Chapter 147: Going to raise a horse for me
"Madam, please wait inside for a while. The Marquis is still taking a bath." Ling Feng whispered to Jiang Lan, then pushed open the door and led her in.
She whispered, "Is there anyone to help him bathe?"
Ling Feng nodded.
She continued in a low voice, "Male or female?"
Ling Feng replied: "Both."
"I didn't need anyone to serve me at home before..." she muttered, her brows slightly furrowed.
Ling Feng explained again: "Don't worry, Madam. The Marquis has never done anything to let you down."
Jiang Lan's mood brightened a little, and she whispered, "Then he..." She paused, a glimmer of hope in her eyes, "Do you think he remembered, and that's why he asked you to bring me here secretly?"
Ling Feng bowed and Jiang Lan looked in the direction he was bowing and found someone walking towards her from behind the curtain.
She first saw two maids, wearing gauze, revealing their snow-white arms, looking very cool. She didn't know whether all the palace maids dressed like this, or only the palace maids in his palace dressed like this. She turned to look at Ling Feng, her eyes seemed to say, "Are you sure he has never done anything to let me down?"
Ling Feng lowered his head and couldn't see her eyes.
Two maids opened the curtain and Qi Wuhan walked out.
As soon as he came out, Jiang Lan's face turned red.
He was only wearing a loose robe with the collar open, revealing his well-proportioned collarbones and strong chest, as well as some lean abdominal muscles. His hair was casually draped over his shoulders, as black as jade, making his figure look even more slender and handsome.
When he walked out, he glanced at Jiang Lan, then walked to the couch in front, supported his head with one hand, crossed his legs, and leaned on it casually, exuding a lazy and bewitching temperament. Even his voice was drawn out a bit, and he looked very relaxed.
"Why don't you kneel when you see me?"
He glanced over and saw Jiang Lan pouting, looking like she was about to cry, with tears glistening in her eyes.
"I hate crying women the most," he said indifferently, "annoying."
When Jiang Lan uttered the last word, her eyes turned red. She looked at him with a stubborn look and said, "I didn't cry."
His gaze stayed on her aggrieved little face with her brows furrowed into an upside-down eight shape for two seconds, then his gaze moved to Ling Feng, "There is nothing for you to do here, go down." Ling Feng took the order and left.
He looked away slightly, and the two maids also took their leave.
With the two of them alone in the room, Jiang Lan's heart rekindled with hope, her eyes filled with eagerness as she waited for him to speak and acknowledge her. However, seeing that his expression remained unchanged from beginning to end, her hope gradually faded away...
"Let me ask you, where did those slaves in the mine escape to?" Qi Wuhan's indifferent tone did not change.
So this is what he came to ask her. Jiang Lan's hope was completely extinguished, and her head drooped. She shook her head to indicate that she didn't know. Seeing that he didn't say anything, she looked up at him again, and met his indifferent gaze, as if he was looking at a stranger. Her heart began to feel sour again, as if she was pricked by a small needle, and it hurt every time, endlessly.
"You really don't remember me?" She looked at him like a helpless child, not knowing what to do.
Qi Wuhan stood up and walked towards her. Hope rekindled in Jiang Lan's heart. With every step he took, her nervousness and anticipation grew. When he reached her, the joy welling up in her heart was about to burst out. She felt that he would reach out and hug her in the next moment, and whisper softly in her ear, "Xiao Lan'er, don't be afraid, I'm here..."
The next moment he put his hand on her neck, but did not strangle her. He just pressed his fingers lightly on the skin without using much strength. When he put his hand on her neck, he felt a strange feeling in his heart. He thought her neck was so slender, as if it would break if he pinched it lightly.
"I'll ask you again, where did those people escape to?" His eyes just turned a little colder, a teardrop fell on the back of his hand, and he subconsciously loosened his hand a little.
Jiang Lan looked at him with red eyes, tears welling up in her eyes. One tear could no longer be held back and fell down her cheek. She whimpered, like a wronged kitten, her voice choked with sobs, "You are mean to me, you have never been mean to me before..."
