Chapter 151: Surname Wei
Two days later, when Qi Wuhan came back from court, he accidentally saw Jiang Lan coming to find Xie Yun to bring him food. Seeing the two of them talking and laughing, he felt a little annoyed.
When Jiang Lan looked over there, there was no one there. Xie Yun also looked over there and asked, "Sister Lan, what's wrong?" She shook her head and said nothing was wrong. A trace of loss flashed through her heart. She thought Qi Wuhan was standing over there just now, but it was just her illusion.
Over the past two days, she had had this illusion from time to time, thinking that he would be standing outside the greenhouse, secretly watching her. But every time she quietly walked to the window and looked out, her hope was always dashed, reminding her again and again to face reality. He was now the Crown Prince of Beimo, not the Marquis of Jin'an. He was no longer called Qi Wuhan, but Mu, Mu Jue...
"Sister Lan, I have a way that should make your brother-in-law remember." Xie Yun glanced around and said in a low voice, "As long as you get married again, he will definitely remember your wedding ceremony."
Jiang Lan smiled, a smile that seemed a little forced. "Forget it, let it be. Maybe not being able to remember it isn't necessarily a bad thing for him."
"So," Xie Yun hesitated for a moment and whispered, "you don't plan to take him back?"
Jiang Lan shook her head, lowered her eyelashes, and said slowly, "I don't know, sometimes I do, sometimes I don't..." She was silent for a while, gritted her teeth and made up her mind, "Instead of letting him be a prisoner for his whole life, it is better to let him be his Royal Highness the Crown Prince." As soon as she said it, she wanted to regret it. Reason and emotion clashed fiercely, making a mess.
"Sister Lan, remember what I told you, don't be too hard on yourself about everything, do what you can, do your best, and leave the rest to God." Xie Yun counseled in a gentle tone.
Jiang Lan nodded, her gaze extending to the distant horizon. One month had passed since the three-month deadline, and it would take some time to go back. If the journey went smoothly, she could arrive in half a month. If it was as bumpy as the way she came, she would have to reserve a few more days. She would stay here for at most another month before she had to start thinking of a way to leave.
…
Here, Qi Wuhan returned to the study and handled official business there for the whole morning. He did not have dinner at noon. In the afternoon, he opened the door of the study and left.
In the greenhouse, Jiang Lan was watering a pot of Phalaenopsis orchid. After slowly pouring water into the pot, she turned around with a watering can to scoop water from the bucket. When she turned around, she found that there was an extra person next to her. She raised her head, and when her eyes met that face, she retracted her eyes, bent down, scooped up a bucket of water, and walked over to water another pot of pink Phalaenopsis orchid next to her, pretending not to see him.
Qi Wuhan didn't say anything, just stood aside and watched her water the flowers.
There were only two people in the greenhouse, and there was no other sound except the slow sound of watering.
When Jiang Lan was watering the fifth pot of flowers, Qi Wu Han said, "This pot of flowers is blooming beautifully. Send it to me later." She turned her head and glanced at him, but still didn't speak to him.
"This pot is also good. Send it to me."
“…”
…
When the water in the bucket was almost scooped out, Jiang Lan put the ladle in it, picked up the bucket and prepared to leave, but he moved in front of her. She took a step to the left, and he also moved a step to the left. She moved a step to the right, and he also moved a step to the right. He acted as if nothing had happened, which successfully annoyed her.
"What exactly does Your Highness want to do?" She had a stern face, looking like an icy beauty.
Qi Wuhan raised the corner of his lips slightly, and said with a half-smile: "Didn't you say that if you care about me again, you're a pig?"
“.…..”
Damn it, he actually heard it...
Jiang Lan turned her head and said to the flower pot beside her, "I'm not talking to His Highness, I'm talking to it."
Qi Wuhan glanced at the flower pot, and said with a hint of teasing, "How about I find an imperial physician to see you, so that you don't have to talk to cats and dogs in a few days."
Jiang Lan looked at the pot of flowers and said, "I'm fine. Your Highness should go see a doctor."
Qi Wuhan took a step closer to her and said, "Then tell me, what disease do you want to cure?"
Jiang Lan turned around and raised a hand towards him, pointing her index finger at his heart, saying, "Cure your heart. I think your heart is as big as a mung bean now, and it needs to be cured." She was about to withdraw her hand when he grabbed it. The next moment, he pulled her forward and she fell into his arms. Before she could stand firmly, he held her in his arms, with both hands around her waist. He said in an ambiguous tone, "How dare you say that I have a narrow mind? How do you think I should punish you?"
Jiang Lan remembered how he had treated her before, and she was still angry. She clenched her fists and punched his shoulders several times, venting her anger as she did so. "Didn't you say you weren't in the mood? Didn't you tell me to get lost? Why are you looking for me again? Do you think I'm easy to bully? You can come when you call me and leave when you don't? What do you think of me?"
Qi Wuhan interrupted her, "When did I tell you to get out? Please don't wrongly accuse me."
