Lu Heng received a message from his subordinates and quickly found Wang Yanqing. Seeing Wang Yanqing's pale face, Lu Heng quickly touched her hand and found that his fingers were cold. Lu Heng frowned and asked, "Why are you here alone? Have you waited for a long time?"
Wang Yanqing shook his head and said, "It's nothing, let's go back first."
In fact, Lu Heng came over after leaving his errand, but Wang Yanqing wanted to go home, so of course Lu Heng gave her priority. Wang Yanqing was extraordinarily silent today. Seeing that she never spoke, Lu Heng kept thinking about what happened.
Why does she look so preoccupied
Lu Heng decided for a while, no, now let someone find out what happened in the palace. Could it be that she was wronged in the palace and suddenly wanted to go home? There were many guesses floating in Lu Heng's mind, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became. He was so busy suspecting his enemy that he didn't notice the arrival of the Wang Zhai.
The carriage stopped, and Lu Heng snapped back to his senses. He suppressed his emotions and sent Wang Yanqing off the bus as usual. When Wang Yanqing walked to the door, he suddenly stopped uncharacteristically, turned around and asked, "Do you have anything else to do today?"
Lu Heng was stunned for a moment, and said ambiguously, "I'm not sure yet, it depends on the arrangement. What's wrong?"
Wang Yanqing lowered her eyes and said hesitantly, "I want to talk about the things between us."
Lu Heng immediately decided that he had time, and changed his words: "I suddenly remembered that there is still an official document that has not been sent, and the rest of the work cannot be done. Anyway, I will wait when I return to Nanzhen Fusi. Let's go ahead and talk."
Lu Heng finally entered Wang Yanqing's boudoir as he wished, but he didn't feel relieved when he saw her posture. Her little face was so serious, could it be that she still decided to leave him
Lu Heng regretted his decision a little. He calmed down and asked, "You seem to be in a state of restlessness today, what happened?"
Wang Yanqing hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to cut the mess with a quick knife and talk about it today. She mustered up her courage, did not let herself back down, and said directly: "I went to see the eldest princess in the Shenxi Concubine Palace, and I happened to meet the emperor."
Lu Heng responded in a low voice, and his eyes became serious. Did you happen to meet the emperor? Lu Heng didn't believe it.
He realized that what he had been calculating for a long time might soon come to an end.
His eyes were deep and quiet, and when he looked at her seriously, it made people panic. Wang Yanqing quietly avoided his eyes and said, "The emperor told me what you said."
Lu Heng gave a light "um", calmly exceeding expectations. Wang Yanqing didn't expect his attitude, so he could only ask: "Why do you do this?"
Lu Heng thought that the day had finally come, but he really didn't expect it to come out of the emperor's mouth. Lu Heng understood that success or failure depended on this, so he cheered up and said solemnly: "Because you are my wife. Separation between you and me is a private matter between husband and wife. You can make trouble with the door closed, but I will never allow anyone to hurt you when you go out. you."
"You finally told me the truth." Wang Yanqing said, "You always feel that this is a private affair between husband and wife, which means that from the beginning, you never thought about letting me go."
Lu Heng's heart trembled, and finally he gritted his teeth and said, "Yes."
A life who dares not take risks will never get high returns. He knows the emperor and Wang Yanqing. As long as he has enough information, taking risks is a controllable gamble.
He just had to gamble a little bit of his luck.
Wang Yanqing's hunch came true, but he was not surprised. Wang Yanqing continued to ask: "That day you saw it was me who fell, why did you save me?"
Lu Heng's scalp was numb, and the "day" in Wang Yanqing's words was obviously the day when he set up Fu Tingzhou to ambush and caused Wang Yanqing to fall off a cliff and lose his memory. Lu Heng didn't want to touch these dangerous old accounts at all, but he knew that he had to answer this question.
Lu Heng secretly sighed for himself and said truthfully, "In order to negotiate terms with Fu Tingzhou."
