At the beginning, in order to fool Chang Jing into becoming his dark guard, he secluded himself and practiced playing marbles for a long time, okay?
It wouldn’t make sense if Tang Yueshan still didn’t realize that he was set up by Marquis Xuanping, but there was no point in talking about it now. He already uttered that ugly speech, could he still go back on his word?
Just then, a servant of the Supreme Commander Estate came in a hurry and whispered a few words in his ear.
His eyes moved, then he stood up, looked coldly at Marquis Xuanping then at Gu Changqing in the torture chamber, and said dismissively, "Humph, this commander will let you off today, but you still hurt Ming’er, so don’t expect this commander to completely let you off!"
Saying this, he threw the marbles in his hand and left with a determined look.
Marquis Xuanping had someone pick up the marbles, wiped them himself for Chang Jing, and then returned them to him.
Chang Jing was a little depressed.
He really didn’t like others touching his marbles. [T/N: XD]
Marquis Xuanping smoothed out the clothes on his shoulders and coaxed him, "I'll buy you a new, round and beautiful one next time, alright?"
Chang Jing's face only darkened with resentful eyes, "You've said the same thing thirty-seven times now."
Marquis Xuanping felt awkward as he said, "Oh, have I? This time though, I’ll be sure to buy it, I will buy it!"
Chang Jing bowed his head and carefully wiped his marbles.
Marquis Xuanping came to the door of the torture chamber, looked at Gu Changqing who had his eyes slightly closed, and said, "You’re still young, why are you taking things too hard?"
Gu Changqing slowly opened his eyes and looked at the dark and obscure wall opposite with traces of damp water, "I'm not taking things too hard."
Marquis Xuanping did not continue to argue with him, saying, "If you have any difficulties, you can seek an audience with His Majesty and speak to him about it."
Gu Changqing said in a low voice, "I have no difficulties."
Not having any difficulties was the greatest difficulty, because it couldn’t be spoken at all.
Marquis Xuanping saw through it but did not say anything more and only flashed a faint smile, "Alright, things have been done. It's time for this Marquis to go back home and get some sleep. See you later."
Gu Changqing bowed his head slightly in salute.
Marquis Xuanping yawned and got into his carriage.
Chang Jing sat in the outer seat to drive the carriage. Marquis Xuanping knew which direction the carriage was going even with his eyes closed. He said lazily, "Go to the Soft Fragrance Pavilion."
His sleepiness had faded by a lot, and he wouldn’t be able to sleep soundly even if he got back to the estate. He might as well lie down in a pair of soft, fragrant arms.
Chang Jing didn’t like that kind of place. There were too many women and they always made strange noises.
However, Miss Xiang’er of the Soft Fragrance Pavilion could cook a lot of delicious food.
……
On the other hand, Tang Yueshan rushed back to the Supreme Commander Estate.
"Where’s the young lord? Is he really awake?" He got off the carriage and asked the steward waiting at the gate.
The steward answered, "Yes, the young lord did wake up just now. Remembering my Lord’s instructions, this servant had someone report to my Lord as soon as he woke up."
Since what happened last night, Tang Yueshan was not at ease leaving Tang Ming alone in his courtyard, and ordered someone to move Tang Ming to his own courtyard.
At the moment, Tang Ming was lying in his room and sleeping on his bed.
The room was filled with a thick smell of medicine, which suppressed the smell of blood coming from Tang Ming.
But Tang Yueshan could still sniff it. He frowned and came to the bed.
Medic Jiang and Chief Medic Wu were both present.
The two men gave him a salute, "Lord Tang."
Tang Yueshan waved his hand to let the two of them forgo the formalities. He sat down beside the bed, looked anxiously at Tang Ming whose brows were tightly knit, eyes were closed and cheeks were bloodless. He asked, "Didn't you say he had woken up?"
Chief Medic Wu said, "He woke up for a while, took two sips of medicine and then went to sleep again."
Actually, he only took a sip and spilled half of it.
Tang Ming's face was paler than when Tang Yueshan left in the morning, and his breathing was particularly weak. Tang Yueshan felt like a knife was being twisted in his heart. He took the towel from the servant girl's hand and wiped the cold sweat on Tang Ming's forehead, which showed he was in pain despite being unconscious.
Then he asked the two medical officers, "Can he… be treated?"
The two medical officers looked at each other, seemingly pushing each other to answer with their eyes. Finally, Medic Jiang coughed and said, "We will try our best!"
"What this commander wants is not for you to try your best! This commander wants you to cure him! He is this commander’s only... " Tang Yueshan paused when his words reached here, clench his fists, and endured the heartache,"...only nephew. This commander has no children of his own, and he is the successor of this commander. This commander doesn't allow him to have any mishaps! Whether it's his life or his... "
At this point, Tang Yueshan glanced at a particular place on Tang Ming’s body, "Can he… raise it again?"
He wasn’t a scholar who could speak elegant and subtle words. This was the most elegant word he could spit out in front of these medical officers.
The two medical officers didn't know how to answer him at the moment.
After all, this...they really couldn’t say for sure. The loss of a sac didn’t mean he had completely become an Eunuch, but with such a grave injury, he couldn’t be compared to a normal man either.
Tang Yueshan was very furious when the medical officers didn't give a definite answer. Just as the medical officers were frightened by him that they almost began trembling, a servant reported that First Madame Tang had arrived.
Tang Yueshan retracted his angry expression and restrained his murderous aura, "Stand down first!"
"Yes!"
The medical officers were relieved. First Madame Tang truly arrived at the right time.
First Madame Tang entered the room with red and swollen eyes. This bad news after bad news made her cry so much that she almost lost her breath in the morning.
Tang Yueshan's eyes rested on her weeping red eyes. His eyes moved, got up to give up the position beside the bed and slightly bowed and cupped his hands.
First Madame Tang returned the ceremony without glancing sideways.
The two people maintained a proper distance.
"Pour a cup of tea for the First Madame." Tang Yueshan told the servant.
The servant answered, "Yes."
"No need." First Madame Tang choked with sobs and refused, touching Tang Ming's face. Tears once again welled up in her eyes, "My miserable child…"
Looking at First Madame Tang's side face, Tang Yueshan said solemnly, "Sister-in-law, please rest assured, I will definitely have Ming’er cured!"
First Madame Tang covered her mouth and nodded her head in tears.
First Madame Tang sat there for a while, but the medical officers still had to feed Tang Ming his medicine and it wasn’t good for her to delay her son's treatment, so she got up and left.
Perhaps because she cried for too long that when she stood up, she felt dizzy and staggered a few steps.
Tang Yueshan's complexion changed and he stepped forward to support her, his eyes full of tension, "Sister-in-law!"
First Madame Tang was held in time, and her dizziness passed quickly. She looked at the hands holding her arms, and her expression changed. She hurriedly pulled them out of his grip.
