Chapter 129 I Can Tell Fortunes
Xie Chengyan turned and said, "Neither you nor I are in a good situation right now. We should be united against a common enemy. Today you help me with my plans, and I'll help you regain your freedom in the future. Constant fighting and killing doesn't sound good." Ye Lanzhou initially thought he was wrong. Her situation was indeed not good, being pushed around by others because she was pregnant with the royal heir. But Xie Chengyan was a prince, so how could he be in a bad situation?
She then thought back to when Jian Xing came to talk to him about marriage. He said that now that the young emperor has ascended the throne, the higher-ups are wary of the various princes' power, and it's hard to say who will make the first move...
Could this be what he meant by the bad situation?
Xie Chengyan didn't know what Ye Lanzhou was thinking. Seeing that she didn't say anything for a while, he slowly walked to the bed and said softly, "I trust you so much, you should trust me too."
The golden silkworm Gu is a living thing and is very obedient in Ye Lanzhou's hands. She put her hand on Xie Chengyan's cheek and spread her palm. The golden silkworm Gu crawled out and went straight to Xie Chengyan's eyes.
"I forgot to tell you, Your Majesty, this thing is sharp and a little painful, you have to bear with it."
As soon as she finished speaking, a sharp pain came from Xie Chengyan's eyes. The touch of this insect was magical. It covered his eyelids, but it felt like it was gnawing at the flesh inside his eyes.
This is not painful at all...
The veins on Xie Chengyan's neck bulged, and soon, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He clenched a corner of his clothes with his hand, causing wrinkles on the embroidered coat.
Ye Lanzhou took a look and knew that the pain was coming. He whispered, "Be gentle."
These words were spoken to the golden silkworm Gu. After a while, the pain in Xie Chengyan's eyes was indeed lessened. He slowly exhaled, lay on the bed, and his breathing began to gradually become even. After a while, he had become accustomed to this pain.
The sudden docility of the golden silkworm Gu was undoubtedly due to Ye Lanzhou's words.
This thing... can it understand human language?
At this moment, everything in front of him was deprived, and his hearing became unusually sharp. He heard Ye Lanzhou seem to drag a stool from outside the hall over and sit down.
As if she was too bored, she started talking to Xie Chengyan: "Yan Su's body is getting better, but she was injured by you. The medicine needs to be reduced, and she also needs to rest."
"I didn't ask her to do anything." Xie Chengyan thought of the artillery blueprint and knew she was talking about that. He then said, "If she can be useful to me in the future, I won't do anything to her."
Ye Lanzhou sat aside, watching the golden silkworm Gu move around on Xie Chengyan's face. Xie Chengyan was a brave man. Even with such a large insect playing tricks on his eyes, he could pretend nothing had happened. He asked, "Does the prince want her child to replace my 'child' and then take him to the court to make trouble?"
The golden silkworm Gu lay on Xie Chengyan's eyes, preventing her from seeing his expression. She only heard him chuckle and say, "How did you know?"
She had originally guessed this. Xie Chengyan had gone to such great lengths to hide her in the palace, and upon entering, he had specifically requested her unborn child. Yan Su was a traitor to the Shenji Camp, and Xie Chengyan had nearly killed her earlier, but upon learning she was pregnant, he pledged to protect her. Even Ye Lanzhou, no matter how naive, could still understand the stakes involved.
Logically, when Yan Su got pregnant, the child should be about the same age as hers. Then, if they could take Yan Su's child and say it was Ye Lanzhou's heir to the throne, no one would be able to say anything.
But Ye Lanzhou deliberately teased him at this moment, saying, "Your Highness, you may not know this, but I can tell fortunes and figure it out."
