Chapter 1272: Retreat is Advance

In the room, Ximen Yuqing was sitting on the edge of Lin Wan's bed, holding a miscellaneous book that Lin Wan had flipped through last night. Seeing that Lin Wan was back, he raised his head, smiled flatteringly, and said pitifully: "Wan'er, I can't leave tonight, Lan Ziyu is still waiting outside, can you take me in for one night?"

Lin Wan frowned slightly, and secretly thought in her heart, since Lan Ziyu had already drugged Ximen Yuqing, of course she would not give up so easily, and it was indeed very likely that she was still waiting outside. If Ximen Yuqing is allowed to leave, not only may he give Lan Ziyu another rare opportunity, but also the relationship between himself and Ximen Yuqing will be stiffened. So, Lin Wan had no choice but to nod and said, "Okay, you sleep here, I'll go sleep with Qingtong." ”

Ximen Yuqing frowned, stood up, glanced at Qingtong's bed outside, and said unhappily: "Qingtong's bed is too small, your bed is big, enough for the two of us to sleep." I promise, I won't touch you, okay?"

Qingtong hurriedly said: "My bed can be slept on by the young lady, I just need to make it on the floor." ”

Ximen Yuqing stared at Lin Wan as if he hadn't heard Qingtong's words, waiting for her decision.

Lin Wan sighed in her heart, there are still several empty rooms in this West Warm Building, how could it be that Ximen Yuqing wanted to come and squeeze a bed with Lin Wan because he had no place to sleep? However, Ximen Yuqing had already said that she would not touch her, and if she still insisted on refusing, it might backfire. After all, this is Xiling Kingdom, and it is very likely that Ximen Yuqing will be angry and forcibly occupy himself, and then form an alliance with Nanyue and destroy the Great Feudal State.

Therefore, Lin Wan's current situation is indeed very difficult, on the one hand, she believes that Ximen Yuqing will cherish the friendship between them, and on the other hand, she can't anger Ximen Yuqing and force Ximen Yuqing to go to the extreme.

Finally, Lin Wan made up his mind and instructed Qingtong: "You better sleep in the outer room, my bed is big, it doesn't matter if you sleep two people." ”

Qingtong looked at Lin Wan with wide eyes, unable to believe his ears. However, she also knew very well in her heart that now in Xiling Kingdom, they could only rely on Ximen Yuqing, so naturally they could not disobey Ximen Yuqing's intentions, and they could not fall out with Ximen Yuqing. Now that the young lady had decided, of course she had no choice but to obey, she nodded, walked outside, lay down on her bed, and pricked up her ears to listen to the movement inside.

Lin Wan walked up to Ximen Yuqing, looked at him expressionlessly, and said word by word: "Brother Ximen, I said that we can only be friends, and we can be friends in life and death, but it is absolutely impossible to go further." You get the idea, right?"

Ximen Yuqing also restrained his smile, looked at Lin Wan deeply, nodded, and said in a depressed and painful manner: "I understand what you mean, but do you understand my feelings? Moreover, we also have to play the relationship of lovers in front of others. Do you think it's too cruel to me like this?"

Lin Wan looked at Ximen Yuqing's sad eyes, couldn't help but take half a step back, lowered his eyes, and didn't dare to look directly into Ximen Yuqing's eyes.

Ximen Yuqing stood up, walked in front of Lin Wan, reached out and gently lifted Lin Wan's chin, let her look into her eyes, and forced her to face her feelings. Gazing at her affectionately, quietly waiting for her answer.

Lin Wan frowned and looked at Ximen Yuqing, looked into his eyes, and said slowly: "Brother Ximen, I have already said what I should say, even if I didn't say it, I believe you understand, don't force me." Whatever I say now, it will be very cruel to you. So, don't say anything, I'm sure you'll never do anything to hurt me. ”

After speaking, he gently pushed Ximen Yuqing away, walked to the wardrobe, and took out another quilt from the cabinet and put it on the bed. Then, take off your shoes, climb to the inside of the bed, fold your clothes, cover yourself with the quilt, wrap yourself tightly, close your eyes, and slowly fall asleep motionless.

Ximen Yuqing watched Lin Wan finish all this calmly, watched Lin Wan lie on the bed with her eyes closed, watched her give up most of the bed for herself, smiled bitterly, took off her coat, shoes and socks, extinguished the oil lamp on the table, and gently lay down beside Lin Wan. Open another quilt, cover yourself, and lie on your side.

In the dark night, looking at Lin Wan's slender back and long black hair, Ximen Yuqing suddenly felt that tonight was so quiet and peaceful, and he fell asleep unconsciously, and slept so deeply and sweetly.

However, Lin Wan never fell asleep, thinking about everything that happened that day.

This was her first day of entering the Xiling Imperial Palace, and there were many gains, and there were also many things that happened that she didn't expect.

She brought a lot of people from the Great Seal Kingdom, but she could only bring two people into the palace, and she chose Qingtong and Wei Yinshuang. Qingtong has been by his side for so long, and he has long been in the same mind, and he is absolutely obedient to himself.

Wei Yinshuang has strong martial arts skills and can cook good dishes, so Lin Wan chose her. However, so many things happened last night, but she ignored them and pretended not to know, which made Lin Wan very disappointed.

What made Lin Wan very happy was that Ximen Yuqing prepared warm hearts, warm feelings, warm fragrances and warm sleeves for Lin Wan, although they are all Ximen Yuqing's people, in some ways they will still be biased towards Ximen Yuqing. However, in this palace, Lin Wan needs a few people who are very familiar with this palace. Moreover, to a great extent, they were loyal and obedient to Lin Wan.

Shangguan Yun was very surprising to Lin Wan, Lin Wan Originally, Shangguan Yun would regard her as a rival in love, but she didn't expect that Shangguan Yun and her became best friends. Shangguan Yun is a simple and straightforward girl, and she is very smart, very free, and knows how to choose what is best for herself. I know what I want, and I know what I can't get no matter how hard I try.

Lan Ziyu also surprised Lin Wan very much, Lan Ziyu has no princess frame at all, and the arrogant and domineering Lan Ziyue is completely different, and the low-key and ruthless Lan Ziling is not the same way at all. Lan Ziyu can bend and stretch, can speak, is elegant and generous, and knows how to use her own advantages and how to take advantage of the other party's shortcomings. The most important thing is to know when to stop and how to move forward.

Ximen Yuqing is the apprentice of the ghost hand of the Western Regions, if Lan Ziyu uses poison or medicine on him, of course he will not succeed. However, what did Lan Ziyu use last night to make Ximen Yuqing lose his usual calmness and self-control?
