Chapter 196: He Must Be Jingxian
Xuan Ruiquan looked at Tang Zizheng’s embarrassed look and sneered. It seems that his efforts to change the fate of Duan Yixin also affected the fate of Tang Zizheng. In his previous life, when the flood hit the north, Tang Zizheng had already lived with Liang Jiaying and won first place in the county examination.
However, in this life, he is still an unknown scholar. Moreover, Xuan Ruiquan has not seen Liang Jiaying since arriving in Yunshan Village. If his guess was correct, the woman should have abandoned Tang Zizheng.
Without that woman’s help, Tang Zizheng would be nothing in this life. In this case, if Tang Zizheng cannot become prime minister, then Duan Qinwang will lose his most powerful supporter in the imperial court. Then, it would be easier for him and Emperor Yong’an to get rid of Duan Qinwang’s forces.
Thinking of this, Xuan Ruiquan couldn’t help but laugh. He didn’t expect that his simple wish for Duan Yixin to live a happy and peaceful life would indirectly help him protect his elder cousin’s life. Now that Tang Zizheng has lost his value, he needs to devise a new plan to eliminate Duan Qinwang.
While Xuan Ruiquan’s mind moved rapidly to formulate new plans, Duan Yixin looked at Tang Zizheng’s miserable state. Just when she noticed something was wrong with Tang Zizheng’s behavior, Tang Sanniu and others had already rushed over to check on Tang Zizheng’s condition.
Seeing him coughing up blood, Tang Sanniu was frightened. He looked at the villagers and shouted in panic, "Please help me bring Erlang back. Quick!"
At Tang Sanniu’s urging and plea, several villagers carried Tang Zizheng, who had fainted, back to the Tang family’s house. Seeing that Tang Zizheng was in very bad condition, Chi Junheng decided to go with them and see his condition.
No matter what, what just happened to him was related to Duan Yixin, and Chi Junheng would not let them blame Duan Yixin for Tang Zizheng’s behavior.
After everyone left, Xuan Ruiquan turned to look at Duan Yixin. He held her hand and looked at her wrist.
