Chapter 191: Depriving the title of Prince Rong and taking back Prince Rong's mansion
Murong Jingyan asked persistently, "If there were someone or something she cared about by her side, would there be a chance she would wake up?"
The old doctor shook his head, "The probability is low. Your Highness should not pin your hopes on this."
The old imperial physician was the one who was bribed by Murong Jingyan in the early years by the Imperial Medical Bureau in Beichen Palace.
Even when Murong Jingyan wanted to pretend to be seriously injured before, he didn't use him.
If Shen Muxi hadn't been seriously injured this time, the old doctor would have wanted to resign from Murong Jingyan.
Seeing the bloodstains on Murong Jingyan's body, the old doctor reminded him, "Your Highness's injuries are not light, so be careful not to overexert yourself."
Murong Jingyan waved his hand without saying anything.
The old doctor couldn't bear it and gave a few more instructions, "These few days are the Crown Princess's critical period. If she can make it through, there's still a great chance she'll wake up. The Crown Prince must always consider the future."
"Okay, I understand."
Murong Jingyan nodded, and seeing the old doctor with white hair, he said, "When the new emperor takes the throne, it is not appropriate for you to stay in the Imperial Hospital. It is crucial to find a place to go in time."
"Thank you for the tip, Your Highness."
The old doctor bowed respectfully to Murong Jingyan and left quietly.
Murong Jingyan sat down on the bedside again.
Seeing her covered in bruises and bandages, his heart ached.
Thinking of what she had suffered that day, he wished he could cut Su Yong into pieces.
That day——
When he received the letter from Su Yong, saying that he wanted to put an end to everything, he was so excited that the wounds on his body opened up, his eyes went dark, and he almost fainted.
He knew how crazy Su Yong had become.
Without the Su Mansion, even the Hui people who supported him were taken back by Hui spies. His previous nest was destroyed by Gu Shi, and his new nest was taken out by King Xian.
All his hard work of more than ten years was gone in an instant.
It would be weird if you weren't crazy.
Gu Shi arrived at the mountain temple almost at the same time as him.
The smell of blood hit his nose, and what he saw was Su Yong, who was almost crazy, beating Shen Muxi, who was covered in blood and dying.
Rage instantly devoured his reason.
He hadn't experienced such intense emotional fluctuations for a long time since his mother passed away.
The one who was even angrier than him was Gu Shi.
Seeing Shen Muxi dying, Gu Shi shouted angrily, stepped forward and took Su Yong's hateful knife.
At the cost of a broken arm, Su Yong was distracted for a moment.
Gave him the opportunity to rescue Shen Muxi.
Unfortunately, when he and Gu Shi were preparing to give Su Yong the final blow.
Fu Junjing's men came and stopped him and Gu Shi from punishing Su Yong.
It was not until then that he realized that everything was designed by Fu Junjing.
Murong Jingyan had planned everything, but he hadn't anticipated that Fu Junjing would actually set his sights on Shen Muxi.
He will ask Fu Junjing to pay back this price.
"It is my fault."
He gently held Shen Muxi's hand, his voice hoarse but gentle.
He Xuan entered the room and stopped in front of the screen.
"Your Highness, His Royal Highness King Xian has arrived."
Murong Jingyan didn't even think about it and said, "No."
He Xuan added, "His Royal Highness Prince Xian also brought along Su Yong, who doesn't look like a human."
Murong Jingyan held Shen Muxi's hand tightly, but soon let go.
Before leaving for the front hall, he called He Hong over and said, "Have someone watch over the Crown Princess in secret. If anything goes wrong, you will all be beheaded."
"Yes."
lobby.
Xian Wang Fu Junjing sat in the guest seat with a high-spirited look on his face. His previous innocent and harmless cowardice had long disappeared, and he seemed to have been reborn.
His whole body was filled with the domineering aura of a king.
The moment he saw Murong Jingyan, his eyes lit up slightly and he walked forward to greet Murong Jingyan with a smile, as if the incident at the mountain temple had never happened.
"Brother Jing, the Su Yong incident was handled so smoothly thanks to you. Now, the remnants of the former dynasty have been eliminated, and the traitors in Huijiang have been dealt with. We can finally breathe a sigh of relief."
"Really? Then thank you, Your Highness Prince Xian." Murong Jingyan nodded slightly with a cold tone.
"Are you still blaming me for giving Su Yong the opportunity to kidnap your Crown Princess without informing you in advance?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Murong Jingyan strode forward and grabbed his collar.
"Did I ever say that if you want to join the game, you can use me, but you can't use the people around me?"
His eyes were bloodshot and red.
Because his injuries had not yet healed, his face was pale.
It looks extremely scary.
Fu Junjing wanted to break free from his hand, but he couldn't no matter what.
In the end, he could only sigh helplessly, and even the smile on his lips faded a little. "But it has already happened. Nothing you say now will make any difference. I came here today not to talk to you about how badly your woman was injured, but to fulfill the promise I made to you before."
