Chapter 130: A Plan Within a Plan
When Rong Chen heard Shu Wan say that he believed in himself, there was still a smile in his eyes.
But suddenly when he heard Shu Wan say the word "but", he felt as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on him, chilling him from head to toe. The joy in his heart disappeared in an instant.
"Rong Chen." Shu Wan even had a smile on her face, "But now that something like this has happened, even if I believe you, others won't. People in the world won't believe it. They only want to believe what they hear. Yu Wenzhu's reputation has indeed been ruined in your hands!" Having said this, Shu Wan paused again, and then continued, "I won't stand on the moral high ground and ask you to be responsible for her. That's a matter between you two and has nothing to do with me. But at the same time, I can no longer be with you with peace of mind, so let's forget it!"
"No, no!" Rong Chen's face was ashen, and he obviously couldn't accept what Shu Wan said.
"That's enough." Shu Wan didn't continue to argue with him, but turned to look at Yu Jianning, "General Yu, you came here to find him, and now I have found him, so let's go our separate ways!"
"We came out together. If I don't bring you back safely, I won't be able to explain to your parents." Yu Jianning walked to her side, indicating that he had to follow Shu Wan.
"I'm really happy that you think this way!" Shu Wan turned and looked at him, "But little general, Rong Chen is your friend and your superior. It's reasonable for you to follow him. This way, I'll feel at ease!" Shu Wan will not and cannot let Yu Jianning follow her now. They must stay by Rong Chen's side so that she can feel at ease to do what she has to do.
"But you..." Yu Jianning wanted to refute.
"Don't worry!" Shu Wan smiled very gently, "I'll be fine here, but you guys, be careful. Okay, I'm leaving!" As she spoke, she glanced at Rong Chen, mist gradually gathering in her eyes. She bit her lip to prevent the tears from falling, then walked away, leaving all the troubles behind in that world.
"Rong Chen!" Yu Jianning was afraid that Shu Wan would get into trouble, so he signaled Rong Chen to go after her. In his opinion, that Yu Wenzhu was nothing. Who cares if she was innocent or not? Rong Chen didn't really do anything to her. After they returned to Blackwater City, who cares who Yu Wenzhu was? Who knew her? Why torture yourself for an irrelevant person?
He wanted to chase her out, but what Shu Wan wanted now was not him.
But Rong Chen, the great Buddha, remained unmoved.
"Let her go!" He darkened his eyes. Even if he chased her out, what would happen next? Should he explain to her, was today's incident just a plot between him and Yu Wenyan? Wasn't the purpose to force her to leave like this? Since he couldn't explain even if he chased her out, it would be better to just leave it like this. It was fine like this.
"I can't help much if I stay here, so I'll go back first!" Yuwen Yan stood up with a smile on his face, "I'll trouble you here, Your Majesty!" He looked at the queen in a pretentious manner and spoke.
"These are my responsibilities!" The Queen snorted coldly, "Prince Li, there is no need to worry about them!"
Then Yuwen Yan really left.
After Shu Wan left the inn, he was extremely confused for a moment and didn't know where to go.
By this time, the sky was gradually getting dark, and because of the rain, there was no one to be seen on the street.
Shu Wan was walking alone on the street in the rain.
In fact, Shu Wan was being a little too hypocritical now, because she was very clear-headed. She knew that Rong Chen was innocent in today's incident. This was just a trick set up by Yuwen Yan to force her. She saw it at a glance, so she just took advantage of the situation and pretended to break up with Rong Chen. Her purpose was to get close to Yuwen Yan and get the antidote smoothly.
But she was still very confused.
That's why she did such a childish thing!
After Yu Wenyan chased out, he saw Shu Wan actually getting wet in the rain. A nameless anger rose in his heart, and he chased after her with an umbrella in hand.
In his opinion, Shu Wan was just heartbroken over losing Rong Chen, so she went out in the rain and didn't want to live anymore.
Just a man!
What's so good about Rong Chen? She's just dying! But more importantly, Yu Wenyan should be angry with himself. She's just a woman. There are many prettier and gentler women than her, and everyone is willing to say nice and flattering words to him. Why does he think Shu Wan is good? He thinks that not only Shu Wan is sick, but he is also sick, and he is even sicker!
