Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife Chapter 558: Tense to the Extreme

Chapter 558: Tense to the Extreme

He originally thought that after his master heard these words, a violent storm would immediately descend, and afterwards, return to the manor first thing. As for them, it was naturally slowly dealing with later. After all, in comparison, all of them added together still wouldn’t be nearly as important as a single finger of w.a.n.gfei’s. Guard Qian expressed that he was already prepared, regardless whether it was now or later———-w.a.n.gfei suddenly meeting with mishap, thus getting blamed by master, it couldn’t be more normal. However, things seemingly were a bit off. How come there was no movement?

Guard Qian, who had his head lowered, carefully lifted his eyes to peek at his master. It was better to not look, because this glance practically made him lose his soul. They all knew that master was a bit off lately. When in front of w.a.n.gfei, he would still do his best to restrain and cover up, but towards them, it wasn’t the same. To have not exploded, it was already pretty good.

At this very moment, that appearance was just a complete demon G.o.d. Everything else aside, just that pair of eyes, it was already more than enough to make one’s leg shake uncontrollably, the heart madly beating, seemingly about to get killed in the next moment.

For people like them, it’s not like they’ve never seen their own master’s ruthless and violent side before. Sometimes, it was even like as if losing his rationality. That level of terrifying, never mind approaching within thirty feet, it was just wanting to run away as far as possible. Just, other people were able to, but they can’t. Of course, others normally won’t be able to see that kind of scene. However, Guard Qian felt that compared to now, the past seemingly wasn’t enough to look at. Clearly, he hadn’t done anything yet. ———–What Guard Qian didn’t know was that if he’d witness Li Hong Yuan ma.s.sacring the entire imperial palace in the past life, personally slaughtering Le Cheng Emperor, then his reaction probably won’t be this big.

“What do you mean unconscious and unable to wake? Explain clearly for this prince.” Li Hong Yuan’s voice was actually still the same as usual, not having any fluctuations.

Just, in Guard Qian’s ears, that wasn’t like a human’s voice, but rather coming from the depths of purgatory. Guard Qian strangely sensed a cold and sinister air coming from all sides, even carrying a bit of stickiness, endlessly penetrating into the bones from the surface of the body, able to turn into ice shards at anytime, and in the next moment, just explode without leaving the slightest trace.

Guard Qian strived to control himself, else he would lose his bearing.

“Replying to master, after you left the manor this morning, even when time came, all didn’t see w.a.n.gfei get up. The people by w.a.n.gfei’s side worried whether something was wrong, yet afterwards, no matter what, all were unable to have w.a.n.gfei waken. Gong mama first took w.a.n.gfei’s pulse, not discovering any problems, but she also felt that perhaps her own medical skills were lacking, thus called over the former manor doctor, yet the results were the same, not discovering anything wrong with w.a.n.gfei. From the pulse, it just indicated that w.a.n.gfei was sleeping. Shortly after, Gong mama sent this subordinate to the estate to ask master for instructions.”

As Guard Qian spoke, even if having entered winter, his sweat still drenched his palms and back.

He was waiting, waiting for Li Hong Yuan to break out.

“Return to the capital.” Li Hong Yuan didn’t say or do anything more, directly heading out of the estate in large strides. One has to know, for the sake of letting Jing Wan be able to sleep peacefully at night, he specially had the matters arranged during the day. Even if in this way, there will be a very large risk of getting discovered, at this time, he increasingly didn’t care.

How could Guard Qian dare to slight, swiftly calling someone to prepare the horse, and then went to get Gong Jiu.

As such, the person interrogating Yao Rao also learned of this matter. Even if not seeing Li Hong Yuan’s current state, it was still like as if falling into an ice pit. Speaking of which, they’ve long disregarded their own life and death, yet at this time, they still prayed for w.a.n.gfei to be fine, further hoping that this isn’t human-caused, else regardless whether it’s the perpetrator or them, not a single one will have a good end. The former naturally can’t be forgiven for their crimes, and for them, it was clearly just having failed to protect their master.

The shadow guards although can’t openly return to the capital, but w.a.n.gfei’s matter certainly will require them to take action. Yao Rao and whatnot naturally got tossed aside.

——–Just, this place, the servants of the estate naturally won’t dare to set foot in easily, and Yao Rao was tied up, so whether or not she can live really depended on luck——see whether or not someone will come save her, or perhaps get remembered by the people of Jin Qinw.a.n.g Manor. Of course, as a spy, the ones that were still alive naturally wasn’t just her alone. The others similarly face the possibility of starving to death.