When she said this, she felt even more wronged, and tears popped up one after another like mushrooms after rain, falling on the back of his hand. Qi Wuhan frowned slightly, retracted his hand, turned sideways and said, "I have never seen a woman who cries as much as you." He caught a glimpse of her face crying like a little cat, and stopped talking. He turned around and was about to go back, but she reached out and grabbed his sleeve. He glanced back at the hand, then moved his gaze to her drooping face, and did not shake it off like last time.
"As long as you tell me where those people went, I will let you stay, how about it?" He raised his hand and lifted her chin, his voice carrying a hint of tenderness, but a frivolous smile hung at the corner of his lips, as if he was using his beauty to seduce her.
Jiang Lan really wanted to stay by his side, but she really didn't know where those people had gone. If it were anyone else, she would have lied long ago, but she didn't want to lie to him. "If I had known, I wouldn't have been tied up. Those people must have been planning this for a long time, and there's no way they would have told a newcomer like me. If I hadn't been captured and forced to work like them, I might have died."
"If you dare to lie to me," Qi Wuhan stared into her eyes. Before he could finish his words, Jiang Lan said angrily, "then you can kill me. Anyway, there are so many beauties here to serve you. It doesn't matter if I am missing."
Qi Wuhan curled his lips slightly, perhaps because he found her words funny or because he realized she was jealous. He turned around and said, "I can spare you. Then go raise horses for me."
"What about my cousin? His injury hasn't healed yet," Jiang Lan said. Qi Wuhan paused, his eyes slightly tilted, and asked, "You care about him a lot?" She said firmly, "He's my cousin. I won't let anything happen to him." He frowned slightly, and a hint of coldness came into his indifferent tone. "You, like him?"
Jiang Lan was slightly stunned for a moment, then shook her head and explained: "It's not the kind of love between men and women. He is my brother, just like my eldest brother."
"You have an older brother?" The indifferent expression on Qi Wuhan's face seemed to fade a little.
Jiang Lan nodded and said, "My elder brother"
"I'm not interested in knowing. Get out."
“.…..”
When Jiang Lan was almost at the door, she stopped, turned around, and said to him with a resolute look, "Whether you remember it or not, I am your wife. If you marry someone else, then I will marry someone else!" After that, she opened the door and walked out. Then his indifferent voice came from inside, "Take her to feed the horses."
Ling Feng took Jiang Lan away, first took her to see Xie Yun, and then took the two of them to the horse farm.
When Ling Feng came back to report, he met Ye Xuanhe on the way, with Canglang following behind him.
"Where did Your Highness hide the person?" Ye Xuanhe asked casually with a casual smile.
Ling Feng did not answer.
"It seems that His Highness still can't forget the old love." He said jokingly and left with Canglang.
After Ling Feng came back to report, he also reported what happened when he met Ye Xuanhe on the road.
"I think the general is heading to Tianchen Pavilion."
Hearing the words "Tianchen Pavilion", Qi Wuhan hesitated for a moment and said, "I understand. I will leave."
Later, when Ye Xuanhe came to pay him a visit, Qi Wuhan casually asked, "I heard that you went to see the high priest?"
"I would like to ask the high priest to divine and see in which direction those slaves ran?" Ye Xuanhe replied.
Qi Wuhan asked, "Has the high priest figured it out?"
Ye Xuanhe said, "The high priest is still in seclusion. This humble servant has made a wasted trip." Then he changed the subject and asked, "There are two people missing from the mine. Does Your Highness know where they are?"
Qi Wuhan asked in return: "Should I know?"
Ye Xuanhe said: "After all, she is your Highness's first wife, so it wouldn't hurt for your Highness to show more concern for her."
Qi Wuhan said, "It's not up to others to tell me what to do."
"Your humble servant has overstepped his bounds." Ye Xuanhe apologized and reminded him, "Although Taifu Wei is on Your Highness's side now, Your Highness still needs to be more careful. After all, Your Highness has a grudge against him for killing your son, and you never know if he will bite you back one day." After saying that, he bowed and took his leave.
Qi Wuhan walked to the window and looked at the snow mulberry tree outside. A sentence echoed in his mind, "If you marry someone else, then I will marry again!"
He frowned slightly, a feeling of irritation rising in his heart, which was covered by a cold emotion the next moment.
