Chapter 269
It was already dark by the time he walked out of the Night Pavilion. Although Ye Yizhi wanted Shang to stay there for a while longer, he still left the Night Pavilion and came to a room next to his sleeping quarters. As expected, he smelled the rich smell of medicine the moment he entered.
The sound of the door opening alerted Dauntless, who was busy arranging his things. But when she walked out of the room, she saw that Shang had knelt down all of a sudden and kowtowed with a loud bang, but soon enough, she saw wounds and blood trickling out of Dauntless’s delicate and pretty forehead.
Shang didn’t dare to act rashly. He rushed over after hearing the noise, but was shocked to see that his head was bleeding. He stealthily glanced at the crown prince, only to discover that there was nothing in his eyes. However, it was precisely because there was nothing that made him feel fear.
“Where is he?” The word ‘no end’ made Dauntless stop his act of self-abuse. He raised his head and looked at the crown prince who was standing in front of him and suddenly cried. What she feared most was not punishment but abandonment. Although the Crown Prince didn’t say it aloud, but after following the Crown Prince for so long, he could tell that the Crown Prince was being lenient and protective towards him. At this moment, Dauntless felt that his anxious heart had finally calmed down, and when he thought of the scene where the Crown Prince saved him, he suddenly felt safe even though she was younger than him.
She stood up fearlessly. The crown prince’s actions made her feel relieved. She was really afraid that the crown prince would kill her or abandon her. Although she wouldn’t disobey the crown prince’s orders, she still had feelings of sisterhood.
“He is being held in a secret prison in the Crown Prince’s Palace!” Fearless replied.
“Get her into the garden and treat her wounds. As my servant girl, even if she is hurt, she will wipe my tears clean!” Being wounded in love was a type of pain, and being hurt in the midst of love was a type of suffering that was not to be blamed by Shang. After all, no matter how meticulous and experienced Fearless was, he was still just a woman who had never experienced love before; after this event, she believed that Fearless would grow up to be even more fearless.
When Steward Hai received the news that the crown prince was safe and came to visit, he saw that the garden was very luxuriant, but the youth sitting there dressed in black was all alone in this world. Steward Hai frowned and suddenly felt his heart ache, but at this time, he saw that several young masters had arrived one after another and started laughing at him.
“They’re all here?” Shang was not in the mood to look at the five men standing there, he felt that the crown prince’s residence had too few disciples. He had only been in the garden for a short while, but these people had received the news quickly, and there were not a few of them.
The five of them sat at the same table as Shang Wuxin, not knowing whether it was a coincidence or not when this pavilion was built, but it happened to be built with six chairs, and the maidservants immediately went to get some tea and other things, and then immediately retreated. The maidservants in the crown prince’s mansion, if they were not smart enough to survive for long, then the maidservants in the crown prince’s mansion would not covet them, much less look them in the eye.
Ye Yi Zhe got up and brewed some tea for Shang Wuxin. After thinking for a while, he brewed some tea for everyone. Ye Yi Zhe thought about it very simply. He felt guilty about what had happened, but even though the men were worried about Shang’s safety, they did not make things difficult for him. Everyone was thinking the same thing ¨C he should brew a cup of tea.
The few of them accepted the teacup and understood each other’s thoughts. Now that Ye Yi Zhe had recovered his black hair, they also understood a little bit. Ye Yi Zhe used the tea as a cup of wine to say to Nangong Qian, “Thank you!” The other men also had grateful expressions on their faces when Ye Yi Zhe had such thoughts.
This was because they knew that this man would definitely protect Shang unintentionally, even if it was them, they would definitely be able to protect him with their lives.
Nangong Qian sipped a cup of tea without any pride, “No need, this is what I should do!” His heart, his mind, his actions. He knew better than he himself that he could not let go of this woman’s hand.
“Crown Prince, we’ve arrived!” Fearless came to Shang’s side and reported. Even with the wounds on his forehead and his hands tied, he regained his wits. His eyes were much more steady than before.
In the past, Fang Dongqing might not have been the most beautiful man, but he was also considered handsome. Now, however, he was incredibly thin, with multiple wounds on his skin, even his left eye. He looked no better than a beggar on the street. If it weren’t for the fact that he wanted to clean himself up, Fang Donqing would still be emitting a terrible stench.
After so many days of imprisonment, it was the first time Fang Donqing had seen him outside, but the person who did not want to see him was the crown prince. Seeing that the crown prince was safe and sound, Fang Donqing cast a fearless gaze toward him.
“Crown Prince!” Fang Donqing dropped to his knees.
