Lu Feng agreed and took his men to drag the four of them out.
Yan Xuanye held Su Qian tightly in his arms and said, "How could such a thing happen? Why didn't you ask Lu Feng to send someone to report it to me?"
"Qianqian, do you not trust me? Or... do you think I won't stand up for you?"
Su Qian muttered, "I just found out about this too."
"Cuiwei quarreled with them because of me. She was injured and has been hiding in Lu Feng's room to recuperate. She kept it a secret from me for several days. I only realized something was wrong today and found out after I checked it out myself."
"Just when I was about to teach them a lesson, you came."
Yan Xuanye was still a little unhappy, "So... I came at the right time."
Su Qian felt that his tone was not right, so she looked up at him... Yan Xuanye seemed to have not rested well last night. There was a little blue and black under his eyes, and he looked a little tired.
It happened that it was time for Su Qian to drink the medicine. He took the medicine bowl prepared by Cui Wei and said, "You go down first."
Cuiwei bowed and left, and helped them close the door.
Su Qian wanted to take the bowl, "I can do it myself."
Yan Xuanye pressed her hand down with his palm, and said in a tone that brooked no refusal, "Don't move, I'll do it."
"I'll feed you."
He fed Su Qian the medicine spoonful by spoonful. In fact, Su Qian wanted to say that it tasted even more bitter, but seeing that he looked tired but still insisted on feeding her, she didn't know what to say.
After finishing the medicine, Yan Xuanye picked up a handkerchief beside him and wiped the corner of her mouth. His expression seemed gentle and calm, but his movements forcefully held her in his arms. "Qianqian, what exactly do you want me to do with you?"
Listening to the strong heartbeat in his chest, she inexplicably felt his calmness and sadness.
Yan Xuanye hugged Su Qian tighter, as if he wanted to rub her into his body, "I've been thinking about what you said earlier for a long time these past few days..."
He looked at her with an obsessed look in his eyes, "I want to tell you that I can temporarily not attack Nanchang State. But... I can't withdraw my troops."
"If I abandon the thirteen cities I've captured and retreat back to Fengyuan, how can I be worthy of the soldiers who died on the battlefield? Wouldn't their deaths become a joke?"
"If I go back empty-handed, what will I say to their families when they ask about it?"
Yan Xuanye nestled his head against her neck, his voice a little muffled, as if he was in great difficulty. "Qianqian, can you please think about it for me too?"
"As long as the people of Nanchang do not harass the people and land of my Fengyuan Kingdom, I can stop attacking Nanchang. But I will not give these thirteen cities back to them either."
"Because... these thirteen cities were conquered by me and my people together. It wasn't just my achievement. If I were to give back what they worked so hard for, they wouldn't agree.
"That's the biggest concession I can make. Is that okay?"
Alas! Actually, how could Su Qian not know the truth?
But this damn system gave her such a task. Sometimes she even wondered if this system was a villain system.
She also thought about it, why not just forget it, just not go back, and just live in this era.
Anyway, Yan Xuanye treats her pretty well, and there's nothing wrong with him at the moment.
But on second thought, even if she was willing to stay in this era, Lu Huan might not really let her go.
He even said that he would give Yan Xuanye a big gift when he got married.
Su Qian knew that he wanted her to die again, in front of Yan Xuanye. He wanted Yan Xuanye to go crazy and then attack Nanchang State and destroy everything in Nanchang State.
Kill with a borrowed knife.
Su Qian guessed that Lu Huan hated his father, his country, and the monarch of Nanchang.
But he doesn't do it himself, he only uses other people's hands in order to beautify his own behavior.
Lu Huan, he is basically a white-cut black.
On the surface, he looks gentle and honest, with a scholarly air about him, as bright and clear as the moon.
But if you peel back the skin that hides him, you'll see his twisted and rotten heart.
In this era, she has no idea how long she can live. She faces almost impossible tasks and her life is in constant danger.
If possible, she wanted to go back immediately, back to the modern era.
Live a miserable life or die a miserable death, she still knows how to choose.
It’s a pity that she can’t go back now.
Su Qian was forced to nestle in his arms, her head resting on his chest. She sighed silently, "That's it."
Yan Xuanye thought Su Qian was going to get angry again, but he didn't expect her to actually agree. A little joy welled up in his heart, "Really?"
Su Qian nodded, "Yeah."
Even if she doesn't want to, what's the point?
He spoke as if he would agree to her request if she was unwilling.
"But I have another request." She raised her head, looked into his eyes, and spoke seriously.
"What do you want?"
"I hope you can protect me and not do the same thing as last time..." Her voice became smaller and smaller as she spoke.
Yan Xuanye was stunned for a moment, then his pupils suddenly shrank. He must have instantly understood which time she was talking about.
After a while, he said seriously, "Don't worry, what happened before will never happen again. I will definitely protect you."
Su Qian nodded tiredly and said nothing more.
"Qianqian, I didn't get enough rest last night. Can you stay with me and sleep for a while longer?"
