Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 839: Chapter 840: He’s Willing to Let Him Live?

Su Chengyu didn’t speak, but he gestured with his eyes for the two guards to put away their knives.

An Jing breathed a huge sigh of relief. That mouth of Gong Juechen—someday it would surely get him killed!

”This humble one pays respects to the Crown Prince, may the Crown Prince live for ten thousand, ten thousand years!” Suddenly, Gong Juechen knelt, both knees hitting the ground, the pain was excruciating, but the pain in his knees was nothing compared to the pain in his heart.

All could see him bowing deeply to Su Chengyu, his forehead touching the ground, not lifting it; in his peach blossom eyes, there was only hatred, deep hatred, wishing nothing more than to destroy the man before him.

As long as he destroyed this man, Su Haoyu would surely be in unbearable pain. After all, this was the person Su Haoyu clung to as his spiritual support for living.

But, could he really go through with it?

This person was his...

Upon considering this, Gong Juechen’s eyes now held not only hatred but also deep desolation, so chillingly cold it penetrated his entire being.

Gong Juechen, with his eyes filled with hatred and desolation, stared fixedly at the ground, then proclaimed loudly, ”This humble one was blind and did not recognize Mount Tai, I have offended Your Highness, I hope Your Highness forgives my transgression!”

As he spoke, his heart sneered coldly, ”I hope you never find out everything in this lifetime, otherwise, could you accept such a grand salute from me with a clear conscience?”

An Jing and Xiao Changyi felt something was off with Gong Juechen; according to what they knew of him, he wouldn’t be scared into immediately paying respects to Su Chengyu, but now, Gong Juechen had done so, and with exceptional reverence at that.

Despite feeling something was strange about Gong Juechen, neither An Jing nor Xiao Changyi said anything specific about it.

”Ignorance is not a crime, rise,” said Su Chengyu, who wasn’t petty. Seeing Gong Juechen’s head still touching the ground, he asked him to stand up.

”Thank you, Crown Prince,” Gong Juechen’s lips curled into a mocking smile, which disappeared instantly as he lifted his head from the ground.

Once Gong Juechen stood up, Su Chengyu then asked, ”I heard you are a doctor?”

”Answering the Crown Prince,” Gong Juechen replied with utmost respect, ”this humble one is indeed a doctor.”

An Jing found it hard to become accustomed to this kind of Gong Juechen. She felt he was rather better suited to his usual shameless demeanor.

Xiao Changyi, on the other hand, didn’t care about adapting or not, but he kept his guard up. Gong Juechen was truly behaving oddly today.

”I’ve heard that your medical skills are quite excellent?” Su Chengyu inquired further.

Gong Juechen answered, ”Responding to the Crown Prince, there’s nothing too excellent, just a means to make a living.”

”There’s no need for modesty, Yun Er was treated by you to be this way, I’m well aware of this,” Su Chengyu stated.

Only then did Gong Juechen formally respond, ”Yes,” while sneering coldly in his heart again.

”The Fifth Prince is unwell, and I would like you to have a look at him,” Su Chengyu expressed his request.

Previously, he intended to have his Brother Yi and Sister-in-law discuss this matter with Gong Juechen, but now that Gong Juechen was here, he took the opportunity to speak directly.

Su Chengjin was the Emperor of Xiyun’s fifth son, and even though Su Chengjin was older than Su Chengyu by two days, the Emperor of Xiyun did not confer upon Su Chengjin the title of prince, and thus he was merely addressed as the Fifth Prince.

The Fifth Prince?

Gong Juechen was quite astonished.

Besides Su Chengyu, Su Haoyu actually allowed other princes to live?

Gong Juechen was truly surprised, yet he concealed it very well, and no one noticed his astonishment.

Immediately afterward, Gong Juechen asked, ”If I may inquire, Crown Prince, is the Fifth Prince in good health?”