However, regardless whether it was Yao Rao or the others, they actually all didn’t have anymore use. Otherwise, for better or worse, as the living Enma’s shadow guards, they won’t lose their propriety along with, completely disregarding. They would at least have their tails cleaned up nicely. To just let go like this, aside from these people not having anymore use, it was just that right now, they also didn’t care whether or not they will be exposed.

Directly spurring the horse to full speed, the living Enma personally opened up a path———even if the others wanted to help open the path, they were completely unable to catch up to Li Hong Yuan. Arriving on the official road, those that noticed the disturbance quickly got out of the way, and those that didn’t notice, they can only give in to their own bad luck. Getting sent flying was light, and dying under the hooves——–alright, for the time being, such a nasty situation still hadn’t appeared. Speaking of which, the living Enma has been reckless since childhood, and the number of times he spurred the horse also weren’t few, but in the past, even if causing a mess, causing an accident, the people that suffered such an absurd disaster merely just got insignificant scratches, completely different from this time.

TN: All

At the city gates, the gate guard wanted to have the person stopped out of duty. As a result, Li Hong Yuan’s whip directly just waved over, using more than a hundred percent of his strength, directly having the person whipped to the point where the flesh blossomed, seeing the ghastly white bone. That face felt just like getting slashed with the blade, even the head practically was about to split in half.

This kind of situation, didn’t it precisely have everyone all startled. However, after someone made out who that was, they were all as silent as cicadas in winter, not even daring to be angry. Speaking of which, on Li Hong Yuan, such a vicious matter has never happened before in the past. However, in these people’s impression, the living Enma doing this kind of thing seemingly wasn’t strange.

Li Hong Yuan returned to the manor. At the same time climbing down the horse, the whip also got tossed aside as he headed towards the main courtyard in large strides.

Regarding Jing Wan’s matter, clearly, it still hasn’t spread throughout the manor. When the servants saw Li Hong Yuan, they just customarily bowed. Li Hong Yuan’s feet carried wind, but his steps weren’t disorderly, his clothing also neat and tidy, unable to make out anything wrong. And because his pace was fast, they weren’t able to sense the terrifying air on Li Hong Yuan in time, thus still not knowing the approaching storm.

In comparison, in the Elegant Haitang Residence, it was just a completely different scene. Jing Wan’s temperament was very good, and not strict towards the people below. That’s why, even if fearing Li Hong Yuan, under normal circ.u.mstances, while being sufficiently quiet, the place was nevertheless still full of human warmth. However, right now, there was a kind of deathly stillness. The people that didn’t have the qualifications to enter the room to serve, upon seeing Li Hong Yuan, cowered in fear, not daring to even breathe loudly, to the extent that they even forgot to greet him.

Inside the room, Gong mama, Jing Wan’s wet nurse, as well as the first rank servant girls by her side, all were present.

Li Hong Yuan immediately just saw at a glance Jing Wan peacefully sleeping on the bed, appearing really as if just asleep. Li Hong Yuan forcibly slowed his pace, and in this moment, Gong mama keenly sensed his constrained to the extreme emotions.

Li Hong Yuan sat down by the bed, grasping Jing Wan’s hand. It wasn’t cold. Just, the blue veins on the back of his hand clearly were already protruding, yet between his palm and Jing Wan’s hand, there was still a gap.

“Wan Wan, you’re really becoming more and more lazy. What time is it already, still not getting up?” His voice carried visible gentleness, just as affectionate and loving as usual. Just, that gaze truly terrifyingly dark.

Regardless of what Li Hong Yuan was like, Gong mama actually was never really scared of him, and can be considered one of the few exceptions. However, at this very moment, she nevertheless felt her back grow cold, her hands and feet all somewhat growing stiff along with.

Li Hong Yuan was still gently and softly trying to wake Jing Wan, not getting angry at the servants, and not calling for Gong Jiu.

How much he cares about Jing Wan, the people present all were very clear. That’s why, the more it was like this, the more it made one alarmed.

From near the bed, Gong mama silently walked to the doorway. At this time, she was probably the only one still able to forcibly move a little, even though her hands and feet were still stiff.

Sure enough, not long after, Gong Jiu and them hastily rushed over. From the looks of it, Li Hong Yuan seemingly appeared more easy-going than them.

Gong mama just pointed her head towards the inside at Gong Jiu, not saying anything. And Gong Jiu understood, not opening his mouth, directly going in. When Gong Jiu saw Li Hong Yuan, he paused in his steps. He clearly felt what Guard Qian had felt previously. Clenching his fist, he continued forward, “Master.”

