Chapter 694: Dancing Princess vs. East Factory Admiral 54
It seems... not so annoying anymore?
“We’ve captured three people alive. I’m not good at interrogation, so I’ve handed it over to Shen San. I believe there will be results tomorrow.”
Quan Jiu will not let his injury be in vain.
Speaking of business, Shen Lang's eyes fell on her face:
"After dinner, I'll have someone take you back to the palace."
She now lives in the palace. If she doesn't go back, it will inevitably arouse Chu Tuo's suspicion.
Quan Jiu shook his head:
"Even when you were in a coma, I went to tell Chu Tuo that you were in critical condition and could die at any time. I couldn't get away, so he specifically allowed me to stay in the East Factory."
Chen Lang sneered, but because of the pain in his wound, his brows knitted slightly:
"He was so kind to ask you to take care of me, but he wanted you to put arsenic in my medicine?"
"It's not so open and aboveboard."
Quan Jiu's lips curled slightly, his eyes thoughtful.
"But I'm afraid the East Factory won't be peaceful these next two days."
…
What he said came true.
In just two days, five waves of assassins arrived outside the East Factory.
Some were not strong enough and were wiped out before they even stepped into the gate of the East Factory.
Some of them were very powerful and successfully broke into Shen Lang's room, pulled out their knives and started slashing at the bed.
"Fortunately, we changed rooms."
Shen San looked uncertain and frightened as he stared at Quan Jiu who was leisurely sitting at the head of Shen Lang's bed, sipping tea.
It was Quan Jiu who suggested staying for one night and changing rooms. He originally just wanted to strengthen the defense of the East Factory.
Quan Jiu just smiled faintly: "All is fair in war, and a cunning rabbit has three burrows."
Chen Lang leaned against the headboard, his dark eyes deep:
"It's time to clean up these traitors."
Even if he changed rooms every night, someone still found his correct location. This is really intriguing.
When Shen San heard this, his face darkened slightly, and there was a few more flashes of anger in his eyes:
"There were no more than ten people in the East Depot who knew about your room change yesterday, so it wouldn't be difficult to arrest them. I just didn't expect that the person who had said he was loyal to you would now look like this..."
Each of these ten people has been with Shen Lang for at least ten years, and the worst-performing one is only a small leader.
There was no anger or sadness on Shen Lang's face after being betrayed. He said indifferently:
“It is human nature to choose a good tree to inhabit.”
Naturally, it is human nature for him to break this good tree.
After Shen San left, Quan Jiu handed today's medicine to him.
After Shen Lang finished drinking, he did not return the bowl to her immediately, but his eyes fell on her sleeves.
“This is for today.”
Quan Jiu pulled out a bag of candied fruit from his sleeve, took out a piece and put it to his mouth.
Shen Lang's thin lips were already open, and he leaned forward to make it easier for her to feed him. However, Quan Jiu moved too quickly and didn't have time to brake. When she stuffed the candied fruit into his mouth, she also lost half of her fingertip.
The warmth from her fingertips startled Quan Jiu. She blinked. As both a doctor and a tasker, she was constantly on the edge of whether to stop or not. Ultimately, her medical ethics prevailed.
She moved her wrist slightly, trying to pull her fingertips out of his mouth, but her fingertips suddenly tightened and were bitten lightly.
It’s more like sucking than biting.
Quan Jiu's throat rolled, and she pulled out again with force. Chen Lang directly and openly grabbed her wrist to stop her action.
The man had not yet recovered from a serious illness and his face was pale, making his eyes look frighteningly dark. What was totally inconsistent with his frail body was the naked aggression in his eyes. His black eyes were frighteningly bright, like green willow leaves washed by spring rain.
Gradually, the warm tongue licked the fingertips inch by inch.
Quan Jiu's scalp felt numb, and an itchy feeling spread from the top of his head to his posterior vertebrae and then to the soles of his feet.
Shen Lang stared at her with his dark eyes, his mouth moving without stopping.
Just when Quan Jiu was about to lose control and let his animal nature take over, Chen Lang finally lay back, his back resting on the head of the bed.
"Don't waste what you have."
He was referring to the syrup on his hands. After taking the candied fruit, his hands were all stained with a thin layer of brown syrup. In the past, Quan Jiu would go out to wash her hands after feeding them, but this time, she stared at the clean and white fingertips and fell into deep thought about whether she should wash her saliva.
Chen Lang lay back on the bed, his eyes no longer showing the aggression he had just shown. He looked like a severely injured old man who had not yet recovered.
"I still want to eat."
Quan Jiu: “…”
She couldn't tell for a moment whether he wanted to eat candied fruit or something else...
"Eat it yourself."
She simply put all the candied fruit into his hands.
Chen Lang didn't get angry and ask her to feed him. Instead, he picked up one and put it to her lips:
"Want to try it?"
Quan Jiu was not interested in candied fruit, but since he had been eating it so happily in the past two days, he became suspicious for a moment.
Is it really that delicious?
She opened her mouth with a half-believing and half-doubting attitude.
“…hiss, so sweet.”
It feels like it is covered with a kilogram of honey, and it is so sweet that it can make your teeth fall off.
She stared at Chen Lang with an incredulous and inquiring look?
How do you manage to take three of these a day?
The corners of Shen Lang's mouth curled slightly, and a faint smile appeared in his eyes: "You'll get used to it after eating two more."
Quan Jiu felt a slight toothache: "Then I'll leave it all for you to eat."
She is not worthy of it.
………
Although Chen Lang and Chu Tuo were not on good terms, Chen Lang was an important official of the Meng State after all. When he was seriously injured in the street, Chu Tuo was extremely happy in his heart, but he still pretended to be angry in the Golden Palace.
When Quan Jiu received the message, he was fishing with Naituanzi.
Shen San said with disdain: “The emperor sent Prime Minister He to investigate this matter thoroughly.”
Prime Minister He is the emperor's man, and he would rather see Shen Lang get hurt, so naturally he would not investigate the case seriously.
"This silver fish is beautiful."
Quan Jiu sat by the pond with a fishing net.
Milk ball was very excited, with a fishing net in hand: "Catch some and make soup for Alang."
Quan Jiu let him catch the fish, turned his head to look at Shen San, his eyes calm:
"Since he wants to investigate, let him investigate to his heart's content."
Shen San frowned: "Even if the emperor finds out the truth, he may not stand up for you..."
"Who said the truth has been found out?" Quan Jiu asked back.
Shen San: “Doctor Shen, what do you mean?”
"Prime Minister He has been in office for thirty years, and there are always some things that cannot withstand investigation."
Shen San's pupils widened slightly when he heard this. After a moment of silence, he slapped his thigh.
"You have a good idea."
“Changxi, I caught a fish!!”
When Niantuanzi pulled the fishing net, the fish scales in the net sparkled silvery, and they were indeed silverfish.
Quan Jiu smiled, but didn't respond to Shen San's words. He touched the head of the little boy.
"It seems Alang is in for a treat."
………
"How could there be anyone in the world who doesn't eat fish with bones..."
The little girl looked at the "angry" Shen Jiaojiao and pursed her pink lips.
Shen Lang said frankly: "Now you see it."
Milk ball: "I coax you, but you won't eat?"
Shen Lang frowned: "Who asked you to coax me?"
Milk ball: "The key is not to coax him, but to eat..."
