Chapter Seventy-Eight: It's Man-Made
"Xuan...... Prince Xuanyuan? ”
Liu Ruwan didn't see Xuanyuan's figure, but the figure that had been deeply imprinted in her mind, accompanied by the voice, finally reminded her of her memories again. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The man who once rushed into his ordinary world and disrupted his own world, the man who made him think about it and worried about it, but he was unwilling to get close to him, the man who showed his love to him and expected him to take him out of the sea of suffering, but rejected him mercilessly, is it finally reappeared at this moment?
However, when she opened the door, Liu Ruwan didn't see anyone at all.
"Did I hallucinate......" Liu Ruwan muttered.
I don't know why, I seem to have accepted the fact that I want to get married, but at this moment, because of the "auditory hallucination" just now, the waves are stirring up again, and tears suddenly welled up in the corners of my dry eyes, I don't know if it's because of bitterness or self-deprecation......
"Shopkeeper Liu, don't come unharmed?"
Just as she was about to close the door and go to bed, a voice suddenly sounded in the house, and this time Liu Ruwan was sure that she had no auditory hallucinations! Turning around again, a man in a black robe was already standing in the room. The brim of the hat faded, and the familiar face finally emerged.
"Prince Xuanyuan? Is it really you? You... What are you doing here? wiped away her tears in an instant, and Liu Ruwan's expression was only surprised. This is the imperial city, if her father knew that Xuanyuan Chenxi was standing in front of him, even if he alarmed the prime minister, he would definitely be captured, so in her opinion, Xuanyuan's coming this time was simply a sheep's mouth.
"Shopkeeper Liu is about to get married, but Xiaosheng didn't receive an invitation, so he came to visit, I don't know if it scared you?" Regulus gave his trademark smile.
"It's very dangerous here, it's not comparable to Xicheng, the prime minister has countless minions, no matter how powerful you are, it will be difficult to escape if you are discovered, you better leave while no one is around." Liu Ruwan kindly reminded.
"It's okay, I've already taken down the induction spirit wall outside, if someone approaches me, I can detect it, and then leave incognito like just now." Xuanyuan's answer was not distempered, but he was just observing Liu Ruwan's demeanor.
"Oh, is that so...... I wonder what you're here for? Liu Ruwan relaxed a little, and asked Xiang Xuanyuan again, but she had already changed to a polite look, without the slightest concern and chaos just now.
"You're going to marry the prime minister's son? I'm afraid you didn't do it voluntarily, right? Regulus asked bluntly.
"Don't worry about my son, I'm voluntary, what's the matter, I have nothing to do with my son, do I still have to ask my son about my marriage?" Liu Ruwan looked like a stranger, which made Xuanyuan feel more and more wrong.
Seeing Xuanyuan at this moment, Liu Ruwan's heart was naturally mixed, how could she be voluntary? But she finally made up her mind, she was really afraid that she would be shaken by the arrival of Xuanyuan, so she pretended to be ruthless.
"But, you didn't seem to have said that just now......" Xuanyuan said slowly.
"Just now?" Liu Ruwan didn't react, but after thinking about it, she understood again. "You...... Did you hear it all? ”
"Tell me the truth, maybe I can help Ling Tang." The more Liu Ruwan covered up the facts, the more Xuanyuan felt that something was wrong.
"Why should I tell you? I can solve it myself. Besides, how can you have the ability to solve my problem? Liu Ruwan's expression was quite stubborn.
"Hmm...... With the fact that I won the top prize of the three state banquet competitions, okay? Xuanyuan took out three golden tokens from the storage artifact.
"How is this possible?! How can a person be able to attend three state banquets?! "Although Liu Ruwan is just a young lady in the depths of the boudoir, she also recognizes this champion order.
"No, I just participated in this state banquet." Regulus was still smiling.
"You...... You only won three championships in this big competition? Although Liu Ruwan is not a cultivator, she is also incredulous that this kind of thing happened.
"Hmm." Regulus replied as if it had nothing to do with him. "Is this qualified to help you solve your problem?"
"Even if you can solve it, what can you do, the power of the prime minister is not what you can imagine, no matter how powerful you are, you are just one person, can you still make the entire Ming Kingdom change?" Liu Ruwan's words, I don't know if she was persuading Xuanyuan to retreat in the face of difficulties, or telling herself not to be delusional......
"It's man-made, only if you tell me, I will have a chance to help you solve the problem." Try it, maybe there's a chance for a turn, if you don't try, you won't even ......have a chance," Xuanyuan shrugged.
"Why are you helping me?" Liu Ruwan asked this question with great difficulty, and at this time he looked at Xuanyuan's confident expression, and for some reason, tears actually welled up in his eyes again.
"What's the matter, what I said provoked you?" Where did Xuanyuan understand Liu Ruwan's mood twists and turns at this time. From the perspective of him, a cultivator who does not understand the love between men and women, the only difference between helping Liu Ruwan this time and seeing righteousness and courage is that he has drunk Liu Ruwan for more than a year and dreamed of death.
"Answer me, why?!" Liu Ruwan's face was full of tears, and her originally beautiful voice was a little hoarse.
"Uh-uh, because...... You are my friend. Xuanyuan was at a loss, so he had to answer. After all, he can't always answer "because your drunken dreams are delicious", right?
"Friend......" Liu Ruwan smiled miserably.
"......" Xuanyuan didn't know how to continue.
Liu Ruwan slowly turned around and sat back on the chair she had made before, her eyes a little hollow.
"The day after you left Xicheng, I received a letter from my mother saying that she had been forced by her father to drink a chronic poison that would not flare up for a month, but would cause her to burn to death after a month. The way to change the antidote is for me to come back and marry that cripple. When Liu Ruwan said the word 'father', there was a trace of disgust on her face.
"How did my father have the means to get that kind of medicine, I think I know that the prime minister gave it to him. I can't imagine that my father will sacrifice me for his official career, even his wife, my mother, he will not let go! She gritted her teeth a little at this. Anyone who has such a father will probably not feel good.
"So you're back?" Xuanyuan also understood, and then connected with what he heard outside the house just now, he probably understood the truth of the matter. Therefore, he also looks down on Liu Ruwan's father.
"Otherwise, what else can I do? A poison that no one can identify by doctors, what can I do as a woman? My mother treats me like a mountain, for her safety, I have to ......" Liu Ruwan couldn't speak anymore at this time, tears couldn't stop flowing out, even Xuanyuan felt sad.
Liu Ruwan's experience is tragic in itself, she was born in a rich family, but she does not have the life of a rich person, and she is not a cultivator, so she is really powerless in the face of such a fate.
"Has your mother taken the antidote now?" Xuanyuan froze and asked again.
"Nope. Until I and the prime minister's son enter the cave room, I'm afraid the prime minister won't give my mother an antidote. Liu Ruwan said.
"If I can, tomorrow afternoon, I hope Ling Tang can go to the Xuanwang Mansion in the Imperial City, and I will try to detoxify her." Xuanyuan said.
"That kind of poison that even doctors can't do, do you have a way?" Liu Ruwan didn't hold out much hope.
Regulus straightened his shirt and put on his hood again.
"It's man-made."
