Lou Yan planned to go back to his house, change his clothes, and then go to the Qin Mansion to find Qin Zhen.
He couldn't make it to spend New Year's Eve with Qin Zhen, but he wanted to spend the first day of the New Year with Qin Zhen.
He looked back at Linglong and said, "You can go back."
Linglong agreed, but stood still. Lou Yan ignored her, opened the door and walked in.
As he walked inside, he raised his hands and took off his clothes. After several days of traveling, the clothes on his body were already covered with dust.
When he entered the inner room, he only took off his middle coat.
He opened his wardrobe and carefully selected the clothes he wanted to wear, but after taking out a piece of clothing, he suddenly froze in place.
Something...isn't right in the house.
He was just too tired, and because he had relaxed his vigilance after returning home, he didn't even notice anything was wrong for a while.
There is someone in his house.
Lou Yan suddenly turned around and looked around, and his eyes finally fell on his bed.
I saw a small bulge on his bed, and the quilt was pulled up to the pillow, covering the things inside tightly.
In an instant, Lou Yan lost his breath and his heart beat like a drum.
Linglong and Manman were in the yard outside... There was no way Linglong would let anyone else sleep in his bed.
Unless...this is no one else, this is Qin Zhen.
The clothes he was holding fell to the ground unconsciously. His eyes were fixed on the hill, and his eyes were filled with red bloodshot eyes after staying up all night.
A full quarter of an hour passed before Lou Yan regained his breath.
He walked lightly towards the bed, then bent down, grabbed a corner of the quilt, and pulled it down bit by bit.
First the messy hair, then the full forehead, and then the pair of closed eyes... This is Qin Zhen, this is the Qin Zhen he has been thinking about for two years.
Two years, more than seven hundred days and nights... At this moment, the person he was thinking about was lying on his bed.
Lou Yan's legs went weak, and he knelt down beside the bed, tightly clutching the corners of the quilt, and murmured: "You really... are going to kill me."
Only by suppressing the restlessness in his heart could he maintain his superficial calm and not turn into a wolf and pounce on Qin Zhen.
He was taking a deep breath to suppress the restlessness in his heart, when suddenly there was a slight movement in his ears, and Lou Yan suddenly raised his head to look.
But I saw that the person on the bed was extremely pale, with large beads of cold sweat rolling down his forehead. Although his eyes were closed, he was sleeping very unsteadily, as if he had fallen into some nightmare.
Just now, what he heard was this man murmuring in his sleep, as if he was crying in pain or crying.
This is not the first time Lou Yan has seen Qin Zhen like this.
Qin Zhen is ill.
For a moment, Lou Yan felt no restlessness in his heart. His heart seemed to be grasped by a big invisible hand, and it hurt so much that he almost couldn't breathe.
Without caring about anything else, Lou Yan quickly stood up and sat on the bedside, hugged the person directly, pulled the quilt and wrapped the person tightly.
"It's okay, it's okay..." Lou Yan hugged the person tightly and comforted softly, "As long as I'm here, no one can hurt you. Zhen Zhen, Qin Zhen, can you hear me..."
He kept whispering in her ear, trying to bring her back from the nightmare.
I don’t know how long it took, but Qin Zhen suddenly made some noise.
She struggled and raised her hand to grab randomly, and finally grabbed a strand of Lou Yan's hair, and then stopped moving.
Lou Yan: "..."
He turned his head slightly, glanced at Qin Zhen holding a handful of hair tightly, smiled bitterly, and whispered: "You are really good at picking..."
However, Qin Zhen slowly calmed down as if she had caught some amulet.
Her breathing calmed down, she no longer cried out in cold sweat, or murmured in sleep, and finally fell asleep peacefully.
Lou Yan hugged and coaxed the person for a while, then took out a dagger from his boots and cut off a strand of hair held by Qin Zhen, then turned around and placed the person on the bed.
After this tossing, when I looked up again, it was already dawn.
Lou Yan, wearing a Chinese coat, stood up and opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, a cold wind blew over, and Lou Yan couldn't help but shiver. Only then did he realize that it was actually snowing outside.
He didn't feel cold either, so he just stood there.
In the yard, Linglong and Manman were both kneeling, not daring to raise their heads.
After a while, Lou Yan finally spoke: "Tell me what's going on."
Linglong said softly: "In the early hours of last night, the princess who originally said she was going home suddenly came to visit. She didn't go to live in her own house, but said she wanted to stay in the prince's room, so I brought her here. It's my fault, it's my slave
If you make your own decision, please ask the prince to punish you."
Lou Yan: "You know that's not what I asked."
Just as Linglong thought, he didn't even have time to beg Qin Zhen to stay in his house, so how could he be angry?
Qin Zhen was willing to take the initiative to stay, but it was too late for him to run around happily.
If there is no illness.
Linglong reached out and touched Manman beside her, gesturing to the rest of her to speak.
Manman has always been afraid of Lou Yan, but now he is even more afraid. His voice sounded like a mosquito: "After the New Year's Eve banquet last night, the princess was going back to the palace. She suddenly fell ill on the way and changed her route to the palace."
"Suddenly falling ill?" Lou Yan said with a cold face, "How could he suddenly fall ill?"
He walked down a step and asked in a deep voice: "Who did she meet at the banquet and what did she say?"
Manman was almost frightened to tears, and choked with sobs, she said: "During the banquet, the princess was always in her seat. Apart from a few words with His Majesty, she never had any contact with anyone throughout the night."
Lou Yan frowned: "Seriously not?"
Man Man shook his head and suddenly said: "By the way, after the New Year's Eve banquet, the prince stopped the princess at the gate of the palace as she was about to leave. He had something to say to the princess. When the princess came back, it could be seen that she was a little unhappy.
Happy. Other than that, there is really nothing else.”
Lou Yan: "...It really has something to do with him."
He had figured out a long time ago that Qin Zhen would fall ill only after coming into contact with the prince.
Lou Yan closed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Go down."
He turned around, turned around and entered the door again, slamming the door shut.
As soon as he left, the two maids in the yard breathed a huge sigh of relief.
Linglong turned around and saw that Manman's face was red from crying and her hands were still shaking.
Linglong was stunned and asked: "What about you...? The prince will not eat you either."
Manman said in a trembling voice: "You, don't you think the prince is scary?"
Linglong: “I’ve never seen you so exaggerated before.”
Manman couldn't hold back his tears: "That was before!"
Linglong was silent for a moment, and then she also shuddered and said softly: "I don't blame you for being so scared... Your Majesty came back this time with even greater momentum than before."
She thought, someone who had rolled through a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood could seem to smell the blood on his body from a few meters away. No wonder Manman was afraid.
