Chapter 58 Don’t leave me if you’re jealous.
Li Yulan looked into her calm eyes, and his heart gradually calmed down. His expression was no longer as confused as it was at the beginning, and became much clearer.
After saying this, Lou Wanqiao stopped talking and waited quietly for his reply.
She had originally thought that in Li Yulan's situation, she should just lock him up. After all, she was confident that Li Yulan would not cause any more trouble. However, plans cannot keep up with changes. It is not difficult to know the latest situation of Dali. It is not surprising that the Jin Kingdom knows about major events such as the change of monarchs. But since they have evil ambitions and want to take advantage of the chaos, for the long-term health and stability of Dali, she must solve this big trouble in time so that Dali will have no worries in the future.
It's easy to say, but putting it into practice is a bloody battle. Now, there's a good method available. While it's not bloodless, it can at least minimize the damage.
Her eyes fell on Li Yulan.
Although we have not yet found out how Li Yulan reached such a high position, at least he should be well aware of the affairs of the Jin Dynasty. If we can reach a cooperation, it should save a lot of effort.
Li Yulan stared at her intently. The surroundings were so quiet for a moment that the only sounds left were the regular sound of water dripping onto the ground and his breathing.
He could almost hear his own heartbeat, so rapid and strong.
Boom boom. Boom boom.
Boom boom boom.
"I have one condition." His voice was dry, and it seemed that just wording these few words took up all his remaining strength.
Wow, you are worthy of being someone who can come this far. You are still thinking of making conditions at this time.
Lou Wanqiao raised his eyebrows and said, "As long as there's not enough points, I'll consider it."
He met her gaze and softened his tone: "Come closer."
Um?
Lou Wanqiao shook his head. "There's no need to whisper here, since there's no outsiders around. You don't have to be so cautious. No one else will hear what you say, but you can still say it."
"No," Li Yulan stared at her, "My condition is that you come closer."
that's all?
Lou Wanqiao retracted his previous inner assessment.
This guy is an absolute lunatic. It's really impossible to guess what he's thinking.
However, this request was not a difficult task for her. Li Yulan was very weak now, and was even more heavily chained. Even if he wanted to attack, Lou Wanqiao would be able to react immediately.
If you just get closer, there's no problem.
"As long as I do what you say, you'll agree?"
"Yes." He panted. Just maintaining this position with the shackles on had already consumed most of his energy. His body was almost exhausted. "As long as it's like this, it's fine."
Lou Wanqiao couldn't figure out what he was up to, but he still took two steps forward and stood in front of him, and kindly reminded him, "If you agree soon, I can quickly remove these restraints from you. There are also delicious dishes waiting for you."
Sometimes bribery is also a strategy.
Lou Wanqiao looked at Li Yulan again, this time with a scrutinizing look, examining him carefully from head to toe.
Fragile, sensitive, anxious. The man's already fair face now looked even paler, even his lips trembling slightly. His long eyelashes drooped, and his hair, having not been properly brushed for several days, was disheveled, with a few strands falling awkwardly against his cheeks.
It seemed that because he had not been exposed to the sun or talked to anyone for a long time, Li Yulan's vision seemed slightly unfocused, and it took a long time for the pupils in his eye sockets to focus on her again.
"Azhao..."
His voice trembled a little, and the next second he opened his arms and hugged her tightly regardless of everything.
Lou Wanqiao's body stiffened, his brows furrowed, and he subconsciously tried to push him away.
"I do!"
Li Yulan's words suddenly rang out, and he said anxiously: "Don't push me away, I won't do anything, A Zhao, just like this, don't push me away, I promise you, I will listen to you in everything..."
Lou Wanqiao's eyes moved slightly, and he resisted the urge to strike him unconscious.
Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive, this guy is still very useful. After all, he can't do anything now, but in this case, he is really a chess piece that can be used.
Li Yulan didn't seem to care what she was thinking. He hugged Lou Wanqiao tightly, resting his chin on her shoulder, and said in a voice full of grievance: "Azhao."
Lou Wanqiao kept silent and looked up at the ceiling.
"Azhao, Azhao!"
She could no longer bear it: "Your Highness, do you mean to reach an agreement with me?"
"Yes, I'll listen to you." Li Yulan answered without hesitation this time. His voice still trembled, but he seemed much calmer than before. "Teach me how to do it."
"You won't commit suicide, will you?" Lou Wanqiao asked again.
"No, Azhao. I'm afraid of death, and I can't bear to see you die." He answered honestly.
"Then how do I remove the poison in my body?"
"I don't know."
"It seems that Your Highness has no sincerity in having a serious talk with me."
Lou Wanqiao's tone instantly turned cold. Li Yulan noticed as she raised her hand and quickly hugged her tighter. "Azhao! Azhao, believe me, I really don't know how to solve this problem! But there is a way, Azhao. If you don't want to be tied to me like this, there is a way. When I return to the Jin Kingdom, someone might know a solution."