Li Hong Yuan didn’t turn his head, changing directions and sitting by Jing Wan’s head. His five fingers lightly clenched a few times, like as if relaxing his overly tense fingers. Afterwards, he carefully had Jing Wan supported up, leaning on his body.

Gong Jiu didn’t dare to slight, going forward and carefully examining Jing Wan, shouldering an unprecedented pressure.

During the entire process, Li Hong Yuan all appeared very quiet, unprecedentedly quiet.

“Master, it’s sleep gu.” After examining Jing Wan, Gong Jiu subconsciously just came to a conclusion, not concealing and not hesitating, directly telling Li Hong Yuan.

Li Hong Yuan suddenly lifted his head, lifting his foot and kicking towards Gong Jiu.

Gong Jiu’s body flew backwards. The others seemingly even heard the sound of bone cracking. Gong Jiu landed on the ground, but his expression didn’t really change. Just, when getting up while holding his chest, he paused for a moment, looking at the blood leaking out from the side of his mouth. Afterwards, his throat moved, clearly having the great majority of the blood forcibly swallowed back.

To the side, Gong mama’s feet moved, but in the end, didn’t go forward to support. And at the doorway, Guard Qian and them frowned, but also didn’t move. As the two masters’ bedroom, under normal circ.u.mstances, they can’t even set foot in.

Wiping away the blood by his mouth, Gong Jiu got up, kneeling on one knee at a distance, slightly hanging his head.

He probably can understand the reason behind this kick. He clearly didn’t understand gu, yet at this time, just knew that this was an outcome brought about by gu. Not only so, it wasn’t sooner or later, but right when learning about gu’s existence, something bad happened.

Gong Jiu felt that if switched with him, he would also have suspicions. However, right now, he didn’t have anything to say for himself either.

“No cure?” Li Hong Yuan once again opened his mouth. Just, his tone was obviously much heavier.

“This subordinate is incompetent.” In this kind of situation, it practically made one feel even more helpless than not knowing.

“How does the sleep gu function, when it breaks out, have it all figured out clearly.” Li Hong Yuan swept a glance over everyone present, “If anything happens to w.a.n.gfei……….”

The following words, needless for Li Hong Yuan to say, they all knew what the consequences would be.

Li Hong Yuan lightly brushed the hair by Jing Wan’s temples, sliding down along her cheeks, and in the end, landing on Jing Wan’s lower abdomen. Afterwards, he just sensed something move under his palm. Unknown as to whether it was his imagination, the frequency in which the little guy moved seemingly was different from before, seemingly as if sensing his mother’s condition. Just, this actually proved that the sleep gu didn’t affect the child. When unable to wake Jing Wan no matter what, not having the slightest reaction towards his words and actions, the child’s movement, in a certain sense, gave Li Hong Yuan a bit of comfort. “Bring some food.”

At this time, naturally no one would be so stupid as to not know what kind of food Li Hong Yuan wanted.

Gong mama perhaps had already predicted Jing Wan’s possible situation, so had somewhat prepared previously. As such, a bowl of meticulously prepared porridge was very quickly brought over. Li Hong Yuan was sufficiently patient, little by little feeding Jing Wan by mouth.

In reality, prior to this, it’s not that Gong mama and them didn’t try to feed Jing Wan, but even if just thin porridge, using the spoon to feed, she simply was unable to swallow. Right now, seeing Jing Wan finally eat a little, they rather relaxed a breath. As for w.a.n.gye using this kind of method to feed, no one would feel it was embarra.s.sing and whatnot. At this time, who would care about this?

Soon after, Li Hong Yuan personally wiped Jing Wan’s face, was.h.i.+ng her hand. After staring at Jing Wan for a while, like as if recalling something, he had Gong mama bring over a book, having Jing Wan held in his arms, neither quickly nor slowly beginning to read.

Li Hong Yuan’s current state more or less made the servant girls somewhat confused. Something had happened to w.a.n.gfei, yet he didn’t seem all that worried. But, that something sleep gu, didn’t Doctor Gong say there’s no cure? Then, what exactly is going on?

However, as the people that have followed by Li Hong Yuan’s side for several years, they for the most part were aware of his current situation.

Right now, he appeared fine, but in reality, his nerves were already stretched to the extreme. That thread, the reason why it still hasn’t snapped was because he was forcibly enduring, because he was very clear, at this time right now, if he were to go mad, if he were to lose his rationality, the aftermath would just be even worse. Towards Jing Wan, there won’t be the slightest benefit, and instead, it would let certain people easily get what they want.
