When Lou Yan came home, it was already early in the morning.
It was very quiet in the palace, except for the sound of Lou Yan's footsteps.
In front of him, Linglong held a lantern to lead the way.
"Is she asleep?" Lou Yan asked.
Linglong whispered: "The princess has been waiting for you for a while, but in the end she was too sleepy, so she couldn't help but fall asleep first."
A smile appeared on Lou Yan's lips, and his heart was filled to the brim.
He is also someone who is waiting for him.
However, he said: "She is not in good health. If this happens again in the future, remind her to go to bed early and don't have to wait for me."
Linglong responded in a low voice, but thought in her heart that even if she reminded her, it wouldn't work.
Princess Anshun has never been a well-behaved and obedient girl.
When the two of them entered the yard, they saw Manman leaning against the door, his head moving little by little.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Manman woke up with a start. When he saw Lou Yan, he was so frightened that he suddenly woke up.
"king……"
"Shh!" Lou Yan raised his hand to signal her to silence, and lowered his voice and asked: "Is the princess asleep?"
Manman nodded repeatedly: Go to sleep.
Lou Yan tilted his head, a little confused: "Why is the light still on?"
Manman said cautiously: "The princess said that the lamp was left for the prince."
Lou Yan: "..."
For a moment, his heart was out of control and trembled violently.
He suddenly laughed.
Looking at the lights in the house, one word slowly emerged in Lou Yan's mind: home.
Qin Zhen's existence allowed him to have a family again.
When he goes out, someone is waiting for him. When he comes home late, someone leaves a light for him.
That's all he wants.
Lou Yan looked at Manman and Linglong and said, "Go down, you don't need to wait here."
Manman ran away without saying a word. She was very afraid of facing Lou Yan.
Linglong hesitated for a moment, pointed at Lou Yan's neck, and asked tentatively: "Prince, your injury...does it need to be treated?"
Lou Yan raised his hand and touched his neck, was silent for a moment, and then said, "No need."
After saying that, he opened the door and entered the house.
When he entered the room, he first walked to the bed and took a look. He couldn't help but smile when he saw Qin Zhen sleeping peacefully holding his own pillow.
After looking at it for a few times, I went outside again to change and enter the house.
He rolled over on the bed without waking Qin Zhen. But Qin Zhen, like a puppy that smelled meat and bones, moved closer to Lou Yan and got into his arms familiarly.
, I found a comfortable position, closed my eyes and continued to sleep soundly.
Lou Yan looked at the person getting into his arms, his heart softened, he raised his arms and hugged the person and fell asleep.
———
When Qin Zhen woke up, Lou Yan still had his eyes closed and was sleeping deeply.
After she understood the current situation, she continued to stay in Lou Yan's arms with peace of mind.
She raised her head to look at Lou Yan, wanting to see him sleeping, but she saw the circle of bruises on Lou Yan's neck.
As the night passed, the bruises became more and more serious, which was shocking to see.
You can almost clearly see the person's thumbprint, which means it was pinched by someone at first glance.
Qin Zhen was still a little confused at first, but now she suddenly woke up.
She suddenly got out of Lou Yan's arms and lowered her head to check the scars on Lou Yan's neck.
Lou Yan was awakened by her movement, opened his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"
"What's wrong? I should ask you this!"
Qin Zhen stretched out her hand to pull Lou Yan up from the bed, pointed at the circle of bruises around his neck, and asked in a deep voice: "What's going on?"
Lou Yan seemed to have just remembered that he was injured. He raised his hand to hold his neck and said, "It's okay."
"You call this okay?" Qin Zhen stared, really a little angry.
Lou Yan, however, looked relaxed and said: "It's really nothing, just a little injury, not even the flesh. When we were on the battlefield in southern Xinjiang, there were many more serious injuries than this."
These words simply poked Qin Zhen in the heart.
Qin Zhen's eyes were a little red, but she didn't continue talking nonsense to Lou Yan.
She got out of bed in silence, opened the door and said to Linglong who was guarding outside: "Go and call Doctor Murong over."
Linglong had seen Lou Yan's injury, and immediately knew why, and turned to invite Murong Yan.
Manman, on the other hand, looked confused: "Princess, are you feeling unwell?"
Qin Zhen: "No."
She turned back to the house and began to wash and change clothes.
Lou Yan followed her step by step. Whatever she did, Lou Yan would do it.
Lou Yan would say a few words to her from time to time, but no matter what he said, Qin Zhen never replied to him.
Even the dull Manman could see it, they seemed to have had a quarrel, and the princess unilaterally ignored the prince.
Manman shrank his neck, not daring to say a word, trying to reduce his presence as much as possible.
As soon as breakfast was served, Murong Yan came.
Qin Zhen's attitude toward Murong Yan became much better, and she pointed at Lou Yan's neck: "Show him."
Murong Yan glanced at it and then said: "It's okay, just a minor injury."
After a pause, he then said: "However, Your Majesty, you'd better be careful in the future. Judging from these marks, the person who hurt you must have been cruel to kill you. If you use more force, your throat will be injured. By then,
I’m really speechless.”
Lou Yan quickly glanced at Qin Zhen, and then glared at Murong Yan: I really thank you, adding fuel to the fire.
As expected, Qin Zhen sneered after hearing those words and said, "Isn't that right? Don't others call him a mute? He happens to be a real mute."
Lou Yan: "..."
Murong Yan looked at Lou Yan, then at Qin Zhen, and realized something was wrong.
She prescribed the medicine and asked Lou Yan to apply it externally, and then said to Qin Zhen as if to make up for it: "Don't worry, Princess, the prince's injury is really not serious."
Qin Zhen laughed and said: "Of course, compared to the injuries he suffered in southern Xinjiang, this is nothing. This is still eight thousand miles away from death, so it can't hurt him."
Lou Yan: "..."
Murong Yan, thank you, can you shut up?
The corners of Murong Yan's mouth twitched, but in the end she said nothing, picked up her small medicine box and ran away.
There were only two people left in the room.
Lou Yan shamelessly approached and whispered: "Zhen Zhen, are you angry?"
Qin Zhen ignored him and continued to eat alone.
Lou Yan was helpless and said softly: "Don't be angry, I was wrong, okay?"
Qin Zhen swallowed a mouthful of rice and felt her throat was clogged, unable to take another bite.
She slapped her chopsticks on the table and turned to look at Lou Yan: "Where did you go wrong?"
Lou Yan: "I, where did I go wrong?"
He looked at Qin Zhen's face, his mind was spinning rapidly, and he said cautiously: "I've done everything wrong, please don't be angry, okay?"
Qin Zhen is even more angry!
"You have no idea where you went wrong!"
Seeing that she was really anxious, Lou Yan immediately said: "I know, I shouldn't have let myself get hurt. I really know that I was wrong. I promise that I won't get hurt easily in the future. Don't be angry, don't be angry, don't get so angry!"