"Promise?" Murong Jingyan sneered, loosened his grip on Fu Junjing's collar, and said nothing more.
The smile on Fu Junjing's lips had completely disappeared.
Even his brows furrowed slightly.
"A Jing, you are the future king of Nanyuan. Don't you feel that you are completely different from your past self now?"
In his understanding, Murong Jingyan used to be a person who would do anything to achieve his goals.
Even if he were to be an actor, he would be able to easily flatter those men.
Now it's just a woman who was hurt...
Feeling that Murong Jingyan's behavior was too unbelievable, Fu Junjing inadvertently expressed his contempt for Shen Muxi.
By the time he realized he had said the wrong thing, Murong Jingyan had already punched him hard in the face.
"Are you crazy?"
He looked at Murong Jingyan in disbelief.
Murong Jingyan gasped, "Hurry up and finish what you have to say, and get out!"
Fu Junjing put away his anger and no longer smiled like he did when he first saw Murong Jingyan.
"Since the cooperation has ended, then, as Prince Nanyuan said, Beichen and Nanyuan will not invade each other for fifty years. Su Yong will be yours, and I will spare Gu Shi's life."
After saying this, he no longer looked at Murong Jingyan, turned around and strode away.
Murong Jingyan felt as if all his strength had been drained away.
She fell softly into the armchair.
After half a cup of tea.
He Xuan is back.
"Your Highness, King Xian has already left, leaving behind the inhuman Su Yong and taking away several people."
Obviously, the people taken away were the ones he arranged here.
Murong Jingyan looked listless, "He's gone, so what? Do you think I should beat drums and gongs to send him off?"
He Xuan was very confused about the relationship between Murong Jingyan and Fu Junjing.
Many times, even if the two of them were just talking about topics that involved the interests of their respective positions, they had never been as tense as they are now.
But...
Is it possible that Miss Shen is really that important in His Highness's heart?
He didn't dare ask.
"What are you still standing here for? Why don't you throw Su Yong to the back mountain?"
Murong Jingyan's words brought He Xuan back to his senses suddenly.
He didn't dare to say much and silently withdrew to make arrangements.
Until the evening.
Murong Jingyan just came back from the back mountain covered in blood.
Just finished taking a shower.
I heard He Hong report again.
"Prince Rong said he would wait for you in the front hall until you see him."
"Tell him to get out of here, and don't offend me and the Crown Princess."
It had only been a few days since Gu Shi's hand was broken, but instead of taking a good rest he ran here. He just wanted to play the victim and cry to Shen Muxi that he regretted it.
But no matter how much he planned, he didn't expect Shen Muxi to be still unconscious.
His so-called regret was just an excuse to make himself feel better because he was in such a bad situation now.
but.
Wrong is wrong.
Gu Shi brought that upon himself.
Regardless of whether Shen Muxi originally forgave Gu Shi or not, he would not interfere with Shen Muxi's thoughts.
at the moment...
He has no right to forgive on Shen Muxi's behalf.
He is not qualified to make Gu Shikong wait.
This is the past of both of them.
He does not participate or interfere.
Days pass by.
Late summer has passed in the blink of an eye.
Autumn is coming soon.
According to Murong Jingyan's original plan.
I should have left long ago when I reached a peaceful consensus with Fu Junjing.
But Shen Muxi still didn't wake up, and Fu Junjing had no intention of sending her away.
He stayed there with peace of mind.
He was already prepared for Shen Muxi to never wake up.
During this period, he asked He Hong to deliver a letter to Nan Yuan.
this day.
Fu Junjing went to Murong Jingyan again, wanting to repair their relationship, but was rejected by Murong Jingyan again.
He Xuan was confused. "Your Highness, King Xian was one of ours before. How come we are alienated from him now?"
Murong Jingyan's eyes were cold. "We were friends with him before because we had common interests. Now that we don't have common interests, there's naturally no need for too much communication."
Shen Muxi's serious injury made him see Fu Junjing's true character clearly.
He once thought that he and Fu Junjing were the same kind of people.
However, as the two of them became closer, he slowly discovered the differences between him and Fu Junjing.
Fu Junjing has no heart, so he can plot against his wife, children and friends.
In terms of governing the country, he was an excellent candidate for emperor.
However, he can't.
He has his own bottom line.
The two can still maintain their friendship now, but only because their starting points and interests are temporarily the same.
If they encounter a conflict in the future, Fu Junjing will definitely stab him in the back with a smile on his face at the first opportunity.
It seems that he is unwilling to say anything more.
After Murong Jingyan drank the medicine, he sent He Xuan to disrupt and rearrange the previous secret agents.
He Xuan left not long ago.
Xia Chan found Murong Jingyan with a happy look on her face, "Your Highness, Miss Shen has responded."
...
Shen Muxi felt like she had a very terrible nightmare.
In the dream, Su Yong had been beating her endlessly, with ferocious expressions constantly intertwining. She could no longer tell whether she was Shen Muxi or Shen Xi.
