"Have you thought it through?" Lan Shuang looked at Lan Sisi with a puzzled expression.
Lan Sisi was so ashamed that she couldn't even look at her. She lowered her eyes and looked at Lan Shuang's blood-stained skirt. Tears welled up in her eyes as she said, "I've made up my mind. Moduo needs an alliance now. I'm willing to be that bond, just to atone for my mother's sins."
"I don't need you to atone for my sins! Lan Sisi, lift your head up!" The queen was like a cat whose tail was stepped on. She tried hard to jump up, but was held down by the guards and could not get up at all.
Du Xilun was much calmer. He looked around and saw that no one wanted to plead for them. The situation was already hopeless, and if they pulled Lan Sisi into the water, there would be no chance of survival.
Marrying far away may not be a bad thing. You can bide your time and win over the forces of the Saibi Kingdom so that you can avenge them one day!
When Du Xilun thought of this, he looked at Lan Sisi as if he was looking at a savior, full of expectation and admiration.
Lan Sisi knew that he had misunderstood something, but he was about to die, so it would be better to lie to him.
Lan Shuang glanced at the queen, and the guards immediately covered the queen's mouth.
"Okay, since you've made up your mind, I promise you that once the envoys from Saibi arrive, we'll discuss the marriage."
"Thank you." Lan Sisi glanced at the queen and shed a tear. "When this is over, please send someone to let me know."
"Um."
After receiving a positive answer, Lan Sisi didn't stay any longer. She stood up, lifted her skirt and left.
The queen watched her figure gradually disappear and her vision became blurry.
After seeing Lan Sisi off, the last bit of warmth on Lan Shuang's face disappeared. She turned around and looked at the queen and Du Xilun. Her expression was cold and her eyes were like the abyss, which made people shudder.
"Dusilen, Celia, you two have tried to kill me time and time again. Now, in your greed, you've even set your sights on the king! I can't keep you here. With all the gentlemen here today, it's a good opportunity to serve as witnesses. Since the king has handed them over to me, I must not let you down."
She raised her sword, stepped in front of the two men, and said condescendingly, "However, considering that Celia is the queen and Dusilen is the former finance minister, a public execution would be detrimental to the royal family. Family disgrace should not be aired publicly, so we will execute them on the spot for treason."
After she finished speaking, she did not give the two men a chance to refute or quibble, and directly cut their necks with a sword. The two men opened their eyes wide, blood spurted out, and died.
No one present expected that she would kill without any hesitation, without giving anyone a chance to react!
Even her eyes didn't change, as if she was not killing two people, but some weeds.
Such a cruel method shocked everyone, and they looked at her with fear.
Lan Shuang didn't care at all, or perhaps this was the effect she wanted.
A king of a country can show mercy in majesty, but must never impose majesty in weakness.
Occasional kindness under a usual majesty will make people grateful, but if a person who has always been weak suddenly becomes majestic, the effect will be greatly reduced, because the image of weakness has been deeply rooted in people's hearts and it will be difficult to eradicate.
"Tsk—" In the dead silence, Lan Shuang suddenly curled her lips into a smile, as beautiful and cold as a red mountain plum.
"Don't be so nervous. Anyone who commits treason or rebellion will suffer the same fate. I hope you will all take this as a warning."
Louis was the first to stand up and bow: "My Louis family swears to follow Her Majesty the Queen until death!"
The old ministers who received Lan Shuang's letter also stood up and expressed their opinions.
The rest of the people, even if they had ulterior motives, did not dare to offend Lan Shuang and all bowed and pledged allegiance.
Lan Shuang nodded in satisfaction, and suddenly turned around and smiled at Los.
Los kept looking at her with a tolerant and proud look in his eyes, giving Lan Shuang the feeling that no matter what she did, he would always stand behind her and wait for her.
"Let's continue."
Lan Shuang suddenly cast off her evil and murderous intent. She threw away her sword, took Luo Si's hand and said, "Let's go. Today is our wedding day, we can't waste it."
Ross's smile widened: "Okay."
The two of them left like this. Before leaving, Lan Shuang said, "Investigate these rebellious soldiers, kill the leader, and exile the others."
Louis nodded: "Yes."
…
After Lan Shuang returned to the bedroom, she took a shower and changed into clean clothes. Los waited for her to come out before going in.
When I came out, Lan Shuang was already lying on the bed, drowsy.
He walked over lightly and touched the side of Lan Shuang's face. Lan Shuang immediately opened her eyes and looked at him. "Huh? Finished washing?"
Her voice was still a little confused. Los had an idea and leaned over to kiss her on the lips. When he spoke, his voice was filled with warm moisture, gentle and affectionate.
"Don't sleep."
Lan Shuang felt itchy on her lips and couldn't help but lick them, which was like adding fuel to the fire.
Los's eyes darkened, and he lowered his body a little. He placed his hands on the sides of Lan Shuang's face, grabbed a strand of her golden hair and stroked it gently, the same as he did on his lips.
Lan Shuang put her arms around his neck and obediently exchanged a gentle and lingering kiss with him.
Her whole body felt soft and she had no strength, as if she was wrapped in a pool of spring water. Lan Shuang squinted her eyes comfortably.
Ross took advantage of the victory, stood up, looked at her rosy lips and said hoarsely: "Can we continue?"
Lan Shuang smiled and nodded slightly.
After getting the answer, Los no longer restrained himself. He had been waiting for this day for too long.
Sometimes having memories is not necessarily a good thing. Those intimate and lingering moments can only remain in memory. It is difficult to put them into practice without letting your personality collapse.
Fortunately, he finally made it.
It’s time to eat.
…
Lan Shuang was awakened by a cool touch. Before she could figure out what it was, she felt her legs were a little tight, and there was a small piece of something going up her legs.
She turned her head and saw a silvery-white fish tail.
Lan Shuang: “…”
Seeing that she was awake, Ross leaned over and pecked her cheek, then asked with a smile, "Are you still tired?"
Lan Shuang said without hesitation: "Tired!"
Hesitating for even a second longer would be disrespectful to Los!
"Ah? But you've already slept for four hours."
Los's voice sounded regretful no matter how you listened to it.
Lan Shuang: “…”
Listen, is this human language? Four hours? How many hours did you torture me for?!
Seeing her expression gradually developing towards grief and anger, Los immediately came close to her, face to face, but his tail was still rubbing against her waist.
Lan Shuang shivered from the itchiness, "You... stop it!"
There was a gleam of lust in Los's clear eyes.
Lan Shuang: "Don't come over here."
Ross: "But I think..."
He leaned over and whispered in Lan Shuang's ear. Lan Shuang was distracted by the touch at first and didn't hear what he said clearly. She asked again, "What did you say?"
Los: “…”
Lan Shuang's body suddenly stiffened, and red instantly spread from her ears to her entire body, "You are not human!"
