The concubine's favorite? Break off the engagement and marry another prince, please respect you

Chapter 172

When he was young and naive, she would watch him with her chin in her hands while he practiced martial arts and shooting, and of course she would feel envious sometimes.

At that time, Lu Ziyan had not yet become the commander of the army. They had a good relationship and Xie Wan Ning once asked him to teach her martial arts.

But one couldn't stand the hardship and the other couldn't make up his mind, so in the end, nothing came of it.

Unexpectedly, the habits he left behind when he trained her reaction speed were actually remembered by her subconscious body.

Look, he just threw it away without even saying hello.

She opened her hand and caught it.

If it were in the past, Xie Wan Ning would have to praise herself, saying that she was agile and quick, and a good candidate for martial arts, but now...

The girl opposite was blushing and looking so embarrassed. Lu Ziyan smiled slightly and said, "Wanwan, do you really think you can forget me?"

We grew up together and have accumulated affection for two lifetimes.

They have seen each other at their most miserable and tragic moments, and the memories of love and hate are engraved in their bones, blood, and souls.

Who else could come between them?

Pei Yuqing can't do it!

The only reason she refused to look back now was because she was afraid.

He made her suffer injustice and failed to protect her, so she was afraid.

There has never been a moment that made Lu Ziyan so sure that she didn't really stop loving him, but she just didn't dare to love him anymore.

It doesn't matter, it's all his fault.

It was he who made her no longer have the courage to continue loving him, and he would take everything back.

Thinking of this, Lu Ziyan's stern face softened, and his voice became even lighter and softer.

"Open it and take a look," he said.

Xie Wan Ning pursed her lips and did not move.

She didn't throw the thing in her hand back because she was afraid that he would do something weird again, so how could she listen to his instructions and open the bamboo tube?

Lu Ziyan sighed softly, "Wanwan, can you please stop being like a hedgehog in front of me?"

Full of thorns, cautious, wary, and full of hostility.

He simply couldn't stand the way she treated him.

"When have I ever been cruel to you or hurt you?"

Afraid that she would be unhappy, he even released her even though he knew she had consummated her marriage with the old man.

Aren't you considerate enough of her feelings?

As for seeing him being like seeing the god of plague?
Xie Wan Ning was completely unaware of his bitterness. She just stood in the corner, looking at this side from afar, holding up the bamboo tube in her hand and said, "Please take your things and leave. I don't want them."

"Why don't you open it and see before you decide?" Lu Ziyan sat on a low stool, tilting his head to look at her, his face showing no emotion, he just said softly: "My actions may be hateful to you, but Wanwan, you know that no one in this world wants you to be safe more than I do."

His bottom line in this life is her.

No matter how much I do, it's just to protect her and have her.

He values ​​her more than his own life, so anything he gives her must be beneficial to her.

Those eyes were deep and calm, and even a casual glance at them made people feel that they were unfathomable. Xie Wan Ning's lips twitched and she quickly turned her face away.

I even felt that the bamboo tube was hot.

At this moment, Yuanzhu Yuanyue had prepared hot water and was knocking on the door.

Xie Wan Ning had ordered the hot water to be prepared. She took a bath before going to bed every day, and it had been a habit for many years. It was certainly not a good idea to ask them to leave without a reason at this moment.

She glared at the person in front of the round table nervously, "Go away!"

Lu Ziyan clenched his fist and placed it to his lips, coughed softly, and said with a smile: "But I still have a lot to tell you."

This scoundrel look almost made Xie Wan Ning vomit blood. Yuanzhu Yuanyue, who had been waiting outside the door for a while, didn't hear the voice inside. They looked at each other and knocked on the door again, "Madam?"

“Wait!” Xie Wan Ning raised her voice to respond, then lowered her voice and said viciously: “Get out of here right now!”

She was so anxious that Lu Ziyan finally stopped tapping the table and sighed, "Our Wanwan's reputation is important, so I'll hide for a while."

He stood up, looked around, and jumped directly onto the beam.

He was half-lying on his side on a beam as thick as an adult man's waist, supporting his head with one hand and smiling at her with a rogue look on his face, and commented: "The dust is a bit heavy."

Xie Wan Ning: “…”

She had never seen him so shameless before. After secretly cursing his bad luck, she told Yuanzhu Yuanyue to come in.

Behind the two maids were several strong women, each holding hot water in their hands. After bowing slightly to their master, they walked straight to the bathroom.

When I came out again, the bathtub was filled with hot water.

Xie Wan Ning didn't like anyone serving her while she took a bath, so after a while, they left.

