Chapter 381 A useless person will only get in the way if he stays here!
In the early morning after the heavy rain, the green grass grows wildly and the fragrance is pleasant.
As soon as the morning market opened, the East and West markets were already crowded with people, and people on the streets and alleys were talking about the big events that happened yesterday.
The Fourth Prince's villa was robbed, the Princess's residence was robbed, and the two sons of the Grand Tutor's family were robbed on their way home...
"What's going on in Kyoto these days? Why are those royal relatives and nobles getting into trouble one after another?"
First, there was the incident at Prince Nanyu's Spring Breeze Banquet, then the tit-for-tat confrontation between Prince Nanyu and Prince Jin, which led to the downfall of countless officials, and now it's the Princess and Grand Tutor Zhu...
"I feel like there's a powerful hand stirring up chaos in Kyoto, especially targeting the royal family!"
"Alas, these are troubled times!" Someone sighed with melancholy on the surface, but as he spoke, he couldn't suppress the upward curve of his mouth corners.
It’s time for someone to deal with those royal relatives and nobles!
"I heard that the Emperor has ordered Prince Li to lead the Valiant Battalion to thoroughly investigate the thefts at the Princess's Mansion and the Fourth Prince's Villa last night."
"Really? Prince Li has been reused?"
"After five years, that incident is finally over! Prince Li can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel!"
"I said that what happened back then had nothing to do with Prince Li! If it was really Prince Li who did it, how could he possibly return to Kyoto now?"
"Since that incident had nothing to do with Prince Li, why hasn't the Emperor made the truth public after all these years? He's exiled him, then recalled him, and yet he hasn't explained anything clearly. Isn't that just making Prince Li bear a stigma forever?"
"Yes, Prince Li is truly miserable! He was framed and exiled for four years. Even after returning, no one has cleared his name..."
"I've got a secret story. The Second Prince's biological mother, Concubine Qing, has gone mad in the palace! Every night she screams in Xingqing Palace, saying things like 'returning to life for revenge'! Could it be that all this happening in Kyoto is the Second Prince's return to life, seeking revenge?!"
Everyone's faces were cold and their eyes were complicated.
……
The early morning sunlight shines through the round wooden window and gently falls on the thin quilt, adding a bit of warmth to the dim room.
A faint medicinal fragrance lingers in the air, mixed with the fresh green scent of the morning grass, giving people a different kind of peace.
However, the person sleeping on the couch had a look of pain and struggle on his face, as if he was trapped in a nightmare.
"don't want!!"
With a scream, the man woke up from his dream, with beads of sweat the size of beans dripping down his cheeks.
It turned out to be a dream!
Wiping the sweat off his face, he looked up and saw an unfamiliar environment: a pot of medicine simmering on a low fire, a wall of black wooden shelves filled with medicine bottles, and a table filled with medical tools.
The sound of light footsteps outside the door made him subconsciously alert.
The lake blue long skirt swept across the clean copper threshold, and the simple and elegant figure was like a white orchid blooming in the valley, untainted by dust.
"woke up."
The clear and pleasant voice, accompanied by a hint of indifference and alienation, brought his wandering thoughts back.
His eyes flickered slightly, and finally he asked indifferently, "What is your purpose in saving me?"
She didn't even look at him, just brewing the medicine, "What do you think my purpose is?"
He turned his head away and remained silent.
Now, the Shu family has fallen into disgrace, and Shu Kelin's fourth-rank general position has been stripped. As a useless playboy, what else is there for others to covet?
"Second Master Shu has always been smart. How come he has become so dull after not seeing him for a few years?"
Hearing this, Shu Yuanqi suddenly raised his eyes, his eyes full of disbelief.
"What do you mean?"
Shu He put down the fan and poured out the boiled medicine.