Although he despised himself and Shu Wan in his heart, he still quickly followed and held the umbrella over Shu Wan's head. If he continued to get wet like this, it would be strange if he didn't get gonorrhea. What if Shu Wan died?
Shu Wan felt that the rain above his head had stopped. He paused for a moment, then looked at the front where the rain was still falling. Shu Wan slightly side-glanced and sneered after seeing Yu Wenyan.
"Your Highness Prince Li has made a fool of himself!" She slapped away the umbrella that Yuwen Yan handed to her. "If Prince Li has had enough, please do as you please!" She really didn't want to be so close to Yuwen Yan because she hated him too much.
"Shu Wan!" Yu Wenyan held the umbrella over her head again, not caring whether she would open it again or not. "He's just a Rong Chen. What's so good about him? Is he so important to you? Marry me, and I will give you whatever you want. I will fulfill all your wishes!" The thing that Yu Wenyan was most reluctant to admit in his heart was that from childhood to adulthood, he had never had such a strong possessiveness over a person. He just wanted to get her at all costs. The madness in his heart for Shu Wan was probably only comparable to the position of the emperor.
"Okay, give me the antidote!" Shu Wan seemed to have heard a joke, and then stretched out his hand towards Yu Wenyan with a smile.
"Shu Wan, are you so afraid of his death?" Yu Wenyan was so angry that he jumped to his feet. He threw the oil-paper umbrella in his hand angrily and stood in the rain looking at Shu Wan, "Is he so important? You are still thinking about him!" He has never failed to get something he liked, the throne and Shu Wan, he will not fail either.
"Prince Li arranged such a big drama today, isn't it just to make me and Rong Chen part ways, and then marry you?" Shu Wan said sarcastically, "Then I agreed to marry you, just to get the antidote from you, so that we can both get what we need, why not?"
"Antidote, antidote, and antidote again!" Yu Wenyan roared, "What else can you say except the word antidote? Shu Wan, believe it or not, I will destroy the antidote now and let him die!" He just didn't believe that Shu Wan could still miss a dead man.
"You dare not!" Shu Wan sneered at his threat.
"Do you think I dare to do that?" Yu Wenyan was so angry that he felt dizzy.
"Go ahead and destroy it!" Shu Wan was unmoved and pressed forward. "If you dare to destroy the antidote, I will kill you with my own hands and cut you into pieces. You will never rest in peace even after your death!"
"Shu Wan, you woman have such a vicious heart!" Yu Wenyan calmed down a little. He would not destroy the antidote. He wanted to keep it to make Shu Wan marry him obediently.
"In terms of viciousness, how dare I compare with His Royal Highness Prince Li who doesn't take human life seriously?" Shu Wan sneered and counterattacked, "Yuwen Yan, I don't want to waste any more time talking to you. Give me the antidote and I promise to marry you. Otherwise, I will kill you with my own hands. At worst, we can all die together and no one will live!" Rong Chen only has seven days left, and his body can no longer bear it in seven days.
"Actually, Shu Wan, do you know?" Yu Wenyan suddenly laughed, "Today, I have already given the antidote to Rong Chen, but he didn't want it!"
Shu Wan was stunned. She was shocked that Yuwen Yan suddenly wanted to give the antidote to Rong Chen. Then she was overjoyed in her heart, thinking that Rong Chen was finally saved. Then she heard that Rong Chen did not want the antidote. She was puzzled. Why did he not want it? That was the antidote that could save his life! Why didn't he want it?
"Shu Wan, you are so smart, you should have guessed it." Yu Wenyan knew what she was thinking by looking at the changing expressions on her face. "Actually, he also knew about what happened today. He did it on purpose because he knew that he didn't have much time left, so he didn't want to delay you. That's why he cooperated with me in playing such a drama today. To thank him, I have offered him the antidote today, but he didn't want it. He said, he had already lost you, what else did he need the antidote for? If he took the antidote, he would never be at peace in his life. So, he threw the antidote back." Yu Wenyan said every word to Shu Wan.
"You deserve to die!" Shu Wan was extremely angry. She knew that what happened today was a setup, but she didn't expect that Rong Chen actually knew about it.
