Shen Dingzhu guessed that Wei Wan wanted to negotiate terms with Xiao Langyan without asking.
Her bright pink face showed a natural calmness: "The emperor just goes to talk to her, we just wait to know the result."
However, Shen Dingzhu did not expect that Xiao Langyan would definitely take her with him.
When the two of them arrived at the door of Wei Wan's room, Xiao Langyan still held her hand, tilted his head and said in a low voice: "She once caused me to be separated from you, so I must be careful when I see her, lest she do something else. , causing you to misunderstand."
Shen Dingzhu's beautiful dark eyes revealed a chuckle: "No matter what Wei Wan does, I will never be fooled by her."
The two entered the house side by side, with Chen Heng and his guards closely guarding them.
Wei Wan was seriously injured. He is still lying on the bed and cannot move.
The wound on her face that was separated by the knife was no longer bleeding, but the pink flesh around the wound was slightly everted. At first glance, it looked a bit scary.
Xiao Langyan calmly blocked Shen Dingzhu behind him and said coldly: "If you have anything to say, you can say it now."
Wei Wan was looking at Shen Dingzhu behind Xiao Langyan with jealous eyes that were about to go crazy. It wasn't until Xiao Langyan spoke that her eyes became a little bitter and she turned to him.
"Your Majesty, you must have run out of dandelion grass, right? I heard from the guards that I was in a coma for more than a month, and the last batch of dandelion grass should be waiting outside the city. You can't get it without me."
Xiao Langyan pursed his thin lips into a straight line, and his slightly drooped eyes were pitch black.
Wei Wan laughed, but it involved the hideous wound on his face, and he hissed in pain. After a while, she said again: "Make me your concubine, and send the decree of concubine to my father, the King of Changliu Kingdom." Come on, I will help you get this batch of herbs."
When Shen Dingzhu heard it, there was no ripple on his bright face.
Even now, she is still thinking about her dream of becoming a concubine.
"I spared your life because I didn't want to take the trouble to get it. If you could cooperate with me, I would be lenient to you. But you are still so wishful thinking, so I have nothing to say."
Wei Wan refused to give up, struggled slightly, raised his neck slightly, and stared at Xiao Langyan closely: "The people escorting the herbal medicine are all dead soldiers of Changliu Kingdom. They only recognize my face and cannot see me. They would rather die." I won’t hand over the hidden herbs!”
He held Shen Dingzhu's hand tightly with his big palm and looked at Wei Wan with eyes full of murderous indifference.
I just heard Xiao Langyan sneer: "I know, that's why I kept your life. I heard that they have a habit of storing herbs separately in Buddha statues and pretending to be businessmen when entering the city. Do you think I can find it?" Get them?”
Wei Wan was shocked when he heard this. After he realized what he said, his eyes almost burst out of anger.
"Jing Yi! Jing Yi, a traitor and a despicable person, will die badly if he tells you this secret!" She struggled to sit up.
Chen Heng and others immediately held her down and locked her to the bed with chains.
Shen Dingzhu only took half a step away from Xiao Langyan at this time, her beautiful eyes were like frost, and her face was bright and pink: "Jing Yi has cut off my flesh and blood with you, and he is no longer yours. Your curse should be kept to himself." Bar. "
Wei Wan's venomous eyes stared at her fiercely. Two wounds were torn on her cheeks, and slender streams of blood flowed out, making her look even more terrifying.
"Queen Shen, you and Emperor Jin won't be happy for long, I promise." After saying that, she laughed arrogantly.
Xiao Langyan frowned, held Shen Dingzhu's shoulders and walked out the door. Then he turned back and asked Chen Heng coldly: "How is the master who is good at ventriloquism doing?"
"80% similar." As soon as Wei Wan woke up today, they brought him.
Chen Heng stimulated Wei Wan to talk, and the master sat behind the screen, opening his mouth like a second Wei Wan, even she was stunned.
Shen Dingzhu probably guessed their plan and was a little stunned.
Xiao Langyan could actually think of such a method?
After Chen Heng said this, Xiao Langyan nodded and said decisively and neatly: "Cut her tongue."
He really didn't like what she said when she cursed Shen Dingzhu just now.
Chen Heng accepted the order, and Xiao Langyan took Shen Dingzhu away.
Return to the room.
Shen Dingzhu didn't need to ask, Xiao Langyan took the initiative to tell her his plan.
It turned out that he had made two preparations.
Wei Wan woke up. If he retreated despite the difficulties and was willing to help them, Xiao Langyan would not use such troublesome methods.
