Chapter 190: Both the people and the money belong to her
After dark, Qi Wuhan arranged a carriage to take Jiang Lan away and asked An Yue to protect her closely. Before Jiang Lan got on the carriage, Ye Xuanhe came over.
"Your Highness, are you planning to elope?" As he spoke, Canglang and Lu Feng walked around to the front of the carriage.
Qi Wuhan tilted his eyes, and his indifferent gaze swept over the two people blocking the front of the carriage, "I don't need to explain to the general what I want to do."
"If Your Highness deserts the battlefield, the master will have to take care of it." Lu Feng said.
Jiang Lan explained: "If he doesn't leave, I will leave."
"You can't leave either." Ye Xuanhe said.
Qi Wuhan's expression darkened, and his tone was stern, "Are you going to stop me?"
"Master, if she wants to leave, let her go. There's no point in her staying anyway, and she'll just be eating for free every day." Lu Feng said.
Jiang Lan: "..." I feel really sorry for eating for free every day...
"Your Highness is going to the capital, and people must stay." Ye Xuanhe's tone was not harsh, but there was no intention of giving in in his words.
"I'm weak and I eat for free every day. There's no point in me staying here." Jiang Lan humbly admitted her shortcomings, easing the atmosphere a little.
Lu Feng echoed, "Yes, Master, she is very picky. She won't eat this or that, and she even cooks for her every day."
"Yes, yes, you're right." Jiang Lan nodded hurriedly. "I'm a picky person, so I won't stay and cause you any trouble."
As she spoke, she saw that the two of them were still staring at each other, as if they had not heard what she and Lu Feng said at all.
"Your Highness, don't forget the three-day deadline His Majesty gave you," Ye Xuanhe said with a casual smile, "Your Highness can leave, but I must give His Majesty an explanation." When he mentioned the explanation, his eyes swept over Jiang Lan. Qi Wuhan blocked Jiang Lan behind him, his eyes slightly cold, "What kind of explanation?"
"As long as Miss Jiang is here, His Highness will definitely come back. As long as His Highness can come back, I will have given an explanation to His Majesty." Ye Xuanhe said.
Jiang Lan finally understood what was going on. It turned out that they wanted to use her as a hostage...
"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will have people serve Miss Jiang well with delicious food and drink. Your Highness can go without worry." Ye Xuanhe said again.
Jiang Lan thought to herself, "Let's go without worry," but it didn't sound very auspicious...
"What if I don't agree?" Qi Wuhan's eyes turned cold, and there was a hint of cold and dark hostility in his eyes.
Ye Xuanhe said, "Then I have no choice but to send a message to Your Majesty, saying that His Highness wants to elope with someone and no longer wants to be the Crown Prince." He sighed again, "Since ancient times, beautiful women have often had tragic fates. As for whether Your Majesty will blame Miss Jiang, I don't know."
Qi Wuhan stared at the amber pupils that were emitting a faint cold light, and the murderous aura emanating from his body became stronger and stronger. At this time, Jiang Lan gently pulled his sleeve. He looked back at her and she nodded to him. The two of them did not need to say much, they could understand each other's meaning with just a glance.
"Okay, I'll stay." She said as she walked out from behind him.
Ye Xuanhe made a gesture of invitation, "It's getting late, Your Highness, please go back and rest early."
Qi Wuhan reached out, took Jiang Lan's hand, and took her away.
Lu Feng stared at Jiang Lan's back, and just as he put his hand on the hilt of the sword, Canglang grabbed his hand.
"Even if you launch a sneak attack, you won't succeed." Ye Xuanhe turned his gaze away. "And what did I just say? Did you ignore it?"
There was a hint of coldness in those amber pupils.
Lu Feng turned his head away and muttered, "He is not worthy of the Second Young Lady at all."
Ye Xuanhe glanced at the bright moon in the night sky, walked away, and Canglang followed him. Lu Feng kicked a stone at his feet and followed him away.
…..
After returning to the tent, Qi Wuhan was still holding Jiang Lan's hand. She said a little worriedly, "Will they suspect that you have remembered it?" He asked her to sit down first, then squatted in front of her, looking at her without saying anything, as if he had something to hide.
