Lu Yunchu felt that Wen Zhan was not completely sober yet, otherwise why would he be so clingy with the drunkard? It really gave her an experience of the ultimate in intimacy.
Wen Zhan was a very reserved person, and he used to hold back on expressing his emotions, but today, it seemed as if he had let out all the spoiled energy in his life, pestering her over and over again, insisting on making her feel the same as if she were drunk.
Lu Yunchu held his chin and said weakly: "What's wrong with you?" As if he had lost face because of being drunk, Wen Zhan's soft belly was completely exposed. He no longer pretended and just did whatever he wanted. There was no way out anyway.
Wen Zhan didn't write anything either. He just stared at her with a happy face, and then came up to her and kissed her.
Lu Yunchu didn't have the energy to laugh with him, and said helplessly: "I think you are really still drunk."
Wen Zhan shook his head and stroked her hair, letting their hair fall together, wishing they could tangle them together.
Lu Yunchu really had no idea what was going on in his mind. He shook his head and prepared to go to sleep.
But Wen Zhan's gaze was so strong that no one could sleep peacefully under such stare.
So Lu Yunchu opened his eyes and met Wen Zhan's gaze: "Do you have any advice?"
Wen Zhan shook his head at first, but then he couldn't help but lowered his head, took her hand and wrote on her palm: You are so good to me.
Lu Yunchu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't have the energy to deal with him and just made a "hmm" sound through his nose.
She was about to close her eyes and go to sleep, but Wen Zhan couldn't help but shook her wrist.
Lu Yunchu turned his head and looked at him in confusion.
His eyes began to wander, his porcelain-white skin showed a faint pink, and he gently wrote on her palm: Don't you want to bully me
The more domineering Lu Yunchu was when she threatened, the faster she got slapped in the face. But this was about her dignity, so she said stubbornly, "Didn't I bully you for a while?" Well, the first half barely counts.
Wen Zhan seemed to recall something, the pink on his cheeks gradually dyed his eyebrows and eyes red. He hesitated for a moment and wrote on her palm: Is this the case
Lu Yunchu gritted his teeth: "What else?"
Wen Zhan stopped talking and held up his head to think seriously.
He must have slept all afternoon this afternoon and was full of energy, while I didn't get enough rest, so I was so weak, that's for sure. She said, "Humph, I won't show mercy next time I come here."
Wen Zhan actually believed it. This sentence seemed to have hit him hard. His eyebrows became soft and curved, which was particularly beautiful. However, the words he wrote were particularly infuriating: It turns out that you showed mercy to me the last few times.
Lu Yunchu choked and said, "Of course. Well, you frowned and your eyes were red. It looked like you were about to cry. Of course I gave in to you."
Wen Zhan lowered his eyes embarrassedly, his eyelashes trembling. He wanted to explain that he didn't cry, but he felt it was unnecessary.
He came closer without holding back. Lu Yunchu felt something strange and carefully felt the wrinkles beside his legs. He immediately started sweating: "I'm really sleepy..."
Wen Zhan quickly moved away and looked away embarrassedly. He didn't mean it that way, he just couldn't control himself.
Lu Yunchu complained: "I'm all sweaty, but I don't have the energy to wash it."
Wen Zhan was stunned for a moment, touched her head guiltily, then got up, put on his clothes and boiled water. After a while, when the bath soup was ready, he walked over quietly and kissed Lu Yunchu on the forehead.
Lu Yunchu snorted lazily, and Wen Zhan picked her up and carried her sideways to help her bathe.
Seeing that she was sleepy and dazed, Wen Zhan was very careful and treated her like a porcelain doll, fearing that he would disturb her sleepiness. After washing her carefully, he carried her to bed, put her on, and covered her with a quilt to let her sleep.
Wen Zhan switched to male mother status very quickly, and Lu Yunchu became even more sleepy due to his gentle cleaning movements, and fell asleep in a short while.
Maybe because she was in a hurry and stayed in the carriage all day, she hadn't exercised for too long, so Lu Yunchu felt a little sore, and she blamed it on Wen Zhan. Wen Zhan felt so guilty that he wanted to serve her like a person without hands and feet, and he had to carry her when getting in and out of the carriage. It was really unbearable to watch.
Only when they were about to reach Chang'an city did the two men finally stop.
The closer to Chang'an, the more prosperous it became. Lu Yunchu remembered that he had wandered here in his previous life and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
She decided not to stay here and asked someone to inquire whether the road to Taiyuan Prefecture was safe. If it was safe, she would set off immediately.
The captain of the guards used Wen Jue's connections and quickly found out the news, but he looked a little strange when he came out.
Lu Yunchu asked: "What happened?"
The chief guard hesitated for a moment and said, "I heard that the master is also here."
Lu Yunchu was stunned for a moment before she realized that her master was Wen Jue. She immediately got into the carriage and said, "Why are you so unlucky? Hurry, let's get going now."