"Two years ago, the eldest son of the Shangshu Zuocheng family, in Zuihonglou, was fighting over a courtesan named Qingfu, and this offended Minister Jiang of the Ministry of Justice. In a rage, Minister Jiang thoroughly investigated the Shangshu Zuocheng's family, ultimately uncovering dozens of murders and corruption cases. Ultimately, the Shangshu Zuocheng was convicted by the Emperor, his property confiscated, and he was executed. The women in the Zuocheng family were forced to serve as imperial prostitutes."
"A year and a half ago, the second son of Wu Yong, the Minister of Personnel, became obsessed with gambling. Not only did he lose everything, but he also murdered someone to avoid debt and was ultimately sentenced to death by beheading."
"A year ago, the eldest daughter of Zhang Cheng, the Minister of Revenue, out of jealousy, murdered three concubines in the palace and destroyed their bodies. She was eventually betrayed by a servant and brought to justice..."
"besides……"
"That's enough!" Shu Yuanqi interrupted her, half-supporting himself, and looked at her coldly, "Who are you?"
"Who am I? Doesn't the Second Young Master already have a guess in his mind?"
Shu He looked at him coldly, a hint of sarcasm on his lips, "Why, Second Young Master, are you suddenly doing these things? Is it because you have a change of heart? Or do you want to atone for some sin?"
"I have no idea what you are talking about!" Shu Yuanqi lifted the quilt and wanted to get out of bed, but found that his legs had no strength at all.
"Your legs are broken, you'll never be able to stand up again!"
Her voice, light as a floating cotton ball, sounded like thunder in his ears.
He's ruined?!
How can it be?
He still has a lot of things to do, how can he give up now? !
He couldn't believe it and continued to struggle, trying to stand up. However, every time he tried, it was in vain.
He really couldn't stand up. His legs had no feeling at all, as if they weren't his.
Looking at the fear in his eyes, Shu He's face remained calm without any ripples.
Some things cannot be undone by looking back.
"Leave Kyoto."
She suddenly spoke, causing the struggling man to freeze.
"What did you say?" He looked at her, his eyes full of inquiry.
"I say, leave Kyoto. You are no longer needed here!"
She handed him the bowl of cooled medicine, but he smashed it with a palm.
"I do not go!!"
He will never leave until he achieves his goal!
Shu He looked at the shattered medicine bowl, a hint of frost appeared between his brows, and he said coldly, "What else can you do if you stay?"
"A useless person will only get in the way!"
"you!"
He waited for her, even though he didn't want to admit it in his heart, what she said was indeed the truth.
But even if he lost his legs, he still had other options!
Guan Huizhi and Shu Yue are destined to have a bad ending! Only Fu Qingrong and Baili Moyan are left. These are the only two left!
He can't just give up halfway!
"I won't leave! Even if I die, I'll die in Kyoto!"
He wants to see those people get what they deserve!
After hearing this, Shu He sat down on a stool not far away and looked at him indifferently, "Do you think what you are doing now can offset the harm you have done to others in the past?"
Hearing this, his body froze and his eyes showed confusion, but he quickly suppressed it.
"Impossible! Hurt is hurt, just like a broken vase. No matter how much you mend it, the cracks can't be erased! In the end, it will only make people feel ugly and ironic!"
He knelt on the ground, looking at her cold expression, and subconsciously asked, "Who are you?"
Shu He looked at him steadily, and there was no longer contempt or disgust in his eyes, but a hint of expectation.
Even at this point, he is still playing dumb!
Haha, since that’s the case, let’s do it this way!
"Since you've helped me, I've already prepared a carriage for you. The Shu family has a farm in Yuancheng, so you can go there to recuperate!"
She sneered, stood up and left.
"I won't leave! I won't leave!!"
Shu Yuanqi shouted angrily, "I don't care what your relationship is with the Shu family, but if you want me to leave, I'll have to die!"
She stopped, turned sideways, and said coldly, "Then go to hell!"
Shu Yuanqi stood there in a daze, staring blankly at the back of the person who left resolutely.
It was not until the figure disappeared that the excitement and resistance in his eyes turned into clarity and a hint of relief.
He stopped shouting and looked at the broken pieces of medicine bowl very calmly.
