Chapter 239 Zhou Buyan, go and take revenge for me aboveboard
Shen Cangzhu ignored everyone's gazes and walked out of Jinhua Hall as usual, returning to Mingxuan Hall step by step, with his back straight.
It wasn't until he returned to the room that his body, which he was holding on to, collapsed.
"Sijun!" Baopu hugged him hurriedly, only to find that Shen Cangzhu's face was covered in cold sweat. He gritted his teeth tightly to prevent himself from losing control.
Baopu helped Shen Cangzhu to the bed. Just as he was about to tell the imperial doctor to take off his clothes, Shen Cangzhu pushed them away.
"Leave me alone, don't announce the imperial doctor."
He clutched his chest and huddled into a ball, letting himself be overwhelmed by regret.
From childhood to adulthood, he has always been smart and everything went smoothly. However, he is too proud and arrogant. He has always been strategizing and sure of victory.
But this time he failed, the only time, and he paid a heavy price.
He broke his promise and failed to do what he said.
After Shen Cangzhu left, Chu Xingchen lay quietly for a while, then cheered up and asked, "How did the investigation go?"
After a detailed investigation of the matter, it was found that it was planned by a few people for revenge. They were born as hunters and have been hunting in Feng'an City a few years ago. They are very responsible and have never made any mistakes.
It seemed that Chu Xingchen was unlucky enough to be involved in the incident. However, except for the one who was killed on the spot, the remaining two committed suicide out of fear of crime on the way back, including the leader.
After such a commotion, he had the opportunity to kill Qi Ming but did not kill him. In the end, it was Chu Xingchen who was injured. What kind of revenge was this?
Chu Xingchen smelled a conspiracy.
If this was arranged by Qi Ming, then he was really ruthless. In order to perform this play well, he would not hesitate to sacrifice dozens of his own people and include himself in the calculation.
Unfortunately, this was not enough. When it got dark, Chu Xingchen looked for Zhou Buyan and called twice but received no response.
"Where are you going?"
Zhou Buyan said he ordered Tianliu to go, and after he came back, he kept guarding her, never leaving her, and no matter how hard he looked for him, he disappeared.
After a while, Zhou Buyan hurried over and said, "Your Highness."
Chu Xingchen looked at him, "Didn't you say that you would always protect me, but you still refused to obey my orders? Why did you disappear so soon? Where have you been? Or where are you planning to go?"
Zhou Buyan's face was full of innocence, "I'm waiting to listen to His Highness's orders."
Chu Xingchen didn't believe it, "I can't think of any other reason for you to leave now except revenge. There's no need to be secretive. This time I'm going to give you a mission in an open and honest manner, and we'll give Qi Ming a big gift."
She doesn't care about the conspiracy, but she has harmed so many people, so she must pay back double the amount.
Qi Ming doesn't take human life seriously. His own people can be so calculating, but she can't.
Those were all living people, and she could still see their bloody appearance when she closed her eyes.
Why did he die just because of Qi Ming? So many people died. She must give them an explanation and give herself an explanation.
Qi Ming, who was listening to his subordinate's report, sneezed hard and looked even worse.
"Just clean it up, everyone can go and receive the punishment."
The people below knelt down and responded, not daring to make any rebuttal. This time things were unexpected, but in the end it didn't work out.
The few people who took action were indeed people who Shen Cangzhu helped, but they were also chess spies. Their miserable life experiences were all arranged. To prevent accidents, they had already made preparations to silence them.
This is a chess piece that has been deployed for more than ten years, but it was moved but failed to achieve the effect.
A hint of evil flashed in Qi Ming's eyes. He had killed so many people this time, but in the end, Chu Xingchen was not dead, and Luo Wan'er couldn't even think about it.
Fortunately, we succeeded in driving a wedge between the Chu royal family and the Shen family. The Shen family was also a major concern for the Qi State. We finally succeeded in getting rid of Shen Cangzhu.
It's just that... they may have noticed it.
Qi Ming pondered for a moment and then ordered, "Have someone protect General Qin. If something happens to General Qin at this time, we will be in trouble."
