Chapter 307 Gu Qianhan, the Great Philanthropist
Wen Sheng dared not delay and quickly went inside to report.
In no time, Xiao Qingyuan was carried back to the Prince's Mansion and into his courtyard.
A crowd of people surrounded the bed.
Besides Shen Wantang, who was summoned to examine his pulse, there were also Prince Ning and Princess Ning, as well as a group of maids and nannies.
The princess asked anxiously, "Tang'er, how is Yuan'er? How could he have gotten so badly injured after just one trip out? Is it serious?"
Shen Wantang withdrew her hand from taking his pulse: "Mother, don't worry, the young master is fine, he just suffered some minor injuries."
"Minor injuries? Then why isn't he awake yet?"
Shen Wantang was helpless. Xiao Qingyuan insisted on pretending to faint. What could she do?
She could tell from his pulse that he wasn't actually unconscious, and his injuries were just superficial. She guessed he was just pretending to faint because he couldn't get into the palace.
Xiao Qingyuan knew in his heart that Princess Ning loved him to the bone. No matter how angry she was, she would forgive him for everything he had done as long as she saw him faint.
As a mother, Princess Ning had only one very basic request—that her son live well; everything else was negotiable.
Shen Wantang glanced at Xiao Qingyuan, who was pretending to be asleep, and a thought struck her: "Mother, the young master's fainting may be due to poor blood circulation. If I stick a few needles into his head, his blood circulation will improve, and he should wake up. What do you think..."
Princess Ning said without hesitation, "Then what are we waiting for? Quickly, give him acupuncture! Give him as many needles as possible!"
Startled, Xiao Qingyuan on the bed opened his eyes quickly: "Mother, Father..."
Princess Ning was overjoyed: "He's awake! He's awake! Yuan'er is awake! Tang'er is indeed a divine physician!"
Shen Wantang: "..."
Prince Ning also breathed a sigh of relief, but he said coldly, "Now that he's awake, throw him out immediately! Giving a maid's mother a funeral is a disgrace! Don't ever come back, Yancheng!"
A guard stepped forward: "Your Highness, would you like to leave on your own, or shall I escort you?"
Xiao Qingyuan's face turned pale, but he had no choice but to back down. In this cold weather, if he were really kicked out, he would probably freeze to death outside.
Moreover, Huayi is waiting for him to rescue her; he needs manpower.
"Father, Mother, your son knows he was wrong."
Xiao Qingyuan sat up. "But my son didn't go to Huayi's mother's funeral. Her mother is still alive."
"Alive?"
Princess Ning asked in surprise, "Then her family sent word that her mother had passed away? Is it possible to say something like that so casually?"
Xiao Qingyuan couldn't help but grit his teeth: "It's all Gu Qianhan's doing. He took a fancy to Huayi and deliberately sent someone to the Prince's Mansion to spread false information in order to possess her and trick Huayi into going back!"
Princess Ning was even more surprised: "Gu Qianhan? It's him again?"
"He just doesn't like me and is deliberately getting back at me! I'm not letting this go!"
"So, you mean Huayi didn't come back with you because Gu Qianhan has already taken her?"
Xiao Qingyuan's face was very unpleasant. He felt very ashamed, but he had no choice but to nod: "He did indeed steal the person away."
Princess Ning and Prince Ning exchanged a glance, both seeing an undisguised joy in each other's eyes.
The second young master of the Gu family is such a good person!
One minute they're snatching Chu Yanluo, the next they're snatching Huayi. They were originally thinking of getting rid of Huayi, the maid, as soon as possible to prevent her from corrupting their son. But they never expected that they wouldn't even need to lift a finger!
That's great! The troublesome painting has been taken away by someone else, and the couple won't have to fall out with their son over a maid. How wonderful!
The others in the room were both surprised and delighted. What kind of kind-hearted person was Second Young Master Gu? Why did he always snatch away any troublesome woman who appeared in their manor?
The prince also said that Gu Qianhan did this to get revenge on him, but this is not revenge at all, it is clearly repaying a debt of gratitude!
Only Shen Wantang frowned slightly. She felt that this matter was very strange. What exactly was Gu Qianhan trying to do?
The massacre of the Gu family is the real sword hanging over his head. Instead of trying to stop it, he keeps stealing Xiao Qingyuan's women. This is too strange!
However, given Gu Qianhan's personality, he would never do anything in vain. He is very purposeful and would not act aimlessly.
Could it be that he wanted to use Xiao Qingyuan to create conflict, establish himself as a brainless playboy, and thus make the emperor and the crown prince lower their guard against him?
After thinking it over and over, Shen Wantang felt that this was the only possibility; she couldn't think of any other reason.
Xiao Qingyuan was still accusing Gu Qianhan: "Mother, look at my face, this is what that bastard Gu Qianhan did! And my back, he also hurt me when he threw me! He even stepped on my chest, almost suffocating me!"
"I could have beaten him, but he was too shameless. Besides his servant, he also brought four highly skilled guards with him when he went out!"
"I have never suffered such humiliation in my entire life! Mother, I will avenge you! I also want guards, I want ten of them!"
Princess Ning was naturally heartbroken to see her son beaten like this, but she wasn't stupid; how could she not know what her son wanted ten guards for?
Seeking revenge on Gu Qianhan is one thing, but more importantly, he probably wants to take back Huayi.
Princess Ning said calmly, "Yuan'er, you've fainted, so your injuries must be quite serious. There's no rush for revenge; let's talk about it after you've recovered!"
"How can revenge not be urgent? It's urgent! My injuries are nothing to worry about. I'm going to take my guards to the Duke's mansion right now and cause a huge uproar!"
Prince Ning spoke coldly: "All you do is act impulsively all day long! Is the Duke's mansion a place where you can cause trouble? You're not allowed to go there!"
"What does Father mean by this? Are you just going to stand by and watch me get beaten and bullied? That I can't fight back and have to suffer in silence?"
"If you want to compete with Gu Qianhan, then go to the martial arts arena and have a one-on-one match. After that, all grudges will be settled!"
"I……"
Xiao Qingyuan clenched his fists in anger. If he could beat Gu Qianhan, what would he need ten guards for?
Gu Qianhan is too cunning. They used to practice martial arts together and spar with each other. Gu Qianhan always lost to him, so he thought he had practiced very well and then stopped practicing.
Only now do I realize that Gu Qianhan was hiding his true strength, and that he deliberately lost to him!
What's even more terrifying is that Gu Qianhan has never given up practicing martial arts since he started. He is already an expert in basic skills, internal energy, lightness skills, fist techniques, leg techniques, and sword techniques!
However, Xiao Qingyuan was not convinced. If Gu Qianhan hadn't been so cunning, he would definitely have been more skilled in martial arts than Gu Qianhan!
Moreover, he wanted Gu Qianhan to know that no matter how good his kung fu was, it was useless!
Once he takes ten guards and storms the Duke's mansion, beating Gu Qianhan to a pulp, he'll realize that in the face of absolute power, no amount of scheming or personal strength matters!