As soon as it reached the city gate, the carriage stopped.
Lu Yunchu, who was sitting in the carriage, felt a jolt in his heart, and sure enough, the next moment he heard the sound of the guards saluting.
Wen Jue was also quite surprised. He rode closer and lifted the carriage curtain: "Lu Yunchu?"
Lu Yunchu covered his forehead helplessly.
Wen Zhan nodded to Wen Jue, which counted as a greeting.
Wen Jue frowned: "Are you going to Taiyuan Prefecture?"
Lu Yunchu heard something wrong in his tone and asked, "What's wrong?"
He didn't give a specific reason, but just said the situation wasn't looking good: "Wait a minute, something might happen on the way."
Lu Yunchu was not reckless and just followed Wen Jue's advice.
They had originally planned to find an inn to stay at, but Wen Jue directly ordered the guards to take them to his residence. Since they met Wen Zhan, he parted ways with them without even saying hello.
Wen Zhan had no objection to this, and Lu Yunchu had no objection either. Wen Jue looked much more normal than before, and following him would provide food, shelter, and security, so there was no need to object.
After the carriage stopped, Lu Yunchu lifted the curtain and came out. He had thought that the hero's house must be luxurious, but he didn't expect it to be much simpler than he had imagined.
The guard went forward and knocked on the door, and the person who opened the door turned out to be Liu Zhixu.
She was dressed like a woman and looked particularly gentle. When she saw Lu Yunchu standing beside the carriage, a smile immediately appeared on her expressionless face.
Lu Yunchu was also very happy to see Liu Zhixu. She had always been concerned about the heroine's growth and now she could ask about it in person.
The two of them walked into the hospital together, exchanged a few simple greetings, and Lu Yunchu asked her about her recent situation with concern.
Liu Zhixu was very friendly to her and answered all her questions. Lu Yunchu asked for a while and confirmed that she had not yet revealed her golden finger to start the road of infrastructure construction, and was a little disappointed.
The two of them talked for a while, and Lu Yunchu said, "I'll go to the guest room to pack my luggage first, and we'll talk later."
As soon as she stood up, Liu Zhixu called her.
"Yunchu." She called him in a very intimate way, which made Lu Yunchu stunned for a moment, "What do you think of me?"
Lu Yunchu was stunned and said subconsciously: "Very good."
Liu Zhixu curved his eyebrows and said, "I have told you everything I know, right?"
Lu Yunchu felt a little embarrassed. It seemed that Liu Zhixu actually sensed something was wrong because of all her inquiries.
She sat down and lowered her head.
Liu Zhixu refilled her tea: "I have a question, can you help me solve it?"
Lu Yunchu felt that Liu Zhixu was odd, especially with this gentle women's outfit, which looked out of place no matter how he looked at her.
She nodded: "What's the problem?"
Liu Zhixu seemed to be relieved. The gentle mask on her face was finally removed, and replaced with her usual cold expression: "You just inquired about my recent situation, and seemed disappointed?"
Lu Yunchu fidgeted awkwardly, and after a while he managed to utter a few words: "Uh, yes, I just think... I think Miss Liu should be someone who can accomplish great things."
Liu Zhixu thought of countless possibilities, but he never expected her to answer like this: "Achieve great things?"
Lu Yunchu nodded.
She smiled: "Yun Chu, I am a lame man, I can't carry anything on my shoulders or lift anything with my hands."
Lu Yunchu felt sad when he heard her say this. He guessed that this was the period in the first half of the story when the heroine suffered setbacks, humiliation and sadness. After this period, she would truly grow up.
She comforted him, "Don't be so mean. Accomplishing great things does not involve sending people to the battlefield to fight and kill. Look at the counselors behind those emperors, all of them are weak scholars." After breaking up with the hero, the heroine married a prince. She gave him advice behind the scenes and won him many cities. Finally, the prince fell ill, and she successfully took over, and the surrounding city lords were all in danger.
Liu Zhixu was not comforted and smiled softly: "Thank you. But I..." I don't know what she has been through. She looks very depressed. "I am the youngest daughter in the family. I should have lived a carefree life, married and had children. But my family was suddenly in trouble. All my older brothers passed away, leaving me alone. There is no one to inherit such a huge family business."
Lu Yunchu interrupted her: "Aren't you going to inherit it?"
She was only concerned with the plot, and didn't notice the cunning flash in Liu Zhixu's eyes: "How can I be so capable?"
Lu Yunchu added casually: "You are very good, you have a good brain, you can see everything, others only know how to fight and kill, but you know to start with the people. Water can carry a boat but can also capsize it. You discovered so many seeds, improved farming, and alleviated-" She spit out a string of words, suddenly realized something was wrong, and quickly shut up.
Looking at Liu Zhixu again, he no longer had the sad expression he had just now. He looked straight at her and smiled with relief, "So that's how it is."
