Lu Wan quickly shook his head, "How could that be."
If it was before, Lu Wan might still be scared for a while, but now he is not afraid at all. Although Chen Yan sometimes has a bad temper, he is not a bloodthirsty person. I think he has his own reasons for doing this today.
Shen Yan chuckled, but no matter how you looked at it, there was only roiling anger in those eyes.
Without Shen Yan and Lu Wan saying anything, the guards had already started interrogating the man. The man couldn't stand the torture and quickly confessed everything.
It turned out that this man was a refugee from the southeast. He walked all the way to the junction of Yuncheng and Shangfengcheng, and encountered an earthquake. There were no casualties among those who were traveling with him, but a big hole was created in the place where they were temporarily staying. Some people curiously went into the hole to take a look, and it seemed to be a tomb of some previous dynasty. These people were almost starving to death, so naturally they didn't care about any private retribution. They just went in and took out a lot of burial objects.
Thanks to these things, they survived, but there were still some people who were obsessed with money and planned to go back to the underground palace and rob all the treasures inside to make a fortune.
Just like the man in front of you, it is not easy to get rich unexpectedly. When the man and his companions entered the underground palace for the second time, they encountered the second collapse. Several people were trapped inside. The man was also lucky because he was close to the exit and he ran all the way to save his life. Later, he heard that there were many nobles in the capital, so he rushed to the capital with the stolen treasures.
This was also the reason why he turned around and ran when he heard Lu Wan asking him where these things came from.
After explaining the reason for his visit to the capital, the man looked at Shen Yan with a wail, "Sir, I didn't steal or rob, I didn't commit any crime, please let me go."
When Lu Wan heard this, before she could open her mouth, she saw Shen Yan suddenly stand up, walk to the man in two steps, look at him with a fierce look of contempt, and ask, "Tell me, where is the tomb?"
The man was so scared that he nearly peed his pants, and then he trembled as he spoke out an address.
Chen Yan turned around and glanced at Ying, who immediately understood and turned around and left the prison.
Shen Yan still stood in front of the man, looking at the man's eyes full of murderous intent. Just when he was about to take action, a slightly cold hand suddenly rested on the back of his hand, "Don't be impulsive, maybe this man can be useful if he sheds."
Although Lu Wan didn't know why Shen Yan was so angry, he was still struggling with whether to go up and persuade him. By the time he thought it through, he had already walked to Shen Yan's side.
To be honest, even on the day when he had just crossed over, when Lu Baixue disappeared and all the blame was directed at him, Lu Wan had never seen Shen Yan so angry.
Looking at Shen Yan with a struggling expression on his face, Lu Wan sighed quietly in his heart, and then held his hand even tighter.
Shen Yan slowly calmed down. He held Lu Wan's hand and said softly, "Come with me."
After saying that, without waiting for Lu Wan to speak, he took her by the hand and walked out of the dark cell.
Lu Wan did not struggle. When the two came to the study again, Shen Yan patted Lu Wan's head, and his expression seemed a little worried. He said, "Don't be afraid of me."
Lu Wan didn’t know why Shen Yan would say such a thing, but he still shook his head and said, “I’m not afraid.”
Shen Yan suddenly smiled.
"I didn't want you to see me torturing him. I hoped you would always see my good side. But after thinking about this for a while, I rejected it. I'm not a good person. I'm afraid you'll be disappointed in me and even think about leaving me."
He could see that Lu Wan was a good man at heart who could speak up for justice and stand up for the weak, otherwise he would not have helped the little emperor again and again.
But he, Shen Yan, was not like that. Everyone said that the Regent of Nanxia was scheming and had ulterior motives, but Shen Yan had never thought about defending himself, because he knew that what these people said was right.
He carries a deep hatred for the destruction of his family and country. The reason he is still alive in this world, besides because of his sister, is to destroy Nanxia. He can even use any means to achieve his goal.
Risking the loss of Lu Wan, Shen Yan exposed his entire dark side to Lu Wan, because he felt that if he continued to act like this, Lu Wan would be disappointed and sad when she learned his true face one day.
He didn't want to make Lu Wan sad, so he could only worry about Lu Wan finding out about all this and feel nervous and uneasy.
"I regard human life as worthless, and I even believe that I am a murderer as rumored by the outside world."
Looking at Lu Wan again, Shen Yan asked seriously, "After knowing all this, will you want to leave me?"
Lu Wan looked at the pair of serious eyes. Those eyes were so pure and clean, but its owner had tasted all kinds of things in this world too early, so he did not trust anyone around him.
Inexplicably, she felt a little sorry for this man.
What does it matter if you become an emperor in the end? You will still be a lonely man, and your corpse will be whipped by people who come after you when you die.
"I won't leave you."
Lu Wan suddenly spoke with something that sounded like a promise. At this moment, she couldn't even tell whether she said this because she wanted to watch this man become an emperor step by step from a king of a different surname, or because she just wanted to be with him.
When Chen Yan heard this, his tense face suddenly showed a smile. Before Lu Wan could react, he held her in his arms, ignoring her struggles and saying with some stubborn arrogance, "You said this yourself. Even if you want to leave one day, I will break your legs and feet so that you can't go anywhere and have to stay by my side obediently."
