Chapter 283



She Jun was in a coma for two days before he slowly woke up.

Yan Sikong also guarded She Jun for two days, which made Feng Ye very dissatisfied, so he forced him to take a nap.

She Jun was in good health, and had been treated by a highly skilled imperial physician with the best medicines. He was no longer seriously ill, but just needed some time to recuperate.

Seeing that She Jun had gotten better, Yan Sikong's heart, which had been hanging in the balance for two days, finally settled down.

She Jun smiled bitterly at Yan Sikong: "I thought I was dead this time, but I didn't expect that my luck was too tough and no one would come to save me."

Yan Sikong smiled faintly and said, "That's right, Prince Yan is afraid that if he takes you in, he will turn his underworld upside down."

She Jun sighed, "Sikong, are you okay?"

This question made Yan Sikong feel very sad. He didn't know how to answer for a moment, so he could only say: "I chose the path myself. Whether it's good or not, I accept it."

"I hope you can have a smooth life and enjoy wealth and glory."

Yan Sikong laughed at himself and said, "Forget it. I don't have that kind of fate."

She Zhun shook his head helplessly: "Yuan Nanyu, is there any news?"

Yan Sikong's eyes darkened: "Chen Yu wants Feng Ye to leave the Forbidden City, or, use me in exchange."

"Not surprising." She Jun coughed twice, "If I could have rescued him at that time..."

Yan Sikong smoothed his chest for him and said, "This is not your fault. It's me who caused you to get hurt."

"Don't say that."

"Then don't say that again." Yan Sikong poured him a glass of water and fed him a drink. "Chen Yi knew that Feng Ye would never give up his kingdom for one person, so his target was still me. He deliberately wrote a letter to anger Feng Ye and threaten me, just to see what I would do to save my brother."

"Do you have any ideas?"

"It's useless. Feng Ye has sent people to watch us closely. This time it's really impossible to escape, unlike in Taiyuan."

She Jun sighed again.

Yan Sikong found it difficult to speak, but he still had to ask: "Yu'er, what happened? Why would he..."

She Jun frowned but said nothing.

"She Zhun?" Yan Sikong was a little nervous, "What happened to Yu'er?"

She Jun sighed and said, "Sikong, tell me the truth, did you and Chen Yu... do that?"

Yan Sikong was stunned: "Of course not."

“He has this idea.”

"But he doesn't dare." After Yan Sikong finished speaking, he found that he had no confidence at all. In fact, he knew in his heart that the Chen Yi in front of him was not the real Chen Yi. The cold, sinister, selfish and ruthless King of Chu in other people's mouths was the true face of the young man he watched grow up.

"You said he didn't dare, but you underestimated him." She Jun snorted coldly, "He thinks of himself as an emperor, how can he tolerate being rejected? But... I thought you and him had a secret relationship for a long time, so he would treat Yuan Nanyu as you. If not, with Yuan Nanyu's kung fu, how did he succeed?"

Yan Sikong gritted his teeth and said, "Maybe Yu'er had to give in to save his life..."

She Zhun recalled the scene when he met Yuan Nanyu and Chen Yi that day: "Looking back now, it seems a little strange."

"What's the matter?"

She Jun frowned and thought for a long time before saying, "Yuan Nanyu injured Chen Yi in order to save me, but Chen Yi looked like he had been on guard against him. Perhaps he had been exposed before that."

Yan Sikong's expression changed.

Yuan Nanyu is a straightforward person and is not good at disguising himself or lying. Chen Yi has been neglected and looked down upon in the palace since childhood, and is as good at reading people's expressions as he is. No matter how similar they look, they are not the same person after all. As long as they spend more time together, they will definitely reveal their true colors.

In fact, he found it incredible that Yuan Nanyu had managed to hold out for so long without being exposed. According to their original plan, Yuan Nanyu only needed to pretend to be someone else for a few days before leaving Pingliang. Otherwise, he would not have dared to do such a substitution.

Maybe it was true as She Jun said, Chen Yu had known for a long time that Yuan Nanyu was a fake, but he just didn't expose it...

Thinking of this, Yan Sikong felt a chill down his spine.

Seeing Yan Sikong's pale face, She Jun comforted him, "At least, he's still alive and not injured."

"You don't understand Yu'er. He would rather be hurt than be humiliated." Yan Sikong said coldly, "I don't know what Chen Yi used to force him to submit. He is now isolated and helpless. How difficult it must be..."

"As long as he is alive, he has a chance to redeem himself. You don't have to blame yourself. We will rescue him." She Jun grabbed Yan Sikong's hand, "Whatever you want to do, I will listen to you."

Yan Sikong patted the back of his hand and said gently, "She Zhun, you have done so much for me. Now I just want you to take good care of yourself."

She Jun wanted to say something, but Yan Sikong changed the subject: "Where's Ali? How is Ali?"

"Don't worry, I have already arranged for him. I also wanted to arrange a marriage for him according to your wishes, but he refused."

"Why?"

"He said..." She Jun said helplessly, "He would scare the girl and she would not want to get married. She would rather come back and serve you."

