Hearing a rustling sound coming from a few steps away, Lu Yan felt even more nervous than when he sneaked into the palace tonight. He quickly turned around and turned his back to the screen, as if there was a savage beast behind him and did not dare to take another look. .

When Shen Ruoyan changed her clothes and came out, she saw Lu Yan wearing wet clothes, standing at the open door, blowing the cold wind alone, and she couldn't help but feel strange.

Hearing the girl's footsteps, Lu Yan turned around, took out a small porcelain bottle from his tight-fitting shirt, and put it in Shen Ruoyan's hand.

Shen Ruoyan quickly opened the bottle cap and poured out the pills. A dozen white and shiny pills rolled into her palm.

Shen Ruoyan was shocked and couldn't help but ask: "Why so many? Did you steal the whole bottle?"

Seeing that Lu Yan didn't speak, Shen Ruoyan said worriedly: "I only need one pill! You stole a whole bottle, wouldn't it be easy for the imperial concubine to detect it?"

Lu Yan rubbed her hair and said calmly: "If you put one in, it would be easier to detect due to the contrast. I simply replaced the whole bottle, but don't worry, this bottle is mine." , the fact is that the medicine has been replaced, Concubine Xuan will definitely not notice it."

Shen Ruoyan breathed out, Lu Yan was always thoughtful, she shouldn't disbelieve Lu Yan.

Seeing the girl carefully putting away the pills one by one, Lu Yan frowned slightly and asked, "You don't want to take it?"

Shen Ruoyan shook her head and expressed her concerns: "I thought that if the imperial concubine found out that the antidote had been transferred, she would definitely send someone to check my body. If she finds out that the poison in my body has been detoxified, what will happen? Either I am convinced that the antidote or we stole it? Anyway, this medicine is with me, it won’t be a big deal if I take it a few days later.”

Pretend not to eat first so that you can better stabilize the imperial concubine.

Shen Ruoyan was about to hide the medicine bottle, but she felt that her hand was empty and the antidote had been taken away by Lu Yan.

The young man had a calm face, and the tight facial lines revealed his cautious mood at the moment. Lu Yan opened the bottle cap, poured out a small pill from the inside, and before Shen Ruoyan could react, he put the pill away. into her open mouth.

"Lu Yan, you..."

Shen Ruoyan opened her mouth and wanted to spit out the pills, but she felt that her eyes were covered by a dark shadow, and then her lips softened, and a scent mixed with the fragrance of grass and trees swept over her.

Lu Yan held up the girl's face domineeringly and blocked her movements with a kiss.

With a flick of his tongue, the young man put the pill into Shen Ruoyan's mouth, forcing her to swallow it. After feeding the medicine, the young man did not move away, but continued to greedily take it until both of them ran out of air, then reluctantly let go.

Shen Ruoyan gasped for air, her heart beating almost out of her throat, covering up her embarrassment with anger, and asked loudly: "How could you do this?"

"Be good," holding her face with both hands, Lu Yan's eyes were full of Shen Ruoyan's figure, "I understand all the principles, but I can't take risks with you. I only want you to be safe, and I will take care of the rest. Just do it for me."

With the arrival of the first ray of morning light, the heavy rain overnight finally stopped. No matter what happened last night, the sun rose as usual.

The spring breeze brought a little warmth and dried their hair. Two strands of flowing black hair were entangled with each other in the gentle breeze.

Shen Ruoyan raised her head and saw a warm sun rising behind Lu Yan, framing the young man's beautiful outline. For some reason, her dry eyes suddenly filled with tears.

Under Lu Yan's domineering and powerful gaze, Shen Ruoyan could only nod in agreement.

Lu Yan finally let her go with satisfaction and said, "It's getting late. I have to go to court in the morning, so I'll leave first."

Seeing that the person was about to leave, Shen Ruoyan expressed concern from the bottom of her heart: "Lu Yan, you have to be careful!"

The young man showed a happy smile, "Yeah!"

The girl warned again: "Remember to change your inner clothes when you go back, and then put on the court clothes. Your illness is just right, and you must not catch a cold again."

"Yes, ma'am."

*****

With the antidote, according to the original plan, Shen Ruoyan planned to fake her death to escape from the marriage.

But when all obstacles were removed, Shen Ruoyan's heart began to waver. She was unwilling to admit that her hesitation was because she had a slight feeling for Lu Yan in her heart.

During the day, looking at the joyful expressions on the faces of the people around her and looking forward to the upcoming wedding, Shen Ruoyan became more and more confused about whether she should run away from the wedding or not.

But once night came, Shen Ruoyan had nightmares one after another, constantly dreaming about the tragic deaths of her family members in her previous life.

Waking up from another nightmare, Shen Ruoyan suddenly sat up from the bed and found that the clothes on her back were already soaked.

The scene from her dream just now was still lingering in her mind, unable to dissipate for a long time. Shen Ruoyan was breathing heavily, and a familiar feeling of powerlessness spread throughout her body.

Looking at the cold moon outside the window, Shen Ruoyan finally made up her mind. Even though Lu Yan was treating her in every possible way now, she had to be wary of him because of the lessons from her previous life.

No matter what, family is the first thing Shen Ruoyan needs to consider, and she cannot risk the lives of her whole family.

Besides, the imperial concubine didn't know that she secretly took the antidote. If she faked her own death, she would be able to solve a hundred problems, and also solve a worry for Lu Yan.

Shen Ruoyan is a person who does what she says. After making a decision, she went to inspect her various stores the next day. She also used her memory to identify the styles of clothes and jewelry that would be popular in the next few years. Once the painting was drawn, he handed it to Chun Niang together with the account book, and asked her to serve as the shopkeeper and manage all the shops on his behalf.

"Are you really going to leave?" Chun Niang was surprised after hearing Shen Ruoyan's plan to fake her own death to escape from marriage.

Even she, an ordinary citizen, knew that Lu Yan was the dream lover of all the girls in the city who had not yet left the court. Even though they now knew that he was about to get married, there were still many girls who were clamoring to marry him, even if they went to work as a maid in the General's Mansion. willing.

Chun Niang couldn't understand why Shen Ruoyan was so determined to fake her own death and escape from the marriage when she ignored such a good marriage.

"Chun Niang, I can't explain this matter, but this is a decision I made after careful consideration. I hope you can support me." Shen Ruoyan lowered her eyes, hiding the nostalgia in her heart.

Chun Niang nodded and patted Shen Ruoyan on the back understandingly. Everyone in this world has unspeakable difficulties, and as a friend, she can only give her full support.

"Well, no matter what, I will definitely stand by your side. But you have to be careful on the road. If you are so beautiful, do you need to hire a bodyguard to protect your safety?"