"You killed my wife and daughter. I will make Murong Jingyan and Gu Shi regret it for the rest of their lives."
"Don't think that just because your daughter is in Danyang, I can't touch her. Look at this."
Su Yong grinned and forced her to open her eyes and see clearly.
It was a bloody human skin.
"what--"
Shen Muxi screamed and raised his hand to hit the person in front of him.
She waved her hand with great force, but was caught by a strong hand.
"Shen Muxi, it's me."
A familiar and reassuring voice came.
Only then did Shen Muxi slowly open his eyes.
The person in front of me had a pale face and thin cheeks.
He looked like he had lost a lot of weight, but his sparkling eyes were surprisingly bright when he looked at her.
"Murong..."
She had just said two words when she was frightened by her own hoarse voice.
Her throat was dry and painful, she pursed her cracked lips, "Water..."
Murong Jingyan quickly handed the warm water to Shen Muxi's mouth.
As the warm water flowed down his throat, Shen Muxi felt alive again and looked around carefully.
"This is..."
"It's still in the palace."
Murong Jingyan patiently explained.
Before she fell into a coma, she was extremely traumatized. Now he didn't dare to raise his voice when speaking, for fear of scaring her.
Shen Muxi's head was still groggy at first.
It was not until Murong Jingyan reminded her that this was a palace that she remembered what she had experienced before she fell into a coma.
His whole body was tense like a fully drawn bow.
"Su Yong..."
Murong Jingyan held her in his arms and patted her gently, "It's okay, Su Yong is dead."
She was still worried, "That man is very cunning..."
"There will be no more Miao Saintess to help him. In fact, the Hui Saintess and those who once cooperated with him are all pro-war factions. However, the new Hui Khan does not like war, so after receiving Fu Junjing's letter, he took the pro-war traitors back and dealt with them himself."
Immediately afterwards, Murong Jingyan told Shen Muxi again what happened when she was unconscious.
During the period of house arrest, Prince Rong led his troops out of the palace without permission. The emperor was furious and stripped Gu Shi of his title of Prince Rong.
Pei Wang didn't know how, but when he was investigating a murder case, he found out that the murderer had gone to the harem. The emperor was furious and banished him to the Jiangnan region.
Murong Jingyan wanted to continue speaking.
As soon as Gu Shi's name was mentioned, Shen Muxi interrupted him with a tired look on his face.
"I'm tired."
"It was my negligence," Murong Jingyan carefully helped her lie down, "You've just recovered from a serious illness, so you'll be tired. Rest well first, and don't worry about anything else."
Perhaps it was because Murong Jingyan was by her side that made her feel extremely at ease.
This time, Shen Muxi felt particularly at ease.
As soon as my head touched the soft pillow, my eyelids closed unconsciously, and then I fell into a deep sleep.
Gu Shi looked at her peaceful sleeping face and finally let out a breath.
A huge weight was lifted off my mind.
...
Ever since Shen Muxi woke up, the entire palace was filled with joy.
After a few days of careful rest.
She was able to get down to the ground safely.
Ever since Murong Jingyan mentioned Gu Shi when he just woke up and was interrupted by Shen Muxi, he never mentioned Gu Shi again.
Shen Muxi couldn't help but be curious.
After all, Murong Jingyan would not mention someone for no reason.
After drinking the medicine Murong Jingyan handed over, she finally couldn't help but ask, "Where is Gu Shi now?"
Murong Jingyan lowered his eyes, "He is still in bed."
Bedridden?
Shen Muxi frowned slightly, "Is he sick?"
Logically, her poison shouldn't keep Gu Shi bedridden for the time being.
Is there any variable?
"Do not."
Murong Jingyan shook his head.
He added to what he had told her before.
Ever since Su Yong died.
Gu Shi has lost his last bit of usefulness.
Pei Wang submitted the evidence that Gu Shi had falsely claimed the credit for other people's work.
The current emperor was so furious that he died on the spot.
King Xian ascended the throne and became the new emperor.
Perhaps it is to highlight his own benevolence.
Therefore, Gu Shi was not executed.
Instead, he took back the Prince Rong's Mansion, which had not been taken back before, and dismissed him from his official position.
Now, he lives in a dilapidated house outside Beijing.
When Wang Ying returned with news about Gu Xiaoxiao, the Rong County Prince's Mansion had already fallen apart.
He was a loyal man. He knew that Gu Shi was in a bad state but still stayed with him. No matter how much he scolded him, he wouldn't leave.
"okay, I get it."
Shen Muxi raised his head and drank the last bowl of medicine, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
She's been unconscious for so long, it's time to help her out.
...
Outside the dilapidated earthen house.
A one-armed, hunched figure was struggling to draw water.
Gu Shi finally brought up half a bucket of water and saw the wellhead, but unexpectedly his grip loosened and he almost fell in again.
A slender white hand tightly grasped the handle.
"Thank you, thank you..."
The moment he saw who was coming, he swallowed back all the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
Turn around and leave.
"Gu Shi."
Shen Muxi called him softly.
