109. I Didn't Do It

Perhaps it was because of Han, or perhaps because of something else, Tian Yushu didn't leave but stayed.

Not long after, a doctor arrived. It was Dongfang Li.

As a result, Dongfang Li gave his diagnose. Han Tingxuan was clear of the poison. He passed out because he was too weak. He would be fine after taking a break for a while.

After that, Han Tingxuan was fed with herbal medicine. Han Tingxuan, although he woke up, later on, was silent.

Tian Yushu had a private talk with Dongfang Li.

"Your highness," Dongfang Li bent over to bow.

Tian Yushu waved his hand. "Doctor Dongfang."

Dongfang Li straightened up.

Tian Yushu looked at him and asked worriedly, "Apart from him being weak, is there anything else wrong with Prince Chen’s husband?"

Dongfang Li sighed. "He is depressed from sadness and sorrow."

Tian Yushu pursed his lips slightly. "Is there a cure?"

"Not only if he solves the problem he is depressed about,” said Dongfang Li.

Tian Yushu didn't ask anything more. Dongfang excused himself for leaving.

Tian Yushu lowered his head slightly, deep in thought.

When he received the news, he did not believe it was true. He knew how powerful Mo Yanzhi's martial arts were. How could he be killed by a fire?!

At that time, he didn't believe it! He even suspected that there might be some conspiracy behind it.

However, when he arrived at the imperial palace, he saw Han Tingxuan, who had almost lost his life. He saw the enraged Tian Yuexi and the dead body of Mo Yanzhi.

The fire was put out in time. Mo Yanzhi's body wasn't severely damaged. At the very least, his face could be seen clearly, although it was dirty. It was indeed Mo Yanzhi's face!

Then, it was a mess in the palace.

Han Tingxuan was carried to the emperor's dormitory by the guards. The emperor was enraged, and then ordered the imperial doctor, Shen Fangde, to perform the treatment. It took Shen Fangde several hours to save Han Tingxuan back to life!

Only at that time, Tian Yushu started to realize it was happening.

So many assassins came to kill Tian Yuexi but not on Tian Yushu’s order. Then who would it be? He had been hunted by the assassins back to the City of Capital.

However, the traitors of the Heavenly Extinction Sect had almost been killed. Could that person have some other unknown power?

But since he came back, he had sent a lot more people keeping an eye on that person. Why didn't he find any clue?

Could it be someone else behind the whole thing?

What made the emperor even more furious was that not only his younger brother but also Consort Yun and the crown prince were murdered that night!

Consort Yun's palace was set on fire that night. Unfortunately, the fire was not put out in time.

In the end, Consort Yun’s corpse was completely burnt up. It was impossible to see his face. On the other hand, the crown prince’s face was recognized. And his small body was ice cold.

The successor to the throne was dead.

The entire country got so angry that they lost their precious future emperor.

Tian Yushu was mad because he knew that he was the most suspicious plotter of such a major incidence!

This was the reason why he had not come to the Han Residence these days.

However, he did not do it!

Tian Yushu walked into Han Tingxuan's room. Han was feeding Han Tingxuan the medicine.

Tian Yushu walked to the bedside. Han Tingxuan glanced at him silently before leaning against the back of the bed.

Han looked at Tian Yushu and then at Han Tingxuan before saying. "Han Tingxuan, I'll go get some food."

Han Tingxuan did not object and said softly. "Mm."

Han left, and then Han Tingxuan slowly turned his gaze onto Tian Yushu.

"Good to see you, uncle."

Tian Yushu's mouth twitched slightly. "You too."

Han Tingxuan stared at him. "Uncle. There are only the two of us here. I don't have any evidence. Can you tell me... Do you know any of the incidents?"

Tian Yushu said seriously, "I don't know. Regardless of whether you believe it or not, I have no interest in the throne. Otherwise, I would still be the Regent, way more powerful than that position. I would never do anything harmful to my nephew. He is my nephew! "

Hearing this, Han Tingxuan chuckled but his eyes were cold.

"You will not do anything harmful to your nephew? Tell why Yanzhi and I were attacked by the Heavenly Extinction Sect when we first came to the City of Capital. Don't say that you have nothing to do with it."

Tian Yushu frowned and pursed his lips tightly. "If I tell you that it has nothing to do with me and I only found it out the next day, do you believe me?"

Han Tingxuan sneered again.

Tian Yushu slowly looked away. "The ones chasing after us were from the Heavenly Extinction Sect."