"Maybe?" Lou Wanqiao said solemnly, "What if that person doesn't know or can't figure it out?"
"Then it won't be too late for Azhao to lock me up again." Li Yulan said seriously, "Just... don't trap me here anymore. Anywhere else is fine, beside Azhao, in the bedroom, or..."
"Alright!" Lou Wanqiao frowned upon hearing this and quickly interrupted him, "I'll trust you for now. Now I'll untie your chains. You can take a shower and eat something to replenish your energy. Then we'll make a long-term plan."
Li Yulan stopped talking and just gently rested his cheek on her shoulder. He was so light that she could not feel his weight even when he leaned on her.
He didn't answer for a long time. Lou Wanqiao suppressed his temper and waited for a while. When he found that he didn't move, he reached out to push him. Then Li Yulan fell back lightly.
Bang!
Lou Wanqiao immediately reached out to pull him back, probed his breath with his fingertips, held his breath and observed intently for a few seconds before he breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, I was just too tired and fell asleep.
He was much more pleasing when he was asleep than when he was awake.
Lou Wanqiao swiftly removed the chains and shackles from his body. Now that they had reached a cooperation, there was no need to make things too difficult. Moreover, Li Yulan's life and death were closely related to her, and if anything really happened, she would not benefit from it.
Although I don't know what's going on with him or why his personality has become what it is now, if I use it properly, it should be of great use.
Lou Wanqiao picked him up and carried him sideways, then walked out with big strides.
His exposed skin was cold, his lips were bloodless, and there was a dark layer under his eyes. He must have not had a good rest for a long time.
"Ying, have someone help him bathe and change his clothes later, and call a doctor at the same time."
"yes."
It was a bright day outside. When Lou Wanqiao walked out of the dark dungeon, the sunlight dazzled her eyes. She squinted her eyes, and when she opened them again, she saw a person standing under the eaves not far away.
Wen Xuechi leaned against the pillar under the eaves with his arms folded, his eyes staring at her indifferently, and then slowly fell on Li Yulan.
He didn't say anything, but that look gave Lou Wanqiao goosebumps for some reason.
No, what kind of look is that...
Lou Wanqiao blinked and was thinking about whether to say hello to him, when Li Yulan, who was in her arms, suddenly frowned and pulled his cheek towards her arms. Perhaps the sun made him feel uncomfortable.
She turned in another direction and walked towards the guest room.
There were footsteps behind him, and Wen Xuechi was following at a distance. Lou Wanqiao casually opened the door of an empty guest room and put him on the bed. Just as he was about to stand up and leave, he suddenly felt a downward force in front of him.
She looked down and saw that Li Yulan's fingers were tightly grasping the corner of her clothes. She looked at Li Yulan carefully again and found that his breathing was shallow and steady, which was obviously a sign that he was still asleep.
"Chao, you are responsible for taking care of him temporarily. Wait for the doctor to come and take a good look at him. Report to me at any time if there is any situation." Lou Wanqiao pinched his wrist and pressed the acupuncture point with a little force. Li Yulan's fingers loosened and fell down weakly in the air.
She turned and walked out of the room. Not far away, someone was leading a doctor towards her.
The next step is just to wait for him to recover slowly. Things have taken a small step forward. Lou Wanqiao stretched and turned around to see someone standing behind him with a cold face.
Well……?
She froze in mid-sentence and then slowly relaxed. She walked up to Wen Xuechi and looked at him carefully: "Is there nothing going on today?"
"I'm a free man, and I can't take care of as many things as the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple." Wen Xuechi replied indifferently.
? ?
What are you talking about?
There was something wrong with Wen Xuechi's behavior and tone. Lou Wanqiao tilted his head to look at him, his brows furrowed out of habit.
Why are things happening so strangely lately? Could it be that Li Yulan has contracted some of his illness? That's not right, they haven't had much contact...
She simply led Wen Xuechi out to the garden, turned around and asked, "Tell me, what happened?"
Wen Xuechi turned his head away and didn't look into her eyes: "Nothing."
"Nothing?" she repeated, the three words swirling on the tip of her tongue. "What do you mean by nothing?"
Wen Xuechi pursed his lips and said nothing.
Lou Wanqiao looked at him again, then turned and left.
"Don't……"
A faint voice came from behind, and the hanging hand was tightly grasped.
Lou Wanqiao struggled, unable to free himself. His fingertips, straining so hard they turned white, clutched her hand, refusing to let go. He didn't turn around; his trembling fingertips lay between her palms. She lowered her head. Wen Xuechi's voice softened. The rustling of fabric rustled closer as he pulled her into his arms from behind, lowering his head to press his cheek against hers.
"Aqiao...don't go."
"……do not leave Me."
