Chapter 184
"It's not what you think," Lu Ziyan held her hand and tried his best to explain, "I told them the real cause of your death. They didn't believe it at first, but later they went to the prison to meet your aunt and cousin..."
"Wanwan, you know that your father and brother are both talented and humble gentlemen. They couldn't accept that a girl in the family would kill her relatives for power, and they didn't want to stay in the capital, a sad place." He paused and whispered, "Believe me, I still had some reason at the time. I didn't go crazy, and I didn't embarrass them."
Xie Wanning frowned and sat up.
This was not the first time she heard him say that he was a lunatic. She originally thought he was just making fun of himself, but after witnessing that "chopped into meat paste" was really chopped into meat paste, she could no longer comfort herself when she heard his words again.
Is he really crazy?
The king of a country is a madman?
"Don't look at me like that," Lu Ziyan smiled stiffly, "No matter how crazy I am, I won't hurt you."
"......" Xie Wan was silent for a moment, and asked tentatively: "You said that after I died, you only lived for five years?"
Lu Ziyan obviously didn't want to talk about his past life. He lowered his eyes to the two people's clasped hands and hummed lightly in response.
Xie Wan Ning ignored his retreat and continued to ask: "Then have you appointed a crown prince for the Khan?"
Lu Ziyan was stunned, and said seriously: "I don't have a harem, I have never touched other women, and I don't have any offspring."
Xie Wan Ning was silent again, knowing that he had misunderstood her meaning, and said helplessly: "...I just want to know who will be the successor of the Khan after you."
Even if he ascended the throne as soon as she died, it would only be for a short five years.
When she died, the Jin Dynasty had not yet been completely pacified, the Khan was still facing internal and external troubles, and the emperor who ascended the throne was an irrational, short-lived madman...
If there was no crown prince, when he died, the dynasty would have no legitimate successor, and the land would be in chaos. Even Xie Wan Ning, a woman who was ignorant of government affairs, could imagine it.
There will definitely be wars everywhere, warlords fighting for their own rights, and the people will suffer.
Although she was a woman, she was also patriotic. The Khanate lasted nearly three hundred years...
Xie Wan Ning looked at him. Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, she knew the answer. Her expression gradually changed. "How did you die?"
Was it a sudden death? So there was no time to arrange funeral affairs?
This time, Lu Ziyan answered quickly, "Died on the battlefield."
He could have dodged the arrow when it came, but he didn't. There was no need to tell her that.
Xie Wan Ning was discouraged and glared at him. "As the king of a country, you led the army in person without even appointing a crown prince. Have you ever thought about what kind of crisis the Khan will face if something happens to you? What kind of suffering will the people suffer?"
...What kind of crisis will the Khan face?
Lu Ziyan wanted to laugh. During the five years when she was in a coma, he was a complete lunatic. How could one expect a lunatic to worry about national affairs?
He is a madman who only knows how to kill!
"Wanwan really cares about the country and the people." He held her hand, touched it to his lips, and smiled, "I was wrong. I shouldn't be so willful. Remember to keep an eye on me in this life, so that I can also be a wise ruler who loves the people like his own children."
Xie Wan Ning: “…”
Her speechless expression was also very vivid and beautiful. Lu Ziyan raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "It's been three days. Are you ready to accept me again, Wanwan?"
Xie Wan Ning was stunned for a moment.
Yes, three days.
It has been three days since we were rescued from the gold thieves.
In the past few days, his eyes became more and more fiery, just like a hungry wolf. When he looked at her, his eyes were glowing green.
If he hadn't considered that she had left a shadow on the Jin man, he wouldn't have been so cautious.
They all have memories of past lives.
In their previous life, they were husband and wife.
For two whole years, they did all kinds of intimate things.
The memories of those times spent together in bed kept appearing in his mind. The woman he loved was right in front of him, within his reach...
She had no idea how torturous all this was for a hot-blooded man in his twenties.
If he looked at her for a moment longer, his whole body would feel hot and achy, and even his soul wanted to hug her.
Xie Wan Ning really didn't know how intolerable she was to him, but she could see the strong desire in his eyes, which made her heart tremble with fear.
The atmosphere in the carriage, which was originally a bit cold, gradually warmed up under his burning gaze.
Xie Wan Ning noticed it, and she hastily avoided his gaze, stammering, "I haven't thought about it yet, you said you wouldn't force me!"
"...Okay, I won't force you." Lu Ziyan's Adam's apple slid down, and he looked at her with deep eyes for a while, and suddenly sighed, "Wanwan, don't you miss me at all?"