"Oh?" Han Tingxuan raised his eyebrows slightly and asked coldly, "Aren’t you the boss of the Heavenly Extinction Sect? Even if there is a traitor in the sect, can that traitor be so powerful to order so many assassins?”

"I underestimated my enemy," Tian Yushu said lightly. "I didn't take him as a match. His ambition grows before I notice it.”

"Who are you talking about?" Han Tingxuan interrupted him.

Tian Yushu looked at Han Tingxuan and slowly said. "Tian Chuanyun."

Han Tingxuan paused slightly. "Tian Chuanyun, you mean the youngest son of Duke Guan jing?”

"That's him. Believe it or not. The purpose of me building up the Heavenly Extinction Sect was to monitor the martial art world for the country, and secondly, to deal with some private affairs that could not be exposed in public. However, from three years ago, I haven’t spent much time running the Heavenly Extinction Sect. Tian Chuanyun is the deputy leader of the Heavenly Extinction Sect. Now you see it. He not only wanted to kill you but also me.”

Han Tingxuan lowered his eyes and didn't say anything.

Tian Yushu said softly, "The first thing I did after we came back was to find him. But he hides back in his mansion and refused to see anyone with an excuse of illness. He even refused to see me.”

Han Tingxuan still didn't say anything.

Tian Yushu sighed. "I'm sorry about Qi. However, ever since I came back, I had sent many people to monitor the residence of Duke of Guan jing. But I didn't find anything unusual. Now, I'm worried that there are still some other hidden forces spying on us.”

"Believe it or not. This is my explanation. You might know more than I do. You can treat me as your biggest enemy. But you don’t want to see someone else taking advantage of us, do you? Think about it. I need to go now.”

After that, Tian Yushu turned around and left.

After the door was closed, Han Tingxuan's eyes slowly narrowed.

That assassination was not initiated by Tian Yushu?

And if what he said was true, he wouldn't do anything to his nephew, did he know that Tian Yuexi was poisoned and he could not live long?

Han Tingxuan started to ponder.

After a while, Han knocked on the door and walked in.

"Han Tingxuan, I brought food here," said Han.

Then, Lu Han and Qian Yun, Mo Yanzhi’s servant she-man and footman, also followed in. They held a basin of warm water and other snacks.

Han Tingxuan got out of bed with his clothes on.

He had a quiet meal. After the meal, Han Tingxuan said, "I have to rest for a while. Don't disturb me unless it is an emergency."

"Yes," Qian Yun and Lu Han put away the things and left.

"Han, have anyone ever been here while I was off to the morning meeting?" Han Tingxuan asked.

Han nodded. "Yes, as you said, I killed them no matter who they are."

Han Tingxuan nodded. "Keep doing this. I'm tired. I need to rest for a while. You are free to do whatever you want.”

"Oh," Han responded and said, "Tian Yushu's cold jade is a good thing. Keep wearing it. It helps you get recovered.”

Han Tingxuan paused. "Is it Tian Yushu’s jade?"

"Yes," Han nodded.

Han Tingxuan asked, "Did he give it to you?"

"No, I took it from him," Han said frankly.

Han Tingxuan was speechless for a moment before smiling. "Okay, I see. Thank you for your kindness."

Han didn't say anything and went out.

Han Tingxuan sighed softly as he stared at this empty room.

"Yanzhi, sorry I'm selfish."

Han Tingxuan lay down and slowly closed his eyes.

He was really tired. One true reason was that he was ill. The other reason was that he was so focused on acting. Only if he made himself believe what he acted, would others believe him.

Only he knew what the true feeling he was feeling at that moment he was kneeling before someone who should have been his male wife in the morning meeting earlier.

He, Han Tingxuan, would never have thought that one day he would make his true love, his treasure, the most powerful man in this world.

However, there was no joy at all. He could only feel sadness and loneliness, and, despair.

It was about time that he should have changed the way he viewed the whole thing. In this world where people risked their lives to fight for power, his modern mindset did not work.

He had to be ruthless to survive.

He had to learn to make a better plan to survive.

He had to take his fate into his hands, not others.

To survive, he couldn’t always make plans and wait for others to wrap the plan up. He had to be the one to wrap things up.

Han Tingxuan! You have to learn from the lessons. You have to make a change in this new world, for your own sake, for your male wife, and your unborn son, for Zhuoyou you loved, and for Tian Yuexi who cared about you wholeheartedly.
