Chapter 974

"You really don't believe me?" Lu Zhinian's words slowed down.

Tang Ning looked at him: "Why should I believe it?"

As if she heard something funny, she stretched out her hand, her fingertips pale and bloodless.

In just a few days, his face, which had grown much weaker, was extremely thin, and even his lips had lost their luster. He looked like a flower that should have been in full bloom, but was beginning to wither. His eyes were filled with mockery:

"I'm in this state now because of you. If I didn't have something you wanted, I'd probably be dead. Lu Zhinian, why do you think I trust you? Do you trust your scheming or your shamelessness and despicableness?"

"Since you've resorted to trickery, stop pretending to be affectionate, or you'll end up being just as annoying as you were in the Lu family!"

Lu Zhinian's body swayed slightly, his expression full of embarrassment.

Tang Ning didn't want to pay any more attention to him. She took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and wiped her hand that had just been touched by Lu Zhinian. Then she threw the handkerchief directly on the ground, turned around and walked towards the inner room.

"I need to rest now, Mr. Lu Sanlang, please come in."

"you!!"

Shi An, who was standing next to him, was filled with rage and wanted to step forward angrily. This Queen Wei was simply ungrateful!!!

Yue Jian blocked the attack with a fierce look in her eyes: "What, you want to fight?!"

"Shi An!"

Lu Zhinian shouted softly, and after stopping Shi An, he said, "I won't hurt your master."

He looked towards the figure in the inner room:

"Aning, whether you believe me or not, I am sincere to you. I just want to take you away."

"I know you're not feeling well. You should rest well these few days. If you need anything, please tell the people in the courtyard. We'll leave after things calm down outside and you feel better in a few days..."

"Bang."

His response was the door slamming shut.

Tang Ning's voice was faintly heard from the inner room.

"Tell someone to bring me some water. I want to bathe."

"Master, you are weak and it's cold outside. I'm afraid you might get hurt..."

"It's better to get hurt than to be soiled by others. I feel disgusted." After a pause, Tang Ning said, "Go find a monk's robe and burn my clothes. I don't want to touch the things of strangers."

The undisguised words in the letter made the blood drain from Lu Zhinian's lips. The joy of being with Tang Ning was like being splashed with cold water, and his eyelashes were trembling as he pursed his lips and lowered his eyes.

It was obvious that Aning liked him so much at the beginning and tried so hard to get close to him, but now she feels disgusted even to touch him.

But she should have married him!

Shi An was a criminal slave taken in by Lu Zhinian in Beiling. He was loyal to his master. Seeing that his master was so humble, and the Queen of Wei was still humiliating him in every way, he couldn't help but look furious after following Lu Zhinian into the courtyard.

"Master, why do you have to put yourself in such a difficult position? She is in your hands now, and you can do whatever you want. Since you have been pampering her in every way and she doesn't want to, why bother giving her face? A woman's heart always follows her body. You might as well..."

"Shut up!" Lu Zhinian shouted.

Shi An frowned, and even though he kept his mouth shut, there was still resentment on his face.

Lu Zhinian took a deep breath and said, "I was the one who wronged her first. She is just resentful."

It was he who looked down on Aning and betrayed her deep affection. It was natural for Aning to feel resentment towards him. She was just still angry with him. As long as he made amends and compensated her well, she would forgive him sooner or later.

Then they will naturally be able to return to the past.

Lu Zhinian suppressed his discomfort and whispered, "Order someone to bring water over and prepare the charcoal fire. Don't let Madam catch a cold. Also, go and bring Madam Qin over."

Shi An's face suddenly changed: "Master, that Qin lady is a highly skilled doctor. If she comes here, she will definitely help Madam to detoxify. What if they..."

"fine."

Lu Zhinian waved his hand to interrupt him: "Aning is a smart person. She won't put herself in danger unless she is absolutely sure of leaving safely. So as long as we protect the Zen Language Courtyard, there will be no problem."

This courtyard is full of his men, and there are even many secret guards hidden in Lingyun Temple. Even if Tang Ning is really detoxified, any unusual movement will be discovered by him. Moreover, Tang Ning is really weak at the moment, and he is afraid that any further delay will really hurt her foundation and endanger her life.

What he wanted was Tang Ning to stay with him forever, and he didn't want to really hurt her.

Lu Zhinian said, "Go and bring them here. Tell them to keep a close watch on them and don't let them come into contact with outsiders."

…

In the room, Yue Jian stood in front of the door. When she heard the footsteps outside going away, she turned around and walked to Tang Ning's side.

"Your Majesty, why did you deliberately provoke Lu Zhinian and the others just now? Lu Zhinian is a lunatic. If Your Majesty treats him like this and really angers him..." For a moment just now, Yue Jian was worried that Lu Zhinian would lose his mind.

She has now lost all her internal strength. Although she still has some means of self-protection, the yard is full of Lu Zhinian's men, including many masters.

If they really fell out and started fighting on the spot, it would be difficult for her to protect the empress from so many people.

Tang Ning said calmly: "He won't."

She turned and walked to the couch, sat down and said:

"Lu Zhinian is extremely paranoid right now. If he just wanted to force himself on me for a momentary gratification, he would have done it long ago. But he went to great lengths to bring me out of the capital and tried every possible means to make peace with me. It looked like he wanted me to stay with him willingly."

Tang Ning didn't understand why Lu Zhinian was so paranoid about her.

Logically speaking, they had already severed all ties. His status as a young master from a noble family, his bright future, and even his entire family were almost destroyed by her. Under such circumstances, even if there was deep affection, it would have vanished long ago, not to mention that Lu Zhinian had never liked her at all.

In the previous life and this life, Lu Zhinian's indifference and cold treatment towards her were not fake.

He had never had any feelings for her, only contempt and impatience. Even though so many things had happened later and he felt unwilling to give up, he shouldn't be trying to get her "affection" like this by doing everything he could.

Tang Ning always felt that there was something about Lu Zhinian that she didn't know, and his "feelings" and "obsession" with her were too abrupt.

But no matter what, Lu Zhinian wanted her.

Not just her person, but her heart as well.

Tang Ning said, "Since he says he loves me deeply, he must show me something that will convince me of his love. And no matter what we do next, we must first remove the poison from my body."

Yue Jian seemed to understand something: "Madam, you mean Madam Qin?"

Tang Ning nodded. Sister Qin had been taken away for some time. Even though she was certain that Lu Zhinian would not kill her, she was still a little worried. No matter what, she had to at least see the person first before talking about anything else.
