a man who has waited for her wholeheartedly for so many years and who has always protected her even when he has some resentment towards her.
But she did have some connection with the previous royal family. Although King Cheng had been executed, it had been less than a year since she divorced him, and the previous incident became known to everyone again.
Gu Helian was adopted by the Rong family in the past. Many people in Beijing still remember that they were childhood sweethearts. Gu Helian also played a big role in Xie Tianyu's downfall. If she were to be with Gu Helian at this time, it was inevitable that someone would gossip that she and Gu Helian had been having an affair and say some dirty things.
Rong Yue didn't care what others said about her. She just wanted to live a good life with Gu Helian in the future. However, she didn't want Tang Ning to be talked about because of her, saying that the future queen had a fickle and shameless aunt.
Tang Ning frowned: "Aunt, you don't have to be patient for me..."
"It's not that I'm being tolerant, it's just that this isn't the right time." Rong Yue said softly, "It's not entirely for you. And don't look at how flustered Gu Helian was just now, but he understands it in his heart. Otherwise, do you think he can be so easy to talk to with his personality?"
That person is like a piece of malt candy, very clingy and annoying.
If he hadn't known in his heart that this was not the right time to talk about their affairs, he would have started a quarrel long ago instead of just saying a few sour words with a resentful look.
Rong Yue took Tang Ning's hand and patted it gently: "Okay, don't worry about our affairs. Gu Helian and I know our limits. But it's Yu Chang's side."
"Your Aunt Jun, Ah Yue and I have all tried to persuade her, but she won't listen at all. Plus, with what's going on with the He family, I'm a little worried about her."
Tang Ning pursed her lips: "I'll go in and see her."
…
Rong House was originally the place that Gu Helian prepared for Rong Yue. Although the money for buying the house was paid by Rong Yue herself, Gu Helian also subsidized it a lot at the beginning, and also revealed all his selfish feelings for Rong Yue in this house. Even the courtyard of the guest room was exquisite and elegant.
In the room, Zhou Yuchang was lying on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, with a layer of white cloth wrapped around her neck.
Qian Qiyue sat on the edge of the bed, looking at her and whispering something, but Zhou Yuchang on the bed didn't respond at all.
When footsteps approached the door, Qian Qiyue subconsciously turned around. Tang Ning saw at a glance that her eyes were red because of staying up too long. She was always energetic and full of vitality, more lively than anyone else, but at this time Qian Qiyue's eyes were full of bloodshot, and her whole body revealed a sense of fatigue.
"Tang Ning?"
Seeing the newcomer, Qian Qiyue stood up in surprise: "You're here?"
When Tang Ning stepped forward to pull Qian Qiyue, she felt her palms were a little cold. She frowned and said, "How long have you not had a good rest?"
Qian Qiyue's voice was a little hoarse: "I'm taking a break..."
"I don't think you're resting. Look at how ugly your face is."
Qian Qiyue has practiced martial arts for many years and has a strong body. Her hands and feet used to be warm in the winter and even hotter in the summer. Every time someone approached her, it felt like a stove, but now, her hands felt like ice.
Her little face looked thinner, as if she had been ill, and her eyes were dark blue.
Tang Ning frowned and said, "If you want to take care of Sister Zhou, you have to take care of yourself first."
Qian Qiyue saw Tang Ning rubbing her hands and scolding her softly. Her eyes couldn't help but feel hot. She pursed her dry lips and whispered "I'm fine". Then she said in a low voice: "You try to persuade Yu Chang."
Tang Ning is smarter and more eloquent than her, she will definitely be able to comfort Zhou Yuchang.
Tang Ning frowned when he heard her words and looked behind her, and saw Zhou Yuchang lying straight on the bed.
It had only been ten days since they last saw each other, but Zhou Yuchang had lost a lot of weight. A thick white cloth was wrapped around her neck, and her face was extremely pale. The faint traces of bright red blood seeping from the cloth made Tang Ning understand why the wife of Marquis Wenxin fainted from anger and fright when she saw her trying to commit suicide.
Ordinary women who wanted to commit suicide would at most hang themselves, but she just slit her throat, and she really wanted to die.
No wonder Qian Qiyue stayed with her without daring to leave.
Tang Ning walked closer and looked at Zhou Yuchang, whose eyes were dull, as if nothing could move her. Even when she walked to the bedside, she still had no reaction. She was like a puppet, completely unable to hear the sounds outside.
"Sister Zhou."
The person on the bed didn't move.
Qian Qiyue said: "Yuchang, Tang Ning is here to see you."
Zhou Yuchang still didn't respond.
Qian Qiyue squatted beside her: "Can you take a look at her? Tang Ning rarely gets to leave the palace now, you can talk to her..."
Still no response from the bed.
Zhou Yuchang just stared at the top of her head, without a trace of emotion in her eyes. She refused to speak, refused to respond, refused everyone's care and comfort, and her whole body was filled with a sense of death.
Tang Ning looked at Qian Qiyue squatting beside the bed and coaxing the person on the bed in a low voice. Seeing her red eyes and even her voice choked with sobs, she frowned and suddenly became angry. She stepped forward and pulled Qian Qiyue up who was still persuading her.
"Tang Ning?"
Qian Qiyue's eyes were red with confusion.
Tang Ning didn't say anything, but just pulled her away from the bed, then took two steps forward, leaned over, grabbed Zhou Yuchang's hand, and pulled her up from the bed with a sudden force.
"Tang Ning!" Qian Qiyue was stunned.
Rong Yue, who followed in, also hurried forward, but saw that Tang Ning ignored them.
She simply dragged Zhou Yuchang off the bed forcefully. When she staggered to the ground, she turned to the maid standing beside her and said, "Ming Cui, go get some clothes for your wife."
Ming Cui was in a panic: "Princess..."
"Yuejian, you go!"
Seeing Mingcui's helpless look, Tang Ning looked directly at Yuejian.
Yue Jian turned around and went into the inner room without asking why, but came out a moment later holding a dress and a cloak.
"Put it on."
Tang Ning said to Zhou Yuchang.
Zhou Yuchang looked at her blankly without saying a word.
Tang Ning frowned tightly and said to Yue Jian, "Put her clothes on."
Yuejian walked forward with the clothes and put them directly on Zhou Yuchang. Zhou Yuchang's expression, which had been wooden, finally changed. Her voice was weak and hoarse, and she pushed Yuejian away with resistance.
"What are you doing? Go away, don't touch me..."
Ming Cui was also startled: "Princess Xiangning, what are you doing? Please let my girl go..."
Tang Ning grabbed Ming Cui who was about to rush forward and said to Yue Jian, "Put it on her!"
