Chapter 101: Revisiting Hefengzhuang
As for why he fell in love with Yunluan alone, and even took the initiative to ask for marriage...... Xiao Tingyan also truthfully reported to the emperor. He said that someone poisoned him, and it was Yunluan who saved his life. There is no way to repay the grace of saving lives, but only to make a promise. So, this is the reason why he fell in love with Yunluan. The emperor has a weak heart, he naturally knows why Xiao Tingyan was poisoned, he is afraid that Xiao Tingyan will find something, so how dare he refuse Xiao Tingyan's request? The decree of marriage, for various reasons, was so smoothly requested. The impact of this incident on Yun Luan was really not small, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that this holy decree, whether it was for her, Xiao Tingyan, or the entire Yun Mansion, was a good thing. Since then, she has had a great help, even if she and Xiao Tingyan plan something in the future and often gather together, then the emperor will not suspect them of what they are planning in secret. This is undoubtedly the biggest barrier and umbrella for them. Xiao Tingyan's trick, drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle, is really exquisite. Yun Luan raised her head and looked at Xiao Tingyan, and for the first time she realized that His Royal Highness the Banquet King, who was amazingly talented, was not frail and sickly as the world thought, weak and deceitful. He was able to break through the shackles of power from the power of the current saint, retreat from Kyoto again and again, and return to the north smoothly, which naturally took a lot of energy and calculation. If he was taken lightly, he would have become a corpse long ago. Xiao Tingyan's only drawback is that once others treat him well, he will repay it a thousand times over, because Qin Ji once almost lost his life to save him, and since then he has treated Qin Ji as his own, and gradually let go of his guard against her and opened his sincere heart. Now, Xiao Tingyan has opened that sincere heart to Yunluan. Yun Luan's mood only felt quite complicated. The relationship between them is not so much that of an unmarried couple, but of a partner who fights side by side and helps through thick and thin. Now she doesn't want to fall in love, she just wants to do everything to protect her family and the lintel of Yunfu. Xiao Tingyan looked at Yun Luan's expression of wanting to speak and stopped, he was afraid that she would be pressured, so he immediately added empathetically. "The decree of marriage is only an expedient measure. It doesn't involve the feelings of the two of us...... If...... If you meet someone you like in the future, you can break the marriage contract with this king at any time. ”
Yun Luan was stunned, but he didn't expect Xiao Tingyan to say this. However, his words made her feel a little less oppressive. Such a gentle and considerate man is really rare in the world. If it weren't for his weak and sickly body, coupled with his status that the emperor feared, I am afraid that the entire women of Kyoto City would want to marry him. Even if he is in his current situation, there are still some people in Kyoto who are crazy about him. In the past, she had heard rumors that there were women who were jealous for Xiao Ting's banquet. I don't know, when this marriage decree spreads, will those women who admire Xiao Tingyan go crazy one by one? Yun Luan pursed the corners of his lips and said sincerely: "King Yan, thank you...... Thank you for all this you have done for me. ”
When she was in the vortex of despair, it was he who was desperate to pull her up. gave her the greatest protection and support. This made her feel that she had made the right decision to save him before. Xiao Tingyan is a very reliable person, without any aggression, no matter who gets along with him, he will not have a sense of crisis, he is indeed a person who can give others a sense of security. Xiao Tingyan gathered the brocade quilt for her, continued to hold the handkerchief, and gently wiped the sweat stains on her forehead. "No thanks, the two of us are mutually beneficial, and we will support each other in the future and go on together...... If you are willing to give your back to this king, this king will naturally not let you down. ”
Yun Luan's nose couldn't help but be slightly sour. She lowered her eyes and fell silent for a moment...... Thinking of Yun Feng's situation, she raised her head and looked at Xiao Tingyan again. "Where is my second brother now? I want to see him......" Xiao Tingyan stared at her pale cheeks, and reminded with some disapproval: "You are seriously injured now, and you can't get out of bed and move around at will...... Your second brother is there, this king arranged for Wang Kun to take care of him, you don't have to worry. This king will keep an eye on his situation at all times......" Yun Luan shook her head, her voice was a little hoarse: "I want to go and see him...... Now, my father and eldest brother are gone......" she stopped talking, and was silent for a long time. Her body exudes intense sorrow and sorrow. "I only have the second brother left......" Xiao Tingyan's heart trembled slightly, and he subconsciously wanted to hold her hand and tell her that she still had him. However, in the next moment, he suddenly came to his senses. He can't be compared to the people of the Yun family, and his weight in Yun Luan's heart is far less than the weight of her family in her heart. He is nothing, except that they are partners, and there is no emotional bond between them. Xiao Tingyan looked at the sadness in Yun Luan's eyes, he couldn't bear to refuse her, he knew that he shouldn't agree to her, but he still nodded softly. Yun Luan was seriously injured and couldn't get out of bed and walk around, so Xiao Tingyan didn't say a word, so he bent over to pick up Yun Luan. Yun Luan was startled for a moment, and hurriedly asked hesitantly: "Your body is so weak, can you do it?" Otherwise, send another guy to hug me. ”
Xiao Tingyan raised his eyebrows and looked at Yun Luan helplessly: "Do you think this king is very weak?" You can't even hold one? ”
Yun Luan was dumbfounded for a while. Don't you think he's weak, isn't the condition he's always shown to be frail and sickly, and his body is very weak? She was worried about his body, afraid that he would not be able to hold on...... She's obviously kind. But when she looked at him, why was she a little more annoyed? Yun Luan didn't know what to say for a while. Xiao Tingyan pursed his thin lips and hugged Yun Luan horizontally without saying a word, Yun Luan subconsciously reached out and grabbed the clothes by his collar. A smile flashed in his eyes: "What? I'm afraid that this king won't be able to hold you and accidentally drop you? ”
Yun Luan's cheeks flushed suddenly. "No, I didn't mean that......" Xiao Tingyan smiled faintly, and carried her out of the camp steadily, the steps were very steady, and there was no messiness and vanity. Moreover, her shoulder was close to Xiao Tingyan's arm, and through her clothes, she could faintly feel his lean and firm texture. This kind of texture curvature is definitely not something that a frail and sickly person can have......
