She is a heartthrob who wants to live a good life

Chapter 248 Green Tea Selfish Cousin 17

Xie Wanheng also saw that he was holding on, and couldn't help but sneered:

"Your Highness should rest up first before trying to imitate others in saving the damsel in distress. Is it because you haven't completely detoxified yourself that you have problems with your eyes?"

"It was you who broke in and frightened Miss Shen, so I subconsciously protected her, but you threw dirty water on me instead."

Yan Qizhao threw the broken sword to the ground without paying any attention to him. Instead, he comforted the girl softly:

"Don't be afraid, Miss Shen. I am here, and no one dares to threaten you. Tell me, did Xie Wanheng bully you?"

Shen Weicang lowered her head. Before she could speak, Xie Wanheng spoke up for her:

"Your Highness, I have explained it, but you don't believe it. Do you really want to force Cang Cang to admit that she was bullied? What good will this do for you?"

Yan Qizhao already had a nameless anger running through his body, and upon hearing his provocation, he suddenly shouted, "Shut up!"

Shen Weicang was frightened. She seemed unable to bear the atmosphere in the room any longer. She broke free from Xie Wanheng's arms with tears streaming down her face, and stood in front of him with her arms outstretched.

"Your Highness, please do not blame Wan Heng. This is my fault. It is all my fault. It has nothing to do with Wan Heng."

She looked at Yan Qizhao aggrievedly, then lowered her head hastily, and said with determination: "Your Highness, it's all because of me... I seduced Wan Heng..."

Saying this had exhausted all her courage, and her legs went limp and she fell to the ground. Xie Wanheng and Yan Qizhao were horrified and reached out their hands to catch her.

Xie Wanheng took the lead, picked up the unconscious girl by the waist, gave Yan Qizhao a sharp look, and carried Shen Weicang to the inner room.

Yan Qizhao withdrew his hand and clenched it into a fist, then raised his feet and followed in.

"What happened to Cang Cang?"

Xie Wanheng sat by the bed and felt the pulse with her jade hands. When she heard Yan Qizhao's voice, she didn't even raise her head and said unhappily:

"Your brain isn't working well, and your eyes are blind, so can't you see? Cang Cang fainted from being frightened by you!"

Yan Qizhao leaned over to take a closer look at her face, then reached out his hand to touch her, but Xie Wanheng quickly pushed him away:

"Your Highness just now kept saying that others were lechers, why are you doing such frivolous things now?"

The pale, slender fingers curled up slightly, but eventually they were retracted.

Yan Qizhao laughed sarcastically:

"There's no need to beat around the bush between you and me. Just tell me what happened tonight. I don't believe that Cang Cang would come to your yard in the middle of the night for no reason."

Xie Wanheng confirmed that Shen Weicang fainted due to anger, then he covered her with the quilt and stood up.

He glanced at Yan Qizhao, then walked across the screen and returned to the outer room.

"Your Highness is so powerful that you can enter the general's mansion in the middle of the night as if you were in an empty place. It's just a small matter, you can easily find it out by yourself, do you still need me to report it one by one?"

Xie Wanheng sat down at the table, and Yan Qizhao also lifted his robe and sat down.

Shen Weicang slowly opened his eyes, heard the two people's deliberately lowered voices, and a smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.

"If you hadn't forced me..."

Xie Wanheng threw the amulet on the table before Yan Qizhao finished speaking: "Your Highness has grown up in the palace and has seen a lot. I'm sure you are familiar with this method."

Yan Qizhao only then realized where the abnormality in his body came from. His face became even gloomier: "Who wants to harm her?"

Xie Wanheng flicked the amulet onto the ground with his fingers, then he lifted up his black boots and stepped on it again.

His face was nonchalant, but his tone was particularly gloomy: "It's Lan, my good stepmother."

"Lan?" Yan Qizhao narrowed his eyes. He couldn't help but recall the time when he first met Shen Weicang in his previous life. It seemed to be in Zhenguo Temple.

He was seriously injured in an assassination attempt and was hidden by Shen Weicang.

Later he found out that on that day, the Lan family had colluded with bandits to assassinate Shen Weicang, but they happened to run into him when he was attacked, and the bandits were killed by the assassin.

Thinking of this, Yan Qizhao's heart skipped a beat. He couldn't accept that such a thing happened to the person he loved.

