Chapter 408 Life is tough
Although the Fourth Master was doing this for Shun Anyan's sake, his tone was not polite.
After all, Wen Xian has suffered so much now, and the Fourth Master believes from the bottom of his heart that Shun Anyan is useless and failed to protect her.
They were together when the incident happened, and he was able to protect Cha Cha. Why didn't Shun Anyan protect Wen Xian in the first place?
Intellectually, the Fourth Master knew that it was all the assassin's fault, but he couldn't help feeling angry. He didn't express it, but he wouldn't give him a good look either.
Shun Anyan is a member of the Tong family. He is also a precious and temperamental person.
Seeing that the Fourth Master was lecturing him like a junior, his face darkened even more, and he said stubbornly, "If I don't investigate, how can I be worthy of Wen Xian having suffered so much?"
He now wishes to catch the mastermind behind this and grind him to dust. How could he possibly turn a blind eye?
After saying that, he stared at the Fourth Master, wondering if this man was afraid to offend anyone and even ignored his sister's revenge.
The Fourth Master certainly felt sorry for Wen Xian, but since the Emperor was determined to conceal the truth for others, he would not allow Shun Anyan to jump around like that.
If it wasn't for their own good, he wouldn't have said anything.
Lin Mingyan saw it clearly from the side. If she hadn't just saved Wen Xian, Shun Anyan would have felt relieved and become more rational and controlled his temper.
This time, the two of them were not going to have a big fight, but at least they were going to part ways on bad terms.
She couldn't help but think that after Wen Xian died in history, Shun Anyan, as the Fourth Master's brother-in-law, finally chose to follow the Prince of Zhi.
I think the feud between the two was probably caused by this trip to the frontier.
She quickly intervened, saying, "Master, don't get excited. Whether to investigate or not is now up to His Majesty."
"We just have to wait. His Majesty will definitely find out the truth and give us an explanation."
What she meant by saying this was to remind the two that the matter was decided by Emperor Kangxi and whatever he said was final.
Shun Anyan felt like someone poured a bucket of cold water on him after hearing this, and he calmed down in an instant.
The Fourth Master sighed and said, "This was done by a short-sighted little Mongolian noble. You should take good care of Wen Xian and help her recover."
The implication is that no matter how much you investigate, you won't find anything.
Shun Anyan knew that this was impossible. Hearing this, he could only clench his fists and nodded vigorously: "Yes."
Fortunately, Wen Xian was able to save his life, otherwise he would not be able to calm down at all.
Taking care of Wen Xian at least gives him something to do. If he is left with nothing, he will definitely go crazy.
Whether it is love or hate, there must always be something to keep people alive.
Lin Mingyan thought: Fortunately, what supports him now is his love for Wen Xian.
The Fourth Master was still weak, and the two of them returned to their tent when it was almost dark.
Because of what Emperor Kangxi did, the two of them had no appetite at all, and they felt a little listless sitting opposite each other after dinner time.
It was Du Juan who bravely came over and reminded her that dinner was ready and could be served. Only then did Lin Mingyan react.
"Master, I asked the cook to make some soup, please drink some," she advised.
My body is already injured, so I still need to eat something to replenish it.
The Fourth Master's throat moved, he nodded, and asked the servants to serve the meal.
The two of them reluctantly ate a few bites to fill their stomachs, and then had the meal removed.
Lin Mingyan then explained Wen Xian's situation in detail, "...it will be even more difficult for him to have children in the future. It's very likely that he will never have children in his entire life."
"I don't know how sad Wen Xian will be when he wakes up."
The Fourth Master recalled how he felt when he thought Cha Cha had a miscarriage. He knew that Wen Xian must be ten or a hundred times more sad than he was at that time, and he sighed.
"It's all fate. It's such a serious injury. It's good enough to be able to save your life."
He had fought in battles and had seen many soldiers seriously injured and killed on the battlefield.
Some people can lose their lives simply by falling off their horses and being trampled by their hooves.
Wen Xian's situation is a blessing in disguise.
He couldn't imagine how much he would regret it if Wen Xian died in front of him this time.
Besides, the Empress in the palace will probably blame him again.
He first killed his sixth brother.
Now that my sister is getting close to him, is it her turn again?
The Fourth Master couldn't help but think about this matter from Concubine De's point of view, and came to the conclusion that Fourteenth Master should probably stay away from him, otherwise nothing good would happen.
The more I thought about it, the more my brows furrowed - could it be that he really is a person with a tough life?
Although Lin Mingyan didn't know what the Fourth Master was thinking, she could sense his loss and gloom.
She didn't know what to say to comfort him, so she stayed by his side, holding his hand and slowly playing with his slender fingers.
When the Fourth Master came to his senses, he felt that his fingers were all tangled and had been manipulated into various positions by her.
"Are you treating me like a toy? Huh?" His gloomy mood disappeared.
No matter what others say, as long as Cha Cha doesn't think that way about him, that's all that matters.
Seeing that he had figured it out, Lin Mingyan breathed a sigh of relief and fiddled with his fingers, saying, "I'm just giving you a massage. I'm worried that your fingers might cramp up today."
The Fourth Master's hands were overworked today. Killing people is a strenuous job.
He had become accustomed to Cha Cha's various twisted ideas and strange hobbies, and didn't care about this matter, but inexplicably expressed his thoughts just now.
Hearing him talk about having a tough life, Lin Mingyan immediately retorted: "That's all nonsense!"
"You're such a tough guy! How could you defeat your close ones? You should defeat your enemies and make them unable to sleep or eat!"
This statement is funny. If someone really has a strong life, he will always hang around his enemies and kill them.
It is to make those guys who have evil intentions and want to do bad things unable to sleep or eat in peace.
The Fourth Master was amused by her twisted logic: "Cha Cha is right."
"Really? If it really works, I'll find a few people with tough lives and send them to the people I hate!" Lin Mingyan said with disdain, squinting her eyes like a proud kitten.
Damn him!
When the Fourth Master thought of the bunch of tough women around the Crown Prince, he actually laughed out loud.
Seeing that his face was no longer gloomy, Lin Mingyan asked about the details of what happened today.
The Fourth Master told her His Majesty's perfunctory response and his speculation: "If it wasn't that person who did it, the Emperor wouldn't have to work so hard to help cover it up."
Lin Mingyan felt very uncomfortable when she saw him making the number two with his hand.
Poor kids, they are all Emperor Kangxi's sons, but that one is his biological son, and the others are raised by their stepfathers.
She had been mistreated in the past, but she could still comfort herself by thinking that it was her parents who favored boys over girls, and there was nothing wrong with her.
The Fourth Master is also a son, and he is really prone to getting stuck in a rut.
Lin Mingyan hugged him without saying a word. The Fourth Master laughed at himself and said, "From childhood to adulthood, I have experienced countless things like this. It's really nothing. I could have guessed it a long time ago."
