Chapter Forty-Eight: I Will Always Protect You
Liu Nianru didn't let them escort herself, so she followed them all the way to the palace, with her, those who want to make small moves also have to weigh whether they are enough.
When you arrive at the palace, then you are all your own people. When the patrol commander handed over the people, it was Duan Bailan who opened the door.
"Lord Wang!" The patrol commander hurriedly knelt on the ground.
Liu Nianru was a little surprised, at this time, Duan Bailan was actually in the palace, he had been so busy recently that his feet didn't touch the ground, and she thought that he must not be there.
"Lord Duan." Xiao Yan's expression was as usual.
Duan Bailan nodded slightly at Xiao Yan, as if he had said hello, his eyes fell on Liu Nianru, he naturally took her hand, and asked with concern, "Are you hurt?"
Seeing their intimacy, the patrol commander began to struggle again.
Didn't the Lord of the War Forest have a marriage contract with the Seventh Prince? Why does she and Duan Wang Ye seem to be very close? There is no bloody blood relationship between Duan Wang Ye and the Lord of Zhan Lin. Forget it, the interpersonal relationships of those at the top are really complicated.
Xiao Yan's face suddenly turned pale, he had understood Duan Bailan's thoughts about Liu Nianru before, but at that time, he didn't like Liu Nianru yet.
Who wants to see their loved one hug and hug someone else?
"No, Changwu and they should have returned to the palace a long time ago, you should all know that this person wants to kill me." Liu Nianru's heart warmed, and she replied as if nothing happened.
"It's okay, I'll interrogate you for you, and you must make the person behind it pay the price." Duan Bailan's voice suddenly became sharp, and he looked at the assassin's eyes as if he was about to eat people.
Someone dared to try to hurt her right under his nose, which he absolutely could not tolerate.
"Lord Duan, I am afraid that it is a little inappropriate for you and my fiancée to be so close." Xiao Yan was slightly angry.
No man can tolerate his woman having an ambiguous relationship with another man.
But he forgot that his relationship with Liu Nianru was originally what he asked for by wishful thinking.
Liu Nianru had the idea of killing the emperor, and naturally she would not have the idea of killing him. But they were all stopped by Duan Bailan. She can remain calm now, without him, only Duan Bailan's promise - "I won't let you marry Xiao Yan." ”
"In the past, they all lived under one roof, why didn't they mind the Seven Princes at that time?" Duan Bailan said coldly.
He noticed that Liu Nianru suddenly became angry because he said the word fiancée, and he expected that she still minded.
The patrol commander covered his mouth, a little uneasy because he heard the secrets of these big people, but he didn't expect the Lord of the War Forest to be like this in private.
"You, Duan Bailan!" Xiao Yan's voice intensified, and he was angry because he provoked himself.
No matter how bad it was in the past, he would also call Duan Wangye, but this is a matter of a man's dignity.
"What? Obviously, this marriage is your wishful thinking, who doesn't know, Ru'er and I were originally concubines, I don't know when the Seven Princes liked to snatch love with a knife. Duan Bailan hugged Liu Nianru and became more and more arrogant.
These words made Xiao Yan look like an ordinary junior competing for favor, and in Duan Bailan's eyes, he still used that kind of disgraceful method to try to get on the top.
Liu Nianru didn't feel anything, because she and Duan Bailan were in full view before, saying that they admired each other. Although it's just a joke.
But since it's a play, it's good to do a full set if you want to do it. She looked at Xiao Yan's appearance, maybe she angered him and made him not think about it.
"Yes, Seventh Prince, if you have a little conscience, take the initiative to ask the emperor to withdraw from this marriage." Liu Nianru said, "I only have Duan Wang Ye in my heart. ”
Xiao Yan's face showed a look of pain, as if someone had stepped on him hard. "Nianru, I really like you, and I won't give up on you. Even if you are in love, you still can't resist the will, and you still want to marry me in the future. ”
Liu Nianru looked at Xiao Yan strangely, she had never seen such a person who was in a hurry to put on her hat. Seeing Xiao Yan so sure, she became more and more impatient: "It's good if you're happy, what you want to think, don't appear in front of me."
After saying that, she turned around and entered the palace, as if she was extremely disgusted. Duan Bailan hurriedly followed.
And Xiao Yan's face was a little stunned, he had long understood that Liu Nianru had a strange temper. In Jiangnan, she was willing to lend herself money, and he thought that she treated him kindly, at least he didn't hate him. Therefore, he was able to ask for this marriage with such determination. Unexpectedly, she didn't want to see him so much.
said that Duan Bailan followed Liu Nianru in, and saw her walking to the lotus pavilion alone, looking at the lotus pond that had long since withered in a daze.
"Ru'er." Duan Bailan called softly.
Over time, he has become more and more aware of her temperament. Although she is smart, she seems to be deliberately closed to her emotions.
Moreover, she is sometimes gentle and sometimes irritable. It's as if a once lawless bird has suddenly entered a cage and is uneasy.
"I'll be able to control my own destiny, right?" Liu Nianru seemed to be asking him, and as if she was asking herself.
"Yes, I'll be on your side no matter what." Duan Bailan promised.
No matter what she looks like, he will tolerate her, let her slowly open her heart, and feel more beautiful in the world.
……
The dungeon of the palace is no different from the dungeon of General Liu's mansion.
They all pass through a thorny and hidden road, and then a stone door will suddenly appear in front of them, the difference is that there are only two people in front of the dungeon door of the royal mansion, and there are few people at the dungeon door of the general's mansion.
Liu Nianru followed behind Duan Bailan, watching him lead the way in front of him with a tall posture, even if it was a dark dungeon, it felt a little cooler.
Duan Bailan suddenly stopped in front, she didn't check for a while, and almost hit his back, but he hugged him.
The girl in her arms is gentle and soft, and she lacks that ruthlessness, which makes people look like they want to pity and flirt. It's just that when the words came to his lips, he finally restrained himself: "Why is it that you are even distracted when you walk, what do you think, so deeply?"
Liu Nianru was used to his physical contact, and in addition, Duan Bailan had maintained a point-to-point relationship with her.
"No, did the assassin's interrogation come out?" Liu Nianru asked.
It had been a week since the assassin had been handed over to Duan Bailan for interrogation, and he looked like a bony man, so he didn't say anything anyway.
"Well, there's a clue." Duan Bailan rubbed her head, seeing that she was a little disappointed, and added: "It's okay, he should be an assassin registered in Ziwei Pavilion, as long as we go to Ziwei Pavilion to wait for the rabbit, we will definitely be able to find out who is behind the scenes."