The next moment the door closed again, a shadow appeared behind him. It was the gentleman on the beam who fell to the ground.

He leaned forward and asked softly, "Wanwan, isn't it time for you to take a bath?"

"..." Xie Wan Ning took a deep breath and turned back to glare at him, "Lu Ziyan, what on earth do you want to do!"

"I want you, will you give it to me?" Lu Ziyan's expression didn't change at all, he just looked at her and said, "The only thing I wanted from the beginning to the end was to have you."

There's really no hope.

Xie Wan Ning was so angry that she laughed. Her fingers were shaking as she covered her chest. "How did you become such a scoundrel?"

Where is his pride?
Isn't that cold and arrogant?

Isn't it out of reach?
Lu Ziyan also smiled, raised his wrist and clasped her shoulders, and said with a smile: "If I don't come to find you, you will never take the initiative to find me, Wanwan, do you know? I have been waiting for you for a whole day today."

He lifted her chin and looked down at her angry eyes, his smile fading, "No one has ever dared to make me wait so long, but on my way here, I hoped you did it on purpose."

Deliberately teasing him, deliberately torturing him, deliberately bullying him.

Whatever works.

At least I didn't ignore him or not care about him at all.

It's really humble to the dust.

Xie Wan Ning's heart tightened uncontrollably, and she pursed her lips for a long time without uttering a word.

When her eyelids drooped, the hand on her chin gently pinched her, forcing her to look up again.

He seemed not to have told her that he loved her eyes.

Even if there was disgust towards him in her eyes, he liked the way his image was reflected in her beautiful eyes.

"Wanwan," he smiled at her, his voice soft, "I'm going to the battle."

Northern Xinjiang.

These two words flashed through Xie Wan Ning's mind.

He had said before that he would fight in Northern Xinjiang this year.

Wait until he comes back from Northern Xinjiang...

Everything went dark before her eyes, and the man in front of her moved closer to her. Xie Wan Ning thought he was going to kiss her again, but he didn't.

Lu Ziyan just looked at her without blinking, as if he wanted to carve her into his heart, "Will you come with me?"

“……!” Xie Wanning’s pupils suddenly widened, “You want to kidnap me and take me to the battlefield!”

Lu Ziyan asked, "Are you willing?" "No!" Xie Wan Ning was furious, "I know you are used to being arrogant, but I..."

"I'm just worried about you," Lu Ziyan interrupted. "The journey to the northern border is long and the mountains are high. If anything happens to you, I won't be able to help you. Wanwan, I don't want to experience the pain of your deep sleep again."

His tone was gentle, he was just stating a fact, not expressing his feelings, and there was no embarrassment in exposing his pain points.

Xie Wan Ning listened, slowly clenched her fingers in her sleeves, moved her lips, and said stiffly: "Don't bother me."

"This is your safety, I can't just ignore it," Lu Ziyan said, caressing her soft jawline with his fingertips, "Come with me to the Northern Frontier, okay? In a year at most, I will defeat the Jin Dynasty and bring you back to Beijing."

"I won't go," Xie Wanning said with a wooden face, "Of course you can take me away by force, and you don't need to consider my feelings, but I tell you, all you will get is..."

"Shut up!" Lu Ziyan's expression changed instantly, and he shouted, "If you dare to speak without restraint again, I will take you to the camp and serve you."

The word "serve" coming out of his mouth is definitely a verb.

Xie Wan Ning was very aware of the situation and stopped talking immediately, but her eyes were still full of anger.

Their eyes met for a long time, and his expression gradually softened. "Really not going?"

"No." Xie Wan Ning said.

Lu Ziyan looked at her deeply for a long time, and finally hummed softly, "Then I won't go."

When it comes to stubbornness, he can never compare to this girl.

Xie Wan Ning heaved a sigh of relief, and then he handed the bamboo tube to her, "Open it and take a look."

The bamboo tube was neither too big nor too small, and the sealing layer had been torn open by him. She only needed to peel it gently to open it.

Xie Wan Ning thought about it, pulled out the bamboo stopper, and poured out the contents.

A jade ring and a curled note.

There were some small characters written in a flamboyant style on the note.

Xie Wan Ning took a quick glance, and when she saw the words "Purple Bamboo Forest", the corners of her lips twitched slightly.

This person couldn't really be there, waiting for her.

How did he think she would be willing to go on a tryst with him alone?
It turned out that what he said about waiting for her for a day was actually true.

"With this ring, you can command all my personal soldiers in the capital."

