Chapter 393 Nothing but Death

Ji Wan'er was fooled by her, and of course she stood on the same side with her, completely unaware of the potential crisis hidden in Fang Lanyi's words.

If she concealed the truth and did not report it, and the matter really reached a point where it could not be resolved, she, who knew the truth but did not report it, would definitely become the one who was vented. The more she did not dare to give Fang Lanyi out at that time, otherwise she would be courting death - Fang Lanyi had already figured out Ji Wan'er's stupid, ignorant and easy-to-fool temperament.

If Chu Hongyi had a miscarriage on the night of the wedding, it would definitely be considered an unlucky thing in the noble family of the palace. At that time, she would lose the child she could rely on, and she would have an unlucky reputation. I don't believe she can still gain a foothold in the Jingwang Mansion.

As for Madam Xi, she didn't see Fang Lanyi's face anyway. As long as Ji Wan'er didn't say anything, no one would find out about her. Besides, the Weiwang Mansion was involved. I'm afraid that Madam Xi would be silenced before she could give out the Weiwang Mansion.

It must be said that Fang Lanyi's plan was quite smart and thoughtful, but she ignored the fact that the plan was not as fast as the changes, and ignored the accidents that might occur in the plan. Ji Wan'er relied on the fact that she was the niece of Princess Jing and Princess Jing's attitude towards Chu Hongyi.

She thought that no matter what she did, her aunt would not blame her.

But when she realized how much her aunt valued the child in Chu Hongyi's belly and her attitude towards her today, Ji Wan'er suddenly felt fearful, afraid that her aunt would really break off relations with her, and then the Ji family would lose their support in the future, and her status among the noble ladies in the imperial capital would plummet in an instant.

And her cousin's feelings for Chu Hongyi, if something happened to the child in Chu Hongyi's belly, her cousin would never let her go.

So in panic, Ji Wan'er finally couldn't bear the condemnation of her conscience and the fear of future risks, and couldn't wait to atone for her sins, saving herself and her cousin's child.

The cause and effect of the incident have been made clear. Madam Xi has not become an accomplice in this matter, but it is still unpredictable what choice she will make later. However, it is undeniable that she is also a victim.

After listening to the story, Xuanyuan Qi was silent for a long time, and his delicate and soft eyebrows were as cold as ice.

Then he went back to the mansion without saying a word to accompany his wife for lunch. After the meal, he sent Chu Hongyi back to the Chu family. He happened to meet Chu Nanyi who had just returned from the palace. Xuanyuan Qi took the opportunity to let him feel Hongyi's pulse.

Chu Nanyi raised his eyebrows: "I've already said that I'm only good at treating external injuries."

Having said that, he still gave Chu Hongyi a brief diagnosis after she sat down, "Nothing serious."

Xuanyuan Qi sat down and drank a cup of tea: "How is the Regent's injury?"

"That's nonsense. Such a serious injury can't be healed in ten days or half a month." Chu Nanyi said indifferently, "But for the Regent, as long as he's not dead, it's not a big deal."

As a bastard of the Chu family, even if his sister is about to marry into the Prince Jing's Mansion, Chu Nanyi's tone of speaking to Xuanyuan Qi in such a tone can definitely be regarded as disrespectful.

However, Xuanyuan Qi obviously didn't care about these details. He was silent for a moment: "Why didn't the regent ask the imperial physician to treat him?"

"Although there are many good medicines in the Imperial Hospital, it is difficult to find holy medicine." Chu Nanyi said in a very light tone, "The regent doesn't have time to stay in bed for three or two months."

It is said that the military sticks in the military camp are powerful, but it is unknown that the high priest's golden whip is more vicious. If it weren't for Rong Yu's strong physical strength and will, it would be impossible for him to bear the heavy responsibility of the golden whip, and he would have to bear such a serious injury until the end of the coronation ceremony.

People who are hit by military sticks usually have to recuperate for more than half a month. If Rong Yu's injury is treated with medicine from the Imperial Hospital, although it is more carefully treated, it will take at least one month without fighting.

Xuanyuan Qi's heart moved slightly, and he looked at Chu Nanyi with a more meaningful look: "Are you also from Jiuxiao Pavilion?"

Jiuxiao Pavilion is richer than the world, with many masters, and has gathered all kinds of talents in the world. What is the rare medicine?

Chu Nanyi did not comment.

"Since you are from Jiuxiao Pavilion, I need your help with something." Xuanyuan Qi said calmly, "I have something very important to do tonight, give me some of the good stuff in your hand."

Chu Nanyi raised his eyebrows: "Good stuff?"

Xuanyuan Qi nodded, his eyebrows were deep, and the cold and ruthless color in his eyes flashed.

...

It was night, and the dark night sky was twinkling with stars.

The wind was sobbing, and it hurt people's skin and face in the cold winter, like a knife cutting.

A black-clothed and masked figure passed through the deep courtyard, avoiding the guards patrolling the front and back yards, and ran freely like a ghost in the dark night. Soon he arrived at an elegant courtyard, walked to the window and stood still for a moment, opened the window and jumped into the woman's boudoir neatly, quietly, without disturbing anyone.

Walking silently to the bed, the man in black silently glanced at the sleeping woman on the bed and the two night duty maids sleeping on the edge of the bed. Suddenly, he quickly pressed the acupoints of the woman on the bed, then made a lightning move and broke the slender necks of the two maids without mercy. Then he carried the woman on the bed on his shoulders, walked to the window, and jumped out neatly.

The hourglass sounded, and the night gradually deepened.

The room was filled with wisps of light, almost odorless green smoke, which soon dissipated without a trace.

The lights in the Prince of Wei's mansion were brilliant.

The former crown prince Xuanyuan Yan had always been in poor health and had to stay in bed most of the time. However, his physical weakness did not affect his violent temperament at all, and his desire to abuse others increased. Since Nan Xi returned to Dongling, his health gradually improved, and his violent means not only did not restrain, but became more and more severe.

This can be seen from his previous abuse of Xuanyuan Chen.

In addition, Xuanyuan Yan has another habit. He likes to take a hot bath after dinner. After taking a hot bath soaked in flower petals, his whole body smells fragrant. He changes into a luxurious brocade robe, dresses up like a handsome man, takes a personal master, and goes to the most famous flower house in the imperial capital to take a walk and toss a few beautiful girls - of course, the premise is that his physical condition allows.

For example, tonight his physical condition is particularly good, he is full of energy and spirit.

The tyranny hidden in his bones needs to be vented from time to time. After Xuanyuan Chen was taken away from the palace, he was gloomy for several days. He had nowhere to vent his anger, and soon he turned his target to the girls in the brothel. He went there every now and then, and the girls he tortured to death were quietly dragged out and dealt with, and no one would know.

Anyway, the girls in the brothel were all lowly, their lives were worthless, and no one would seek justice for them after they died.