"If something happens to the great lady of Chu, it is not appropriate to cause trouble."
"yes."
The subordinate went down, Qi Ming touched the purse hanging on his waist, his eyes showed reluctance.
Qi Ming has known Luo Wan'er since he was a child. Luo Wan'er looks cold but is the most gentle. He has liked her since he was a child.
It's a pity that Luo Waner likes Shen Cangzhu. The Shen and Luo families are family friends. Although they haven't decided yet, they all know that Luo Waner and Shen Cangzhu will get married when they grow up.
Qi Ming has always been able to stay aside and occasionally follow Luo Waner.
It wasn't until Shen Cangzhu entered the East Palace that Qi Ming found an opportunity and spent countless efforts to finally settle on the marriage. However, he never thought that he would be found out for sabotaging the imperial examination just before marrying Luo Wan'er.
It was only one step away. Qi Ming was very upset but tried his best to promote the marriage.
But Luo Waner was unwilling. He knew that Luo Waner didn't agree, firstly because she didn't want to go to Qi State, and secondly because she didn't love him, and she might still have Shen Cangzhu in her heart.
In order to force her to agree, to make her give up, and to get rid of Chu Xingchen, Qi's biggest enemy, Qi Ming and his group planned this incident.
Chu Xingchen must be eliminated. This person is the biggest hidden danger now. If he can get rid of Chu Xingchen, he will have made a great contribution. When he returns, he will be able to establish a foothold in the Qi royal family and become the most advantageous contender for the throne.
In order to clear the suspicion, he used himself as bait, paid the price of injury, and attached dozens of people, just to let Luo Wan'er see clearly who liked her the most.
In such a scenario, the person who is abandoned will definitely give up, and his goal will be achieved.
But no matter who Shen Cangzhu chooses, Chu Xingchen will die.
Qi Ming was reluctant to hurt Luo Waner and never thought of killing her, but Shen Cangzhu didn't know, Luo Waner didn't know, and no one knew.
He could kill Chu Xingchen, who was his big worry, and take away his sweetheart, and he could also blame Shen Cangzhu and destroy Shen Cangzhu's family, killing three birds with one stone.
If it succeeds, the death of the concubine and the loss of the Shen family will definitely cause civil strife in Da Chu. After a lot of planning, Shen Cangzhu acted unreasonably and completely broke Qi Ming's plan.
Shen Cangzhu actually chose Luo Waner, but Chu Xingchen didn't die either.
Qi Ming was feeling annoyed when suddenly a gust of wind blew and all the lights in the room were extinguished.
A chill ran down Qi Ming's spine, and he instantly felt danger. He was about to call someone, but was suddenly stopped from behind and his mouth was blocked at the same time.
Amidst the constant sounds of fighting and voices asking about his safety, Qi Ming was tied up in the dark and then hung up.
He didn't know who the other party was because it was too dark, but he only felt that the other party's movements were extremely skilled, fast and ruthless.
The moment he was hung up, Qi Ming thought he was sent by Chu Xingchen to take revenge, but the next second he heard the voice coming from outside with a Qi accent.
Although I tried my best to imitate the Dachu accent and Feng Ancheng's accent, I can still hear the clues.
Are they from Qi? Qi Ming's eyes were full of hatred. Not surprisingly, one of his brothers really did it this time.
While he was resentful, his hand was suddenly broken.
With his mouth gagged, he whimpered and struggled wildly in pain. As a result, it hurt whenever he moved, and his hands, feet, and body soon began to hurt.
It took Qi Ming a moment to realize that it seemed like someone had scratched him with a knife, and the painful area might be a wound.
His complexion changed drastically and he stopped struggling, but the wounds did not stop. In a short period of time, he suffered countless wounds, too many to count. The countless pains gathered together, and the pain was so maddening.
He gradually smelled the blood on his body and felt the dampness of his clothes.
It was blood, and the person who did it was very experienced. He made his body covered with wounds and made him suffer so much that he wanted to live, but he would not let him die.
Qi Ming was panicking, fearing that he would slowly bleed to death.