Lu Yunchu got goosebumps all of a sudden, and stammered, "Miss Liu, Miss Liu?" Was she trying to trick him? Did she find out everything
Liu Zhixu smiled gently, without answering her doubts, and just said: "Thank you, Yunchu."
Lu Yunchu felt a chill down his spine at her smile. Looking at her now, he seemed to be able to see the shadow of the heroine who was controlling the princes and winning the hearts of the people behind the scenes.
"You—" She was about to ask, but Liu Zhixu made a "hush" sound.
She was rarely playful: "Don't you still need to pack your luggage? Go ahead."
Lu Yunchu was really confused by her. He subconsciously stood up and walked outside. After walking out of the house, he found that the area around the house was empty, with only Ying standing on a tree not far away.
It seemed that Liu Zhixu had been planning to talk to her from the beginning.
Lu Yunchu glanced at the closed door and felt a mixture of emotion.
In the evening, it suddenly started to rain heavily. Lu Yunchu and Wen Zhan stayed in the room, ready to cook a bowl of noodles to make do.
The wind was blowing so hard that the windows were banging.
Lu Yunchu hurriedly walked to the bedside and lowered the window latch. He watched Liu Zhixu hurriedly walk out with an umbrella, probably going to greet Wen Jue home.
The strong wind blew up her skirt and the rain wet her clothes. She walked hurriedly, looking particularly gentle.
Lu Yunchu closed the window and stopped looking.
Liu Zhixu walked to the door, and before long, Wen Jue arrived.
When he saw Liu Zhixu, the serious expression on his face relaxed a little, and he got off the horse, all wet with rain.
Liu Zhixu asked: "What happened?"
Wen Jue replied, "You and I pretended to be a commoner couple, so we didn't arouse suspicion." He walked into the gate, "Where's the stuff? Did you get it?"
Liu Zhixu followed closely behind, holding an umbrella for him: "Got it. There is also a letter, which is out—"
Before he could finish his words, Wen Jue turned around in surprise.
He already knew Liu Zhixu's identity. Although Shu was a remote and isolated place, her father always had more people available than he did.
He stretched out his hand to Liu Zhixu, who did not hesitate to give him the letter. He immediately handed it to him, saying, "Don't worry. It's raining so hard. Go back and read it later."
Wen Jue smiled and put the letter in his arms: "This time, it's all thanks to you." Wen Jue was very excited, "Today's work is done, and I can finally start to close the net."
He was so excited that he turned to Liu Zhixu and said, "If one day my great cause is accomplished, you must be the one standing shoulder to shoulder with me." He held Liu Zhixu's hand and said, "I promise to be with you for the rest of my life and I will never let you down."
Liu Zhixu was somewhat moved, with tears in his eyes.
Wen Jue looked at her, walked over and said, "Come back to the house quickly, I'll take a look at the letter first." The letter on his chest seemed to be warm, burning his blood, he didn't care about the rain, and walked quickly into the house.
Liu Zhixu was lame and couldn't keep up with his speed. He jogged for a while, twisted his ankle, and fell in the rain.
The raindrops hit the ground with crackling sounds, but Wen Jue did not hear it and hurriedly disappeared in the rain.
Liu Zhixu's umbrella fell aside and the rain wet her hair.
She fell to the ground and didn't get up for a long time.
After a while, a dark figure appeared in front of her, picked up the umbrella, and shielded her from the wind and rain.
Liu Zhixu looked up. Her expression was no different from the one in the plot. Her eyes were filled with tears and sadness.
Ying gripped the umbrella handle so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
Liu Zhixu was not in a hurry to get up. She wiped the water droplets on her face with her fingers and stood up with difficulty.
Ying was of low status and didn't dare to help her.
Her foot was badly sprained, but she remained calm and surprisingly, her voice was not tearful: "Dad, is the army here?"
Shadow head.
"Very good." Only then did she show a real smile on her face. "Just as he said, it's time to close the net."
Her hands were on her chest, where the real letter lay.
"Jingnan." She said, "The Liu family accepted it with pleasure."
Ying remained silent and quietly held the umbrella for her, but his face was very gloomy.
Liu Zhixu wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, paused, and suddenly said, "Don't you have any regrets about me?"
Ying's body stiffened, he lowered his head and said nothing.
He had just heard Wen Jue's promise to her. Just as Master Huiji said, Wen Jue had the appearance of an emperor. The meaning of his words just now was profound, and one could understand it even without understanding it clearly.
He knew he shouldn't look at his master, but he couldn't help but look up, his eyes fell on Liu Zhixu's white chin. Just a glance, he quickly moved away.
Liu Zhixu didn't seem to notice his gaze, and just murmured, "A lifetime together, an emperor and empress, how many women would envy them?"
Liu Zhixu's voice was very soft, and was easily covered by the sound of rain: "It's just the emperor and the empress, why should I be the 'empress' who falls behind?"
