While Wen Si'er was stunned, Lu Yilan had already slowly walked up to her and looked down at her.

The overwhelming feeling of oppression prompted Wen Si'er to retreat, but she stopped herself and stood still.

Her calm gaze met Lu Yilan's eyes.

Soon, he caught a fleeting glimpse of a smile in the depths of those eyes. The emotion came and went so quickly that Wen Sier suspected that he was dazzled.

Because the next moment, Lu Yilan casually said: "But the facts are here. It costs a hundred taels of gold to breed one of those little snakes. How do you think you're going to compensate?"

Go to hell with your hundred ounces of gold!
Wen Si'er's indifferent expression collapsed for a moment, and she complained in her heart that it would be better to give the gold to herself!
But she would not say this out loud. She put on a fake smile and said, "Your Majesty, this is a little unreasonable."

Lu Yilan looked at her without saying anything, his slightly raised eyebrows seemed to be saying: Even if you are unreasonable, what can you do to me?
Wen Si'er clicked his tongue. How come this bastard was becoming more and more like a scoundrel?

She spread her hands and said casually: "These snakes are fine. I don't need to pay for them."

As she spoke, under Lu Yilan's slightly cold gaze, she picked up a small flower snake that looked already stiff, held it in the air, shook it, and tapped a certain position on it.

The little snake that looked like it was dead shook twice and slowly spit out its core. It actually came back to life. After waking up, it was stunned and opened its mouth to bite, but was restrained by Wen Si'er's quick eyes and hands.

She smiled coldly, with a hint of mockery in her tone: "See, he is indeed shameless."

Ye Shi’s crying stopped, Bai Yunxiao shuddered all over and looked at Wen Si’er with horror.

I don't know whether she was scolding the snake or the person.

Dare not think, dare not listen!
Lu Yilan narrowed his peach blossom eyes slightly, but he was not annoyed. He glanced at the revived snake casually and said calmly: "It was frightened, and it needs someone to take good care of it. The cost of recuperation cannot be reduced."

Wen Si'er opened her eyes wide. This guy was really looking for trouble tonight. No matter how much she said, she would inevitably be blamed in the end.

She secretly gritted her teeth, and the sound seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, "Then what does the prince want?"

Lu Yilan had a smiling expression on his face, looking like a fox that had succeeded. He gave Wen Sier a look that said "you're smart" and said leisurely, "We came to Xuzhou City too hastily, and all preparations are not yet complete. You come to keep watch for me tonight."

Wen Si'er's cheeks tensed up all of a sudden, and the unpleasant memories from the road came flooding back. She tried to struggle, "Does the prince still need someone to keep watch?"

Lu Yilan raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "Why, you want to default on your debt?"

Wen Si'er didn't say anything. This was naked power oppression. After all, he couldn't beat Lu Yilan now. Even if Lu Yilan asked him to work like a slave, he would have to endure it.

She felt that sooner or later she would be mad to death.

After taking a deep breath, Wen Sier resigned himself to his fate and said, "Got it. I'll be there right away."

As she spoke, her hand hidden in her sleeve subconsciously touched the silver needle on her wrist, thinking about the possibility of one needle crippling Lu Yilan.

But in the final analysis, this was just something she could only think about in her mind. Lu Yilan's gaze silently moved around her sleeves for a moment, then he retracted his gaze, put his hands behind his back and left.

After a few steps, the voice came again, "I will give you a cup of tea."

Wen Sier's face darkened, and he said angrily, "I know!"

Bai Yunxiao looked at Wen Si'er who was taking a deep breath with a complicated expression, then hurriedly caught up with Lu Yilan. Ye Shi wiped his tears, picked up the snakes on the ground one by one and held them in his arms, then came up to him with a wronged look.

“Master Xiao Wen…” Wen Sier choked, and finally sighed, saying tiredly: “It’s okay, they will wake up naturally after tonight.”

Forget it. After all, we are all subordinates who have to obey our superiors. Why should we be angry with them?

Ye Shi suddenly became cheerful, a hint of joy flashed across his young face. He thanked Wen Si'er earnestly, then followed happily, holding the big snake and the small snake.

Wen Si'er felt the cold wind for a while, went back to his room to change his clothes, tightened the fabric around his chest again and again, and then went out.

After standing at the door for a moment, she paused slightly, feeling as if she had forgotten something, but her mind was blank, obviously she had forgotten it because of Lu Yilan's anger.

She shook her head and said, forget it, don’t think about it anymore. The best thing to do tonight is to deal with that bastard Lu Yilan.

When Wen Si'er stood in front of Lu Yilan's door, there was no one around. Candles were lit in the room, and his figure leaning on the couch holding a book was outlined on the window paper.

As soon as she stepped forward, the door opened by itself. Wen Si'er raised his hand, paused in mid-air, and then put it down as if nothing had happened, but he was extremely shocked in his heart.

Lu Yilan's internal strength has become so profound!

She suppressed her amazement and walked closer to salute. It was not until the bright light in the room that she suddenly noticed that Lu Yilan's lips were a little pale.

Wen Sier was stunned for a moment, then blurted out, "The prince's old illness has relapsed?"

Lu Yilan, however, seemed to have no discomfort at all. He raised his eyelids and glanced at her casually, and said in a calm voice: "Come over now."

It turned out that there was something wrong. Wen Si'er felt relieved. She took out the silver needle consciously and just warmed it over the candlelight silently when she heard Lu Yilan's voice coming from above her head.

"Wen Chengming, you won't take this opportunity to retaliate, right?"

The hand that was about to prick the painful point paused. The voice laughed softly, but the words it spoke were sinister, "This king has always been intolerant of pain. If he can't bear it, I don't know what he will do."

Wen Sier gritted his teeth, turned his hand in another direction, and said word by word: "Of course I won't."

……

The candle made a slight "crackling" sound, and Lu Yilan, who was lying on the couch, opened his eyes silently.

The next moment, a dark shadow landed silently in front of his bed.

It was Ye Jiu who was asked to report his fate as soon as he came back.

He was about to speak when Lu Yilan raised his hand. He was stunned and suddenly realized that there was someone else in the room.

At this time, on a beauty couch opposite the bed in the room, Wen Sier was lying on it with her clothes on, sleeping on her side. Her face was calm and quiet, lacking the wanton and ostentatious look she had during the day, and she seemed inexplicably soft and beautiful.

Lu Yilan's gaze stopped on her, and for a moment he forgot to look away.

At this time, Ye Jiu was wondering: Why is Xiao Wen in the prince's room? This must be the prince's new way of torturing people!
Just as he was thinking, a cold gaze fell on him. He was startled and immediately clasped his fists and lowered his voice respectfully, saying in a deep voice: "I am incompetent and have lost the whereabouts of the miracle doctor..."

"But, I have found the whereabouts of the hairpin. It is indeed in the possession of a dishevelled woman!"

Lu Yilan's eyes darkened instantly! (End of this chapter)
