Chapter 344 Responsible for Her

The night was slightly cool, and all the lights in the garden had gone out, but in another mansion next to the garden, there was still a bright light.

Helian Tuo sat sideways on the couch, looking at Chen Ke who was kneeling in front of him. His usually charming and smiling face was now devoid of a smile.

He stared at Chen Ke in front of him, with a coldness in his eyes that he himself did not even notice.

"Chen Ke, I gave you too much power, so how dare you disobey my orders and act on your own?"

Chen Ke raised his head, a look of solemnity flashed across his face, "Sir, I dare not."

"Don't dare?" Helian Tuo stared at him closely, his voice carrying an obvious chill of danger, "Then you dare to say that the matter of Concubine Lang Gui being poisoned has nothing to do with you?!"

Chen Ke pursed his lips and quickly raised his head again, "I didn't kill her."

Helian Tuo felt himself getting angry, and he threw the teacup in his hand at him fiercely, but it just brushed his cheek and hit the wall behind him.

"Chen Ke, do you still think of me as your master?"

He clearly said not to touch her!

Chen Ke's face was tense, but he still insisted, "My master has always been the prince, and everything I do is for my master. The emperor is so fond of Concubine Lang Gui, if she gives birth to an heir, it will be extremely disadvantageous to the prince's future. I know that she has done a favor to the prince, but those who achieve great things do not care about trivial matters, not to mention that she is just slightly injured..."

"Shut up!" Helian Tuo couldn't help but scold him, with anger in his eyes that he himself didn't even notice.

It's just a physical injury...

Even though he was a man, he knew how serious the consequences would be if a woman could no longer bear children.

How would that be different from destroying her hopes for the rest of her life?

Helian Tuo knew in his heart that this result was the best for him.

Now that you have started planning, you should not look ahead or behind.

He closed his eyes for a long while, and when he opened his eyes again, all his emotions had slowed down. He only looked at Chen Ke in front of him, and his voice was cold.

"If there is a next time, even if it is you, I will give you up without hesitation. Do you remember this?"

Chen Ke's heart trembled slightly, and he kowtowed deeply to him.

"I've made note of that."

Helian Tuo calmed down and said, "Although Liangyu is dead, the Dark Guard will definitely investigate thoroughly. You must get out of this matter and get Xie Jingzhi out if necessary."

Chen Ke didn't care when Si Linglong just lost her body, but when he heard this, his face changed slightly, "But Xie Jingzhi was cultivated by the master with great difficulty."

"That's perfect." Helian Tuo glanced at Chen Ke, and then said sarcastically, "Only by exchanging Xie Jingzhi for the heir to the throne can one be justified in doing so."

"Prince..." Chen Ke was about to speak, but Helian Tuo interrupted him with a look, "Chen Ke, don't underestimate the emperor and the secret guards behind him."

Since you have chosen to take action, you must be prepared for the possibility that the other party may have something to hold against you.

Chen Ke opened his mouth, but no words came out.

He thought he was infallible.

But, if Xie Jingzhi were to be exchanged for an heir to the throne who had not even shown his shadow.

They lost!

Without paying any more attention to the gloomy expression on Chen Ke's face, Helian Tuo waved his hand and asked everyone to leave.

Until there was only one person left in the study, Helian Tuo couldn't help but think of Si Linglong again.

Except for that time when she pulled me into her tent and even went head-on with Helian Yue for him, every time after that, she seemed to be on guard against me.

But the more this happened, the more he cared about this person.

Thinking that the man might be lying on the bed with a pale face, Helian Tuo couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

The favor of saving her that time has not yet been repaid, and now I owe her again.

Someone like Helian Yue may pamper her for a while, but not for her whole life.

If in the future...

He would keep her, and if she wished, he would take care of her as he did Qianqian.

Since he was the one who caused her to have no children in the future, he could only take responsibility for it.
