On the day of the granted marriage, the daughter of a general wept and was reborn!

"This, can't be done."

The shopkeeper forced a fawning smile, but underneath that smile, there was still a sense of fear.

Shen Wantang was too lazy to talk to him any more and directly stuffed the banknote into the shopkeeper's hand.

"That person's money is for helping others to avoid disaster. I'm not the kind of person who takes advantage of others. Just accept it, shopkeeper."

The shopkeeper had nothing to say and carefully accepted the banknote.

At that time, the doctor invited by Pei Qing happened to come in.

Pei Qing was about to go in, but was stopped by Cen Xiao.

"Sir, why can't I come in?"

Pei Qing raised his head, wanting an explanation.

Cen Xiao responded coldly: "When it's your turn to come in, I'll call you in."

"This young man, what a serious injury he has sustained!"

Just by taking the patient's pulse, the doctor was terrified and even his voice trembled slightly.

"All his internal organs are ruptured, and his pulse is extremely disordered. I'm afraid it will be difficult to save him!"

Having said that, the doctor stood up, picked up the medicine box beside him and was about to leave.

Cen Xiao blocked the doctor's way with a swift step, and looked him up and down with contempt: "It is said that doctors have a kind heart, but you said that he can't be saved after just taking the patient's pulse. Are you a quack?"

"You!" Lang felt anxious and looked at Cen Xiao with gritted teeth, wanting to say something, but he was hindered by the fact that the person opposite him was an official.

"Man Jiangzhou, I am considered a skilled doctor. Now for this young man, I can only guarantee to stabilize his pulse. If you want to recover, please seek help from others!"

The doctor glared at Cen Xiao hatefully, then turned around, opened the box and took out the silver needle.

Sure enough, this method of provoking someone works well no matter who it is used on.

After the doctor inserted the needle, Chen Kangjian's face looked a little ferocious, and then his hands began to twitch.

When the silver needle was pulled out, Chen Kangjian spat out a mouthful of blood.

The face that had been pale just now also regained some color.

The doctor also breathed a sigh of relief.

"This gentleman is seriously injured and needs to rest. The medicinal materials..." The doctor sorted out his box.

Chen Kangjian, who was lying on the couch, frowned a little, and Shen Wantang and Cen Xiao hurried forward.

"He's awake now. If you want to ask something, hurry up and ask. If he falls asleep again, you don't know when he will wake up again. His vitality is greatly damaged, so he must rest well."

As he spoke, the doctor put on his medicine box and prepared to go out.

Qing'e quickly chased after him: "Sir, I'll take you there."

Chen Kangjian did as the doctor said. After a moment, he opened his eyes and murmured in a hoarse voice: "Ah Sheng, Ah Sheng..."

"Who is A Sheng?" Cen Xiao frowned in confusion.

"It's his former follower, the little scholar."

Shen Wantang spoke softly, and then a wave of confusion swept through her heart - when Chen Kangjian left, he also took this little scholar with him, so why didn't he take this scholar with him when he escaped?

"Ah Sheng!"

Chen Kangjian suddenly opened his eyes, and before he could recover from his shock, beads of sweat the size of green beans appeared on his forehead.

"Mr. Chen."

Shen Wantang called softly.

Chen Kangjian finally came back to his senses, his eyes fell on Shen Wantang and Cen Xiao, "Miss Shen, General Cen."

"I, I am... being chased! Someone is chasing me!"

After escaping death, Chen Kangjian struggled to get up before he could come to his senses.

Cen Xiao had no choice but to take a step forward and unceremoniously pushed Chen Kangjian onto the bed: "Just take a good rest. If the two of us were a step later, you would have been killed!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qing'e came in with a bowl of medicine in her hand.

After taking the medicine overnight, Chen Kangjian's confused eyes finally focused.

“Outside the mountain city, I could have hidden my identity and rested in the villa, but that day, many men in black broke into my house, and Ah Sheng was killed by the men in black to protect me.

"I fled eastwards and entered Jiangzhou, where I was able to settle down. However, I don't know where the group of men in black got the news about me. I had nowhere to hide, so I had to come to this crowded place."

Chen Kangjian sighed deeply, then raised his decadent eyes.

"Miss Shen, you saved my life again. Chen, I have no way to repay you."

Having said that, Chen Kangjian was about to stand up and salute, but the severe pain in his body prevented him from moving.

"No need to be so polite." Shen Wantang pressed down Chen Kangjian's hands repeatedly.

"Do you know who is chasing you?" Cen Xiao asked tentatively without saying it clearly.

Chen Kangjian's Adam's apple slid in hatred, and he spoke in a hoarse voice: "People from the Imperial Palace."

Shen Wantang and Cen Xiao looked at each other.

"After so many years, they still haven't given up. Ever since I was carried out of the capital, there have been waves of killers coming one after another." Chen Kangjian curled his lips, a helpless and sarcastic smile on his face.

The rebels had been strangled, and Chen Kangjian, a commoner, posed no threat to the imperial court.

Why do you have to strangle me like this?

Chen Kangjian raised his eyes and met the puzzled looks of the two people, his eyes were filled with a hint of gloom.

"Because I have the truth about how Ji Xunchuan killed Prince Duanxian!"

As soon as the words fell, the room fell into silence. Shen Wantang did not hold the cup firmly in his hand, and it fell to the ground and broke with a bang.

Everyone knew that Prince Duanxian died of smallpox. Besides, Ji Xunchuan was not in the capital at that time.

The late emperor even suspected the eldest prince.

"Mr. Chen, please be careful with your words and actions." Shen Wantang's eyes darkened, and then he opened his mouth to remind him.

Chen Kangjian raised his head, his eyes filled with resentment, not like he was telling a lie again: "If I didn't have evidence, the capital wouldn't send assassins over and over again."

"Back then, although Ji Xunchuan was not in the capital, his minions had already reached the Eastern Palace." Chen Kangjian's cold voice was chilling. "That year, many people in the capital got smallpox. It was also my fault. I neglected to investigate, and that's how those bastards took advantage of the situation and sneaked in."

"The prince's clothes came into contact with those of those who had smallpox, and he contracted smallpox the next day. The prince was already weak, and he died within a few days."

Having said this, Chen Kangjian's body trembled, his fists clenched, and a circle of blood was left on the corners of his lips from biting them.

At this moment, the pain in my body is not even one ten-thousandth of the pain in my heart.

He closed his eyes in despair, tears rolling down his thin cheeks.

Cen Xiao clenched his fists, but in front of Shen Wantang, he could only swallow his hatred.

It turned out that he had been seeking the throne since early on.

Yes, how could a cunning man like Ji Xunchuan come up with such a sudden idea?

Shen Wantang lowered her eyes, hating herself for still having hope in Ji Xunchuan.

"Miss Shen!" Chen Kangjian suddenly raised his head, feeling a little excited. "Back then, you hid the rebels, I didn't say anything, and I covered it up for you. Now, can you promise me one thing? Just one thing!"

She knew what Chen Kangjian was referring to, but...