Lu Ziyan picked up the jade ring on her palm and whispered, "This is the backup plan I left for you. When I'm not in the capital, if you sense any disturbance, don't take the risk to test anything. Go directly to the Zhenbei Palace. There is a tunnel leading to the military camp outside the capital. Once you get there, no one can hurt you..."

As he spoke, he was about to tell her to put on the ring.

Xie Wan Ning raised her hand to interrupt: "Do you think I'll be in any danger?"

Lu Ziyan paused and said calmly: "There are many people in the world who are short-sighted. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. It is better to be prepared."

He didn't give a direct answer, but Xie Wan Ning knew.

Once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of ropes for ten years.

Her death in his previous life made him no longer have the confidence to plan and control everything.

Xie Wan Ning herself felt that since it was a matter of her own life, it could not be too careful.

But she is now a wife of the Pei family, how can she take his token and rely on his people for protection?

In this case, where does Pei Yuqing stand?

Pei Yuqing...

Xie Wan Ning was startled, "My secret guard!"

When Pei Yuqing left Beijing, he left her with four secret guards, and Pei Er was there to take care of her in the open.

Now, this man has appeared in her room openly, where are those secret guards?
Seeing that she finally reacted, Lu Ziyan pinched his brow and whispered, "I didn't do it."

As she stared at him with gritted teeth, he said with a guilty conscience: "It should be Mingfeng who handled it. You know, he is used to making decisions on his own..."

"Lu Ziyan!"

Those were the four secret guards that Pei Yuqing had carefully selected for her before she left Beijing. They were elite members of the Sky-Clearing Guard who were capable of taking on ten enemies at once!

Last time, several secret guards were dealt with by his Ming Feng, and this time it was him again!
Xie Wan Ning was really annoyed and hateful, with anger rising to the top of her head. Without thinking, she raised her hand and swung it down violently.

A crisp sound of "pop" echoed throughout the house.

Even the maid waiting outside heard the noise and asked in a low voice.

Xie Wan Ning only felt her wrists going numb and her palms aching. Just as she was saying a few words to the maid, her wrist was grabbed.

"Does it hurt?" Lu Ziyan looked at her red palm, pinched it gently, and said calmly: "Do you like slapping your face so much?"

On his handsome profile, there was a clear palm print.

Prince Lu, who has been able to get whatever he wants since he was a child, is now the King of Zhenbei who holds military power.

Even his most hated political enemies probably wouldn't dare to think about getting slapped in the face.

But this was the second slap she had given him.

Xie Wan Ning moved her lips and gritted her teeth, "You deserve a beating!"

"Okay, I deserve a beating." He didn't seem annoyed at all. He lowered his head and moved closer, coaxing, "Do you still want to fight? Calm down. I'll only beat you, even for the rest of your life. Okay?"

Xie Wan Ning sneered and was about to speak, but as soon as she opened her lips, Lu Ziyan came over and held her chin with his hand.

Kiss her in a way that leaves no room for her to avoid.

The kiss was hot and passionate, with undisguised intense love and pain.

Before this, Xie Wan Ning had never known that a kiss could convey such complex emotions.

It was as if she could empathize with him and truly understand his emotions.

A deep kiss that makes you want to swallow the person into your stomach, but there is no desire at all when the kiss ends.

His eyes were red, but no tears were shed. However, his eyelashes looked wet, like a small animal with its claws and fangs retracted.

Poor and harmless.

This is so ridiculous, this is Lu Ziyan!
How could he be pitiful, how could he be harmless!
Xie Wan Ning closed her eyes, trying to suppress her ridiculous expression, raised her hand and slapped him hard again, "Get lost!"

With a 'pop' sound, the room fell completely silent.

Lu Ziyan maintained the posture of having his face tilted by the slap, and his beautiful eyelashes trembled.

After a long while, he said softly, "How heartless."

He almost wanted to dig out his true heart and give it to her.

All his self-esteem and pride were shattered, and he even lost his sense of shame.

He only wanted her, shamelessly.

But she became more cruel each time.

"I have no feelings for you, so how can I be ruthless!" Xie Wan Ning held her trembling wrist, took a deep breath, and said in a hard voice, "Get out of here!"

"I can't get out of here." After a while, he recovered from the pain of her words, stood up straight, and said in a light tone: "Are you sure I can't bear to touch you?"

He said, "Wanwan, if I were you, I wouldn't give someone like me no hope at all."

"Are you going to threaten me again?" Xie Wanning laughed angrily, "Besides threats, hornyness, and endless entanglement, do you have any other tricks?"

"You keep saying you love me, but your feelings don't make me feel happy at all, only annoyed!"

"I don't need it! I don't need you to love me, understand?"
