Lou Yan also accepted Qin Zhen's magnanimity calmly.
He leaned down slightly so that Qin Zhen's hands could hold him. But his hands were on Qin Zhen's sides, keeping a subtle distance between the two.
Lou Yan looked down at Qin Zhen, couldn't help but lower his head and kissed Qin Zhen's lips several times, then raised his head again, looked at the person and asked softly: "Zhen Zhen, are you sure?"
Qin Zhen was stunned for a moment, then felt helpless: "Are you sure? At this point, you still want to ask me if I am sure?"
If she wasn't sure, she wouldn't have nodded, let alone this wedding.
Lou Yan smiled and said softly: "I'm not questioning your feelings for me, I'm just..."
Before he finished speaking, a knock on the door suddenly sounded, instantly interrupting the conversation between the two.
The two of them turned to look at the door at the same time, remaining silent.
The knocks on the door became more and more urgent, and it was obvious that the person outside the door was gradually losing patience.
Lou Yan slowly turned around and looked at Qin Zhen.
There was no surprise in the eyes of the two of them, and they were both extremely calm.
Lou Yan was silent for a while, then turned over and sat up from the bed, raised his hand and pulled off the coat on the screen and quickly put it on himself.
Qin Zhen lay on the bed for a while and then sat up.
She watched in silence as Lou Yan dressed and tied his hair. When he was about to leave, Qin Zhen finally spoke.
"I'm sorry!" Qin Zhen stared at the back and said three words.
Lou Yan stood there without looking back or saying a word.
Qin Zhen moved her lips and asked softly: "Do you... still want me?"
Lou Yan remained silent.
Qin Zhen couldn't hear his answer, then she chuckled and said, "Okay, I will leave before you come back. When everything is settled, you can send someone to deliver a letter of divorce..."
"Don't even think about it!" Lou Yan gritted his teeth and interrupted Qin Zhen.
He suddenly turned around and strode towards Qin Zhen. Without saying a word, he kissed her fiercely.
This kiss lacked the tenderness and lingering of his past, and contained a cruel intention to die with Qin Zhen.
In just a moment, Qin Zhen tasted blood.
After a while, Lou Yan backed away slightly.
The lips of both of them were stained with blood.
Lou Yan licked the blood on the corner of his lips, stared at Qin Zhen, and said word by word: "You are not allowed to go anywhere."
"You are the princess whom I, Lou Yanming, are marrying. You are today, tomorrow, and for the rest of your life. As for the divorce letter, unless I die, you will never get it in your life."
"Before I come back, stay here honestly!"
This is the first time he has been so strong in front of Qin Zhen.
After saying that, Lou Yan turned around and walked out of the room.
Qin Zhen heard him shouting: "Stay at the door. Without my order, the princess is not allowed to step out of the room."
When Qin Zhen heard the sound of footsteps disappearing, she covered her eyes and lay back down again.
"Brother is right, you can't afford to offend me..."
Although she said this, there was no trace of fear in her tone, and there was even a bit of expectation.
———
Royal Palace.
Xiao Chengye finished approving the last memorial and raised his hand to rub his sore shoulders.
He raised his head, looked at Qin Hong who was standing beside him, and couldn't help but said: "Today is Zhen Zhen's wedding day, and you won't go back even if I ask you to, but now you are staring with a pair of big eyes and tensed up.
What, you regret it?"
Qin Hong had a knife hanging on his waist and stood beside the emperor with a tense expression.
Maybe he was too serious, and even the emperor noticed something was wrong with him.
Qin Hong was silent for a moment, then forced out a smile and said: "Zhenzhen is my only daughter. I naturally regret not going back to get her married. But compared with these, protecting your majesty's safety is more important."
Xiao Chengye pointed at him: "There are tens of thousands of forbidden troops in the palace. Without you, no one will protect my safety?"
Qin Hong smiled: "But among these people, I am the most powerful."
Xiao Chengye was amused by him and said: "Okay, okay, you are the best."
He stretched, stood up and walked out.
Gao Cheng followed beside him and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, are you going to the harem?"
Xiao Chengye said calmly: "It's so late, where are you going to the harem?"
Since Lou Shulan's death, Xiao Chengye rarely went to the harem and spent most of his time sleeping in the side hall next to the Qinzheng Hall.
After hearing this, Gao Cheng quickly ordered people to make arrangements.
The group of people came out of the Qinzheng Hall, and when they looked up, they saw a person standing outside the Qinzheng Hall.
At night, the lights were dim, and this man was wearing all black, standing there quietly. When he saw him at first sight, his heart skipped a beat.
When Xiao Chengye saw the person clearly, he frowned and said sternly: "Prince? What are you doing standing here?"
When Xiao Jue saw that Xiao Chengye recognized him, he took two steps forward and said, "My son, I have met my father."
Xiao Chengye frowned: "It's so late, what are you doing here?"
Xiao Jue smiled and said, "There is something very important to Erchen, but it requires your father's approval."
Xiao Chengye was impatient: "Let's talk about it tomorrow. It's too late now. Let's go back."
Having said that, he was leaving.
Xiao Jue said lightly: "I can't wait until tomorrow."
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Chengye felt something was wrong keenly.
Qin Hong, on the other hand, had already taken a step forward and stood beside Xiao Chengye. From this distance, he could protect Xiao Chengye in time if there was any trouble.
Gao Cheng's legs were a little weak, but he still stood in front of the emperor tremblingly.
Xiao Chengye looked at Xiao Jue intently for a long time, and finally asked: "What do you want?"
Xiao Jue smiled and said, "I don't want much, I only have two items. I hope my father will allow me."
Xiao Chengye's eyes had completely turned cold: "Which two?"
"The first thing," Xiao Jue looked at Qin Hong standing aside, and then said calmly, "I want Qin Zhen to be my crown princess."
Xiao Chengye said sternly: "She is now your third brother's woman. If a brother seizes his brother's wife, are you still a human being?"
"Qin Zhen was mine!" Xiao Jue's smile disappeared and he said with red eyes, "He was the one who took away my woman!"
Xiao Chengye took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "If you are not awake now, I will not care about you. Go back to the East Palace and come back to talk to me when you wake up."
For the sake of the relationship between father and son, he stepped down for Xiao Jue.
If it were normal, Xiao Jue would not dare to make a mistake, but now, he stood where he was without moving a step.
"Father, I have one more thing I haven't said yet."
Xiao Chengye said nothing.
Xiao Jue took a step forward, lifted his robe, knelt down, looked up at Xiao Chengye, and said: "My father ascended the throne when he was young and has worked hard for the country for many years. It is time for him to have a good rest. My son and minister are not talented, so I am willing to share my father's worries."
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Chengye took a deep breath.
Gao Cheng also turned pale with fright, and couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, please don't talk nonsense. Your Majesty is in the prime of life and does not need to cultivate. Your Highness, please go back quickly."
Xiao Jue frowned: "I'm talking to my father, how can you, an eunuch, interrupt me?"