"Why don't we talk about it later?"
"Because it's not worth it for you." Lu Heng stared at Wang Yanqing, her figure clearly reflected in his eyes, which made people feel dangerous for no reason, "He is a person like him, and you are also devoted to him. There is nothing I can do better than him, why? I can not"
Wang Yanqing was horrified by Lu Heng's eyes, she pinched her palms and asked, "So you lied to me?"
"Yes." Lu Heng nodded and admitted. Once he breaks through that line, many things are not as difficult to face as he imagined. Perhaps, he himself has long wanted to pour it out.
He always felt that when she lost her memory, she was very close to him, but she actually regarded him as the "second brother" in her mind. He prefers that Wang Yanqing chooses him when he is fully awake, rather than treating him as any man's fantasy.
He admitted that it was too quick, but Wang Yanqing was at a loss for words. When he didn't tell the truth, Wang Yanqing hated him for hiding it, but when he really admitted it, Wang Yanqing felt at a loss.
Yes, she should have known long ago that he was such a vicious, shameless and unscrupulous person. When she first lost her memory, she fantasized about the most perfect "second brother", betting all the good qualities on him. But over time, she found that her "second brother" was not beautiful, and even had a lot of disgraceful sides. She persuaded herself that no matter what, he was her brother, as long as he was nice to her.
Later she finally learned that he was neither upright nor clean, not even her brother. He didn't have the qualities she imagined her future husband should have, but he was such a bad person that she was worried and couldn't let go.
She loves him for being smart, strong, careful and responsible, and admires him for being calm, rational, and scheming.
He is not a good person, but he is the man she likes.
Wang Yanqing was quiet for a while, then raised his eyes and asked, "Then why did you lie to me, let me call him Fu Thief, and induce me to stab me?"
Lu Heng was quite calm about this, and said bluntly: "Because I think he is not happy, maybe he is a little jealous."
A little bit
Lu Heng couldn't even convince himself, probably far more than that.
Wang Yanqing's lips moved slightly, and she wanted to speak several times, but she didn't know how to speak. People are shameless and invincible, Lu Heng admitted his despicableness and jealousy, what else can Wang Yanqing say
Wang Yanqing held back for a long time, and finally said with a solemn face: "When I was in the Lu Mansion, it wasn't that your lies were flawless, but that I never doubted you. Likewise, I'm not talking to you now because of your How clever the trick is, but because your feelings are real."
Lu Heng's face also became serious, and he looked at Wang Yanqing seriously. After Wang Yanqing finished speaking, she paused, then forced her face away and said, "But I still can't accept feelings that are maintained by deception."
"I know." Lu Heng hugged Wang Yanqing's shoulders and pulled her into his arms. "In the beginning, I was mean and wanted to take revenge on Fu Tingzhou, so I came up with that bad idea. But then the lies kept getting bigger and bigger. If you want to confess, it's hard to ride a tiger. I promise you, it won't happen in the future."
Lu Heng usually smiles, but when he said these words, his voice was solemn, without the slightest smile. After Lu Heng finished speaking, he noticed that Wang Yanqing had not pushed him away, and asked cautiously, "So, I passed my test, right?"
Wang Yanqing bit her lip and struggled for a while, wondering, "But, it's been agreed for three months..."
Passing it now, it seems that she is very unprincipled.
Hearing this, Lu Heng quickly said, "You must not have this kind of burden. If you are not happy, I can continue to apologize, but definitely don't delay."
What does it mean to be late and change, and what is happiness to be sad, Lu Heng is too afraid that the wedding day will repeat itself. Facts have proved that the more afraid of what will come, he should seize the opportunity and make a final decision.
Wang Yanqing didn't speak, Lu Heng knew that she couldn't think about it at such a time, she should be cool when she figured it out. Lu Heng decided while it was hot, "Then it's settled. You can wait for me at home, and I'll come back for dinner in the evening."
