"Um?"
Hearing this, Lu Wan subconsciously turned around to look at Chen Yan. The two were too close, and when they turned around, their faces were almost touching.
The burning sensation on his face that had just faded away surged up again, and Lu Wan was so shocked that he stood up abruptly and took a step back.
Chen Yan only smelled a special fragrance in Lu Wan's hair. Although it was a faint scent, it made people feel at ease. Therefore, he subconsciously moved closer, but he did not expect what happened afterwards.
Like Lu Wan, he was shocked at first, then looked at Lu Wan with regret, wishing he could be a thousand miles away from him.
What's wrong with this person!
Like a kitten with its fur standing on end, Lu Wan glared at Chen Yan fiercely, but it didn't have much killing power. Instead, it was shy and timid, making it impossible for people to let go.
Chen Yan lowered his head and coughed lightly, then looked at the armrest of the couch, trying to get the topic back on track, "I came to you today because I have something to tell you."
As he spoke, he sat up straighter.
Lu Wan, however, was like a frightened bird, and stretched out his hand to block himself, "If you have anything to say, just sit there and talk. I can hear you."
Since she is no longer a princess, there is no need for her to call herself "concubine" anymore.
Chen Yan had no intention of moving, and seeing that Lu Wan was really shy, he lay down for a while, pointing at the fruits on the table with one hand.
Lu Wan wanted to know what had happened, so he had no choice but to serve the old man who was lying comfortably.
"Your brother has arrived in the capital. You will be able to see her this afternoon."
That's good news.
Lu Wan nodded secretly, saying that she was serving fruit to Shen Yan, but most of the food on the plate went into her own stomach. While she was eating, she was also thinking about the pros and cons of Lu Changxin returning to Beijing.
Lu Changxin's return means that the military power that was exiled has also returned, which means that the situation in the capital will inevitably undergo major changes. However, no matter how it changes, the military power of hundreds of thousands of troops is in Shen Yan's hands. No matter what happens, he will be able to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai. The only drawback is that the Queen Mother has already regarded Shen Yan as a thorn in her side, so how could she allow him to dominate the world? It is necessary that all kinds of weird things happen one after another.
No matter how you look at it now, you and Chen Yan are already tied to a boat. When the Queen Mother deals with Chen Yan, how could she let you go easily? It will be difficult for me to live a peaceful life in the future.
Lu Wan thought about it and shook his head symbolically.
The room was silent for a moment, and Shen Yan heard every word of these words.
The fingertips that were about to reach her lips were suddenly held by someone. Lu Wan looked up suddenly, only to see Shen Yan's eyes looking at her.
"I won't let anything happen to you."
You clearly wanted me to die before.
Lu Wan subconsciously wanted to refute, but looking at Chen Yan's serious eyes, he opened his mouth and swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
Forget it. Since we are under his roof, we have to bow our heads. Whatever the boss says is what he does.
Looking at the seemingly well-behaved Lu Wan, Shen Yan knew that she didn't believe him so quickly, but he didn't explain.
Since he has understood my feelings, he will definitely treat Lu Wanhao wholeheartedly in the future. The two of them are not in a situation where they have to live without a tomorrow. In the long years to come, this person will definitely understand what I said today.
"Although I promised to protect you, I can't be with you all the time. You have to learn to protect yourself."
These words sounded strange, and Lu Wan frowned and looked at him, with some ominous premonitions rising in his heart.
Sure enough, the next moment, Shen Yan spoke up, "Your sister has been found."
Lu Changqing was found by Shen Yan's men, but before he could be sent back safely, he was kidnapped.
According to Shen Yan, the group of people who kidnapped Lu Changqing were highly skilled in martial arts, and they seemed to be a group of people who were trained in a unified way. Only the forces in the palace could send out so many people at once.
"If the Queen Mother asks you to identify the person, just refuse to admit it and she will be unable to do anything to you."
Lu Wan knelt on the ground, with the queen mother sitting high in front of her. Thinking about what Chen Yan had said to her last night, she felt like crying but had no tears.
She knew this would happen, but as a modern person, she really couldn't do something like kneeling on the ground all the time.
The crisp sound of tea cups clinking against each other was heard. The Queen Mother first glanced at Lu Wan, then slowly put down the tea cup, smiled and said, "I heard that the Regent's Palace was caught in a fire a few days ago and the princess died. Although you are not as sad as your sister, you are a pillar of the country and the emperor's companion. Even if you are sad, you must take care of your body."
No matter how Lu Wan looked at the empress dowager in front of him, he felt that she was a weasel with bad intentions, and he was the big fat chicken served on the table.
"Thank you for your concern, Queen Mother. I will take good care of myself and do my best for Your Majesty and the country."
The Queen Mother wanted to give Lu Wan one last chance, but she didn't expect to get such an expected answer, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Upon seeing this, Shuncai bowed slightly and clapped his hands behind him without the empress dowager's instructions.
Lu Wan didn't have to be curious for too long before a woman was led in.
Lu Wan frowned and thought for a while, and finally remembered that this person was Sun Xinran, the daughter of Lord Sun. The two of them didn't interact much, and he didn't interact much with her, but he could be considered an acquaintance.
I just don't know what the Queen Mother wants her to do.
After paying respect to the Queen Mother, Sun Xinran took the initiative to speak tremblingly, "I once met Princess Shen at a poetry meeting. At that time, Princess Shen was petite, which was very different from the palace banquet a few days ago. I felt puzzled at the time, but His Royal Highness Prince Li acted too normal, so I felt that I was too worried."
Lu Wan only heard these words and understood the empress dowager's sinister intentions. No wonder Sun Xinran mentioned Chen Yan in her words. It turned out that the empress dowager was trying to sow discord.
No wonder she could stir up so much trouble in the harem, this woman's mind is truly vicious.
At that time, Lu Wan didn't know that the Queen Mother's truly vicious methods were still to come.
Shuncai bowed to Lu Wan and said with a smile, "Your Excellency is now His Majesty's companion, and General Lu is fighting outside. When the Empress Dowager received the news, she was afraid that Your Excellency and the General were deceived by someone with ulterior motives, so she sent people out of the palace to investigate, and we actually found out something."
As he spoke, he clapped his hands again, and this time the person brought in was a little palace maid.
"When Prince Li got married, everyone said it was a good marriage. However, there have been rumors in the capital that the eldest daughter of the Lu family had heard that Prince Li was cruel and tyrannical, and did not want to marry such a man, so she ran away from the marriage overnight. But it is strange that if the eldest daughter of the Lu family really ran away from the marriage, who would have gotten into the bridal sedan and married Prince Li that day?"
This person is naturally my miserable predecessor.
