Su Qian stood up and said, "Aye, I'll go over and talk to him. I'll be back soon."
Yan Xuanye was silent for two seconds, then replied, "Okay."
Lu Huan frowned and looked at Su Qian's back. His hands under the embroidered robe slowly tightened into fists, and an unspeakable feeling of depression rose in his chest.
Su Qian walked up to Lu Huan and slowly said, "Lu Huan, I have something to tell you."
Lu Huan interrupted her with some annoyance, "No need to say more."
"Leave with me immediately, and I may still be able to spare him."
Yan Xuanye sneered at him: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Lu Huan ignored him and looked Su Qian in the eye, warning her, "It's been so long since you two fell into the river, and no one has come to look for you. Why is that?"
Su Qian's eyelashes trembled, and she felt a little uneasy.
Lu Huan reminded her again, "Don't forget the promise you made to me."
Yan Xuanye covered the wound on his arm, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead. "Qianqian, what did you agree with him?"
Su Qian raised her head and said, "I haven't forgotten."
Lu Huan: "Just remember it."
He suddenly pulled Su Qian's hand, wanting to take her away, "Let's go."
Yan Xuanye took a step forward to chase after him, but in an instant a group of soldiers came up and surrounded him.
He choked on water and passed out. Just when he was recovering a little, he was hit by an arrow and injured again. Now he doesn't even have a suitable weapon.
In a panic, Yan Xuanye pulled out the arrow from his right arm. The cloth tore apart with a "rip" sound, and blood gushed out of the wound on his right arm, which was a shocking sight.
Even so, he still fought with the soldiers with his bare hands.
Su Qian exclaimed, "Aye!"
Lu Huan looked at the scene in front of him, his temples throbbing. He grabbed Su Qian's arm tightly, preventing her from passing.
Su Qian turned around abruptly: "Lu Huan, make them stop!"
Lu Huan had never seen Su Qian so anxious and angry. The last time he was in Zhiyi City, he was injured while trying to protect her, but she acted indifferent as if it had nothing to do with her.
If he hadn't forced her to help him apply the medicine, how could she have taken the initiative to care about him in the slightest?
Now... he was panicking because of Yan Xuanye and even used such a commanding tone.
Look, look at how she behaves now, it seems that she is really moved.
"Why, are you ordering me around for him?" Lu Huan pressed on, the two men almost touching. "Su Qian, what qualifications do you have for me to obey you?"
From the beginning, she approached him with a purpose, and he sensed something was wrong early on. But because of her, because of such a cold and cruel woman, he kept deceiving himself and comforting himself.
Even though he knew she was lying to him, he still fantasized about his future with her. Later, he made a deal with her and respected her decision, just for that vague, unrealistic love.
But what about her?
Not to mention love, she was too reluctant to give him even a little bit of care and sympathy.
All Su Qian gave him was exploitation.
Even though he found her reborn body before Yan Xuanye, she still used him and returned to Yan Xuanye.
ridiculous.
He thought that if he let her go for a while, gave her freedom and respected her, he might be able to get her love one day, but in the end he was the only one who was secretly heartbroken for several days.
Even so, he still didn't give up, "Don't forget our agreement!"
Why can she come and go as she pleases between them?
"Lu Huan, I didn't lose my promise to you."
Yan Xuanye, who was not far away, was surrounded because he was unable to defeat the crowd. However, without Lu Huan's order, these soldiers did not dare to act rashly. Yan Xuanye was not in danger of life at the moment.
"You told me at the beginning that Yan Xuanye only loved the identity of 'Goddess', not me, and you said you would help me test him. If the person he loves is not me, I will have to return to you and leave him."
"Can……"
Lu Huan: "That's right."
He pinched Su Qian's waist with one hand and held her arm with his left hand. His eyes gradually became paranoid and crazy. "Isn't that what he is like? After he heard those rumors, he stopped looking for you and even took the little princess of their Fengyuan Kingdom to the military camp. It's obvious that he doesn't care about you."
"Otherwise, why would he allow that little princess to bring people to your tent and trample on your dignity?"
"Your identity is just the icing on the cake for him. Your identity as a goddess can help him gain more people's support. He is very ambitious and wants to annex the entire Nanchang Kingdom. You used him, and he also used you."
He spoke each word as if in a warning, "Su Zhao, don't be stupid."
Su Qian shook her head: "It's not what you said."
Lu Huan's eyes froze, "What?"
"Yan Xuanye never believed those rumors from the beginning. He arranged for his men to investigate the matter early on. Lu Huan, the people you arranged are very smart and alert. He couldn't find the person, so he had to pretend to lower your guard."
"That's why he endured not coming to see me for half a month, and tacitly allowed Yan Nanzhu to come to Danxia City. But he didn't expect Yan Nanzhu to come to my tent to look for me."
"But at this point, he had no choice but to play along and act like he was disgusted with me."
Lu Huan said coldly, "This is all just your imagination. How can you prove it?"
"No matter what, I win this agreement. Because, at least on the surface, he already hates you. We didn't say how to judge the winner if Yan Xuanye was pretending."
"So, Su Zhao, you lose. You must accept the defeat. Let's go."
He had already ordered people to prepare for the wedding ceremony of the emperor and empress in Shangjing.
By then, it will surely be the grandest and most solemn wedding in Shangjing in the past hundred years, and she will be the most beautiful and happiest bride, the queen worshipped and praised by all the people of Zhao.
A gentle look gradually appeared in his eyes. "Leave with me. As long as you leave with me, I will let everyone go, including Yan Xuanye."
"But if you don't leave." His eyes suddenly became fierce and resolute. "Today, let alone him, even if it's you... I won't let you off easily."
"I said at the beginning that I would not let you come and go as you please, and today I will fulfill my words."
Su Qian's heart sank. It didn't matter whether she lived or died. She had died three times anyway and had tried every way to die. Why would she be afraid of this time?
But what about Yan Xuanye?
After he fell into the river, the first thing he thought about was how to save her. How could she be a burden to him?
Yan Xuanye frantically yelled behind her, "Qianqian, no! Even if I die, I won't give you to him!"
Lu Huan didn't even glance at Yan Xuanye, but stared at Su Qian. "Su Zhao, what is your choice?"
