Chapter 4: Cutting out the heart and liver and cooking two dishes
Qi Yunzhou showed a look of caution: "Prince Regent, you and I are only acquaintances. It is better not to get involved too much when we go to Youzhou."
Xie Lan smiled: "I know, but I don't think I spoke to His Highness?"
"Then the Regent wants to..."
Qi Yunzhou gritted his teeth.
This guy is always against him, and it's the same now... no, it should be said that it has become even worse.
but……
Why did he feel that this bastard Xie Lan had become more lively?
Unlike before, he always looked like he was about to die no matter where he was.
After crossing Qiyunzhou, Xie Lan looked at Chen Xun, the smile on his lips widening. "I feel a sense of familiarity with the young lady from the moment I saw her. I wonder if I could follow her all the way?"
Xie Lan has a secret.
He might be a monster, an immortal monster.
From childhood to adulthood, no matter how badly injured I was, or how many times I tried to commit suicide, I never died.
Xie Lan was a rebellious person, so he just wanted to try and figure out how to die.
However, because his parents were still alive and he did not want them to see their children die, he did not start his suicide plan until his parents died when he was a teenager.
However, his plan was interrupted by the sudden appearance of an imperial edict.
An inexplicable force drove Xie Lan to act according to the requirements of the imperial edict. Xie Lan could not resist and could only do as he was told.
Today, Xie Lan discovered that the power had disappeared. In order to celebrate that he could restart his suicide plan, Xie Lan decided to show some kindness before he died and send Qi Yunzhou off.
Qi Yunzhou was an acquaintance of his after all, so giving him a visit would make the ten years of love-hate friendship between the two of them worthwhile (?).
This sending was not a big deal, but it ruined his intention to die.
Because he saw Shen Xun.
It was as if he was just a walking corpse in the past, but became a living person after meeting Chen Xun.
He... doesn't want to die anymore!
Just by receiving a look from Shen Xun, Xie Lan felt his heart tremble.
I just feel that even if Shen Xun wants to use his heart and liver to eat with wine, he will have to cut it out himself and cook four dishes and a soup, and then warm up a pot of good wine.
Oh, he also has to personally serve Chen Xun during meals, after all, no one else is as careful as he is.
Chen Xun curled his lips, "What do you mean by follow or not? Isn't the Regent going to Youzhou with us?"
Xie Lan smiled brightly, "Does that mean... that the girl agrees?"
Shen Xun remained silent.
She didn't believe in the idea of feeling familiar with each other at first sight.
But she believed in her intuition, which told her that the person in front of her was her husband, Qi Lan.
Xie Lan smiled and handed the roasted rabbit to Shen Xun: "Miss, please eat."
"By the way, I'm not the regent anymore. Can you call me 'Alan' from now on?"
Shen Xun said inexplicably: "Okay."
The two of them had a very pleasant conversation, at least that was what Qi Yunzhou thought.
Qi Yunzhou was so angry that he was fuming, but he didn't dare to disturb them. He could only talk to Chen Dexi and Xie Lan behind their backs:
"See? This is just showing off your kindness for no reason. It's either a traitor or a thief!"
Chen Dexi was at a loss for words. "Your Highness, if you don't want your wife to be deceived, why don't you separate the two of them?"
Why are you sulking here?
Qi Yunzhou said nothing.
Of course he would not admit that when Shen Xun and Xie Lan stood together, he vaguely saw the scene of his parents getting along with each other.
The scene was so beautiful that he couldn't bear to interrupt it.
Of course, we can only talk. If that bastard Xie Lan dares to steal my father's girl...
Qi Yunzhou looked at Shen Xun’s brilliant smile and sighed helplessly.
Okay, mother is still young, it’s not impossible for her to find a male lover to amuse herself.
Qi Yunzhou held Shen Xun's hand and said, "Mom, it's getting late. You should get into the carriage and rest."
Humph, he couldn't bear to see his mother smiling so brightly at other men!
Xie Lan raised her eyebrows but said nothing. It was getting darker and the dew was heavier. It was really not suitable for a girl to stay outside.
"Okay," Shen Xun handed the roasted rabbit to Qi Yunzhou, "Zhou'er, you two can divide it up."
Qi Yunzhou motioned Chen Dexi to take it. He helped Chen Xun into the carriage. In the carriage, Zhong Danyue was sitting on one side, apparently preparing to rest.
When she saw Qi Yunzhou, she turned her face away, as if she really didn't want to see him.
Qi Yunzhou's expression darkened, and he said softly, "Yue'er, this is my adoptive mother."
Zhong Danyue didn't say anything, and an atmosphere called "awkwardness" filled the carriage.
Shen Xun pushed Qi Yunzhou, "Zhou'er, you go out first."
Qi Yunzhou nodded, told them to cover themselves with blankets at night, and then went out.
Shen Xun sat opposite Zhong Danyue. She didn't intend to get too involved with the heroine in the book.
According to the plot, the heroine has a childhood sweetheart, but is forced into the palace by a tyrant. After a series of love, hate, and revenge, the tyrant is defeated by the hero and heroine, and dies miserably...
Stop!
Shen Xun felt that for the sake of his son's life, he should persuade his son to let go.
"You are...Qi Yunzhou's adoptive mother?"
Zhong Danyue suddenly asked.
Shen Xun nodded, "Yes."
After receiving a positive answer, Zhong Danyue sat up straight and looked at Chen Xun, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
Qi Yunzhou had explained Shen Xun's identity to her before, but she ignored him. Later, she figured it out.
Qi Yunzhou treats his adoptive mother like his biological mother, so can she escape from Qi Yunzhou with the help of Shen Xun?
Seeing that she had been hesitating for a long time and hadn't said a single word, Shen Xun took the initiative to ask, "What does Miss Zhong want to say?"
Zhong Danyue said bitterly: "I want to ask you to help me, help me escape from Qi Yunzhou."
"good."
Shen Xun agreed decisively, which left Zhong Danyue no chance to say all the words she had prepared.
However, Shen Xun was the first one to agree to help her escape, and Zhong Danyue was so moved that she almost cried for joy.
Shen Xun swallowed his saliva. What on earth did that brat Qi Yunzhou do to the heroine to make her so emotional?
Thinking this way, she also asked, Zhong Danyue was stunned for a moment, and whispered to Shen Xun.
A quarter of an hour later, Shen Xun's expression was somewhat puzzled--
"You mean, if Qi Yunzhou hadn't shown up, you would have been given to an old man in his seventies as a concubine by the Zhong family?"
Zhong Danyue nodded.
Chen Xun asked in confusion, "Although Qi Yunzhou forcibly brought you into the palace, he didn't force you to do anything. Isn't that better than marrying an old man?"
Zhong Danyue stammered, "He restricted my freedom and forbade me from leaving the palace to find my fiancé."
Chen Xun held his forehead helplessly, "Girl, before we pursue freedom and love, don't we have to save our lives first?"
Of course, if you value freedom and love more than life, just ignore what she said.
Zhong Danyue choked, thought for a moment, and whispered, "They are my blood relatives after all, they shouldn't go too far..."
Shen Xun corrected him, "They are not relatives. They are just ghosts sucking blood from you. Besides, they can send you as a concubine. What else can't they do?"
"By the way, where was your fiancé when you were given away?"
"he……"
Zhong Danyue opened her mouth to answer, but no answer came to her mind.
When the Zhong family forced her to become a concubine, her fiancé did not show up.