Jiang Lan caught the guilt and hesitation in his eyes, just like those men who dared not confess after cheating. She narrowed her eyes, stared at his face and asked, "Did you do anything to offend me?"
Qi Wuhan curled his lips and smiled, "No, how could I dare to do that."
Jiang Lan said, "Then you have the will but not the courage to do it."
He took her hand and placed it on his chest, asking her to feel it to see if she had any evil intentions. She looked at her hand on his chest, thinking of the painful look on his face when he had grabbed his chest with his hand before, and asked softly, "Does it still hurt?" He was slightly stunned, then shook his head, "It's okay."
Looking at the gentle smile on his face, Jiang Lan knew that he was not telling the truth. She asked about the situation on Ye Rushui's side. Qi Wuhan said that she was fine and stayed in the library reading books every day.
Jiang Lan was a little surprised. It had been a month, and she still didn't expect that he was reading in the library. His perseverance was truly amazing. With such perseverance, he would surely become a famous doctor in the future.
"I made a bet with my father, and I lost." He curled his lips and smiled faintly, his expression a little gloomy.
Jiang Lan was stunned for a moment, thinking about everything that had happened before, and slowly pulled her hand out of his grasp. She still felt a little uncomfortable, and after a moment of silence, she asked, "Did you already know who Wei Ping belonged to?"
Qi Wuhan nodded.
Jiang Lan's heart tightened, a bitter taste filling the air. After another silence, she said, "So you already knew it was your father..."
She gasped. Whenever she thought of the eagle-shaped ring, and who had wanted to take her life in both her past lives, she couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart. Rationally, she knew she shouldn't blame him. After all, he didn't know his own life story either. He had also said his last name was Qi, not Mu. But why him? If he hadn't been taken back to Beimo, the two of them might have been living a life of luxury and leisure by now...
She frowned, her lips pursed so tightly they were almost pale. A hand gently caressed her face, his fingertips gently stroking her frown to smooth it out. She raised her eyes, and her gaze suddenly met those gentle and deep peach blossom eyes. He gently hugged her, pressed his lips against hers, and kissed her restrainedly and gently. A crystal tear rolled down, and he gently kissed it away, holding her in his arms and comforting her, "It's okay, it's all my fault. Crying any more will hurt your body."
Jiang Lan buried her head in the clothes on his chest and wiped her eyes, her voice still nasal, "I didn't cry."
"Okay, I didn't cry." Qi Wuhan patted her back gently. "When everything is over, I will take you away. Haven't you always wanted to visit Jiangnan? Then let's live in Jiangnan for a few years. If you get tired of it, we can move to another place. I will listen to you wherever you want to go."
Jiang Lan listened to him and a smile gradually appeared on her face. "Then you should save more money. You can't let me and the child starve."
"Okay." Qi Wuhan agreed gently, his peach blossom eyes full of smiles.
At this moment, Jiang Lan was thinking very clearly in her mind. She wanted him, no matter whether he was a marquis or a prince, she wanted him and would not give him the chance to spend money on other women.
His body is hers, his money is hers, and no one else can take advantage of him.
…
The next morning, King Rui sent someone to inform Qi Wuhan to set off.
Jiang Lan watched him leave with his men. As her figure became increasingly blurred, her nose felt a little sore and a tear rolled down her face without her noticing. She turned her face away and wiped her eyes.
I don't know why, but she seems to be particularly emotional lately, making her feel a little pretentious.
"What's the point of crying? His Highness can't see it." Lu Feng glanced at her and said to himself, "I don't know if my uncle can come back safely this time."
Ye Xuanhe asked Canglang to accompany him, and Lu Feng stayed behind.
If it were usual, Jiang Lan would definitely not bother with him, but at this moment, she didn't want to indulge him. "Isn't it okay for me to feel bad? Do you think I want to cry? I know you hate me, and I hate you too."
Lu Feng walked away a little and muttered.
Jiang Lan heard it with her sharp ears, "You are the shrew, I hate you, I hate you!"
"How can a woman like you who is so tearful and annoying be compared to the Second Young Lady?" Lu Feng looked at her with disgust.
After venting her emotions, Jiang Lan calmed down. She walked forward a few steps as if nothing had happened, looking at the figure under the city wall in the distance.