He had clearly taken good care of her during those two years. Although she said she only felt sick at the time, her body's reaction could not lie. She...
“Shut up!” Xie Wan Ning pulled her hand back and said with a red face, “Don’t mention this kind of thing again!”
His palms felt empty, and Lu Ziyan, who was clearly despised, gritted his teeth secretly and blamed everything on the escaped Jin Wuji.
It was all Jinren’s fault. He left her with a trauma and she refused to give in and try with him again!
In the past few days, her attitude has softened a lot and she is no longer so cold to him. If she wants to further repair the relationship between husband and wife, how can she not have sex?
As long as he tried once, he was confident that he could make her forget about that sickly guy and only remember his goodness.
He is young and strong, how can he compare to that sickly old man!
Thinking about the fact that this girl and that old man had been in love for half a year, Lu Ziyan felt sad and said a little aggrievedly: "But Wanwan, I am almost suffocating."
In his two lifetimes combined, he has been a vegetarian for how long.
But she didn't allow him to mention it.
Xie Wan Ning's face straightened and she said angrily, "You're just thinking about this matter, right? What if I just don't want to?"
"...If you don't want to, forget it." Lu Ziyan leaned his head closer and looked at her seriously. "I want you as a man, but I can control it. I am willing to wait until you nod and accept me again. As long as you don't want other men anymore, I can wait no matter how long it takes."
As long as she really reconsiders their relationship and no longer has the thought of going back to that sickly guy, he can proceed step by step and let her accept him slowly.
He came too close, so close that Xie Wan Ning thought he wanted to kiss her again, so she quickly reached out and pushed his face away, saying, "Don't get too close."
"..." Lu Ziyan gritted his teeth secretly, and made a note of Jin Wuji in his heart. He lifted the curtain of the car, got out, and rode away on horseback.
As soon as he left, the intimidating aura disappeared, and Xie Wan Ning breathed a sigh of relief.
She was abducted by the Jin people. Even if Lu Ziyan took all the blame on herself, it was a fact that she was abducted by a foreign man and her reputation was ruined. This marriage with Pei Yuqing was destined to end. But even so, she was still Pei Yuqing's legitimate wife. How could she feel at ease being intimate with Lu Ziyan?
She couldn't do that. Fortunately, Lu Ziyan thought that she had fallen into Jin Wuji's hands and was tortured. She was afraid of men and was afraid of triggering her painful memories, so he was cautious and able to maintain the current balance.
Xie Wan Ning knew how much he regretted everything she had gone through, and she thought about whether she should explain it to him clearly. But when she thought that once she explained it clearly, this excuse would no longer be usable, and he would press her even more step by step and without any scruples, she couldn't say it.
At least... at least let her talk things out with Pei Yuqing, get the divorce papers, and then talk about other things.
She thought it through very carefully, and analyzed the situation between the Pei family, the Xie family, Pei Yuqing, herself, and Lu Ziyan in detail. She believed that a peaceful divorce would be the best outcome.
Lu Ziyan is too crazy. Even if it is for everyone's good, she has to divorce him and try to accept him again.
This would be the best solution if you don't want bloodshed.
As for her own heart...
In the past few days, Xie Wan Ning also asked herself whether she still loved Lu Ziyan, but she couldn't get a definite answer.
Just like the pure heart-pounding feeling when she first fell in love in her previous life, once it’s gone, it’s gone and she can never get it back.
Her feelings for Lu Ziyan were complicated, so complicated that she couldn't figure it out herself. Perhaps, as he said, they were destined to be entangled for life.
She had resisted and struggled, but in the end she was still entangled with him.
In that case, as long as everyone is safe, she won't struggle.
She only hoped now that this balance would continue and not be broken.
…………
Perhaps everything in this world goes against one's wishes.
Early in the morning of the fourth day, when they were very close to the Northern Frontier, Jin Wuji, who had been hiding all the way, was caught by Lu Ziyan's men.
After receiving the news, Lu Ziyan ordered to slow down the journey, so that night, Jin Wuji, who was covered in wounds, was escorted over.
By then they had arrived at their accommodation for the night, a dilapidated official residence.
Xie Wan Ning returned to her room after dinner and was about to go to sleep when there was a loud knock on the door.
"Open the door Wanwan." Lu Ziyan's voice came from outside.
As Xie Wan Ning opened the door, he grabbed her wrist.
"Do you want to take revenge yourself?" he said as he pulled her out.
Xie Wan Ning understood at once.
