The Evil Emperor's Favorite: The Sickly and Poisonous Concubine Goes Crazy

After a long time, Su Jingning slowly pushed Gu Yan'an away, his eyes reddened, and he looked at Gu Yan'an's left chest with wet eyes. He raised his hand and touched it lightly, then retracted it, his eyes full of heartache, and whispered:

"Does your injury...still hurt?"

Gu Yan'an stared at her, the tenderness and affection in his eyes almost overflowed, his mind was filled with the look on Su Jingning's face when he said he loved him, how could he feel the pain of the wound? Besides, he had suffered many such injuries since he was a child.

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt." The voice was gentle and low.

Looking at his slightly pale face and calm demeanor, Su Jingning frowned slightly: "How can it not hurt? You lost so much blood."

Gu Yan'an took in all her worries, and his heart felt as warm as a spring day. With a smile in his eyes, he reached out and gently stroked the loose hair on Su Jingning's cheek, and said softly:

"This injury is nothing to me. Don't worry. You've been in a coma for three days and finally woke up. You need to rest well and don't worry. Okay?"

After saying that, he helped Su Jingning lie down, and then carefully tidied her bedding.

Su Jingning looked at the man with an enchanting face. In her previous life, she always thought that he was cold and heartless, a cold-blooded person. It turned out that after living again, she saw the tenderness and warmth in his eyes towards her.

"Ayan."

"Well, what's wrong?" Gu Yan'an had just straightened Su Jingning's quilt. When he heard Su Jingning calling him A Yan, he couldn't help but feel happy. He looked up at her, and even couldn't hide the joy in his voice.

"Nothing, I just wanted to call you." Su Jingning was wrapped in a light pink mattress, looking at Gu Yan'an with smiling eyes and sparkling eyes, her voice warm and soft.

Gu Yan'an squatted beside her bed, looked into her eyes, and gently rubbed her fluffy hair. He looked at her lovingly, "Go to sleep. I'll watch you sleep. I'll leave when you fall asleep."

Su Jingning nodded obediently and closed his eyes.

Gu Yan'an looked at the girl's gentle face and felt a satisfaction and peace of mind he had never felt before.

Beiyang Palace.

Mo You had just received Liu Feng's letter and wanted to report something to his master, but his master had gone to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and had not returned yet.

"Master! You are finally back."

Looking at the figure walking down the corridor, Mo You hurried forward with a hurried look and almost bumped into Gu Yan'an.

Could it be that Gu Yan'an was in a good mood today? His tone was much more cheerful.

"You're in such a hurry. Is there a ghost behind you? Come in and tell me."

After saying that, he went into the study.

"Master, Liu Feng said that the old prince is going back to the Imperial Capital. He just left the palace three days ago."

Gu Yan'an paused while pouring the water, and the water almost spilled out. He turned to look at Mo You:

"Why would the old man suddenly come to the Imperial Capital? He doesn't know that I'm injured, right?"

"The old prince said that he hasn't been back to the capital for a long time and wanted to come back to visit. The old prince hasn't told us about the master's injury yet."

"Who is accompanying you?" Gu Yan'an nodded and asked in a deep voice.

"Liu Feng said that the old prince did not allow anyone to follow him, and only brought a team of personal guards."

Gu Yan'an lowered his head and thought for a while. He didn't know what he thought of. The corner of his mouth raised slightly. The old man came back at the right time.

"Send some people to pick him up tomorrow and take him directly back to the capital. Don't let him sneak off to drink with his old friends again."

Mo You was stunned for a moment. Why did the master seem to want the old prince to return to the capital as soon as possible? Didn't he always dislike the old prince for being too long-winded? Every time the old prince went out of the northern border to visit old friends, the master wished that the old prince would stay a few more days before coming back.

"Ah? Go pick up the old prince?"

"Well, let's go tomorrow, and come back soon." Gu Yan'an shook the teacup, unable to hide the joy between his eyebrows.

"Oh yes!"

Mo You looked up at Gu Yan'an in surprise. Why did he feel that his master was a little abnormal today? Why did he seem to be in such a good mood? Could it be because Miss Su Er woke up? He shook his head and walked out.

The next day, at the Duke Zhenguo’s Mansion.

"Miss, I have found out something about what you told me yesterday."

An Xia was dressed in a emerald green outfit, with a dashing look on her face, and spoke softly to Su Jingning.

Su Jingning, wearing a white fox cloak, leaned against the bed and handed the medicine bowl to Yun Qing.

"What did you find?"

"I followed the young lady's instructions and investigated General Cheng Shu. General Cheng Shu is indeed upright and loyal, and is trusted by His Majesty. However, his son has not learned any of General Cheng's qualities. He is a gambler who has been hanging around in prostitutes for many years. He is a rich young man who is completely uneducated. I heard that he committed a crime in Zuichunlou not long ago and accidentally killed a good citizen in public. He was imprisoned in Jingzhaosi and should have been hanged according to the law. However, someone suppressed the matter, and General Cheng's son Cheng Shi was only sent to the Cheng family's private residence not far from the outskirts of Beijing. I checked and found that the person who suppressed the matter was not General Cheng. I think someone may have helped General Cheng."

After listening to this, Su Jingning thought for a moment, then raised his head and said to An Xia in a cold voice:

"Send someone to secretly lock up Cheng Shi and find a smarter person to replace him. Don't let anyone notice anything. Continue to have people keep an eye on Cheng Shu and the Cheng Mansion day and night. If someone helps him in this matter, he will definitely be exposed." Although General Cheng Shu is an upright man, as a father, he cannot just sit back and do nothing when his son has committed such a life-threatening crime.

"Yes."

An Xia turned and walked out.

Not long after she went out, Su Jingchen and Su Jingmo walked in.

"Ningning? Are you awake? How do you feel?" Su Jingmo asked with concern as he looked at Su Jingning who looked sick.

"Much better, big brother, why is second brother here?" Su Jingning motioned Yun Qing to go down and replied softly.

"I was in the Dali Temple yesterday and didn't have time to see you. I came to see you today. Don't worry, your second brother will definitely avenge you. Damn Shen Zhiyi! How dare he plot against you." Su Jingmo said gritting his teeth, his eyes full of resentment.

"Is Luodong still in Dali Temple?" Su Jingning looked at Su Jingchen and asked.

"Well, early this morning, people from the Dali Temple went to the Duke Qing's Mansion and took Shen Zhiyi to the Dali Temple. Although Luo Dong was instructed by Shen Zhiyi to harm you, he will not be able to get out of the Dali Temple without suffering a heavy loss. As for Shen Zhiyi, even if the Duke Qing's Mansion protects her, she will not be able to escape from this matter." Su Jingchen's voice was a little cold, and he hated the people in the Duke Qing's Mansion very much.

"What's hateful is that Shen Zhiyi has refused to admit that she bribed a killer to kill you since she went in." Su Jingmo said angrily.
