Lou Wanyue's face was filled with embarrassment, and she finally smiled bitterly: "I am too stingy, and I don't have the ability. If I really had half of your ability, maybe Dongfang Run would not be like this..."
"No, it's not your fault. It's just that he is confused. When he wakes up one day, he will find that the woman who deserves the most love and cherishment is right beside him. You will definitely wait for the clouds to clear... It's not easy for me to tell him anything about this matter. At most, I can give him a word when we meet next time. You are not allowed to blame me or be angry with me, okay?" An Qingran shook her hand, looking like a spoiled child.
"No wonder so many people like you. Look, I can't even get mad at you..." Lou Wanyue burst into laughter, watching An Qingran pat her face, "Tell me, I was bullied to death by you, and I died with a smile on my face."
"How could I bully you? Not only are you my cousin, but you are also my closest sister, closer than real sisters. You don't even know that I treat you sincerely. It's OK if you didn't know it, but now you know it, don't misunderstand me anymore."
"Of course not."
The two sisters smiled at each other.
When An Qingran saw the smile on Lou Wanyue's face, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She really didn't expect that Dongfang Run would like her so much. She thought that after giving him the birthday present and marrying Dongfang Jin, he would come to his senses. However, she didn't expect him to be so stubborn. In this respect, he is somewhat similar to Dongfang Jin. No wonder they are brothers.
"Don't worry, I'll help you find a way. You must take him down and not let him waste his time foolishly."
Lou Wanyue chuckled and nodded. If it was really possible, she would certainly like to do it.
Three days later.
An Qingran and Dongfang Jin returned to the palace.
The two men only brought with them a maid named Rendong and a dozen guards, and traveled in a light carriage.
People go away, the dead return to dust, and the living mourn, but time is really the best medicine.
An Qingran didn't know why she thought of An Yanran at this moment. After her death, she was not as happy as she had imagined. She didn't take care of her child anymore. She only heard occasionally that the child was sick and the imperial physician was called in every few days. She had checked the child's pulse when he was born. If what she said was correct, the child would not live beyond one year old unless a miracle happened.
Thinking of this, she felt a little uncomfortable.
Dongfang Jin noticed her depression and asked softly, "What's wrong? Where do you feel uncomfortable? Do you feel nauseous or want to vomit?"
"ah?"
Dongfang Jin smiled evilly: "Do you want to eat something sour?"
"You're annoying!" An Qingran finally understood what he wanted to express and couldn't help but smile.
"Okay, the world is peaceful now, and we have nothing to worry about. If you keep frowning, I will think that you are dissatisfied with me in some way. If you are really dissatisfied with me, just tell me directly, okay?" Dongfang Jin said this very seriously.
An Qingran looked at the handsome man, smiled and shook her head. If she was still not satisfied with him, then what kind of person could catch her eye? But she didn't say anything, just looked at him with a faint smile: "What's wrong? Are you panicking? Did you do something that makes me unhappy?"
Dongfang Jin thought about it seriously for a long time, and finally shook his head: "So far, I haven't done anything. Of course, if you insist on saying that I have done something..."
At this point, he paused. An Qingran's heart moved, "What are you hiding from me?"
Dongfang Jin nodded: "There is one thing I am not trying to hide from you, I just haven't figured out how to tell you."
"Really?" An Qingran was panicked. What was it? Was he hiding a mistress outside?
Looking at his calm eyes, it doesn’t seem like that.
Finally she took a breath and said, "If you don't think it's necessary to tell me for now, or if you haven't thought it through, then wait until you've made up your mind. I don't mind."
"Really?"
"It's true."
"I want to tell you now... Wanquan Teahouse is owned by me." Dongfang Jin said quickly and waited for An Qingran's reaction.
"You opened it?" An Qingran recalled the environment and the grand plan there. At that time, she wondered what kind of person could do that.
I didn't expect that it would be the person sleeping next to me.
He really kept surprising her.
"Because the place where the most information is concentrated is the market teahouse."
"But your teahouse is so high-end..." At this point, An Qingran suddenly realized that the people who come and go in this teahouse must be extremely wealthy and noble. Such information cannot be compared with ordinary restaurants. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Dongfang Jin with admiration.
Dongfang Jin was relieved to see that she was not angry. He did not expect that the secret would be revealed like this, and he did not feel it was earth-shattering.
Dongfang Jin smiled, and An Qingran looked at him: "Is there something I don't know..."
Dongfang Jin smiled and was about to answer when suddenly the carriage shook, as if the carriage had run over a large rock and instantly fell to one side. Without a second thought, Dongfang Jin embraced An Qingran in his arms, slapped the roof of the carriage with his right palm and flew into the air. As soon as they got out, they realized that something was wrong: they had been surrounded!