Jin Wuji caught it.
Sure enough, in the brightly lit courtyard, Jin Wuji, who had disappeared for a few days, had his hands tied behind his back.
He was kneeling on the ground, surrounded by several deputy generals including Ming Feng. His hair crown was disheveled, his long hair was messy, and his originally smooth face was all blue. He looked extremely embarrassed.
Perhaps it was because the days of hiding were too difficult these days that the Crown Prince of the Great Jin Dynasty no longer had the arrogant demeanor he used to have. When he saw them coming, he raised his head stiffly with no expression on his face.
Lu Ziyan let go of Xie Wan Ning's hand, walked up to him, put one foot on the back of his hand, and said calmly: "When you came to the Khan to kidnap people, did you ever think that you would end up like this?"
The sound of bones breaking rang out in the night air. Jin Wuji broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead, but he remained strong and did not let out a howl of pain.
"The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, there is nothing to say," he gritted his teeth and said, "but you can't kill me."
"Oh?" Lu Ziyan seemed puzzled. He moved his foot away and looked down at the hand with shattered bones on the ground. A satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his lips. He stepped on the other intact hand and said with a smile, "You still don't know me well enough. There is nothing in this world that I can't do."
For example, the pair of hands that had been placed on her waist, he decided that day to destroy it even if it meant going to heaven or hell.
The fingers are connected to the heart, and the bones in his hands are shattered. Even the best doctor in the world cannot save them.
This time, Jin Wuji could no longer bear the pain of his broken bones, and shouted, "Stop! Let me go. As the crown prince of the Great Jin Dynasty, you can ask for any conditions you want."
Lu Ziyan turned a deaf ear to him and kept pressing down hard with his feet for a while until the kneeling person fainted from cold sweat.
A basin of cold water was poured over his head, and Jin Wuji woke up. Seeing Lu Ziyan's face that looked like a murderous god, he hurriedly said, "How about we make a deal? Killing me can only relieve your anger temporarily, but letting me go will bring you greater benefits."
Lu Ziyan squatted down and asked, "Are you so afraid of death?"
Who is not afraid of death!
The more powerful a person is, the more he values his life.
Just as Jin Wuji was about to speak, Lu Ziyan said, "You're afraid of death, but you still dare to touch my woman?"
"It's not my fault."
Jin Wuji shuddered all over and said quickly, "That day, you led your army to the border, and the Jin Dynasty was defeated and retreating. When you were helpless, you received a secret letter. The letter detailed your old friendship with Miss Xie, saying that she was the key to breaking the deadlock, and promised to help me capture her. In order to gain my trust, the letter was stamped with the private seals of your two princes, the Khan. You are also the commander of an army. If it were you, would you go for this opportunity to turn the tide of the war?"
He was not so credulous as to trust others easily. He suspected it was a fraud at first. He sent people to inquire whether everything in the letter was true or not, and only then did he believe it 30%. He then learned that Lu Ziyan was actually the biological son of the Great Khan, and that several of the Khan's princes were fighting for the position of crown prince, and then he believed it 70%.
He tried to write a reply, and received a response quickly from the other side. This time, the person who delivered the letter was actually the second prince's brother-in-law.
Seventy percent trust turned into ten percent. The Khan's royal family was in internal strife, and they were willing to collaborate with the enemy in order to seize the position of crown prince. How could Jin Wuji miss such an opportunity? In order to be absolutely sure, he even went to the Khan's capital in person to kidnap people.
All the plans were executed perfectly, but Lu Ziyan's reaction caught Jin Wuji off guard.
He thought that the person he kidnapped might be the woman that Lu Ziyan cared about, but he didn't expect that Lu Ziyan would get the news so quickly. He even put aside the war for a woman and rushed thousands of miles away day and night to rescue her.
One wrong step, then another, and he ended up in this situation because he was just one step behind.
Who could have thought that such a cold-blooded killer was actually a lovesick man.
Jin Wuji said, "As long as you let me go, I can hand over the two letters with the private seals of your Khan's two princes. If this bargaining chip is not enough, you can still make conditions."
Those two letters were irrefutable evidence of treason. With two less powerful rivals who could compete with him for the position of crown prince, he was sure that Lu Ziyan would be tempted.
But he was wrong again. Lu Ziyan's expression didn't change at all, and he just kept asking himself, "Do you remember what I said that day?"
If anyone dares to hurt her, I will kill every last person in the Jin Dynasty.
"You're crazy!" Jin Wuji widened his eyes as if he saw a monster.