Jiang Lan looked up at him, her eyes watery and her lips pursed, as if she was about to cry. She said stubbornly, "That's what you meant."
"Aren't you being unreasonable?" Qi Wuhan curled the corners of his lips slightly, seeming to be in a very happy mood.
Jiang Lan said angrily: "I am being unreasonable, I am being irrational, and I am being unreasonable."
The next moment he lowered his head and blocked her lips...
He held her tighter and tighter, his hands gradually gathered around her waist, and the desire for possession grew like a weed in his heart...
When he let her go, her breathing was still a little rapid, and her cheeks were flushed, as if they were stained with hot rouge. He raised his hand, and his slightly cool fingertips gently stroked her rosy lips, gently lifted her chin, and when he lowered his head again to kiss her, Ling Feng's voice came from outside the door.
"Your Highness, His Majesty has summoned you."
When the door of the greenhouse opened and Qi Wuhan walked out, he became the indifferent Crown Prince again and left with Ling Feng.
Jiang Lan stood by the window and watched him walk out of the yard. Her face was still a little hot. She raised her hand and touched her lips lightly, then patted her cheek to calm herself down. They were already an old couple, it was just kissing and hugging, why were they still as shy as a young girl who had just fallen in love? She took a deep breath and calmed down...
Later, when she was watering the flowers, she hummed a song unconsciously. After humming for a while, her relaxed mood gradually disappeared, and her thoughts were disturbed again by the matter of going back. She didn't know whether to keep a distance or obey her heart. If she became closer to him, would she still have the determination and courage to let him stay? Maybe for her own selfish reasons, she would find a way to take him back with her... She stared at the flowerpot in front of her in a daze, and didn't notice that there was someone behind her.
When the other person spoke, she was startled.
"lady?"
Jiang Lan turned around and saw Butler Shi's face. She immediately tensed up and watched his every move vigilantly.
"Why are you here?" Her gaze lingered on the black eagle-wing ring on his thumb, and she quietly moved away.
"I didn't expect to see my wife again. This is not a good thing for me."
It was indeed him. He shot an arrow to kill me in the previous life, and now he wants to kill her again in this life!
"Who are you?" Jiang Lan asked.
He twirled the ring on his thumb and said, "Madam, do you know that I have a younger brother? He was gifted since childhood and became a commander at a young age. He led troops to attack the Central Plains a few years ago, but he died at the hands of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He was skinned and his tendons were pulled out, and his bones were made into a fan."
It turns out that his bone fan is really made of bones. She asked tentatively, "So you want to kill me to avenge your brother?"
"Madam, you are wrong. Although my brother is talented, he is cruel by nature. During the expedition to the Central Plains, he captured your Highness's adoptive father alive, turned him into a human pig, and tortured him to death. He deserved this fate. It was his own fault."
"Your last name is Wei?"
"Wei Ping, this is my name."
He walked towards her step by step, as if to see her off.
Jiang Lan immediately took out a whistle and was about to blow it. A flash of light passed by, and she felt a slight pain on her neck. Before she could blow the whistle, she fainted. A silver needle pierced her neck.
When Xie Yun came to find Jiang Lan to have dinner together, he found her fainted on the floor of the greenhouse. When he ran over to help her up, he found that her hands were extremely cold. He suddenly became panicked, and his hands were shaking when he checked her breath. Only when he felt her breathing did his heart settle back down, and he hurriedly carried her to find Qi Wuhan.
But Qi Wuhan had not returned yet, so he hurriedly sent someone to call a doctor. However, the people in Ganyue Palace did not dare to act on their own, so he went to call the doctor himself. When he brought the imperial physician back, Qi Wuhan had also returned.
Upon learning that Jiang Lan had fainted, Qi Wuhan's heart suddenly tightened. When he saw Jiang Lan lying unconscious on the bed, the hand behind his back suddenly clenched into a fist.
When the imperial physician took Jiang Lan's pulse, he was also shocked. The skin on her wrist was extremely cold, as if it had been covered with ice.
After the imperial physician took the pulse, Xie Yun anxiously asked about the situation. The imperial physician reported to Qi Wuhan that it should be a cold attack and needed to be treated with medicated bath and hot compress.
Qi Wuhan asked the imperial physician to prepare the medicinal bath. He glanced at Xie Yun, who was guarding the bedside, and walked over to him and ordered indifferently, "Get out."
Xie Yun stood up and stopped as he passed him. His eyes were cold. "If you can't protect Sister Lan, I will take her back."
When there were only two of them left in the room, Qi Wuhan sat down beside the bed. As soon as he touched her face, he was startled by her cold skin. He touched her forehead again, touched her hand, then helped her up, put his palm on her back, and circulated his internal energy to drive away the cold for her.
When Ling Feng reported outside that the medicinal bath was ready, he withdrew his hand, picked up Jiang Lan and left.
After an hour of medicinal bath, he carried her back and had someone put a charcoal brazier in the hall to keep her warm.
