EBE Chapter 136 Liu Geng
Chapter 136 Liu Geng
Pei Chun leaned close to Gu Yuan's ear again, and the hot breath immediately sprayed near Gu Yuan's earlobe.
Itchy.
"There is a judge of the Imperial Hospital in the palace, and he is a close confidant of the Empress Dowager."
Gu Yuan felt a tingling sensation in his ear and squinted his eyes in enjoyment, with a look of satisfaction on his face.
Pei Chun didn't realize that this was a question that Gu Yuan deliberately asked to get her closer, and she continued to explain foolishly.
"As the chief judge of the Imperial Hospital, it would be very easy for him to come into contact with large amounts of Hanshi Powder.
Besides, this thing is not cheap, and those who are willing to pay for it are those with wealthy families.
One person is enough for the Sixth Prince to make a fortune, not to mention that there are so many people gathering here to take it."
Pei Chun guessed that the money that all the people who took Hanshi Powder paid to the Sixth Prince was enough to feed an entire army.
However, with so many people taking Hanshi Powder, it would be hard to justify if the Sixth Prince did not suffer a lot this time.
It all depends on how the twelfth prince will act.
Gu Yuan laughed, and Pei Chun was confused and landed on his tiptoe.
She was about to say something.
Then a familiar voice came from a distance: "How dare you! I am the prince of Jing! How dare you touch me?!"
Pei Chun raised his eyebrows. Prince Jing, Liu Geng?
Liu Geng is actually here?
Uncle Prince Jing dotes on his son so much, yet he actually lets someone get involved with the Sixth Prince’s Colosseum?
Isn’t he afraid that one day the truth will be revealed and the Sixth Prince will implicate his own son?
As Pei Chun walked inside, the smell of blood became stronger.
She found that a group of imperial guards were surrounding Liu Geng, and no one dared to touch him.
Liu Geng was wearing a very worn, soft, thin outfit, his cheeks were flushed, and he was holding a wine jug that was still steaming in one hand.
With his other hand, he pointed at the imperial guards in front of him and shouted, "How dare you touch me, you bastard?
Even my relatives don’t dare touch me!
You idiots, do you know what I am doing?"
Pei Chun frowned secretly.
What else could he be doing?
Isn't it just dispersing the medicine? Everyone who takes Hanshi Powder must disperse the medicine to let the effect dissipate, otherwise they will not know how they died the next morning.
How on earth did Liu Geng, this stupid cousin, get addicted to this stuff!
On the other side, Liu Geng raised his hand again and took a sip of the still steaming wine.
The wine flowed down Liu Geng's neck, burning him so much that he shivered all over and almost fell to the ground in a daze.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was currently under the effects of the drug.
The twelfth prince saw this and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes. He couldn't help but asked hypocritically: "Why is my eldest cousin here?"
Prince Jing is from the Sixth Prince's party.
If he could bring the ugly appearance of Prince Jing to his father.
It is not certain whether Prince Jing can keep his son!
"Go find a doctor quickly!" The twelfth prince winked at the servants around him.
It seems that he wants to immediately finalize the matter of Prince Jing taking Hanshi Powder in front of everyone.
Pei Chun frowned slightly upon seeing this, let go of Gu Yuan's hand, and took a step forward.
"Twelfth Prince, I think my eldest cousin is drunk. Why don't you carry him to my carriage to sober him up?"
She spoke in a deep voice, clearly telling the twelfth prince that she wanted to protect Liu Geng.
In her previous life, this man helped her stop Prince Jing’s impeachment and even died while blocking an arrow for her. She couldn’t pretend that this never happened.
The twelfth prince's expression changed slightly: "What are you talking about, cousin Funing? My cousin doesn't look like an ordinary drunk.
I'd better ask a doctor to come and take a look to feel at ease."
He didn't want to let go of Prince Jing's handle easily, and besides, he had this cousin under his control.
Even if he didn't go to the emperor to file a complaint, he could still do Prince Jing's Mansion a favor.
Only a fool would let such a good opportunity slip by.
Pei Chun understood what the twelfth prince meant, and with a turn of his eyes, he changed his words: "Your Highness the Twelfth Prince, since we have met the Prince of Jing here today.
As long as you protect the person, it means that Uncle Prince Jing owes you a big favor.
Why go to such extremes?
Besides, it’s not certain whether Prince Jing’s uncle knows about Prince Jing’s current condition.
The Prince of Jing is the most beloved son of Uncle Prince Jing. How could he bear to let his son be exposed to such things?
If Uncle Prince Jing knew that this matter was related to the Sixth Prince...
Do you think the relationship between Uncle Jing and the Sixth Prince will remain as good as before?"
As Pei Chun spoke, his eyes fell on Liu Geng, who was already surrounded by the Imperial Guards, and he felt quite speechless.
The twelfth prince standing by seemed to be enlightened and touched his chin in thought.
What if Liu Geng’s role is more than just winning Prince Jing’s support?
He looked at Pei Chun's calm expression, and a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes: "It's rare that cousin Funing is so good-tempered today.
I thought that with my cousin's hatred of evil, she would want to kill Prince Jing on the spot when she saw this kind of thing."
He smiled, his eyes meaningful: "It turns out that those people are not the Prince of Jing..."
He did not avoid Gu Yuan, but instead tried to provoke him intentionally or unintentionally.
Pei Chun heard it and rolled his eyes in his heart. He didn't explain but just smiled: "Then does the Twelfth Prince think what I said is right?"
"Since Princess Funing has said so, why don't you help Prince Jing to rest?"
The twelfth prince casually gave instructions to the attendant beside him, and then walked to the other side leisurely.
Pei Chun pretended not to see it.
Who knows what he is thinking. Her gratitude cannot prevent the twelfth prince from taking action against the sixth prince. She just pointed him in another direction.
Even if the two parties do something called a deal, it has nothing to do with her.
She just wanted to save Liu Geng.
Liu Geng was no longer fully conscious at this time, and kept shouting that he wanted to go home.
The servants around him only dared to reach out and support him gently, but just this touch seemed to make him feel unbearable pain, and he kept crying out in pain.
He wanted to break free from the servant's hand and go farther away.
Pei Chun saw this and said in a deep voice: "Take him outside and let the rain pour on him!"
Anyone who has taken Hanshi Powder needs to take a cold bath and drink hot wine, but there is no cold water for him to bathe in now, so he can only take it outside and borrow the power of heaven and earth.
The crazy Liu Geng was brought out of the underground by his servants.
Pei Chun dispelled the complex smell of alcohol and blood, turned around boredly, and looked towards the place in the middle that looked like a ring.
He was just about to grab Gu Yuan's hand and take him to the vicinity of the ring.
She felt Gu Yuan gently touching her elbow.
Pei Chun raised her eyes and saw Gu Yuan's serious face. She also became serious, staring into his eyes, silently asking what was wrong.
Gu Yuan looked at Pei Chun's serious expression, lowered his head slightly, and whispered in her ear: "Ming Cheng, who is more important, him or me?"
Pei Chun: “…”
She thought it was something so serious, but it turned out to be this.
"Of course you are important!" she said quickly.
After saying that, she narrowed her eyes and gave him a big smile.
Gu Yuan couldn't help but smile.
What Prince Jing? He has become a half-dead ghost after taking Hanshi Powder. He is no match for him anymore!
He followed Pei Chun's gaze and saw that the two men who were pinned down on the ring had been forced by the Royal Guards to put on their clothes.
They were tied up with bruised faces and noses and were lined up against the wall.
Pei Chun walked over slowly and asked: "Were you bought slaves, or did you come to the Colosseum to gamble voluntarily?"
