As soon as Qin Zhen came out of the main hall, she felt a cool breeze coming towards her face. It was so cold that she shivered unconsciously.
Manman was stopped outside the palace, and there was no one around to help her. Qin Zhen had no choice but to rub her arms, huddle up, and walk out of the palace against the cold wind.
Just after taking two steps, he felt a cloak covering his head.
There was still residual warmth in the cloak, which instantly blocked the cold wind and warmed her body.
Qin Zhen turned around and saw Shanglou Yan's slightly frowning eyebrows. Then the man opened his mouth to lecture: "I know it's cold at night, but I don't know how to wear more clothes when I go out. Who will suffer if I get sick? I don't want to drink that bitter concoction.
Just take care of your body."
Qin Zhen: "..."
She was still a little uncomfortable, but now that Lou Yan reprimanded her, those discomforts disappeared instantly.
She rolled her eyes, stretched out her hand, pulled the cloak, and wrapped it tightly around herself.
Lou Yan saw her eyes roll and was a little dissatisfied: "Do you think I'm nagging you? If you think I'm annoying, then take good care of yourself."
Qin Zhen: "...I know."
The two of them walked side by side outside the palace, and Qin Zhen couldn't help but look at her sideways: "You don't want to avoid suspicion? Now, I am that savage beast, and no one dares to get close to me."
The emperor used his love to roast her on the fire so that no one dared to come near her.
This is why she has been in Beijing for so long without even having half a friend.
Lou Yan had no expression on his face and said in an indifferent tone: "I even got the marriage decree, so what am I afraid of? If the emperor wants to be suspicious, just let him kill me."
Qin Zhen: "..."
She silently gave Lou Yan a thumbs up: awesome!
Lou Yan laughed, and then said slowly: "It doesn't matter to me."
"Huh?" Qin Zhen looked at him puzzled.
Lou Yan stopped, looked back at Qin Zhen, and said, "The prince, the fourth prince, and anyone else who has a close relationship with you will be suspected and feared by him. Only I will not."
"I come from the common people, have no relatives, no cliques, and the only one I can rely on is him. He knows that anyone may rebel against him, but I will not." Lou Yan said softly, "Even if you really marry me, with me
Even with his status, it won't be a big deal. So, I dare to ask him for a marriage decree, so I dare to get close to you blatantly."
Seeing him like this, Qin Zhen felt a sense of discomfort in her heart for some unknown reason, which made the tip of her nose sore and she almost shed tears.
She took a breath secretly and held it back.
The next moment, I heard Lou Yan say: "Zhen Zhen, it turns out that I can only survive if I have nothing."
Qin Zhen couldn't bear it anymore and quickly turned away. A tear slid down her cheek and disappeared quickly.
She was glad that it was at night and the light was dim so the other party could not see clearly.
She couldn't help but think of Lou Shulan.
Mother and son had been dependent on each other for more than ten years and had nothing but each other.
However, Lou Yan doesn't even have a mother now.
It seems that he is the only one left in this world.
What's even more ironic is that this loneliness with nothing has actually become his protective color.
Qin Zhen was speechless. She was afraid that she would cry as soon as she opened her mouth. She didn't know why she felt so sad all of a sudden.
Lou Yan didn't seem to notice anything strange about her and only said softly: "Let's go."
The two of them walked out for a long time without saying a word.
When they arrived at the palace gate, Manman and Linglong came over quickly.
Manman was still holding a cloak in his hand. Looking at the cloak on Qin Zhen, he felt at a loss.
Linglong, on the other hand, was a little at a loss when she saw that her master was wearing thin clothes and the cloak that he had prepared flew to the princess.
Finally, it was Qin Zhen who reacted.
She took off her cloak and threw it to Lou Yan, then took the cloak from Manman's hand and put it on.
Although she moved very quickly, she still shivered from the cold. After all, Lou Yan's cloak was hot, while the one on Manman's hand was cold.
Lou Yan saw it, frowned, and looked at Manman: "How did you take care of the princess? It's such a cold day and you didn't prepare a cloak?"
Manman's expression changed, and her eyes turned red with fright: "I was negligent for a moment, and I realized my mistake."
Lou Yan said coldly: "Since you can't take good care of the princess, then come back and let Linglong go."
Manman was stunned for a moment, then burst into tears.
Qin Zhen twitched the corner of her mouth and glared at Lou Yan: "Is it fun to bully a little girl?"
Lou Yan: "..."
He was just admonishing his subordinates.
"I think Manman is fine. There are no problems and there is no need to change." Qin Zhen glared at Lou Yan and said, "Besides, Manman is mine now. Have you taught her a lesson or asked me?"
Lou Yan had a headache and whispered: "Zhen Zhen."
"Don't exchange Manman back!" Qin Zhen said angrily.
Lou Yan looked at her for a moment, then finally lost his battle and turned to Manman and said, "In the future, you must not be negligent when you are around the princess. If the princess is harmed because of you, I will not be lenient.
Qin Zhen was a little dissatisfied with Lou Yan teaching his maid, but thinking about how Manman came from the third prince's house, she still endured it and said nothing.
The group was about to leave when they saw someone entangled in the corner of the palace gate.
Qin Zhen stared at it twice and recognized that this person was Tang Zong, the Minister of Household Affairs who had previously asked the emperor for marriage in the main hall.
This man was kicked out of the palace by the emperor, but he did not go home. Instead, he struggled at the palace gate, clamoring to see His Majesty, saying that he did not know what he had done wrong, and asked Your Majesty to clarify.
Qin Zhen looked at it for a while and couldn't help but sigh: "With his brain, how did he become the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue?"
Lou Yan looked at that man, his eyes already bursting with murderous intent.
Dare you ask to marry Qin Zhen? You are overestimating your capabilities.
Lou Yan turned around and started to walk that way. Judging from his posture, he looked like he was going to kill people and silence them.
Qin Zhen was startled and quickly pulled the man's sleeve and asked: "What do you want to do?"
Lou Yan had no expression on his face: "Let him retreat when he sees the difficulty."
"Your Majesty has already refused. This matter cannot be done." Qin Zhen said.
Lou Yan said, "I don't like others coveting you."
Qin Zhen: "..."
Qin Zhen coughed lightly, really afraid that Lou Yan would run over and kill the Minister of the Ministry of Finance without knowing the seriousness of the matter.
She pulled Lou Yan back, pushed him to Linglong, and said, "Take your master back to rest."
Lou Yan frowned, as if he wanted to resist.
Qin Zhen pointed at him and said, "I'm going to tell him, you are not allowed to follow."
Lou Yan: "..."
Linglong whispered to Lou Yan: "Your Highness, please be obedient and don't make the princess angry."
Lou Yan's eyes moved slightly, and finally he retracted his foot to follow.
Qin Zhen doesn't accept him at all now. If he does something wrong again, Qin Zhen may really not give him a chance.
