Chapter 178: Heartbeat
Qin Wan thought about it for a while and understood what Xiao Yan meant.
In the original book, Leng Yuan was killed by Qin Tianfu because the original Qin Wan was also dead, but now that he is still alive, Leng Yuan still has use value.
Qin Tianfu was able to get to this position today, it was not completely useless, he was a person who would maximize the resources he had, as long as Leng Yuan still had use value, he would not die.
"You're right." Qin Wan agreed with Xiao Yan's opinion.
Xiao Yan has followed Qin Tianfu for so many years, and he really knows his temperament very well.
Qianji Battalion, North Courtyard.
The night was bitterly cold, the frost and wind were cold, and a fine snow drifted outside, falling thinly on the cold ground.
The lotus pond in the courtyard was covered with a thin layer of ice, and the withered lotus leaves lay on the ice softly, without the slightest life.
Without the light of the moon, the room was so dark that almost nothing could be seen.
Leng Yuan sat cross-legged on the bed, and his mind kept flashing back to the words that Qin Tianfu had said in the secret room.
He had followed Qin Tianfu for so many years, so he naturally knew how terrible Qin Tianfu was.
As long as it is the person Qin Tianfu wants to kill, no one can escape the fate of death.
Xiao Yan is bound to die.
But Qin Wan can now have another choice, just like before, to enjoy the glory and wealth.
Even if it wasn't for the sake of being able to stay by her side day and night, just to get her out of the fate of being displaced now, everything seemed to be worth it.
There was a sudden chaos outside, and several guards of the Thousand Machine Battalion broke into the north courtyard.
"Commander Leng, the west courtyard is on fire, let's come to the lotus pond to fetch water." The leader of the group reported in a loud voice.
Although Leng Yuan was escorted to Qin Tianfu like a criminal before, these ordinary guards didn't know the inside story, and they respected Leng Yuan as always.
Leng Yuan opened the door and asked them to fetch their own water.
Several guards took buckets and put them into the lotus pond, and the thin surface of ice instantly cracked into countless pieces and melted into the dark and dreary water.
Leng Yuan looked in the direction of the west courtyard, only to see black smoke rising from there, diffusing into the deep night.
He asked, "How could the West Courtyard catch fire?" β
"We don't know, the fire is too big, and the Wind Commander will let us put out the fire first."
The guards hurriedly carried buckets full of water to put out the fire, but Leng Yuan did not follow.
His relationship with Feng Wuxian is not good, so there is no need to join in the fun.
He turned and went back into his room.
As a killer, the moment Leng Yuan entered the room, he smelled a strange breath.
His nerves tensed, but before he could react, a sharp object landed against his waist, "Don't move." β
The voice did not carry any murderous aura, but revealed a feeling of smiling but not laughing.
And that timbre was so familiar that Leng Yuan's heart trembled.
He turned his head and looked at the man behind him.
In the vast dark night, Qin Wan's star-like eyes dazzled his heart for a moment, as if it was filled with warm sunlight, overflowing with a lazy feeling of afternoon numbness.
His Adam's apple trembled, suppressing the turbulence in his heart, "Why are you here?" β
"I heard from the people of Qianjiwei that you were captured by Qin Tianfu, how is the situation now?" Qin Wan asked.
She's here for him?
At that moment, he almost couldn't suppress his emotions and wanted to hug the woman in front of him into his arms.
But as soon as he moved, he felt the sharp knife against his abdomen, and he couldn't help but calm down again.
"The emperor didn't treat me well." Leng Yuan paused, raised his eyes into Qin Wan's eyes, and said, "He just said that he regretted it and wanted you to return to the capital." β
"He wants to separate me from Xiao Yan and break each one, right?" Qin Wan laughed mockingly.
"The emperor gave a death order, you must kill Xiao Yan, you follow him, you can only live a life of exile, return to the capital, you are still a princess on top, the emperor will reward you with Jiangnan Mansion, the life of Yanshui Jiangnan is more suitable for you than the harsh environment of Xizhou Mansion."
Qin Wan smiled, "High up? Do you have any misconceptions about being on top? My previous life of being bullied in the palace was high? Even if Qin Tianfu gave me Jiangnan Mansion, he wouldn't let me go to Jiangnan Mansion, are you too naΓ―ve, or just don't want to think about all this? He told me to go back because I wasn't like what he thought I was, and he found out what I was worth. β
"In any case, he is your father after all."
"It is immoral for a man to want only rights and not to pay obligations, he has never fulfilled his obligations to me, for him I am just a pawn, no, an outcast! If I really am just a delicate and frail princess, I have already died in Xizhou Mansion, and now you tell me that he is my father, don't you think it is ridiculous? β
"Princess Wan......"
"Don't call me Princess." Qin Wan withdrew the knife against his waist and said coldly: "I'm not a princess, not now, and not in the future." Leng Yuan, since Qin Tianfu didn't kill you, you can go, the farther you go, the better, and don't get involved in our affairs anymore. β
After speaking, she didn't wait for Leng Yuan to speak, and pushed the door and left.
Using the wire gun, in the blink of an eye, Qin Wan disappeared into the vast night.
Leng Yuan looked at her departing back, and a sour feeling welled up in his heart.
He should have guessed that she would not turn back, and now Qin Wan is no longer the delicate and cowardly little girl.
After a long time, Leng Yuan went back to the house and took the sword, and also entered the long night.
He was overjoyed that she could come for him.
Since she wanted him to leave, he did what she wanted.
Otherwise, if her existence is discovered by the thousand guards, I'm afraid it will be troublesome.
He didn't want to put her in danger.
Outside the Qianji Camp is the Mingyue Mountain of the capital, and you can take in the entire capital from the halfway point of the peak here.
It's just that today's night snow, and the bottom is also hazy, and you can only faintly see that the moat around the city is like a black snake that encircles the entire capital.
Qin Wan simply looked up to see the black snow in the sky, only the front was white, cold and cold, clear and cold.
"Isn't it cold?"
A black plush collared cape was draped over her body from behind, bringing warmth and insulating her from the cold world.
Qin Wan looked back at Xiao Yan, "Sure enough, as you expected, Qin Tianfu let Leng Yuan go, and he asked Leng Yuan to persuade me to go back to the capital." β
"What are you going to do?"
"If I had to go back, I wouldn't be here." Qin Wan said: "I have nothing to do with Qin Tianfu. β
Xiao Yan took her hand and smiled wordlessly.
Qin Wan said: "This time I went back to the capital, I didn't just come back for Leng Yuan, Qin Zheng and Qin Tianfu always had to pay the price for the things they did to us along the way, and there were ......."
After a pause, her expression became solemn, "Who caused your poison, just take advantage of this to investigate clearly." β