Yan Sikong said, "After I rescue Yu'er, if it is possible, I will go and propose marriage to him myself. If you spend a little more money, you won't have trouble finding a considerate girl."

As he was speaking, a servant came to report that Princess Wanyang had arrived.

Yan Sikong was quite surprised. The Jingyuan Palace had been renovated and they had all moved in. This was probably a place that Wan Yang was unwilling to set foot in.

He felt somewhat nervous, so he told She Jun to have a good rest and then he hurried to meet the princess.

Wan Yang came with Yan Jinyu. The little princess was never afraid of strangers, but when she saw Yan Sikong, she shrank a little, but she couldn't hide the curiosity on her face.

Yan Sikong bowed and asked: "Your Highness, how come you have time to move here?"

Wan Yang got straight to the point and said, "I'm here to see She Jun."

"Oh, She Jun is recovering from his injury."

"Lead the way." Wan Yang raised his chin and looked at Yan Sikong with a cold face.

"Your Highness, please." Yan Sikong led Wan Yang to the inner courtyard.

"How badly is he injured?" Wan Yang asked, "I heard that he broke into the King of Chu's camp and almost came back dead."

Yan Sikong sighed, "Yes, fortunately his subordinates sent him to the Forbidden City in time. If it had been a little later, the consequences would have been disastrous."

Wan Yang pursed his lips, his eyes unable to hide the worry: "After you left Beijing, it was She Jun who took care of me and the children. You owe him a huge favor."

Yan Sikong looked ashamed: "It is true."

Gently pushing open the door, Yan Sikong said, "She Zhun, Princess Wanyang and Duo'er are here to see you."

Upon hearing this, She Jun struggled to get up from the bed and said, "I pay my respects to Her Royal Highness the Princess..."

Wan Yang led the little princess in and said hurriedly, "No need to get up!"

Seeing She Zhun's weak appearance, Wan Yang's eyebrows, as elegant and beautiful as willow branches, frowned tightly: "How did you get hurt like this?"

She Jun grinned, "It's okay, it will be fine in a few days." His eyes fell on Yan Jinyu, and he forced himself to tease her, "Little Prince, do you still remember me?"

Yan Jinyu shook her head.

"She couldn't speak when you left Beijing, so how could she remember you?" Wan Yang sat beside the couch and sighed, "I brought a lot of excellent tonics. You must rest well and get well soon."

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness." She Jun stared at Wan Yang without blinking, "Your Highness came to visit me in person, and I am flattered."

Wan Yang lowered his head and said softly, "You helped me a lot in the past."

As he was talking, the door was pushed open again, and Feng Ye strode in like a gust of wind. After seeing Wan Yang and Yan Sikong standing half a bed away from each other, he breathed a sigh of relief and said sternly, "Xi'er is here, what are you doing here?"

Wan Yang couldn't hide her fear of Feng Ye. She stood up and bowed: "Cousin, I'm here to visit She Jun."

Feng Ye nodded and walked to She Jun's bedside: "You are awake, have you called the imperial physician to check?"

"I've checked. I'm fine now." She Zhun said calmly, "Thank you, Wolf King, for saving me."

Feng Ye's face was grim: "Six years ago, you rescued me from the imperial prison and sent me out of the capital. I have always remembered that I will repay those who have done me a favor double."

She Jun said, "It was Lord Yan who saved the Wolf King. I was just paid to help him ward off disaster, so I dare not take credit for it." In his heart, he was both disdainful and dissatisfied with Feng Ye, so naturally he didn't look happy.

Feng Ye could hear She Jun's sarcasm and felt irritated. He glanced at Yan Sikong who was indifferent beside him and felt even more upset. He said, "She Jun, take good care of yourself. Yan Sikong, come with me."

In front of She Jun and Wan Yang, Yan Sikong didn't want to embarrass them, so he followed Feng Ye.

Arriving at the study, Feng Ye asked in a questioning tone: "Did Xier really come to see She Zhun? When did she have a personal relationship with She Zhun?"

Yan Sikong said calmly, "Jin Yu was bought from the countryside by She Zhun and given to the princess. After I left Beijing, he helped me take care of the mansion."

"What did Xier say to you?"

"no."

Feng Ye was relieved: "Let's talk business. The spy I sent to the Chu army has replied. It is true that Quewang and Chen Yi had an affair. Quewang stayed in Chen Yi's central army tent many times, and Chen Yi also stayed in Quewang's tent many times. There have been rumors in the army for a long time. It is said that in Pingliang, Chen Yi almost strangled his concubine for Quewang."

Yan Sikong frowned: "Qi Manbi? Why?"

"Yes, it's the concubine who looks like you. As for why, I haven't found out, but no matter what..." Feng Ye narrowed his eyes, "He did all this not because of forgetfulness, but because of you."

Yan Sikong said in a deep voice: "Only they know what happened. The only important thing now is to rescue Que Wang."

"Yes, I will keep my word and will not doubt you easily again." Feng Ye stared straight at Yan Sikong, "You'd better not let me down."

Yan Sikong ignored him and asked, "How do you plan to rescue Que Wang?"

"I have a plan."