"Shu Wan, you must not let him know that you already know!" Yuwen Yan liked her angry but helpless look very much. "His wish is that you misunderstand him, and then marry me with hatred for him. In this way, you won't be sad after he dies. Otherwise, if he knew that you have heard the truth, I am afraid he will die with regrets!" But Yuwen Yan had to poke at the most painful part of her heart.
"Give me the antidote!" Shu Wan yelled at Yu Wenyan in a state of collapse, while holding the dagger to his neck, "Otherwise, we will die together." It's ridiculous that she doesn't know that Rong Chen has done so much for her.
She thought she had calculated everything, so she tried to find an antidote for him. However, she never imagined that he had already calculated everything in advance.
Deliberately make her misunderstand and make her marry Yuwen Yan.
Perhaps the only thing he missed was that he underestimated Shu Wan's love for him, so Shu Wan could see at a glance that this was a trap and was willing to join in to get the antidote for him! Shu Wan was afraid that he would know the truth and then would not want her to marry Yu Wenyan for a bottle of antidote. Rong Chen was afraid that she would know that he didn't have much time left, so he planned painstakingly, and in order to make her give up on him, he was willing to give up his own life.
"It's just an antidote. If you want it, I'll give it to you!" Yuwen Yan took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and stuffed it into Shu Wan's hand. "As for how to get it to him, that's your business!" Killing someone and destroying their heart is the cruelest thing.
Since he chose to tell Shu Wan all this, he was certain that Shu Wan would not dare to let Rong Chen know her intentions.
Shu Wan tightly grasped the antidote in her hand, and it was hard to tell whether the water on her face was rain or tears.
No matter what, Rong Chen must be alive and nothing can happen to him. Thinking of this, Shu Wan wanted to turn around while holding the antidote. Even if she had to force the antidote into his mouth today, she would still force the antidote into his mouth.
But at the moment he turned around, he felt dizzy, his vision blurred, and Shu Wan lost consciousness.
When she opened her eyes again, the rain outside had stopped and she felt freezing cold.
"You finally woke up!" Yu Wenyan's voice came from the side.
Shu Wan knew where he was without even thinking.
"Where is my antidote?" Shu Wan's consciousness slowly returned, and the first thing she asked was Yu Wenyan.
"Drink this bowl of ginger soup!" Yu Wenyan did not answer her question, but handed her a bowl of ginger soup to drive away the cold with one hand.
"Where's the antidote?" Shu Wan's eyes widened with anger.
"Drink it!" Yuwen Yan was unmoved.
Shu Wan had no choice but to snatch the bowl and gulp down the ginger soup. The spicy and unpleasant smell filled her nose, but she didn't care about anything else and reached out to Yuwen Yan. There was no need to say what she meant.
"It seems that I have to keep Rong Chen alive. Otherwise, if he dies, you will die with him, right?" Yu Wenyan said in a self-deprecating tone, and handed the antidote he had given to Shu Wan to her again.
"So, this bottle of antidote is only half, right?" Shu Wan grabbed the antidote as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw, holding it in her hand as if it were a treasure, as if she was afraid that Yu Wenyan would snatch it from her.
"You are really smart!" Yuwen Yan did not hide it deliberately and admitted it openly, "I thought it would take at least a few days to find out!" How could he hand over all the antidotes so easily? He should at least keep half of them.
"Where is the remaining half? Give it to me!" Shu Wan didn't want to waste any more words with him. She had guessed it before she fainted, but Yu Wenyan's words had such a huge impact on her at that time that she only wanted to give the antidote to Rong Chen, so she didn't bother to ask about it.
Now that she has woken up from a good sleep, she is much calmer than before.
"Shu Wan, don't be too greedy!" Yuwen Yan's tone was cold, and his words were extremely vicious. "If I give you all the antidote, and then you regret it and run away, who will I marry? I have already given you half of the antidote, Rong Chen will not die at least now. You see, I have shown so much sincerity, Shu Wan, don't you have to let me leave a way out?" He moved closer, and Shu Wan avoided him in disgust. She hated Yuwen Yan from head to toe.
"I have already agreed to marry you, what else do you want?"
