Qin Zhen didn't feel that she had become aggressive. She was just too tired to make concessions because she was physically and mentally exhausted.
Xiao Yao was ridiculed but was not angry. He just asked: "Are you really planning to marry him?"
Qin Zhen looked at Xiao Yao for a long time and suddenly said: "Do you want me to marry him?"
Xiao Yao paused, then smiled and said: "What you said...it's your business whether to marry or not. What does it have to do with me?"
"Is it really okay?" Qin Zhen looked at Xiao Yao and said slowly, "You really don't mind that the entire Royal Forest Army falls into the hands of the prince, and the entire palace is controlled by the prince?"
Xiao Yao narrowed his eyes and said nothing.
Qin Zhen said again: "You always say that the prince is devoted to me. Do you think he is really devoted to me, or is he devoted to the imperial guards behind me?"
Xiao Yao was silent for a while, then stopped and said, "Okay, what are you talking about?"
"I just want to tell you that I don't want to marry him." Qin Zhen lowered her eyes, her tone a little aggrieved, "But he is the prince, how can I dare to offend him? I can only try my best to deal with it and delay time."
Xiao Yao frowned and opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
Qin Zhen seemed to just sigh casually, not wanting to get Xiao Yao's response.
She raised her head and said to Xiao Yao: "Your Highness, Fourth Prince, please go to the banquet hall. This backyard is not the place where you should stay."
Xiao Yao looked at her deeply, turned around and left while carrying the wine bottle.
After the people left, Manman hurriedly came up to them and muttered: "Did they agree on this? We came together as soon as we said we would."
Qin Zhen frowned, turned around and walked into the house.
Manman: "Princess, are you not going to the front?"
Qin Zhen said: "There is Qin Yi in front of me. I have done everything I should do, and I will leave the rest to him."
Manman pouted and followed Qin Zhen back.
As soon as I walked into the yard, I saw an extra person in the yard, and I don't know how long they have been waiting.
Qin Zhen was a little surprised: "Linglong?"
Linglong turned around and saluted Qin Zhen with a smile: "I have met the princess."
"No need to be polite," Qin Zhen walked over quickly and asked, "Why are you here?"
Linglong smiled and said, "Today is Mr. Qin's wedding. His Highness has specially prepared a congratulatory gift and ordered your servant to deliver it."
Qin Zhen was stunned for a moment, as if she had lost the ability to think in an instant.
This was the first time she heard news about Lou Yan since Lou Yan left.
In the past six months, she had never heard a word about Lou Yan.
Perhaps she had been silent for too long, so Linglong tentatively called out: "Princess?"
"Ah?" Qin Zhen suddenly came back to her senses and looked at Linglong again, "What?"
exquisite:"……"
Linglong smiled and said, "My Highness has prepared a gift for Mr. Qin and specially ordered my servant to deliver it."
Qin Zhen paused and said, "Since it is a congratulatory gift from Mr. Qin, just give it to him. Why should you let it go through my hands?"
The smile on Linglong's face paused, and then she said: "I didn't want to go there at the moment..."
Qin Zhen rubbed her eyebrows and said, "Forget it, where are the gifts?"
Linglong quickly ordered people to carry several large boxes.
When she opened the box and took a look, the golden light inside almost blinded Qin Zhen.
There are several large boxes, all filled with gold, silver and jade. Not to mention how rare they are, they are simply valuable.
Qin Zhen: "..."
When did Lou Yan become such a nouveau riche?
Linglong couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth when she saw those gold and silverware.
In fact, His Highness had no intention at all and just wanted the gift to be valuable.
Qin Zhen rubbed her eyes and ordered people to carry those large boxes to Qin Yi's yard and hand them over to Qin Yi for disposal.
When she turned around after the arrangements were made, Linglong was still standing where she was.
Qin Zhen raised her eyebrows: "Is something wrong?"
"Yes," Linglong smiled, carefully took out a small wooden box from her arms and handed it to Qin Zhen, saying, "This is for the princess."
Qin Zhen's heart beat a little faster and asked: "He gave it to me?"
Linglong nodded: "His Royal Highness specially ordered someone to send it back from southern Xinjiang, and told the slaves to hand it over to the princess with their own hands."
Qin Zhen looked at the small wooden box in silence for a while, then reached out to take it and said, "Okay, I'll take it."
Linglong breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that Qin Zhen wouldn't accept it.
After the things were delivered, Linglong took the people and left the Qin Mansion.
Qin Zhen returned to the house, playing with the small wooden box in her hand but not opening it.
Manman's gaze always drifted towards the small wooden box. Qin Zhen noticed it and asked her directly: "I'm curious about what's inside? If not, why don't you open it for me?"
Manman shook his head crazily, then turned around and ran away, not appearing for a while.
Qin Zhen laughed and muttered: "Why are you so ungrateful?"
When the surroundings became quiet, Qin Zhen began to stare at the small wooden box in trance.
In the end, Qin Zhen did not open the small wooden box, but stuffed it under the pillow and ignored it.
I don’t know if it’s because I thought about it day by day and dreamed about it at night. I received Lou Yan’s gift during the day and dreamed about Lou Yan at night.
She dreamed that he was running wildly in a sandy field, with an arrow flying through his chest, and his clothes were dyed red with blood...
Qin Zhen woke up suddenly.
Manman heard the commotion, came in with a lantern, and asked: "Princess, are you having a nightmare?"
The princess used to have nightmares a lot, but she has gotten better recently. She hasn't had nightmares for a long time.
Qin Zhen looked at Manman and suddenly realized that she was already breaking out in a cold sweat.
Her Adam's apple rolled up and down, and she suddenly asked: "Where is my handheld?"
Manman was stunned for a moment and said: "Hold your hands outside, Princess, you..."
"Bring it here!" Qin Zhen's tone was almost urgent.
Manman didn't dare to ask any more questions and quickly handed the handheld device on the bedside table to Qin Zhen.
Qin Zhen took it, played with the Bodhi tree with her fingers, and whispered the Buddha's name.
Manman: "..."
She retreated silently, leaving only a lamp behind.
Qin Zhen held it for a long time before her wildly beating heart gradually calmed down.
She stopped slowly, turned her head and looked under her pillow for a moment, then suddenly reached out and took out the small wooden box.
She stared at the small wooden box twice, and finally opened the small wooden box.
Inside the small wooden box, there is a wolf tooth.
The wolf tooth has been polished smooth, with a hole on the top and tied with a red rope.
Qin Zhen stared at the wolf tooth for a moment, and she seemed to be able to imagine Lou Yan lowering his head and polishing the wolf tooth...
After watching for a long time, Qin Zhen raised her hand to pick up the wolf fang and hung it around her neck. She muttered, "You can't think of giving such a violent thing to a girl."
After a pause, he added: "However, I heard that wolf fangs can ward off evil spirits, but I don't know if that's true."
She holds a rosary in one hand and a wolf fang in the other, which is extremely contradictory.
But she suddenly didn't realize it.
Until she fell asleep, Qin Zhen still held these two things in her hands and never let go.
