Chapter 36 Can't Wait Any Longer

Holding his mind calmed down, Lu Wan stood up with the door frame and smiled and said, "Why are your cousin here?"

Li Rui stared at her, smiling at the corner of his mouth, but no trace of it reached the bottom of his eyes.

"This time you made great contributions and saved your fourth brother's life. I am his brother, how can you not come to thank you?"

I said thank you, but my voice was cold and there was no temperature.

In fact, after knowing that the fire and the assassin on the ship were heading for Li Yi that day, Lu Wan suspected Li Rui.

He can't do something like fratricide with his brothers and feet.

To take a step back, even if he was not a person sent by him, he would not want to see Li Yi well.

Once Li Yi died, his biggest competitor was gone. The Eastern Palace was located in him, and it was easy to get it.

But she saved Li Yi.

Lu Wan felt cold in her heart, and showed a look of annoyance on her face, and she whispered: "Cousin... I'm forced to do it too."

Li Ruiyi pointed out, "What? Is there any inside story that I don't know?"

In just one day, Li Rui's suspicion spread endlessly like a flood passing through the border.

He never expected that such a thing happened between the two, and Li Yi not only did not hide it, but also invited her father to reward her.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the relationship between the two was extraordinary and even ambiguous.

Thinking of this, Li Rui's breathing became heavy without realizing it. His hands, which were placed on the edge of the table, clenched into a fist, and the veins on the back of his hand were protruding.

Lu Wan saw his expression in her eyes. She looked at him timidly and begged: "I only told my cousin about this matter, I must not tell you..."

Li Rui comforted her and said, "I will never tell the third person."

After saying that, he pulled her to sit beside her and whispered intimately: "What if it is just a little secret between you and me?"

The pungent ambergris came again, and Lu Wan turned shyly and said, "I was resting in the inner cabin that day. Lancao went to the boat house for seasickness medicine. The boat caught fire behind it. I saw Lancao not returning, so I went to find her. I didn't expect to just meet the injured Prince Yi..."

"He asked me to help him pull the dart on his back, how dare I? When he saw that I refused, he stopped me and refused to let me go, and threatened me that if I didn't help him, I would die there..."

"But when I helped him pull out the raft, he left me and ran away alone..."

Speaking of this, Lu Wan's eyes turned red, "I am the same brother, my cousin is so open, but King Yi is like this... If I hadn't been rescued by the boat family later, I'm afraid I would never see you again."

Hearing this, Li Rui's expression improved slightly, and Lu Wan's statement was in line with Li Yi's style.

But he still had questions in his mind.

"Since he forced you to do it, why did he ask your father for rewards?"

"How can I know? But when I entered the palace, Madam Jin taught me that when I saw the emperor, I would not give me rewards, but only plead for the Lu family. I did as I did, but I didn't expect that the emperor really agreed."

She pretended to be unaware, but Li Rui heard the meaning from her words.

Li Yi did this obviously because he deliberately gave favors to the Lu family, so as to take the opportunity to win over his relationship with the Lu family.

"I heard that King Yi met you alone, what did he say to you?"

Lu Wan tightened her sleeves in a hurry and shook her head: "I didn't say anything."

There is something hidden in the sleeve bag.

Li Rui's eyes turned cold and he pretended to pull her hand, but when he touched her cuff, he shook hard, and something really rolled out of it, and with a "bang" sound, it fell to the ground.

Lu Wan exclaimed and rushed forward to pick it up, but Li Rui's sharp eyes had already recognized the thing at a glance. It was the blood jade ring that Li Yi had worn on his right thumb for many years.

"I don't know when you started to learn to lie?"

"My cousin misunderstood. This thing was not for me..."

Li Rui had accumulated anger for a day, and it was hard to suppress it anymore. He coldly condensed her, put his right hand on his left wrist and slowly turned it.

Lu Wan was too familiar with his move. In his previous life, this move was when he killed Nie Zhan and her fetus in her belly.

Lu Wan did not retreat but advanced, stepped forward and came to him two steps and explained in a panic: "Cousin, this is what King Yi asked me to bring to my third sister... It turned out that they were given privately, and Yuli was not in line. In order to protect the reputation of the third sister, I dare not tell you, but now that you have discovered it, don't tell me..."

Li Rui looked stunned, but this was something he didn't expect.

Lu Wan pointed at him with a board and asked for advice: "This matter is quite difficult, and I am just worried about it. Since my cousin knows, why don't you give me an idea?"

Li Rui stared at her: "What's the problem? Just give it to your third cousin."

Lu Wan frowned: "My cousin doesn't know anything. When King Yi was confused, his mother suggested that the third sister go to the palace to serve with his grandmother. Unexpectedly, the third sister gets furious..."

"Look, the third sister doesn't seem to like King Yi. So I'm afraid that this ring will not be sent out, but will make the third sister annoy me - what do you think I'm going to do?"

Lu Youning had already told Li Rui about entering the palace to serve the disease. At that time, she was full of grievance and cried in front of him for a long time, and made a great vow that she would never marry Li Yi in this life.

In this way, it proved again that Lu Wan did not lie to him.

In an instant, Li Rui's suspicion dissipated like a flood receding.

How could a person who was so arrogant like Li Yi, who fell in love with this dull and stupid little concubine? He deliberately approached her several times, but was just using her...

Ji Yan finally recovered from her face. Li Rui reached out and pointed her nose and said intimately: "Since you know you can't send it out, you will naturally not send it."

...

It was late at night when I returned to Prince Rui's Mansion.

King Rui came to the study, and adviser Xu Zhi gave him a list of auspicious days to review.

"Your Highness, this is the auspicious day chosen by the Imperial Heavenly Prison. Which day does your Highness think is the right day?"

Without even looking at the list, Li Rui raised his hand and put it on the candlelight, allowing it to be engulfed by the flame.

"Your Highness..." Xu Zhi couldn't understand.

"I'll leave you an errand and find a way to resolve this engagement for me, and get it done quickly!"

Li Yi has taken the initiative to show his goodwill to Lu Youning, and he can't wait any longer.

Last time, Lu Youning came to him and cried, not only told her that her family forced her to enter the palace to serve the disease, but also made it clear to him for the first time that he wanted him to quit his marriage with Lu Wan and marry her instead.

Although Lu Youning vowed not to marry Li Yi, he was afraid that his father would give him a marriage. The father loved the house and the mistress, and he always favored the mother and son. If Li Yi went to ask him, his father would definitely follow him.

Therefore, he had to decide on his marriage to Lu Youning before him.

Then, Lu Wan, this useless abandoned child, has to find a way to get rid of it...