Wang Yanqing sighed weakly in his arms and silently agreed. She found that a person like Lu Heng was terrifying, as long as he wanted, he could get anything he wanted.
Power, wealth, she, without exception.
Lu Heng couldn't believe that the surprise came so suddenly, he pecked Wang Yanqing's face hard, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, but there was still business waiting for him outside, Lu Heng could only reluctantly let go and said, "Wait for me tonight. return."
"it is good."
Guo Tao and the others suddenly discovered that they were all going out, and when they came back, it was like being beaten by chicken blood. The task that originally took a day was just compressed into two hours by him. When he arrived at Youshi, Lu Heng threw the finishing work down, and said with a cold face that he would check it tomorrow, and then left without looking back.
The people from Nanzhen Fusi looked at Lu Heng in disbelief. They had never seen Lu Heng leave the office so early since they had the impression. They couldn't help but get together and asked quietly, "What happened to the Governor?"
"do not know."
Lu Heng didn't care that his clothes were injured, he galloped all the way back to the other courtyard, accompanies Wang Yanqing to dinner after a long absence, and then stayed overnight. But unfortunately, they sleep in two rooms.
Lu Heng hated so much why he prepared so many rooms in this house.
After that, Wang Yanqing didn't enter the palace again, and Lu Heng went out every morning, and came back at night to eat and sleep. Except for the change of place, his days seemed to be no different from the previous two years. Lu Heng slept alone for two days, and felt that it made sense. It was almost done. He didn't leave after dinner in the evening, but instead showed a state of talking about things.
Wang Yanqing thought he had something to say, so he put on a serious look and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lu Heng motioned for the maids to step back. After the maids closed the doors and windows and there was no one else in the room, Lu Heng sat next to Wang Yanqing and said earnestly, "Qingqing, tomorrow the Marquis of Zhenyuan and Marquis of Yongping will have a wedding banquet."
Wang Yanqing just remembered that Fu Tingzhou and Hong Wanqing's wedding was scheduled for February, which is tomorrow. She blinked, not understanding what medicine Lu Heng sold in the gourd: "Yes, what do you want to do?"
"He came to our wedding in the first month, and now he and the Hong family are married, shouldn't we say something?"
Wang Yanqing raised her eyebrows and looked at him. After a long time, she couldn't say anything, "Could it be, are you going to attend their wedding?"
"I'm not sick, why should I go." Lu Heng mocked mercilessly. Wang Yanqing was somewhat relieved when he heard his denial.
Thankfully, Lu Heng didn't plan to go to the wedding banquet. But this made Wang Yanqing even more confused. She asked strangely, "Then what exactly do you want to do?"
Lu Heng took Wang Yanqing's hand, rubbed his meaningful fingers between hers, and said, "I got married earlier than him. Wouldn't it be laughter and generous if he's married and I haven't?"
Wang Yanqing did not expect to hear such blatant words, and was stunned for a while. After she reacted, her cheeks were flushed to the tip of her ears, and even Lu Heng's twitching movement between her fingers seemed to have a different meaning.
Wang Yanqing only felt that those hands were not hers anymore. She pulled her hands hard but couldn't. She said angrily, "No one else knows."
"But I know." Lu Heng looked at her faintly, like a wolf staring at its prey in a snowy night, "Qingqing, we are already married. The marriage has not been consummated a month after the marriage, and others may suspect that I am not good enough."
Wang Yanqing thought that she was really blind. When he vowed not to lie to her a few days ago, she thought he was sincere. He clearly has this kind of thing in his head!
Wang Yanqing blushed and wanted to drip blood, and finally murmured, "But our bridal chamber is not here."
"It's not important." Lu Heng hugged Wang Yanqing's waist, picked her up easily, and walked quickly into the room, "I still keep the furnishings in the Lu Mansion, if you have any regrets, we'll make up for it when we go back tomorrow. One night. But today I must put my husband's name on the ground."