Xie Wanheng didn't say much, and drove him away expressionlessly:

"Your Highness is so weak, you should go back and recuperate quickly, otherwise if something happens in my courtyard, His Majesty will blame me, and I cannot bear the blame."

Don't think he can't see that the injury must not be spread to others and he must recuperate in Xie's house. When Yan Qizhao saw Cang Cang in broad daylight, he couldn't take his eyes off him.

He just wanted to find an opportunity to get close to Cang Cang.

Yan Qizhao had almost guessed the cause of the incident, and his expression became more and more severe:

"You let her harm Cang Cang like this. If I hadn't come just now, would you have planned to make the best of a bad situation and really tricked Cang Cang into doing something improper to her?"

"What I want to do has nothing to do with you," Xie Wanheng said bluntly, "If you hadn't suddenly barged in, how could she have fainted from being scared by you? You are the one who shirks responsibility."

Yan Qizhao warned him:

"Since you have already had an affair with Tan Wu Ning, you should stop messing with other girls. If I find you touching Cang Cang again, I will chop off your dog paws."

Xie Wanheng laughed when he heard this: "Me and Tan Wuning? Did you hear that from Tan Yuan?"

He didn't think much about it, just thought that Tan Yuan had told Yan Qizhao about how Tan Wu Ning had stopped him by Lianchun Lake today, and couldn't help but drag this sinister villain into it:

"Do you think he's really for you? He gave that stupid snake to Cang Cang and followed her closely all day long. You must know the connection between that snake and Tan Yuan, right?"

Yan Qizhao remained calm, but in fact, a huge wave of emotion was rising in his heart.

Tan Yuan is a despicable villain. The snake is connected to his emotions. He can sense the people and things around the snake. He has such a despicable intention in giving the snake to Cang Cang'an. Does he think others don't know?

He stood up suddenly, his head was dizzy, and his hands were pressed tightly on the corner of the table.

Xie Wanheng mocked again: "Next time you want to imitate others to be a hero and save the beauty, first consider your own ability. Go back quickly and stop vomiting blood."

Yan Qizhao returned to the palace. As soon as he stepped into his courtyard, another guard came up to him in a hurry: "Your Highness, the Imperial Master is inside."

"Tanyuan?"

Disgust flashed in Yan Qizhao's eyes. He was just about to settle accounts with this hypocrite!

However, after entering the house, before he could start to question the culprit, a young man in dark blue brocade clothes sitting at the table froze him in place with just one word.

"You are so close to her, are you determined to marry her to solve your predicament?"

The burning excitement in his heart that had been burning since day seemed to be mercilessly extinguished by a basin of ice water, making Yan Qizhao feel powerless.

He uttered three words with difficulty: "I didn't."

Tan Yuan looked at him without getting up, his expression calm and his tone indifferent: "Whether you have plans to use her or not, I will not let you get what you want."

"If you don't hurt her, I can still find a way to keep you alive. If you set your sights on her, I'm not sure what I will do."

After Tan Yuan left, Yan Qizhao was silent for a long time, and finally laughed at himself miserably. He didn't expect that his new life would be worse than his previous one.

Tan Wuning lay in bed, also tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

Ever since she met Shen Weicang today, she couldn't help but think back to her sad and ridiculous past life.

After she and Yan Qizhao fell in love at first sight at the New Year's Eve banquet, it didn't take long for Yan Qizhao to obtain an imperial decree to grant her marriage.

She was always immersed in a happy mood and never noticed anything was wrong.

For example, she is clearly the daughter of the Marquis of Pingnan, so why are the emperor and the empress so opposed to this marriage?

For example, she was clearly in good health and had never suffered any torture after marriage, so why did she become bedridden after seven years?

It's ridiculous that she was a confused person when she was alive and was deceived by Yan Qizhao's disguised love. She was still a confused person when she died and could not see his true face at all.

Until she turned into a ghost and floated out of the bedroom, she saw Yan Qizhao confirming her death to the maid with an expressionless face, without any tenderness on his face.

"died?"

The maid bowed respectfully and said, "Your Highness, the Crown Princess has... passed away."

She thought he would show a look of pain and collapse, but Yan Qizhao just nodded calmly and told the steward with an indifferent look:

"Handle the funeral according to the rites of the Crown Princess, and arrange the marriage of Miss Shen as soon as possible."

As soon as she died, Yan Qizhao turned around and arranged to remarry in an orderly manner.
