Chapter 91 Grievances
Shen Yuan walked over quickly and threw herself into Gu Huailing's arms, "Husband, why didn't you tell me?"
Gu Huailing held Shen Yuan in his arms and patted her on the back gently, his brows and eyes gentle and his tone calm, "It's just a small matter, Madam, don't worry."
Shen Yuan looked up at him and suddenly understood from his eyes.
Gu Huailing was putting himself in the game, but she had no idea why he did this.
Chen Yuan stared at him without blinking, and Gu Huailing nodded to her almost imperceptibly.
Footsteps were heard in the prison corridor, and a secret guard immediately appeared in front of Shen Yuan, "Madam, please follow me."
The person who came was the Fourth Prince.
He looked at Gu Huailing sitting in prison, and a secret pleasure suddenly rose on his face.
"How have you been these days, Prime Minister?" Li Ji asked with a smile.
Gu Huailing glanced at him indifferently, and this glance made Li Ji feel as if all his limbs were fixed, as if an invisible mountain was pressing on his back.
"The Fourth Prince shouldn't be here."
"Although the emperor is furious about your assassination of Young Prince Qi, the young prince is fine. If someone can plead for you in front of the emperor, you will definitely get through this safely."
Li Ji looked at Gu Huailing. He wanted to win over Gu Huailing but he had no chance.
Now the time is ripe.
"I have always admired you, sir, and I have a characteristic of protecting my people. As long as they are my people, I will definitely protect them."
"What do you think, my Lord?"
Gu Huailing was so foolish by Li Ji that he didn't want to talk.
No wonder the prince has been missing for many years and the emperor has not appointed Li Ji as the crown prince.
It is really of no use.
Gu Huailing withdrew his gaze from him, "So Your Highness also knows that Young Prince Qi is fine."
Li Ji frowned, "What do you mean?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the smell of kerosene wafted in, and in the distance, flames broke out from the stone wall and spread without warning.
The narrow passage was instantly enveloped by heat waves.
On fire.
Li Ji was horrified.
"Someone, take the Fourth Prince away!" Gu Huailing ordered in a deep voice.
He walked quickly into the darkness.
Sanjiu immediately appeared and ran out, dragging the Fourth Prince.
The sea of fire was raging, and Li Ji was so scared that he hugged Sanjiu tightly.
A trace of annoyance flashed across Sanjiu's dull face.
He raised his hand and knocked him unconscious.
There was a fire. When Shen Yuan saw the flames, he ran forward without thinking.
At the same time, Gu Huailing walked towards the fire.
The raging fire in the sky served as his backdrop.
"Husband." Chen Yuan's nervous heart relaxed instantly.
"Go out first." Gu Huailing's voice remained calm.
Gu Huailing picked up Shen Yuan and strode out.
The secret guards were all putting out the fire, and now the fire was much smaller.
Gu Huailing carried Shen Yuan into the carriage and looked at her gently, "Madam, please go back home first. There are some things that have not been dealt with yet."
Shen Yuan nodded.
Gu Huailing's figure disappeared into the darkness.
It was already dawn when Gu Huailing returned home, and there was still a trace of blood on his body.
Chen Yuan waited all night, and only when Gu Huailing returned safely did she feel relieved.
"Why don't you go to bed?" The man took off his cloak and walked over.
Chen Yuan stood up and immediately asked someone to get hot water.
"The kitchenette is always prepared with food and can be used after the master has bathed."
Chen Yuan said softly without asking any other questions.
When Gu Huailing came out, covered in sweat, the table was already filled with light meals.
Shen Yuan served him a bowl of porridge.
Gu Huailing looked at her, "When Ma Chang was assassinated, I suspected that spies from other countries had infiltrated the Jin Dynasty."
Shen Yuan understood immediately.
She took a deep breath and interrupted Gu Huailing, "So, you've put yourself in danger by jumping into this game? You want the person behind the scenes to strike again, so you set an ambush and catch them in the act."
She looked at him, thinking about her worries over the past few days, and suddenly felt stupid.
"I know you are a master strategist, but I don't have the brains to worry about you. Wouldn't it be stupid to ask people about your whereabouts?"
Chen Yuan raised her eyes, and her eyes gradually turned red.
When she first met Gu Huailing in the prison, Shen Yuan felt nervous and worried.
Now that he has returned safely, the grievance he felt has overflowed like a lake.
"Madam, I." Gu Huailing wanted to explain, but didn't know where to start.
Chen Yuan forced back her tears and turned to walk towards the inner room.
Gu Huailing looked at her trembling shoulders, quickly chased after her, and hugged her from behind.
Chen Yuan's body stiffened inch by inch. Gu Huailing whispered in her ear, "It's my fault for making Madam worry."
"I won't do that anymore. I promised Madam that no matter what happens, I will tell her in advance, okay?"
Gu Huailing coaxed her softly, giving all his patience to Chen Yuan.
Shen Yuan bit her lip and said nothing.
The two of them just stayed there quietly, Chen Yuan didn't struggle, and Gu Huailing didn't let go.
There was a knock on the door.
"Madam, there's movement in Ronghuiyuan. Please go and take a look."
"What's the matter?" Gu Huailing's deep and cold voice sounded.
Taozi shuddered violently.
She still said with a stiff upper lip, "The Marquis's wife is about to faint from crying. My Lord, you and the Madam should go and see her."
Gu Huailing originally wanted to go alone, but the next second Chen Yuan broke free from his arms and walked out.
Before entering Ronghui Courtyard, I heard the voice of the Marquis' wife crying and shouting.
Chen Yuan frowned immediately, "Why is there no one to persuade her? It's so embarrassing to cry and make a fuss."
No one in the courtyard dared to say a word.
Chen Yuan and Gu Huailing went in one after the other.
Gu Jingchu, who had been making a lot of noise in the house, suddenly became quiet.
He looked at Shen Yuan and ran towards her, "Yuan'er, I finally see you. They are all bad people. They insisted on stopping me from seeing you."
Gu Huailing stood in front of Shen Yuan, and Gu Jingchu immediately frowned.
He raised his hand and pushed Gu Huailing hard, "Who are you? Why are you blocking my Yuan'er, you bad guy!"
As soon as these words came out, a chill immediately spread across Shen Yuan's spine.
She glanced at Gu Huailing, who also looked embarrassed.
"What's going on?" Shen Yuan turned his gaze to Old Chen.
"The Second Young Master has a blood clot on the back of his head, which has caused his memory to become confused, causing him to forget some people and events, and also impaired his intelligence."
how so?
Shen Yuan's face turned pale.
She heard herself say with difficulty, "Is there any way to recover?"
Elder Chen shook his head. "We can only recover after the blood clot slowly dissipates."
The Marquis's wife started crying again.
Gu Jingchu clenched his fists and suddenly punched Gu Huailing, "Bad guy! You're blocking my Yuan'er!"
Gu Huailing did not hide.
Madam Hou knelt down in front of Shen Yuan with a thud, crying, "It was all my fault before. I always targeted you and made things difficult for you. I was wrong."
She grabbed the hem of Shen Yuan's skirt and cried heartbreakingly, "I don't care why Chu'er became like this. I only ask you for one thing, can you stay with Chu'er?"
"Mr. Chen said that he only knows you now. If you can stay with him, there might be a chance of recovery."
