Qin Zhen didn't know how long she slept. When she opened her eyes again, she saw that the lights were on in the room and it was pitch black outside.
She felt a little dazed, thinking that she hadn't slept for long and it was still dark.
She sat up, tilted her head and looked at the place next to her, but it was empty.
There was a moment of loss in her heart, and she always felt that there should be someone here.
She lowered her head and looked at herself, only to find that she had taken a shower and changed into clean clothes, and the wound on her neck had been bandaged with medicine.
Then, her stomach growled twice, and she felt hungry for a moment.
She was about to get up and find something to eat when she heard the door being pushed open and someone walking in.
As soon as she raised her head, she met Lou Yan's gaze.
Lou Yan glanced at her first, then walked over and asked, "Are you awake?"
Qin Zhen: "...Hmm."
Lou Yan put down the tray in his hand, picked up a bowl of porridge, and said, "Are you hungry? Eat something first."
Qin Zhen always felt that Lou Yan was a little weird, but now that her eyes were so hungry that she couldn't care anymore, she ate the whole bowl of porridge with Lou Yan's hand.
After eating, she felt like she was alive.
She watched Lou Yan put down the bowl and whispered: "Um, I..."
"Xiao Jue has been captured and is now being held in Dali Temple, waiting for the emperor to be punished. I have also summoned the Qin family for the news that you are fine, so you don't have to worry."
Lou Yan looked at her quietly: "Is there anything else you want to ask?"
Qin Zhen opened her mouth and said after a while: "Um...how long have I slept? How about you, did you have a good rest?"
She was just making a random excuse, but she heard Lou Yan say calmly: "It's the night of the second day."
Qin Zhen: "..."
She actually slept all day and all night.
Lou Yan saw Qin Zhen's eyes widen in surprise, and a smile quickly flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by indifference.
He reached out and picked up the tray, turned around and walked out.
Qin Zhen looked at his back and felt a little panicked.
Lou Yan shouldn't have this attitude.
Why did he seem so indifferent to me when I woke up?
Qin Zhen felt uneasy, wondering if he was still angry with her?
Without thinking, Qin Zhen reached out and grabbed Lou Yan's sleeve to stop him from leaving. She raised her head and asked, "Are you still angry with me?"
Lou Yan was silent for a moment, and then said: "What can I be angry about? Princess Anshun is so capable, she has tricked everyone and arranged everything, so what else can I be angry about?"
Qin Zhen: "..."
Sure enough, he was angry.
Qin Zhen was a little confused and didn't know how to coax her.
She had never felt that she was not good at words, but at this moment she felt that she was clumsy and didn't even know how to say coaxing words.
She thought inappropriately of Qin Yi, who coaxed the fifth princess into submission with his sweet words.
I really want to borrow my elder brother’s mouth.
Lou Yan waited for a long time but did not see Qin Zhen say a word. He was not very angry at first, but now he became angry all of a sudden.
He pulled his sleeves out of Qin Zhen's hands and raised his legs to walk out.
Qin Zhen finally found her voice and said, "Well... I'm sorry."
Lou Yan stopped and said nothing.
Qin Zhen added: "I didn't mean to plot against you, I just..."
What happened next was a bit hard for her to say.
Lou Yan continued what she said: "You just can't believe me and think I might still side with the prince. You hid this matter from me and didn't reveal it at all, but you also gave me a choice.
."
Lou Yan turned back to look at Qin Zhen and said slowly: "If I stand firmly by your side in this incident, nothing will change. But if I still stand by Xiao Jue's side as before,
Over there, then you will never look at me again in this life, right?"
Qin Zhen: "..."
Lou Yan smiled and said, "You didn't plot against me. After all, no matter what I choose, I won't lose anything. You didn't intend to hurt me. You just... don't trust me."
There was some emotion in Lou Yan's tone.
Qin Zhen heard it and understood that this was normal.
She raised her hand to rub her eyebrows, and finally raised her head and said to Lou Yan: "There are many things that I don't know how to explain to you. Even if I explain them to you, you might not believe them."
After all, no one would believe such a ridiculous thing as rebirth.
"But, I promise you, this is the last time." Qin Zhen said very solemnly, "From now on, I will not hide anything or distrust you."
Lou Yan looked at Qin Zhen intently, and finally whispered: "I don't even know when you are telling the truth and when you are telling lies..."
A shrewd person like Xiao Jue was played around by Qin Zhen. The most important thing was that for a long time, he thought Qin Zhen was really in love with Xiao Jue.
Qin Zhen's heart hurt when she heard Lou Yan's words.
She lifted the quilt and stood up, walked slowly to Lou Yan, looked into his eyes, and said word for word: "I, Qin Zhen, swear that from today on, every word I say to you is true.
"
After saying that, she looked at Lou Yan and asked, "Are you willing to believe me again?"
The ends of Lou Yan's eyes turned slightly red.
He originally thought of punishing Qin Zhen to let her know the seriousness of the matter.
But seeing her like this, Lou Yan couldn't bear it.
She had already apologized to herself, what else could she do?
She swore to heaven that she would never lie to herself again. Isn't that enough?
She was kidnapped and frightened. Now that she finally came back, her wounds were not healed yet, but she came to comfort herself. Isn't it enough?
As Lou Yan thought about it, he felt that he had gone a little too far.
Why force her like this?
As long as she has herself in her heart, that's enough.
Therefore, people are all greedy. Once he realizes Qin Zhen's preference for him, he will uncontrollably want to ask for more.
Qin Zhen is right, she should read the book of sages again.
Facing Qin Zhen, Lou Yan finally couldn't pretend anymore.
He put the tray in his hand on the shelf next to him, reached out and took Qin Zhen into his arms.
"I believe you," Lou Yan hugged him tightly and said slowly, "These are enough."
He can ignore the grudge between Qin Zhen and Xiao Jue, and he can forgive her distrust... As long as Qin Zhen gives him love and sincerity, he will not care about anything.
For him, these two things are enough.
Qin Zhen hugged him back, touched his back, and asked softly: "Are you not angry anymore?"
Lou Yan was silent for a while, but in the end he was still unwilling to give in.
He rubbed his head against Qin Zhen's neck and said in a muffled voice: "But you ruined my wedding night, which I have been looking forward to for a long time."