But now that she didn't cooperate, Xiao Langyan could only have her tied up, put in a soft sedan, and carried to see the dead soldiers of the Changliu Kingdom who were responsible for transporting the herbs.
Those people only recognized Wei Wan's face and voice. According to Jing Yi, the questions they asked were the same every time.
Therefore, Xiao Langyan sent people to secretly find a person in Beijing who was good at ventriloquism more than a month ago, and asked him to hide behind Wei Wan, so that there would be no problem in confusing the fake with the real one.
After hearing such a complicated plan, Shen Dingzhu felt that it was somewhat reliable, but she was afraid of accidents when it was implemented.
"What if this method doesn't work?" Shen Dingzhu couldn't help but ask.
When Xiao Langyan saw her long eyelashes and the way she looked at him seriously, strong love surged in his heart repeatedly.
He smiled, stretched out his arms to hold her in his arms, and held her lower back with his big hands.
"If that doesn't work, we can only choose the second method. Taking advantage of the theft of the armory these days, I have already deployed elite soldiers in the city. If we can't get the herbs, I can only violently investigate all the newly built Buddha statues."
Shen Dingzhu pondered.
Although this method is somewhat ungrateful, it is also the safest method.
Because Xiao Langyan decided to come to Chengzhou temporarily, Wei Wan followed him here and asked those people to transport the herbs.
If they want to hide medicinal herbs in Buddha statues, they only need to check the Buddha statues built within two months, and they will probably be able to find the dandelion grass.
"No wonder there have been fewer elite guards guarding the mansion recently." Shen Dingzhu said.
Xiao Langyan brought 3,000 elite soldiers from the capital. Most of them were setting up defenses at this time, and a small number were stationed around Rongan City to watch and report news.
At present, there are less than a hundred people left in the small Shi family, and all of them are powerful Ouchi masters.
Xiao Langyan nodded: "I still want to discuss it with you. I promised to take you on an outing to enjoy the flowers, but I'm afraid it will be postponed for a few days."
Of course Shen Dingzhu understood that as an emperor, it was not an option for him to stay in Rongan City for a long time. He should get the dandelion grass as soon as possible, and then the two of them set off back to the capital.
"Okay," Shen Dingzhu hugged his waist and leaned into his arms, "You can see outings and scenic views anywhere. I just want your legs to heal faster. You don't have to worry about me until you return to Beijing." Let’s take a good look.”
Xiao Langyan stroked her black hair, his thin eyes were heavy, and he said thoughtfully: "Don't worry, it will be soon."
He raised his sharp and cold black eyes and looked at the swaying green shade of a tree outside the window. The deep black in his eyes was as fierce as an icy arrow, more like a ferocious beast secretly targeting its prey.
Xiao Langyan's personality is not one to be manipulated by others. Even if the other party has something he wants, his habit is to grab it first regardless of the consequences, and then talk about other things.
…
Xiao Langyan became very busy. Secret messages kept coming from the capital, and he was asked for all major and minor matters regarding the city's defense.
Often when he returned to the room at night, Shen Dingzhu had already fallen asleep.
Afraid that she would be bored, Xiao Langyan relaxed his restraints on Jing Yi. During the day, when Jing Yi had nothing to do, he could come to Shen Dingzhu's room and stand there, acting like a quiet stone.
On this day, the sun was clear and bright, and Shen Dingzhu was sitting on the porch, reading a book.
She caught a glimpse of Jing Yi's tall and strong body not far away. He could actually do nothing and just look at her. He often stayed in this posture for a whole day.
If Shen Dingzhu hadn't known him, he would have thought he couldn't speak.
"Jing Yi." Shen Dingzhu put down the book and called him sideways.
Jing Yi's brown and black tiger pupils suddenly had waves, and he responded dully: "Yeah!"
Looking at his appearance, it seemed that Shen Dingzhu had finally assigned him a task.
Shen Dingzhu smiled helplessly: "Do you have any hobbies? For example, reading, practicing calligraphy, or reading playbooks."
Jing Yi frowned hesitantly and shook his head slowly: "No."
"Then when you are usually with the master, if the master doesn't do anything, what are you doing?"
"Practice martial arts."
"anything else?"
Jing Yi thought hard for a long time before he managed to squeeze out two words: "In a daze."
It was Shen Dingzhu's turn to be silent. After thinking for a while, she handed over the book she had just read.
"Do you know how to read? Let me show you this book."
Jing Yi looked at it twice and nodded: "The master before Wei Wan taught me how to read, but after I stayed with Wei Wan, she didn't allow me to continue reading."
Shen Dingzhu asked curiously: "Don't all the dead men of Changliu Kingdom have only one master? How did you meet Wei Wan again?"