A group of masked men came up from the woods, about thirty or forty of them.
"I can protect myself." An Qingran understood that seeing the situation clearly would give Dongfang Jinkuan peace of mind.
How could Dongfang Jin leave her? He just protected her in front of him and said coldly: "You bunch of villains, you come to die without even choosing a time."
Dongfang Jin has never been so mean.
Today he was furious.
"What we want today is your life!" The group of people shouted and rushed up, swords flying, and every move was deadly. The guards rushed up, An Qingran hurriedly asked Rendong to come forward, and Dongfang Jin did not rush out, but stood beside An Qingran, with a handsome face covered with icy stubble. A masked man rushed in front of him, Dongfang Jin kicked him away, then hugged An Qingran and landed on the overturned carriage. The terrain there was high and it was clear that this forest was the only passage leading to Yuehua Temple. There were pedestrians coming from afar, and they turned around and ran away when they heard the sound. Dongfang Jin regretted that he did not bring enough guards, but fortunately, the guards were all brave and could fight one against two. But those masked men were really good at martial arts. It seemed that the person behind the scenes wanted his life too much.
Dongfang Jin sneered and thought, no matter what, there will be a fierce battle today.
Blood was splattered everywhere, and there were broken legs and arms. An Qingran tore off her inner clothes and began to bandage the broken-armed guard who fell beside her. The man had fainted from the pain. An Qingran saw another guard fall down, and she wanted to rush forward, but was pulled back by Dongfang Jin. There were many blood spots on his body, all of which were from other people, and blood was dripping from the tip of the sword. An Qingran hadn't seen such a bloody scene for a long time, and her stomach churned. Honeysuckle seemed like a person who had experienced a big scene. Although her face was pale, she was not panicked at all. She knew to avoid the flying branches and leaves from time to time, and she knew to protect An Qingran.
An Qingran knew that this fierce battle would not last long. The sound of fighting here would surely spread far away. If someone heard it, they would naturally report it to the authorities. However, could they hold on before the officials arrived?
In fact, she had already expected the assassination. Dongfang Jin was so powerful now and most of the state affairs were handled by him. It would be strange if the people in the dark were not upset. When she was in the palace, she was waiting for an event, and sure enough, those people lost their patience.
The fighting continued, dust rose, blood appeared, An Qingran looked at everything in front of her, for a moment, she was a little dazed, was it she who caused all this killing?
It was like this in the last life, and it is like this in this life. If I hadn't entered the palace, would things have changed?
But if she hadn't entered the palace, Dongfang Jin wouldn't be alive now, how could that be possible? Thinking of this, she bent down and picked up a knife, turned around and smiled at Dongfang Jin: "We can't die here, so listen to me, fight our way out together, and we must stay alive."
Those masked men have a great advantage. They have lost five of their dozen men, while the other side still has more than twenty people. They are still very motivated and probably think victory is in sight.
Seeing his people being forced into a smaller and smaller circle, Dongfang Jin held An Qingran's hand tightly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
An Qingran smiled and said, "As long as we are together, we don't have to be afraid of anything."
"Yes." Dongfang Jin's eyebrows flew up, and he instantly rose into the air with heroic spirit. His movements were graceful and neat. The moment he fell to the ground, there were screams. It was only because he was worried about An Qingran that he fell back to her side. "After a while, tear open a hole and rush out first. Don't look back. The farther you run, the better."
"No. We agreed to be together, so we can't separate." An Qingran said firmly.
Dongfang Jin really didn't say anything when he saw this. His clothes were stained with blood. He seldom encountered such an opponent, but it also aroused his unprecedented fighting spirit. An Qingran only thought at this moment that she must survive. She must never let those enemies succeed again in this life. She must protect her man.
The sky gradually darkened, the autumn wind picked up, the leaves lifted up in the forest swirled and scattered, finally falling to the ground. The sound of weapons tore apart all the tranquility and beauty in the forest. The cruelty of the world was so unbearable that the birds in the forest could not bear to watch and flew away long ago. An Qingran breathed heavily, and it seemed as if a bellows was being pulled in her chest. She had never been so tired before. This was a good time to test her kung fu, but she didn't want it to happen again. Or were they really going to end up like this?
She and Dongfang Jin were standing back to back, and Dongfang Jin's back was soaked with sweat. He was still wondering, who is this person? Could it be that all the top masters in the world were gathered here?
Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly, the encirclement was disrupted and was broken from the back. Several people rushed in and started fighting when they saw the masked man. An Qingran was in a good mood when he saw the white figure at the back. That person was Dongfang Run.