Shang’s eyes turned towards Fearless, “Do you like this man?” His voice was cold. What do you want me to do? ” Shang’s unintentional action surprised everyone. No one expected Shang to care so much about the fearless mindset.
He looked fearlessly at Fang Donqing, who was kneeling on the ground. His voice was filled with absolute loyalty as he said, “I used to like him, but now I don’t feel anything at all!” The Crown Prince did things a servant wouldn’t dare to say too much, but the person who betrayed the Crown Prince ¡– should ¡– Kill! ”
A “kill” would not only cut off his unformed love for Dong Qing, but also her naive abandonment of him. On the other hand, Fang Dongqing was in disbelief. He didn’t think that such a gentle girl would look down on people’s lives like that, and that he and her had really admired each other before.
When he saw the fear in Fang Donqing’s eyes, he knew exactly what he was thinking. His bitter, bitter heart instantly grew calm. This man really didn’t suit her. Maybe what he liked was her disguise, and what she liked was the way he had pretended to be.
Shang unwittingly nodded his head, and then suddenly smirked sinisterly, “I heard that this person betrayed me because my parents were trapped. Someone, bring my husband’s parents here!” It was because Lin Jia Er and the rest had rescued Fang Dongqing’s parents and placed them under house arrest. However, these few days, Fang Dongqing thought that his parents were still in the hands of the Duke of Qing, and that his parents were no longer saved when his identity was revealed. He did not expect to hear such news.
Observing Fang Donqing’s secretly delighted gaze, Han Xuanhao smiled in disdain. He suddenly started to anticipate what would happen. He thought that Shang Wuxin would definitely not let him down, but the other men did not seem to have the same intentions as him.
After a while, an elderly couple was brought over by Lin Jia Er. The two fifty year olds didn’t understand why they were locked up, rescued, and then locked up again. Now, seeing so many people sitting in the garden, they were even more afraid. When the two old men saw their son in such a sorry state, their hearts ached even more. “Child, what happened to you?” “Who did this!?”
“Father, mother!” When Fang Donqing saw that his parents were unharmed, he let out a sigh of relief and kowtowed to the crown prince, “Crown Prince, it’s this official’s fault for making a thousand mistakes. Please release this official’s parents. This official will repay the crown prince for coming back alive!”
The smile on Shang’s face grew bigger and bigger, pointing his white fingers at Fearless, “Go, send these two elders into the garden. After all, this garden hasn’t been fertilised since it was built, it really makes me uncomfortable!”
“If Xin`er wants fertilizer, I can send it to you every day, but I can’t let it stain your eyes!” Han Xuanhao immediately said fawningly. They all knew what was planted in this garden. Although there were good medicines, there were also a lot of poison. The meaning of Shang’s unintentional decision to let Dauntless do it was self-evident.
Of course, Fearless knew what the crown prince meant, but he still went up to the two old men without any hesitation. The two old men still looked at Fearless with eyes wide open in fear, and Fang Donqing didn’t know what the crown prince meant, so he could only beg Fearless, “Fearless, I beg you!”
He threw the two old men into the garden, but after a while, he heard the wails of the two old men, and then he saw their faces start to turn blue. The two of them wanted to rush out of the garden from the pain, but Fearless stood outside the garden and kicked anyone who wanted to.
Ye Yi Zhe seriously looked at the two old men’s initial pain until their skin changed color. As a doctor, he was very interested in this situation. In his eyes, they weren’t two old men but two white rats.
Until the two old men died, Dreadless only stood there looking at Shang Wuxin with satisfaction. Fang Donqing had fought back from the beginning, but now he was completely numb to it. He had always been a filial person, and now that he saw his parents die in front of his eyes, the blow caused him to go wild with shock.
Shang Xin Xin stood up and walked over to Dreadless, taking out the dagger Dagger Dreadless had placed on him. Indeed ¡– No matter how calm and indifferent his fearless demeanor was, Shang Wuxin could still feel the tension in her body.
“Go!” Shang unwittingly patted Dreadless on the shoulder, placing the dagger in Dreadless’s hand. The dagger was not comparable to Shang’s dagger, but it was still a good weapon, very sharp.
Dreadless clenched his dagger and walked step by step toward Fang Donqing. He looked at the man he had once adored, then stabbed the dagger into Fang Donqing’s chest. Fang Donqing, on the other hand, didn’t fight back after seeing his parents die.
“I’m sorry!” He had betrayed the Crown Prince, who had shown him kindness, and had betrayed his love for Fang Dauntless. Now, he had no complaints about the outcome.
She held on to Fang Donqing’s corpse, which had slowly turned cold, and said, “It’s okay, because I don’t care about you anymore!”
