Shu Yang stood up straight, looked directly at Wang Yanzhou and said, "Shu Yang is just defending his own happiness."
"Oh, happiness? So you dare to do this to me, the future wife of the king?"
Shu Yang was startled. His fearless gaze had suddenly become evasive. Just where did Tang Chen come from? Why did Wang Yanzhou value her so highly? According to intelligence reports, he had never been around that woman. Or perhaps, this uncle had been away from the court for so long that his people didn't even recognize her. "Shu Yang, Shu Yang..."
Seeing her master being wronged, Liuying quickly stepped forward to explain, "Your Majesty, please calm down. The princess is just..."
But before he could finish his words, Wang Yanzhou slapped Liuying in the face, and she flew out, spitting blood and fainting on the ground.
"It's not your turn to speak here."
Wang Yanzhou didn't want to waste any more time, so he just warned: "Shuyang, even though I'm not involved in state affairs, it doesn't mean you can do whatever you want to my people. I will not let this matter go."
After saying this, Wang Yanzhou turned away. As soon as he left, Chen Xin came back to report, "My Lord, Princess Shuyang's guards have all been dealt with."
"Very good. Since she doesn't like the marriage her father arranged for her, then as her uncle, I should put in more effort."
"I understand."
All of Shu Yang's secretly trained secret guards vanished in the blink of an eye. Those found guilty of serious crimes were handed over to the Jingji government office by Shen Xin through her own connections. Those who were still innocent were also dismissed under her name and given death warrants, forbidden to appear in Jingji again.
Although Wang Yanzhou hated him, he was not the kind of person who liked to kill innocent people. The people he wanted to torture, besides Shu Yang, were the killer who had taken on the job of assassinating Tang Chen.
When Wang Yanzhou and Shen Xin finished their work and rushed back, the doctors had already left, leaving only Heiya and Liang Shuyi in the room to guard Tang Chen.
Wang Yanzhou walked into the room quietly. Looking at the lifeless figure on the bed, his heart suddenly tightened. "How is she now?"
Liang Shuyi replied softly, "The medicine was delivered in time, so it was a close call. His life was saved, but..."
What Wang Yanzhou didn't want to hear the most was "but"; if Tang Chen made any mistakes this time, he would definitely let Shu Yang share the pain: "But what."
Black Crow, who had been standing silently by, sighed slightly and explained, "The doctor said that although the antidote is working, due to its strong toxicity, some unpredictable symptoms may appear for a period of time."
"What symptoms?" Wang Yanzhou's expressionless face made everyone in the room nervous, and they didn't even dare to breathe.
Although this incident had no direct connection to Black Crow, he was the one who put Tang Chen in danger. He was to blame for Tang Chen's condition. "They don't know about this either. They just said the symptoms are temporary. As long as I take good care of myself and eliminate the remaining toxins in my body, I'll be able to recover."
After Wang Yanzhou handed the sword he was holding tightly to Chen Xin, he said to everyone, "You guys go and rest. I'll watch her."
Liang Shuyi looked at the group of grown men in front of her and couldn't help but shake her head. These people, at first glance, didn't seem very good at taking care of a sick woman. Shen Xin was a doctor, so it was fine, but the others were really inconvenient. If Tang Chen had been comatose for the past two days, she couldn't let them do things like rubbing her body and turning her back. "You should go and rest. I'm not tired. Besides, it's more convenient for me to take care of her."
"...Thank you."
Liang Shuyi smiled slightly: "Why bother? She is also my friend. Besides, she promised to give me the jewelry from Yihuangfang, so I can't let her go back on her word. Don't worry, if she wakes up, I will notify you the first time."
"Um."
...Tang Chen didn't know where she was or what she was doing. She only vaguely remembered that she was carrying a bag of dead cockroaches and was going to throw them into the trash can under the dormitory building. Just as she walked to the dormitory door, it seemed that someone bumped into her, and then it seemed that many people surrounded her and were still talking about something. In the dim light, it seemed that someone was calling her:
"Brother, wake up, wake up, are you okay?"
Tang Chen looked at the classmates surrounding him with a dizzy feeling, and fell into a state of confusion: "...Where is this place?"
Tang Chen's roommate, who was close to her, was relieved to see that she had woken up. She had just returned from the cafeteria and was shocked to see her collapse on the ground for no apparent reason. "Finally you're awake! I think you fainted from low blood sugar. Sorry!"
Tang Chen looked confused and asked, "What's going on? I feel dizzy and my left arm hurts. Did this guy accidentally step on it and that's why he's apologizing?"
The roommate apologized and explained, "I saw that you were still unconscious, so I hit you a little harder."
After his roommate said this, Tang Chen realized that compared to the dull pain in his arm, the pain on his face seemed to be more obvious at this moment: "Hiss, it hurts! You hit me so hard, you really are my roommate!"
"Come on, don't worry about these details. I'll help you back first."
After the fainting incident, Tang Chen's life went on as usual. Ever since she caught those cockroaches last time, the dormitory had completely eradicated cockroaches. To express her gratitude, her roommates even made her a banner and hung it in the dormitory.
On the weekend, Tang Chen was playing her usual game as usual. For some reason, she always felt that the game was not as smooth as before. Also, she always felt her head was groggy these days. Was she sick?
"...Mina-san, I always feel like I've forgotten something. Do you know what I've forgotten?"
Roommate Zhou Beibei was lying on the bed, looking at her phone, and raised her hand, saying, "I know! You forgot you owed me five million recently!"
"……indifferent."
Tang Chen saw that there were only two of them in the dormitory, and the game didn't seem as interesting as before, so she simply picked up her bag and prepared to go to the library to find some books to read to pass the time.
The man walked along the road in a daze, clutching his still aching arm, not knowing what he was thinking. Such a confused state inevitably resulted in him bumping into a street lamp or a passerby.
"Ah! Sorry, sorry!"
The male classmate who was knocked back by Tang Chen took a step back. Seeing her confused look, he smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay. Walk carefully and be careful not to hit the street lamp next time."
Tang Chen rubbed his head and looked up at the person he bumped into. An inexplicable sense of familiarity suddenly surged up from the bottom of his heart: "You are..."
"If you're alright, I'll leave first."
